Chapter 300 The Poison Skill Comes from Your Husband
I watched my granddaughter flipping through the book, beginning to memorize the methods of circulating poison.
On Dugu Bo's slightly sunken and stiff face, his expression suddenly became somewhat uncertain, and he also seemed to be struggling.
He seemed to be thinking about something, his mind wavering over something.
After a long silence, Dugu Bo sighed and muttered to himself:
"Sigh, Yan Yan has grown up. Perhaps it's time to tell her some things."
He still made the decision.
It didn't take long.
Dugu Yan quickly memorized the entire method of using the poison technique.
Then, under Dugu Bo's protection and guidance, he completed the first cycle of the Poisonous Skill, and a rice-grain-sized elixir condensed in his lower abdomen, dantian.
"Grandpa, I did it!"
Dugu Yan opened her eyes and exclaimed in delight to Dugu Bo.
"How are you feeling?"
Dugu Bo asked with a smile.
"I feel great!"
Dugu Yan immediately replied with delight, "I feel particularly comfortable practicing according to the circulation route of the poison technique; my whole body feels warm and cozy."
"Moreover, the flow of soul power within the body seems exceptionally smooth, without any stagnation, and the speed is even several times faster than usual cultivation."
"In the past, when I cultivated, I always felt that the flow of soul power was somewhat sluggish, and when releasing toxins, I would even feel a stinging sensation for no reason."
"But now, all of those feelings are gone."
"That's right!"
Dugu Bo finally felt relieved, then laughed heartily and said:
"Haha, this is the power of poison skills."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes brightened, and she exclaimed in admiration:
"Grandpa, this poison technique is amazing!"
"I just circulated it through my body once, and I can vaguely feel that my soul power has increased quite a bit. It's just a bit of a pity that I haven't acquired my third soul ring to break through the bottleneck yet. Otherwise, I would know roughly how much my soul power has increased."
"It's alright. The increased soul power will manifest itself after you absorb your third soul ring and break through to the Soul Master realm."
Dugu Bo waved his hand and said happily.
"By the way, Grandpa, it seems like a pearl has formed in my stomach, but it's only the size of a grain of rice."
At this moment, Dugu Yan spoke again in a sweet voice.
"That pill is called the Poison Pill. It is the core of the Poison Technique. It was made from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom in your body, which was refined, purified, and condensed through the Poison Technique."
"The location of the poison pill is not in the abdomen, but in a place called the dantian, which is where the pill is formed and manifested, and where the spirit and mind are focused."
Dugu Bo patiently explained, and then said:
"With this poison technique, you won't have to worry about the backlash from the poison anymore."
"Huh? A backlash from the toxins? What's that?"
Dugu Yan immediately tilted her head, looking at him with confusion.
"Yes, the toxins are backfiring."
Dugu Bo nodded, first letting out a long sigh, and then said in a low voice:
"Yanyan, Grandpa didn't originally plan to tell you these things, but now that you're all grown up, it's time for you to learn about some of the secrets of our Dugu clan."
Looking at his granddaughter's stunned and surprised face, Dugu Bo asked in a slightly somber tone:
"Yanyan, do you still remember your father and mother?"
"Father and Mother."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately snapped out of her astonishment and surprise, and her mood became slightly downcast.
She has almost no memory of her father and mother.
Because her parents had passed away when she was very young.
Now, only a few vague memories remain in her mind, mostly memories of her grandfather.
As far back as she can remember, her only companion has always been her grandfather.
Over the years, her grandfather has never mentioned her parents to her.
Moreover, whenever she asked about her parents, her grandfather would always change the subject or casually shift the topic, and sometimes he would simply disappear.
In short, he just wouldn't talk to her much about her parents.
This made her extremely depressed.
Now that her grandfather had brought it up himself, she certainly couldn't miss this opportunity to get to know her parents.
And so.
Dugu Yan immediately forgot the excitement she had just gained from practicing the poison technique and looked eagerly at her grandfather, hoping to learn more about her father and mother from him.
She asked nervously:
"My father and mother."
