First Meeting with Dugu Bo
"It's alright, senior. I won't blame you. On the contrary, I'm very happy to have met your grandfather today. Senior Dugu is very pleased to meet you."

Su Tianyu politely greeted Dugu Bo, who was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression.
"Young friend, are you a healing-type Soul Master?"
When Dugu Bo saw Su Tianyu greet him politely, he didn't choose to keep a cold face. He nodded slightly, forced a smile, and asked Su Tianyu the question that had been bothering him.
"Senior Dugu, I am not a healing or support-type Soul Master. I simply have a family heirloom medical book, and I have studied according to its contents over the past few years. I have only learned a little about methods for treating difficult and complicated diseases."
Su Tianyu looked at Dugu Bo opposite him and answered seriously.
"I see. However, since you were able to cure Yanyan's illness, you must have studied medical books diligently for many years and have treatment methods for some common ailments. I hope you can give me a bottle of medicine to treat Yanyan today. I promise you one thing: you can ask me for anything, and I will fulfill your request."
After sitting on the sofa and pondering for a while, Dugu Bo raised his emerald-green eyes to look at Su Tianyu and made a sincere request.
"Senior Dugu, it's just a bottle of medicine. I can give it to you right now if you want it."
After replying to Dugu Bo, Su Tianyu reached out and touched his belt, revealing a bottle of medicine in his hand. Su Tianyu then placed the bottle on the glass table in front of Dugu Bo.
"Thank you very much, young friend. I owe you a favor. You can come to the Dugu Manor anytime to fulfill your request."
Dugu Bo looked at the medicine bottle on the glass table, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. He subconsciously felt excited and wanted to get up and leave to return to the Dugu Manor to decipher the medicinal ingredients needed for the liquid in the bottle.
Suppressing the thoughts rising in his mind, Dugu Bo reached out and put the medicine bottle on the glass table into his Soul Tool Ring. He stood up and thanked Su Tianyu gently.
He then took Dugu Yan's arm, helped her stand up, and together they said goodbye to Su Tianyu before heading towards the villa's gate and leaving.
Watching the departing figures of Dugu Bo, the Old Poison, and Dugu Yan, a glint of light flashed in Su Tianyu's eyes.
After receiving the medicine bottle, the Old Poison Dugu Bo couldn't wait to say goodbye. He was probably eager to return to the Dugu Manor, open the bottle, and check the ingredients of the medicine. He likely wanted to decipher the ingredients himself to cure the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in his body, so that he would no longer be restricted by the venom's effects. He also hoped to increase his Soul Power Level more quickly, making himself and Dugu Yan stronger.
However, the medicinal liquid that Su Tianyu prepared was not something that the simple-minded, physically strong natives of the Douluo Continent could decipher.
With the Tang Sect Poison Scripture recorded in Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and the knowledge he had from his previous life, he knew that the seemingly simple medicine contained extremely complex and intricate medicinal materials and ingredients. The chemical reactions involved were beyond the comprehension of Dugu Bo, the author of Douluo Dalu. If Dugu Bo could decipher the composition of this medicine and successfully concoct the antidote, Su Tianyu might as well just find a block of tofu and kill himself.
Dugu Bo hurriedly returned to the Dugu Manor with Dugu Yan in tow. Afterward, Dugu Bo rushed into the secret room and took out a medicine bottle from his storage Soul Tool Ring.
Dugu Bo looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, his eyes shining brightly, his whole body trembling slightly, and his face full of joyful smiles.
Dugu Bo carefully opened the bottle cap and poured the medicine into a prepared container. He then inserted a finger into the container, soaked it in the liquid, and put the finger, now covered in the liquid, into his mouth, carefully tasting the medicinal ingredients and trying to decipher the composition of the medicine.
"Poisonous flower fruit, purple pink flower, clearing water, antidote herb, and what's this smell? Is it the smell of Blue Silver Grass? How can it smell like Blue Silver Grass? Could Blue Silver Grass be used as an antidote?"
Dugu Bo frowned, carefully sensing the taste in his mouth. There were still five herbs with different flavors that he couldn't detect, making it impossible for him to decipher Su Tianyu's uniquely formulated antidote.
This caused his previously joyful and smiling face to darken, his expression turning somber. The light from the Soul Tool in the secret chamber illuminated his gloomy face, making him appear even colder and more aloof, his eyes flashing with an unpredictable light.
"Forget it, after all, I, Dugu Bo, owe him a favor, and he's also Yanyan's classmate. When he saw the snake venom flare up in Yanyan's body, he didn't step in to help her detoxify just because I was standing behind her. They're not related, yet he still risked his life to help Yanyan detoxify under those circumstances. If I had chosen to force him to hand over the antidote I prepared, Yanyan would probably be very heartbroken when she found out."
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo let out a deep sigh. Although Dugu Bo's style of doing things was unpredictable and his nature was Dugu Bo, he was not the kind of person who would repay kindness with enmity. He was, after all, a person who cared about his Dugu Bo, and he would not take action against his benefactor.
Half a year passed quickly. Su Tianyu lived a life of studying and training at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, spending his days in the classroom and his nights alone in his villa dormitory, where he would train his Soul Power every day.
Late that night, Su Tianyu sat cross-legged on his dormitory bed, his eyes closed, cultivating his Soul Power. The silver-white Soul Power emanating from his body was fluctuating in strength. Suddenly, a fierce aura of Soul Power Soul Power from his body, sweeping outwards from the bed and creating a faint gust of wind.
"Excellent, truly excellent. Since my Martial Soul reached Silver-Level Awakening and gained the cultivation speed of Innate Full Soul Power, I've increased my Soul Power by three levels in just half a year. I won't be far from obtaining my fourth Soul Ring."
Su Tianyu, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them, his face beaming with pride. He was incredibly excited about his growing strength. His Soul Power had now reached Soul Power thirty-seven, and he figured that after another six months of Soul Power, he would definitely reach the level forty Soul Power. After that, Su Tianyu would head to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his fourth Soul Ring and advance to the Soul Ancestor Soul Power realm.
At this moment, Su Tianyu had already surpassed Tang San by a whole realm. It should be noted that Tang San's Soul Power only reached level 29 when he was twelve years old, while Su Tianyu's Soul Power was already level 37.
