If taking the pulse still doesn't resolve the poisoning, then so be it.
But if there's a solution, that would be a pleasant surprise.
So Dugu Bo extended his hand, indicating that Yu Tianheng could take his pulse.
Yu Tianheng placed his hand on Dugu Bo's pulse, infused it with a trace of Soul Power, and closed his eyes to sense it.
To be honest, although Yu Tianheng had studied the " Medicine Classic," this was his first time taking someone's pulse, and he couldn't figure anything out.
He just put on a convincing act, and even Dugu Bo believed him.
After a moment, Yu Tianheng spoke, "Senior, whenever it's cloudy or rainy, do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your ribs, which gradually intensifies and lasts for more than an hour, occurring once each at noon and midnight? And every night, around the third watch of the night, do you experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet, along with spasms throughout your body, lasting for at least half an hour?"
Yu Tianheng described Dugu Bo's symptoms.
Dugu Bo was greatly surprised and quickly asked, "How did you know?"
"Of course, I figured it out by taking your pulse," Yu Tianheng said, feigning nonchalance.
In fact, he knew it from the original novel. He had a deep impression of this part of the story when he read it in his previous life, so he remembered it.
However, Dugu Bo believed it without a doubt, because the symptoms Yu Tianheng described were almost exactly the same as his own. He could not tell anyone about his own condition, not even Dugu Yan. He had never met Yu Tianheng before, so his ability to see through it all showed that he was quite capable.
Dugu Bo asked, "Since you know about this, do you have a way to resolve it?"
Yu Tianheng withdrew his hand, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "This junior might have a way to cure the deadly poison you have been afflicted with, but certain conditions need to be met."
"What are the conditions?" Dugu Bo's expression turned extremely serious and his attitude became solemn.
He stood up completely.
He couldn't help but take it seriously, because he had been tormented by this poison so terribly, and now, as long as there was even a glimmer of hope to resolve it, he would not give up.
Yu Tianheng said, "To cure your poison, senior, I need to refine a pill using several medicinal herbs. Therefore, the herbs are of utmost importance, and they must be extremely rare, the kind that is seldom seen in the world."
"Therefore, without sufficient medicinal herbs, it's like a skilled cook trying to cook without rice; even with my superb medical skills, there's nothing I can do."
"Rare medicinal herbs?" Dugu Bo nodded. "That's easy. I have a mansion in the center of Sunset Forest, surrounded by a natural medicinal garden containing countless rare herbs of excellent quality. I think it will have what you need."
"However, it is getting late today, so you should rest first. Tomorrow I will personally take you to the other courtyard so you can find the medicinal herbs you need."
"Okay." Yu Tianheng agreed, overjoyed.
It wasn't in vain that he spent so much time persuading Dugu Bo; finally, they could go to the secret place called " Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ".
In the original novel, the protagonist Tang San obtained quite a few good things from it.
But now that he has pointed out Dugu Bo's symptoms in advance and gained his trust, these opportunities will belong to Yu Tianheng.
However, while he would benefit from the situation, he would not harm Dugu Bo. Instead, he would find a way to solve Dugu Bo's problems and help him improve his strength.
That can be considered compensation.
The next morning, Dugu Bo arrived at Yu Tianheng's residence. After a brief discussion, he headed to Sunset Forest.
On the way, they encountered Dugu Yan, who had come looking for Yu Tianheng.
Upon learning that Dugu Bo was going to take Yu Tianheng away, Dugu Yan was puzzled. "Grandpa, where are you going?"
Dugu Bo naturally couldn't tell Dugu Yan the truth directly. After thinking for a moment, he found an excuse to reply, "Yesterday, Yu Tianheng talked to me about Martial Soul cultivation. He said he's reached a critical stage in his cultivation and needs the Thousand-Year Purple Heart Orchid to strengthen his foundation."
"This medicinal herb is extremely rare and cannot be found anywhere else. It only grows in the Sunset Forest. Moreover, the Purple Heart Orchid cannot be stored for long after it is picked and must be taken on the spot. Therefore, Grandpa has decided to take Yu Tianheng there in person."
"You should focus on your cultivation at the academy. I'll come see you again in a while."
He then tried to pull Yu Tianheng away.
Yu Tianheng knew that Dugu Bo was just making excuses to fool Dugu Yan, so he said, "That's right, Yanyan, Senior Dugu Bo thinks I have good talent for cultivation and wants to give me some pointers. This is a good thing. Don't overthink it. Just focus on your cultivation and wait for me to come back."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was quite surprised. She knew that this was the first time Yu Tianheng and her grandfather had met, and she had assumed that, given her grandfather's temperament, he would mostly dislike and suppress Yu Tianheng. She never expected that they would get along so well.
That's unbelievable.
However, since things had already happened, Dugu Yan was happy to see it happen and nodded, "In that case, you should hurry up and go, and come back as soon as possible."
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Bo nodded in agreement and then set off for Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo was Titled Douluo with powerful cultivation and unparalleled speed. Even with Yu Tianheng in tow, he traveled very quickly.
Several hours later, the two arrived at Sunset Forest.
However, it is still some distance from where Dugu Bo cultivates and resides.
So the two continued on their journey.
As dusk settled, a damp mist filled the forest. Dugu Bo walked ahead with his hands behind his back, his aged figure casting a long shadow in the moonlight. Yu Tianheng followed closely behind, the silhouettes of Soul Beast appearing and disappearing in the tranquil Sunset Forest.
Moreover, their cultivation levels are not low, most of them have several thousand years of cultivation, and there are also many Soul Beast with tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
If Yu Tianheng were alone, he would need to be extremely careful to survive in such a place; otherwise, he could easily be devoured by a powerful Soul Beast.
But right now, with Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo- level powerhouse, in charge, no foolish Soul Beast dares to bother us.
Upon sensing the aura emanating from Dugu Bo, everyone consciously made way for him.
After traveling quickly through the Sunset Forest for half an hour...
Dugu Bo suddenly stopped and raised his hand to push aside the drooping vines.
"It's just ahead."
A rustic courtyard came into view, its green tiles and white walls bearing the marks of time. In the courtyard, a medicinal garden was planted with rare herbs, which emitted a strange glow in the night.
Yu Tianheng looked around and realized that this was Dugu Bo's villa in Sunset Forest. In that case, the " Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," one of the three treasure basins, should be not far from the villa.
"Let's go inside," Dugu Bo said, pushing open the gate to the courtyard.
Yu Tianheng followed closely behind and stepped inside.
Instead of immediately taking Yu Tianheng to the natural medicinal garden to find the necessary herbs, Dugu Bo found Yu Tianheng a place to stay so he could rest for the night and recharge.
The next day, Yu Tianheng got up early. Dugu Bo didn't waste any words and took Yu Tianheng there directly.