"Sigh~~"
Dugu Bo sighed again, and then said:
"Yanyan, your father and mother did not actually die in an accident, but rather from the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul."
"Regarding the backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom, this has to do with the secrets of the Dugu clan, because it involves the flaws in their inherited martial soul, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent."
Then.
Under the watchful gaze of his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, who looked utterly shocked.
Dugu Bo recounted to her in great detail the secrets of the Dugu clan, including the history of the family's development, the fatal flaw of the inherited martial soul, the Bilin Snake, the specific circumstances and characteristics of the Bilin Snake's venom backlash, and the cause of death of his son and daughter-in-law.
"Your grandfather has spent his whole life dealing with poisons, but I was helpless against the backlash from this Jade Phosphorus Snake venom. I could only watch helplessly as your father and mother both died tragically. That is the greatest pain of my life."
At this point, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel grief and self-reproach.
After listening to her grandfather's account, Dugu Yan finally learned the true cause of her parents' deaths and also realized the pain her grandfather had been carrying.
"grandfather."
Looking at her grandfather's regretful and self-reproachful expression, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. She quickly reached out her little hand, held her grandfather's hand tightly, and gently called out to him.
Feeling a slight chill from his granddaughter's small hand, Dugu Bo felt a little better. He gently patted his granddaughter's hand to indicate that he was alright.
The grandfather and grandson flew in silence for a long while.
At this moment, Dugu Yan broke the silence with her voice, which was full of worry as she asked:
"Since even the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has the problem of venom backlash, does that mean that Grandpa and I will both face this problem in the future?"
Dugu Bo nodded, then shook his head:
"Not in the future, but now."
"Yanyan, don't you often ask Grandpa why he always suddenly disappears without a trace?"
"Every time you ask Grandpa, he tells you it's because I have something important to do."
Actually, Grandpa lied.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately gave her a surprised look.
Dugu Bo smiled calmly, stroked his granddaughter's hair again, and said in a very even tone:
"The real reason is that the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom in Grandpa's body has erupted, and it takes time to suppress it."
"Actually, my grandfather had already been facing severe backlash from the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake for a very, very long time."
At this moment, Dugu Yan suddenly remembered that her grandfather had probably been busy suppressing the backlash of the toxins during the past month or so that he had disappeared recently.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of panic and gripped her grandfather's hand even tighter.
"Grandpa, you..."
Dugu Bo reached out and stopped her:
"Don't rush, let Grandpa finish speaking first."
"oh."
Although she was anxious and worried about her grandfather's condition, Dugu Yan still nodded obediently.
Then Dugu Bo continued:
"Fortunately, Grandpa has a blessed land."
"Thanks to that place, my grandfather survived the severe backlash from the venom of the blue-phosphorus snake time and time again."
Do you remember the medicinal herb garden that Grandpa once mentioned to you?
After a moment's hesitation, Dugu Yan raised her small face and replied:
"Is it the one in Sunset Forest?"
"right."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly. "Grandpa relied on it to not only suppress the backlash of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent's venom and live to this day, but also to evolve his martial soul from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent to the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor, and even break through to the Title Douluo realm."
"However, this also brings up a big problem."
"Those are the descendants who inherit my Azure Phosphorus Serpent King bloodline. The backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom will be even more intense. Once the backlash erupts, the pain and torment it brings will be several times greater, and it will be beyond the reach of medicine, and death will be certain."
"Your father died because of this, and your mother passed away after being infected by the poison he was poisoned by."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan looked at her beloved granddaughter and said to her:
"And you, Yan Yan, as my granddaughter, like your father, have inherited my Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor bloodline."
"Originally, any member of our Dugu clan who inherited the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul would face the backlash of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom from the moment the Martial Soul awakened."
"However, because you inherited my bloodline, the backlash from the toxins you suffered was brought forward, starting from the very beginning of your birth."
"Your hair and eye color, as well as the stagnation and stinging sensation in your soul power that you just mentioned, are all manifestations of toxins backfiring and eroding your body."
Dugu Bo paused, allowing his granddaughter, who was already somewhat dumbfounded, to process what he had said.
