He possessed a Spirit Bone in his head, and the toxins could be transferred into it for a trial.
"It actually works? How did I not think of this?"
Dugu Bo stood frozen in place, channeling his Jade Phosphorus Snake venom into the Spirit Bone. The toxins within his body truly diminished, and the venom stored inside the Spirit Bone not only caused no harm to his body but could also be mobilized again at any time.
A wave of bitterness surged in his heart; he had only been blindly trying to eliminate the toxins, never considering the option of temporarily transferring them away.
He felt a pang of regret; if he had realized this a dozen years earlier, the Dugu Clan would not have been reduced to just him and Dugu Yan.
"Grandfather... is it, is it really possible?"
Dugu Yan was also stunned, finding the method so simple.
Although Spirit Bones were precious, as long as her grandfather searched with all his might, obtaining a thousand-year Spirit Bone would certainly be no problem.
Seeing Dugu Bo nod, Su Wen suddenly spoke up: "This method is excellent, but a Spirit Bone has a capacity. Once it reaches its limit, there will still be danger."
Dugu Bo suddenly felt like punching him.
He was making his heart race with uncertainty.
Could this brat not just say everything at once?
Dugu Yan's emotions were also on a roller coaster, her eyes burning as she stared at Su Wen.
She had already realized that although Su Wen was younger than her, his knowledge and insight far exceeded his age.
"Everything has a capacity limit and a threshold of endurance, and Spirit Bones are no exception. However, the higher the age of the Spirit Bone, the more toxins it can withstand. Therefore, when absorbing a Spirit Bone, it is best to choose one over ten thousand years old; if you can find a top-tier Spirit Bone, that would be even better."
"Once you have transferred all the toxins into the Spirit Bone, you can then take these antidotes. The toxins in your body will be completely cleared, causing no further harm to your body, and it won't even affect your poison-based cultivation."
Su Wen had already shared everything he knew.
"Thank you!"
While Dugu Bo was still thinking and digesting the information, Dugu Yan whispered to him.
Su Wen shook his head: "This was merely a transaction between me and Senior Dugu. I have fulfilled my end of the agreement, and I only hope that Senior Dugu will also honor it, so there is no need for thanks."
"I will naturally honor it..." Dugu Bo hesitated slightly before asking: "If I were to completely join Spirit Hall, could I obtain a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone?"
Dugu Bo could find a thousand-year Spirit Bone, but that would simply mean slaughtering more lives and Spirit Beasts.
But ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones were extremely rare, even among the Upper Three Sects.
Even if he defected to them, they might not be able to produce one.
Spirit Hall was different; it possessed a foundation spanning ten thousand years.
Besides, this kid was indeed impressive.
As a disciple of the Pope, his talent was beyond question, and he had a handsome appearance; Yanyan could spend more time with him in the future.
"I will have to ask my teacher about that."
"Before that, I remember I also promised you an Immortal Herb."
Chapter 49: This is the Love Continent
"Immortal Herb?"
"Grandfather, what is an Immortal Herb?"
Dugu Yan subconsciously looked at Dugu Bo, but the latter wore an awkward expression.
Dugu Bo knew nothing about Immortal Herbs.
He knew that the two herbs Su Wen had consumed had caused some special changes in his body.
But he didn't know the specifics.
"An Immortal Herb can turn a piece of trash with innate level five, level one, or even level 0.5 spirit power into someone with innate full spirit power and cultivation speed."
Seeing Dugu Bo's embarrassment, Su Wen couldn't help but step in to explain.
Dugu Yan was shocked, and Dugu Bo's eyes widened; he knew Immortal Herbs were powerful, but he hadn't expected them to be this powerful.
According to Su Wen's words, wouldn't every Immortal Herb be able to cultivate a Title Douluo!
"How is this possible... how can there be such a miraculous thing in this world!"
Dugu Yan was skeptical; what Su Wen said was simply unbelievable.
Su Wen did not continue to explain.
He took a box out of his Soul Tool.
Upon opening it, inside lay a flower that was crystalline and snow-white throughout. Each leaf emitted a faint, watery glow, and the overall curved shape of the herb resembled the slender neck of a swan.
"This is called the Snowy Swan Kiss. It contains no toxins itself, but it can amplify toxins a hundred or even a thousand times."
As soon as Su Wen's words fell, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan stood frozen in place.
This tiny little flower actually possessed such a unique ability?!
