Chapter 20 - Dugu Bo's Decision

Dugu Bo looked at the pill that Chu Bai held in his hand, his face puzzled. "What is this? Trying to bribe this old man with a pill? I, Dugu Bo, would rather starve to death, die outside, and jump off a cliff before I'd accept anything from you!"

Chu Bai was stunned.

This line… I feel like I've heard it before…

"I call this pill the Universal Antidote Pill. As a Title Douluo, you should know that although your poison skills are formidable, the toxins accumulated in your body have already begun to affect you. It causes you immense suffering. If this continues, the Poison Douluo will become the Poison Douluo poisoned by his own poison."

Chu Bai spoke slowly.

Although Dugu Bo's expression didn't change much, he was greatly shocked inside.

How did Chu Bai know about my condition?

"Hmph, even if what you say is true, this old man doesn't need any help from your Martial Soul Hall."

"Moreover…"

Dugu Bo glanced at the pill in Chu Bai's hand. "How would I know if this thing of yours is legitimate?"

"After taking this pill, it can help you perfectly control the poison within you, and it won't affect your current strength."

Chu Bai smiled. "Of course, you can also choose not to accept it. Then I'll assume you, the Poison Douluo, have lived long enough. In that case, you'll get nothing and lose this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"Most importantly, your granddaughter will one day die from her own poison."

"What did you say?!" A powerful aura instantly surged from Dugu Bo's body. He grabbed Chu Bai, his voice icy. "If you Martial Soul Hall dare to lay a hand on my granddaughter, just wait for my revenge!"

"Dugu Bo, you dare!"

Gui Mei and Yue Guan became alert. Chu Bai was now held in Dugu Bo's grasp.

"The poison of your family is hereditary. You old geezer, you've lived long enough, but she's still young. Do you dare to take this risk?"

Chu Bai wasn't nervous at all.

He knew that Dugu Bo wouldn't kill him. If he died, Dugu Bo would be doomed as well.

His granddaughter's life would also be forfeit.

Dugu Bo immediately released Chu Bai and said coldly, "How can I believe that this pill can really help me?"

"Hehe, that's simple enough."

Chu Bai smiled slightly and handed the pill to Dugu Bo. "Take it. If you trust me, the Saint Son of the Martial Soul Hall."

"Dugu Bo, if we wanted to kill you, why would we go to all this trouble? We would have done it long ago. It's just that I want to reorganize the Douluo Continent in the future, and I need trustworthy helpers."

"If this pill can help you control the poison in your body, then join the Martial Soul Hall. Of course, I don't need you to obey the Martial Soul Hall's orders."

Dugu Bo looked at Chu Bai. "So, you want me to take orders from you?"

"My position is different from the Martial Soul Hall."

Chu Bai continued, "I don't have much patience. This is your last chance. If you take this pill, your Soul Power will also change, and then you'll be able to help your Granddaughter."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the pill and then go back on my word?"

Dugu Bo countered.

"You won't do that. Even if you don't care, your Granddaughter's life is precious."

Dugu Bo fell silent upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Chu Bai didn't bother him any further. Instead, he slowly walked to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and smiled as he looked at the many immortal herbs growing around it.

"Tang San, I'd like to see how far your companions can go without these immortal herbs."

A moment later, Dugu Bo seemed to have made up his mind and agreed, "Alright! If this pill can truly help me eliminate the effects of the poison, I will join Martial Soul Hall!"

"But, Martial Soul Hall cannot bind me. That is my final bottom line!"

Chu Bai nodded, "As you wish!"

Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment before taking the pill, then began to sit cross-legged on the spot, circulating his Soul Power.

"The Saint Son truly has skills, even Dugu Bo, that old poison, can be persuaded to join Martial Soul Hall." Yue Guan stepped forward and praised.

"It's just a matter of mutual benefit. Dugu Bo may not care about his own life, but he cares very much about the life of his Granddaughter."

Chu Bai said to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, "I need to consume some of the immortal herbs here. I will trouble the two elders to protect me."

"Yes," the two of them nodded.

Chu Bai leaped and landed within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Feeling the extreme cold and scorching heat wash over him, Chu Bai summoned his Pangu Axe. A chaotic aura emanated from it, enveloping his body.

"The chaotic aura that comes with the Pangu Axe can actually perfectly block the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. In other words, this environment has no effect on me at all."

Chu Bai turned around for a while, only feeling a bit of a headache.

"There are many immortal herbs, but I don't know which one is suitable for me."

"System?"

Chu Bai tentatively asked, although he didn't hold much hope. After all, this system only wrote diaries and had no other user-friendly functions…

[Nine Heavens Thunder Lotus, Eight Desolations Soothing Heart Grass, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Host can absorb!]

Chu Bai was immediately overjoyed.

He really hadn't expected the system to pick out the immortal herbs that were currently suitable for him. He wasn't very familiar with the first two, but the last three were all herbs he knew quite well.

Infernal Delicate Apricot, hehe, if I eat it, let's see how Tang San's Blue Silver Grass will deal with fire immunity. And the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, without it, Ma Hongjun will be killed by his own evil fire sooner or later.

Chu Bai had the protection of Chaos Qi, so he easily picked the immortal herbs that the system had selected. Then, in the shocked gazes of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, he ate them one after another, as if he were eating cabbage…

Chu Bai didn't consume them all at once. Instead, he would wait until he had absorbed the energy of one before eating the next.

Eating five immortal herbs at once, I'll probably break through to the Soul King rank directly, right?

Chu Bai was somewhat amazed; his strength was improving too quickly. He didn't know if this was a good thing or not.

"If I can suppress it, I'll try to suppress it," Chu Bai said in a low voice.

...

A day later.

Feeling the surging Soul Power within him, Chu Bai nodded. "It wouldn't have been a problem to break through to Soul King, but I suppressed it to level forty-nine. I spent too little time in the Soul Ancestor stage, and my cultivation would be unstable."

"Furthermore, it seems that with the aid of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the Pangu Axe has actually acquired a fiery aura."

Chu Bai grabbed the Pangu Axe, and the surrounding chaotic energy now faintly showed a fiery aura, its power having become even more potent than before.
