Just who is this child?

Dugu Bo swallowed hard, his heart filled with immense astonishment.

He could not discern Luo Chen's cultivation level; it was as if a natural barrier surrounded the boy, a protection granted to him by Guang Ling Douluo.

Yet, even without seeing anything, Dugu Bo understood the situation simply by observing Guang Ling Douluo's reaction.

"Guang Ling Douluo, this kid says he wants to detoxify me and my granddaughter, but I must state this clearly beforehand: the poison within me is sometimes difficult even for me to suppress!"

"If, by any chance, some accident occurs..."

Dugu Bo did not continue, but the implication behind his words was already clear.

He would not take action, but if Luo Chen encountered any trouble during the detoxification process, it would have nothing to do with him.

However, facing Dugu Bo, Guang Ling Douluo did not speak, merely letting out a cold snort.

Instantly, Dugu Bo's heart sank further.

He began to consider whether he should simply take Dugu Yan and flee.

After all, this precious sanctuary of his was now exposed, and exposed to an overbearing, transcendent power like Martial Soul Hall.

If Guang Ling Douluo wanted to, he could claim this place as his own at any moment.

With his cultivation, he could not defend it, let alone with his precious granddaughter by his side.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Luo Chen slowly stepped forward.

He offered a slight bow to Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu Bo, rest assured, I am confident that I can treat both you and Dugu Yan."

In truth, Luo Chen quite wanted to subdue Dugu Bo for his own use.

After all, although this Poison Douluo appeared on the surface to be the "shame of the Title Douluos," the "floor tile of the Title Douluos," and the weakest Title Douluo in single combat, Luo Chen still remembered the final great battle recorded in the original work.

To Luo Chen, Dugu Bo was a trump card for group warfare.

You might not need to use him, but you must have him, and you certainly cannot let this card fall into someone else's hands!

Therefore, regarding today, Luo Chen had only given Dugu Bo two paths in his heart.

One, naturally, was to detoxify him and then slowly win him over through this connection.

As for the other...

Luo Chen was no saint; if this bond of kindness could not be forged, he would have to be ruthless.

It could only be said that this was Douluo Continent: the weak are prey to the strong, and the strong are respected.

For now, although Dugu Bo did not fully grasp Luo Chen's intentions and thought he would not die if he refused, he ultimately did not decline when faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for detoxification.

"Very well, then I shall trust you."

In truth, deep down, Dugu Bo trusted that Luo Chen could help him.

After all, being from Martial Soul Hall, if there was anyone he felt could help his family solve this monumental problem, it was only Martial Soul Hall, which had been passed down for who knows how many years.

As a high-ranking member of Martial Soul Hall, Luo Chen had no reason to bring Guang Ling Douluo along to deceive him.

His only worry was that Luo Chen was so young; if he were unskilled and made a mistake, or if his own poison became uncontrollable and harmed Luo Chen...

Just as Guang Ling Douluo had said, he and his entire family would likely be finished.

Thus, he had just made a significant trade-off; he decided to take this gamble.

He gambled that since Guang Ling Douluo dared to let Luo Chen take action, the boy must have profound attainments in this field, which was why he was so at ease.

Soon, Dugu Bo gestured for the two to enter the poisonous miasma.

Inside the miasma lay a small, vibrant mountain, completely different from the deathly silence of the outside world.

Aside from the influence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it was evident that Dugu Bo frequently tended to his lair.

Not lingering on the mountain for long, Dugu Bo led them into a cave behind the mountain.

After a short stretch of pitch-black path where one could not see their own fingers, a glimmer of light appeared before them.

As they continued forward, a look of shock gradually appeared on Guang Ling Douluo's face.

Only now did he finally sense that aura.

The moment he truly stepped inside, Guang Ling Douluo was completely stunned.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well lay there quietly, with immortal-grade treasures of ice and fire attributes at its center.

As for the surroundings, they were densely covered with all kinds of legendary immortal herbs.

The density was comparable to weeds growing wantonly by the roadside.

Guang Ling Douluo did not have deep research into these things, but at this moment, he was severely shaken.

Unfamiliar or not, he could clearly distinguish whether something was good or bad, and what its quality was.

Luo Chen, standing to the side, also felt his heart racing. Despite being well-prepared for his first visit, he was still shocked by these immortal herbs growing as densely as if they were worthless.

"Kid, how do you intend to detoxify me?"

Dugu Bo spoke slowly from the side.

Dugu Yan had not followed them down; he had left her up above. His requirement was to be detoxified first, letting Luo Chen experiment on him.

If it succeeded, then they would proceed to detoxify Dugu Yan.

Luo Chen had readily agreed to this.

Facing Dugu Bo at this moment, Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"Actually, I have two solutions here for you to choose from."

Raising his hand, Luo Chen held up two fingers.

Under the curious gazes of Dugu Bo and Guang Ling Douluo, Luo Chen began to explain them one by one.

What Luo Chen described were the exact two methods Tang San had proposed in the original work.

These were also the two most practical methods he had verified through extensive research while at the Worship Hall.

If one were to insist there was a third, it would be to find an incredibly powerful healing-type Titled Douluo.

But clearly, that was non-existent.

"Senior Dugu Bo, the methods have been given to you; the rest depends on how you choose."

After explaining the entire detoxification path, Luo Chen sat down to the side with Guang Ling Douluo and began to wait.

"By the way, the detoxification procedure for Dugu Yan is the same."

Luo Chen added.

Dugu Bo did not speak, only nodding slightly as he fell into deep thought.

Ultimately, after more than ten minutes of contemplation, he could not bear to part with his cultivation and chose the most difficult second path.

Forcing all the toxins into his spirit bone to use it as a medium for storage.

"What do I need to do?"

Dugu Bo stood up and looked at Luo Chen, his eyes filled with gravity.

He understood that from this moment on, he was essentially handing his life over to Luo Chen to manage.

But looking at Dugu Bo, Luo Chen shook his head slightly.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Senior Dugu Bo. You said it before, didn't you? As long as I help you detoxify, we can pick any of the immortal herbs here."

"Right?"

Although he desperately wanted Luo Chen to begin the treatment, Dugu Bo ultimately did not dare to voice it.

"This old man keeps his word."
