Capítulo 33: Chapter 33
"What do you mean? Are you going to exchange it or not?" Dugu Bo spoke calmly, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Of course, we'll exchange it! Not just the Immortal Herb Record and the prescriptions, but also the forbidden poisons of our Po Yi clan. We can offer anything we have in exchange with you."
Yang Wudi looked desperate, as if he would kneel and kowtow if he couldn't secure the exchange.
"Oh, I'm not interested in your head. Go prepare the items, and I'll take them once you're done. Here, take this flower," Dugu Bo said dismissively, tossing the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb to Yang Wudi.
Yang Wudi carefully received the fragrant and beautiful herb, inhaling its aroma with a trembling body and tears in his eyes.
Dugu Bo, feeling a bit exasperated, shouted, "Hurry up and get my things ready. You'll have plenty of time to admire that flower after I leave."
"Ah? Oh, right, I'll go prepare everything immediately. Your Majesty, please wait a moment," Yang Wudi stammered before rushing out to gather the family's secret poisons, immortal herb records, and prescription rubbings into a storage soul guide ring.
About an hour later, Yang Wudi handed the sorted items to Dugu Bo. Trusting that this desperate man wouldn't deceive him, Dugu Bo left without looking back.
"Your Majesty, take care, Senior!" Yang Wudi called after him, genuinely grateful. In his heart, he wanted to kowtow to Dugu Bo, seeing him as his destined benefactor.
"Hahaha! With the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, what poison would I not dare to refine? I must quickly concoct a medicine to resolve the hidden dangers in my body caused by years of refining. I'll strive to break through to Soul Douluo within three years. With the Immortal Herb and the treasures we acquired recently, I'll see how the Spirit Hall dares to bully us then," Yang Wudi thought as he hurried into the alchemy room to begin a long period of refining.
On the other side, Dugu Bo found a quiet place to stay and began studying the Record of Immortal Herbs.
"Lovesickness Broken Heart Red, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, Eight-Angled Black Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot Delicate Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Bone, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Mixed Primordial Immortal Grass, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Beautiful Tulip, Black Jade Magic Bamboo, Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma..."
As he read through the list, Dugu Bo marveled at the many magical herbs with their varied uses. The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd caught his eye, as it seemed particularly suitable for both him and Yanyan. Luo Chen had mentioned that two mature Earth Dragon Golden Gourds were available.
"God bless me, Dugu Bo," he mused. "I lost my parents when I was young, my wife in middle age, and my son in old age. Is it possible that my luck has finally turned around? Hahaha, all thanks to that kid, Li Luochen. From now on, I'll consider myself his grandfather. Anyone who tries to bully him will have to get past me first!"
Dugu Bo swore to himself that he would protect Li Luochen at all costs. Not only could the boy help detoxify his family, but he could also enhance their strength. Most importantly, Li Luochen was destined to become his granddaughter's husband, so he was determined to keep him safe.
With this resolve, Dugu Bo began searching through the prescriptions, specifically looking for those that could remove hidden injuries. Both he and Dugu Yan had been exposed to poison for too long, and their bodies needed repair.
As Dugu Bo flipped through the records, he couldn't help but admire the talent of the Po Yi clan. Although their clan leader had his quirks, it was a shame that such a valuable family was abandoned by the Haotian Sect.
Sneering at the thought, Dugu Bo considered that perhaps the Spirit Hall was suppressing the sect, leading to its closure. In his opinion, the Haotian Sect was short-sighted and self-righteous.
After thoroughly reviewing all the information he had gathered from the Po Yi Clan, Dugu Bo felt a newfound understanding of poison. With the memory of a Titled Douluo, he quickly memorized the details.
"So this is how poison can be used? This is what they call mixed poison. I've been too crude in my use of poison until now. Could I also create such complex poisons? If I can, I'll no longer be the weakest Titled Douluo."
With these thoughts, Dugu Bo set out on his journey back to Tiandou City, eager to apply his new knowledge and improve the lives of his family.
After many days, nearly a month, Dugu Bo finally returned to Tiandou City. He went straight to his house, where he found Dugu Yan and Li Luochen reading books—specifically, his notes on drug-making.
Originally, Dugu Yan didn't enjoy studying these topics, but Li Luochen's enthusiasm was contagious. Wanting to learn more skills and open new paths, Li Luochen kept reading Dugu Bo's poison refining notes, and Dugu Yan couldn't help but join him.
"Ahem," Dugu Bo coughed lightly to announce his presence.
"Ah! Grandpa's back!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, rushing to hug him. She hadn't seen him for nearly a month and had missed him dearly.
"Grandpa Dugu, welcome back. Judging by your expression, it looks like you've gained a lot," Li Luochen remarked with a smile. Dugu Bo was indeed in high spirits. His once-gray hair had turned black, a sign that the residual poison in his body was no longer affecting his vitality.
"Hahaha, I've indeed gained a lot this time. Luo Chen, the place you pointed me to was a treasure trove. The Po Yi clan's expertise in medicine-making is truly unparalleled. Even I can't match them. I obtained the Immortal Herb Record and even their unique core poison."
Dugu Bo recounted his experiences in the Xingluo Empire, his understanding of poison refining deepening. Poison was his primary defense, and now, with the Po Yi Clan's mixed poisons, his offensive capabilities were greatly enhanced (Juhuaguan: Danger!!!).
"Grandpa Dugu, let's head to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire first, and bring the wooden barrel. Both you and Yanzi have been poisoned for years, so there are bound to be residual toxins and hidden injuries in your bodies. Let's get rid of these first, then we can take the magic herbs," Li Luochen suggested.
Dugu Bo agreed, understanding that the final stage of detoxification was crucial for evolving their martial souls. Properly using the Immortal Grass would ensure that the Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul would no longer hold them back.
After instructing the butler, Wang, to look after the mansion (Wang: I understand, I'm the only one looking after the house), Dugu Bo took Li Luochen and Dugu Yan back to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
More than a month had passed since their last visit, and Li Luochen was excited to return. This time, he was well-prepared. With the Immortal Grass Record in hand, he was ready to significantly strengthen himself and those he cared about.
