Chapter 36 The Cause of Poisoning
"What did you say?"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but repeat himself again. His hands, which had been trembling just moments before, instantly became strong and powerful as he gripped Xie Mo's wrist tightly and refused to let go.
"I think I have a way to help you and Sister Yan detoxify."
Xie Mo thought for a moment and didn't make any absolute statements, since there was always a backup plan.
"Xiao Mo, how do we detoxify?"
Dugu Bo looked at Xie Mo with excitement and anticipation.
"Does Grandpa Ye know about your situation?"
Xie Mo didn't answer directly, but instead asked another question.
"Of course Brother Wuyou knows. As the number one healing-type Soul Master in the world, I went to him immediately. Unfortunately, he was helpless against my poisoning and could only prescribe some medicine to suppress it."
Dugu Bo didn't care why Xie Mo changed the subject and readily explained the situation.
Xie Mo's face showed an expression of no surprise. According to his guess, Ye Wuyou and Dugu Bo were so familiar with each other that Ye Wuyou should also know about this matter. However, this person did not appear in the original work. Maybe something happened to him later. He could only try to remind him to pay more attention to safety.
"Let's go find Grandpa Ye and discuss it together. Maybe we can find some ways to improve our methods."
Having stayed at the Ye residence for so many days, he had become quite familiar with Ye Wuyou. Although Ye Wuyou was a top-tier healing-type Soul Master, the Ye family was dedicated to breaking the "curse" of Martial Souls and had also done considerable research on herbs, making him the opposite of Dugu Bo.
With the other party's help, the detoxification process might be more secure. Now, his safety is entirely in Dugu Bo's hands. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hates him to death. Even if he joins the Spirit Hall, he might not find someone like Dugu Bo who takes care of him. Xie Mo has no choice but to take it seriously, even for his own sake.
"Indeed, Brother Wuyou knows quite a lot, no less than I do."
Dugu Bo's face showed a look of realization. There was no rush to detoxify. They had been doing this for so many years, so it was best to be cautious.
Xie Mo was first taken home by Dugu Bo. After eating dinner under Dugu Yan's strange gaze, he secretly carried Dugu Yan to the Ye residence.
"Master, why are we sneaking around to find Grandpa Ye?"
Xie Mo was a little confused about Dugu Bo's thought process. He only realized why Dugu Yan had seemed strange today after they came out. It turned out that the sense of theft emanating from them was too strong.
"Ahem, we have to keep this from Yan'er, so we have to be careful."
Dugu Bo also realized that even if Dugu Yan followed, there was no need to worry. He could just hand her over to Ye Lingling. This time, however, his mind was a little unsettled.
Xie Mo gave Dugu Bo a look, blaming Dugu Bo for ruining his perfect image in Dugu Yan's heart.
Having not received Xie Mo's signal, Dugu Bo knocked on the Ye family's door. Ye Wuyou was completely bewildered as he looked at Dugu Bo and Xie Mo, who had come to visit late at night, wondering what they wanted to see him about at this hour.
"Brother Wuyou, I'm sorry to bother you tonight, but I really do have a favor to ask."
"It's alright. If I can help Brother Dugu, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The two looked like close buddies, and then both turned their gazes to Xie Mo. Ye Wuyou knew that this matter must be related to Xie Mo, otherwise, given the other party's personality, why would he carry Xie Mo with him?
"Grandpa Ye, tonight we'll discuss how to get rid of the poison in Master's body."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuyou raised an eyebrow, surprised that Dugu Bo would tell Xie Mo about it directly.
"Is there any plan?"
"More or less, but is the poison in Master's body spread throughout his entire body?"
After Xie Mo answered, he looked at Dugu Bo, though he wasn't entirely clear on Dugu Bo's specific situation.
"That's right, I'm already quite poisoned. Almost everything on my body is tainted by the toxins, and Yan'er was even immersed in toxins while still in her mother's womb..."
Dugu Bo's voice was filled with grief. He was unaware that the toxins were passed down through his bloodline, which caused his son to die young, and his daughter-in-law to die shortly after giving birth because she was exposed to the toxins for too long during her pregnancy and the poison penetrated to her bone marrow. He was overjoyed that his granddaughter had lived one day at a time and grown up healthy.
When did you realize you had been poisoned?
Xie Mo had a guess in his mind, but he didn't know if it was correct.
"time······"
Dugu Bo fell into deep thought; the memory was too distant, and he needed to think it over carefully.
"Perhaps after the martial soul evolved into the Serpent King?"
Dugu Bo muttered to himself, finally confirming his memory.
"It only takes effect after the martial soul evolves."
His expression was gloomy and uncertain. Dugu Bo was not stupid; he had just never thought about these things before, but now he understood them immediately.
"Based on my guess, it's probably because Master's martial soul evolution was both successful and unsuccessful."
"Success means evolving your martial soul into the Azure Serpent Emperor, possessing a top-tier poison-attribute beast martial soul in the world. Its venom is extremely potent, and its physical body is also quite strong."
"Failure naturally means that the toxins were not controlled, and after evolution, they spread throughout the body, causing the Soul Master himself to be poisoned as well."
"With so many Soul Masters possessing venomous snake beast martial souls in the world, how come only your lineage is poisoned?"
"Besides, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has appeared before, and they haven't gotten into any trouble."
Xie Mo shrugged and uttered that cruel guess, while Dugu Bo's face was so gloomy it seemed like it was about to drip water.
"So... all of this is a consequence of my martial soul's evolution?"
"In a sense, that is true, but if you don't evolve your martial soul, you might die in a battle one day. You know how Yan Jie performed; her control was barely adequate, but her physical body was still weak."
Seeing that Dugu Bo seemed about to lose his temper, Xie Mo quickly stopped his attack and began to comfort him.
Dugu Bo was not angry because of Xie Mo's words. He just felt sad, as if he was bound by many invisible shackles, making it hard for him to breathe.
"So, Xiao Mo, what exactly is the method for detoxification?"
Dugu Bo sighed deeply, his heart filled with complex emotions.
"The best one is naturally the martial soul that evolves again. Even if the Snake King is still a king, its bloodline is still that of a snake."
"You mean..."
"Azure Phosphorous Dragon Emperor?"
Dugu Bo stroked his chin and said somewhat uncertainly, "Evolving into an emperor is already lucky enough. As for evolving into a true dragon, that's something I've only ever dreamed of."
"That's right. Legend has it that true dragons possess a dragon core, containing most of their power. The poison of the venomous dragon should be stored in the dragon core."
Xie Mo still remembered that Mu En had one during the second era of Dou Er, and it was quite useful.
"I also possess a cinnabar pearl."
Dugu Bo opened his mouth and spat out a beam of green light. A dark green bead floated quietly in the air. It was the pill that he had Xie Mo swallow to protect his body.
Ye Wuyou stood aside quietly watching the father and son's discussion. When he saw the bead, his gaze became somewhat strange. If there was something similar, couldn't the poison be stored inside?
However, considering their long-standing friendship, Ye Wuyou continued to watch the two silently.
