Moreover, Shi Yu's current strength is limited, and if Shi Yu wanted to befriend them, they probably wouldn't pay Shi Yu any mind.
"Who are the people Shi Yu can currently get in touch with?" Shi Yu pondered.
Shi Yu didn't even consider Tang San; meeting each other means fighting. Did Shi Yu still expect to resolve the feud with Tang San?
The other party's personality didn't seem like someone who would do that, and Shi Yu also had some backbone and wasn't willing to beg for forgiveness so abjectly.
Shi Yu himself wasn't wrong. In the original story, the Man-Faced Demon Spider might have belonged to Tang San, but this time Shi Yu encountered it. It was Tang San who snatched Shi Yu's Soul Ring and coveted Shi Yu's Soul Bone. The one in the wrong was Tang San.
For the other party's mistake, for Shi Yu to curry favor with Senior and admit fault, Shi Yu would rather die than do that.
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the other Shrek Seven Devils members seemed out of the question.
"Dugu Bo is currently the strongest person Shi Yu has encountered, but in ten thousand years, Shi Yu hasn't heard of any powerful Blue Scale Snake Senior. Shi Yu's bloodline is likely long gone, with no family remaining." Shi Yu thought of Dugu Bo, then quickly shook Shi Yu's head.
Senior seemed to only have one granddaughter, who most likely married Yu Tianheng. Their descendants' Martial Soul is more likely to be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
It's not hard to understand the discontinuation of Dugu Bo's Martial Soul.
Shi Yu then thought of the Douling Empire and Tian Soul Empire ten thousand years later.
The former's royal family is the Xue family, which might be the original Tian Dou Empire royal lineage.
If Shi Yu were to befriend the Xue family in this era, it might still influence the Douling Empire ten thousand years later.
By then, it might even happen that even though they know Shi Yu killed Xu Sanshi, they overlook it due to some actions Shi Yu took in this era.
"Xue Beng has a very good relationship with Prince Xue Xing, and Dugu Bo is Prince Xue Xing's guest elder. They are related, and it seems it can indeed be utilized," Shi Yu thought.
Thinking of Xue Beng, Shi Yu couldn't help but think of Senior's fake brother, Xue Qinghe.
A bold idea couldn't help but surface in Shi Yu's mind.
If Shi Yu now finds a way to reveal to Xue Beng that Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue in disguise, it might make Senior owe Shi Yu a huge favor, which could affect the Douling Empire's attitude towards Shi Yu ten thousand years later.
But what if Shi Yu told Xue Qinghe that Senior's profligate younger brother Xue Beng was faking it?
Would the course of history then be completely changed, and would there only be two countries on the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later: the Sun Moon Empire and the Martial Soul Empire?
It's even possible there would only be one country. If there was only one powerful country on the original Douluo Continent, after the Sun Moon Continent approached, the Martial Soul Empire might not necessarily be unable to destroy it.
"Let's not have such dangerous thoughts. This could lead to earth-shattering changes in the world ten thousand years later." Shi Yu shook Shi Yu's head vigorously, preventing Shi Yu from having this dangerous idea.
After this thought arose, Shi Yu's heart pounded, as if a great horror would occur if Shi Yu did so.
Intuition told Shi Yu that Shi Yu could appropriately change history, but not directly overturn it. Shi Yu might not be able to bear the consequences of that.
Shi Yu kept thinking until late at night, coming up with many ideas.
Shi Yu was already sleepy, but instead of going straight to sleep, Shi Yu took out some of the purchased medicinal materials and mixed them casually.
Shi Yu didn't understand the pairing of medicinal materials and just mixed them together randomly, regardless of whether eating them like this would cause problems.
If this could cause Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, to get sick, then it could only be said that Senior's Title Douluo title was undeserved.
After mixing the medicine, Shi Yu used a dagger to cut a gash on Shi Yu's right hand and dripped two drops of fresh blood into each pile of divided medicinal materials.
Shi Yu prepared a total of ten portions of medicinal materials for Dugu Bo. Let Senior try the effect first.
Without even bandaging the wound, the bleeding quickly stopped. An hour later, the wound on Shi Yu's hand had completely healed.
As Shi Yu's strength increased, the self-healing ability brought by the nine star begonia was also improving.
"Thump thump thump..." In the morning, a knocking sound rang out, and Shi Yu woke up immediately.
Shi Yu's sleep was very light. Dugu Bo was staying next door, so Shi Yu naturally didn't dare to sleep too soundly and didn't rule out the possibility of the other party doing something to Shi Yu.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo was relatively well-behaved and didn't do anything.
Shi Yu opened the door and indeed saw Dugu Bo.
"Is the medicine ready?" Dugu Bo asked, very concerned about this.
"It's ready. Take a packet and try the effect," Shi Yu picked up a packet of medicinal materials from the table and handed it to Dugu Bo.
This packet of medicine was about the size of a fist and needed to be boiled with water before consumption.
Shi Yu wasn't worried about Shi Yu's blood losing its effect under high heat. Blood with the medicinal properties of Fiery Apricot would not fear ordinary high temperatures.
"I'll go try it," Dugu Bo quickly left and returned to Shi Yu's room two hours later with the boiled medicinal materials.
"The medicine you prepared seems to just have the effect of activating muscles and bones. Is it really useful?" Dugu Bo questioned slightly.
Senior had secretly examined the medicinal materials just now. Knowing medicine, Senior knew the general effect of this prescription.
"You'll know if it's useful by trying it. To be honest, Senior, the most crucial ingredient inside is undetectable," Shi Yu said, feigning profundity.
Dugu Bo drank the medicine with suspicion and then tried to force the toxins in Shi Yu's body towards Shi Yu's skull.
The toxins in the body were tightly integrated with the flesh and blood throughout the body, so transferring them was not an easy task.
However, Senior quickly felt an abnormality. A fluctuating hot and cold energy appeared in Shi Yu's body, affecting Shi Yu's toxins and making their transfer much easier.
Dugu Bo showed a look of pleasant surprise and looked at Shi Yu.
Senior had been somewhat skeptical of Shi Yu before, but as the toxin transfer became smoother, Senior's skepticism quietly dissipated a lot.
Dugu Bo also maintained due vigilance, repeatedly checking and confirming Shi Yu's physical condition to see if there were any problems.
There weren't any. Shi Yu's body was very normal, surprisingly good.
Seeing Dugu Bo's reaction, Shi Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that it's useful. Shi Yu should be able to completely gain Senior's trust with this.
"You stay here and take advantage of the medicinal properties to force the toxins into your Soul Bone. I'm going out for a walk," Shi Yu said.
Dugu Bo paused, wanting to say something.
"Don't worry, I won't leave and not come back. Before I leave, I will definitely leave you more medicine," Shi Yu probably guessed what Dugu Bo wanted to say and responded in advance.
Dugu Bo smiled awkwardly and focused on forcing out the toxins.
Shi Yu left the room and went to the front desk to chat with the staff.
After Shi Yu revealed that Dugu Bo was Shi Yu's elder and a powerful Senior, the front desk staff were very polite to Shi Yu and answered almost every question.
Shi Yu inquired about whether there were any institutions like orphanages in the city.
Shi Yu's luck was quite good. There was an orphanage nearby, and it was quite large, with many abandoned children inside.
