"Hahaha! It looks like you two have been getting along quite well!"
Suddenly, while Xiao Lin and Tang San were chatting, Dugu Bo's voice echoed through the valley. Judging by his tone, he seemed to be in an excellent mood.
Xiao Lin and Tang San both smiled as they watched Dugu Bo descend from the sky.
He was finally here; they had been stuck at the Rank 40 bottleneck for quite a long time. It was only because they had absorbed Immortal Herbs that their Soul Power levels weren't being wasted.
"Old Poison, you seem quite happy. Did you find an External Soul Bone?" Xiao Lin asked with familiar ease as Dugu Bo landed before them.
"I haven't found an External Soul Bone yet, but at least I don't have to worry about Yan'an's poison anymore."
Although he hadn't received a detoxification method from Master Xiao Yan himself, Xiao Yan's disciple, Xiao Lin, and Tang San had provided a perfect solution.
Dugu Bo quickly recounted the joyful events of the past month.
First, he had tested using a Soul Bone to store toxins.
The results were astounding.
A single Soul Bone had an effect similar to his Poison Core, significantly reducing the impact of the toxins on his own body. Consequently, Dugu Bo had spent the month scouring several auctions and even approached Emperor Xue Ye to obtain more Soul Bones.
His luck held out; Emperor Xue Ye indeed possessed a Soul Bone. In exchange for Dugu Bo's promise to help the Heaven Dou Empire once without reservation during a major crisis, the Emperor granted him a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.
Now, that Soul Bone was in Dugu Yan's hands, helping her perfectly absorb her remaining toxins. Listening to Dugu Bo, Xiao Lin noticed that the color of the old man's eyes had faded considerably; they were no longer the deep, toxic green they once were.
Even his hair was slowly beginning to turn back to a lighter white.
"Haha, I also visited the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy library to look up records. I actually found the legend of the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon you mentioned."
"It's said to be a Soul Beast that lives in High Mountain springs over a thousand meters above the ground. Furthermore, wherever a Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon exists, no other toxic things can be found in the surrounding area."
Dugu Bo didn't say this because he doubted Xiao Lin's previous words; rather, now that he had confirmed the legend, he was prepared to let Dugu Yan's Martial Soul evolve into the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon.
"That's good. Little San and I searched the surrounding area for suitable herbs and found a stalk of Dragon Blood Grass. It should be able to trigger Senior Sister Dugu Yan's Martial Soul evolution. That way, she'll be fine even without detoxification."
As he spoke, Xiao Lin pointed toward a particularly lush stalk of Dragon Blood Grass growing near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.
He hadn't expected to find a way to evolve Yan'an's Martial Soul into a Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon so quickly.
"This... this..."
For a moment, Dugu Bo didn't know how to thank them.
Although this medicinal garden originally belonged to him, he had never dared to use medicines he didn't recognize, nor did he dare to test them on his own body. Now, the solution had been found so easily.
It was truly a case of "searching for her a thousand times in the crowd, only to turn around and find her there..."
Of course, Dugu Bo didn't actually know that specific poem.
"What's there to thank us for? You basically gave us all these herbs; if anything, we're the ones who came out ahead," Xiao Lin said, shaking his head before nodding to Tang San.
"Little San, give the antidote to Senior Dugu."
"Senior Dugu, here is your medicine. We've prepared a thirty-day supply, which is enough to ensure that the rest of your life won't be affected by the toxins."
Tang San handed several small porcelain bottles to Dugu Bo.
Because of Xiao Lin's blood, the potency of the medicine far exceeded that of the original timeline, showing significant results.
"Hehe, hahahaha! The poison that plagued this old man for a lifetime was actually solved just like that by you two kids?"
Dugu Bo's consciousness wavered for a moment.
In a daze, he swallowed one of the pills.
A moment later, a sensation of coolness mixed with heat spread from his stomach. Dugu Bo could clearly feel the toxins in his body being neutralized.
"Sigh, Xin'er, you and your wife truly..."
Dugu Bo felt a pang of grief for his deceased son.
Holding the medicine, his expression was complex.
