Chapter 54: Dugu Bo Submits
The moment the Serpent Spear Spirit appeared, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted, and the wounds on his body throbbed with pain.
"Is he the Titled Douluo I met at the Prince's residence a few days ago?"
"No wonder a mere prince of the Heaven Dou Empire could see the signs of poisoning on Yan'er's body. It turns out he's colluded with the Spirit Hall."
Dugu Bo felt a wave of fear. Luckily, they wanted to recruit him, otherwise he probably would have died a few days ago.
However, he is in a bad situation now. He knows the secret of the Spirit Hall. If he does not submit and join them, will they let him go?
Even if Dugu Bo wasn't afraid of death, he had suffered from snake venom his whole life, so death would be a relief for him.
But his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is still young. Without her grandfather, how long can she hold on?
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo cupped his hands in greeting and asked She Long, "Your Excellency Douluo, may I ask if you have a method to cure the venom of the Jade Scaled Serpent?"
Seeing that Dugu Bo's attitude had softened, She Long put away his spirit and looked at his young master.
Qi Tian, now disguised as Xue Qinghe, stepped forward.
"Senior Dugu, only His Holiness the Pope can cure your poison!" Qi Tian said.
"Your Holiness the Pope?" Dugu Bo looked at the stunning woman in the long gold dress.
Bibi Dong spoke up at the opportune moment: "Dugu Bo, you only have this one chance!"
At the same time, she released a wisp of oppressive power.
Dugu Bo immediately felt a sense of oppression and couldn't help but want to release his spirit to resist.
"Hiss, she's so young, and she's already a Titled Douluo? And her realm is even higher than that Titled Douluo wielding the Snake Spear!"
Dugu Bo had no time to think further and immediately said, "Your Holiness, I am willing to serve the Spirit Hall!"
He didn't dare to be cheeky in front of the Pope, so he could only honestly say that he was willing to join the Spirit Hall.
"Let people point fingers at us, it's better than dying. Besides, we still need to rely on them to treat the poison in Yan'er's body."
"If I can cure the snake venom, I might have a chance to break through to level 90!" Dugu Bo thought to himself.
Bibi Dong withdrew her soul power pressure, and Dugu Bo felt much more relaxed.
She took out several bottles of pills from her soul tool and tossed them to Dugu Bo, saying, "This medicine can cure the poison in your body!"
"After you join the Spirit Hall, you'll first serve under Xue'er... Xue Qinghe!"
Dugu Bo is from the Heaven Dou Empire, so it is normal for him to be recruited by the prince. He can also strengthen Qian Renxue's strength and help her usurp the throne.
"Thank you, Your Holiness!"
"Hmm!" Bibi Dong nodded and left Dugu Bo's residence with the few people around her.
At this moment, only Qi Tian, Porcupinefish Douluo, and She Long remained in Dugu Bo's mansion.
"Senior Dugu, I suggest you don't completely eliminate the poison from your body!" Qi Tian suggested.
"Oh? What insightful opinion does Your Highness have?"
Dugu Bo did not dare to underestimate Qi Tian, because it was Qi Tian who discovered the abnormality in Dugu Yan at the beginning.
Qi Tian said, "If you expel all the poison from your body, not only will it be difficult for you to adapt, but your strength will also be reduced!"
After Dugu Bo releases the true form of the Jade Scaled Snake King, he can release the Jade Scaled Snake Poison without using any soul skills.
This is largely due to the fact that his body is full of toxins. If all the toxins in his body are cleared, he will still need to rely on his soul skills to unleash the Jade Scaled Serpent Venom.
Dugu Bo naturally knew this, and quickly asked, "Your Highness, what should I do?"
Qi Tian didn't keep them in suspense and directly revealed the method: "You can transfer the Jade Scaled Serpent venom into the Soul Bone."
"Soul bones are very special; some soul bones are inherently poisonous."
"If your snake venom is stored in your soul bone, it will not only not harm your body, but it will also not diminish your strength!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up; he did indeed possess a soul bone from the Medusa Serpent Soul Beast.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness, but how can the snake venom be expelled into the soul bone?" Dugu Bo asked.
In the Douluo Continent today, the study of meridians is very superficial, and cultivation relies on meditation.
Most Soul Masters rely on their Spirit to fight directly, and very few people channel their Soul Power into their meridians.
Having reached the level of Dugu Bo, his body's meridians, except for the eight extraordinary meridians, including the twelve regular meridians, were all unblocked.
As long as he circulates his soul power along his meridians, he can slowly transfer the poison in his body into his soul bone.
With just a little guidance from Qi Tian, he understood what he should do.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!"
At this time, Dugu Bo was no longer opposed to working for Qi Tian.
"Well, you can detoxify him here, Porcupinefish, and you can protect him here!" Qi Tian arranged.
The blood-piercing spirit is extremely restraining to Dugu Bo. He not only wants to help Dugu Bo protect the law, but also wants to monitor Dugu Bo.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Dugu Bo watched Qi Tian and She Long leave, and the pressure on him was greatly relieved.
He is just a Soul Douluo now, and facing so many Titled Douluos, the pressure is too great.
Dugu Bo took out the antidote given to him by Bibi Dong and swallowed a pill without thinking.
"Hmm~ This smell... it seems a little familiar?" Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise.
He felt like he had seen this pill somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
However, he also studied medicinal herbs, and based on the taste of the pill, he felt that he could replicate it.
After taking the pill, he immediately felt the old poison of the Jade Scaled Serpent King in his body slowly subside.
"It worked! I didn't expect the Pope, despite her youth, to have such profound cultivation and insights into the use of poison and detoxification!"
Dugu Bo left two bottles of antidote for himself and gave one bottle to Dugu Yan.
Since this medicine can even cure his Jade Scaled Snake venom, it can naturally cure his granddaughter's mere minor poison as well.
Porcupinefish Douluo glanced at Dugu Bo, ignored him, and went to find a room to cultivate.
Dugu Bo arrived at Dugu Yan's room and found that Dugu Yan was not cultivating, but staring blankly at a jade pendant.
"Yan'er?"
Dugu Yan turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa, it's so late, why are you here? Is your injury healed?" Dugu Yan asked.
Dugu Bo shook his head: "This injury doesn't heal so easily, but it'll be soon!"
"Grandpa, you seem so happy. Is there some good news?" Dugu Yan asked.
Dugu Bo nodded, took out a bottle of pills, and handed it to Dugu Yan, saying, "This is the antidote for the Jade Scaled Snake venom!"
"Once you eat it, you won't have to worry about the backlash from the Jade Scaled Snake's venom!" Dugu Bo said based on his own experience.
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up: "Grandpa, where
did you get this antidote?"
Dugu Bo was about to say that it was bestowed by the Pope, but then he remembered that he was now following Xue Qinghe and it was best not to expose his connection with the Spirit Hall.
"It was given to me by His Highness the First Prince!"
"I knew he would find a way!" Dugu Yan said happily.
Dugu Bo sighed. How could he not see that his granddaughter had been cured of the snake venom but had instead fallen victim to Xue Qinghe's love poison?
"What a tragedy! My granddaughter has only known Xue Qinghe for less than a month, and she's already so deeply involved?"
