Chapter 77: The Ice Jade Scorpion Clan of Ultimate Ice That Abandoned Poison
The moment the words "Poison Douluo" were mentioned, the atmosphere in the chat group changed again.
A Titled Douluo.
And one famous for a strange, troublesome, deadly poison.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A Titled Douluo?!
Xiao Wu shrank into Lin Qingmo's arms in fright.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Dugu Bo? It's him!
Liu Erlong had naturally heard this name, and her expression turned serious.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: That old poison freak has a reclusive and temperamental personality, and his poison methods are extremely ruthless. Going to his territory to pick immortal herbs… How is that any different from pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth?
The worry she had just put down returned, even stronger than before.
Although Dugu Bo was known as the weakest Titled Douluo, that was only because his poison was far less effective against other Titled Douluo.
For soul masters below the Titled Douluo level, however, his poison was simply impossible to resist.
[Little Witch]: Don't act rashly, Ah Qing. A Titled Douluo isn't someone you can deal with. If you're discovered… you'll die.
[Green Grass]: Ah Qing, this is dangerous.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Yeah, yeah — Ah Qing, maybe don't go.
Everyone in the chat group tried to persuade Lin Qingmo to give up the dangerous idea.
No matter how miraculous immortal herbs were, they meant nothing if you lost your life trying to obtain them.
[Bingbing]: Hmph. It's just a Titled Douluo.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: "Just" a Titled Douluo? Hey — do you even know what a Titled Douluo represents?
[Big-Chest Kitty]: A Titled Douluo… incomparably powerful.
[Bingbing]: Really? Could they compare to the Three Kings of the Extreme North?
[Little Witch]: Uh… those are fierce beasts. How is that comparison meaningful?
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Tch. That's nonsense.
[Bingbing]: You!
[Ice and Snow Maiden]: Bing'er was only joking. There's no need to mind it.
[Bingbing]: …
[The Pope Herself]: @Dad Douluo, Ah Qing — where exactly is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? And what happened in that part of the story? I don't remember clearly.
[Dad Douluo]: Oh — the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is hidden deep inside the poison miasma of Sunset Forest. That place is far from simple.
Spirit City
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes.
"So it's in Sunset Forest."
She murmured, her fingers tapping lightly against the edge of the bed.
According to Lin Qingmo's explanation, the poison miasma should be the territory established by Dugu Bo.
She naturally knew of Dugu Bo, the so-called weakest Titled Douluo.
Back then, she had sent people to invite him to join Spirit Hall, but he had refused decisively.
Yue Guan also had some past conflicts with him.
Since it was his territory, things actually became simpler.
Either subdue him, or crush him.
She had just stood up, preparing to gather people to head to Sunset Forest, when new messages appeared on the light screen.
[Dad Douluo]: You've misunderstood one thing — I don't plan to oppose Dugu Bo. Maybe I can follow Tang San's method in the original story. As long as I can help him detoxify, it should be enough.
[Little Witch]: I've heard of Poison Douluo. He cultivates poison techniques — how could he be poisoned himself?
Ning Rongrong rested her chin in her hands, looking confused.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a vast intelligence network, yet she had never heard such secrets.
She only remembered her father saying that Poison Douluo was a dangerous and unpredictable person.
[Dad Douluo]: The poison technique he cultivates is extremely powerful, but it also poisoned him in return. Worse still, the toxin is hereditary.
[Dad Douluo]: His son died from poison outbreaks one after another. Now only he and his granddaughter Dugu Yan remain.
[Dad Douluo]: That's why, in the original story, Dugu Bo doted on Dugu Yan endlessly — she's his only family.
[Little Witch]: Something like that actually happened?!
Ning Rongrong's mouth opened wide in shock.
Dugu Bo, famous for poison, had actually been backlashed by his own poison and nearly lost his entire lineage.
If that spread, the entire soul-master world would laugh themselves to death.
[Big-Chest Kitty]: The backlash of power…
Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly, a complicated emotion flashing through her eyes.
If she could become a powerful Titled Douluo, such a price and backlash would be insignificant.
[Ice and Snow Maiden]: It should be called "the price of power."
[Bingbing]: Serves him right.
"Humans are ridiculous — being backlashed by their own power."
"No, their power comes from stealing the strength of soul beasts in the first place. They deserve it."
The Ice Empress slapped her tail against the ice, producing cracking sounds, her voice filled with schadenfreude.
At the same time, she showed disdain for poison.
[Bingbing]: What's so good about poison? Ice is eternal beauty!
The Ice Jade Scorpion clan had completely abandoned the poison attribute.
All Ice Jade Scorpions possessed only ice attribute power, and it was Ultimate Ice — the supreme power.
Bibi Dong's gaze fell on the latest message, and the corner of her lips curved slightly.
Very good — she had learned more secrets about Dugu Bo.
At the same time, she roughly understood Lin Qingmo's plan.
[The Pope Herself]: Ah Qing, you're planning to approach Dugu Yan to connect with Dugu Bo, aren't you?
[Dad Douluo]: Exactly. Dugu Yan also inherited the toxin. It's not as severe as Dugu Bo's, but her green hair proves it.
[Dad Douluo]: If I can provide a method to cure Dugu Yan — or directly detoxify her — I'll definitely gain Dugu Bo's favor. That's exactly what Tang San did.
[Dad Douluo]: Dugu Bo may be sinister and cunning, but he values loyalty and emotion. At that point, entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well won't be a problem.
[The Pope Herself]: Then how do you detoxify them?
She was very interested in the method Tang San used to detoxify Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Perhaps she could use a more direct method to help Lin Qingmo seize the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
That child's fourth soul ring must be ten-thousand-year level.
[Dad Douluo]: There are two methods to deal with the toxin in their bodies. One is to find specific immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and treat them accordingly.
[Dad Douluo]: The other method is simpler and more brutal — force the toxin into a soul bone. But this only suppresses the toxin temporarily and can't eliminate it, and it requires extremely high-quality soul bones.
Lin Qingmo felt conflicted.
To approach Dugu Yan, he would need to visit the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Demonstrating detoxification methods to someone like Dugu Bo wouldn't be easy either.
In the original story, Tang San had endured three tests from Dugu Bo before gaining his trust.
But Lin Qingmo knew nothing about poison — how could he pass such tests?
Thinking about this, he began to retreat in his mind.
[Dad Douluo]: Sigh… this is difficult. I'm thinking about asking my master directly.
After all, Sister Donghuang was a Titled Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring — dealing with Dugu Bo shouldn't be a problem.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Having your master directly go to Dugu Bo and seize it would indeed be simpler and safer than your own planning.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Mm-hm! Let's do that, Ah Qing. Safety is most important.
Spirit City
Seeing how much Lin Qingmo relied on her, Bibi Dong's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan — all key information had been obtained.
"Ah Qing really is an honest child."
She murmured, a trace of warmth flashing in her eyes.
"In that case, your ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring will be prepared by your master."
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well — she was determined to obtain it.
