Poison Douluo's Terms

Upon hearing the words "herb gathering," Dugu Bo's face immediately darkened.

"Kid, you've got quite an appetite."

Tang San did not retreat.

"I can help alleviate your poisoning, and I can also help Dugu Yan recover. Exchanging some of the herbs in the Medicine Garden this is a good deal."

Dugu Bo sneered.

How do you prove it?

Tang San took out the Silver Needle.

"Senior experiences pain in his chest, ribs, and head every day at midnight and noon. It's worse on rainy days. Dugu Yan is still young, and the backlash hasn't reached the level of yours yet, but if she continues to cultivate like this, she'll inevitably follow the same path sooner or later."

Dugu Bo's gaze grew increasingly cold.

He hated it most when people said that Dugu Yan would be in trouble.

But Tang San's prediction was too accurate.

Yuan Yu stood to the side, not saying a word.

This is Tang San's turn.

Tang San continued, "I dare not say I can cure it immediately, but I can alleviate the symptoms first. Senior, give me time, and I will prepare the medicine for you, and also leave a mild prescription for Dugu Yan."

Dugu Bo stared at him.

"If you're lying to me?"

Tang San said, "Do as you see fit."

Yuan Yu coughed.

"This 'hands-off' policy does not include murder."

Dugu Bo looked at him.

"He said it himself."

"He said he could do whatever he wanted with him, but he didn't say he could kill him."

Tang San glanced at Yuan Yu.

Dugu Bo suddenly smiled.

"You're quite protective of them."

Yuan Yu laughed and said, "I have few friends, it would be a shame to lose one."

Dugu Bo raised his hand.

A drop of emerald green venom hung on the fingertip.

"Since you understand poisons, acknowledge this first."

Tang San did not reach out to touch it.

He took out a small piece of white jade from his waist, caught the venom, and then sprinkled three kinds of medicinal powder to the side.

The first type of powder turned black.

The second type of powder emitted a thin wisp of smoke.

The third type of powder only turned slightly green and did not crack.

Tang San's gaze hardened. "Senior, this poison is domineering, but its root cause isn't just external poison. The toxicity has already intertwined with Soul Power and meridians. Forcibly detoxifying it will damage your foundation."

Dugu Bo stared at the piece of white jade. "Then you still dare to say you can cure it?"

"I'm talking about alleviating the symptoms, and then gradually guiding the baby out."

Tang San placed the white jade on the stone. "Senior's biggest problem right now is that the poison has nowhere to go. Dugu Yan hasn't reached that point yet, so she's easier to control."

Dugu Bo's fingers tightened. "What will happen to Yanyan?"

Tang San didn't give a definitive answer, "If she doesn't change, the backlash will only get worse. She can suppress it with her Soul Power now, but that might not be the case in the future."

Dugu Bo's face turned completely cold. Yuan Yu also stopped smiling. Dugu Bo might not care about himself, but he would never gamble with Dugu Yan.

With a flick of his sleeve, Dugu Bo unleashed a wisp of emerald-green poisonous gas straight toward Tang San's face.

Tang San's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track under his feet, sliding three feet to the side.

The poisonous gas grazed past his shoulder. Tang San flicked his wrist and threw out three Silver Needle. Dugu Bo didn't dodge; the poisonous gas swirled in front of him, and the Silver Needle fell to the ground.

"Not bad for Hidden Weapons."

Tang San flicked his wrist, and several more points of cold light appeared. The cold light avoided Dugu Bo and landed at the edge of the poisonous mist. The Silver Needle, carrying medicinal powder, exploded, and a crack was forced open in the poisonous mist.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and Tang San seized the opportunity to slip in, striking Dugu Bo's wrist with a needle. Dugu Bo raised his hand to grab it, drawing his Yuan Yu Sun Wheel Blade, the scabbard positioned between the two.

"Senior, testing is fine, but please don't hurt my pharmacist."

Dugu Bo's palm landed on the scabbard, and a surge of Titled Douluo Soul Power down. The stone beneath Yuan Yu's feet cracked, and the Rock Pattern lit up, but he did not retreat.

Five Spirit Ring rose in succession: water, fire, lightning, wind, and rock. Although Rosy Cloud Pattern had no Spirit Ring, it shone with a faint light on the blade.

