Luo: Martial Soul Thunder Ancestral Dragon

Chapter 21 Dugu Bo

"Grandpa, my friends are here!" Dugu Yan skipped and hopped toward one of them.

The man was tall and thin, resembling a javelin, with dark green hair and beard. As he turned around, Yu Tianyi saw a pair of eyes that looked like emeralds.

He is Dugu Bo, nickname: Poison!

Dugu Bo gives off an ethereal feeling, as if he were a phantom.

Dugu Bo was expressionless most of the time. Except when he saw Dugu Yan, his cheeks were sunken, his green hair was messy, and he was only wearing a simple gray robe.

Judging from his appearance, Dugu Bo, this titled Douluo, looks like an old man in his twilight years.

There wasn't a trace of life in him.

"Yan'er, are these your friends?" Dugu Bo's cold gaze swept over the three of them.

Yu Tianyi felt a chill run through his body, as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, while Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled slightly beside him.

Seeing this, Yu Tianyi stepped forward and came to Ye Lingling's side.

In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo withdrew his icy aura and spoke in a slightly gentler voice.

"Welcome, little ones. I am Dugu Bo. You are on good terms with my granddaughter. Make yourselves at home here. Yan'er, take good care of me." After saying this, Dugu Bo disappeared.

"Grandpa, how could you do this?" Dugu Yan said, hands on her hips, somewhat annoyed.

But Dugu Bo had already disappeared, so how could he hear Dugu Yan's voice?

"Please sit down first, I'll go make you some tea," Dugu Yan said, and hurried away with light steps.

Yu Tianyi said "okay" and then wandered around aimlessly.

He quietly looked around, searching for the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Until a hot breeze mixed with coolness came, Yu Tianyi found the direction of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

"Sister-in-law, may I speak with Senior Dugu Bo?" Yu Tianyi asked.

Dugu Yan, who brought the tea, was taken aback for a moment, and then said.

"I need to ask my grandfather about this. I dare not make a decision on my own without his permission," Dugu Yan said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law," Yu Tianyi said.

Dugu Yan waved her hand and headed towards the depths of the canyon.

A moment later, Dugu Yan slowly approached.

“Grandpa said he can talk to you; he’s up ahead,” Dugu Yan said, pointing to the depths of the canyon.

"Okay, sister-in-law," Yu Tianyi said as he walked over.

"Tianyi, be sure not to offend the senior," Yu Tianheng instructed.

"Don't worry, brother." Yu Tianyi waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Deep in the canyon, beside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the ground, and upon closer inspection, his entire body was trembling slightly.

There were even drops of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose.

When he was some distance away from Dugu Bo, Yu Tianyi respectfully said, "Greetings, Senior Dugu Bo."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "You are Yu Yuanzhen's grandson?"

Yu Tianyi nodded and said: Yes, senior.

“He has great talent; he’s a promising prospect,” Dugu Bo nodded.

"You flatter me, senior."

"I heard from Yan'er that you said we were poisoned?" Dugu Bo asked casually, as if he were talking about something that didn't exist.

"Yes, senior. Sister Yan's eyes are green, which is unusual. I have read an ancient scroll that describes this condition."

If I'm not mistaken, it's highly likely that Sister Yan's parents were also poisoned...

At this point, Yu Tianyi stopped talking.

Looking at Dugu Bo again, his face was pale and stiff.

After a moment, Dugu Bo sighed and said.

"Yes, the couple did indeed die from poisoning."

"Is it the poison inherited from our predecessors?" Yu Tianyi continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from Dugu Bo.

When this icy aura approached Yu Tianyi, it was blocked by an invisible object.

"Huh? What's this?"

Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled, and he frowned slightly.

Dugu Bo's martial soul is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, one of the dragon species, and belongs to the rare martial soul category.

However, he has now cultivated the Azure Serpent to the level of Azure Serpent Emperor, which can also be said to be the ancestor of all serpents.

Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised that the Azure Serpent King's oppressive aura had no effect on Yu Tianyi.

Just as he was pondering this, a roar came from behind Yu Tianyi.

"Roar!"

A bluish-purple dragon shadow slowly appeared; it was none other than the Thunder Ancestral Dragon!

An aura of holiness, nobility, dominance, and supremacy emanated from the dragon shadow!

At the same time, Yu Tianyi's third soul skill, Thunder Possession, was uncontrollably activated on its own.

At this moment, his skin surface transformed into purplish-blue dragon scales, shimmering with light, as indestructible as armor!

His hands, with sharp dragon claws extending from his fingers, were chilling and powerful enough to tear everything apart!

