"Tell me your thoughts in detail."

Shi Quan said, "Senior, actually my method is for me to help Dugu Yan expel the poison. Because of my mutated Martial Spirit, my spirit power is quite special. It possesses strong Life force and is very sensitive to toxins, allowing it to counteract some poisons. With my assistance, Dugu Yan won't have to worry about the poison's backlash."

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "You help her expel the poison? Then why don't I just help Yan Yan expel the poison directly?"

"Because Senior cannot help Dugu Yan expel the poison. The toxins in Senior's body have probably integrated with your body over so many years, and Senior's spirit power should also be contaminated with a lot of toxins. The two types of toxins are of the same origin. If Senior's spirit power enters Dugu Yan's body to help her expel the poison, Junior fears that Senior will not only be unhelpful but might even do more harm than good."

Dugu Bo's expression stiffened. Shi Quan's concern was not entirely unfounded. He said with a rigid face, "Let me feel your spirit power."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's hand slowly rested on Shi Quan's shoulder.

Shi Quan immediately felt a cold Qi invade his body. The Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill within him also automatically activated at this moment, beginning to expel the cold Qi from his body.

"Can this kid's spirit power really remove poison?" Dugu Bo was instantly surprised and thought to himself, "A mutated Martial Spirit has this kind of ability?"

"It's just a pity that this kid's strength is too weak. If he were stronger, he might even be able to help me remove some poison as well." Dugu Bo sighed in his heart.

He couldn't let more people know about Dugu Yan's poisoning. Shi Quan's spirit power having detoxification ability could indeed be a great help.

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said, "Shi Quan, there aren't many people I admire, but you are one. You are not only intelligent, but your attainments in the Martial Spirit aspect are also astonishing. I, Dugu Bo, always keep my word. What I promised you, I will deliver. I'll trouble you with Yan Yan's matter."

"As for the method to suppress the toxins, I also found a special environment by Opportunity. It possesses extremely hot and extremely cold Qi. These two types of Qi are very powerful. Not only can they suppress toxins, but if an ordinary person stays there for a short time, they will be directly killed by the impact of this extremely hot and cold Qi. Even I cannot stay there for long. I can take you to see it. If it can help, that's best. If not, then Yan Yan's internal toxins can only rely on you to help her."

"It's done!" Shi Quan was excited and quickly agreed, "No problem, Senior, don't worry."

Dugu Bo then warned, "Regarding Yan Yan and my poisoning, I don't want anyone else to know, do you understand?"

Shi Quan nodded seriously: "Senior, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone."

As for Dugu Bo's own poison, Dugu Bo did not mention it. Shi Quan had already told him the solution. As for how to expel the poison, he would have to figure that out himself.

Shi Quan said that he didn't know much about medicine and poisons, so he naturally wouldn't pin his hopes for his own poison on Shi Quan. It was already an unexpected surprise for Shi Quan to point out such a clear Dao to him.

Shi Quan himself also did not mention the solution for Dugu Bo's poison, mainly because bringing it up would only invite trouble.

The most important thing was that if he said it, whether Dugu Bo would believe him was also a problem. Tang San was poisoned three times by Dugu Bo to prove his ability, and he had no way to prove it. He simply decided to only concern himself with Dugu Yan. Anyway, as long as he could enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, that would be enough. He would just find an excuse to snatch the Immortal Herb then and be done with it.

The two talked for a while longer, finally agreeing to make further arrangements after Dugu Bo found a suitable Spirit Bone for Dugu Yan.

"Grandpa, are you two done talking?"

Outside the door, Dugu Yan saw the two of them walk out of the room and immediately went up to them, throwing herself into Dugu Bo's arms with a hint of resentment, saying, "I thought you had forgotten all about me."

"How could that be?" Dugu Bo lovingly hugged Dugu Yan.

"Senior, Dugu Yan, I won't bother you two any longer. I'm heading back to the academy now."

Shi Quan naturally didn't want to watch the grandfather and granddaughter reunite here.

He bid farewell to the two.

And returned to the academy alone.

The matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was almost settled. As long as Dugu Bo found a suitable Spirit Bone for Dugu Yan, he could enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Once he reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, everything else would be easy to handle.

Overall, everything went relatively smoothly.

Early the next morning, as soon as Shi Quan arrived at the dormitory, Dugu Yan immediately sought him out and began to inquire about the content of his discussion with Dugu Bo yesterday.

It seemed Dugu Bo had not yet told her about her poisoning. Shi Quan naturally played Tai Chi, keeping the matter concealed.

Dugu Yan was indignant, but seeing Shi Quan bite down and not let go, she had no choice.

She could only clamor to spar with Shi Quan.

After a battle.

Shi Quan's immunity to all poisons became apparent.

Both the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill and Muscle and Marrow Cleansing possessed the effect of being immune to all poisons. With the two stacked, even though Dugu Yan's Rank was more than ten Ranks higher than Shi Quan's, her toxins still had no effect.

Everyone also gained a new understanding of Shi Quan's strength.

Days passed one by one.

Under Shi Quan's perfected training methods, in just three months, the strength of the Heaven Dou Battle Team members had all significantly improved. Each person's spirit power had increased by one Rank, and there were also noticeable changes in their respective training Domains.