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes. "Level 56, dare you take a single blow from me?"

"Try it."

Dugu Bo unleashed a palm strike, sending poisonous gas along the scabbard towards Yuan Yu's wrist. Yuan Yu shifted his Wind Pattern, taking a half-step back, and Thunder Pattern crackled along the back of the blade, dispersing the poisonous gas with the Lightning Flash.

Dugu Bo's second palm strike followed immediately, this one even heavier. Yuan Yu pressed down with his sword sheath, and Rock Pattern braced himself on the ground.

"Stone Breathing - First Form"

"Serpent-Pattern Rock Dual Extremes"

Two streams of Rock Pattern Soul Power spread out from beneath his feet, forcefully supporting the palm strike.

Yuan Yu's shoulders slumped, but a smile still lingered on his lips.

"Senior, if you push any harder, I'm going to call for Senior Ling Yuan."

A flash of Fire Feather appeared in the distance, Ling Yuan said coldly, "Try calling out one."

Dugu Bo withdrew his hand. "Useless."

Yuan Yu rubbed his wrist. "Being unable to defeat Titled Douluo means you're spineless? Senior, your standards are really high."

Dugu Bo glanced at his palm. He hadn't used his full strength in those two attacks, but Yuan Yu hadn't used his Sixth Spirit Ring either; to be precise, he didn't even have Sixth Spirit Ring.

Level 56, Five-Ring Soul King, he withstood two tests from Titled Douluo and still managed to crack a joke. Dugu Bo had never seen such a monster in all his years of life.

He suddenly raised his hand and struck out for the third time. The third strike was not powerful, but the poison gas was contained within a thin line, Tang San's expression changed.

The poisoned needle didn't aim for a vital spot; instead, it burrowed into the gaps in Yuan Yu's Soul Power.

Yuan Yu's gaze sharpened, and the Rosy Cloud Pattern lit up.

"Mist Breathing - First Form"

"Sky-Hanging Distant Rosy Clouds."

A pale, shimmering light spread across the blade, revealing three shadows of poisoned needles within the Rosy Glow. Two of them were feints, which Yuan Yu ignored, his scabbard aimed only at the middle one.

Bite.

The poisoned needle was deflected and embedded itself in the adjacent stone wall. The stone wall made a soft sound and a small, dark hole appeared.

Dugu Bo's expression changed. "Can this move see through the illusion?"

Yuan Yu sheathed his sword. "Can you tell which blow hurt the most?"

Dugu Bo snorted, "Slippery."

In those few breaths, Tang San had already discerned Dugu Bo's aura and actions.

"Senior, your poison can be alleviated with medicine first, and then we'll find a way to get it out. We can't delay any longer with Dugu Yan; the sooner we treat her, the better."

Dugu Bo was silent for a moment, then asked, "Which herbs do you want to collect?"

Tang San said, "I will make a list, and I will not damage the roots of the herbs or pick them indiscriminately."

Yuan Yu added, "I'm watching him. He's really acting recklessly. I'll hit him first."

Tang San said calmly, "You can't beat my Hidden Weapons."

"I have Wine Gourd."

That's wine, not a shield.

"It can also block when necessary."

Dugu Bo, his head throbbing from their arguing, said, "Enough!"

He pointed to the Medicine Garden: "Seven days. Within seven days, you will prepare and gather herbs. If you dare to destroy my Medicine Garden, I will bury both of you here."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he paused for a moment. He hadn't allowed outsiders to stay in the Medicine Garden for many years, but Tang San could detect poisons, Yuan Yu could guard the field, and more importantly, Dugu Yan couldn't wait.

Yuan Yu smiled, "Thank you, senior."

Tang San also bowed.

Before turning to leave, Dugu Bo glanced back at Yuan Yu and said, "Let me see your sword again in seven days."

Yuan Yu picked up his Wine Gourd: "Want to take this? Want some extra money?"

Dugu Bo flicked his sleeve, causing Tang San to slip and nearly fall into the Herb Garden. Tang San silently straightened a herb and then smoothed down the loose soil beside it.

The Seven-Day Garden Watch begins now. At the edge of the Ice and Fire Spring, layers of cold and hot mist still rise outwards, and the fragrance of herbs on the Stone Platform is also blown away.
