Negotiations Succeed

Seeing that Dugu Bo quickly adjusted his mindset, Quan Yi also found Dugu Bo to be a tough opponent.

Clearly, the opponent was on guard against his Right Arm Soul Bone skill, Fury of Hell.

However, it was precisely because of this Soul Skill that Dugu Bo was forced to remain calm.

Seeing that Dugu Bo was finally willing to listen to him, Quan Yi explained his purpose.

"Senior Dugu, I have only one purpose in coming here today, which is to jointly manage this treasure land with Senior Dugu."

"Joint operation?"

Dugu Bo felt as if he had heard a fairy tale, and an absurd feeling flashed through his mind.

Meanwhile, Quan Yi continued explaining his content to himself.

He continued, "From what I understand, Senior Dugu values the Medicine Garden around the spring the most. But I value the spring behind me even more."

Therefore, in essence, our interests are not in conflict, so cooperative operation is the best solution for us rather than conflict.

My suggestion is that you manage the Medicine Garden, and I will utilize the spring water.

"So, this proposal is beneficial to both of us."

Even now, Quan Yi can feel the extremely hot Heaven and Earth Vitality rapidly transforming into his cultivation.

Normally, it would take a whole day of cultivation to advance, but at this moment, his cultivation level was rising rapidly, as if he were on a rocket.

He was determined to get such a valuable location.

Therefore, Quan Yi proposed a win-win cooperation plan.

However, Dugu Bo was not interested in this. He sneered, "Hmph, it's beneficial to both sides, but I think it's only beneficial to you."

This land is clearly my territory. You, the intruder, do nothing but try to occupy it. You've got a very clever plan.

Dugu Bo's eyes grew increasingly cold, and his patience was nearing its limit.

Quan Yi's proposal may seem fair, but it is a robber's agreement.

I'm living peacefully in my home, and you, an intruder, want to move in and freeload off my property. No one can tolerate that, let alone a proud Titled Douluo.

Quan Yi was, of course, prepared for this situation.

He glanced at Dugu Bo green hair and pupils, his gaunt face, and his imposing presence that hadn't changed much compared to three or four years ago.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

He replied, "What you say makes sense, senior. Therefore, I have brought a condition that you may be interested in."

"What are the conditions?"

Quan Yi, "If I'm not mistaken, senior has been poisoned."

Quan Yi's words were like a sharp sword, Sword Thrust the most sensitive part of Dugu Bo's heart.

Ever since Quan Yi escaped, Dugu Bo has been secretly worried that the secret will be exposed.

Now that Quan Yi had pointed this out, Dugu Bo was somewhat dejected.

All of Izumi's weaknesses were known to Quan Yi, yet he had no way to deal with Quan Yi.

However, even in the unfavorable situation, Dugu Bo remained calm and replied in a flat tone, "When it comes to using poison, I am the best in the world. Poisoned? Do you know who you're talking to?"

When he said this, Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with absolute confidence.

When Dugu Bo, who used poison as his weapon and dominated the world of poison, said this, it was indeed convincing.

If Quan Yi hadn't done his homework, he almost would have been fooled by Dugu Bo.

Quan Yi's lips curled into a confident smile as he calmly delivered the final blow to Dugu Bo.

He said, "When it comes to using poison, you are indeed the best in the world. It is hard to imagine anyone being able to poison you."

However, if the poison was inflicted by your own Martial Soul, could you still cure it? The most potent poison in the world must be extremely difficult to cure; otherwise, your cultivation wouldn't have stagnated for so many years.

In Quan Yi's estimation, Dugu Bo's strength was definitely greater than it had been four years ago.

Even though breaking through to the next level Titled Douluo is the most difficult, Dugu Bo has countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to assist him in his cultivation.

Therefore, Quan Yi conservatively estimates that Dugu Bo can break through at least two levels within four years.

However, it has now been discovered that Dugu Bo's strength has not changed significantly.

This further solidified Quan Yi's suspicions.

Dugu Bo fell silent.

In fact, from the moment he saw Quan Yi reveal his true form, he knew that Quan Yi must have absolute confidence to do so.

Quan Yi's few words completely swayed the situation in Quan Yi favor.

Dugu Bo had no solution.

He wasn't confident he could kill Quan Yi in one blow.

Even if he were to throw caution to the wind and try to destroy this place, the first thing he would destroy is the Medicine Garden that he cherishes.

The spring water that Quan Yi values will continuously gush out from the ground.

"Tell me your conditions."

Dugu Bo's tightly closed mouth opened again.

This also signifies that Dugu Bo has begun to accept Quan Yi's proposal.

Seeing Dugu Bo's helplessness and compromise, Quan Yi couldn't feel happy.

Threats and coercion were not his intention.

Out of a sense of compensation, he softened his tone and said, "As I said before, I came here with sincerity. Therefore, my condition is to provide you with ideas and clues to solve the Toxin."

Dugu Bo replied with a laugh, "Do you know how long I've been researching to solve this problem?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the Medicine Garden beside him and said, "Here, the most precious medicinal herbs in the world are gathered."

Any one of these plants would be priceless if placed outside, but even so, I have no way to deal with my own poison.

"You're just a young upstart, trying to negotiate with me without any proof. Isn't that going too far?"

The arrogant Dugu Bo showed no interest whatsoever in the ideas and clues proposed by Quan Yi.

Because he didn't believe that Quan Yi could come up with any meaningful solutions.

This pushed Dugu Bo's barely suppressed anger to the point of eruption once again.

Seeing Dugu Bo's angry expression, Quan Yi felt increasingly pressured.

However, Quan Yi maintained a calm demeanor on the surface and replied steadily, "Indeed, I have no knowledge of poison techniques or medical skills. However, as the saying goes, there is no shortcut. I can provide you with my deductions. If you study the methods and clues I provide, there is a greater than 50% chance that you can resolve the Toxin."

Seeing Quan Yi's resolute expression, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

If Quan Yi can come up with an effective solution, then not only he, but also his granddaughter will be able to get rid of the poison's Curse.

For the sake of his granddaughter, Dugu Bo decided to believe Quan Yi again.

Moreover, if Quan Yi's method doesn't work, he can immediately turn on him.

Overall, this isn't a bad condition for him.

Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Fine, I agree to your conditions."

However, let me make this clear from the start: if I find out you're lying to me, I won't let you off easily.

Seeing that Dugu Bo agreed, Quan Yi was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Okay, senior, don't worry, the conditions I proposed will not disappoint you."

However, just to be on the safe side, let's swear an oath using our Martial Soul first.

Seeing the impeccable Quan Yi, Dugu Bo helplessly raised his right hand and swore an oath with his Martial Soul.

The two concluded their oath-taking ceremony, marking the successful end of the negotiations.
