Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

"What does Your Majesty wish to know?"

Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How did you figure out the problem with Yanyan?"

Lin Yang was taken aback and gave Dugu Bo a deep look.

He never expected that when faced with a host of secrets about him, the first thing this Poison Douluo would think of was Dugu Yan.

Rather than the pile of super-limit spirit rings on his body.

It seems that Dugu Yan holds a much higher place in the old poison master's heart than he imagined.

Lin Yang thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Your Majesty may not know, but I am not only a Soul Master, but also a healer. Due to some special reasons, I am extremely sensitive to toxins."

"So when I first met Senior Sister Dugu, I already sensed that she was carrying poison."

"Although few, they cannot escape my eyes."

Dugu Bo's face darkened: "My Dugu family's martial spirit is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, so it's normal for us to be poisonous."

"That's true," Lin Yang nodded and said in a deep voice.

"It's perfectly normal for a martial soul to be poisonous, even Senior Sister Dugu herself doesn't see anything wrong with it."

He paused, then changed the subject.

"But as a part of a Soul Master, one is born with a certain degree of control over their Martial Soul. Senior Sister Dugu has been taught by His Majesty since childhood, so her control over Soul Power goes without saying, and she knows her Martial Soul very well."

"If it's just normal toxicity inherent in a martial soul, then Senior Sister Dugu should be able to control it with ease."

"But the reality is that she has begun to lose control of her martial spirit, and this uncontrollable toxin is a sign of that."

Dugu Bo clenched his fist tightly, making the air crackle.

Lin Yang ignored this and continued speaking.

"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul did indeed enhance her resistance to toxins, but a Martial Soul is like a container; there's always a limit to how much it can hold."

"The toxins that Senior Sister Dugu is currently carrying have exceeded their limit, and the overflowing portion is constantly eroding her body."

"If this continues for a long time, the toxins will become stronger as her cultivation level increases, and she will eventually become a completely poisonous person..."

"That's enough!"

Dugu Bo slammed his palm on the stone table, and the stone table was instantly covered with cracks.

He was breathing heavily, a hint of pain in his eyes.

Actually, Lin Yang hadn't finished speaking.

In a situation like Dugu Yan's, even a poison-wielding person wouldn't survive; she'd probably be overwhelmed by all the poisons.

After a long while, Dugu Bo closed his eyes, his fingers trembling slightly, his voice low and hoarse.

"Kid, since you can see Yanyan's problem, let me ask you, do you have a solution?"

When Dugu Bo said those words, even he himself didn't quite believe that Lin Yang would have a solution.

After all, even he was helpless with this problem, so what could a little kid possibly do?

But this kid has given him so much to be amazed about today.

It's like a drowning person grabbing at a straw; even knowing the hope is slim, they still have to try their best.

"have!"

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, his eerie green pupils gleaming with a terrifying light.

"What did you say?"

Lin Yang repeated himself: "Your Majesty, I said... I have a way to solve Senior Sister Dugu's problem."

The words had barely left his mouth when Lin Yang's vision blurred, and Poison Douluo was already upon him, gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands, saying each word slowly and deliberately...

"Are you... are you telling the truth?"

Lin Yang could clearly feel those withered wrists trembling slightly, the excitement of discovering hope in a desperate situation.

Under Dugu Bo's expectant gaze, Lin Yang nodded.

"It's true, and I can think of two ways."

"What's the solution? Tell me quickly!" Dugu Bo asked impatiently.

Lin Yang's tone remained calm as he continued,

"As I just said, a martial spirit is like a container. To resolve the overload of toxins, you either need to stop cultivating or make the container bigger."

Dugu Bo frowned. Should he tell Yan Yan to stop cultivating?

She won't accept it.

He knew very well that his granddaughter had lofty ambitions, and trying to stop her from becoming a Great Soul Master would be worse than killing her.

"How do you want to expand the 'container'?"

Lin Yang was not surprised by Dugu Bo's reaction, and simply said,

"The best way to expand the container is to use a rare and precious material that is extremely compatible with the martial soul to promote the growth and evolution of the martial soul."

"A snake can transform into a jiao (a type of dragon), and a jiao can become a dragon. The process of a snake transforming into a dragon is itself a process of continuously strengthening its own 'container'."

