Don't Let Tang San Scam Dugu Bo (Please Bookmark!)

"They matched. Every single one matched."

Dugu Bo was incomparably shocked. The symptoms the person before him had described were exactly the same as when his poison flared up!

"Could what he said be true?"

By now, Dugu Bo believed seventy or eighty percent of what Lu Li had said.

At this point, if someone said Lu Li had merely guessed, Dugu Bo would find it hard to believe.

How could such precise symptoms of a poison outbreak possibly have been guessed?

"Do you truly have a way to cure the poison in my body?"

Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.

Forget completely removing the poison from his body—even if it could merely be reliably suppressed, he desperately wanted it.

Lu Li smiled as he looked at Dugu Bo before him.

He really was cautious, but that was only natural.

"I can, but I have conditions."

The moment he heard that, Dugu Bo immediately pictured himself serving this man like a beast of burden in the future, waiting on him like a servant.

He imagined himself being the first to charge forward as cannon fodder whenever danger arose.

"If what this man says is true, if he can remove the poison in my body and keep Yan Yan from suffering day and night from the Jade-Scaled Serpent Poison, then even sacrificing this old man's life would be worth it!"

Dugu Bo took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, determination gleamed within them.

He cupped his hands toward Lu Li. "So long as you can remove the poison in my body, then from this day onward, my life is yours. But I hope that before I die, you can let me see my granddaughter grow up safely. Would that be possible?"

Dugu Bo's voice was full of reluctance to part with his granddaughter. At that moment, he no longer looked like the solitary Poison Douluo.

Instead, he looked like a pitiful little old man with little time left, longing to see his granddaughter grow up.

Lu Li was somewhat dumbfounded.

He could not understand why Dugu Bo had suddenly become so sentimental.

Could Gold Soul Coins be that important to Dugu Bo?

Lu Li shook his head. Whether Gold Soul Coins were important to Dugu Bo or not, he was determined to get them!

No one could stop him!

"I'm not interested in your life. I only want Gold Soul Coins. Give me however many you have."

Lu Li's voice was filled with seriousness—more serious than anything he had said before.

Come on, I'm planning to live freely and happily once I have Gold Soul Coins. Is there anything more important than Gold Soul Coins right now?

He had no interest whatsoever in Dugu Bo's life. Dragon One and Little Yellow—weren't either of them stronger than Dugu Bo?

Dugu Bo stared blankly at Lu Li upon hearing this.

Gold Soul Coins? The Gold Soul Coins he thought took up too much space?

Dugu Bo subtly pinched his own stomach with both hands. Only after feeling pain did he confirm that this was not a dream.

If Gold Soul Coins could truly be exchanged for a method to remove the poison in his body, and he would not even have to give up his life first—

Then he was willing to take out every Gold Soul Coin he had! He would sell everything valuable on him for Gold Soul Coins and use them for the exchange!

If he ran out, he could just ask Prince Xue Xing for more.

When Lu Li saw that Dugu Bo had not spoken for a long time, he frowned.

Could Gold Soul Coins really be important to Dugu Bo?

"What, you're unwilling?"

"If you're unwilling, then forget it."

After saying that, Lu Li turned and prepared to leave.

Dugu Bo immediately panicked and hurriedly took a few quick steps to block Lu Li's path.

"I'm willing! I'm willing! Of course I'm willing! It's just that when you cure me, could you also cure my poor granddaughter?"

Dugu Bo asked cautiously. Afraid that Lu Li would refuse, he quickly added:

"If you're unwilling, you can name your price. So long as you can cure the poison in both my granddaughter and me, even if I have to sell everything I own, I'll definitely gather all the Gold Soul Coins you ask for!"

Lu Li nodded upon hearing that.

Wasn't it just adding Dugu Yan? No big deal!

Besides, treating Dugu Yan would be much easier than treating Dugu Bo!

"Give me however many Gold Soul Coins you have. Also, every year from now on, you must give me another one million Gold Soul Coins. If you miss even one year, then I can't guarantee whether the poison in your body will flare up again."

The latter half was naturally just Lu Li trying to scare Dugu Bo. His method was actually to have Dugu Bo consume Immortal Herbs.