"Brat... you aren't lying to me, are you?"
Dugu Bo appeared doubtful on the surface, but his heart was already moved. He had witnessed the changes in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well caused by Su Wen with his own eyes; even if it wasn't that exaggerated, it was definitely not to be underestimated.
Su Wen smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you; whether I say it or not is up to me."
"You cannot touch it yet, as it would cause the toxins in your bodies to multiply infinitely. Once you have transferred all the toxins into your Spirit Bones, you can combine it with the Snowy Swan when unleashing your poison attacks. I believe no one on this continent would be able to cure your poison then."
"Of course, it is dangerous for you as well. Therefore, if you wish to use or refine the Snowy Swan, the Spirit Bones you possess must be at least fifty thousand years old. That way, even if you accidentally amplify the toxins within your bodies, the Spirit Bones will be able to withstand it, and you can expel them in time without any danger."
As Su Wen spoke, he closed the box containing the Snowy Swan and, under the longing gazes of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, placed it back into his Soul Tool.
"When you have resolved your own issues, come to me to claim this Immortal Herb."
The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched: "Su Wen, I recall that you should have quite a few Immortal Herbs on you, right?"
He had seen with his own eyes how Su Wen had scoured the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well clean.
Not a single plant was left.
The ground had been turned over entirely, and he had even dug up a giant melon.
"Hehe, Senior Dugu, this is our transaction."
"I said I would give you one Immortal Herb, so I will give you one. My word is gold. Of course, if you join the Spirit Hall, it would be a different story if we were on the same side."
Su Wen's words were clear, and Dugu Bo understood them perfectly.
Dugu Bo was willing to join the Spirit Hall, but only for a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
In other words, without a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, he would turn and leave.
Both sides were still maintaining a relationship based on interests.
Most importantly, there was another point: Dugu Yan's future path might lead her to be with Yu Tianheng.
Could he take an Immortal Herb and let her go off to attack the Spirit Hall with Yu Tianheng?
This was the Love Continent, after all; even if Dugu Bo wanted to stop it, he probably couldn't.
"Hehe... I will stay in Wuhun City for a while. I believe that a massive organization like the Spirit Hall can surely produce a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone."
When Su Wen bid farewell to Dugu Bo, he didn't feel much confidence in his heart.
Bibi Dong regarded Spirit Bones as extremely precious; he had never heard of any Title Douluo from the Elder Hall receiving a Spirit Bone as a reward.
"Su Wen, did that old poison-master not agree?"
On the way back to the Pope Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo noticed Su Wen's expression and let out a cold snort: "It's fine if he didn't agree. We might as well kill him while he's still in Wuhun City."
A hint of anticipation appeared on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face; he would much rather see the man die here than have him join them.
"Elder Ju, let me speak with Teacher first."
Upon reaching the Pope Hall, Su Wen led Hu Liena into the main hall, familiar with the path.
Bibi Dong was sitting on the Pope's chair, handling Spirit Hall affairs as usual.
"You're back!"
Seeing the two of them, the slight worry between Bibi Dong's brows smoothed out.
A smile touched the corners of her eyes: "Go wait for me in the courtyard first. I will come over once I finish handling these."
"Teacher, let's not train today; there is a matter to discuss."
Su Wen stepped forward and told Bibi Dong about the situation with Dugu Bo.
"How did you get involved with Dugu Bo?"
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly.
Su Wen was speechless.
Shouldn't she be focusing on the ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone?
He said casually: "I ran into him by chance when I was obtaining a Spirit Ring with Aunt Ye last time. I saw that he looked a bit abnormal, like he was poisoned..."
"Hehe, so he really was poisoned?"
Bibi Dong looked at him with a chuckle, though she felt a surge of shock inside.
Little Wen was actually able to see even that.
"Teacher, do we have any Spirit Bones?"
Su Wen cut straight to the point.
Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment. Trading a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone for the allegiance of a Title Douluo was indeed a good deal.
However, once this precedent was set, if other Title Douluos came later, they would all expect a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, and the Spirit Hall could not afford such a burden.
Most importantly, what would the other elders think?
As a person in power, Bibi Dong had to consider many factors.
She pondered for a moment, then stood up and vanished from where she stood.
Just as Su Wen and Hu Liena were feeling puzzled, they heard Bibi Dong's voice echoing in their ears: "Go wait for me in the courtyard."
