Conditions for Detoxification! Breaking Through to Soul King
Dugu Yan did not shout immediately, but waited several breaths until Ning Chengyi withdrew his gaze before quietly putting on her clothes.
"He had the desire to steal but not the guts; I called him grandpa."
Dugu Yan looked much better at this moment and said with a smile.
"Hmm." Ning Chengyi her words; he simply replied softly.
Dugu Yan stood by the window, looking at Dugu Bo at the gate of the courtyard, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears again.
Dugu Bo, standing outside the courtyard, was hunched over and pacing back and forth.
His withered hands were clenched tightly; the once domineering Poison Douluo had completely lost his sharp edge.
His gaze kept drifting up, and when he heard the door hinges click softly, he suddenly looked up and saw Dugu Yan smiling at him. The anxiety he had been suppressing instantly crumbled, and turbid tears welled up and streamed down his wrinkled cheeks.
When he saw Dugu Yan's face, which had regained some color, his throat tightened, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Finally, as she laughed, a few tears streamed down her face.
"Grandpa, that's enough."
Dugu Yan's words stirred up his usually calm heart once again.
Was his granddaughter really cured by that thief?
"Yes, it's here."
After replying, Dugu Bo wiped away his tears, nodded at her with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Dugu Yan saw her grandfather's whereabouts, and while she felt a pang of heartache, she also found it amusing.
That arrogant Poison Douluo was actually defeated by a mere teenager. Although it was largely due to my own actions, I still found it both funny and heartbreaking.
Dugu Bo walked up, pushed open the door, looked at Ning Chengyi sitting on the bed, frowned slightly, and had a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Grandpa... I'm all better, and..."
Seeing that her grandfather was somewhat displeased, Dugu Yan immediately diverted his attention and said...
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, walked to Dugu Yan's side, placed his hand on her inch-foot ruler, and with a slight shift of his Soul Power, he knew everything about his granddaughter.
"Okay, okay, there's really no more snake venom..."
"May God bless me Dugu Bo!"
As he spoke, tears welled up in Dugu Bo's eyes.
He didn't want to experience the pain of losing his grandson in his old age again.
Now that Dugu Yan has been cured, she is undoubtedly very happy, and even Ning Chengyi on the bed looks more pleasing to the eye.
Grandpa, I have some good news to tell you.
"What message?" At this moment, Dugu Bo had a cheerful smile on his face, showing no trace of his previous lifelessness, and asked happily.
"He said the snake venom in your body could also help."
"What?!"
One sentence left Dugu Bo utterly shocked.
The fact that Dugu Yan had been cured was enough to surprise him.
If this petty thief still has the ability to heal me, doesn't that mean his medical skills and methods of using poison are superior to mine?
At the same time, he thought of his injured right hand, which was still slightly numb. Moreover, the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom had no effect on this kid at all, which meant that he was naturally immune.
If that's really the case, then my granddaughter has truly found a treasure.
With this thought in mind, Dugu Bo was even happier, his smile impossible to hide, which made Dugu Yan frown slightly.
Because she hadn't seen her grandfather smile like that in a long time.
"Grandpa, what mischievous idea are you hatching now?"
"Hehe, no, no..."
After speaking, he looked towards where Ning Chengyi was.
Seeing Dugu Bo's strange expression, Ning Chengyi felt a chill run down his spine. This old man was scrutinizing him as if he were looking at a beautiful woman.
His eyes held a hint of... lewdness and ill intent.
"It's treatable, but there are a few conditions. I'll treat you if you agree to them."
In any case, the Second Martial Soul would never be exposed in front of Dugu Bo, but the treatment for this snake venom is actually quite simple.
"Don't even mention a few conditions, I'd agree to hundreds, provided you can cure my snake venom."
Dugu Bo was aware of his own situation.
The snake venom of his granddaughter was fundamentally different from his own.
His was the venom of a bloodline snake, while his granddaughter's was hereditary and not carried in her bloodline. However, without treatment, she would wither away at the age of thirty-one.
Therefore, when Dugu Yan stood by the window again, Dugu Bo's inner excitement was far more turbulent than it appeared on the surface.
"It's very simple. First, Dugu Yan is inside the room, and you are outside in the courtyard."
