As for how Dugu Bo explained it, it was actually quite simple: he said that these were the medicinal herbs needed to detoxify him.
Whether he believes it or not is his business.
That's the situation.
Moreover, these Immortal Herb have grown in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for so long, yet Dugu Bo has never harvested or used them, which shows that he himself is not so clear about the specific effects of these Immortal Herb.
Even if Dugu Bo discovers something is wrong afterward, as long as I successfully resolve his symptoms of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison venom backlash, he'll have to thank me and won't hold a grudge over a few immortal Immortal Herb.
After obtaining the items, Yu Tianheng began to think about how to solve Dugu Bo's poisoning problem.
In the original storyline, the protagonist Tang San helped Dugu Bo resolve the poison in his body.
Tang San first directly consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, thus gaining an invulnerable body to water and fire, and the blood flowing through his body had the effect of being immune to all poisons, while also being able to detoxify most of the world's deadly poisons.
Afterwards, he secretly dripped a few drops of his own blood into the medicine and had Dugu Bo take it to temporarily suppress the deadly poison in Dugu Bo's body. Then he had Dugu Bo find a Soul Bone to use as a host and force the poison in Dugu Bo's body into the Soul Bone. In this way, he would not be harmed and could retain his original poison skills.
To be honest, Yu Tianheng could also do this method, since he had used those two Immortal Herb, and he first refined them into pills before consuming and purifying them.
The effect was far better than if Tang San had swallowed it directly.
But Yu Tianheng didn't want to do that, because he had a better way.
If Dugu Bo uses his method, not only will he be able to detoxify, but he will also be able to completely control the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison. His strength will also increase by leaps and bounds in the future, completely shedding the title of the weakest Titled Douluo, and he won't even need Soul Bone.
It's important to know that Soul Bone are quite rare; you can't just get them by killing a few Soul Beast.
If Dugu Bo were to retrieve the Soul Bone now, it would likely take a considerable amount of time.
Instead of going through all that trouble, it's better to use our own methods.
Inside the villa, Dugu Bo was diligently studying the " Medicine Classic " given to him by Yu Tianheng.
They watched it with great interest, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Dugu Bo finally finished reading the entire " Medicine Classic ". The contents of the book benefited him greatly and gave him a new understanding of pharmacology.
This will be of great help to his future cultivation of poison skills.
Even if Yu Tianheng didn't successfully detoxify him this time, the fact that he was willing to lend him this " Medicine Classic " was enough to make him feel indebted to him.
And it's the kind of debt that's difficult to repay.
"Fine." Dugu Bo closed the book, a complex look flashing in his eyes. "Consider this a huge favor I owe you, young man. I'll find a way to repay you later."
"Even if you have done me a great favor, if you betray Yan'er, I will not let you off the hook."
With this thought in mind, Dugu Bo got up and left the villa, heading to the medicine garden to see how Yu Tianheng was preparing and whether he had the ability to cure the poison he had been afflicted with.
Even if he couldn't cure it, it didn't matter. After reading the " Medicine Classic," Dugu Bo's understanding of pharmacology had improved significantly. Combined with his past experience, suppressing the toxins in his body and alleviating his symptoms was not a difficult task.
Therefore, Dugu Bo is now very open-minded.
Upon arriving at the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo saw Yu Tianheng cultivating, so he quickly stepped forward.
Upon hearing the noise, Yu Tianheng opened his eyes and saw that the person who came was Dugu Bo. Yu Tianheng stopped cultivating and got up to greet him.
Dugu Bo asked, "Three days have passed, have you refined the elixir needed for the antidote?"
Yu Tianheng nodded, then took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo took the porcelain bottle, paused slightly, and asked, "What kind of pill is this?"
" The Hundred Herbs Poison-Dispelling Pill requires the essence of a hundred precious herbs to neutralize toxins and gently resolve toxicity in the body," Yu Tianheng explained.
Dugu Bo suddenly realized why he had noticed a lot of missing medicinal herbs along the way; they had been used to refine elixirs.
He did not suspect that Yu Tianheng was embezzling funds and picking herbs from the natural medicinal garden for his own use. Firstly, he had indeed seen an introduction to the " Hundred Herbs Poison-Dispelling Pill " when reading the " Medicine Classic ". It was true that hundreds of rare herbs were needed to refine the essence of the pill.
Secondly, Yu Tianheng did not possess any storage-type Soul Tool, making it impossible to effectively store the harvested medicinal herbs. Furthermore, the more precious the medicinal herbs, the more they needed to be properly stored in a specific way after harvesting, otherwise they could not be stored for long. Since Yu Tianheng did not possess any storage-type Soul Tool, he naturally would not harvest them indiscriminately.
Moreover, Yu Tianheng and Yan'er have a close relationship. Even if Yu Tianheng secretly took a few herbs for his own use, Dugu Bo would only turn a blind eye and not expose him.
After all, he had acquired this natural medicinal garden for free, and it contained countless rare herbs. Losing a few plants was no big deal, so there was no need to fuss over it.
Dugu Bo lightly tapped the porcelain bottle with his knuckles, his frosty white finger bones gleaming coldly in the dim light.
The moment the stopper popped out, a perfectly round " Hundred Herbs Poison-Dispelling Pill " rolled into his palm. The white frost on the surface of the pill swirled and moved with the movement, as if it were alive. He lowered his eyes and stared at the pill, his body trembling.
"This is the Hundred Herbs Poison-Dispelling Pill? It looks so ordinary. Can it really cure the poison in my body? Could this kid have just casually concocted a pill to fool me?"
Dugu Bo thought to himself, just in case, he did not swallow it directly.
Instead, he slowly raised the pill to his nose and smelled it.
Dugu Bo was a master of poisons and also had a deep understanding of pharmacology. He could basically determine whether something was poisonous just by smelling it.
After Dugu Bo learned about it...
A strange medicinal fragrance suddenly exploded in his nostrils. At first, it smelled like the rich aroma of a thousand-year-old ginseng, but upon closer inspection, it was enveloped in the cool scent of cedar, and the aftertaste was even sweet and pungent like the saliva of a poisonous snake.
Dugu Bo's body trembled violently, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison coiled within his body surged instantly, but the moment he touched the fragrance of the medicine, it was as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
The toxins that were originally rampaging through the meridians were strangely frozen for half a breath.
Dugu Bo was shocked. He hadn't expected the pill to be so potent. He hadn't even taken it yet, but just by smelling it, he could feel the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in his body being suppressed.
If he takes this, it might really cure the poison he's been afflicted with.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo pinched the Hundred Herbs Poison-Dispelling Pill, put it in his mouth, and as he swallowed it, the pill transformed into a stream of heat that flowed straight into his abdomen.
The pill took effect in just a short while after being ingested.
The dark green poisonous miasma that had been lurking in his meridians due to the backlash from his own Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, suddenly trembled, and the sweet, metallic scent that had been surging in his chest abruptly froze. The green patterns formed by the venom began to fade rapidly from his neck.
