In the backyard.

Lu Ming wore the mask of King Lanling, covering most of his face and revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

This mask not only added a bit of mystery but was also meant to complement his current "expert" persona.

When Dugu Bo entered the courtyard with Dugu Yan, they saw a young man wearing a mask with an extraordinary demeanor.

Beside the young man, the legendary Miracle Healer Girl was sitting on a strange flying device, curiously observing them.

"Mr. Dugu, I've heard much about you."

Lu Ming's voice came through the mask, carrying a special metallic quality.

Dugu Bo did not dare to be presumptuous and quickly returned the greeting.

"Dean Lu is too kind. I am here today with a request."

He did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Last time your academy sparred with the Imperial Dou Team, I watched from the sidelines."

"The treatment soul skill of this young lady opened my eyes."

"To be frank, my granddaughter is poisoned. This poison is caused by a Martial Soul backlash and has penetrated deep into her bones."

"I wish to ask this young lady to see if she can cure Yan Yan."

Dugu Yan stood to the side. Although she felt unwell, her dark green eyes were fixed on Cai Wenji.

She's too young.

She looked like a child of about ten years old.

Even if her soul power reached level fifty, she would only be a Soul King.

How could there be a Soul King in this world who could resolve a poison that even a Titled Douluo couldn't?

"Grandpa, I think we should forget it."

Dugu Yan tugged at Dugu Bo's sleeve, feeling a bit dejected.

"Let's not waste our time here."

"If even you can't cure it, how could she..."

Before she could finish, Cai Wenji suddenly propelled the Hu Jia Qin seat to float in front of Dugu Yan.

"Big sister, you smell so bad."

Cai Wenji pinched her little nose and said with a look of disgust.

"It's all that green poisonous gas, it's almost blackened your internal organs."

Dugu Yan's expression changed, and just as she was about to lash out, she was held down tightly by Dugu Bo.

A sharp light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

This little girl could actually see the situation of the poison corroding her internal organs at a glance!

This was something that even those healing-type Soul Douluo needed to carefully investigate to discover!

"Little girl, do you have a way to cure it?"

Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.

Cai Wenji tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded, her two hair buns bobbing.

"I can cure it."

"As long as these green gases are driven away, and then the big sister's body is replenished."

"It's very simple."

Very simple?

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison that had troubled the Dugu family for generations and taken the lives of countless clan members was described as "very simple" by this little girl?

Lu Ming interjected at the opportune moment.

"Mr. Dugu, since Cai Wenji says she can cure it, she definitely can."

"However..."

Lu Ming's tone shifted, and a hint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes behind the mask.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

"Jixia Academy charges a consultation fee when they save someone."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and said with great magnanimity:

"As long as Yan Yan can be cured, Dean Lu, please name your price!"

"Whether it's Gold Soul Coins or Soul Bones, as long as this old man has them, I will not be stingy!"

In his opinion, as long as his granddaughter's life could be saved, he would not hesitate to go bankrupt.

Lu Ming shook his head and extended a finger.

"I don't want money, nor do I want spirit bones."

"I want the medicinal garden in your Sunset Forest."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Dugu Bo's face instantly froze.

His originally hearty demeanor vanished without a trace, replaced by deep vigilance and killing intent.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

That was his greatest secret, and the foundation of his cultivation!

Besides him and Yan Yan, absolutely no third person knew about that place.

How did this Lu Ming know?

"Dean Lu, I don't know what you're talking about."

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, his spirit power beginning to circulate secretly.

"The Sunset Forest is a place where spirit beasts gather. Although I have a foothold there, I've never heard of any medicinal garden."

Lu Ming looked at Dugu Bo, who was feigning ignorance, and chuckled.

"Mr. Dugu, let's speak plainly."

"That place has a spring with two-colored water, extremely hot and extremely cold, surrounded by strange flowers and exotic herbs."

"If it weren't for that place suppressing the toxins within you, you probably would have died from poisoning long ago, wouldn't you?"

Dugu Bo felt his scalp tingle.

He even knew the appearance of the spring water clearly!

This wasn't a negotiation; it was like being stripped bare.

But for his granddaughter, he had to concede.

"Fine!"

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word from between them.

"As long as you can cure Yan Yan, that place... is yours!"

He agreed readily, but his mind was already scheming.

Hmph, let you cure her first.

After Yan Yan is cured, I'll renege on my promise.

You, a slightly more powerful youngster, can't possibly try to snatch territory from a Titled Douluo like me, can you?

As long as I deny it, what can you do to me?

Lu Ming seemed completely oblivious to Dugu Bo's thoughts and nodded with satisfaction.

"Wenji, begin."

Cai Wenji responded, her ten slender fingers dancing joyfully on the strings.

"Here we go! Ravaging Brain Teaser~"

As a cheerful and energetic melody filled the air, countless green light spots flew out from the Hu Jia Qin, drilling into Dugu Yan's body like sprites.

Under the illumination of the vibrant green light, Dugu Yan felt a warm current instantly spread throughout her body.

The potent toxins that had attached themselves to her bones and internal organs seemed to have met their nemesis, rapidly receding and dissolving.

The chronic pain that had accompanied her for years was vanishing at an astonishing speed.

In its place was an unprecedented sense of lightness and comfort.

In just half an incense stick's time.

When the last note faded, Dugu Yan's originally pale complexion had become rosy and radiant.

Even her hair, which had been a dark purplish-black, had returned to its normal deep purple hue.

"Grandpa! I don't hurt anymore!"

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, excitedly spinning in a circle.

"I feel so light all over, and my soul power circulates without any obstruction!"

Dugu Bo watched this scene, tears streaming down his face.

She was really cured!

The nightmare that had plagued him his entire life had been resolved by this little girl in just a few moments!

He excitedly took Dugu Yan's hand and examined her carefully. After confirming that the toxins had been completely cleared, the ecstasy in his heart was beyond words.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Dugu Bo said "good" three times in a row.

Lu Ming sat in his rocking chair, unhurried, quietly observing the grandfather and granddaughter.

After they had calmed down a bit, he spoke indifferently:

"Since the person is cured, Mr. Dugu, isn't it time to fulfill your promise?"
