Chapter 21: 40,000-Year Bloodthirsty Devil Spider King Right Leg Bone, Dugu Bo Kowtows in Gratitude!
Yu Jingcheng was just waiting to return to the Star Dou Great Forest to take down this Golden Tortoise.
It would be best if it could sacrifice itself to him.
If not, the Dugu Bo he had recruited would come in handy!
Inside the secret chamber of the Dugu Residence.
Dim green light flickered, and the air was thick with a nauseating, cloying scent.
Yu Jingcheng sat cross-legged in the seat of honor, fine beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.
In front of him, the father and son, Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, were bare-chested, guiding the toxins accumulated over many years according to the "Soul Bone Poison Storage Method" taught by Yu Jingcheng.
Just as Yu Jingcheng expected, Dugu Bo was, after all, a peak Rank 89 Soul Douluo, only one step away from becoming a Titled Douluo.
His Soul Power was incredibly profound, and his control over toxins was consummate.
Under Yu Jingcheng's guidance, he quickly grasped the knack, forcing the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison raging in his Meridians bit by bit into his existing Soul Bone.
As the toxins were transferred, Dugu Bo's originally sallow and dark complexion gradually regained its color, even his turbid green eyes cleared up a bit, and his aura became increasingly steady.
However, on the other side, Dugu Xin's situation was not optimistic.
"Pfft—!"
Dugu Xin suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his whole body trembling violently, his face as pale as paper.
"Xin'er!"
Dugu Bo, who was finishing his cultivation, turned pale with fright and quickly reached out to support his staggering son, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"Sect Master, this... what is going on?"
Dugu Bo looked at Yu Jingcheng in a panic, his voice trembling:
"Why do I feel completely refreshed, yet Xin'er is in even more pain?"
Yu Jingcheng slowly withdrew his Soul Power, looked at the suffering Dugu Xin, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice:
"Elder Dugu, your concern has clouded your judgment."
"As a Soul Douluo who possesses a ten-thousand-year Medusa Skull, the toxins in your body have a place to go, so it naturally follows through."
"But your son is only a Rank 58 Soul King; his Soul Power is already insufficient to suppress the potent poison in his body."
"The most critical point is..."
Yu Jingcheng's sharp gaze swept over Dugu Xin's entire body:
"He doesn't have a single Soul Bone on him."
"Without a container, the toxins have nowhere to go after being forced out of the Meridians; they can only run rampant within his body, making the backlash naturally more fierce."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, freezing in place.
It was true.
The core of the Soul Bone Poison Storage Method was the "Soul Bone."
Without a Soul Bone, this method was a death warrant!
"This... what should we do..."
Dugu Bo looked at his dying son in his arms, his eyes filled with despair.
How precious were Soul Bones?
Even Dugu Bo, after many years in the Soul Master World, had only obtained a single Medusa Skull.
Where was he supposed to find a suitable Soul Bone for his son now?
Go hunt a Soul Beast?
It was too late!
Buy one at an auction?
Such a priceless treasure was not something one could simply buy whenever they wanted!
"Could it be... that the heavens want to destroy my Dugu family?"
Grief welled up in Dugu Bo, and tears filled his eyes.
Just as the atmosphere in the secret chamber reached the peak of oppression and Dugu Bo was on the verge of despair.
"Elder Dugu, calm yourself."
Yu Jingcheng's calm voice rang out, carrying a strange power that soothed the heart.
With a flick of his wrist, a light flashed.
A leg bone, entirely purple-black and emitting a dense, evil aura and the scent of blood, appeared out of thin air in his hand.
As soon as this leg bone appeared, the temperature in the entire secret chamber seemed to drop several degrees.
The halo flowing over it faintly formed a hideous human-faced spider face, making one's hair stand on end.
"This is..."
Dugu Bo's pupils constricted suddenly, and he stared intently at the leg bone, his breathing instantly becoming heavy.
As a master of poisons, he could tell at a glance that this Soul Bone was extraordinary!
"A 40,000-year Bloodthirsty Devil Spider King Right Leg Bone."
Yu Jingcheng's tone was flat, as if he hadn't produced a priceless treasure but a common stone.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Spider is an overlord among venomous spider Soul Beasts; its toxicity is no less intense than your Jade Phosphor Serpent.
And this Soul Bone came from a Spider King with 40,000 years of cultivation, so its quality is extremely high.
Using it as a container for your son to store toxins is not only more than sufficient, but it could even take his poison techniques to the next level.
Then, Yu Jingcheng tossed it casually.
The 40,000-year Soul Bone, which was enough to cause a bloodbath in the entire Soul Master World, landed lightly on the ground in front of Dugu Bo.
It made a crisp "clink" sound.
This crisp sound was like a heavy hammer, slamming hard into the hearts of Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin.
"Fo... 40,000 years?!"
Dugu Bo was completely stunned.
He tremblingly reached out his hand, wanting to touch the Soul Bone, but then pulled it back as if afraid of desecrating the treasure.
This was a 40,000-year Soul Bone!
Even in the Upper Three Sects, this would be an existence worthy of being a sect-protecting treasure!
This young Sect Master actually... just took it out so casually?
And it was to save his son?
"Sect Master... this... this is too precious!"
Even the suffering Dugu Xin was snapped back to reality by this massive shock.
He struggled to decline, and although there was desire in his eyes, there was even more trepidation:
"Your subordinate has not yet performed any service; how could I dare to accept such a great favor?"
"This is a 40,000-year Soul Bone; if it were auctioned, it could buy half of Heaven Dou City..."
"Your subordinate is unworthy; I absolutely cannot accept this!"
Dugu Bo also took a deep breath, suppressing the greed in his heart, and said in a low voice:
"Sect Master, Xin'er is right."
"This gift is too heavy; we, father and son... cannot afford to accept it."
Seeing the father and son's terrified and uneasy expressions, Yu Jingcheng nodded inwardly.
To be able to maintain rationality in the face of such a treasure, the character of the Dugu family was indeed trustworthy.
However, once something is given away, how can it be taken back?
"Cannot afford to accept it?"
Yu Jingcheng sneered, standing with his hands behind his back, his body emitting an unquestionable dominance:
"Since you have entered my sect, you are my people."
"The lives of my people are worth more than a Soul Bone!"
"A mere 40,000-year Soul Bone; if it can trade for a future Titled Douluo, I find this deal quite worthwhile."
Yu Jingcheng looked at Dugu Xin with burning eyes:
"Dugu Xin, if you don't accept it, do you want your father to outlive his son?"
"Or do you think your life isn't worth this one bone?"
These words were spoken with a powerful resonance, deafening and awakening.
Dugu Xin's whole body shook, and his eyes instantly turned red.
He looked at his worried old father beside him, then at the extraordinary young Sect Master before him.
The defenses in his heart finally collapsed completely.
"The Sect Master's great kindness... Dugu Xin will never forget it as long as I live!"
Dugu Xin suddenly knelt on the ground and heavily kowtowed three times to Yu Jingcheng.
