Immortal Herb Redemption Code: What the Hell Is Ling Tian Sect, Dugu Bo?

Han Yu stepped forward, met Dugu Bo's eyes directly, and spoke in an even tone:

"Senior has been in a bad mood because, half a month ago, every herb in that Poison Array in Sunset Forest was pulled out clean, hasn't he?"

Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted. Terrifying jade-green poison mist and killing intent erupted from his body in an instant:

"Was it you?!"

"Humph!"

Gu Rong snorted coldly. The terrifying Soul Power of a peak Rank 96, faintly carrying the essence of a nascent Soul Core, erupted with a bang.

In an instant, it forcefully suppressed Dugu Bo's killing intent and poison mist back into his body.

"Old Poison, trying to throw your weight around in front of me? You're still too green for that!

Listen honestly while my grandson finishes speaking!"

Dugu Bo let out a muffled groan under the pressure and staggered back two steps. He stared at Gu Rong in horror:

"Your Soul Power... how could it have advanced to such a degree?!"

"That need not concern you, Senior."

Han Yu waved a hand, signaling Gu Rong to withdraw his pressure, then continued speaking to Dugu Bo:

"Those herbs would have been wasted in your hands anyway, since you don't know how to use them.

I came today to give you a great gift."

"A great gift?

You stole this old man's herb garden, and you still have the nerve to claim you're bringing a gift?"

Dugu Bo laughed bitterly in fury, but intimidated by Gu Rong's strength, he did not dare attack again.

"What if this gift could cure the numb, itchy pain in your ribs whenever the weather turned cloudy or rainy, as well as the agony of ten thousand ants gnawing at your heart in the dead of night?"

The corners of Han Yu's lips rose slightly as he calmly spoke.

Immortal Herb Redemption Code successfully used!

The cold smile on Dugu Bo's face instantly froze. As though struck by lightning, he cried out:

"You... how do you know?!"

"I don't just know that the poison cultivation throughout your body has backfired on you and left you gravely ill."

Han Yu's gaze was sharp as he pressed forward step by step.

"I also know that your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, has already been invaded by poison.

If she is not treated, she absolutely will not live past thirty."

"Who exactly are you?!"

Dugu Bo clenched his fists, his voice trembling. His eyes were filled with struggle, horror, and a deeply buried trace of longing.

"My name is Han Yu, Sect Master of Ling Tian Sect."

Han Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his voice firm and resounding.

"Join Ling Tian Sect and become an elder of my sect.

Not only can I completely remove the poison from both you and your granddaughter, I can also teach you a secret method that will take your strength to another level."

Han Yu looked at the stunned Dugu Bo, his tone carrying an unquestionable dominance:

"Submit, and your grandfather-granddaughter pair will be kept safe.

Refuse, and you and Dugu Yan can only wait for death.

Old Poison, choose for yourself."

Dugu Bo stared fixedly at Han Yu, his expression constantly shifting.

The courtyard was deathly silent.

After a long while, Dugu Bo seemed to age ten years in an instant. His tightly clenched fists loosened feebly as he said bitterly:

"As long as you can truly cure the poison in Yanyan's body, what would be wrong with selling this old man's life to you?"

With that, he bowed slightly and lowered his proud head:

"Dugu Bo greets the Sect Master."

"A wise choice."

Han Yu smiled faintly and flicked his hand. A medicinal herb emitting a faint fragrance flew toward him.

"This is a medicinal catalyst to suppress the poison in your body. Take it first.

I will teach you the method to completely remove the poison in detail later."

This herb could only improve Dugu Bo's condition slightly.

It did not even count as treating the symptoms.

Dugu Bo hurriedly caught the herb.

After taking just one sniff, he felt the surging poison in his body settle considerably, and a flash of wild joy immediately appeared in his eyes.

But after carefully putting away the herb, Dugu Bo could not help looking at Gu Rong and Han Yu, his face full of confusion:

"Sect Master, Old Bones, there is something I do not understand.

With Old Bones' status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and with the Sect Master's unfathomable methods,

you would undoubtedly stand above everyone but one person in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Why would you voluntarily leave and establish your own faction outside?"

"Above everyone but one person?"

Gu Rong immediately let out a cold laugh.

"That old fox Ning Fengzhi has nothing but schemes in his head!

His precious daughter, Ning Rongrong, is even more arrogant and overbearing. She doesn't know her own limits, yet she dared give my good grandson attitude!

My grandson, Gu Rong's grandson, is such a peerless genius. How could he endure that kind of nonsense from them?"

Han Yu stood with his hands behind his back and calmly picked up the conversation:

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ultimately belongs to the Ning Family.

They have money, but they do not possess the absolute strength to match it.

Living under another's roof means you can only become a blade in someone else's hand."

Dugu Bo was stunned as he listened, drawing in a sharp breath:

"So, you want to hold the blade yourself?"

"Correct."

Han Yu's gaze was profound, his tone filled with the pride of looking down upon the world.

"What I want is not to live beneath others, but to stand above heaven and earth.

That is why I founded Ling Tian Sect."

Dugu Bo's heart shook violently.

He looked at this young man before him, so young yet so fiercely ambitious.

Then he looked at Gu Rong at the side, whose face was filled with pride and whose strength had soared.

Suddenly, he felt that this forced submission might not be such a bad thing after all.

Though passive, it could bring tangible benefits to himself and his family.

"This old man understands."

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, and his expression became completely respectful.

"Sect Master, what do we do next?"

Han Yu spoke calmly:

"The first step is naturally to completely resolve the Martial Soul backlash affecting you and your granddaughter."

"Please instruct me, Sect Master!"

Dugu Bo's eyes instantly burned with fervor, and even his breathing grew more hurried.

"The poison of your Jade Phosphorous Serpent lineage is an innate lethal poison carried by your Martial Soul, but your bodies are not immune to all poisons."

Han Yu looked at him and struck straight at the heart of the matter.

"To resolve the backlash, you need a 'container' capable of carrying the lethal poison without harming your bodies."

Dugu Bo frowned tightly:

"A container?

What kind of container in this world could withstand this old man's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison?"

"A Soul Bone."

Han Yu spoke two words.

Dugu Bo's entire body jolted. His eyes widened round, as though a bolt of thunder had struck his mind:

"Force the poison into a Soul Bone...

That's right!

How had this old man never thought of that?!"

"You already have a Soul Bone in your body. Tonight, you can try guiding the poison into it.

Combined with the medicinal catalyst I gave you, the pain of the backlash will resolve itself within half a month."

By channeling the poison into the Soul Bone.

It was only a temporary fix, not a permanent cure.

But in the short term.

This method was extremely effective.

Even if the poison filled it to overflowing, it could be released through the use of soul skills.

Once the sect was truly established.

And once Dugu Bo's loyalty was confirmed.

Han Yu could teach Dugu Bo the Soul Core method then; it would not be too late.

Han Yu paused before continuing.

"As for your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, her poisoning is still shallow.

Once she returns, I will personally choose a suitable Soul Bone for her and completely strip away the poison."

"Dugu Bo will never forget the Sect Master's great kindness!"

This time, Dugu Bo bowed deeply with wholehearted sincerity, his voice trembling.

"Go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and bring her back."

Han Yu instructed.
