Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

The young men and women before him were no more than twenty years old, yet each of them had already reached the Soul Saint realm; even more astonishing was the quality of their Soul Rings, which defied common sense and shattered the barriers of his understanding that had stood for decades.

Especially the sword intent emanating from Li Hanyi—sharp as a blade that cleaves the heavens, even the legendary Sword Douluo who was famous throughout the continent would probably find it difficult to match even a fraction of her sharpness.

Dugu Bo's expression changed several times, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly. Finally, he slowly withdrew his aura, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Before he could speak, Lin Quan, with a smile playing on his lips, calmly said:

"Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo who reigns supreme in the world of poisons..."

"I've long admired your name, but I never expected to meet you today—the mighty Poison Douluo is actually suffering from the backlash of the poison he himself created, making it impossible for him to move an inch."

Swah——

As soon as Lin Quan finished speaking, Dugu Bo's suppressed anger surged up suddenly, and his killing intent shot out like an ice spike, aimed directly at everyone's faces.

"snort!"

A cold snort rose into the air.

Li Hanyi didn't even raise her eyes, only gave a light shout, and her sword intent increased by another 30%, as sharp as a double-edged sword scraping bone, forcing Dugu Bo's throat to tighten, and he swallowed back his killing intent.

"Poison Douluo, hold on—can you let me finish what I have to say?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Quan changed the subject: "We have a way to cure this stubborn poison in your body."

"The easiest way is to forcefully guide the poison's power and seal it deep into the soul bone."

At this point, he suddenly stopped talking and said no more.

Leading poison into the bone? It's nothing more than a probing bait, the worst possible strategy!

But when these words reached Dugu Bo's ears, they were like a thunderbolt splitting the chaos.

His brows were furrowed, and he remained silent for a moment, his breathing becoming slightly heavy.

In just a few breaths, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, as if the sun had broken through the clouds.

Seeing this, Lin Quan's smile deepened: "What do you think of this method?"

"If that doesn't work, I have dozens of other solutions for you to choose from."

On this trip, they dared not speak of anything else, but the martial arts techniques—Wang Yuyan was a living treasure trove of martial arts, every technique they could pick up was a precious book.

Whether it's the martial arts world where Wang Yuyan came from or the Sword Domain where Li Hanyi is, there have never been many people skilled in poison.

But those people were either shady practitioners hiding their true intentions or notorious evil cultivators.

Even the renowned Poison Bodhisattva from Li Hanyi's hometown, whose poison skills had reached their peak and intimidated the region, ultimately could not be considered among the truly top-tier figures.

But Dugu Bo was different—he had long since used poison as his blood and as his bones, and almost turned himself into a human poison furnace!

"Yu Yan, is there a poison control technique suitable for Dugu Bo to learn?"

"It doesn't need to be anything too advanced, just enough to allow him to control the toxicity and regulate it at will."

Just in case, Lin Quan turned his head to look at Wang Yuyan, his tone calm and steady.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan pondered for a moment, then nodded, her voice clear and melodious: "Yes."

"Not only that, I have several more in my head..."

Dugu Bo's expression shifted several times, his brows furrowed as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on him, and finally he tightened his jaw and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"What... exactly do you want?"

At this moment, his mind was as clear as ice cracking.

If Lin Quan and his five companions truly wanted to take his life, why would they need to go through all this trouble?

Even though he was unwilling to back down, the truth was stark—if a real fight broke out, he might not be able to withstand a combined attack from these five people.

Since they didn't fall out, and instead brought up the matter of detoxification...

They must have something in mind when they come to our door!

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Before Lin Quan could speak, he preemptively hissed, "What you're after is my medicinal herb garden—"

Of all his possessions, this was the only place that warranted such serious attention from Lin Quan and his party!

Snap, snap, snap—

Three crisp, clean taps.

Lin Quan raised his hand and lightly tapped his palm, a slight smile playing on his lips, his gaze open and honest: "That's right, what we need is precisely the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire hidden deep in the mountain valley, in the heart of the poisonous miasma."

"If you nod, it won't just mean the poison that has been accumulating in your body for years..."

"We will also remove the lingering, chilling poison from your granddaughter's body."

In an instant, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his expression changed drastically.

After a moment, he stared directly at Lin Quan, his voice low and menacing: "Why should I believe you?"

Swah——

With a slight thought, Lin Quan flicked his finger, and the space within the mirror opened, revealing a small jade bottle in his palm.

It was the antidote pill that Li Hanyi brought back last night!

"Although this pill cannot cure your old ailment, it can loosen the poisoned meridians and alleviate some of your suffering."

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, and the jade bottle flew steadily toward Dugu Bo.

"If we really want to take action..."

He paused, his smile faint yet sharp, "Given Mr. Dugu's current state, he probably won't even have a chance to make a move."

The meaning is already clear without needing to be fully stated.

Even without Li Hanyi in charge, the combined efforts of Lin Quan and Qiao Jingjing alone would be enough to completely suppress him!

Dugu Bo gripped the jade bottle tightly, his knuckles turning white, and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, uncorked the bottle, and poured out a crimson pill.

It is only about the thickness of a little finger, and its entire surface is smooth and lustrous, gleaming with a warm medicinal sheen.

Without further hesitation, he tilted his head back and swallowed it.

The medicinal power, like spring water just beginning to melt, quietly seeped into every part of the body.

A hint of color slowly returned to his perpetually ashen face; the tightly furrowed brows also relaxed slightly.

Disbelief, ecstasy, shock... a surge of emotions welled up in his eyes, finally coalescing into a dazzling light.

He clearly sensed that the poison, which had been dormant for many years and was like a bone-deep ailment, was being peeled away strand by strand by a gentle yet tenacious force!

Once the entire pill had dissolved, the accumulated poison in his body was forcibly removed by a full ten percent!

"This...this...this..."

He suddenly looked up, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Quan and the others had changed—the wariness remained, but there was a hint of wavering, a hint of probing, and even a trace of barely perceptible eagerness.

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? I've never even heard of it."

His voice was hoarse, but he no longer resisted. "The herb garden is just down at the bottom of the valley. Come if you dare!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already leaped into the air, like a falcon swooping down a cliff, and suddenly disappeared into the churning dark green poisonous miasma below.

Without even a pause, they were not given a single chance to interrupt!

On the mountain ravine, the five people from Linquan exchanged glances, their understanding unspoken.

Qiao Jingjing stepped forward, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Leave the rest to me."

Swah——

An invisible force of thought suddenly spread out, rising like a giant net from the sky.

The five people rose off the ground and hung in mid-air, slowly sinking as she wished.

The thick, impenetrable miasma, upon encountering the mental barrier, dissipated and bypassed it as if it were hitting an impenetrable wall, without even wetting the hem of their clothes.

A hundred-meter abyss, reached in the blink of an eye.

The moment my feet touched solid ground, the entire valley unfolded before me—

The most striking feature is the three-zhang square pool in the center of the valley: half of it is filled with surging red waves, as blazing as lava; the other half is filled with stagnant cold waves, as serene as ice.

Around the pool, clusters of spiritual herbs and medicines sprouted from the soil, their branches and leaves unfurling, their radiance faintly visible.
