Chapter 35 Loyalty
"Soul bones are precious, but I am still a Title Douluo! Soul bones over ten thousand years old may be hard to find, but if I use all my resources, I should be able to find a few hundred or thousand-year-old soul bones! If all else fails..."
At this point, a hint of the Poison Douluo's sinister and ruthless nature flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and his aura turned even colder: "Then go 'exchange'! Go 'take'! On this continent, there are always some who possess soul bones but are unworthy of their positions, or who have old grudges against me!"
His meaning couldn't be clearer.
If he can't get a suitable soul bone through normal means, he doesn't mind using some extreme measures, even if it means taking it by force!
For the sake of his own life and his granddaughter's, Dugu Bo didn't mind playing the villain again and bearing the infamy!
Since his reputation is already ruined, he doesn't mind getting it worse.
Unless they can kill him in one go, no one will risk having only their top-tier combatants left to fight him to the death.
Lin Qiyue neither confirmed nor denied this.
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is one of the rules of the Douluo Continent.
He provided the method, pointing out its advantages and disadvantages; as for how Dugu Bo would obtain the soul bone, that was his own choice.
As long as it doesn't violate her bottom line or cause her trouble, Lin Qiyue is too lazy to care.
"The method has been given to you; how to choose and how to implement it is up to you."
Lin Qiyue spoke in a flat tone.
"Before finding a suitable soul bone, especially an external soul bone, you can find a soul bone of decent quality to temporarily store the toxins and alleviate the backlash. Of course, it is not recommended to use head and torso soul bones; it is best to use limb soul bones."
Dugu Bo twitched the corner of his mouth. Perfect, he only had one head soul bone on his entire body.
It's still ten thousand years old.
"Of course, I also have a way to completely cure you, but..."
Dugu Bo immediately understood Lin Qiyue's meaning.
"Young Master Lin, if there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to ask."
Lin Qiyue nodded.
"Actually, it's very simple. If you work for me from now on, I can get rid of your poison, including your granddaughter's poison, and the poison of all your descendants. Moreover, there are many benefits. How about it? Do you want to consider it?"
Dugu Bo hesitated only slightly.
Working for him? It sounds like they're going to take him on as a subordinate.
Normally, given his pride as the Poison Douluo, he would never easily bow down, no matter how strong or powerful the opponent was.
Titled Douluos have their own dignity.
but……
The other party's offer was too tempting, directly hitting his deepest weakness.
Completely cured!
It's not just about alleviating or temporarily suppressing the poison, but about completely eliminating the deadly poison in him and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan!
That wasn't enough; the other party even promised that they could also eliminate the poison in all his descendants!
What does this mean?
This means that the almost cursed fate that has plagued their Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul family for countless generations will be completely ended in his generation!
His descendants will no longer have to endure that inhuman suffering. They can cultivate, live, and pass on their martial spirits like normal people, without worrying about being suddenly killed by the poison of their own martial spirits one day!
The value of this promise is immeasurable for Dugu Bo!
It even surpassed his own life!
As for doing things for him... compared to this immense favor and the future hope of the family, what does this matter?
Moreover, this young master Lin has a powerful figure like Xiao Lan, who is suspected to be a Super Douluo, by his side. His background and potential may not be a disgrace to Poison Douluo.
Even if some of this promise is an exaggeration, as long as it can truly resolve the crisis facing him and Yan Yan, freeing him from living in pain and the constant shadow of impending death, this favor is enough for him to repay with his loyalty.
In just a few breaths, Dugu Bo's mind was racing with a thousand thoughts.
The gloomy and arrogant look on his face quickly faded.
He took a step back, and then knelt on one knee in front of Lin Qiyue with an even more solemn and respectful attitude than before!
"Thank you for your kindness, young master, in extending a helping hand and relieving my Dugu family of generations of misfortune!"
"If you can cure my granddaughter's poison, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to lead the Azure Phosphorous Serpent lineage to pledge allegiance to you! I will serve you with unwavering loyalty, even unto death! If I break this oath, may my martial spirit be shattered, and my body and soul vanish!"
This is a solemn oath made with one's martial spirit and personal cultivation, and it has a very strong binding force on soul masters in the Douluo Continent.
Lin Qiyue looked at Dugu Bo kneeling on the ground, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
He didn't care much about the oath itself, but rather valued the determination and attitude that Dugu Bo was showing at this moment.
Recruiting a Title Douluo, especially one like Dugu Bo who has a unique role in certain areas, would be a great thing for anyone.
Get up.
Lin Qiyue raised her hand to support him.
"Since you have chosen to pledge your allegiance to me, I will naturally not mistreat my own people. I will deal with the poison affecting you and Dugu Yan as soon as possible. As for a complete cure, it will take some time, but it is no exaggeration."
Dugu Bo stood up.
"Understood! Everything is at your disposal, young master!"
He knew that from this moment on, his and his granddaughter's fate, and even the fate of the entire family, were inextricably linked with the mysterious young man before him.
Lin Qiyue pondered for a moment, quickly planning the next steps in her mind.
With the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire already in hand and Dugu Bo successfully subdued, the next step is to truly transform this place into an impregnable base.
He turned to Xiao Lan and said, "Xiao Lan, go back to the Blue Silver Forest and transplant all three 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Trees, along with the elite Blue Silver Grass from the core area. Arrange them around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley."
His gaze swept across the surrounding mountain walls and valley entrance, and a blueprint formed in his mind: "I want to make the core of this Sunset Forest, and indeed the entire Sunset Forest, the domain of Blue Silver Grass. Especially this valley, where the Blue Silver Grass must be more abundant, more lush, and more resilient!"
Centered around a 200,000-year-old and three 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Ancient Trees, a Blue Silver Domain network covering a vast forest is constructed, combined with the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes... This is the kind of base.
Even a level 98 peak Douluo might not be able to break through this place; it is absolutely safe here.
Little Blue listened attentively and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Master!"
She has always been 100% proactive and dedicated in carrying out Lin Qiyue's orders.
After she agreed, she moved slightly, preparing to transform into blue light and leave.
But as soon as she took a step, she stopped again, her azure eyes glancing almost imperceptibly at Dugu Bo standing to the side.
The meaning is obvious.
I'm leaving. What if this newly acquired, still unknown old poisoner tries to harm its master while I'm away?
Lin Qiyue noticed Xiao Lan's hesitation and felt a warmth in her heart, but she simply waved her hand calmly.
"Don't worry. Since Senior Dugu has sworn allegiance to me with his martial soul, I believe in his pride and commitment as a Title Douluo. Besides..."
He glanced at Dugu Bo, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"What Senior Dugu desires most right now is a method to detoxify. He won't do anything foolish."
