Drawing Cards from the Douluo World

It seemed that Dai Weisi might have made a killing, but Dugu Bo had definitely not gotten the short end of the stick.

As for treating Dugu Yan, that came at a different price.

Dai Weisi knew very well that Dugu Bo, that vicious old poisoner, valued his granddaughter's safety above all else. So even though treating Dugu Yan would be less difficult, Dai Weisi's asking price was even harsher.

He wanted the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Yes, that included the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Dai Weisi wanted the entire treasure land as well.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Planting spiritual medicines around it could yield tenfold or even hundredfold returns, while cultivating nearby would achieve twice the result with half the effort. No matter how one looked at it, there was absolutely no reason for Dai Weisi to give up such a treasure land.

Though Dai Weisi's price was steep, it was ultimately still within Dugu Bo's acceptable range.

Not to mention that Dai Weisi had promised to help Dugu Yan strengthen her Martial Soul to a certain extent. That was something that could benefit his granddaughter for the rest of her life.

With the deal struck, Dai Weisi rose to his feet and extended a hand to Dugu Bo.

"Then, Mr. Dugu, welcome to the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce."

Seeing Dai Weisi shake hands with him without the slightest concern for him as a master poisoner, Dugu Bo inexplicably gained a little more confidence that Dai Weisi could cure both him and his granddaughter.

But his words remained as unyielding as ever.

"Hmph! Talk after you've actually cured me!"

Dai Weisi did not mind Dugu Bo's pride in the slightest. He was always more tolerant toward capable people.

For Dugu Bo's treatment, Dai Weisi chose the area beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well he had just acquired.

The treatment required him to operate the Complete True Heart Method at full power. In a place rich in spiritual energy, the Soul Power within Dai Weisi's body could recover much faster.

Dugu Bo naturally had no objections. In any case, he had already promised away this treasure land. Whether he handed it over a few days earlier or later made little difference to him.

This time, Dugu Bo personally opened the poison formation surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, welcoming Dai Weisi and Li Fu inside.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well truly deserved to be called the greatest treasure land on the Douluo Continent. The moment he entered, the Complete True Heart Method constantly circulating within Dai Weisi's body suddenly seemed to be on steroids, and its rate of absorbing spiritual energy instantly more than tripled...

Moreover, once Dai Weisi actively operated the technique, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy could increase several times further.

As Soul Power surged through him, Dai Weisi suddenly felt something. He only had time to apologize to Dugu Bo with a quick, "Please wait," before immediately sitting down cross-legged.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar rang out, and the sight that appeared the next moment completely overturned Dugu Bo's understanding.

The Golden-Pattern White Tiger Martial Soul, somewhat different from that of the Star Luo Empire's Dai Family, was not all that outrageous. During their previous conversation, Dugu Bo had roughly guessed Dai Weisi's identity, and Martial Soul mutations and evolutions were not uncommon on the Douluo Continent.

But what was with those yellow, purple, purple, black, and black Soul Rings?

As far as Dugu Bo knew, this boy had only just turned thirteen, hadn't he?

No wonder even a Titled Douluo had to follow his lead.

If I had a descendant like that, I'd let him do whatever he wanted too.

Thinking this, Dugu Bo had completely failed to consider that Li Fu, a Titled Douluo, had also become one through Dai Weisi's methods.

As Dai Weisi sat down to cultivate, the two cultivation methods within him—the Complete True Heart Method for cultivating Soul Power and the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Shield for tempering the body—both advanced by leaps and bounds under the stimulation of the incomparably dense spiritual energy.

After just one major circulation, the Complete True Heart Method, which had remained at the fifth level for a long time, broke through to the sixth level in one burst.

The Complete True Heart Method had seven levels in total. Once Dai Weisi cultivated its seventh level to perfection, he could switch to the top-tier internal cultivation art from the Golden-series game world—the Innate Skill!

By then, not only would Dai Weisi's Soul Power cultivation speed greatly increase, but his Soul Power, refined to the utmost degree, would also grant him even greater destructive power.

