Gaining More Attribute Points

Ye Feng took in Dugu Bo's expression and saw through the little schemes in his heart. Smiling, he said, "Senior, there's no need for you to be hostile toward us. I already said that after eating two of your Immortal Herbs, we'll give you a gift that will satisfy you."

"A gift?"

Dugu Bo froze for a moment, reined in the surging Soul Power around him, and asked in astonishment, "Are you saying you have a way to cure my poison?"

"No." Ye Feng shook his head.

"Then aren't you just talking nonsense?" Dugu Bo snapped coldly.

"Disciple, there's no need to waste words with him. He's merely a level ninety-two Titled Douluo; I don't regard him highly. Come, Dugu Bo, spar with me." Sword Saint Chen Xin cut in.

"Sword Saint Chen Xin, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Dugu Bo stomped his foot, and nine soul rings appeared beneath him: two yellow, two purple, and five black.

The atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense, and battle could erupt at any moment. Sword Saint Chen Xin had also summoned his Seven Kill Sword martial soul.

Whoosh

Ye Feng stomped his foot and dashed between Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

"Master, don't be impulsive. Senior, please don't misunderstand."

Ye Feng hurriedly spoke up to calm Sword Saint Chen Xin and Old Poison Dugu Bo. His gaze fell on Dugu Bo as he explained, "Senior, you are a Titled Douluo whose title is Poison. Your entire body is filled with poison. If someone cured your poison and purged all the toxins from your body, wouldn't that be equivalent to taking your life?"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo pondered for a moment. Though Ye Feng was very young, everything he said made sense. Setting aside his prejudice over Ye Feng's age for the time being, he asked, "Then what do you mean?"

With a serious expression, Ye Feng continued, "Once the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot we consumed entered our bodies, they essentially formed a small Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within us. There are two ways to resolve your problem. One is for you to eat these two Immortal Herbs and use your powerful Soul Power to absorb their medicinal effects. But at the same time, all your poison arts will be dissolved as well. You definitely wouldn't want that, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded. He had worked so hard to become a Titled Douluo. If he lost his poison arts, wouldn't that mean the greater half of his life had been wasted? Dugu Bo looked at Ye Feng and asked curiously, "Then what is the second method?"

Ye Feng continued, "The second method is relatively simple. What you cultivate is poison arts. It is only because your martial soul is a beast martial soul that the poison has fused with your body. Although your Soul Power can mobilize and suppress it, the human body is ultimately not suited for something like poison. If you want to cultivate poison arts without being harmed by poison, you only need to find something that can store your poison. When you need to use it, simply take it back out. This container for storing your poison can be your six soul bones, an External Soul Bone, or even your own weapon martial soul."

A flash of insight crossed Dugu Bo's mind, and he suddenly understood, as though clouds had parted before him. He exclaimed in surprise, "You mean I should force the poison within my body into my soul bones, so it won't harm me?"

"Yes."

Ye Feng nodded and said with a smile, "However, compared to the first method, while the second can preserve all your poison arts, it will take a long time."

Dugu Bo pondered for a while and fell into deep thought, his gaze fixed on Ye Feng. He simply could not imagine such words coming from a six-year-old child.

Ye Feng spoke with clear reasoning, and Dugu Bo felt that his words made a great deal of sense. It was truly worth trying.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dugu Bo noticed Sword Saint Chen Xin. Recalling that Sword Saint Chen Xin had called Ye Feng his disciple earlier, he asked, "Did he tell you all this?"

Ye Feng glanced at his master, Sword Saint Chen Xin, then shook his head. "My master didn't tell me these things. A beggar named Tang Jia San Shao told me."

"Tang Jia San Shao?"

Dugu Bo froze, murmuring the name Ye Feng had mentioned as he sank into thought. Doubtfully, he asked, "Though I dare not claim to know the names of every soul master in the world, I have never heard of a soul master called Tang Jia San Shao. Is he really a beggar?"

Ye Feng rubbed his nostril with his index finger and answered awkwardly, "Well... I don't know. He stayed in my village for a while. I gave him a steamed bun to eat, and he told me these things. He also told me many, many stories."

Stroking his beard, Dugu Bo thoughtfully concluded, "So he is a reclusive master?"

Ye Feng smiled. "Who knows? Maybe."

Dugu Bo turned toward Ye Feng, and the look in his eyes became much friendlier. "Little monster, you've done me such a great favor. Tell me, what benefit do you want?"

Ye Feng smiled and pointed toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot on the shore. "Senior, haven't I already received a benefit?"

Without hesitation, Dugu Bo shook his head. "You enlightened me just now and saved my life. A life-saving debt cannot be repaid. I, Dugu Bo, am not an ungrateful man. Speak. Apart from those two Immortal Herbs, what else do you want?"

"This..."

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and swept his gaze across the Herb Garden. There were many Immortal Herbs here, and some of them would be immensely beneficial to his current cultivation. Smiling, he said, "If you truly feel bad about it, then let me pick some medicinal herbs here."

"Fine."

Without even thinking, Dugu Bo readily agreed. "Take whatever medicinal herbs you want from this Herb Garden."

Ten minutes later, Dugu Bo regretted it. There were more than a dozen Immortal Herbs in front of Ye Feng. That meant every Immortal Herb in the Herb Garden had been taken by Ye Feng, leaving only some herbs that could merely be considered high-grade.

Looking at the dozen or so Immortal Herbs before Ye Feng, Dugu Bo's heart ached terribly. The corners of his mouth twitched several times in pain.

Ye Feng noticed Dugu Bo's gaze and pointed toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot on the shore. "Senior, those Immortal Herbs can be left to you. As long as they are consumed together, along with the suppression of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they can strengthen one's body and allow one to obtain soul rings with higher age limits. They will also grant the consumer Ice Immunity and Fire Immunity."

"What? Ice Immunity? Fire Immunity?"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened. The image of his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, surfaced in his mind. If what Ye Feng said was true, wouldn't his granddaughter Dugu Yan be able to gain Ice Immunity and Fire Immunity?

"Ye Feng, aren't you going to cultivate?"

Xiao Wu's voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Feng froze. He had nearly forgotten Xiao Wu was there.

Xiao Wu's voice drew Dugu Bo's attention.

Dugu Bo's eyes widened again. He stared at Xiao Wu in astonishment and cried out, "She is... a Soul Beast???"

"Ding dong!"

At this point, the system's voice also sounded in Ye Feng's mind.

"Congratulations. You have overturned the story line of Douluo. You told Dugu Bo how to treat his poison affliction and seized many Immortal Herbs that were originally meant for Tang San ahead of time. Reward: 180 distributable Attribute Points."
