The sky gradually brightened. When Dugu Bo once again arrived at the Binghuo Liangyi Eye, he discovered that something was different from when he left.
Dugu Bo glanced at Cheng Xiao and also noticed the change in his soul power level. His brows immediately furrowed as he asked doubtfully:"Brat, yesterday your soul power was only around level thirty-eight. How did you break through after just one night? Don't tell me you ate the medicinal herbs I gave you?"
"Hehe, Senior Dugu, don't worry. I have already found a way to solve the toxins in your body." Cheng Xiao smiled confidently.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo said irritably:"You said the same thing yesterday. Speak, how do you plan to expel all the toxins in my body?"
Cheng Xiao stood up, stepped across the spring eye, walked three steps to stand before Dugu Bo, and said calmly:"Senior Dugu, you don't need to do anything. Just quietly accept it."
"What do you mean?" Dugu Bo froze.
"It means be prepared — detoxification!" Cheng Xiao said solemnly.
"Right now?" Dugu Bo frowned and said,"Brat, if you can really remove the deadly poison in my body, I'll agree to three conditions of yours."
"But right now, you have to eat this first. Although my lifetime cultivation isn't worth much, I still want to live a few more years. I don't understand your methods — if you kill me by accident, you'll be buried with me."After speaking, Dugu Bo opened his mouth, and a green light shot out — a jade-green pearl.
"Sure, as long as you think this thing can poison me." Cheng Xiao looked at the pearl in Dugu Bo's hand and smiled.
Dugu Bo coldly swept a glance at Cheng Xiao and said seriously:"Brat, I'm not afraid to tell you — this is the dan-zhu condensed after my Biling Snake Martial Soul evolved into Biling Snake Emperor. Half of my strength is on this pearl."
"If I'm killed by you, let alone you, even a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse will die with me. Don't think you can be immune to my poison just because your physique is special!"
Under Dugu Bo's control, the green dan-zhu slowly floated toward Cheng Xiao's mouth, and soon he swallowed it.
The moment the dan-zhu entered his body, Cheng Xiao felt a warm current flow down his throat, warmth spreading in his dantian. Not only did he feel no discomfort, his limbs and bones felt indescribably comfortable.
Dugu Bo said faintly:"You should feel it — this dan-zhu only benefits your cultivation. If your treatment really works, I will guide it back out."
"Then let's begin, so you don't have to keep worrying." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.
Dugu Bo nodded. He did this only to leave himself a retreat — in case this brat killed him and ran away with the medicine garden's herbs.
He didn't know what those herbs did, but he knew one thing — they were not ordinary.
The two sat cross-legged, and with a casual wave, Cheng Xiao formed a mysterious hand seal. His mouth whispered obscure magical incantations. He planned to cast a small detoxification spell on Dugu Bo first. If he directly used Zhiyu Zhi Ge (Song of Healing), it might cure all of Dugu Bo's poison cultivation too.
If Dugu Bo lost his poison cultivation, he'd become a joke.
"Brat, what are you mumbling behind me?" Hearing strange words he didn't understand, Dugu Bo couldn't help ask.
The next second, Cheng Xiao's palm lightly pressed onto Dugu Bo's back, and instantly, heaven-and-earth yuan-li surged into Dugu Bo's body.
With the influx of yuan-li, pure energy continuously washed Dugu Bo's toxin-eroded body. Seeing the detox spell insufficient to neutralize the poison, Cheng Xiao cast more detoxification spells.
As pure energy cleansed him, wisps of black mist seeped out of Dugu Bo's body. Once touching air, they were erased by the pure energy, turning into nothing.
During this process, every time the pure energy washed through him, the Titled Douluo known for poison couldn't help but moan in comfort.
As time passed, Dugu Bo's toxin-corroded bones rapidly recovered, and his moans never stopped.
"Is it really that comfortable?" Cheng Xiao thought silently as he glanced at the trembling Dugu Bo.
About one hour later, Dugu Bo was drenched in sweat, his aged face glowing with vitality.
"Good brat, I can clearly feel that more than half of the poison has been expelled. I didn't expect you to actually do it!"
Feeling his revitalized body, Dugu Bo's face was filled with excitement. It had been too long since he felt anything other than pain. Constant poison erosion left him no other sensation.
That's why he couldn't help moan when Cheng Xiao treated him.
"You sure enjoyed yourself — I almost died of exhaustion." Cheng Xiao wiped sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly.
"Hehehe, but you're fine, aren't you?" Dugu Bo smiled,"Don't forget, I promised you three conditions. Being able to have a Titled Douluo help you — you should be laughing secretly!"
"Hehe, then Senior Dugu, if you've already promised me three conditions, could you agree to another three? I'll use one of the three conditions you owe me to exchange for three more." Cheng Xiao spoke slyly.
"You brat, trying to exploit a bug here?" Dugu Bo's face darkened as he cursed,"How is your face even thicker than mine? Using one condition to trade for three? Why don't you ask for a hundred?!"
Seeing how Dugu Bo had changed personality so quickly, Cheng Xiao sighed internally — no wonder people said his temperament was strange; the rumors were true.
As if reading his thoughts, Dugu Bo snorted:"Brat, don't act smug after gaining advantage. When will you detoxify Yan-yan?"
"Senior Dugu, detoxifying Dugu Yan is fine. You only need to let me bring someone here — and guarantee you won't attack him. After I recover, I can immediately detoxify Dugu Yan. How about it?" Cheng Xiao said lightly.
He didn't need Dugu Bo as a thug — using his granddaughter's life to coerce him felt wrong. After all, he and Dugu Yan were friends — this was something he could do casually.
Dugu Bo thought deeply for a long time, then asked cautiously:"Brat, you can bring someone, but you must tell me who, and what strength."
Seeing Dugu Bo's worried face, Cheng Xiao smiled:"Senior Dugu, don't worry. The person I'm bringing, you definitely know. As for strength… should be about the same as you."
"I only hope that in consideration of me detoxifying you, Senior won't attack him."