As for the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Shield, this body-tempering martial art had likewise reached the sixth stage when Dai Weisi broke through to the Soul King realm. Now, struck by this dense spiritual energy, it broke through several bottlenecks in one go and reached the seventh stage.

Dai Weisi's natural bodily defense was now equivalent to that of a Soul Emperor with a top-tier Soul Ring configuration and the Armored Rhinoceros Martial Soul, a pure defense-type Martial Soul, after Martial Soul Possession.

The eighth stage was equivalent to a pure defense-type Soul Sage, while the ninth and tenth stages were equivalent to a pure defense-type Soul Douluo.

The eleventh stage was already equivalent to a pure defense-type Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level, while the twelfth stage corresponded to a Super Douluo above level ninety-five.

If he could reach the thirteenth stage of Great Perfection, he would be equivalent to a terrifying level ninety-nine pure defense-type Soul Master.

Beyond that was no longer something the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Shield could achieve. Dai Weisi would likely need to forge a new path in body tempering before he could reach the realm of gods in that aspect.

Even so, in terms of the potential of cultivation methods alone, even the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Shield surpassed the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Tang San took such pride in.

After all, the Mysterious Heaven Skill could no longer bring Tang San any further advantages after he became a Titled Douluo.

As for the Mysterious Heaven Skill Tang San still used after becoming a God King, it had already strayed far from the path of the original version. It could only be called a heavily modified version created by God King Tang San himself.

After consecutively completing breakthroughs in both cultivation methods, Dai Weisi slowly opened his eyes.

He rose to his feet and, facing Dugu Bo's monster-like gaze, smiled and said...

"Mr. Dugu, the cultivation method I practice just made some progress. Our poison-cleansing process should go even more smoothly in a while."

Dugu Bo no longer had any doubts about Dai Weisi.

In his eyes, for a monster like Dai Weisi, accomplishing anything was only natural.

Dai Weisi's treatment process for Dugu Bo was largely similar to the one Tang San had used in the original timeline. Dugu Bo prepared a Soul Bone, then used pure Soul Power to force the toxins accumulated in his body into that Soul Bone.

However, with profound Daoist mystical arts within him, Dai Weisi found detoxifying Dugu Bo much easier than Tang San had.

Even though Dai Weisi did not understand poisons, the high-level Complete True Heart Method was far more powerful in its use of internal energy than the half-baked Mysterious Heaven Skill Tang San had used to cleanse Dugu Bo's poisons.

Tang San had required the help of two immortal herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, to cleanse Dugu Bo's poisons. But with Dai Weisi's control over internal energy, he could directly strip those toxins from within Dugu Bo's body and force them into the Soul Bone.

There were no mishaps during the detoxification process.

Because of Dai Weisi's breakthrough in the Complete True Heart Method, the detoxification process, which had originally been planned to take four or five sessions, could now be completed in just two.

After two poison-cleansing sessions a week apart, Dugu Bo delightedly discovered that the bone-eroding toxins throughout his body had been completely absorbed by the Soul Bone in his left arm.

The illness that had tormented Dugu Bo for decades vanished in a single day. Feeling light all over, Dugu Bo naturally broke through to level ninety-two Soul Power, fulfilling Dai Weisi's earlier promise to him.

More than that, when the Soul Bone that had absorbed the toxins throughout his body unleashed its original offensive Soul Bone Skill, it now carried potent Bipilin Snake Poison as well, greatly increasing its threat.

Most importantly, if he could be cured, that meant his granddaughter Dugu Yan could be saved too!

With four joyous events arriving at once, even someone as gloomy and reserved as Dugu Bo could not help letting out several long howls before barely venting the exhilaration in his heart.

Dai Weisi had displayed his sincerity without hesitation, while Dugu Bo was in truth a man who kept his promises. This could be seen from his wager with Tang San in the original timeline.

Thus, he immediately bowed to Dai Weisi.

"First Prince, for the next hundred years, this old man and all his abilities shall be at your command!"
