Chapter 40: Risking Your Life and Future!
Quiet!
Deathly silence!
Liu Erlong took a sharp breath!
What an effect!
This was simply an incredible auxiliary ability!
With this cauldron, to what terrifying degree would Xiao Yin's cultivation speed increase?
Dugu Bo stood as if petrified, his emerald green pupils contracting violently, staring at the copper-colored pill in Xiao Yin's hand!
As a Titled Douluo, his perception of energy was razor-sharp.
The pure energy contained in that copper pill was gentle, devoid of any violent soul beast aura. It was indeed a tonic that could be absorbed directly!
To put it bluntly, Xiao Yin's third soul skill materialized the innate ability of the Taotie martial soul. This would undoubtedly save him immense time and enhance safety!
"Strip away the chaos… strip away the chaos…"
Dugu Bo muttered absentmindedly, a crazy idea striking his mind like lightning!
His eyes, previously dazed from shock, suddenly burst with an unprecedented fiery light!
"You… you mean… your cauldron… can strip away…"
His voice was dry and hoarse, trembling with uncontrollable excitement and hope as he pointed at Xiao Yin.
"Can it strip away… the poison that has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and entangled the martial soul?!"
"Exactly!"
Xiao Yin's voice rang out like a great bell, echoing at the edge of the silent forest with supreme confidence!
"This cauldron of mine can refine everything and remove all poisons! As long as the target voluntarily enters the cauldron and is guided by my soul power, the primordial energy generated within the cauldron can trace its origin and forcibly remove and refine the toxins accumulated in the body!
Whether it's deep in the bone marrow or attached to the martial soul! This is the method of removing the firewood from under the cauldron!"
Xiao Yin's gaze was like a sharp sword, locking onto Dugu Bo's bloodshot yet hopeful eyes, and he revealed his ultimate goal:
"The toxins in Senior's body are so deeply accumulated that they are almost fused with his martial soul. The process of removing them is bound to be extremely dangerous and will not be accomplished overnight. It requires a precious place that can stably suppress the backlash of the toxins as support!
Your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is only slightly poisoned, her essence intact. It's relatively easy to remove her poison! I'm willing to give it my all!
However, this requires Senior's complete trust and cooperation, and more importantly, it requires entering Senior's treasure land that can suppress the poison!
Only by leveraging the power of the intersection of yin and yang to stabilize the source of the poison that may erupt during the stripping process can we be absolutely sure of success!"
"A treasured place that suppresses the most poisonous substances… and removes all poisons… with absolute certainty…"
Dugu Bo muttered to himself, each word like a heavy hammer striking his heart.
He looked at the giant cauldron exuding a chaotic aura, then at Xiao Yin's young face brimming with unshakable confidence.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharpening with desperate determination and a hint of… unprecedented trust!
"Boy! Follow me!"
Dugu Bo's voice was hoarse but filled with undeniable urgency. "If you can really save Yanyan… I'll owe you a huge favor! But if you fail…"
The terrifying murderous intent filled the air again, but this time, it was a final warning hanging on the sword of hope!
A massive gamble, with life and future at stake, had been sealed!
Xiao Yin waved his hand to dismiss the black cauldron, a barely perceptible gleam flashing in his eyes.
Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, here I come!
After a moment's thought, he turned to Liu Erlong, who was breathing unsteadily but still holding on.
"Dean, you're seriously injured. Please return to the academy and wait for me."
Xiao Yin's voice was filled with unquestionable concern. He stepped forward and naturally held Liu Erlong's arm, feeling the slight trembling of her body at his touch.
"No! That place is too dangerous! Dugu Bo is moody…"
Liu Erlong immediately retorted, worry etched between her brows.
"Rest assured."
Xiao Yin interrupted her, his eyes steady. "I know my limits. I'm going to save someone, and it's also an opportunity. Besides, since you've already agreed, you'll protect me."
He glanced at Dugu Bo, who snorted coldly, a tacit acknowledgment.
After calming Liu Erlong, Xiao Yin silently commanded in his mind: "System, exchange for a 'Moonlight Solidifying Muscle Pill'!"
[Ding! Consumed 200 wish points to successfully exchange for 1 'Moonlight Solidifying Muscle Pill'. Current wish value: 1154.]
A pill radiating a strong breath of life appeared out of thin air in Xiao Yin's palm.
To avoid revealing the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's information, Xiao Yin opted for the pill's safety, given the hundred-thousand-year soul bone's significance. He would never expose it until he was stronger!
"Open your mouth." Xiao Yin brought the pill to Liu Erlong's lips without time for explanation.
Liu Erlong looked at the unfamiliar elixir, sensing the vitality emanating from it, a hint of surprise flashing in her phoenix eyes.
Trusting Xiao Yin instinctively, she parted her lips slightly, allowing him to place the pill in her mouth.
The pill melted instantly, and a warm, powerful torrent of life swept through her body!
Liu Erlong felt a jolt, her surging blood and qi calming rapidly. Her internal organs, injured by the Dragon Claw Violent Bear, felt as if they were soaked in a spiritual spring, waves of warmth soothing them.
Her pale face regained its rosy hue at a visible pace, and her weak aura steadily improved, recovering to 70–80% in moments!
"This… what a miraculous pill!"
Liu Erlong's eyes widened, feeling the surging vitality and rapidly healing injuries, her heart overwhelmed with shock.
The look she gave Xiao Yin grew even more complex. This kid had more secrets than she could fathom!
"This pill will help you recover quickly. Just wait for me at the academy. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
Xiao Yin, seeing Liu Erlong's revitalized face, felt relieved, his tone softening.
Liu Erlong gazed at him deeply, then glanced warily at Dugu Bo, who stood nearby with a gloomy aura. Finally, she nodded and whispered:
"Be careful… come back soon." Her tone lacked the dean's authority, carrying instead a woman's concern.
"Mm."
Xiao Yin responded without further delay, turning to Dugu Bo. "Senior, no time to waste. Let's go!"
Dugu Bo, already impatient, snorted coldly, grabbed Xiao Yin, and with a flash of dark green soul power, turned into a stream of light shooting into the sky.
After flying for about half an hour, the forest below grew more primal and wild.
Towering ancient trees blocked the sun, and the air was filled with faint miasma mixed with the scent of exotic herbs.
Dugu Bo suddenly stopped before a mountain wall mostly covered with vines and moss.
He landed on a protruding rock and let out a sharp, snake-like hiss toward a spot in the dense forest below.
Hiss—!
The sound wasn't loud but highly penetrating.
Moments later, the dense bushes below rustled, and an enchanting figure emerged like a snake.
Her short, dark purple hair glowed coldly in the dim light, her waist slender, her legs long, her swaying figure radiating natural charm.
It was Dugu Yan.
A hint of doubt crossed her cold, alluring face. Her green eyes first landed on Dugu Bo: "Grandpa? Why are you…"
Before she finished, her gaze was instantly drawn to the tall figure behind Dugu Bo!
"It's you?!"