...

On the training ground, everyone was training as usual.

"Yan Yan."

"Grandpa, why are you here!"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's familiar voice, Dugu Yan immediately turned around excitedly and rushed towards Dugu Bo's emerald green figure.

Yu Tianheng, who was beside Dugu Yan, felt Dugu Bo's eerie green gaze and couldn't help but shrink his head. He still stepped forward and respectfully called out, "Junior greets Senior."

Dugu Bo's identity as a Titled Douluo was there, and the rest of the people also quickly saluted.

Dugu Bo didn't even bother to acknowledge Yu Tianheng. After a brief glance at him, he picked up Dugu Yan, and his gaze fell on Shi Quan. "Shi Quan, the item is ready. You and I will go on a trip."

"No problem, Senior." Shi Quan's eyes lit up. Three months, he had waited for three months for this. He was almost withered like a flower, but thankfully Dugu Bo finally arrived.

"Keep up." Dugu Bo nodded, tapped his toes, and his figure, like a phantom, rushed into the distance.

"Go quickly." Qin Ming saw Shi Quan look back at him and quickly said, a Titled Douluo was looking for Shi Quan, so he dared not delay Shi Quan.

Shi Quan then quickly followed. Dugu Bo deliberately controlled his speed, otherwise, how could Shi Quan's strength keep up with Dugu Bo?

"Grandpa, what kind of item are you talking about?" Dugu Yan was also confused by being suddenly taken away by Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa has prepared a treasure for you. You'll know when we get there." Dugu Bo said mysteriously.

"Your speed is too slow. I'll take you." As soon as they exited the academy gate, Dugu Bo, holding Dugu Yan with one hand, directly lifted Shi Quan by the back of his collar like an eagle catching a chick, and instantly took off.

A cool breeze immediately brushed their faces, clothes flapped, and hair danced in the air.

Woohoo, taking off.

Watching everything around them flash by like shadows, Shi Quan quickly noticed that Dugu Bo did not seem to be heading towards Heaven Dou City.

"This direction is... Sunset Forest?" Shi Quan's eyes lit up.

He had originally thought he would have to wait, but now, was Dugu Bo planning to do it all in one go?

Shi Quan saw a large expanse of forest growing larger in the distance.

"Grandpa, what kind of treasure can be in the Sunset Forest? Isn't it full of Spirit Beasts?"

"You'll know when we get there." Dugu Bo continued to keep him in suspense.

Upon entering the forest, Dugu Bo's powerful aura spread out. Along the way, aside from the rapidly moving scenery that made one a bit dizzy, nothing else happened.

They traveled at high speed.

Soon, under Dugu Bo's lead, the three arrived and stopped at a cave on the mountainside of a five-hundred-meter hill.

Led by Dugu Bo, they entered the cave. After walking for a short while, the cave suddenly opened up.

There were stone stools and stone chairs, and on one side of the cave, there were many medicine bottles, which looked like poisons.

"Grandpa, is this your secret base?" Dugu Yan curiously surveyed her surroundings.

"More or less." As he spoke, Dugu Bo's arm swept across his waist, and a Spirit Bone emitting a emerald green light appeared in his hand.

The Spirit Bone was emerald green like jade all over, its bones bent and curled into a ball, with four pairs of ribs intertwined, but it could still generally be seen to be a torso bone.

"Yan Yan, this is the treasure Grandpa prepared for you." Dugu Bo handed the Spirit Bone in his hand to Dugu Yan.

"Grandpa, this is?" Dugu Yan took the Spirit Bone from Dugu Bo's hand, clearly stunned for a moment before reacting, and said excitedly, "Grandpa, is this a Spirit Bone?"

"That's right." Dugu Bo nodded, and said kindly, "This is a five-thousand-year-old Bi Lin Snake torso bone."

"And it's a Bi Lin Snake's? No wonder it feels so familiar." Dugu Yan trembled with excitement, then fiercely hugged Dugu Bo and gave him a big kiss.

"Bi Lin Snake? No wonder."

Shi Quan couldn't help but lament how good Dugu Bo was to Dugu Yan. During their discussion, Shi Quan had only briefly mentioned that a Spirit Bone of a poison-attribute Spirit Beast would be best, as it would be more compatible with Dugu Yan.

As a result, Dugu Bo painstakingly found a Spirit Bone from her Martial Spirit's own Spirit Beast for Dugu Yan, and it was even the most precious torso bone.

Three months... finding such a Bi Lin Snake Spirit Bone, who knew how many Bi Lin Snakes had died at Dugu Bo's hands in those three months.

"After this, I'm afraid the poison-attribute Spirit Beasts in the Sunset Forest will be significantly reduced, right?"

As Shi Quan thought, Dugu Bo had already begun to urge Dugu Yan to absorb the Spirit Bone, "Yan Yan, attach the Spirit Bone to the corresponding part, and you can absorb it. This Spirit Bone corresponds to your Martial Spirit, absorbing it will definitely be of great use to you."

Following Dugu Bo's instructions, Dugu Yan immediately sat cross-legged and then attached the Bi Lin Snake torso bone to her chest.

The emerald green Spirit Bone immediately transformed into a green light, merging into Dugu Yan's body...
