Dugu Bo Completely Surrenders!

Looking at Dugu Bo's complex expression, a mixture of shock, anticipation, and a hint of bewilderment, Lin Xia naturally smiled gently and confidently.

Lin Xia weighed the pill in her hand, her tone as casual as if she were simply handing over a glass of water.

"What else could it be? It's the antidote for you, of course!"

Lin Xia glanced at Dugu Bo and the nervous Dugu Yan, and continued.

"I, Lin Xia, keep my word. Since I promised to help you solve the problem, I naturally won't go back on my word. What, Senior Dugu, Sister Yanyan, judging from your expressions, you don't need it anymore?"

"No! No! We don't need it! We need it so badly!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo shook his head vigorously almost reflexively, a look of urgency appearing on his old face.

His loss of composure wasn't due to doubts about Lin Xia's abilities or sincerity, but rather because the way and speed at which this "medicine" appeared completely overturned his understanding!

He spent decades trying to cure himself of this poison, searching through ancient books, trying countless methods, and even using himself as an experimental field, enduring unimaginable pain, yet he always teetered on the edge of despair.

The boy before them jumped into that wondrous spring and stayed there for an unknown amount of time. Upon emerging, in that very short moment, he had actually... mastered it?

And these are three such miraculous pills!

This disparity made him, the Poison Douluo, feel an absurd sense that he had wasted most of his life and a deep self-doubt.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, and focused his gaze once again on the three pills.

The aura emanating from that elixir was unmistakable.

A powerful life force, like a warm spring, dispelled the cold and sluggish feeling in his body caused by years of toxins.

That faint, elusive aura of Ice-Fire Origin acted like the most precise probe, causing him to feel a slight... instinctive fear and retreat emanating from the deep-rooted, stubborn toxins within his body, like a bone-deep infection?

This feeling was something he had never experienced before!

The immense shock and indescribable excitement instantly overwhelmed Dugu Bo.

Without further hesitation, Dugu Bo pulled his granddaughter Dugu Yan aside, and the two of them bowed deeply to Lin Xia under the moonlight, performing a bow that was almost ninety degrees!

"His Highness the Holy Son saving my life! For giving me a second chance!"

Dugu Bo's voice was filled with unprecedented solemnity and a hint of sob.

Dugu Yan followed her grandfather, her clear voice filled with gratitude.

"His Highness the Holy Son!"

Lin Xia accepted the greeting without hesitation.

He knew that this was not just gratitude, but also represented a complete change in Dugu Bo's attitude.

After finishing the ceremony and rising, Dugu Bo suppressed the urge to immediately swallow the pill and cautiously asked:

"Your His Highness the Holy Son, if I may be so bold as to ask another question, are there any taboos or precautions when taking this divine pill? For example, the time of day, the environment, or the route of Soul Power circulation?"

He habitually used his experience in studying poisons and antidotes to speculate.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia smiled and shook her head, her tone relaxed and certain.

"No, Senior Dugu, you're overthinking it. These pills aren't that complicated."

Lin Xia held up a pill, the red, Platinum light flowing in his palm, illuminating his young yet already composed face.

"Just eat it directly."

Lin Xia's words were resolute.

"Take three pills once a month. Remember, swallow them whole; no refining is required. The pills' power will circulate on its own. After three months, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison that has accumulated in your body throughout your life will be completely eliminated."

He paused, noticing the fleeting worry in Dugu Bo's eyes about the potential significant loss of strength after "complete elimination," and a knowing smile played on his lips as he added:

"Oh, right, to correct you, we can't say 'it's over' either."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both taken aback.

Lin Xia's gaze was intense, carrying a confident understanding of the essence of energy.

"It should be said that the 'poisons' in your body that originally eroded your vitality and damaged your foundation will be completely transformed and refined by the Origin Power in the elixir!"

"They will no longer be your death warrants, but will become a part of your cultivation! They will transform into the purest 'poison' attribute Soul Power, blending seamlessly with your own Soul Power!"

Lin Xia, seeing Dugu Bo's eyes widen instantly, clearly uttered the most crucial information.

"Therefore, not only will it not cause your strength to decline, but it will also help you break through the bottleneck that has been shackled by toxins for many years! I estimate... with the unimaginable amount of toxins you have accumulated over the years, once perfectly converted, it will at least allow your Soul Power, which has been stagnant for so long, to increase by one or two levels!"

"Wh... what?!"

Boom--!

Lin Xia's words struck Dugu Bo's heart like a thunderbolt from the heavens!

He was completely stunned!

My mind went blank, with only those few words echoing wildly like a curse.

"It will become part of my cultivation... it won't regress... it breaks through the shackles... it will increase my cultivation level by one or two levels..."

Clearing away the toxins would severely damage his cultivation, and he might even fall below the Titled Douluo level. This was a price he had long been mentally prepared for and was even willing to pay!

For his granddaughter's sake, and to survive, he made the decision!

But... but what did Lin Xia tell him now? Not only will it not fall, but it will actually rise?

The Toxic that had plagued him throughout his life, causing him immense suffering and which he considered Curse, could actually become an aid to his breakthrough?

This... this has completely exceeded his lifelong understanding of poison and Soul Power!

The immense shock was like a tsunami, instantly shattering all of Dugu Bo's psychological defenses.

Ecstasy, disbelief, awe of Lin Xia's terrifying methods, and immense gratitude for Reversal... all these emotions erupted in his chest like a volcano!

"Thump!"

This time, without any hesitation or weighing of options, Dugu Bo's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the cold ground!

The knee Tackle the rock with a dull thud.

He was no longer acting as a guest elder or partner of the Spirit Hall, but as a saved person, a submissive one. He knelt on one knee and slammed his right fist heavily into his left chest—this was the most solemn oath of allegiance in the Soul Master World of the Douluo Continent!

Dugu Bo lowered his head deeply, his gray hair standing out starkly in the moonlight. His voice trembled with extreme excitement, yet it carried an unwavering determination.

"Your His Highness the Holy Son! This favor is heavier than mountains and deeper than the ocean!"

"I, Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, hereby swear: From this day forward, I will obey only the commands of His Highness the Holy Son! This body and this soul are dedicated to the Spirit Hall! I will brave mountains of knives and seas of fire, and die a hundred times without regret! If I break this oath, may heaven and earth punish me, and may my spirit be utterly destroyed!"

Every word was forceful and resounding!

This is the most solemn promise from a Titled Douluo, and it is also his determination to completely entrust himself and the future of the Dugu Family to the young man in front of him!
