Chapter 40: Two Methods
Ye Haixin did not say it explicitly, but Su Lin had the information advantage and had guessed that the Titled Douluo she was talking about was Dugu Bo, and the so-called descendant could only be his granddaughter Dugu Yan.
But for this kind of poison that involves the essence of martial soul, Ye Haixin actually said that she has two ways to treat the symptoms!
"The first method is the soul bone. By forcing the toxins into the soul bone, even if the accumulated toxins in the body cannot be completely eliminated, it can delay the outbreak."
Su Lin was slightly stunned.
The method Tang San used in the original work was soul bones, but Ye Haixin had already thought of it?
But why didn't Dugu Bo know this, and finally got this method from Tang San!
Ye Haixin seemed to have some regrets as she continued, "But the soul bone is known as the treasure of the Blood River. Even for a Titled Douluo, it's not easy to obtain a soul bone of high age. Moreover, the toxins that a soul bone can hold are limited. If one day the soul bone's tolerance reaches its limit and the toxins fully erupt, the child will be dead."
Su Lin was a little confused: "Will this problem also occur if I use a poison-attribute soul bone?"
Ye Haixin couldn't help but smile, her red lips curled slightly as she said, "Unless it's the legendary external soul bone that can evolve, there will be a limit to what it can endure. This has nothing to do with attributes."
Su Lin frowned. In this era when many Titled Douluo did not even have a ten-thousand-year soul bone, external soul bones could truly be considered a legend.
He suddenly understood something and asked, "So, Sister Ye, you didn't tell me this method, right?"
Ye Haixin put on a wry smile. "That Titled Douluo has a bad temper. This method has too many flaws. Even if I explain the pros and cons in advance, if something really happens to his descendants in the future, my Ye family will inevitably be blamed."
Su Lin nodded slightly. The Nine Heart Begonia family had no fighting ability but had been able to pass on for so many years. They had their own way of dealing with the world.
Although this is just a possibility and Dugu Bo may not do so, the Ye family dare not gamble.
Besides, that Poison Douluo was notoriously moody and had a bad reputation. Even if he went to seek medical treatment for his granddaughter, he would probably be threatened.
Until now, Ye Haixin still doesn't dare to reveal his identity!
But...why do you say so much to me?
This is only the first time we've met, and it seems a bit... too intimate.
Su Lin blinked, but thought of the issue of vitality mentioned earlier...
"Sister Ye's second method seems to be related to me?"
Ye Haixin's face showed some approval. She nodded gently, "Yes, that child is about the same age as Lingling, so the poison is still mild."
"If I could flush it with a strong enough life force, I might be able to neutralize the toxins."
Su Lin roughly understood what she said, but he felt that she seemed to be hiding something.
His brows furrowed slightly, and Su Lin raised his hand to touch his chest through his clothes.
The old lady has lived a long life, so she should know more about these things than he does.
Ah Yin immediately understood and transmitted a message, "While this method is feasible, using vitality to flush out the toxins would require more than ten times the energy consumption. Furthermore, only the vitality of a top-tier life martial soul could accomplish this..."
"Besides, as this woman said, this method can only treat the symptoms, but the toxins will continue to be produced as you continue to practice..."
Su Lin understood what Ah Yin meant.
Dugu Yan will produce toxins when practicing. This is not a one-time thing, but a long-term process.
In fact, considering how much Dugu Bo loves his granddaughter, he might be tied to Dugu Yan in the future!
"Even with my vitality, if I don't have a way to replenish it, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer. But Ye Haixin doesn't know this."
Su Lin looked at the gentle smile on Ye Haixin's charming face, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
There is really no such thing as kindness without reason in this world.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!
This is absolutely true.
However, Ye Haixin continued, "I must make it clear to you that this method is only a temporary solution and will take a long time. I don't know where your strong vitality comes from, and I have no intention of exploring it."
"But according to my estimation, if you have to flush out the toxins every day, even your vitality can only last for five years at most."
He actually said it out loud!
Su Lin was a little surprised. Wasn't this woman trying to trick him in exchange for the friendship of a Titled Douluo?
After all, this matter will not do any harm to Dugu Yan in any way. Even if it can only last for a period of time, Dugu Bo will still appreciate it.
"Since Sister Ye is so outspoken, I think there must be a solution."
Ye Haixin glanced at Su Lin's white hair and spoke in a gentler voice, "Have you forgotten the first method I just told you?"
Su Lin immediately understood.
"As long as you don't mention my Ye family, you can tell that Titled Douluo the method for the soul bones. With the combination of the two, it is not impossible to last for decades."
"But in these few decades, you can gain the friendship and protection of a powerful Titled Douluo. Whether it's wealth, fame, beauty, or power, it's all at your fingertips."
Ye Haixin's voice seemed soft but also charming and seductive.
"Don't worry, I won't force you. Whether you agree or not is entirely up to you. My only requirement is that you don't disclose today's conversation to anyone."
Decades of wealth and glory, or a lifetime of mediocrity?
For the vast majority of people, this is not a question of choice.
This type of multiple-choice question cannot be said to be a deliberate trap.
But Su Lin is different. His future path is already very clear. Even if he just continues to follow the routine, the so-called glory and honor will not be a difficult task.
"Sister Ye, I can't make a decision for now. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Su Lin pondered for a moment and decided to delay for the time being.
But he did not refuse directly. Compared with the Immortal Herb code, this was indeed a safer opportunity to contact Dugu Bo.
In addition to the Heart of the Sea God, the magical grass of the Ice and Fire Ying Yang Eyes can be said to be the greatest opportunity of this era and should not be missed.
In addition, the ability of the Ice and Fire Ying Yang Eyes to accelerate plant growth is also crucial to Su Lin.
"Of course, this isn't an easy decision. I've examined the child's condition, and there won't be any major problems for the next two years. Beyond that, the more the toxins accumulate, the more difficult it will be to clean them up."
As Ye Haixin spoke, a bronze token appeared in her palm.
"Within two years, if you have made a decision, you can always come to the Ye Family Pharmacy in Heaven Dou City with this token to find me."
