Chapter 87: Solutions and Success Rate
"This medicinal formula is incredible." Dugu Bo's voice carried unconcealed excitement. "I never thought these herbs could be combined this way. It perfectly achieves the effect of clearing toxins."
Seeing how pleased he was, Yu Tianlin still reminded him, "Senior, you should study that prescription very carefully. Someone else gave it to me, so there might be hidden tricks in it."
When Yang Wudi had handed over the 7 bottles of medicine and the formula, the relationship between them had still been cordial. There had been no conflict at the time, so there shouldn't be a problem.
But since Yu Tianlin later fell out with Yang Wudi, it was only natural for him to be cautious now.
"There might be a problem, huh?" Dugu Bo frowned slightly. He lowered his head and began calculating as he read through the listed medicinal ingredients. "Let me see. Five qian of Lobelia chinensis, seven qian of Euphorbia humifusa, four qian of Aquilaria sinensis…"
"Mm. No problem." After repeatedly going over it, Dugu Bo finally spoke with certainty. "There really is no issue. Not only is there no problem, this prescription is actually excellent. A medicine refined using this formula truly has a detoxifying effect, and it is precisely targeted at the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Snake."
Yu Tianlin nodded. It seemed the formula was indeed sound.
After all, just creating a correct prescription with a clear purpose was already difficult enough. If someone wanted to secretly tamper with it while still keeping the whole thing logically consistent and free of obvious flaws, that would be even harder. Yang Wudi had only worked on it for 2 months, during which he also had to refine the medicine. He probably had not had the time or energy to embed any hidden schemes.
"Little brat, I really have to thank you this time." After carefully putting away the formula, Dugu Bo patted Yu Tianlin's shoulder and sighed with emotion. "With this prescription, plus the Spirit Bone poison storage method you suggested, the poison in Yanyan's body can be completely resolved."
Ever since Dugu Bo had admitted that he and his granddaughter were poisoned, Dugu Yan had fallen silent, as if she were still digesting everything. Now, after hearing her grandfather's words, she finally spoke.
"If the poison in my body can be cured… then what about yours, Grandpa?"
"The poison in my body?" Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Yanyan, now that we have the formula, of course it can cleanse my poison as well."
"Grandpa, don't try to fool me anymore."
His words were useless this time. Dugu Yan's eyes reddened as she said quietly, "I heard everything you and Tianlin said just now."
"The poison in our bodies comes from our Martial Soul. The longer we cultivate and the higher our cultivation, the more severe the poisoning becomes. My cultivation is still low, so the poison in my body isn't that serious. It's relatively easy to treat."
"But you're different, Grandpa. You're already 76 years old, and you've even reached the Title Douluo level. Doesn't that mean the poison in your body is…"
Before she could finish, Dugu Yan finally choked up and began to sob.
"Sigh."
Dugu Bo let out a long sigh, raised his hand, and gently rubbed her head. "As long as you're fine, Yanyan, Grandpa can be at ease."
"And Grandpa isn't lying to you. This medicine really works on me. It's just that its effectiveness on me isn't as good as it is for you."
Yu Tianlin added, "Sister Yan, when you use this medicine to expel the toxins, your success rate should be above 70%. If a senior guards and guides you during the process, the success rate will be even higher. It will almost never fail."
"As for Senior Poison Douluo, his success rate should be around 30%."
"Only 30%?"
Hearing Yu Tianlin give a concrete number for her grandfather, Dugu Yan tensed up immediately.
"Enough, Yanyan."
Dugu Bo wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and said calmly, "That kid Tianlin is just giving a very conservative estimate with that 30%. I am Poison Douluo. No one understands the poison in my body better than I do. With the help of this medicine, I will definitely succeed."
"Senior Poison Douluo," Yu Tianlin said, "actually, I still have another method that can greatly increase your success rate. But we need to help Sister Yan first before we can use it on you."
"You still have another method?"
Dugu Bo was genuinely surprised. It was already incredible that someone so young could help solve a problem that had plagued him for so many years. He had not expected there to be an additional solution on top of that.
Yu Tianlin did not explain immediately. He only said, "We need to detoxify Sister Yan first. Only then can we use this method on you, Senior, because it requires her cooperation. I will explain the details later."
Since the method to cure his granddaughter's poison was already in front of him, and the knot in his heart that had tormented him for years could finally be loosened, Dugu Bo did not hesitate.
"You two wait here for a while. I will go get a Spirit Bone."
Uh… if you're going to get a Spirit Bone, why are you telling us to just sit and wait? Are you that confident you can get one quickly?
Yu Tianlin could not help grumbling internally.
Come on, Spirit Bones are not cabbages on a roadside stall. You don't just pick one up because you feel like it.
Wait, that wasn't entirely right either. If Dugu Bo went to the Heaven Dou royal family to ask for one, they would very likely hand one over in order to win him over. Of course, that would also mean he would be completely tied to the Heaven Dou Empire from then on.
But Dugu Bo was, in essence, already standing on the Heaven Dou Empire's side. If he was further bound to them, that was his own business. Yu Tianlin did not need to worry about him.
After Dugu Bo hurried out, the room quieted down. After a while, Dugu Yan suddenly walked up to Yu Tianlin, bowed deeply, and said, "Tianlin, thank you so much."
"Sister Yan, you're being too polite." Yu Tianlin quickly helped her up. "This is what I should do. We are such good friends. Once I discovered your problem, of course I had to think of a way to help you solve it."
He meant every word. Even without the immortal herb, just because of her relationship with his elder brother, Yu Tianlin would still have found a way to help Dugu Yan get rid of the toxins.
Dugu Yan looked at him anxiously. "Tianlin, tell me honestly. What is Grandpa's real success rate if he uses your method to clear the poison?"
"Don't worry, Sister Yanzi," Yu Tianlin comforted her. "Senior Poison Douluo did not lie to you. The 30% I mentioned earlier was a very conservative estimate. With his deep cultivation and his understanding of his own poison, the actual success rate will definitely be higher than that."
"Moreover, after your poison is cured, I will let you eat something that will make you immune to all poisons. At that time, your blood will also gain a similar effect. With your blood as a guiding medium, Senior Poison Douluo's success rate can be greatly increased."
"Something that makes me immune to all poisons…"
Although she still did not know exactly what Yu Tianlin was planning, seeing the firm confidence on his face, Dugu Yan finally let out a long breath.
"As long as Grandpa can be cured," she said softly, "that is all that matters."
