Endless Immortal Herbs, Long Yun's Foundation!

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi held a cup of fragrant tea, his gaze fixed on the Top-Grade Immortal Spirit Grass radiating boundless vitality and miraculous wonder upon the Sky Screen, his envy nearly overflowing.

"A top-grade immortal herb..."

"If I could obtain such a divine object, perhaps my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could truly break the fate of being unable to surpass level eighty, and mend the flaws of my martial soul."

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin gently stroked his long sword and let out a long sigh:

"Fengzhi, such divine objects cannot be forced."

"However, this Sky Screen has certainly broadened our horizons."

Just as the entire continent fell into a near-frenzy over the reward given to the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

Rainbow Academy.

Beside the Pool of Life.

Long Yun set down his empty teacup, stood up, and glanced at the barrage on the sky with a hint of amusement.

"These fellows are truly prone to making a fuss over nothing."

He stretched lazily, then began to walk toward the deepest part of the academy.

He intended to check on his Elemental Space.

Deep within Rainbow Academy lay a hidden barrier.

After passing through the layer of nine-colored fluorescent light, the scene before him changed instantly.

This was a vast, independent space, saturated to the extreme with the power of the nine great elements.

On the ground, stalks of top-grade immortal herbs—treasures worth a fortune in the outside world, capable of inciting bloody conflicts—were planted as casually as common cabbages.

Over the long years.

Long Yun had traveled the continent, collecting countless rare herbs and heavenly treasures.

In this Elemental Space constructed from the laws of the heavens, these immortal herbs not only grew at an incredible speed, but their quality was also far superior to the common goods found in the outside world.

Long Yun walked up to a strange flower emitting a dense, frigid aura and casually watered it with some Divine Spring Water.

"The top-grade immortal spirit grass bestowed by the Sky Screen wouldn't even be considered mid-tier if placed here."

Looking at the garden full of peerless rarities, Long Yun shook his head with a faint smile.

Just then.

A light sound of footsteps echoed from the entrance of the Elemental Space.

Shui Xinrou, dressed in a pale blue long dress, walked in with a respectful demeanor.

"Dean."

Shui Xinrou bowed slightly, her voice gentle.

Long Yun turned around, looking at her with a hint of confusion.

"Xinrou, what is it?"

Shui Xinrou replied softly:

"Reporting to the Dean, an old man has arrived outside the academy, claiming to be Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

"He says he is suffering from a strange poison, and having heard that you are a reclusive divine physician, he has come to seek an audience."

"He says... as long as the Dean can save him, he is willing to pay any price."

Hearing the name Poison Douluo, Long Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.

Dugu Bo.

That somewhat tragic Title Douluo from the original trajectory.

Long Yun pondered for a moment, and he already understood the man's intentions.

Over the years, he had left behind many legends of being a divine physician across the Douluo Continent under the guise of the Dean of Rainbow Academy.

Dugu Bo had long suffered from the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had also begun to show symptoms.

He was likely truly at his wit's end, treating a dead horse as if it were a living one by coming here.

"Dugu Bo, eh."

Long Yun smiled with interest.

"He is quite an interesting fellow."

"Tell him to wait for me in the reception room; I shall be there shortly."

Outside the main gate of Rainbow Academy.

An old man in a dark green robe, his face somewhat gloomy and aged, stood with his hands behind his back.

Dugu Bo's dark green eyes were filled with trepidation and unease.

As a Title Douluo, he was naturally arrogant in his daily life.

Yet, as of now.

Looking at this Rainbow Academy, which appeared unremarkable on the surface but was actually so profound that even he could not fathom the slightest bit of its background.

The arrogance Dugu Bo once held in his heart had long since vanished into thin air.

Before long.

Shui Xinrou walked out and gave a slight nod toward Dugu Bo.

"Your Excellency Dugu, the Dean invites you in. Please, follow me."

Dugu Bo dared not be negligent and hurriedly cupped his hands in a somewhat courteous manner.

"I have troubled you, miss."

Upon entering the academy, Dugu Bo felt the air here was incredibly fresh. With just a single breath, even the virulent poison that had tormented him for years seemed to become somewhat subdued.

This left him even more shocked in his heart.

Inside the reception room.

Long Yun was sitting quite leisurely on a grand armchair, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand.

Led by Shui Xinrou, Dugu Bo walked in.

The moment he stepped through the door.

Dugu Bo's gaze fell upon Long Yun.

Too young.

The young man before him looked to be only in his twenties, and there was not the slightest sign of Soul Power fluctuations on his body.

If not for Shui Xinrou's respectful attitude toward him, Dugu Bo would have even assumed this was just an ordinary student of the academy.

"This... is the Dean?"

Dugu Bo felt somewhat suspicious and uncertain.

He could not help but feel a desire to probe him.

A faint, subtle strand of spiritual power silently reached out toward Long Yun.

However.

Before that strand of spiritual power could even get close to Long Yun.

Long Yun merely lifted his eyelids casually, and those deep eyes swept a faint glance at Dugu Bo.

BOOM!

Dugu Bo felt as if an endless, boundless starry sky had crashed into his mind.

It was a terrifying pressure that could not be described in words.

His soul, his body, and even the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul within him were trembling and terrified at this moment!

In the face of this power, he, a high and mighty Titled Douluo, was as insignificant as a grain of dust on a beach.

Thump!

Dugu Bo's legs went weak, and he actually knelt onto the hard floor.

Cold sweat soaked his back in the span of a single breath.

"This junior was rude, I beg for your forgiveness, my lord!"

Dugu Bo's voice was filled with intense terror and awe.

He finally understood.

The person before him was no ordinary youth.

This was clearly a terrifying existence whose strength surpassed his own comprehension!

Long Yun withdrew his gaze with a hint of amusement and gently placed the teacup in his hand back onto the table.

"Dugu Bo."

"You certainly have quite the nerve."

Dugu Bo kept his head lowered, not even daring to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a trembling voice:

"This junior was reckless for a moment and had no intention of offending you, my lord. I beg for your magnanimity!"

Long Yun spoke in a somewhat indifferent tone:

"I know why you have come."

"Your Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison has already seeped into your bone marrow. Every rainy day, your ribs itch unbearably, and at the hour of midnight, you must endure the pain of ten thousand ants gnawing at your heart."

"More importantly, your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, should also be starting to show these symptoms by now, shouldn't she?"

Hearing these words from Long Yun, which were as accurate as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Dugu Bo first shuddered, and then a look of intense ecstasy and hope erupted in his eyes.

"Your insight is like a torch, my lord!"

"I beg you to save my poor granddaughter. As long as you can cure Yan-yan, this old man's life will belong to you from this day forward!"
