Dugu Bo was also watching Su Ye; or rather, ever since he had stepped through the door, his gaze had not shifted from the young man for even a moment.
Though he showed nothing on the surface, a tempest was already raging within his heart.
He had been somewhat dismissive when his granddaughter first told him that this boy had defeated Yu Tianheng.
After all, Yu Tianheng was hardly some world-shaking, peerless monster; while geniuses capable of defeating him were rare, they were not non-existent.
Yet, seeing him now, he realized just how narrow his previous thoughts had been.
This was no mere genius; this was a monstrous talent the likes of which were rarely seen in this world.
At twelve or thirteen years of age, his soul power had already reached level forty, and both his soul power density and physical constitution were absurdly strong.
Even at his age, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a monster.
Compared to this boy, that so-called heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... no, the two were simply incomparable.
The latter was like a bright moon, while the former was nothing more than a flickering spark of starlight.
In this moment, his belief that this boy could cure the poison within himself and Dugu Yan grew significantly.
Such a monster could never have been cultivated by an ordinary faction.
He must hail from one of those true hidden clans—families with ancient legacies and profound theories—who might actually be capable of resolving the martial soul poison plaguing his family.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo forced a slightly stiff smile onto his aged face: "Little friend, I am Dugu Bo. I heard from Yan that you can resolve the martial soul poison in our family?"
Su Ye was not at all surprised by Dugu Bo's directness.
The man was simply that kind of person, and as it happened, Su Ye did not like to beat around the bush either. He nodded slightly: "If I am not mistaken, Senior's poison..."
As Su Ye continued, Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat with every word.
There was no other reason; everything the boy said was correct, even down to the most obscure details, as if he had installed a diagnostic device inside his body.
To possess such brilliant medical skills at such a young age was truly inconceivable.
Su Ye remained calm in the face of Dugu Bo's shock and the star-struck gazes of the two young women nearby.
Although he had not studied the True Explanation of Pills in great detail, even a mere glimpse of its surface was a dimensional strike against the standards of the Douluo Continent.
It was no exaggeration to say that, excluding the functions of martial souls, he was currently the number one physician and poison master on the Douluo Continent.
Regarding Dugu Bo's condition, even if he didn't remember the exact password for the immortal herbs, a single glance was enough for him to understand everything.
"Little friend is absolutely correct."
Dugu Bo suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded heavily.
Immediately, he straightened his expression, stood up, and bowed slightly to Su Ye: "I implore you to use your miraculous hands to cure the virulent poison in my granddaughter and myself. For this, I am willing to pay any price."
Had it not been for the assumption that Su Ye was a descendant of a hidden clan, he might have already been tempted to seize the boy and force him to provide a cure.
Of course, given his character, if Su Ye truly could cure them, he would not have treated him unfairly.
But now, facing a Su Ye who could provide a cure and possessed such a "background," he truly dared not make a move.
He could only honestly and respectfully request the boy's assistance.
Su Ye was naturally unaware of these thoughts and felt somewhat surprised; since when did this Old Poison become so well-mannered?
"Senior, you are too kind!"
"I am a classmate and friend of Miss Dugu, and you are my elder. Curing the poison is naturally no problem, but..."
Su Ye paused, feigning difficulty: "It is just that your condition is not very optimistic. To cure it, I will require a large quantity of rare medicinal herbs."
Dugu Bo had been somewhat nervous at first; what he feared most right now were words like "just" or "but."
Having finally seen a glimmer of hope, he did not want to be plunged back into despair!
Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Was that all? It was just medicinal herbs.
He might not be able to guarantee much else, but he certainly had enough herbs.
Dugu Bo patted his chest and said confidently: "Little friend, rest assured. I have a medicinal field where rare herbs are, if not everywhere, at least quite abundant. I believe it will be sufficient."
Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in the depths of Su Ye's eyes.
It was here!
Had he not been beating around the bush for so long precisely for this?
Finally, they had reached the main point!
"Good. In that case, there is no time to lose. Let us head to Senior's medicinal field at once."
Seeing Su Ye so prompt and attentive, Dugu Bo also smiled, looking at him with increasing satisfaction.
Not bad, truly not bad. If this were to be his granddaughter's husband... wait, that wasn't impossible!
A few years' difference—what did that matter?
Hmm, this was a promising prospect, but there was no rush; curing the poison was the priority.
Neither of them wished to delay any further, and being of one mind, they immediately embarked on an impromptu journey.
The environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was unique, so Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were naturally not brought along.
The two women watched the pair gradually fade into the distance, their thoughts drifting in different directions.
Dugu Yan, needless to say, felt her heart brimming with joy and excitement.
Ye Lingling, however, cast a suspicious glance at that vague, upright figure.
She did not know much about Su Ye, but the impression he gave her was certainly not that of a simple-minded or naive person.
On the surface, he had clearly never spoken to Yan Yan about anything regarding the detoxification, yet when Senior Dugu had brought it up earlier, he had shown absolutely no reaction at all.
No curiosity, no surprise; there was only indifference.
It was as if he had known everything all along.
The contradiction was strange; if her guess was correct, then he was likely...
On their end, the two left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed straight for the Sunset Forest.
At first, Dugu Bo intended to carry the boy; after all, as a Titled Douluo, he could fly through the air, and his efficiency was incomparable to that of an ordinary soul master.
But who would have thought that this kid, Su Ye, would give him another shock.
"No need, Senior, just lead the way."
As Su Ye spoke, his thoughts stirred, and the space behind his back rippled slightly.
A pair of wings shimmering with pale silver light manifested from the void, the edges of the feathers trailing faint spatial ripples.
It was none other than the External Soul Bone—Void Wings.
With a light surge of soul power beneath his feet, his figure suddenly soared into the air. With just a gentle flap of his wings, he transformed into a spatial afterimage that nearly vanished from sight.
The speed was so great that it felt as if the very air were being torn apart.
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.
"An External Soul Bone?!"
"And an incredibly rare spatial attribute at that. This kid..."
Judging by the potential Su Ye had displayed so far, reaching the rank of Titled Douluo was a certainty, and he even had the hope of reaching the heights of the Two Peaks of the past.
Such a promising talent was someone he had to hold onto, no matter what.
"Granddaughter... bah, little friend Su Ye, this old man..."
Dugu Bo's soul power surged within him, and his figure turned into a streak of light as he gave chase.
With Dugu Bo leading the way, and given that both of them possessed remarkable speed, it was not long before they arrived before a valley shrouded in poisonous mist.
Looking at the valley before him, Su Ye felt incredibly excited.
The sacred ground for a transmigrator's takeoff had finally arrived!
[I hereby solemnly declare that very soon, I will no longer have to eat beef!]
The women: ???
