PUA Dugu Bo

Outside the gates of Dugu Manor, Bai Yu reached out and knocked on the door knocker, then waited quietly.

"Creak..."

As the gates opened, a middle-aged servant appeared and looked Bai Yu over. "May I ask what business you have?"

"Please inform Poison Douluo that the descendant of an old acquaintance has come to visit."

Seeing Bai Yu's luxurious attire and composed manner, the servant said, "Very well. Please wait a moment, sir. I will inform the master."

The servant turned and entered the courtyard, walking to Dugu Bo's room. "Master, a young man outside claims to be the descendant of an old friend and requests an audience."

"Bullshit. When have I ever had any old friends? Tell him to get lost." Dugu Bo's impatient voice came from inside.

"Yes."

Just as the servant was about to turn away, another voice came from within. "Wait. Let him in."

"Uh... yes, Master."

Led by the servant, Bai Yu entered the courtyard and immediately spotted Dugu Bo emerging from his room and sitting in the pavilion.

"Kid, I have no old friends. What do you want from me? If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, don't bother leaving. Stay in the courtyard and become fertilizer for my flowers."

Dugu Bo glanced at Bai Yu, his tone gloomy. Clearly, he was in a poor mood.

Wearing a mask, Bai Yu smiled faintly. "This junior is Bai Yu. Greetings, Your Excellency Dugu. Chrysanthemum Douluo should count as an old acquaintance of yours, shouldn't he?"

After cupping his fists in greeting, Bai Yu asked with a hint of teasing in his voice.

Dugu Bo's expression froze. He said irritably, "Ju Hua Guan? What old acquaintance? More like an enemy. Are you the descendant of that old chrysanthemum?"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo waved his hand. "Since I don't feel like seeing blood today, get lost while you still can. Ju Hua Guan has no standing with me."

Not only did Bai Yu refuse to leave, he sat down in the pavilion instead. "I heard Chrysanthemum Douluo mention you before. Judging by his description and what I have seen with my own eyes today... tsk, tsk. I never expected someone could cultivate poison techniques to the point of nearly killing himself."

Dugu Bo's expression changed abruptly, killing intent filling his face as the pressure of a Titled Douluo burst forth. "Kid, what nonsense are you spouting? Tired of living? Did you come here looking for death?"

"Stop showing off that Title of yours. I've met more Titled Douluo than you even know." Bai Yu shook his head as the Yin Yang Domain flowed out, forming a spherical barrier around him resembling a Taiji Diagram.

Dugu Bo's expression darkened. "Who exactly are you? What do you want from me?"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo withdrew his pressure, and Bai Yu dispersed his domain as well.

"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Bai Yu, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall. I came to make a deal with Your Excellency Dugu."

Bai Yu raised a hand and removed his mask, looking at Dugu Bo. "As for the terms, I will solve the poison in your body and the inherited poison problem of your martial soul. In return, Your Excellency Dugu will give me the treasured land you have been using to suppress the poison, and then join Spirit Hall."

"Hah. Nonsense. Even if you truly are Spirit Hall's Holy Son, you will pay the price for talking rubbish in front of me." Dugu Bo sneered.

Bai Yu looked helpless, the corner of his mouth twitching. Was he really this stubborn? Did he need the password before he would listen?

Coming back to himself, he looked at Dugu Bo. "Whenever the weather turns overcast or rainy, you feel numbness and itching beneath your ribs. It gradually intensifies and lasts for more than two hours, occurring once at noon and once at midnight."

"Every night, around the third watch, you experience needle-like stabbing pain at the top of your head and the soles of your feet. Your entire body convulses for at least an hour."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo's face was full of shock. Aside from himself, no one knew of this, yet this kid had described it without the slightest error.

Watching the silent Dugu Bo, Bai Yu thought for a moment. "I heard that your granddaughter's martial soul is also the Jade Phosphorous Serpent? The side effects should begin to show in a few years, shouldn't they?"

"Your Excellency Dugu, you may not care about your own life and death, but do you not care about the life and death of your granddaughter, Dugu Yan?"

