In a cave on a hill about five hundred meters high in the Sunset Forest.
"Which power does this kid belong to?"
Dugu Bo looked at Tang Si lying on the ground, his eyes glowing with the cold light of a venomous snake.
He would never believe that a young brat could so easily break the Jade Phosphor Serpent poison.
Especially the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons that his granddaughter had mentioned.
After Dugu Bo had experimented with it himself, although he had not been able to concoct the great tonic his granddaughter had spoken of, the toxicity of that mixed poison was thousands, even tens of thousands of times greater than ordinary snake venom.
Such a heaven-defyingly brilliant idea could not have been developed without generations of research.
"The Upper Three Sects? The two great empires? Or the Spirit Hall!"
Dugu Bo held Lu Feng's soul tool in his hand and examined it carefully. Looking at the angel pattern carved on it, his eyes became thoughtful.
"Is this kid's master Chrysanthemum Pass? Does he have that kind of ability?"
One figure after another flashed through Dugu Bo's mind, but he ruled them out one by one.
On the entire continent, there were a few people who were better at using poison than him. But a poison-making method that even he couldn't understand was something Dugu Bo had never seen before.
"You can stop pretending since you're awake. There's no need to show off your little tricks in front of a Titled Douluo," Dugu Bo said coldly.
Lu Feng did a carp flip and sat up. He did not speak but just looked at Dugu Bo coldly.
He silently circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and found that there were no soul power restrictions in his body, nor had he been poisoned.
"Senior Dugu kidnapped me in the middle of the night. What is your advice?" Lu Feng said lightly.
Lu Feng secretly reminded himself that he had thought of Titled Douluo as too simple.
Those who could cultivate to the Titled Douluo realm all had one-in-a-million mental fortitude. For them, fame, power, family, and even their own lives might have long been set aside.
They were not people who could be easily manipulated with just a detoxification method.
Even if the person before him was jokingly called the 'weakest Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent'.
Lu Feng stared at Dugu Bo, his eyes narrowed, thinking about how to break the stalemate. Dugu Bo also sized up Lu Feng. For a moment, the scene fell into silence.
"Not bad, you've got guts."
A green light flickered in Dugu Bo's eyes. "I heard that you diagnosed the snake poison in Yan Yan's body and even asserted that this old man is also poisoned?"
"Hahaha!" Dugu Bo suddenly burst out laughing. "What a joke. My poison would poison me? This old man is seventy-eight years old this year. It's only ever been me poisoning others; there's never been a time when others have poisoned me."
Looking at Dugu Bo with his hands behind his back and a proud expression, the corner of Lu Feng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This stubborn look of Dugu Bo's, could it have been inherited from Dugu Yan?
"You scared me; I almost thought you were an expert. After all this, it turns out you just can't bring yourself to admit it and want to put on a show in front of a junior like me?" Lu Feng shook his head helplessly.
"Has Senior Dugu ever heard the principle that 'a healer cannot heal himself'?" Lu Feng said lightly.
"Every time it's cloudy and rainy, do you feel a numb itch on your sides? And every late night, do you feel a needle-like stinging pain on the top of your head and the soles of your feet? Senior Dugu, am I wrong in the slightest?"
"You, how did you know?" Dugu Bo couldn't contain his surprise and blurted it out subconsciously.
Soon, Dugu Bo came back to his senses and coughed lightly. "Yan Yan is really something, telling you even about these old ailments of mine. A grown daughter truly can't be kept at home."
Lu Feng looked at Dugu Bo speechlessly. He suddenly felt that this old fellow was a bit improper.
He recalled Dugu Yan's warning to 'not make a fool of yourself', and he seemed to understand what that meant.
"May I diagnose you, sir?" Lu Feng looked at the bracelet on Dugu Bo's hand and frowned slightly. "Senior, could you please return my soul tool to me first."
"Swish." Dugu Bo tossed his right hand, and the bracelet landed steadily in Lu Feng's pocket.
"This soul tool is of good quality. Kid, you can check if any items are missing," Dugu Bo asked lightly.
