Chapter 88 Recruiting Dugu Bo
The next day, Di Hong took Dugu Bo to the Sunset Forest.
When he arrived at the outskirts of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Dugu Bo immediately found something wrong. Especially after seeing the wall of fire, he became more certain that there must be something very important to Di Hong here.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially fenced off this area.
“Is there a hot spring here?”
Di Hong nodded.
"Yes."
Then, he brought Dugu Bo to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
Looking at the Yin-Yang Springs in front of him, Dugu Bo was a little surprised, especially when he saw the medicinal herbs around them. Although he didn't recognize them, he could tell that these herbs were very precious and he had never seen them anywhere else.
Any place where these precious medicinal herbs can grow must be a treasure land.
“There is actually such a good place in this world.”
"This place is called Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. It has a very good suppressive effect on the poison in your body. However, with your current strength, you should not stay there for long."
Dugu Bo could clearly feel that the poison in his body was indeed suppressed, and Di Hong did not lie to him.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Di Hong took out a dagger from the soul guide on his waist, and then cut his palm. Blood dripped down his five fingers, but these blood drops did not fall to the ground, but floated in front of him.
"What are you going to do?" Dugu Bo asked puzzledly. Did Di Hong want to detoxify him now?
But he has no soul bones, so just bleeding won't be of much use.
Di Hong didn't say anything. He used his soul power to condense the blood drops together, and then he put them into a small jade bottle.
"Drink my blood, and you can survive here for a long time. It will also have a certain effect on the poison in your body."
"When you obtain a suitable soul bone, you can use this blood to detoxify. The same goes for your son."
Dugu Bo held the jade bottle in his hand, his eyes filled with deep doubt and confusion.
"Why are you willing to do this for me, and bring me to this precious place? I guess this herb must be very important to you, right?"
"Yeah." Di Hong did not deny it.
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away with these herbs when you are not around?" Dugu Bo asked.
Di Hong glanced at him.
"Can you run?"
Dugu Bo was stunned by the question. Will he run away?
To be fair, the herbs here are indeed precious, but he doesn't understand their efficacy, so it's useless for him. Besides, why did he come here? Wasn't it because he made a decision? Although he is not a good person, he is a man who keeps his promises.
Once the decision is made, it will not change.
After putting away the jade bottle, Dugu Bo bowed deeply to Di Hong.
"From now on, I, Dugu Bo, will be loyal to you and will never betray you until my death."
Di Hong raised his hand and helped him up.
"Senior, you don't have to do this. I believe in you. Please don't say anything about life or death."
Dugu Bo asked at this time: "Can I ask a question?"
"It's okay to ask." "What do you like about me? My strength is not strong, and I am only a Soul Emperor now, but you value me so much, why is that?"
Di Hong chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you in Wuhun City that the senior's poison is very important to us?"
"We?" Dugu Bo frowned slightly. When Di Hong said "we", who exactly did he mean? The Tiandou Empire, the Spirit Hall, or the Silves Kingdom where he was born? What exactly did he want to do?
"You will know it later, senior."
"Now your task is to practice hard and improve your strength. When you reach the level of Titled Douluo, you will know what we are going to do."
"The senior's martial spirit was able to evolve from the Jade Phosphorus Snake to the Jade Scaled Snake King. His talent is naturally extraordinary. It is only a matter of time before he cultivates to the Titled Douluo."
Dugu Bo and his son Dugu Xin both have the Green Phosphorus Snake as their martial souls, but Dugu Bo's martial soul has evolved. As for how it evolved, he doesn't know. It is estimated that it will evolve after practicing to a certain level. It may be a Soul Sage or a Titled Douluo.
As for why Dugu Bo now has the Green Phosphorus Snake King spirit, that is not clear, and he does not care about it.
"Also, senior, please take good care of this place and don't let thieves in."
"Don't worry, since you trust me, as long as I, Dugu Bo, am still alive, you will never be short of a medicinal herb." Dugu Bo patted his chest and promised.
Di Hong pointed to a large leafless light pink flower that was as clear as crystal and exuded a faint fragrance.
"That flower is called Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin, and it is the nemesis of all poisons. It can neutralize all toxins and can resist poison but cannot detoxify. If you need it, you can take it away."
"It can restrain all poisons." Dugu Bo was a little surprised, looking at that flower. Just that one flower could actually restrain poison. The things that grow in this place are indeed extraordinary. No wonder Di Hong values this place so much.
Then, Di Hong pointed out the magical herbs here to Dugu Bo.
"Except for the ones I pointed out, you can pick the remaining herbs as you like if you need them. If you want to plant some other herbs, this place can also make the plants grow thousands of times faster, and the medicinal effects are far superior to the herbs grown in other places."
"Grow a thousand-fold."
Dugu Bo looked around and he liked this place more and more. He was a loner by nature and liked quietness. There was no better place than this place.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of you. None of your herbs will be lost. If a thief dares to take advantage of this place, I will personally find a good feng shui site to bury him."
With the help of this place, his poison skills might be able to reach a higher level, and it would not be impossible for him to develop even more powerful snake venom.
After staying for a while, the two left.
After returning to Tiandou City, Dugu Bo took Dugu Xin away. He liked the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire better than the Marquis' Mansion, so he planned to live there with his son to practice. As long as the soul bone was in place, he could detoxify his son. As for himself, he was not in a hurry and would wait until he had a suitable soul bone. Anyway, he knew the method of detoxification.
When Dugu Xin reaches a certain age, he will be sent to Tiandou Royal Academy to study. He has few friends, and his son cannot be like him.
After Dugu Bo left, Tang Yuehua asked, "Senior Dugu, do you agree?"
Di Hong nodded.
"Those who came later than me have all become yours. When will it be my turn?" Tang Yuehua's tone was filled with strong jealousy. A grown man was ahead of her in line, but a beauty like her had not even had a turn yet.
"Why do I feel that what you said is weird?" Di Hong looked at Tang Yuehua with a strange expression. This girl was becoming more and more ferocious, completely different from the Tang Yuehua he remembered.
"I have already written a letter to my father. We will go to Haotian Sect in a few days."
"Really?" Tang Yuehua was surprised and happy.
"Fake." After saying this unhappily, Di Hong left.
Tang Yuehua also trotted back to her room and wrote a letter back to Haotian Sect.