Then he continued:
"Since your father and mother died, your grandfather has been grieving deeply and, in order to prevent you from following in their footsteps, has been searching for a solution to the backlash from the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake all these years."
"Unfortunately, the answer remains elusive."
"Until recently, someone delivered a manual of poisonous martial arts techniques to my grandfather."
"Poisonous techniques? Is that it?"
Dugu Yan immediately took out the book on poison techniques that she had been carrying under her elbow.
"Yes, that's it."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly to her and smiled:
"Grandpa traded this for the medicinal herb garden in Sunset Forest."
"What?"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandpa, you were going to use that herb garden in Sunset Forest to suppress the poison backlash, right? You traded it to someone else, so what about your own poison backlash now?"
She was getting anxious.
But Dugu Bo was not in a hurry at all, and slowly said to her:
"It's alright, with this poison technique, we won't need that herb garden anymore."
"Have you forgotten how Grandpa introduced him to you before?"
"This poison technique is a powerful skill that can serve as the foundation for our Bilin Snake Dugu clan's survival and even lay the foundation for our eternal dynasty."
"Because it can completely resolve the backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's toxins."
Hearing her grandfather's words, Dugu Yan's previously anxious heart suddenly calmed down, and her expression gradually turned into surprise. She quickly looked up at her grandfather and asked incredulously:
"This poison technique... can it completely resolve the backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's toxins?"
"yes."
Dugu Bo nodded affirmatively:
"With it, not only you, but also your future children, will no longer have to worry about the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom. In this way, the Dugu clan will also have hope for survival and development."
"Child, child?"
Dugu Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Dugu Bo with annoyance:
"Grandpa, I'm only fifteen. Isn't it too early for you to be talking to me about children?"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily:
"Haha, didn't Grandpa say it's your future child, not now?"
"Oh dear, Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan let out a soft "Oh dear!" and, not wanting to dwell on the matter of children, quickly changed the subject, asking:
"And what about you, Grandpa? What about the backlash from the toxins in your body?"
"This one?"
Dugu Bo's expression turned slightly serious as he replied:
"Grandpa has been suffering from the backlash of toxins for many years."
"By now, the toxins have penetrated deep into my bone marrow, and the backlash from the toxins is becoming increasingly severe. I probably don't have many years left to live. But..."
Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then put on a mysterious expression.
"But what?"
Dugu Yan clenched her small fists and placed them on her bulging chest, feeling a little nervous.
"But with this poison technique, Grandpa will have no problem living to at least two hundred years old, haha~~~"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily.
"Oh dear, Grandpa, could you please stop breathing so heavily? I thought something was wrong with you, you scared me half to death."
Dugu Yan let out a deep breath, relieved, and playfully tossed her grandfather the back of her head.
"Don't worry, Grandpa won't get hurt. Grandpa will always be with you."
Dugu Bo offered words of comfort, then changed the subject:
"Yanyan, do you know who taught Grandpa this poisonous martial art?"
"Who is it?"
Dugu Yan turned her head back and asked curiously.
"He's the husband your grandfather found for you."
"It's him? How can he have such powerful skills?"
"Grandpa doesn't know. Why don't you ask him when you see him?"
"Oh dear, Grandpa, why do you always make me ask around? Can't you at least find out the details first before telling me?"
"Haha, Grandpa just wants to give you more topics to talk about when you meet him."
"Grandpa~~"
Dugu Yan's fair face turned red again.
He quickly changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, Grandpa, did Grandma also die from a backlash of the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom, just like Father and Mother?"
"That's not it."
Dugu Bo shook his head. "Your grandmother passed away from illness."
"Strictly speaking, in the Dugu clan, by the time of my grandfather's generation, there was not only my grandfather but also another member, your grandmother."
"However, your grandmother was an ordinary person without the talent of a Soul Master, and she was born with a weak constitution. She died of illness not long after giving birth to your father."
"Oh, I see."
Dugu Yan suddenly realized something, and her mouth dropped open in shock.
"Huh? Grandpa, you and Grandma are actually from the same generation of the clan? Then you two are...?"
