The Wonders of the Poison Pill Method

"Little kitty, you can say what you want to say now!"

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, Lu Yuan smiled slightly. He had sent Long Xiaoyao away because he had noticed that Zhu Zhuqing had something to say. Although the girl's expression was calm, her eyes did not lie to him.

She had something to say to herself.

"What exactly was written in the letter that you just had Mad Rhino Douluo send back to the Spirit Hall through Salas to be delivered to Hu Liena?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just asking my senior sister to come secretly and give her an Immortal Herb," Lu Yuan said.

"It's not a big deal. You can just tell Salas to send it back. There's no need to write a letter!" Zhu Zhuqing said with some doubt.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing but remained silent.

"Oh, I see. You don't want Qian Renxue to know that Hu Liena has come to the Heaven Dou Imperial City, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Mad Rhino Douluo is a person of the High Priest. He will definitely relay some of your words to Qian Renxue. If you directly ask Hu Liena to come, Qian Renxue will definitely know. But you don't want them to meet yet because you haven't removed the thorn in Qian Renxue's heart. You are afraid that the two of them will quarrel if they meet."

"But if you send it back by letter, even if Mad Rhino Douluo is bold enough, he won't dare to open it and peek. At most, he will report to Qian Renxue that you gave Hu Liena a letter, but Qian Renxue will not know the contents of the letter, and naturally she will not know that Hu Liena has come to Heaven Dou City."

Zhu Zhuqing, with an expression that said "I know everything," cast a cold gaze at Lu Yuan and asked, "Am I right?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's confident demeanor, Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Little kitty, you've become much smarter after following me for so long!"

What Zhu Zhuqing said was indeed what Lu Yuan was thinking. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red was too precious, and Lu Yuan was worried about sending it back through Salas. So he could only ask Hu Liena to make the trip. Moreover, he could also see Hu Liena again, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Qian Renxue was a bit of a problem, so they had to keep it from her for the time being and have Hu Liena come secretly.

"Hmph, if I didn't become smarter, wouldn't I be completely fooled by you?" Zhu Zhuqing snorted irritably.

"Little kitty, when did I lie to you? Don't wrong an innocent person." Lu Yuan immediately protested.

"Did you promise me and Hu Liena that, apart from certain uncontrollable factors, it would only be the three of us in this lifetime?" Zhu Zhuqing stared straight at Lu Yuan with her big eyes.

"Yes, I'm not lying to you. There are really only the three of you 'people' right now!" Lu Yuan said.

"Dugu Bo kept introducing Dugu Yan to you, saying she didn't dislike you. Did you provoke her?" Zhu Zhuqing questioned.

"Who did I provoke? Dugu Yan? Don't be ridiculous. I did teach her a lesson, but that was a ring match. She was with Yu Tianheng back then. Why would I be interested in someone else's girlfriend? Kitty, you underestimate me." Lu Yuan said.

"Then why did Dugu Bo say that Dugu Yan doesn't dislike you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not bragging, but with my looks and temperament, no woman would dislike me. At least I haven't found a single girl who dislikes me yet. You can't say I flirt with anyone just because I'm charming!"

"Pah, narcissist!" Zhu Zhuqing cursed irritably.

"Hey, little kitty, I've noticed you're getting more and more cocky lately. Did I not win you over last time? You want more now? Okay, I'll grant your wish." Lu Yuan hugged Zhu Zhuqing tightly, lowered his head slightly, and kissed Zhu Zhuqing red lips.

"You bad guy, no!" Zhu Zhu immediately refused, remembering her swollen lips from the last time he kissed her.

However, before Zhu Zhuqing could finish speaking, Lu Yuan silenced her with a kiss.

"Waaah!"

"Is this the Poison Pill Method? It is indeed quite profound!" Long Xiaoyao said softly, looking at Dugu Bo was sitting cross-legged and refining poison pills.

"Yes, this method of cultivating poison pills is indeed a treasure for some poison-attribute Soul Master, and it is of great help!"

Lu Yuan's Double Pupils flashed with an unusual light, and it was clear that Dugu Bo's aura was slowly rising. The green light on his body was concentrated in his dantian, the place where the poison pill was being condensed.

Speaking of which, Dugu Bo also cultivated an inner core, and in the original story, he even fed it to Tang San. As a result, Tang San extracted a lot of benefits from it, allowing him to advance three levels in less than half a year.

However, Dugu Bo's inner core was a bit peculiar. Despite his Martial Soul being the highly poisonous Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, there was absolutely no Martial Soul in his inner core, which was truly strange.

Wouldn't it be better to directly condense the toxins into the inner core?

Not only did it free itself from the threat of the deadly poison, it also enhanced its own strength.

However, upon closer reflection, Lu Yuan felt that it was normal for Dugu Bo not to do so. After all, it was not an easy task to condense all the toxins in one's body into an inner core. Just like the current method of condensing poison pills, without this method, it would be extremely difficult for Dugu Bo to condense poison pills on his own.

"If Dugu Bo succeeds in condensing the poison pill, he should be able to reach level ninety-three," Long Xiaoyao said, estimating Dugu Bo's aura.

"Yes! But this is just the beginning. Once he has mastered the use of the poison pill, his Soul Power will be able to reach level 95 in a few years. After all, the toxins hidden in his body are too astonishing, which will greatly accelerate his cultivation speed after the poison pill is successfully condensed."

"However, it should stop again at level 95, and then the speed will return to a slow pace, because the power of this toxin will eventually run out."

Lu Yuan tapped his chin slightly and said.

"That's normal. For him, this is already great news. If it weren't for the Lord, he wouldn't have lived much longer, and he would never have had the chance to break through to level 95 Super Douluo. The Lord is a great benefactor to him. I hope he can repay the kindness and be loyal to the Lord. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Long Xiaoyao spoke, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"I'm not worried about that. Dugu Bo is a man who values relationships the most. Since he accepted my favor, I'm not afraid that he won't do his best."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "If he still harbors any disloyalty, I will let him know that my things are not so easy to take."

Lu Yuan still trusted Dugu Bo. After all, in the original work, he was indeed a person who kept his promises. Just because he promised Tang San three things, even though Tang San emptied the entire Icefire Yin Yang Well, he had no resentment and still became a guest elder of the Shrek Academy.

Thus, we can see that Dugu Bo's character is generally reliable; although his temper is eccentric, he is absolutely dependable.
