Oscar quickly stood up and returned the salute, saying, "I am Oscar, a junior. I have the honor of meeting Senior Yang Wudi. The reason for our visit today is to discuss some important matters."
He then introduced the elderly man beside him, who had also stood up: "This is my grandfather, the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. However, most people in the spirit master world prefer to address him as the Poison Douluo."
Hearing this introduction, Yang Wudi's eyes widened in surprise. No wonder he couldn't see through this old man. It turned out that he was the famous Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo! But why had they come to see him? With Dugu Bo being an expert in poisons, was he here to discuss the art of poison with him?
If that was the case, Yang Wudi would be pleased. After all, discussing and learning from a Title Douluo was something many people would dream of!
Yang Wudi bowed slightly and said, "I didn't realize I was in the presence of the Poison Douluo. Please forgive me for any disrespect."
Dugu Bo waved his hand and smiled, "No need for formalities. We came here simply to make friends. There's no need for such courtesy, Yang Clan Leader."
Hearing Dugu Bo's open mindedness, Yang Wudi was a bit surprised. After all, the rumors about Dugu Bo suggested that he was moody. Meeting him in person, it seemed those rumors were not to be fully trusted.
Seeing how relaxed and friendly Dugu Bo was, Yang Wudi couldn't help but laugh, "In that case, I will be less formal."
"May I ask why you have come here, Senior? Whatever assistance I can offer, I will gladly provide."
Dugu Bo chuckled and looked at Oscar. Oscar smiled and said, "This time, we've come to discuss a few matters with Senior Yang."
Yang Wudi raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
Oscar continued, "I've heard that the Breaking Clan is skilled in pharmacology and alchemy, and Senior Yang has great expertise in this area. We've come to learn from you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi felt a sense of joy inside, but then he turned to Dugu Bo and said, "Your Excellency is a master of poison. I have long wished to discuss and learn from you."
Dugu Bo chuckled and said, "It seems we've come to the right place. We will take the liberty of disturbing you for a few days."
Yang Wudi was not displeased at all. In fact, he felt delighted. If he could learn from a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo, it would be a great honor.
"If Your Excellency is willing to stay, it would truly honor my humble home," Yang Wudi said with a hearty laugh. "Why don't we have a meal first to rest and then discuss matters slowly afterward?"
Dugu Bo and Oscar smiled and nodded in agreement.
Soon, Yang Wudi waved his hand and ordered the servants to prepare food. The three of them had some tea and chatted. After a short while, the servants reported that the meal was ready.
At the dinner table, Yang Wudi was a bit excited. After all, Dugu Bo was a genuine Title Douluo, and an expert in poison at that. Having a chance to converse with him would be immensely helpful for Yang Wudi.
However, Dugu Bo was not the focus of the conversation at the moment. He focused on introducing Oscar. Although Oscar's soul power was only at level 45, he had reached it at the age of 14, which was already an extremely frightening achievement. Even the top geniuses on the continent of that time might not have had such strength.
When Yang Wudi learned that Oscar was also a master of pharmacology, he couldn't help but feel disbelief.
Oscar's talent was so high at the age of 14, he had already reached the terrifying level of 45. But on top of that, he had time to study pharmacology?
Alchemy was no easy path; it required long years of accumulation and experience to achieve anything. Even Yang Wudi, who had been dedicated to this field for many years, had only recently reached level 81.
Seeing someone whose talent and ability far surpassed his younger self, Yang Wudi could only feel admiration, mixed with a bit of envy.
Oscar then mentioned that they had come specifically to learn from Yang Wudi, and hoped he would not hold anything back.
If it were anyone else, they might think the other party was trying to pry into family secrets. But Yang Wudi didn't feel that way.
After all, with Dugu Bo's identity, he wouldn't be interested in anything as trivial as his family's business.
As for the profession of pharmacology, its status in the continent wasn't much higher than that of blacksmiths. Spirit masters were the dominant force, and other professions were mostly there to assist them.
The profession of pharmacists was nearly extinct, with the Breaking Clan being the only true inheritor of the tradition. Beyond them, there were very few legitimate lineages left.
So when Yang Wudi heard that Oscar wanted to learn, he didn't think of hiding anything. Instead, he felt pleased. A genius with such great talent was willing to invest time in studying pharmacology? That was the greatest recognition of their craft!
Without hesitation, Yang Wudi agreed to teach Oscar. Moreover, he was eager to discuss the art of poison with Dugu Bo, who was known for his mastery in it.
After all, Yang Wudi himself was quite passionate about poisons, and if he could learn some deeper insights from the Poison Douluo, it would be a great gain.
Only Yang Wudi knew that truly powerful poisons could even pose a great threat to Title Douluos. If he could get his hands on legendary poisons, even Title Douluos could be taken down.