"But such rare and precious materials that are compatible with martial spirits are extremely rare. You may not be able to find even one in your entire life."

Lin Yang: Crazy Hint.jpg!

rare and precious materials?

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Dugu Bo's heart.

If it were something else rare, he might have a headache, but what he has no shortage of are all kinds of rare and precious materials.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo looked at Lin Yang suspiciously.

He suspected that the kid might know something.

Otherwise, this is too much of a coincidence.

But he quickly dismissed the idea. Even Yan Yan didn't know about that treasure land, so how could this kid possibly know?

But since this kid was able to come up with such a method, maybe he recognizes the things there...

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't say it explicitly, but continued to ask,

"What's the second method?"

"The second method is much simpler," Lin Yang said.

"That is the soul bone."

Soul Bone?

Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed.

"After a soul bone is absorbed by a soul master, it can be regarded as part of the body. During daily cultivation, the toxins accumulated in the body can be forced into the soul bone, which can be used as a container to store toxins."

"However, this method has a drawback: it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause!"

A flash of understanding crossed Dugu Bo's eyes: "Are you saying that soul bones also have limits?"

"That's right," Lin Yang nodded.

"If possible, it would be best to use a poison-type external soul bone."

"External soul bones have strong growth potential, and can grow alongside the soul master. They can naturally contain more toxins, and may even become an additional terrifying weapon."

"However, external soul bones are extremely rare; they are something you can only encounter by chance!"

At this moment, Dugu Bo chuckled sinisterly: "Hehehe, isn't there one right in front of me?"

"Your Majesty is too kind," Lin Yang said with a faint smile.

"I don't believe you can't see that this soul bone has completely fused with me and is of no use to you at all."

Seeing that he hadn't intimidated Lin Yang, Dugu Bo snorted unhappily.

"It's that simple?"

"Of course not. If Your Majesty uses the Soul Bone Technique, it must be combined with the potion I prepared. Otherwise, recklessly forcing the poison into the bones will only hasten your death!"

Dugu Bo's eyes flashed, and his voice turned colder.

"Kid, are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Lin Yang said he wouldn't dare, but his gaze remained fixed on Dugu Bo without the slightest hesitation.

"But I have witnessed Your Majesty's temperament to some extent, and I really dare not gamble my life on Your Majesty."

A dangerous glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, but Lin Yang remained as still as a mountain, seemingly oblivious to it.

After a long pause, Dugu Bo suddenly laughed.

What do you want?

Lin Yang took a deep breath.

"I hope you will swear by your martial spirit that you will not tell anyone anything about me, including every word you say here today."

Dugu Bo narrowed his long, narrow eyes and stared intently at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang's expression remained unchanged.

"So you're so sure I won't kill you?"

Lin Yang shook his head, his tone calm: "No, because Your Majesty dares not gamble."

Given how much Dugu Bo cares about Dugu Yan, Lin Yang is 90% certain that the old poison master won't take the risk.

Even if we lose the gamble, the worst that can happen is that we lose an external soul bone.

These days, who doesn't have a few cards up their sleeve?

As long as his ghostly form remains unexposed, he has a chance to start over.

At this moment, a hint of complexity appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes as he looked at Lin Yang.

That kid is right, he really doesn't dare to gamble.

Both of his proposed methods were reasonable, and he had a feeling that both might be able to solve Yan Yan's problem.

But the most core and crucial part is inseparable from this kid.

What alarmed him even more was that this kid had completely figured out human nature.

As long as he still cares about Yan Yan, this kid will always be invincible.

On the contrary, he would even owe this kid a favor.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but glance at Lin Yang a few more times.

This kid may look young, but he's as cunning as a fox who's lived for decades.

He was even starting to regret not agreeing to the kid's request to become his apprentice, but it was too late now.

"Okay, I promise."

Dugu Bo's tone softened slightly, but his expression became serious.

"I, Dugu Bo, swear by my Martial Soul, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, that I will not reveal a single word about Lin Yang to anyone today. If I break this oath, may my Martial Soul be shattered and I die from being devoured by countless poisons!"

Lin Yang bowed slightly: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

"Kid... Lin Yang, if you can really cure Yan Yan's poison, I can grant you three requests, three things within my power."

"I think that's what you want too."

A strange light flashed in Lin Yang's eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
