The Perfect Detoxification Method! Saving the Entire Dugu Family!

Faced with Bibi Dong's barbed remarks, Dugu Bo could only hurriedly explain himself, embarrassed:

"Ahem, Your Holiness, you jest."

"Had I known you were coming, I would never have behaved so presumptuously."

"This is a Herb Garden I discovered and took control of long ago. It contains many herbs, and with the strange poison formation outside, it's only natural that Your Holiness would be curious enough to take a look."

"Er, fate truly brought us together today. I..."

Dugu Bo knew he had already offended Bibi Dong somewhat and could hardly do much else, so he could only start with a few pleasantries, hoping she would let it pass.

But he had not had many dealings with Bibi Dong, and he truly did not know what to say.

Fortunately, Bibi Dong had a clear purpose and spoke directly:

"If it's the Poison Douluo's Herb Garden, then I'm even more interested."

"Although I brought people here by chance, I've also seen that herbs flourish in this treasured place."

"As it happens, I'm looking for precious medicinal herbs to help my two disciples cultivate. Would you be willing to sell this place, Poison Douluo?"

"If it's something I can give, I won't be stingy."

She could naturally see that Dugu Bo's strength fell short, and she could also see how wondrous the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was, so Bibi Dong came straight to the point, unwilling to let it slip away.

But her words left Dugu Bo feeling helpless. He did not want to sell, yet he feared the Spirit Hall's power.

With no other choice, Dugu Bo could only answer tactfully:

"If Your Holiness wishes to use them, it would be only proper for me to offer you a few herbs from this place myself."

"But this Herb Garden and I are already bound together. I've loved medicinal herbs since childhood, so selling the entire garden would not be very appropriate..."

"Why not pick whichever herbs you like, as a token of my respect for the Spirit Hall?"

This was the greatest concession Dugu Bo could make. After all, he needed more than just these herbs.

Though he did not recognize these immortal herbs and did not dare consume them at all,

the energy in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could suppress his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison. His life depended on it, so how could he dare sell it?

After speaking, Dugu Bo watched Bibi Dong anxiously, afraid of provoking her.

Sure enough, no sooner had he finished than displeasure appeared on Bibi Dong's face, and she began considering the use of force.

At the critical moment, Liang Hao stepped forward and intervened. "Teacher, let me handle this."

"You?" Bibi Dong was surprised.

Liang Hao nodded and approached Dugu Bo of his own accord. "I've long heard that Senior Dugu's mastery of poison is unrivaled. Now that I've met you, you're indeed extraordinary."

"Your mastery of poison runs so deep that you've even poisoned yourself to such an extent. That is rare indeed."

"But as I see it, Senior Dugu must also be suffering from the poison in his body, finding it hard to endure, right?"

"Why don't we make a deal? I have a way to cure Senior Dugu's poison and treat you. Would you exchange your life for this Herb Garden?"

Because he was familiar with how things would unfold and had the Medicine Codex to rely on, Liang Hao likewise came straight to the point without beating around the bush.

One of the cheats he had brought into this instance was the Medicine Codex, which covered all the medicinal pills and herbs under heaven. It contained a method for perfectly curing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

He did not even need to find a Soul Bone to help Dugu Bo and the others detoxify, as Tang San had in the original story.

That should make it even more fitting for him to obtain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in exchange.

But while Liang Hao was calm and composed, Dugu Bo was utterly shocked by what he heard.

Dugu Bo could never have imagined that this unknown little brat knew about the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison afflicting him, which he had hidden for many years.

He was immediately taken aback, but he dared not admit it. "Y-you, what poison are you talking about?"

"You're the Pope's disciple? How can you falsely accuse me of being poisoned for no reason?"

After saying this, he even made a point of looking at Bibi Dong, afraid that she had put him up to it.

But Bibi Dong was just as surprised. She had not expected Liang Hao to say such things.

Bibi Dong frowned and thought, What is Xiao Hao talking about?

What poison? Isn't this fellow the Poison Douluo? Could he really have poisoned himself?

And judging by Dugu Bo's reaction, could it be true?

Bibi Dong was even more confused. Unable to respond to Dugu Bo, she could only look at Liang Hao as well.

Liang Hao had anticipated this and calmly explained:

"Senior, my name is Liang Hao. I'm Teacher's youngest disciple."

"When I was young, I read a medical text that studied herbs and pill refinement in great depth. Of course, it also covered poisons."

"The symptoms of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison are obvious. I could recognize them at a glance, so I know that you must have suffered from your own Martial Soul's poison for many years."

"But you can rest assured, Senior. Since I know how to identify poison, I naturally know how to cure it too."

"As long as you're willing to exchange this Herb Garden, I can refine a special pill to cure your poison without any side effects."

"Even if you have family or friends who are also affected by the serpent poison, I can cure them all."

"So, when I say your life and your family and friends' lives in exchange for the Herb Garden, you wouldn't be losing out, would you?"

"What? This..."

Listening to Liang Hao, Dugu Bo was even more surprised that the boy spoke so decisively, as if he truly knew what he was talking about.

And since Liang Hao was clearly Bibi Dong's disciple, it was even harder for him not to believe him.

As the disciple of the person publicly acknowledged as the strongest in the world, would he really need to deceive a Titled Douluo as pathetic as Dugu Bo?

By now, Bibi Dong had also understood that Xiao Hao intended to obtain the Herb Garden this way.

Bibi Dong quickly played along, putting on an air of complete confidence that left Dugu Bo utterly stunned.

No matter how much Dugu Bo doubted, he did not dare doubt a representative of the Spirit Hall.

Astonished, he looked at Liang Hao and asked, "Is everything you said true?"

"Boy, can you really cure me and my family of the poison, without any side effects?"

Liang Hao nodded obediently. "I guarantee there will be no side effects, and I can even take your poison skills to the next level, Senior!"

"This... I..." Dugu Bo was somewhat at a loss.

After the repeated assurances, he understood that he had probably struck incredible luck today, truly meeting a benefactor he might never encounter in a lifetime.

As long as he and his granddaughter could be cured, forget the Herb Garden—he would even give this person the rest of his life.

Dugu Bo hurriedly swallowed, doing his best to accept this wonderful reality.

He studied Liang Hao and Bibi Dong a few more times, and seeing their proud bearing, he knew it could be done.

As for the Herb Garden, why the hell would Dugu Bo still want it?

Even if he gave them the Herb Garden, would they live long enough to hold on to it?

He had picked up this Herb Garden for nothing in the first place. It had been born of heaven and nurtured by earth; he had merely arrived early.

Trading something he had picked up for nothing for his life and his granddaughter's was an enormous bargain!

Having made his decision, Dugu Bo drew a sharp breath and answered, "All right!"

"If what you say is true, boy, then what does it matter if I give you the Herb Garden?"

"But I also promise that if you deceive me, or even harm me and my family, and something happens to them, I'll stake my life fighting you!"

"And the Herb Garden will only be handed over after my family and I have been cured! Otherwise, I can destroy it!"

He probably believed them, but he did not dare rely entirely on them.

So Dugu Bo wanted to make a few threats, if only to protect his own interests a little.