Xiao Lin and Tang San made sure not to disturb him. After a while, once Dugu Bo had composed himself, he produced a silken pouch.
"This is my Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse. It can store living things. I can see you want to take many herbs with you; consider this a gift."
Dugu Bo looked between Xiao Lin and Tang San, unsure which one to give it to.
"Give it to Little San. He's the one who likes growing herbs."
"Brother Lin!"
Xiao Lin's words moved Tang San deeply.
Even though such an item wouldn't have been very useful to Xiao Lin, the gesture still touched Tang San's heart.
"We're brothers, what does this matter?"
Xiao Lin knew that the Tang San of the original timeline would have received this Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse anyway, so he cared even less. His presence had simply spared Tang San from having to scheme against Dugu Bo.
"In that case, take this, Senior Dugu!"
As he spoke, Tang San pulled out a Sool Tool hidden weapon he had manufactured during this past month: the Cluster Soul Chasing Ball.
"Senior Dugu, this is a life-saving hidden weapon our master left for us. It incorporates Sool Tool technology. As long as you throw them so they collide, the internal Sool Tools and hidden weapons will attack the enemy simultaneously."
"Even a Titled Douluo, if caught off guard, could be heavily injured or killed," Tang San said with a serious expression.
Although he didn't yet know exactly how strong a Titled Douluo was, these Cluster Soul Chasing Ball were Sool Tool hidden weapons he had meticulously crafted over the past month; he had that much confidence.
Watching Tang San hand the bolts to Dugu Bo, Xiao Lin felt a bit of emotion.
He knew exactly what kind of Sool Tool Tang San had added—it was a Soul Skill used for lightning acceleration. While its raw attack power wasn't astronomical, it would cause a much more violent reaction in the original hidden weapon.
To put it simply, it was like adding sugar to gunpowder.
It allowed the hidden weapon to explode instantly due to the lightning; once it erupted in that split second, the toxic needles flying out would carry the power of lightning, significantly enhancing their armor-piercing capability.
After Tang San's explanation, Dugu Bo very cautiously stored the Cluster Soul Chasing Ball in separate locations.
No wonder these two brats dared to come here with me directly; they actually had Master Xiao Yan's hidden weapons, Dugu Bo thought to himself.
Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Xiao Lin knew the old man was once again filling in the blanks about the non-existent "Xiao Yan."
...
After a quick cleanup, Tang San had practically emptied the entire garden of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving behind only the seeds and certain Immortal Herbs that would lose their efficacy if picked.
Then, with Dugu Bo's help, the two of them successfully returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
The Heaven Dou Emperor Team.
Xiao Wu and Tang Ni were currently sparring against each other.
Suddenly, Tang Ni became distracted for a moment, giving Xiao Wu an opening.
Her third Soul Ring flashed, and in an instant, Xiao Wu appeared behind Tang Ni. Lightning gathered in Xiao Wu's hand, condensing into a sharp blade; if Tang Ni didn't dodge, she would surely be seriously injured.
"Xiao Wu, stop playing. It looks like Xiao Lin and the other are back."
As the transformation of an Auspicious Beast, Tang Ni instantly sensed a powerful surge of Destiny approaching.
This familiar scent undoubtedly belonged to Xiao Lin and Tang San.
However, after not seeing him for such a short time, Tang Ni felt that Xiao Lin's Power of Destiny had become even denser, and even the Destiny of Soul Beasts had grown stronger along with it.
Hearing Tang Ni's words, Xiao Wu's pupils trembled.
Relying on her powerful reflexes, she dispersed the lightning. Immediately after, she began looking around frantically, trying to find Tang San.
"Xiao Wu!"
At that moment, Tang San's voice, filled with longing, rang out directly in Xiao Wu's ear. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Third Brother! And Brother Lin!"
In the next second, Xiao Wu lunged toward Tang San and the others.
"Ooh ooh ooh, Third Brother!" Xiao Lin teased instantly in a high-pitched, mocking tone.
However, Xiao Lin soon stopped bothering Tang San and Xiao Wu. He clapped his hands right there on the spot.
This time, he was going to exercise his authority as Captain to gather the team members—and sell some Immortal Herbs to make a fortune.
