"Oh?"
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, a look of surprise appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
He looked at Yu Tianchen and spoke in a calm voice:
"Kid, I wonder what business you have with this old man?"
"Senior Dugu Bo."
Yu Tianchen stood up, cupped his hands in a junior's salute to Dugu Bo, and spoke with an attitude that was neither servile nor overbearing:
"This junior asked my grandfather to bring me to see you this time because I would like to ask a favor of you."
"Oh?"
Dugu Bo frowned, speaking with growing interest:
"Your grandfather is the dignified Thunder Douluo; you don't ask him, but come to ask me?"
"Not exactly."
Yu Tianchen smiled slightly:
"My grandfather has come along, hasn't he?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback, then immediately burst into laughter:
"You kid are quite interesting. Tell me, I'm actually a bit curious myself—what kind of matter requires two Title Douluo to help you?"
Hearing Dugu Bo say this, Yu Tianchen didn't stand on ceremony and immediately stated his purpose:
"I want you to take me to that treasure land in the core area of the Sunset Forest."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Dugu Bo's face instantly froze.
He narrowed his eyes, unleashing the aura belonging to a Title Douluo.
Just as he was about to say something unpleasant, he saw Yu Yuanzhen casually stretching his wrists, causing his bones to crackle.
Dugu Bo: "..."
Good kid!
No wonder you said your grandfather came along too.
So this was to guard against me!
In the end, the unpleasant words that had reached Dugu Bo's lips were swallowed back down amidst the sound of Yu Yuanzhen stretching his wrists.
However, expecting him to admit it just like that was clearly unrealistic.
"The Sunset Forest has a treasure land?"
"This is the first time this old man has heard of such a thing."
Dugu Bo feigned confusion and said:
"Although I don't know where you got this information, you can't expect me to take you to find a place that even I don't know about, can you?"
"Senior Dugu Bo, has anyone ever told you that your acting is actually quite poor?"
Facing Dugu Bo's denial, Yu Tianchen maintained a polite smile on his face:
"This junior says this naturally because I have sufficient evidence."
"Firstly, whenever the weather is overcast or rainy, you often disappear from the public eye, and the place where you disappear happens to be the Sunset Forest."
"Secondly, if this junior is not mistaken, you have been poisoned, haven't you?"
"And the treasure land I mentioned possesses the impact of heaven and earth spiritual energy from two different extreme attributes: extreme heat and extreme cold."
"An ordinary person might find it hard to endure, but for someone like you who is filled with potent toxins, such a treasure land can actually suppress the toxins within your body very well."
"Am I right, Senior Dugu Bo?"
"Or perhaps, do you need me to describe the symptoms you suffer when the toxins in your body flare up?"
Dugu Bo's expression had already turned gloomy.
Especially when Yu Tianchen mentioned that he was poisoned.
For a split second, he truly had the thought of killing Yu Tianchen right there.
But Yu Yuanzhen was sitting right there.
If he truly dared to show any intention of attacking Yu Tianchen, he reckoned that the moment he made a move, those dragon claws of Yu Yuanzhen would strike his head directly.
Although Dugu Bo did not have a deep friendship with Yu Yuanzhen...
Yet he knew clearly that for all these years, Yu Yuanzhen had regarded the continuation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as paramount.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had finally produced such a top-tier talent.
If he were to get him killed.
Yu Yuanzhen would truly go insane.
After a long silence, Dugu Bo finally sighed softly.
"Kid, I won't press you on how you know these things."
"Since you know I am deeply poisoned, then you should be even more aware."
"How important that place is to me."
"It is impossible for me to yield that place to you."
"Oh?"
Before Yu Tianchen could speak, Yu Yuanzhen could not help himself.
He sneered, glancing sideways at Dugu Bo.
"So you mean that all the polite talk my grandson and I have engaged in for half the day has been in vain, is that it?"
"And what if it is?"
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Grandfather, Senior Dugu Bo, please calm down."
At this moment, Yu Tianchen spoke up.
Facing the dangerous aura radiating from Dugu Bo, he showed no intention of backing down, simply saying:
"Senior Dugu Bo."
"I know you have your own reasons for not wanting to give it up."
"But what if I could cure the poison in your body?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Dugu Bo, even Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Tianchen in astonishment.
"Kid, do you know what you are saying?"
Dugu Bo laughed disdainfully:
"I admit you do have some talent, reaching the realm of a Soul Grand Master at only eight years old."
"But the poison in this old man's body is not something a wet-behind-the-ears kid like you can solve."
"How would you know without trying?"
Yu Tianchen's expression was indifferent:
"You don't have a better solution anyway, do you?"
"If I am not mistaken, not only you, but your granddaughter, Miss Dugu Yan, is also showing signs of being poisoned, right?"
"You don't need to ask how I know this; with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's information channels, it is not difficult to find out about your Dugu family's affairs."
These words indeed struck a sore spot for Dugu Bo.
Since his son died two years ago, the Dugu family had only Dugu Yan left as his sole descendant.
If something were to happen to Dugu Yan, then he...
Dugu Bo's fists clenched, then slowly relaxed.
Finally, he sighed softly.
"You are right."
"I truly have no better way to deal with the toxins accumulated in my body."
"Kid, the poison in this old man's body is of no consequence, but if you can truly cure the poison in Yan Yan's body."
"This old man can share that treasure land with you."
"If you can truly remove the hidden dangers of the toxins in my body."
"Then what would it matter if I gifted that treasure land to you?"
"Tell me your methods."
As Dugu Bo said these words, Yu Tianchen felt a sound resonate in his mind.
Ding! Immortal Herb Redemption Code successfully used!
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately said in a clear voice:
"I have three methods to deal with the toxins in your body."
"The first is to force the toxins accumulated in your body into your spirit bones. This would allow you to retain your poisonous arts and even advance further; it is a relatively stable plan."
"But the drawback of this method is that spirit bones have a limit to what they can bear and cannot contain your toxins indefinitely. If you use this method, you must be aware of your own limits."
Having said this, he paused, not mentioning the other two methods, but instead looked at Dugu Bo with a smile:
"Senior Dugu Bo, I have told you the method and the drawbacks of this first option."
"Now, as a sign of good faith, can you take me to see that treasure land in the Sunset Forest?"