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lu Feng actually taking out the items one by one.
"Hey, kid, you're going too far!" Dugu Bo said, a bit exasperated. "I am a dignified Titled Douluo. How could I covet the things of a little brat like you."
As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, he saw Lu Feng take out a small medicine bottle from his soul tool.
A faint floral fragrance wafted out through the bottle stopper. Dugu Bo sniffed it and immediately felt refreshed. Even the pain on his sides seemed to have eased a little.
"Kid, what is this?" Dugu Bo flashed over and snatched the small medicine bottle.
He uncorked the bottle and took a deep sniff, immediately feeling a shiver run through his body.
What followed was a long-lost feeling of relaxation.
In that instant, Dugu Bo even felt as if he had returned to his youth.
"Just a little something. If Senior Dugu likes it, feel free to take it," Lu Feng said with a faint smile.
The medicine in the small bottle was called 'White Ghost Powder', a poison extracted from a plant called the White Ghost Umbrella.
The environment where the White Ghost Umbrella grew was teeming with venomous snakes; the two had a symbiotic relationship. The White Ghost Umbrella grew by absorbing snake spittle. A single one the size of a palm would take over a hundred years.
The refined 'White Ghost Powder' had a strong attractive effect on venomous snakes. For a soul master with a venomous snake martial soul, it was also a fatal temptation.
After deciding to detoxify Dugu Bo, Lu Feng had made thorough preparations.
The White Ghost Powder could not solve Dugu Bo's snake poison, but this thing was like Viagra, with a strong seductive power. Once tried, Dugu Bo would suddenly feel that he was capable again, and then he wouldn't be able to stop.
"Hmph, since you insist on giving it, this old man will reluctantly accept it."
After speaking, Dugu Bo took another deep sniff, then carefully put it into his soul tool.
"Senior Dugu, may I diagnose you?" Lu Feng took out a small cloth bag from his soul tool and said lightly.
After a short time together, Lu Feng felt that Dugu Bo was like a playful old child.
Perhaps it's because of his mentality, Lu Feng thought to himself.
Dugu Bo had said he was already seventy-eight years old, but he looked to be only in his thirties.
Lu Feng recalled Tang Hao from Holy Spirit Village. With his bearded and scruffy appearance, if he stood next to Tang San, some people might even believe he was Tang San's grandfather.
Lu Feng placed two fingers on Dugu Bo's pulse, and his soul power slowly probed inside.
However, after his soul power entered Dugu Bo's body, it was like a carriage stuck in a swamp, moving slowly. Before long, it came to a complete standstill.
The ever-successful [Light Attribute] was also as if it had met its natural enemy. As soon as it entered Dugu Bo's body, it was disintegrated by his snake poison. After only examining one arm, it was completely consumed.
"Kid, can you even do it?" Dugu Bo asked teasingly, looking at Lu Feng, whose forehead was beginning to break out in a fine sweat.
He had already tried his best to control his soul power so as not to obstruct Lu Feng's investigation.
But the instinctive reaction of a Titled Douluo's body would repel all external forces. It was precisely because of this that the poison attribute would be greatly weakened in a battle between Titled Douluo.
And because of this, Dugu Bo was jokingly called the weakest Titled Douluo.
At this moment, Dugu Bo chuckled lightly. "Kid, Yan Yan praised you so highly, but now it seems you're not all that great."
"How about this? In a moment, I will inflict three kinds of poison on you. As long as you can withstand the poisons I inflict with your own concocted antidotes, it will prove that you are qualified to detoxify me."
"Kid, do you dare to accept the challenge?" Dugu Bo said proudly.
Hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his mind.
What is this old fellow up to now?
Still testing me?
I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and you kidnapped me without a word. Are you playing house with me?
"Sigh~" Lu Feng let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. "Kid, what's wrong?"
Lu Feng spread his hands and said teasingly, "Senior Dugu, the snake poison in your body is much more serious than I thought. It's hopeless. Just wait for death!"
