Long Chen knew that Dugu Bo had a very strong self-esteem and a suspicious personality.
Therefore, when facing him, Long Chen deliberately restrained the youthfulness and fear, and behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely.
When Dugu Bo saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Yanyan, you and Yu Tianheng step aside for a moment. I have something to say to this kid."
"Grandpa, you won't make things difficult for him, will you?"
"You silly boy, why would I embarrass him? I just want to communicate with him."
"All right."
Dugu Yan nodded at Long Chen.
Then, he took Yu Tianheng away.
At this time, only Dugu Bo and Long Chen were left here.
Dugu Bo said coldly:
"Boy, you and Yanyan are not related at all, why are you trying to detoxify her?"
"Why? Do you think I have any purpose?"
Long Chen smiled calmly and continued:
"To be honest, Ye Lingling, who had just obtained her third spirit ring, was considered a family member by me. When I was six years old, I met Dugu Yan while sending her to the Imperial Academy and asked her to take care of her. When I saw Dugu Yan again later, I discovered that she had already shown signs of poisoning. Later, I also went to the Imperial Academy and became her teammate. I developed an antidote pill for her simply to thank her for taking care of Lingling."
Dugu Bo was skeptical about Long Chen's words, and then asked:
"So, how confident are you that you can cure the poison in Yanyan's body?"
Long Chen smiled slightly, his eyes revealing confidence and composure:
"Senior, the venom in Dugu Yan's body was carried from her mother's womb. Over the years, some of the toxin has already penetrated her bone marrow. However, it is not impossible to cure it. Unfortunately, even the best cook cannot cook without the rice. I have been searching for a special herb."
"What herb?"
"Narcissus jade muscles and bones."
"Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones?"
Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and instantly became interested.
"What kind of Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone do you mean?"
"It was a white, crystal-clear plant, looking as pure and spotless as a green lotus or a white lotus root."
"White crystal flowers and plants"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and seemed to have thought of something.
"With the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, can I cure Yanyan's Green Phosphorus Snake venom?"
"Of course. Dugu Yan is still young, and the poison isn't too severe. Using that herb mixed with other herbs will prevent the poison from penetrating deeper into her body. However, that herb can't cure the poison in you."
After hearing this, Dugu Bo's face changed and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
"How dare you, you brat, claim that I'm poisoned? I'm Poison Douluo, the master of poison! Only others have ever been poisoned by me. Even poison-type spirit masters are vulnerable in front of me. How could I possibly be poisoned?!"
"Really? You're suffering from the backlash of your own poison without even realizing it. Compared to Dugu Yan, your signs of poisoning are more obvious and more dangerous."
"You're so arrogant! But I'd like to hear why you think I'm poisoned, and how do you know I'm in a worse condition than Yanyan?"
Long Chen's eyes met Dugu Bo's directly, and he replied seriously:
"If I'm not mistaken, every time it's cloudy and rainy, you'll experience a tingling sensation in your ribs, which will gradually intensify. This condition occurs once at noon and once at midnight, each lasting for over an hour. Every night around midnight, you'll experience pinprick-like pains in your head and heart, and your entire body will convulse for at least half an hour. Furthermore, the poison has penetrated deep into your bones, making it difficult to suppress even with powerful soul power."
Dugu Bo was shocked when he heard this.
"How do you know?"
Long Chen described it in great detail, as if he had witnessed Dugu Bo being poisoned with his own eyes.
This was unbearable for Dugu Bo.
This is his secret and also his biggest weakness. Once the enemy knows it, it will bring him fatal danger.
And this boy of thirteen or fourteen years old in front of me actually understood it so clearly.
Dugu Bo suddenly felt murderous.
If Long Chen had not developed an antidote pill for Dugu Yan, he would have killed Long Chen without hesitation.
Long Chen also felt the murderous aura from Dugu Bo, and the soul power in his body overflowed uncontrollably. A layer of faint black light surrounded him, like an invisible barrier, protecting him firmly.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo was shocked again, then he came to his senses and restrained his murderous intent.
"Boy, did you just want to fight me?"
"I was just responding to your temptation. With your strength, if you really wanted to kill me, wouldn't it be a matter of a moment?"
"Haha, you're quite brave, kid. However, for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, you act way too experienced. Among the spirit masters of your age, you're the strongest I've ever met. I'm a little curious, what's your martial spirit? What's your spirit power level?"
Compared to his murderous look just now, Dugu Bo was obviously much more relaxed.
Long Chen also relaxed and replied:
"My martial soul is the Dark Night Harp, and my soul power is level 39."
"Dark Night Harp, a mutant martial spirit with evil attributes? No wonder."
Dugu Bo muttered to himself, his gaze lingering on Long Chen for a moment.
"You've reached level 39 at such a young age. You truly possess extraordinary talent, much stronger than both Yu Tianheng and Yanyan. You seem to know a lot about my poisoning. So, can you cure it?"
"As the saying goes, even a good cook cannot cook without rice. I need to find those extremely rare herbs first."
"What if you had those herbs?"
Long Chen said confidently:
"If those herbs really exist, I'm 100% confident they can control the poison in Dugu Yan. However, the poison has already penetrated deep into your bones. I can partially remove it and alleviate your pain. I can also use other methods to detoxify you. According to my assumption, once your poisoning symptoms subside, you won't need to constantly mobilize your soul power to suppress the poison. Continue practicing, and your soul power will also increase."
After hearing this, Dugu Bo felt a little shaken.
Not only can it detoxify, but it can also enhance soul power. Long Chen's idea is too tempting.
However, how could Dugu Bo easily believe the words of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy?
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a noise coming from around him.
It turned out to be Qin Ming and his group.
Ye Lingling had already absorbed all the soul rings. Seeing that Long Chen, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng had not returned yet, she followed the marks left by Long Chen along the way and came over.
Long Chen said:
"Senior, Lingling should have absorbed all the spirit rings. It's time for me to join them."
"Wait, you already know the secret of my poisoning, how can I let you go so easily?"
"Don't worry, senior. I will keep my mouth shut."
Dugu Bo shook his head.
"In my life, I have never easily trusted anyone. How about this? I will take you to my medicine garden, where there are many rare herbs. I will give you a chance to see if you can detoxify me."
"Okay. But first, I have to say goodbye to them."
Dugu Bo nodded, then shouted:
"Yanyan, you can come over now."