"Secondly, there's no guarantee of a cure, and at your damned age, you're relying entirely on your cultivation to stay alive, so the snake venom must be deeply ingrained, requiring multiple treatments."
Thirdly, I'll speak only after I've thought of something.
Ning Chengyi spoke calmly, Dugu Bo didn't say anything either. He just pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that's possible. But how will you treat me if I'm outside the yard?"
"The Spirit Hall is the most powerful force in the world. I was fortunate enough to witness a healing method there... the Suspended Thread Pulse Diagnosis '!"
The Spirit Hall did indeed include such a method in that secret record.
Moreover, it is most suitable now.
After all, he didn't want to reveal his Second Martial Soul to Dugu Bo.
If he finds out, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause.
He dared not gamble with people's hearts. Even if it exposed Dugu Yan's intentions, there was absolutely no need to do so.
"Let me show you how it works first." Dugu Bo nodded after hearing this and extended his hand to Ning Chengyi.
Ning Chengyi pretended to touch it for a while.
"The snake venom has penetrated into the bone marrow and cannot be completely eliminated in one treatment. It must be drawn out every seven days, and this process must be repeated dozens of times before it can be eradicated."
"Moreover, Dugu Yan is fundamentally different from you. Let's treat her first."
Ning Chengyi frowned and said in a serious tone.
Seeing his expression, Dugu Bo's face darkened. "You yourself can't even be sure about the potency of my poison?"
"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that there's too much," Ning Chengyi said calmly. "The poison has been lingering in the bones for decades; forcibly pulling it out will damage the meridians. Once every seven days is to loosen it up and let it surface; it can't be rushed."
Dugu Yan clutched the hem of her clothes, her heart clenching.
She remembered clearly what her grandfather looked like when he was poisoned.
Black lines crawled all over his neck, making it impossible to even condense his Soul Power.
She looked at Ning Chengyi, her eyes filled with an almost blind faith.
If he says he can cure it, then he definitely can.
"Grandpa, believe him."
Dugu Bo glanced at his granddaughter and nodded.
"As I just mentioned, you have a cable, right? Then I'll begin."
Dugu Yan searched for a moment and then handed the silver thread to Ning Chengyi.
Dugu Bo held the string in one hand and pulled it out, while Ning Chengyi held the other end.
Suspended Thread Pulse Diagnosis.
Three silver threads emerged from Ning Chengyi's fingertip and gently rested on Dugu Bo's wrist.
He closed his eyes, his Spiritual Soul Bone trembled slightly, and his Sea of Consciousness was as still as water.
Unseen by anyone, a faint pink light seeped quietly along the silver thread and entered Dugu Bo's body.
Dugu Yan only saw that Ning Chengyi's forehead was covered in fine sweat, and his silver hair was taut, like three strings that could break at any moment.
As night fell, the flames in the brazier inside the house were kept extremely low.
Dugu Yan glanced at Dugu Bo under the lamplight outside the courtyard from time to time, and saw that his breathing gradually became heavier, and the black lines on his neck had indeed faded by an inch.
Half an hour later, Ning Chengyi pulled up the silk thread, his face slightly pale.
"We've only drawn some out today. We'll come back in seven days."
Dugu Bo got up and stretched his shoulders and neck; the weight that had been pressing down on him for decades did indeed lighten a bit.
He stared at Ning Chengyi for a long time, then suddenly said, "In all my years, this is the first time I've been so thoroughly convinced by a junior. Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older."
Ning Chengyi bowed, stepped outside the door, and gently closed it.
In a corner where no one was watching, he quietly flipped his palm.
The snake venom that was drawn out did not fall to the ground, but instead turned into a wisp of gray-black mist, which was swallowed up by the Phantom Butterfly fluttering its wings deep within the Sea of Consciousness.
The Spirit Tide surged, and the Venomous Fiend Qi was crushed and refined between the butterfly wings, eventually transforming into pure Soul Power that flowed into the limbs and bones.
The bottleneck at level 49 shattered instantly at that moment.
Level 50, Soul King.
Ning Chengyi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
My Soul Power is sufficient; it's time to find my fifth Soul Ring.