"Hmm? This kid is only level 33, yet he can already transform into three dragon forms. No wonder he's a genius young man of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex." Thinking to himself, Dugu Bo suddenly frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked up at the canyon.

Above the canyon, a man stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, staring at Dugu Bo.

"It was him! Yu Yuanzhen! Such a talented young man should have someone protecting him, but I never expected that he would personally take action."

Just as Dugu Bo was about to stand up to greet Yu Yuanzhen, he saw Yu Yuanzhen press his right hand down, and he understood his intention. He nodded to Yu Yuanzhen and said...

"Alright, I was just testing your strength. You're quite good. I'm relieved to have Yan'er in your care," Dugu Bo said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianyi's lips twitched a few times.

"Senior, Sister Yan's sweetheart isn't me, it's my brother Yu Tianheng," Yu Tianyi quickly explained.

"Hmm? Yu Tianheng? The one who traveled with you? Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity." Dugu Bo was not an old fogey and did not do anything foolish.

"Alright, kid, you say I'm poisoned, can you provide evidence?" Dugu Bo said.

"Senior, do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your ribs when it's cloudy or rainy, and does it gradually intensify and last for more than an hour, occurring once at noon and once at midnight?"

Also, do you experience sharp, stabbing pains in your head and soles of your feet, along with spasms throughout your body, lasting for at least half an hour, late at night, around 3 AM?

Upon hearing Yu Tianyi's words, Dugu Bo immediately stood up.

He looked at Yu Tianyi with a solemn expression, and after a moment, Dugu Bo said in a deep voice.

Do you have a solution?

“Senior, I can clearly describe your symptoms, so naturally I have a solution, but…” Yu Tianyi did not finish speaking, but waited for Dugu Bo to make his offer.

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll make sure you're satisfied as long as it's within my capabilities," Dugu Bo said.

Please add this to your favorites, thank you! ヾ(≧?≦)ノ

Chapter 22 "The Deal"

“However, if you want to marry my granddaughter, it’s not out of the question,” Dugu Bo said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianyi said helplessly, "Senior, please don't joke around. I don't want to be beaten to death by my brother."

After saying this, Yu Tianyi said seriously, "Senior, I do need some things, which are things you already possess."

"Hmm? Tell me about it," Dugu Bo asked.

"Senior, to be honest, the reason you haven't suffered from the poison for so many years is because this area contains a strange product of heaven and earth: the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire," Yu Tianyi said.

Dugu Bo frowned slightly, already having the answer in his heart.

"Is that the place?" Dugu Bo asked, pointing to the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

“Yes, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can suppress the poison in your body and reduce its toxicity. Of course, this wonder of the world has more than just this effect. The herbs that grow around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can be refined through certain methods to have unique medicinal effects. Of course, the effects are very singular, only targeting specific ailments,” Yu Tianyi said.

For now, he wouldn't reveal that it was a magical herb; Yu Tianyi knew Dugu Bo's character very well.

As mentioned in the original novel, Dugu Bo was both righteous and wicked, and always acted solely according to his own whims. People with this kind of personality are usually very difficult to get along with, but Dugu Bo was also exceptionally trustworthy and would always keep his promises.

Dugu Bo is stubborn and narrow-minded. He leaves no room for future trouble and will definitely eliminate any threat. He has no regard for face and does not mind bullying the weak. When faced with someone who threatens him, his first reaction is to kill them.

"If that's the case, wait a minute, around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well you mentioned, are there any herbs that Yan'er and I need?" Dugu Bo asked.

“Some of the poisonings in Sister Yan are hereditary, so they are relatively easy to treat. But for you… well, perhaps I have another good way to cure the poison in your body,” Yu Tianyi said.

"Oh? Do you have any other good ideas?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

Having spent his entire life dabbling in drugs, he had tried countless methods but had never been able to cure the poison in his body. When Yu Tianyi said he could cure it and that it was a good method, he immediately became interested.

"Actually, there are three ways to cure the poison that you have been poisoned. The first is for you to neutralize the poison yourself, but in that case, your soul power will start from zero."

The second method is to use herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to detoxify. This way, the soul power can be maintained relatively well, but it takes a long time and the effect is not obvious.

The third method, though risky, involves a scroll of poison scriptures called the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. If you successfully cultivate it according to its instructions, all the poisons in the world will become your weapons!

Dugu Bo listened intently, one hand behind his back and the other stroking his chin. After a moment, he asked in a softer voice.

"I know your grandfather, so it's not too much for me to call you Tianyi, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianyi was overjoyed and said, "That's how it should be, senior."