"Your Excellency Dugu, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your granddaughter, would you?"

After saying that, Bai Yu involuntarily shuddered, silently lamenting that Yan had led him astray.

"Since you say you have a solution, then show it to me." Dugu Bo's expression shifted repeatedly before finally settling.

"If you can truly solve it, what harm is there in this old man joining Spirit Hall?"

A smile spread across Bai Yu's face as he took out a booklet and handed it over. "This is a Self-Created Soul Skill, the Myriad Poison Hand. After cultivating it, you can form a poison sac in each palm."

"During cultivation, you must use your palms to absorb all kinds of poisons until your hands become as white as jade, with a black ring in the center of each palm. Only then is the cultivation successful."

"Afterward, once your hands return from jade-colored to their original skin tone, it will be fully mastered. As for your family's martial soul poison, simply gather it into the poison sacs in your hands."

When the sound of pages turning ceased, Dugu Bo looked excitedly at the soul skill in his hands. "Good, excellent! Yan Yan can be saved! Kid, this old man agrees."

"This old man will give you my cultivation grounds, and I also agree to join Spirit Hall."

Bai Yu scratched at the corner of his mouth. "Don't get too excited yet. Dugu Yan's poison is easy to handle. It has not gone deep yet, so she only needs to circulate her Soul Power herself and guide it out."

"As for you, Poison Douluo, the poison has taken deep root in your body. You will probably need to prepare some medicine to stir up the poison and assist your Soul Power."

"By the way, can you prepare the medicine needed to stir up the poison yourself? Do you need me to find someone from Spirit Hall to help?"

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, somewhat annoyed. "Don't worry. This old man has studied this for so many years. I can handle such a trivial matter."

"Come with me to my cultivation grounds in a moment. This old man will gather some herbs to prepare the medicine. Afterward, that place will be yours."

"Good. Then it's settled." Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

With Dugu Bo carrying him through the air the entire way, Bai Yu soon arrived outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Looking at the poisonous mist surrounding the area, he turned to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo looked at Bai Yu with a half-smile. "Kid, since you want this treasured land of mine, can you deal with the poisonous mist around it? If you can't get in, this old man won't be responsible."

"Fine. No need to trouble you, old man."

Bai Yu rolled his eyes, spread out his Yin Yang Domain, and stepped into the poisonous mist.

Dugu Bo chuckled behind him. "This kid really refuses to suffer even the slightest loss."

As Bai Yu entered the valley and looked upon the enormous Mandarin Duck Pot, he sighed in admiration.

"Truly spectacular. As expected of a sacred check-in site, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"A sacred check-in site? The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" A row of question marks seemed to appear above Dugu Bo's head.

Bai Yu waved a hand. "Technical terminology. You wouldn't understand even if I explained."

Then, with an excited expression, he rushed toward the strange flowers and exotic herbs.

"This kid..." Dugu Bo shook his head and went to gather the herbs he needed as well.

To prepare for this day, Bai Yu had studied under Chrysanthemum Douluo in Spirit Hall for more than half a year. He could be considered familiar with the various plants of Douluo Continent.

In the original story, Chrysanthemum Douluo could identify the Immortal Herbs the Shrek Seven Devils had consumed merely from the residual power in their bodies. He was truly a master among masters.

Bai Yu could not do that, but he did know their names, effects, harvesting methods, and how they should be consumed.

Time passed quietly. Dugu Bo covered his face as he watched Bai Yu continue working, unable to stop himself from speaking.

"Kid, I'm warning you. Most of those flowers and herbs are extremely dangerous. Don't go dying on me, or Spirit Hall will come demanding answers."

"Also, this old man needs to return to prepare medicine and have Yan Yan cultivate the Myriad Poison Hand. Are you coming with me or not?"

Bai Yu straightened up and looked at Dugu Bo. "Just because you don't know them doesn't mean I don't. Don't worry, there's no danger."

"You can go back by yourself. Also, take this to your granddaughter and have her pick the small golden melon on top and eat it."
