Inside the room, a lavish meal was spread out.
The aroma of the dishes filled the entire room, and Su Biluo's mother smiled as she entered the kitchen.
She brought out golden fried fish and placed it on the table.
She smiled and said to Zhuge Lan,
"This is fish Bìluò caught this morning; it's very fresh. Please try some."
Su Biluo also smiled and said,
"Zhuge Gege, this fish is so plump and delicious, you must try it."
Zhuge Lan nodded. The fish looked golden-yellow, and its aroma had already reached his mouth from the table, making him involuntarily salivate a little.
In this situation, he couldn't resist taking a bite.
It was tender and incredibly delicious; truly good.
"It's too delicious, Senior Dugu, you should eat too!"
Dugu Bo picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, and a look of delight appeared on his face, then he began to eat heartily.
"Not bad, not bad at all. Truly good."
A wonderful meal concluded with everyone's enjoyment.
Dugu Bo asked,
"Zhuge Lan, what are your plans next?"
"Currently, Spirit Hall is targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been kind to me, and Ning Rongrong is a very good friend of mine, so I have to go save them."
Zhuge Lan stated firmly. If Ning Rongrong were to be harmed, he would not forgive himself.
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"That makes sense. As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School went against the colossal Spirit Hall for you. If they encounter danger, we must rescue them. Do you have a plan for how to save them?"
Zhuge Lan knew that the colossal Spirit Hall would be difficult to eliminate in one go. He could only accumulate strength and completely crush them when their overall power surpassed Spirit Hall's.
Before that, what he had to do was resist Spirit Hall's attacks.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was his steadfast and powerful ally, and he had to protect them.
Although the Speed Clan had a better relationship with him, the Speed Clan's strength had suffered a huge blow, and it was already very difficult for them to hold onto their territory.
Currently, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was capable of taking the initiative.
He looked at Dugu Bo and began to explain.
"My current strategy is to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then contact more forces that oppose Spirit Hall, to jointly resist Spirit Hall. Once we are certain of victory, we will launch a general offensive against Spirit Hall."
Dugu Bo nodded.
"That's acceptable. Spirit Hall has, after all, been entrenched above various countries for far too long. The people have grown accustomed to its existence. To contend with it is not something that can be achieved overnight; we must slowly accumulate strength. Your strategy is correct."
Zhuge Lan nodded. While Dugu Bo's strength among the Titled Douluo was good, there was still a certain distance between him and the truly top-tier Titled Douluo. He would find a way to cultivate Dugu Bo into a top-tier Titled Douluo, capable of competing with Spirit Hall's venerables.
After all, fighting against the massive organization that is Spirit Hall could not rely solely on him.
After much thought, he recalled the mysterious poison formula Dugu Bo had found from Spirit Hall.
"Senior Dugu, how many of the medicinal ingredients on that poison formula have you gathered?"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
"There are too many poisonous substances on this formula, and they are extremely rare. Collecting them by myself, I've only managed to obtain about a tenth of them so far. It would be wonderful if someone could help me search."
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up. "Senior Dugu, that's easy to handle. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's influence spans the entire continent. With their help, the poisonous substances you need should be found quickly, allowing you to further enhance your strength."
Dugu Bo replied excitedly,
"That makes sense! Meeting you, young man, is truly like meeting a lucky star; all good fortune has come. This time, when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is in trouble, after we rescue them, if I propose that they help search for the poisonous substances, they should not refuse."
Zhuge Lan raised his wine glass and clinked it with Dugu Bo's. This was excellent; with their goals aligned, they could accomplish things even better.
After dinner, Zhuge Lan suggested whether they should head directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was currently in a critical situation, and it was better to go as early as possible.
Dugu Bo's face showed a hint of difficulty, and he said awkwardly,
"I found traces of a poisonous substance two days ago, and I believe I can catch it within these two days. Could you give me two days' time?"
Zhuge Lan thought for a moment. Catching this poisonous substance would definitely be better sooner rather than later. It would be even better to go with Dugu Bo, as that would allow them to catch the poisonous substance more quickly.
"I'll go with you."
The next night, the two arrived at a swamp in the Sunset Forest.
They hid, lurking in a large tree.
Zhuge Lan quietly asked,
"Senior Dugu, what kind of poisonous creature are you trying to catch?"
"A Red Arrow Frog, a poisonous creature that lives in swamps. It's said that if you come into contact with the Red Arrow Frog's venom, your body will quickly rot. Be careful later."
Dugu Bo explained.
Zhuge Lan wasn't very familiar with Red Arrow Frogs, but hearing that contact with their venom would cause skin to rot, he became worried.
After all, if his handsome face were to come into contact with the venom and start to rot, he would not accept it.
Thinking of this, he began to search in the system store.
He searched in the 'Detoxification Supplies' section and finally found something cheap and useful.
[Isolation Poison Membrane, can isolate poisonous liquids, especially those from frogs and snakes. Price: 400 Emotions Points]
Without any hesitation, he immediately bought two Isolation Poison Membranes and handed one to Dugu Bo.
Under Dugu Bo's puzzled gaze, Zhuge Lan explained,
"Senior Dugu, this item, when worn, can isolate the toxins of the Red Arrow Frog. When you catch it later, you won't be infected by the Red Arrow Frog's liquid."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he quickly put on the Isolation Poison Membrane. The Isolation Poison Membrane was like a transparent item, worn over his clothes, and was not noticeable.
Zhuge Lan also put on the Isolation Poison Membrane he held. There was no discomfort; it was very effective.
As night deepened, the croaking sounds from the surroundings grew louder and louder.
A red Red Arrow Frog began to forage in the swamp, looking for insects and smaller fish to eat.
From its aura, Zhuge Lan could tell that this was a ten-year Spirit Beast Red Arrow Frog, which was a bit too weak for them.
Dugu Bo extended a finger, made a silent gesture, and then mouthed,
"Kid, we don't want the ten-year Spirit Beast Red Arrow Frog. Let's wait. Is there a thousand-year Spirit Beast Red Arrow Frog? If not, a hundred-year one will do."
Zhuge Lan understood the gesture and then made a gesture of understanding.
Then, they waited quietly.
