Tailor-Made

After hearing the auctioneer's introduction, all the guests present either shook their heads or swallowed hard. The Heart-Corroding Poison was simply too overbearing.

Especially for Seven-Ring Spirit Saints, eight-ring Soul Fighting Douluos, and even Titled Douluos, weakening their power and preventing them from ever breaking through again was more unbearable than killing them outright.

Even Dugu Bo in the private box felt deep apprehension.

Although he was a Titled Douluo renowned throughout the land for his poison, he did not dare test the Heart-Corroding Poison.

Below, the auctioneer watched the guests' wary and terrified expressions. He smiled bitterly to himself, yet still forced out a smile and announced loudly:

"Indeed, this Ninety Thousand Year Emerald Poison Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone has the fatal flaw of Heart-Corroding Poison. But Soul Masters are a profession that creates miracles. If someone has a way to resolve the erosion of the Heart-Corroding Poison, then this is an exceptional Spirit Bone!"

"The starting price for this Ninety Thousand Year Emerald Poison Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone is one million Gold Soul Coins. Distinguished guests, you may now place your bids!"

One million Gold Soul Coins was undoubtedly an astronomical price.

But if one million Gold Soul Coins could buy a Ninety Thousand Year Spirit Bone, any top-tier force on Douluo Continent would surely not refuse.

Yet at this moment, the central auction house had fallen into a rare silence.

That was right. A Ninety Thousand Year Right Arm Spirit Bone was indeed worth far more than one million Gold Soul Coins, but if it was a poisonous Spirit Bone that could not be absorbed, no one would spend one million Gold Soul Coins on it.

Even Dugu Bo secretly shook his head, abandoning the thought of purchasing the Emerald Poison Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone.

But just then, a voice came from behind Dugu Bo.

"Second Grandfather, I want to buy this Spirit Bone."

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone in the box turned to look at Dugu Yang.

"Ayang, didn't you hear that? Even an eight-ring Soul Fighting Douluo cannot withstand the Heart-Corroding Poison!"

Dugu Yan's face was full of anxiety, afraid that Dugu Yang had been blinded by the quality of the Spirit Bone.

Dugu Yang did not answer Dugu Yan. Instead, he looked steadily at Dugu Bo.

"Xiaoyang, are you sure? Even I do not dare touch this Heart-Corroding Poison."

Dugu Bo did not directly object, but instead explained the terror of the Heart-Corroding Poison.

"I'm sure!"

Dugu Yang said in a deep voice. Beneath his resolute tone, he could barely suppress his excitement.

The Ninety Thousand Year Emerald Poison Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone before him had practically been tailor-made for him.

A Ninety Thousand Year Giant Dragon Spirit Bone naturally needed no explanation in terms of quality. More precious still was the spirit skill it carried, Poison Burst Technique, which was practically a divine skill for a Poison Soul Master.

Its only flaw was the Heart-Corroding Poison it carried. But for Dugu Yang, that was no longer a flaw—it had become an advantage.

The reason was simple. Other Soul Masters feared the Heart-Corroding Poison, but Dugu Yang did not.

The Heart-Corroding Poison's irreversible weakening effect made even a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo tremble and avoid touching it.

But Dugu Yang had also discovered one unavoidable weakness of the Heart-Corroding Poison.

Time!

The Heart-Corroding Poison required time to take effect.

And Dugu Yang possessed the Poison Body Adaptation. As long as a poison did not kill him instantly, his body would adapt to any other poison.

It could be said that Poison Body Adaptation completely countered the Heart-Corroding Poison.

If Dugu Yang successfully absorbed this Spirit Bone, not only would he avoid turning into a puddle of rotten flesh, but he would gain another deadly poison under his control.

That was why the Heart-Corroding Poison attached to the Spirit Bone was not a flaw for Dugu Yang, but an advantage.

Seeing Dugu Yang answer so firmly, Dugu Bo said no more and directly placed a bid.

Below, seeing that no one had bid for so long, the auctioneer wore an awkward smile and thought to himself, This Spirit Bone is going unsold.

Although he had anticipated this outcome long ago, the thought of it truly failing to sell still left a bitter taste in his heart.

After all, for a high-ranking auctioneer, having an item go unsold was a professional failure.

But just then, the auctioneer saw Box Number Nine light up red. He immediately became excited and shouted:

"The distinguished guest in Box Number Nine has bid one million!"

"Are there any other distinguished guests who wish to raise the bid?"

"One million Gold Soul Coins, going once! One million Gold Soul Coins, going twice! One million Gold Soul Coins, going three times!"

Bang! Bang!

"Sold! This Ninety Thousand Year Emerald Poison Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone goes to the guest in Box Number Nine!"

Compared with before, the auctioneer's pace had noticeably quickened, as though he feared Dugu Bo might regret his decision.

Inside the box, the excited Dugu Yang stood and said to Dugu Bo:

"Second Grandfather, thank you!"

After all, it was one million Gold Soul Coins. Even Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, had paid dearly this time.

However, Dugu Bo remained very calm and waved his hand.

"Xiaoyang, I told you before that no matter what you do, I will support you."

"I only hope that you do not ruin your future over a single Spirit Bone."

Even though Dugu Bo had bought the Spirit Bone for Dugu Yang, he was still somewhat worried.

Dugu Yang nodded firmly and said:

"Don't worry. My future will never be ruined by a Spirit Bone."

Chen Tianli, seated nearby, remained silent, but a tempestuous wave had risen in his heart.

Could the Poison Douluo's grandson really withstand the Heart-Corroding Poison? If that is true, then in another thirty years, Heaven Dou Empire may gain another Poison Douluo...

At that thought, Chen Tianli's eyes darted about as he began considering whether to report this information to those above him.

Afterward, the auction house brought out its final treasure: a Ten Thousand Year Level left leg Spirit Bone.

The Ten Thousand Year left leg Spirit Bone was far inferior in quality to the Ninety Thousand Year Emerald Poison Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone Dugu Yang had just obtained, but bids came one after another, and its final price also surpassed one million Gold Soul Coins.

The reason was simple. This was a normal Spirit Bone, unlike the Emerald Poison Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone, which could lower one's cultivation.

Because Dugu Bo was a super VIP of Heaven Dou Auction House, as soon as the auction ended, a dedicated maid brought over the treasure.

After confirming that everything was correct, Dugu Bo paid the Gold Soul Coins, and the three of them returned to Dugu Mansion with the treasure.

As soon as they returned home, Dugu Bo called Dugu Yang aside.

"Xiaoyang, although I do not know why you dare absorb this Spirit Bone, I assume you must have something to rely on."

"However, I still suggest that you wait until we return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye before absorbing it. I have many precious medicinal herbs there, and the energy of heaven and earth is abundant. If anything goes wrong, I can intervene in time."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yang's heart warmed as he replied:

"Second Grandfather, don't worry. I never intended to absorb this Spirit Bone right away."

Like Dugu Yan, Dugu Yang had only just absorbed his Second Spirit Ring. His Soul Power had surged, and he needed time to stabilize his realm.

Naturally, he would not absorb a Spirit Bone during this period.
