The young old master physician

Dugu Bo remained expressionless and said leisurely, "What, you're upset that I haven't bathed before coming to see you?"

Wu Qi thought to himself: Doesn't he know how stinky he is?

The stench was even worse than the pesticides he had in his previous life. Especially at close range, the smell was suffocating.

"You've been poisoned," Wu Qi said.

Dugu Bo was terrified, but he forced himself to remain calm, "I've spent my whole life dealing with poisons, how could I be poisoned?"

"Don't think that just because I'm being polite to you, you can joke around like that, hmph!"

Wu Qi was still thinking about how to convince Dugu Bo, and this scent gave him a perfect idea.

"I once followed a coroner and examined the body of a poisoned person."

"The stench emanating from the deceased was very similar to that of my predecessor. Especially the blood inside his body, which smelled even worse."

"If you don't believe me, senior, you can rub your finger together to draw some blood and smell it."

Wu Qi added, "Senior possesses the strength of Titled Douluo, so you may not be able to sense the effects of the poison. However, if this continues, as the poison continues to corrode your meridians, problems will inevitably arise in the future."

Even if you are known for your expertise in poisons, it's impossible for you to know every single poison. It's best to be cautious.

Whether he was poisoned or not, doesn't Dugu Bo know the truth in his heart?

But what could he do?

The Dugu Clan has been searching for an antidote for generations, but they still cannot cure the poison of the Martial Soul, to the point that the family has declined to the point that only the grandfather and grandson depend on each other for survival.

"Can this kid really cure poison, or can he just tell that I'm poisoned?"

He had to test the waters, no matter what.

If the poison can truly be cured, the problem that has plagued the Dugu Clan for generations may be solved.

In the future, the family will surely prosper and have many descendants.

"Oh? Then tell me, how can I cure this poison?"

Wu Qi feigned seriousness, "Senior, would you be willing to let me take your pulse?"

He had no real knowledge of pulse diagnosis; he was merely putting on an act to gain Dugu Bo's trust.

Dugu Bo didn't say much, and rested his arm on the table in front of him.

Wu Qi stepped forward, recalling the techniques of the old Chinese medicine doctor from his previous life, and placed his hand on the other person's wrist.

Dugu Bo frowned, pulling Wu Qi's finger to the correct pulse position. "Boy, do you even understand pulse diagnosis? If you're trying to fool me, hmph."

Wu Qi glanced at him. "What's the rush? I don't take pulses every day. It's normal to miss the pulse occasionally. But rest assured, I have a deep understanding of pulse diagnosis. I can tell what poison you've been given with just one finger!"

Dugu Bo was skeptical, but in order to find a cure, he patiently waited.

Wu Qi's expression was unpredictable, and every time he wanted to speak, he hesitated, constantly raising his eyebrows, looking every bit like an old, divine doctor.

Dugu Bo grew increasingly impatient and couldn't help but ask, "Boy, what exactly did you figure out?"

Wu Qi ignored him and continued to focus intently on the pulse.

A moment later, Dugu Bo could no longer bear it, withdrew his arm, and adopted a accusing posture.

Wu Qi pondered for a moment, then said, "This poison did not enter from the outside, but rather originated from within."

Dugu Bo was shocked. Before he could ask any questions, Wu Qi continued, "The Martial Soul is the foundation of a person. Your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is unable to control the poisonous Poison Mist she releases. This is very likely not due to her personal reasons, but rather to her Martial Soul."

"After examining your pulse, I finally understand the problem."

"Although humans and their Martial Soul have a symbiotic relationship, it doesn't mean that the Martial Soul will always 'protect' the Soul Master. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul may be an exception; the Poison Mist inherent in the Martial Soul soul can erode the Soul Master's body."

"Senior, if you don't receive treatment soon, you and your grandson will surely die. Senior is Titled Douluo, perhaps you can suppress the poison, but Dugu Yan cannot."

Before he could continue, Dugu Bo immediately turned hostile, "Kid, don't exaggerate."

The fact that the poison of the Martial Soul harms the user is the biggest secret of the Dugu Clan.

If outsiders find out, the family will surely suffer annihilation.

Seeing that Wu Qi's Talent and intelligence were extraordinary, he adjusted his mindset and started talking to him. If the other party were to casually reveal this matter, then he could not be allowed to live.

Reading more books does have its benefits; at least when you're trying to fool someone, they're less likely to see through your act.

Wu Qi smiled slightly and continued, "Senior, please don't be in a hurry. Let's delve into the underlying logic of the poisoning."

"There is a fundamental difference between weapon Soul Master and beast Soul Master. Beast Martial Soul are connected to the Soul Master's body, and when a spirit master uses Martial Soul, the spirit master and the Martial Soul become one. This theory can be proven after Soul Master acquires their seventh Soul Skill."

"For beast Soul Master, the shattering of their Martial Soul means death. In contrast, weapon Soul Master fight with their Martial Soul detached from their body. Even if their Martial Soul Shattering, the Soul Master will only suffer severe injuries, not be in Goddess of Life danger."

With a god-like perspective, Wu Qi knew that when Yu Xiaogang was helping Tang San hunt for his First Spirit Ring, Luo Sanpao was Mandala Snake. Because of the relationship between Soul Master and their Martial Soul, the poison affected Yu Xiaogang himself.

The information Wu Qi saw at the Spirit Hall seems to further corroborate this theory.

Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

It's clear that the other party has a very solid foundation in the theory of Soul Master.

Perhaps this is the only hope for the Dugu Clan to be reborn.

Wu Qi added, "What I mean is that the connection between Beast Martial Soul and the Soul Master's body is too close. And the Jade Phosphorous Serpent is the best among its Martial Soul; if the toxins it cultivates overflow, it will harm itself."

"Let me give you a counterexample. I know a genius whose Martial Soul is Plant-type Martial Soul, which is classified as a weapon Martial Soul in Soul Master theory. His first Two Soul Rings Soul Ring both highly poisonous, yet he himself did not suffer any harm from the toxins."

"Different Martial Soul manifest differently. Senior, since you haven't used your Martial Soul for a long time, do you feel the effects of the toxins aren't as severe?"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened!

The reason he didn't want to get involved in other people's business was because, without using his Martial Soul in battle, the poison's effects on him weren't as severe.

He only discovered the pattern, but he didn't understand the underlying logic.

After Wu Qi said that, he suddenly realized, "Then tell me, how can I be cured of the poison?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized his mistake and quickly changed his tune, "I almost fell for your trick; how could I possibly be poisoned?"

Wu Qi rolled his eyes at him. "You can fool outsiders, but to those in the know, there's no need for you to hide anything. Don't you want to get rid of the poison?"

Dugu Bo, no longer bothering to hide it, declared defiantly, "Then tell me, how am I supposed to cure this poison? Now that you know such a big secret, if you can't cure me, you know the consequences!"

Wu Qi chuckled to himself.

The other party was desperate and grasped at straws, completely falling into the trap he had set.

"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent is Yin in nature, while tiger-type Soul Beast are purely Yang. Soaking tiger bones in wine can alleviate the symptoms."

Dugu Bo was a highly skilled physician; how could he not know about this?

However, this can only relieve the pain during an attack, and it doesn't solve the underlying problem.
