While they were arguing, above the heavenly curtain, Yu Chen had already begun to list all the herbs needed to detoxify Dugu Bo.
The key ingredients were none other than the Inferno Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, which had existed for many years within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
...
"Brother Dugu, the reason you were able to break through here and successfully suppress the potent toxins within your poison cultivation is entirely due to the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The extreme cold yin spring and scorching hot yang spring within this Yin Yang Well have a natural suppressive effect on any poison.
If you cultivate here, even without actively detoxifying your body, living to a hundred years old would not be an issue.
And my intention in having you consume the Inferno Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass this time is similar. Although both these herbs are highly poisonous, one is ice and the other is fire. When consumed simultaneously, they perfectly counteract and complement each other, essentially forming a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within your body. However, acting in this manner also has a drawback: while detoxifying, your proud poison cultivation will also be neutralized."
Dugu Bo, who had been calm just a moment ago, frowned upon hearing this and pressed further, "You mean, while detoxifying, my title of Poison Douluo will also cease to exist?"
"Exactly. So, you must carefully consider whether you wish to detoxify in this manner."
Yu Chen nodded.
After saying this, he seemed to leave Dugu Bo time to consider, not adding anything further.
...
Seeing his silence, below the heavenly curtain, Dugu Yan became anxious.
She immediately turned to her grandfather, Dugu Bo, and asked, "Grandpa, what do you think?"
"Is the detoxification method Yu Chen mentioned on the heavenly curtain really viable?"
Hearing her question, Dugu Bo did not reply.
Instead, he lowered his head and muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear.
The more he spoke, the more excited his expression became.
"Inferno Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass... constructing a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within the body. This truly is a perfect solution! Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! Why didn't I think of this before?"
Seeing her grandfather's reaction, Dugu Yan knew that most of Yu Chen's words were correct.
Thinking this, she couldn't help but look up and exclaim, "A genius is truly a genius!"
"Is this really knowledge one can acquire just by studying? It's simply incredible!"
As she spoke, little stars couldn't help but appear in her eyes, clearly indicating extreme admiration.
She felt as if the entire person on the heavenly curtain was glowing.
Hearing her words, Dugu Bo came back to his senses and couldn't help but agree.
At this moment, he showed exceptional understanding and support for his parallel World self's decision.
In fact, if he were in the other's shoes, he might have been even more excited.
"Who says otherwise? Before Yu Chen, I never imagined anyone could be so knowledgeable."
"My parallel World self truly has good fortune. To meet him at such a young age, unlike me, who at this old age, only encounters a scheming, reputation-seeking scoundrel."
However, after speaking, his gaze turned cold, subtly glancing at Tang San, who was lying in the flower bed nearby.
It was clear that after the comparison, the straightforward Dugu Bo increasingly looked down on Tang San.
Feeling his gaze and listening to Yu Chen eloquently discuss various detoxification methods on the heavenly curtain, Tang San, whose hands and feet were bound, felt a chill run through him and was filled with anxiety.
He felt that Yu Chen on the heavenly curtain wasn't offering a detoxification method at all.
He was clearly blocking his path to survival.
The reason was simple: the detoxification method Yu Chen was currently presenting was exactly the same as what he had conceived, with no differences whatsoever.
At this moment, he truly wanted to shout from the bottom of his heart, "Yu Chen, you shameless scoundrel, everything you're saying is my line!"
But it was useless. Even with his Mysterious Heaven Skill, he couldn't completely dispel the poison Dugu Bo had inflicted in a short time. His mouth could only make muffled, indistinct sounds, and his body twisted on the ground like a maggot.
Dugu Yan, standing nearby, frowned repeatedly.
The few good feelings she had accumulated for Tang San after being attracted by his handsome demeanor in the Great Spirit Arena had now completely dissipated and vanished.
However, the dissipation of good feelings was one thing.
Seeing him twisting in front of her, she thought for a moment and then had Dugu Bo unseal Tang San's mouth.
Looking down at him, she asked Tang San again, "What? Things have come to this, and the detoxification method has already been revealed. Tang San, what else do you have to argue about?"
"You're not going to tell us now that the detoxification method you intended to provide is exactly the same as Yu Chen's in this parallel World, are you?"
Her intention in asking this was to see Tang San kneeling, begging for mercy, and weeping bitterly.
However, Tang San clearly had no intention of giving up.
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, he didn't explain anything.
Instead, he immediately turned to Dugu Bo and added, "No need to dispel your poison cultivation!"
"Senior Dugu Bo, there's no need to dispel your poison cultivation; that's too much trouble!"
"Let this junior handle it. I'm 80% confident I can preserve your poison cultivation!"
Things were different now. Tang San knew the current situation was special and no longer a time when he could manipulate Dugu Bo.
So, his words this time were very pragmatic. Not only did he completely stop mentioning anything about becoming sworn friends, but he also naturally used an honorific for Dugu Bo.
Furthermore, his words went straight to the point, immediately clarifying the crux of the problem, and once again reasserting his importance.
Hearing him say this, Dugu Bo, who had been staring intently at the heavenly curtain, finally turned his head, clearly intrigued by what Tang San had just said.
He finally spoke, asking him, "Eighty percent chance of preserving my poison cultivation? Tang San, do you know the consequences of speaking nonsense at such a critical juncture?"
Tang San's spirits lifted, and he immediately made his request, "Of course I know. As long as Senior is willing to let Tang San become your disciple, I will immediately present the detoxification method with both hands!"
However, Dugu Bo, who had originally intended to take Tang San as a disciple, scoffed upon hearing his words. "Become my disciple? Do people like you even deserve to be my disciple?"
Tang San saw this and wasn't angry.
However, before Tang San could get excited and add anything further, Yu Chen's voice came from above the heavenly curtain.
This single sentence caused Tang San's heart to plummet to the bottom once again.
"Brother Dugu, have you made up your mind?
Actually, if Brother Dugu is reluctant to part with his poison cultivation, this younger brother also has a method that achieves both."
Above the heavenly curtain, Yu Chen spoke with a beaming smile.
Seeing his appearance, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, whose attention had just been drawn by Tang San, naturally had their eyes light up. They both looked up in unison, gazing at the heavenly curtain once more.
While they were filled with curiosity, Tang San, still in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well flower bed, felt a bone-chilling coldness emanating from Yu Chen's gentle smile on the heavenly curtain, rising from his heels, up his spine, and straight to the crown of his head.
He felt that this guy was a hundred times more terrifying and sinister than a demon that had crawled out of hell!
