A master chosen in advance?
"What!"
"It's that simple!?"
Qian Xunji listened carefully to Bibi Dong's report and couldn't help but be surprised.
He thought it would be a difficult task, but Lin Fan told him that it was simply a problem of not having proper guidance during the cultivation process.
"Yes." Bibi Dong reported truthfully, "That's what Lin Fan said: After Dugu Bo discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Dugu Bo Well, he relied on its unique environment to suppress the poison in his body, and he broke through to the Titled Douluo right there in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Therefore, according to Lin Fan, the toxins accumulated in Dugu Bo's body are too deep and too numerous. In order to successfully guide and induce the toxins to erupt and cause a backlash, the only way is to transfer the toxins within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Teacher, with Dugu Bo's poison skills, he is indeed suitable for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Perhaps he can even modify the outer ring of poisonous mist within Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Hmm, it can only be done in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Qian Xunji, a little worried that Dugu Bo would recognize the immortal Immortal Herb. "So Lin Fan really said that Dugu Bo doesn't know what Immortal Herb is?"
"Yes, teacher." Bibi Dong said with a smile, "Lin Fan laughed at Dugu Bo for having a treasure he didn't realize, which ultimately benefited Tang San."
"Furthermore, Lin Fan also mentioned another fundamental solution: to find a suitable Immortal Herb for Dugu Bo to consume, or for his descendants to use, to correct the defect of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison backfiring on itself."
"Haha..." Qian Xunji stood up happily, "I knew Lin Fan was the most important person in the Spirit Hall."
"Then let's follow Lin Fan's first method, which will address the symptoms first. As for the root cause, that depends on Dugu Bo's future attitude towards the Spirit Hall."
Yue Guan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Dugu Bo is arrogant and cannot be dealt with all at once. It's better to leave some room for maneuver."
He then looked at Bibi Dong and asked, "Saintess, you just said that Lin Fan was referring to a particular Immortal Herb suitable for Dugu Bo?"
Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "I don't understand. Lin Fan only mentioned a name, something like ' Earth Dragon Golden Melon,' which seems to grow in the ground."
Yue Guan lowered his head slightly and pondered for a moment, "Earth Dragon Golden Melon! It is indeed very suitable for Martial Soul like Dugu Bo's. The ancestral book records that this Immortal Herb absorbs the power of the earth veins, and the golden silk should be the dragon essence blood containing the power of the dragon after absorbing the power of the earth veins."
Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong looked at Yue Guan with blank expressions.
Yue Guan continued, "Your Majesty, Saintess, the conditions for the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are extremely demanding, and it was formed in the Sunset Forest at the foot of Heaven Dou City. I have pondered this for a long time."
"I suspect that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed precisely because it happens to be located at the core of the Heaven Dou Empire's dragon vein."
"The Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a fruit that has absorbed the power of the dragon vein."
Qian Xunji was delighted and said, "Great! Then we'll have Dugu Bo stay with Bing Luoli to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. And after Dugu Bo breaks through to the Titled Douluo, perhaps he can expand the poisonous fog outwards, leaving open space in the center to accommodate more cultivation areas."
He then changed the subject, saying, "Yue Guan, let Dugu Bo enter the palace."
"Yes."
Yue Guan left the main hall and went to a side hall to invite Dugu Bo.
Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong and said, "By the way, what has Lin Fan said about the wedding these past two days?"
Bibi Dong said with shame, "Teacher, Lin Fan wanted to participate, but I refused Lin Fan on the grounds of a special ritual in the village."
"Otherwise, with his current Mental Power, he would definitely hear other people's conversations. If he heard anything different from what was being said in his own village, Lin Fan would definitely realize what was going on."
Qian Xunji said helplessly, "I'm starting to feel reluctant to keep it a secret any longer. Sigh, I'll just keep it a secret for as long as I can."
"When my child is born, he will become Lin Fan's disciple. I believe Lin Fan will teach him well."
Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, what if it really is possible to awaken a child who can inherit the Angel God? What about Qian Renxue? Would the Grand Worshipper agree to that?"
Qian Xunji said through the channel, "Don't worry, based on Lin Fan's previous opinion of Qian Renxue, the Grand Worshipper won't stop him. After all, Lin Fan already has a clear idea of the wrong path Qian Renxue might take in the future."
Hearing Qian Xunji's decision, Bibi Dong didn't say anything more. "Alright, teacher, it's your decision."
"Furthermore, I believe that although Lin Fan currently lacks strength, his ability to foresee and understand us will at least save us from many detours under his guidance."
Qian Xunji laughed and said, "You think it's good too!"
Bibi Dong said, "This disciple will naturally support you; it all depends on how you, Master, persuade the Grand Worshipper."
Yue Guan then arrived at the side hall where Dugu Bo was.
Yue Guan stated frankly, "Dugu Bo, His Holiness the Pope pondered all night and has already decided how to arrange for you to be cured of the poison."
Yue Guan made no Lin Fan, instead saying that Qian Xunji had come up with the idea overnight.
Dugu Bo asked in surprise, "So soon? Wasn't it supposed to be after the wedding?"
Yue Guan smiled and said, "Because His Holiness the Pope felt that you were very anxious about this matter, he thought it best to come up with a solution first and then tell you His Holiness's method."
Dugu Bo asked doubtfully, "Would the Pope be so kind? Or is he just trying to fool me?"
"Hmph." Yue Guan sneered, "Are you questioning the Pope's abilities, or have you always felt that the Spirit Hall harbors ill intentions towards you?"
"That's the outdated impression you free Soul Master have of the Spirit Hall. Actually, joining the Spirit Hall, aside from having missions to carry out, is quite free as long as you don't violate the Spirit Hall's principles."
"Forget it, you won't listen to anything I say. Come with me to the palace and hear His Holiness the Pope to your problem. Until then, continue with your own ideas."
After Yue Guan finished speaking, he turned and left the room.
Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed. "Strange, could it be that I'm too prejudiced against the Spirit Hall? Qian Xunji's current style is quite different from the Spirit Hall's domineering approach."
"Fine, let him go to the palace. Let's hear how Qian Xunji plans to resolve my poison backlash problem."
After thinking it over, Dugu Bo followed Yue Guan and soon arrived at the Pope's Palace.
"Your His Holiness the Pope!" Dugu Bo clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Regardless, Qian Xunji was still the Pope, and a Titled Douluo.
"Dugu Bo," Qian Xunji said slowly, "I know that forcibly bringing you to the Spirit Hall headquarters this time has caused you resentment."
"I understand. After all, it was caused by coercing family members. If I were in that situation, I would also be angry and furious."
"Therefore, after you left the palace yesterday, I felt that I should first resolve your issue so that you would have no complaints. So, regarding your problem, I discussed it with several elders overnight and came up with a solution."
Dugu Bo clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then I am all ears."
Qian Xunji smiled confidently and explained Lin Fan's plan to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo was taken aback after hearing this, and repeated, "Using the unique environment of Sunset Forest to suppress the toxins in the body, and slowly transfer the toxins to the Soul Bone?"
"That's right," Qian Xunji said. "Do you have a Soul Bone Soul Bone? If not, I can give you one in advance."
Dugu Bo was taken aback upon hearing this.
They're giving us a Soul Bone in advance! Is the Spirit Hall really that generous?
