" Tian Heng, I've broken through!" Her voice trembled slightly.
Yu Tianheng walked to her side and hugged her tightly, feeling the new and stronger Soul Power fluctuations emanating from her, and was genuinely happy for her.
"I knew you could do it, Yanyan," he whispered in her ear, his words filled with pride.
Dugu Yan leaned against Yu Tianheng's chest, her cheeks slightly flushed, and a happy smile on her face.
This breakthrough brought her one step closer to her goal, and with Yu Tianheng by her side and providing support, she felt incredibly at ease.
The two embraced in the room filled with the joy of victory, as if nothing else in the world mattered to them, and only the two of them existed.
Yu Tianheng embraced Dugu Yan, his fingers stroking Dugu Yan purple hair.
Having read the original novel, he knew that Dugu Yan's unusual hair and eye colors were due to poisoning.
The poison she was ingested was from the Jade Phosphorus Snake, her own Martial Soul. She doesn't seem to be suffering any harm yet, but within ten years, she will succumb to the poison and die a gruesome death.
Even Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, was helpless against it, and he himself was poisoned.
According to the original novel, several years later, Tang San saved Dugu Bo by chance, and also saved Dugu Yan. The two became close friends despite their age difference. At the same time, the protagonist Tang San also obtained countless rare and precious materials in Dugu Bo's cultivation place, " Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ", and reaped a great harvest.
Now that he has transmigrated and become Yu Tianheng, and is in love with Dugu Yan, how could he let Tang San have this incredible opportunity? Of course, he should enjoy it all by himself!
At the same time, it is also important to befriend Dugu Bo.
Although his combat strength among Titled Douluo was at the bottom, he was still Titled Douluo after all, and he was quite capable in the early stages. In particular, his poison skills had the power to destroy cities and countries. If placed on the battlefield, they would be an unimaginable weapon of mass destruction.
Just as Yu Tianheng was pondering how to treat the deadly poison in Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, the system suddenly sent a notification: "The system has detected that the host has encountered the original character Dugu Yan. You can contact the important character Dugu Bo through her."
"A mission has been issued: within three years, resolve the deadly poison on Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, simultaneously control the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and sabotage the male protagonist's destiny. Successful completion will reward you with 50,000 Heavenly Mandate Points and unlock the main questline. Failure will result in the system issuing no further missions!"
Upon hearing this voice, Yu Tianheng shuddered with excitement.
Lying in his arms, Dugu Yan looked up in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Yu Tianheng quickly calmed himself, looked down at Dugu Yan, and smiled, "I was thinking, if your grandfather saw us hugging and cuddling like this, he might kill me on the spot. Just thinking about it makes me a little scared, and I trembled involuntarily!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of Tian Heng too."
"The titled Poison Douluo, renowned for his poisons, kills without blinking an eye—how could I not be afraid?"
"Snort!"
Dugu Yan snorted lightly, "Grandpa loves me the most. As long as I'm around, he wouldn't dare treat you like that. Of course, if you upset me, that's another story."
Yu Tianheng quickly replied, "How could I possibly upset you? You know, I like you the most, and I wish I could be with you every day."
As he spoke, he hugged Dugu Yan's delicate body tightly.
Dugu Yan also hugged Yu Tianheng tightly.
The two of them remained embracing each other.
After an unknown amount of time, the two who had been embracing finally separated.
After escorting Dugu Yan back to her dormitory, Yu Tianheng returned to his own residence.
Although he and Dugu Yan have established a romantic relationship, and their relationship has grown closer over time, so far, they have only been limited to physical contact, such as hugging and holding hands. As for more intimate behavior, they have both restrained themselves.
To be honest, Dugu Yan is not fifteen or sixteen years old yet; she is still a young girl, so Yu Tianheng still has some reservations.
After returning to his dormitory alone, Yu Tianheng pondered the tasks released by the system.
The most crucial point is how to resolve the poisoning caused by the powerful venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul within the bodies of Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan.
In the original storyline, the protagonist Tang San used his knowledge of poison from the Tang Sect from his previous life, along with his own abilities, to help Dugu Bo detoxify. It seems that he forced all the poison in Dugu Bo's body into a Soul Bone, thus preserving his poison skills without causing him to be poisoned himself.
The same principle applies to the treatment of Dugu Yan.
Although the operation seemed simple, Yu Tianheng was unclear about the specifics of how to implement it.
Because he had no knowledge of poisons or the medicinal properties of herbs.
If someone were to swagger off to see Dugu Bo based solely on what they read in the original story in their previous life, claiming they could cure his poison, that would be utter nonsense and completely unrealistic.
Therefore, he must first understand the pharmacology and toxicity of various herbs to better deal with Dugu Bo's problems. Secondly, it will be beneficial for him to use the various rare and precious materials in the " Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well " to improve his cultivation.
With this thought in mind, Yu Tianheng opened the system store and searched for records on this subject.
After a series of operations.
Yu Tianheng found a classic book called " The Medicine Classic " in the System Shop, which records various medicinal materials in the world and their medicinal properties.
Priced at 5000 Heavenly Mandate Points, it's comparable to some Earth Rank cultivation techniques.
Yu Tianheng bought it.
With the payment successful, an ancient book appeared in Yu Tianheng's hands, with the words " Medicine Classic " written in large characters on the cover.
The opening page reads, "The study of alchemy originated in ancient times, aiming to seek longevity and refine elixirs. Herbs are the essence of nature and the foundation of life."
The fusion of these two elements creates a wondrous art. This book compiles the experiences of alchemists and physicians throughout history, detailing the use of medicinal materials and the methods of alchemy. It is hoped that those destined to read it in the future will cherish and study it, so as to glimpse the mysteries of life.
Then comes the table of contents; this " Medicine Classic " is divided into two parts.
The first part is about medicinal materials, which records various rare medicinal materials in the world, including their properties, types, effects, and appearances, all in great detail.
The next section is about alchemy. Different medicinal materials can be selected and refined into pills through certain techniques. Consuming these pills can improve cultivation, heal injuries, and detoxify. Because of the different ages and rarity of the medicinal materials, the pills produced are also divided into different grades.
They are roughly divided into four grades: low-grade pills, medium-grade pills, high-grade pills, and top-grade pills.
The contents of the " Medicine Classic " are rich and cannot be understood overnight. Therefore, in the days that followed, Yu Tianheng stayed in his room and devoted himself to studying this ancient book. He rarely went out. Several times, Dugu Yan came to his door to ask him to cultivate, but Yu Tianheng sent her away on the pretext of cultivation.
