Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng

Yu Xiaogang treated Bibi Dong this way, and he treated Dugu Bo the same way.

Giving someone a beating before offering them a sweet reward was an utterly clichéd method of subjugation.

Clichéd, but effective.

Bibi Dong's attack had been the beating.

Next, it was time to offer Dugu Bo something sweet to soothe his emotions.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, Bibi Dong sneered. "Heh~ Dugu Bo, looks like you can keep barely clinging to life for a little longer."

The moment Yu Xiaogang spoke, Bibi Dong knew what he was thinking.

Dugu Bo was already half-dead anyway. If he refused, then he could die.

Dugu Bo was no fool. He now understood that both Bibi Dong and Yu Yuanzhen revolved around the White-haired Youth.

The youth even called Bibi Dong 'Dong'er.'

Even an idiot would know that this youth's relationship with Bibi Dong was anything but ordinary.

"Are you scared?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Dugu Bo wanted to slap himself.

Damn it, he was about to die, yet he was still stubbornly provoking them.

He had lived alone and arrogantly for years; his mouth was faster than his brain.

Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly. "Scared? You're the one who should be scared now."

"Your body is full of poison, and you were struck by Dong'er's Eternal Creation. You're already at the end of your rope."

"You have to suppress the spread of Eternal Creation's wound while reserving part of your Soul Power to suppress the toxins in your body. How much longer can you hold on?"

"!"

"?!"

"???"

The other three reacted differently.

Dugu Bo was shocked that the White-haired Youth had actually seen through him...

Yu Yuanzhen was shocked that Dugu Bo was severely poisoned. The Poison Douluo, famed for poison, had actually been poisoned?

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, was puzzled.

Poison? A poison wielder had been poisoned? Dugu Bo was really getting worse with age.

"How... how did you see it?" Dugu Bo was beginning to despair.

Was he really going to die here today?

Bibi Dong had hidden herself far too deeply...

Run? Leaving aside whether he could escape beneath Bibi Dong's watchful eye, even if he did get away, he would only live a little longer.

There was no difference.

"Is that important?" Yu Xiaogang asked in return.

"Hahaha... Yes. Is that important?"

"Even if I die, this old man will never let you..."

"I can cure it," Yu Xiaogang said calmly.

Just moments ago, he had joined forces with the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King to conduct a full-body Divine Sense scan of Dugu Bo.

He had found out exactly where Dugu Bo's problem lay.

"?" Dugu Bo's words came to an abrupt halt.

"As far as I know, few members of the Dugu Family have ever cultivated beyond Soul Emperor."

"They all died unnatural deaths. That is the common understanding outside."

"Until today, I also believed there was some other reason why your Dugu Family found it difficult to cultivate beyond Soul Emperor."

"But in truth, you died because of your own Martial Souls."

"Or, to be more precise, you died from Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison."

"!!!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened enormously.

He had never revealed this information to anyone.

The outside world did not even know about it.

"What exactly do you want?" Dugu Bo could not help asking.

Yu Xiaogang first looked at Bibi Dong. "Dong'er, dispel Eternal Creation's corrosive power. Otherwise, he might die in a moment."

Bibi Dong nodded and stepped forward. Ignoring Dugu Bo, who had become tense, she withdrew the corrosive power clinging to his wound.

Since Xiao Gang had said so, he naturally had his reasons.

If Xiao Gang said he could solve Dugu Bo's problem, then he definitely could.

She trusted Yu Xiaogang's knowledge and ability.

He could even obtain a Divine Trial for her. What could he not do?

She understood it perfectly well: the Dark God's willingness to choose her as an inheritor was largely because of Yu Xiaogang.

Otherwise, with her already undertaking the Rakshasa God Trial, it would have been impossible for the Dark God to bestow another Divine Trial upon her.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang look at Dugu Bo. "Dugu Bo, I want you to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and become a guest elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"..."

This time, Dugu Bo kept his mouth shut.

He also knew that, aside from death or joining them, he no longer had a third choice.

"What do I get?"

"A complete cure for your chronic ailment."

"Not enough. This old man only has a few years left to live anyway." Dugu Bo withdrew his poison pellet and shook his head.

Yu Xiaogang naturally understood what Dugu Bo meant.

He had even put away his poison pellet.

He wanted to secure more benefits for himself.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will not restrict your daily freedom. You can continue doing whatever you usually do."

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will also provide your share of cultivation resources."

Dugu Bo still shook his head. "I don't lack such a small amount of cultivation resources."

"If you want me to join your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as a guest elder, fine."

Dugu Bo stopped beating around the bush. "I know my own poison. Completely curing it is nearly impossible."

"I have a granddaughter named Dugu Yan. I hope you can help her resolve the issue of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison. I don't want her to walk my old path."

That was his only condition.

Although he did not know why it was the White-haired Youth rather than Yu Yuanzhen who was speaking, he knew that the youth held absolute authority.

Once he joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he could still come here to recuperate.

As long as Yan Yan's poison could be cured and her problem resolved, these old bones of his could continue protecting her until she grew up.

As a guest elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if anything happened to his granddaughter, could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan simply ignore it?

"If you truly have the ability to solve Yan Yan's problem, what does it matter if this old man joins your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

For his granddaughter, he was willing to submit to another.

"Solving Dugu Yan's problem is very simple."

Yu Xiaogang turned and returned to the central area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He swept his gaze around and chose his target.

Forming a hand from Soul Power, he plucked the herb and returned to the others. "She only needs to consume Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng."

Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng's roots resembled dense dragon whiskers, while its body looked like a tiny dragon curled up as if dead. Purple-gold radiance flowed across its surface, and it contained a trace of ancient true dragon aura.

"One medicinal herb can solve it? You must be joking, right?" Dugu Bo asked directly.

Yu Yuanzhen and Bibi Dong were puzzled by the same thing.

The three of them stared at Yu Xiaogang in unison, waiting for his explanation.

"This is no ordinary herb. It is a precious medicine that can be called an ultimate immortal treasure."

"Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng's main effect is to purify one's bloodline, return it to its ancestral origins, and cause Martial Soul Evolution."

"A snake becomes a flood dragon, a flood dragon becomes a true dragon. When consumed by a serpent-type Martial Soul, it likewise has a chance of causing Martial Soul Evolution."

"That is the first effect. The second is expanding the upper limit of Soul Power and lowering the difficulty of breaking through to Titled Douluo."

"The medicinal power must be guided by the Martial Soul and refined slowly. It cannot be interrupted. Once interrupted, it will trigger a severe backlash and heavily damage the Martial Soul."

"At the same time, the bloodline transformation process is incomparably painful, as though every bone and sinew in the body is being crushed. If one's mental will is not strong enough, the dragon nature contained within it will also affect their temperament, causing a drastic change in personality."

"Whether to use it or not, you and your granddaughter can decide for yourselves."

Yu Xiaogang took out a jade box, sealed the Purple-Gold Dragon Ginseng within it, and held it out before Dugu Bo.
