Dugu Bo Weeps with Gratitude, Ten Thousand Zhang Below the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Remnants of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?! (Seeking Follows)

Even the olive branch extended by Martial Soul Hall had never caught his eye.

Now, although these two mysterious figures possessed unfathomable strength, their immediate demand for him to pledge his allegiance instinctively made him resist.

"This old man is accustomed to a life of wandering; I cannot abide by constraints..."

Dugu Bo had just begun to refuse when Gu Yuan's next words cut him off abruptly.

"I know what you are hesitating about, and I know what you are worried about."

A confident arc curled at the corner of Gu Yuan's mouth as he raised a finger and shook it gently:

"Your so-called freedom is merely built upon the fear of dropping dead at any moment.

Furthermore, you are not just doing this for yourself, but also for your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, aren't you?"

Upon hearing the name "Dugu Yan," the gaze that had been somewhat resistant in Dugu Bo instantly turned sharp, even carrying a trace of killing intent—it was the reaction of a dragon whose reverse scale had been touched.

But Gu Yuan did not care in the slightest and continued:

"Your current method of suppression is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst.

However, I have a way to completely eradicate the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from both you and your granddaughter."

"What did you say?!"

Dugu Bo's entire body shuddered; even the toxins rampaging within him seemed to freeze for an instant, startled by those words.

Dugu Bo stared fixedly at Gu Yuan, his breathing ragged:

"You... you say you can cure it?

That is impossible!

This is a poison inherent to the martial soul, long since fused into the blood and marrow. Unless one abandons their martial soul, there is absolutely no way to cure it!"

"That is because your knowledge is shallow."

Gu Yuan smiled indifferently and dropped a bombshell:

"Blocking is inferior to channeling.

Your current approach is forced suppression, forcing the toxins to accumulate within your body, which naturally leads to a backlash.

The true solution lies in 'channeling'."

"Channeling?"

Dugu Bo repeated subconsciously, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"Exactly."

Gu Yuan spoke eloquently, combining Tang San's theories from the original work with his own understanding.

"As a Titled Douluo, you have long since condensed spirit bones within your body.

You only need to force this poison-wielding power into your spirit bones to store it.

Spirit bones are inanimate objects; they will not be eroded by the poison, but will instead become even more powerful due to the infusion of the lethal venom.

At the same time, supplemented by other means to help treat the consequences of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison's erosion on your body, it won't be long before you can completely rid yourself of the danger of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison."

"When fighting, you can release the toxins stored within the spirit bones. Not only will the power be doubled, but your body will no longer be troubled by the toxins in daily life.

As for your granddaughter, her condition is not yet as severe as yours. By pairing this with a few immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cleanse her marrow and cut her tendons, the hidden dangers can be completely resolved."

Gu Yuan's words were like a sudden enlightenment, instantly blowing open the tightly shut door in Dugu Bo's mind.

As an expert in poisons, although Dugu Bo had been blinded by his own perspective, once pointed in the right direction by Gu Yuan, he immediately deduced the feasibility of this theory.

"Force into the spirit bones... store poison with bone... blocking is inferior to channeling..."

Dugu Bo muttered to himself, the shock in his eyes gradually transforming into ecstasy—a kind of ecstasy felt when one suddenly sees a path to the heavens from the abyss of despair!

The curse that had plagued the Dugu family for generations, the nightmare that had tortured him for most of his life, actually had a solution!

And it sounded so perfect!

"Thump!"

Without any hesitation, and without any airs of a powerhouse.

Dugu Bo ignored the intense pain in his body, adjusted his posture on the rock, and bowed heavily toward Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena, his voice trembling yet incomparably firm:

"If you can truly save my granddaughter and resolve my family's misfortune, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to submit!"

"From this day forward, this old man's life belongs to the two of you!"

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, raised her hand, and flicked a gentle silver light into Dugu Bo's body, temporarily helping him suppress the toxins that were about to go berserk.

"Since you have submitted, you are now one of our own.

You should first cultivate here to heal your wounds, and try to guide the toxins according to the method Little Yuan described."

Gu Yuena's voice was cold and noble, carrying an unquestionable majesty, before her tone shifted, dropping a promise that made Dugu Bo almost faint from happiness:

"Given that you are the first human Titled Douluo to join my Star Dou Great Forest faction, This Seat will naturally not treat you unfairly.

Once matters here are concluded, I will find you two 100,000-year-level Poison Dragon spirit bones."

"Ten... ten thousand years? And two of them?!"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened, his breathing nearly coming to a halt.

Gu Yuena's expression remained indifferent, as if she were speaking of a trivial matter:

"Not only that, these two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone pieces contain the pure bloodline of a true dragon. Combined with the immortal herbs of this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they are sufficient to cleanse your marrow and wash your tendons, completely evolving your 'Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor' into a 'Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon'."

"When that time comes, you will be a true Dragon Soul Master, and the mere backlash of your serpent venom will vanish into thin air."

Dugu Bo felt his head buzzing.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was a legend in the world of Soul Masters; possessing even one was enough to trigger a bloodbath, yet this mysterious woman spoke of two as if they were nothing!

She could even assist in Martial Soul Evolution!

This was no mere act of pledging his service; he had clearly stumbled upon a heaven-sent opportunity!

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! Dugu Bo shall surely serve you with his life, and will not hesitate even in the face of death!"

Dugu Bo, moved to tears, kowtowed heavily once more.

The lingering trace of resentment in his heart had long since vanished, replaced by unwavering, absolute loyalty.

After pacifying Dugu Bo, Gu Yuan and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, their gazes turning simultaneously toward the red and blue intertwined, mist-shrouded Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Let's go. It's time to meet those two old fellows."

Gu Yuan smiled faintly and took Gu Yuena's hand. Without the slightest hesitation, the two leaped, diving directly into the spring water that could reduce an ordinary Titled Douluo to ashes in an instant.

"Splash!"

Water sprayed as their figures instantly vanished into the red and blue vortex.

Two terrifying energies—one of extreme heat and one of extreme cold—immediately enveloped them, but for Gu Yuan, who possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and Gu Yuena, who was the Silver Dragon King, it felt as comfortable as bathing in warm water.

A faint light barrier manifested around them, ignoring the erosion of the spring water as they dove rapidly downward.

One hundred meters, one thousand meters, ten thousand meters...

As the depth increased, the surrounding pressure grew exponentially, and the light gradually faded, leaving only the red and blue radiance flickering in the darkness.

Finally, after descending a full ten thousand fathoms, the space below suddenly opened up.

This was a strange underground cavern, devoid of turbulent currents and instead saturated with dragon energy so dense it was extreme.

In the center of that space, two dragon skeletons, vast enough to be suffocating, lay in silence.

One was entirely crimson, radiating a scorching heat; the other was entirely ice-blue, emitting a bone-chilling cold.
