In Douluo Continent, swearing on one's Martial Soul was solemn and sacred.
Although it wasn't absolute, it could be considered a form of insurance.
Moreover, if Dugu Bo went back on his word, he could destroy this Medicine Garden.
Even if the negotiation succeeded, Quan Yi wouldn't let his guard down.
What conditions, what negotiation.
Everything stemmed from his own strength.
If Quan Yi's strength hadn't reached Dugu Bo's level, none of this would be happening.
Quan Yi had always remembered the pressure Dugu Bo had brought him.
Therefore, since then, he had paid more and more attention to improving his strength.
Now, with the help of the spring water, Quan Yi's strength would increase at an even more terrifying rate.
After Dugu Bo swore, he lowered his hand.
He said to Quan Yi, "Alright, now can you tell me about your plan?"
After confirming that there were no problems with Dugu Bo's oath, Quan Yi replied, "My plan is very simple.
After my research on the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, I discovered that this Martial Soul may have some talent in using poison, but it doesn't have the ability to store toxins like other poison-type Martial Souls.
Because of this, senior is being eroded by his own toxins.
In response to this situation, my suggestion is also very simple: senior can store all the toxins of his Martial Soul in a Soul Bone."
"You're saying, use the Soul Bone as an organ to store venom?"
This plan was beyond Dugu Bo's expectations. Dugu Bo's mind raced as he considered the feasibility of this plan.
After thinking for a moment, hope shone in Dugu Bo's eyes.
He found that this plan was indeed very feasible.
Although his body had long been integrated with the poison, completely stripping the toxins would risk backlash.
However, his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was still young, and her toxins weren't strong.
There was a greater chance of stripping the toxins.
"Soul Bone, Soul Bone, how could I not have thought of such a method?"
He cried out in frustration.
If he had discovered it earlier, he could have prepared a Soul Bone before Dugu Yan obtained her Soul Ring.
However, he quickly looked at Quan Yi strangely and said, "You've been researching the Jade Phosphorous Serpent so seriously, could it be to deal with me?"
Dugu Bo knew that he had once coerced Quan Yi, and couldn't help but suspect Quan Yi's original intention for the research.
"Senior can try using my method to force the toxins into the Soul Bone.
A dignified Titled Douluo wouldn't be without a Soul Bone, right?"
Quan Yi directly changed the subject.
Dugu Bo didn't continue to pursue the matter.
Having found a direction, Dugu Bo couldn't wait to try it now, but when he thought of Quan Yi being here, it gave him a headache.
Before long, his backlash would occur, and with Quan Yi staying here, who knew what might happen.
"Boy, how long are you going to stay?"
Dugu Bo asked indifferently.
Quan Yi replied without any politeness, "Senior, from now on, we are co-managers of this place. When I leave is my freedom."
Dugu Bo was very unhappy, but considering that Quan Yi had provided him with useful information, he had nothing to say.
He snorted coldly, then turned and left, wanting to leave this place.
However, at this moment, Quan Yi stopped Dugu Bo, saying, "If senior is worried that I might launch a sneak attack, I can leave today."
Quan Yi's words were clearly aimed at Dugu Bo's condition that flared up in the middle of the night.
Dugu Bo stopped again after taking only a few steps.
He turned around and glared, "You've been monitoring me?"
Dugu Bo didn't believe that Quan Yi could be so sure about his secret flare-up based solely on their encounter four years ago.
Only by observing his condition afterward could he be so certain.
But how was that possible? Quan Yi's elementalization was magical, but not without flaws.
Once away from the special environment of the Medicine Garden, Dugu Bo couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
Seeing the incredulous expression on Dugu Bo's face, Quan Yi turned his head towards his shoulder, shrugged, and said, "It told me."
The Nine-Section Emerald was coiled on his shoulder.
Dugu Bo glanced at the 'traitorous' Nine-Section Emerald and asked, "It can't speak, so how did it tell you?"
Quan Yi smiled faintly and said, "This is my special method. I can communicate with it through Spiritual Communication."
Earlier, when commanding the Nine-Section Emerald, it told Quan Yi that it was usually forbidden from approaching Dugu Bo at this time.
It was this information that made Quan Yi realize that Dugu Bo had not yet solved his poisoning problem. It was also it that made Quan Yi change his original strategy to negotiating with Dugu Bo.
The Nine-Section Emerald, in a sense, eased the direct conflict between Quan Yi and Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo glanced at the Nine-Section Emerald, cursing it in his heart: "Traitor, beast."
Afterward, he said to Quan Yi, "Since you already know, then I won't hide it. My body will suffer from the backlash of the poison in the middle of the night.
However, this won't affect my fighting ability. Moreover, your threat to me will be greatly reduced if you leave here.
I advise you not to think about anything dangerous."
Dugu Bo sternly warned Quan Yi.
Dugu Bo did not doubt what Quan Yi said about Spiritual Communication.
There were countless Soul Skills in Douluo Continent, and it was not surprising that some could communicate with beasts.
In his estimation, this should be a special skill brought about by a mental-type Head Soul Bone.
Quan Yi's terrifying strength could not be explained without a Soul Bone.
Therefore, Dugu Bo deduced that the Nine-Section Emerald's betrayal was caused by Quan Yi's Head Soul Bone skill.
Although Dugu Bo warned him sternly, it had no deterrent effect on Quan Yi, who said nonchalantly, "Okay, okay. I still need to cultivate, so I won't see you out."
"I really don't know if your ability to irritate people is innate or cultivated through Soul Skills? Forget it, I'm leaving. Remember not to mess up the Medicine Garden."
Dugu Bo, who had lived in seclusion for many years, was somewhat unable to cope with Quan Yi's words and could only leave in anger.
Once Dugu Bo had completely left, Quan Yi finally relaxed completely.
Although there was no physical conflict throughout the entire process, he felt mentally exhausted at this moment.
Psychological calculation was not Quan Yi's forte.
However, when faced with problems that could not be solved by force, communication was a necessary means. To achieve his goals, he pushed himself.
Quan Yi reached out and placed the Nine-Section Emerald in the palm of his hand, and from the Blazing Sun Heart, he took out a piece of Jerky and placed it in front of the Nine-Section Emerald.
"Eat it. This is Jerky from a 90,000-year-old Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon. It's your reward."
The more Quan Yi looked at the Nine-Section Emerald, the more adorable he found it.
Today, it had helped him a lot and deserved a good reward.
The Nine-Section Emerald flicked its tongue and licked the Jerky. The next moment, the Nine-Section Emerald, like a kitten that had smelled something fishy, quickly bit the Jerky and swallowed the Jerky, which was about the same size as it, in one gulp.
