"Do you really have a way to resolve the toxin backlash in my body? You can even help fix my granddaughter's problem too?"
Dugu Bo could not help asking.
"How could this old man, a dignified Level 98 Super Douluo, possibly deceive a junior like you?"
Du Busi snorted, looking disdainful.
In truth, judging by actual age and cultivation, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Du Busi calling Dugu Bo a junior.
But the problem was that Du Busi was someone from ten thousand years later. In reality, Dugu Bo should have counted as the senior.
This damned time paradox!
Ye Ling gave a wry smile, while an absurd feeling rose in his heart.
"The reason your Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison is causing backlash is actually only because there is no place in your body that can safely store the toxins."
Du Busi did not notice Ye Ling's odd reaction and simply continued speaking on his own.
"Spirit Masters are different from Spirit Beasts, after all. Spirit Beasts like the Jade Phosphor Serpent in nature all have a poison sac inside their bodies specifically for storing toxins."
"It is precisely because your body lacks a dedicated place to store toxins that the poison cultivation you practice runs wild inside you, gradually corroding your body."
Dugu Bo froze when he heard this.
This era's research into martial souls was actually extremely shallow.
On top of that, many Spirit Masters were deeply secretive about certain flaws in their own martial souls, which resulted in many people being unable to explain the cause even when problems appeared with their martial souls.
They could only simply attribute it to the four words "Martial Soul Reversal."
"My situation is similar to yours, but I used poison to temper the tendons and bones, flesh and blood, and Soul Power within my body, and in the end condensed the toxins into a soul core."
As Du Busi spoke to this point, he glanced at Dugu Bo's dantian.
"Although you have not condensed a soul core, you do have an inner core in your body. You can absolutely use the inner core as a foundation to condense a Poison Attribute Soul Core."
"In that case, not only can you resolve the toxin backlash in your body once and for all, you can even greatly solidify your Soul Power."
Ye Ling nodded slightly when he heard this.
Although Du Busi had plenty of faults, his insight was truly worthy of a Level 98 Super Douluo.
In the original work, Tang San had Dugu Bo gather the toxins into his Soul Bone. In Ye Ling's view, that was practically treating human life like grass.
First of all, once a Soul Bone was absorbed by a Spirit Master, it naturally became part of the Spirit Master. Rashly gathering so many toxins there made the consequences truly difficult to predict.
Moreover, if the Soul Bone's quality was not up to standard, or if too many toxins accumulated, it might even cause the Soul Bone to shatter.
He clearly could have used immortal herbs to solve the toxin backlash in Dugu Bo's body, yet Tang San had come up with an idea like that. It could only be said that this bastard had harbored no good intentions.
"Senior, can that Soul Core Condensation Method you mentioned really resolve the toxin backlash from my martial soul?"
Although Dugu Bo was clearly confused, obviously suffering from his lack of education,
that did not stop him from understanding that the senior before him could solve the problem in his body.
"Senior, to tell you the truth, I also have a granddaughter. Her father, my son, also died because of the toxin backlash in his martial soul."
As Dugu Bo spoke to this point, he remembered his son, who had died young, and his expression inevitably turned sorrowful.
"Senior is right. That granddaughter of mine carried Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison from the womb. Her mother died in childbirth when giving birth to her."
"If Senior can resolve the serpent poison backlash in her body, then whatever you ask of me, I will not refuse."
In truth, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was practically a curse upon the entire Dugu Family.
Though it granted the Dugu Family formidable poison-using abilities, it also prevented the people of this family from living long lives or dying peacefully.
Someone like Dugu Bo, if he had not found a treasured land like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress the toxins, probably would not have lasted until the day he broke through to Titled Douluo.
"Although your strength is weak, you are at least a Titled Douluo. Condensing a soul core will not be a problem for you."
Du Busi frowned slightly when he heard this.
"But your granddaughter is still young. She cannot use a method like condensing a soul core."
"Senior..."
Dugu Bo's expression grew anxious.
"Senior Dugu."
Just then, Ye Ling interrupted from the side, cutting off what Dugu Bo was about to say.
"I can help you resolve your granddaughter's problem."
"You?"
Dugu Bo was already somewhat displeased at having his words interrupted, and when he heard this, he sneered and shot Ye Ling a sideways glance.
"Even this Level 98 Super Douluo senior thinks my granddaughter's problem is more troublesome than mine. What right does a junior like you have?"
"Shut your mouth!"
"You dare speak to our Young Pavilion Master like that? You're courting death!"
The moment Dugu Bo's words fell, Kong Deming and Du Busi both stood almost at the same time.
Their powerful pressure nearly made Dugu Bo, this Level 91 Titled Douluo, suffocate.
Ye Ling waved his hand, and only then did the two Super Douluo withdraw their pressure.
"On the basis that I am the Young Pavilion Master of the Mending Heaven Pavilion. Naturally, I have the ability to resolve your granddaughter's problem."
Ye Ling stood up and looked at Dugu Bo with burning eyes.
"We invited Senior here today not because we must have Senior make a choice right now."
"I will give Senior seven days. If Senior is willing to join the Mending Heaven Pavilion, then whether it is the problem in Senior's body or the problem in your granddaughter's body, we will naturally resolve them together."
Ye Ling himself did not have a method to resolve the toxins inside Dugu Yan's body, but he believed that Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica definitely had a solution.
If Dugu Bo was willing to join his Mending Heaven Pavilion, then the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica rewarded by the system could naturally resolve every problem.
Dugu Bo did not speak, but his expression showed some struggle.
"You say you are the Young Pavilion Master of the Mending Heaven Pavilion. I have two questions I want to ask you."
After a moment, Dugu Bo spoke.
"Senior, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Ye Ling said calmly.
"Are neither of these two Titled Douluo by your side the Pavilion Master of your Mending Heaven Pavilion?"
"They are indeed not."
Ye Ling shook his head, then pointed at Kong Deming and introduced him. "This is Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming."
After saying that, he pointed at Du Busi.
"That one is Body Douluo Du Busi."
"These two are both the Left and Right Chaplains of my Mending Heaven Pavilion, and their status within the pavilion is equal."
When Dugu Bo heard this, he looked at Kong Deming with considerable surprise.
He had not expected that a Titled Douluo with only one 100,000-year spirit ring could actually have equal status with a Level 98 Super Douluo who possessed Three 100,000-Year Spirit Rings.
"What are you looking at? Although this old man is only Level 96, I can beat three Du Busis."
When Kong Deming saw Dugu Bo's strange gaze, he immediately guessed what he was thinking and could not help snorting.
"If you have the guts, don't use Soul Tools. Let's fight. If you can win, I'll call you Grandpa."
Du Busi was also extremely unconvinced. In the philosophy of the Body Sect, external objects like Soul Tools were looked down on the most.
"Chaplains, please don't quarrel."
Ye Ling quickly waved his hand to stop them.
"Both Chaplains are peerless talents, and your strengths are evenly matched. Why argue?"
Ye Ling's words were actually somewhat against his conscience.
After all, Xuan Zi and Du Busi, two Level 98 Titled Douluo, had been unable to injure Level 99 Long Xiaoyao.
But Kong Deming had been able to use Soul Tools to heavily injure Ye Xishui, who was also Level 99.
Between the two, judging by battle records, Kong Deming truly had a slight edge.
"Senior Dugu, I have already answered your question. Then what is your answer?"
Seeing the two Super Douluo quiet down, Ye Ling finally asked Dugu Bo.
