"Are you sure you can do it?"
When he asked this, Dugu Bo's eyes were fixed on Yu Yan's every move, trying to judge from his subtle actions whether he truly had confidence.
The focused observation of a Titled Douluo made every small movement and every breath of Yu Yan's clearly visible to Dugu Bo.
"Of course."
Yu Yan's answer was crisp and straightforward, his expression calm and composed, without the slightest hint of lying.
Confidence can be contagious. Yu Yan's confident attitude gave the originally skeptical Dugu Bo a bit more confidence.
Perhaps this kid really can solve these problems?
This thought appeared in Dugu Bo's mind for no apparent reason and occupied it, refusing to leave.
"Kid, talking so big, aren't you afraid of failure?"
Dugu Bo only had a sliver of belief; he was still testing the background of the kid in front of him.
"If I were going to fail, why would I come to make a deal with a Titled Douluo? I believe you can also see that I am a Genius, and still very young, with the opportunity to become a Titled Douluo in the future. I wouldn't joke with my own life."
Looking directly into Dugu Bo's eyes, Yu Yan expressed his confidence word by word.
Dugu Bo, who believed yet didn't fully believe, asked Yu Yan several more questions in succession, and Yu Yan gave direct answers to all of them.
This confident attitude even gave Dugu Bo a feeling that this kid could definitely succeed. Shaking this inexplicable feeling out of his head, Dugu Bo looked at the self-assured kid before him and asked another crucial question:
"What do you want to get from me?"
After temporarily addressing the issue he cared about most, Dugu Bo asked another question that concerned him.
This was a trade. Since he was getting such a huge benefit, what did the other party want? This was a question that had to be considered. If this kid wanted him to risk his life against some Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo really had to think carefully about whether it was worth it.
"Senior Dugu, I want that Medicine Garden of yours in the Sunset Forest."
Yu Yan had no intention of hiding his thoughts; he spoke bluntly about what he wanted.
Old guys like Dugu Bo were experienced, complex-minded, and even a bit cynical. The more you disguised yourself in front of him, the more he would suspect you.
Facing such a person, Yu Yan's judgment was to open up the conversation and be direct, so that at least both sides would be on the same level of understanding, avoiding a ridiculous situation where both parties were guessing each other's motives.
Tang San took the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for himself by treating the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.
On Yu Yan's side, he was not only solving Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison but also providing a Spirit evolution service for Dugu Yan. There was no reason he couldn't get the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in exchange.
"How did you know I have a Medicine Garden there?"
Dugu Bo's spirit power pressure had already surrounded Yu Yan. If Yu Yan's answer failed to satisfy him, he would give Yu Yan a lesson.
"When I was obtaining a spirit ring in the Sunset Forest, I once saw you, Senior, fly out from a valley shrouded in Poisonous Mist. Out of curiosity, I climbed to the top to inspect that mountain range and found that it looked very much like a treasure land I had read about in ancient books. It would be of great use to me, even more beneficial than what the crystal dragon blood ginseng brought me."
"Therefore, I want to use these things to exchange for that Medicine Garden."
In the middle area of the Sunset Forest, a valley shrouded in Poisonous Mist that was impossible to enter was both hard and not hard to find. Yu Yan had spent a few gold coins to obtain the specific location; the rest was all just Yu Yan's nonsense.

In the middle area of the Sunset Forest, a valley shrouded in Poisonous Mist that was impossible to enter was both hard and not hard to find. Yu Yan had spent a few gold coins to obtain the specific location; the rest was all just Yu Yan's nonsense.
"I see."
Dugu Bo didn't remember Yu Yan's name, but he did remember Yu Yan's special Ice and Fire Twin Fish Martial Soul. Corresponding it to the Ice and Fire Springs in his Medicine Garden, Dugu Bo felt that things had become reasonable and normal.
Having roughly figured out the sequence of events and knowing the cause and effect of the other party coming to his door, Dugu Bo lay back in his chair and picked up the teacup next to him: "Kid, can you tell me what is in my Medicine Garden that makes you willing to pay such a price to get it?"
As Dugu Bo lay down, Yu Yan could feel the spirit power pressure around him quietly dissipate, which meant Dugu Bo had tentatively accepted his explanation.
"That is a secret, it's not convenient to tell you, Senior."
Yu Yan would naturally tell Dugu Bo what should be said and what could be said.
But this question was clearly not within the scope of what Yu Yan could answer. He could never tell Dugu Bo about the uses of the blazing apricot cactus and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, or the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"What if I insist?"
Dugu Bo still lay there, his flat and slightly cold voice betraying no emotional change.
"Senior, please do not make things difficult for me."
Yu Yan spoke very tactfully, but the meaning he wanted to express was very clear: he would not say.
A silent atmosphere surrounded the two of them. As time passed second by second, Dugu Bo kept staring at Yu Yan, and Yu Yan stared back at Dugu Bo without showing any weakness.
"Hahaha, kid, you've got guts! I agree to this deal. As long as you can cure the poison in me and help my granddaughter's Spirit evolve, that Medicine Garden will be yours."
After ten minutes, Dugu Bo, knowing Yu Yan wouldn't talk, chose not to continue the silent confrontation. In this deal, what he could get was already enough; there was no need to keep prying into someone else's secrets.
"Thank you, Senior."
Since Dugu Bo had made a concession, Yu Yan naturally had to express his attitude as well; this was the most basic of human social graces.
"You solve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison in me first, and then help Yanyan with her Spirit evolution, how about it?"
This was equivalent to a test. Only by solving his Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison could Dugu Bo completely believe that this kid had the ability to help Yanyan's Spirit evolve and dare to let his granddaughter use this kid's method.
"If it failed, Dugu Bo would let this kid know what price one must pay for deceiving a Titled Douluo."
"Whoever goes first is entirely up to you, Senior."
Yu Yan had no preference regarding who went first between Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. His method wasn't fake, so there was nothing to fear.
"Alright, now you should be able to tell me in detail how you plan to remove the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison from my body."
Before reaching a cooperation agreement, Dugu Bo had not asked Yu Yan exactly what method he intended to use to solve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison he suffered from.
Now that he had agreed to the kid's trade request, he could naturally ask about the method to solve his own Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.
This Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison had tortured him for many years, forcing him to stay in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well year-round to suppress it. If possible, Dugu Bo also wanted to spend more time outside with Yanyan, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
Based on this, solving the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was, in a sense, Dugu Bo's greatest wish in this life.
Believing Yu Yan was only a small part of the reason; wanting to solve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was the biggest part.
