Chapter 103: Dugu Bo's Poison Pill
Dugu Bo has a very good understanding of his own situation. As the saying goes, long illness makes one a doctor. Although he is known as the Poison, his medical skills are quite strong.
He could drink the tea readily, firstly because it might be his family's last hope, and secondly because he did not notice anything wrong with the pill.
What he didn't expect was that the effect of this pill would be so obvious. As soon as he drank it, the toxins in his body reacted violently, so much so that he didn't even have time to put down the cup. He had to calm down and mobilize his soul power and toxins.
"You broke my cup. You're a Titled Douluo after all, how come you can't keep your composure?"
Qin Zhuo shook his head, having already thought about what benefit he would ask Lao Deng for later. Although Yuan Kang's body was powerful now, it was not comprehensive enough, at least in terms of physical defense.
Moreover, although the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire provide immunity to ice and fire and can resist most toxins, it is not a poison-immune physique after all. In the original novel, after Tang San soaked in the spring water, he had to be very cautious when practicing the Yama Post, which shows that cold poison and fire poison cannot resist all poisons.
Although he had the extreme dodge ability, the chance of being hit by a hidden weapon was almost zero, but he could never be sure. If he got poisoned, it would be a huge loss.
Qin Zhuo knew that Dugu Bo had a poison pill, which condensed most of his strength and cultivation. It was not only extremely poisonous but also of great benefit to the cultivation of soul power.
Of course, for others, this is just a training accelerator, and also a life-threatening timer. After all, once the poison pill is triggered, it will release a highly toxic substance.
But for Qin Zhuo, this is a good treasure that can be used to stimulate the body and improve poison resistance.
For such a long time, it has been impossible to gain much proficiency by simply using physical means. On the one hand, although the advantage of the Source Resistance Body is not physical defense, it also improves a lot of physical strength. On the other hand, Qin Zhuo has been tempering his physique for a long time, and later he was tempered by the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, so his strength is not weak in itself.
It is difficult to hone the body with ordinary means. Increasing the intensity may lead to greater proficiency, but the risks will also be greater.
He was now going out, and the unsightliness of carrying injuries on his body was secondary. If he was targeted by certain people, it would be even more troublesome. So he had been thinking about whether he should find time to go back and use his injuries to improve his proficiency.
He had a hunch that his body was just one step away from improving its physical defense. As long as he overcame this bottleneck, his passive ability of Source Resistance Body would evolve again!
However, after Dugu Bo came up with the idea of exchanging injury for improvement, Qin Zhuo put it as his second choice. Medicinal baths can bring about physical improvements, and poison is also medicine!
Qin Zhuo was just thinking about it when waves of surging soul power burst out from Dugu Bo's body, which made him frown. Then he waved his hand and isolated the space in the courtyard.
"This old Deng is so careless when it comes to cultivation. If his aura as a Titled Douluo gets out here, who knows how many people will come to follow him..."
After a while, Dugu Bo's aura returned to calm, but his eyes were filled with unusual excitement.
Although it was only a small part, he had indeed forced some of the poison into the soul bone, and his own strength was not affected at all. Even the level 91 soul power bottleneck that had been stagnant for many years showed signs of breaking.
Any one of these two changes would make him ecstatic, let alone the fact that they appeared together this time.
"It seems that the senior has gained a lot!"
Qin Zhuo continued to maintain a half-smile on his face, showing neither the joy of being trusted by a Titled Douluo nor the enthusiasm of being about to receive a favor from a Titled Douluo.
Are you kidding! There are seven people in my family who are stronger than Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo!
So, what's so exciting about this? It's not like I haven't seen this before...
"This is all thanks to Qin Zhuo...my friend! This pill..."
Seeing Qin Zhuo's expression, Dugu Bo knew that he had lost his composure. He quickly calmed himself down and spoke with some difficulty.
"Simple. I will provide you with the pills, but I need your poison pill to help me strengthen my body. This way, neither of us will owe each other a favor. What do you think, Senior?"
Qin Zhuo spoke calmly, completely destroying Dugu Bo's advantage with just one sentence. What was the most precious thing about a Titled Douluo? It was his identity and the series of benefits it brought.
In other words, a favor from a Titled Douluo is enough for an ordinary person to achieve great success overnight, but Qin Zhuo's words that no one owes each other any favors force Dugu Bo to exchange benefits only as a soul master.
Anyway, Qin Zhuo doesn't care about the favors of the so-called Titled Douluo at all, even if this Titled Douluo is very special.
"Strengthen your body? Use my poison pills! Although your poison resistance is very high, my poison pills are all condensed from my own poison. Even you may not be able to withstand it. Besides, your physique... still needs strengthening?"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
Naturally, he had no objection to Qin Zhuo's proposal. Matters like human relations were difficult to handle for a Titled Douluo like him, not to mention that Qin Zhuo was under the command of the crown prince, and he had been in the same boat with the royal family for a long time.
Although the prince is also a member of the royal family, the complex relationship between them cannot be straightened out on the surface.
"Take your time! Your problem also needs to be handled step by step. You can also increase the toxicity little by little on my side. Both of us can get what we want."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but curl his lips, and a feeling of helplessness arose in his heart.
This guy, it seems like we're indifferent, but in fact, I'm the one who's suffered the most! Isn't this a disguised way of asking me to be his bodyguard?
"Alright! I'll take care of the things on hand, and then officially start the treatment! I don't think you should stay here for too long."
After just a moment's thought, Dugu Bo agreed. Qin Zhuo obviously would not tell him how to prepare the pills. He thought of it as a way to protect the doctor's safety. After all, only this doctor could cure this problem...
After leaving Qin Zhuo's residence, Dugu Bo came to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. On the one hand, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and see if he could use the uniqueness of this place to further remove the toxins.
Secondly, to throw that talking guy back. Although Shrek Academy is nothing big, there are people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect among the Shrek Seven Devils.
Who knows whether this team was supported by Ning Fengzhi. If that was the case, he would not dare to confront the two Douluo Sword and Bone.
After all, I am only good at playing with poison, not suitable for fighting...
