Dugu Bo leaned against the stone wall and watched the whole scene from beginning to end, then chuckled.

The laughter came from his nose; he crossed his arms, tilted his head, and a glint flashed in his vertical pupils.

"Is that all? You call that kneading dough? The bowl broke before the dough was even kneaded properly."

Yu Xiaogang turned his head and glanced at him.

That glance was expressionless, but when Dugu Bo met that gaze, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

He loosened his grip on his arms, straightened his back, and said in a slightly weaker tone, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze back. "Ye Lin needs to train his strength control. Perfect timing, I'm not going out either. Could you prepare some basins for him?" He paused, then added, "Prepare plenty."

Dugu Bo's lips twitched twice.

He lowered his arms and put both hands into his sleeves.

Are you kidding me?

"Prepare more? If we're using earthenware basins, wouldn't we need hundreds of thousands of basins to control him properly? Where am I supposed to get those? Do you think I run a kiln?"

"It's better to use a sturdier one and start practicing from scratch."

Yu Xiaogang glanced down at the two broken pottery basins on the ground, then at Ye Lin's hands still covered in flour, and considered for a moment.

He spoke up, "Then go to the Strength Clan and ask Tai Tan to make you the sturdiest basin."

He should have the materials. Practice with them first, and then change to something else once you've practiced enough.

Dugu Bo remained silent for a moment.

"That's fine."

He turned around, his turquoise robe swaying in the valley breeze, and with a leap, he transformed into a streak of turquoise light, disappearing into the direction of the valley entrance.

As darkness fell, Dugu Bo descended from the valley entrance.

In his left hand he carried a heavy, dark iron basin.

He placed the iron basin on the stone platform in front of Ye Lin. The bottom of the basin hit the stone with a dull thud, and a thin crack appeared on the stone platform.

He clapped his hands.

"Tai Tan heard that it was what I wanted, he didn't say a word and just gave me a piece of Meteoric Iron to chip this into."

"Very sturdy."

You can't break it even if you smash it.

"..."

It shouldn't break unless you smash it hard.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"Where's my medicine? I need to take it."

Yu Xiaogang took out a jade bottle from his Storage Soul Tool and tossed it to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo caught the bottle, uncorked it, tilted his head back, and drank it down. Then he sat cross-legged by the spring, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his Soul Power.

This time, he sensed more than just the toxins loosening.

The tingling and itching sensation in my ribs had subsided considerably, and the pricking pain had also lessened significantly.

The golden scales of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor deep within the Martial Soul were a fraction brighter than the night before, and another crack appeared in the barrier within the dantian.

When he opened his eyes, the expression on his face was much more relaxed than the night before. The Antidote really worked. That felt damn good.

Just then, a voice rang out from outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The sound came in from the direction of the valley entrance.

"Dugu Bo, I've come to make a deal with you!"

When the voice outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell, the three people in the valley stopped moving at the same time.

Ye Lin squatted by the stone platform, his hands still pressed against the dark iron basin.

Yu Xiaogang sat cross-legged by the spring, cultivating.

Dugu Bo sat cross-legged by the spring, having just finished absorbing the antidote.

Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes.

Others might not know Tang San's purpose in coming here, but how could he not know?

You came here to collect Immortal Herb, but unfortunately, you're too late.

I've already given Ye Lin everything that was edible, and I've put away everything that wasn't. Even if you were to get in, there wouldn't be any more Immortal Herb here.

Dugu Bo stood up from the ground and patted the grass blades off his clothes.

He tilted his head slightly towards the valley entrance. "I'll go out and take a look."

He strode towards the valley entrance, his green robe fluttering in the night wind, before disappearing behind the corner of the stone wall.

Tang San stood outside the Poison Formation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He wore a white long robe, the collar and cuffs neatly trimmed, and his hair was also neatly combed.

He stood with his hands behind his back on a protruding rock at the edge of the Poison Formation, his chin slightly raised, his gaze fixed straight ahead towards the valley entrance.

He stood very steadily, exuding an air of superiority.

Dugu Bo emerged from the Poison Formation and stopped three steps away from Tang San.

He crossed his arms, tilted his head, and his gaze swept from Tang San's face to his feet, then back again. A glint flashed in his vertical pupils.

"So you're the one who addresses me by my given name?"

Tang San nodded.

He pulled his hands out from behind his back and let them hang at his sides.

"I'm here to make a deal with Your Majesty."

What transaction?

"I'll help you detoxify! Your Majesty, you've already been poisoned."

"What a joke. My poison would poison myself? I'm seventy-eight years old this year, and I've always been the one poisoning others, never the other way around."

Tang San scoffed disdainfully in his heart.

"As expected, although they didn't capture me this time, they captured Ye Lin instead, but Dugu Bo said the exact same lines."

"So it's safe. The Immortal Herb will still easily be mine."

Tang San's thoughts echoed in Dugu Bo's mind.

Dugu Bo was stunned. How did the kid make a sound without opening his mouth?

And what does it mean that he wasn't captured in the previous life?

"Kid, what did you say?"

Tang San was also taken aback for a moment, thinking to himself,

No, I haven't said anything yet.

"Could it be that Dugu Bo, that idiot, has gone deaf?"

"Never mind, let's just keep talking about what we did in our previous life."

Dugu Bo was stunned when he heard Tang San's voice.

Why does Tang San seem so strange?

He's acting strangely. Could he be mentally challenged, or even schizophrenic? How can someone say two different things, as if the second thing is being said to himself?

If Dugu Bo hadn't been completely bewildered at that moment, he would have slapped Tang San to death upon hearing Tang San's insults.

Tang San spoke up.

"Your Majesty,"

"Do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your rib area when it's cloudy or rainy? And does it gradually intensify?"

It occurs once at noon and once at midnight.

"Given your current condition, each session should last at least an hour."

"Also, every night, around the third watch of the night, you experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet."

"Full-body spasms lasted for at least half an hour."

"I don't need to describe that excruciating pain, do I?"

"If it weren't for poisoning, would these symptoms appear?"

"You've not only been poisoned, but the poison has seeped into your very bones."

"Moreover, the poison you've been afflicted with is something that Soul Power simply cannot suppress."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips, and added the last sentence, "And I, just happen to be able to cure your poison."