After consuming the Immortal Herbs, even if Dugu Bo wanted the poison to flare up again, it would be utterly impossible.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately agreed.

He had no choice but to agree! This was simply too profitable for him!

Forget one million—even if it were three million or five million, Dugu Bo would agree without hesitation!

"Alright! But my Gold Soul Coins are all at my residence in Heaven Dou City. If you're willing, could you first remove the poison in my body, then return with me to collect the Gold Soul Coins?"

He usually did not keep Gold Soul Coins in his storage soul tool. It was filled with all sorts of poisons and medicinal herbs, so this was the only way.

Lu Li nodded. The process did not matter so long as the result was right.

He was not afraid that Dugu Bo would go back on his word and lure him to Heaven Dou City to trap him.

Still, Lu Li believed that Dugu Bo was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Tang San and Dugu Bo in the original story could serve as an example.

"Fine."

After agreeing, Lu Li turned around and headed toward the entrance to Dugu Bo's herb garden, the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

"Let's go. The key to resolving the poison in your body is in this valley."

Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled by Lu Li's words. He knew better than anyone what was in this valley.

He admitted that the place could indeed suppress the poison in his body, but he had searched within it before. There simply was no method there that could remove the poison from his body.

"Are you sure the key to resolving the poison in my body is in this valley?"

Dugu Bo quickly followed after him and asked doubtfully.

Lu Li nodded.

Dugu Bo was sitting atop a mountain of treasure without knowing it. In the end, Tang San had picked up a huge bargain for nothing and had even fooled him silly with that flawed method of detoxification.

Looking at it that way, Dugu Bo was rather pitiful.

"You don't need to call me 'sir.' It sounds awkward. Just call me Lu Li."

A seventy-something old man like Dugu Bo calling a six-year-old child like him "sir"—no matter how he looked at it, Lu Li was the one getting the short end of the stick!

Now that their deal had been settled, there was no way he would continue to ignore this issue.

Dugu Bo immediately came to a realization.

This powerful expert before him liked to disguise himself as a child. Naturally, he did not want others to address him as an old man!

Fortunately, he wasn't angered by this. I'll have to pay closer attention in the future.

Dugu Bo felt immensely relieved.

"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Lu Li."

After speaking, Dugu Bo carefully watched for a change in Lu Li's expression.

When he saw that Lu Li no longer wore that awkward look and instead had the corners of his mouth lift slightly, Dugu Bo finally relaxed.

After entering the valley, Lu Li found himself so captivated by the sight of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes that he could barely look away.

Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes possessed a strange beauty, standing here and seeing it with his own eyes still left him somewhat astonished.

Lu Li did not spend much time admiring the scenery of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. Scenery could be admired again and again; earning Gold Soul Coins was more important right now.

He walked straight toward a patch of earthy brown melons that contained a faint trace of dragon might.

Earth Dragon Golden Melons contained earth-element energy and a trace of dragon might.

If Dugu Bo consumed this Immortal Herb, the poison in his body could be completely resolved. Moreover, the poison born alongside his cultivation would not disappear, but would instead become Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Poison that he could control completely.

And if he was lucky, his Martial Soul might even evolve from a serpent into a flood dragon.

Lu Li casually plucked two Earth Dragon Golden Melons and tossed them to Dugu Bo.

"Eat them, and the poison in your body will be resolved. If you're lucky, your Martial Soul may even evolve from the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor into a flood dragon."

Dugu Bo accepted the two Earth Dragon Golden Melons Lu Li handed him, his expression solemn.

After discovering the medicinal herbs here, he had tried some himself, but that attempt had nearly cost him half his life!

"Lu Li, can these really be eaten?"

At a glance, Lu Li roughly understood that Dugu Bo had likely tried some of the medicinal herbs here, but he had eaten the wrong ones and suffered a backlash.

"They can. As long as you eat the right ones, they won't cause a backlash."

"And don't worry, this won't make your Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor Poison disappear."

After hearing that, Dugu Bo placed one Earth Dragon Golden Melon into his storage soul tool.

Whatever. Even if it's fake, could this little thing really take my life?

Although Dugu Bo could sense enormous energy within the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he did not believe it could kill a Title Douluo like him.

Dugu Bo swallowed an Earth Dragon Golden Melon in one bite, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing its energy.
