Chapter 66: Dugu Bo's Hesitation Chapter 66 Dugu Bo's Hesitation
Possessing such a unique martial soul is arguably the nemesis of all poison-wielding soul masters.
However, even without poison, someone like Dugu Bo, a peak level 89 Soul Douluo, is far superior to ordinary people.
Twin martial souls are extremely special. Given this special martial soul, Dugu Bo had a plan. If his martial soul could cure his most potent poison, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison, then it might also be able to cure his own poison.
"Since it's the effect of your martial soul, then try this last poison of mine. The second one is unnecessary. If you can cure the last one, perhaps you can help me cure my poison. I'll give you one more minute to consider. This last poison is beyond my control."
Dugu Bo looked at Feng Xiaotian with a serious expression. At this moment, he was somewhat reluctant to kill Feng Xiaotian and had the idea of taking him as a disciple.
"Senior, please try," Feng Xiaotian said. Thanks to the power reflected by his martial soul, his physical condition had now recovered to its best.
Moreover, his physical strength had also improved. Three years of consuming the Nine Branches of Mystic Wind Grass hadn't fully unleashed its effects, but now he had. His soul power had also reached the peak of level thirty-six, and he believed he would soon reach level thirty-seven.
"Since you've thought it through, then don't blame me."
Feng Xiaotian looked at Dugu Bo's hand. He knew that what was about to be used was his natal poison, the venom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, an extremely potent toxin.
But Feng Xiaotian had immense confidence in the Devouring Wolf. He couldn't guarantee anything in other areas, but when it came to devouring, he knew better than anyone, after all, he had designed this ability.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaotian patted the Devouring Wolf's head and said, "The rest is up to you."
The Devouring Wolf understood Feng Xiaotian's words and nodded, seemingly indicating that it was no problem. Feng Xiaotian patted the Devouring Wolf's head, then walked to Dugu Bo and raised his right arm.
"Come on."
Dugu Bo frowned and said, "Are you really sure?"
"Senior, I believe in my martial soul." Feng Xiaotian finished speaking and glanced at the Devouring Wolf again.
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed coldly. Since you want to die, then I won't be polite. I've cultivated my deadly poison for so many years, and it's even countered by your martial soul without a spirit ring.
Dugu Bo flicked his finger, and his fingertip pierced into Feng Xiaotian's arm.
Almost instantly, a black aura spread rapidly along the pierced area.
"Devouring Wolf, devour the poison." Feng Xiaotian immediately said.
He sat down cross-legged, and the Devouring Wolf immediately came to Feng Xiaotian's side. It gently licked Feng Xiaotian's wound a few times with its tongue, and the black poison that had entered his body was quickly transformed and sucked out by the Devouring Wolf.
The speed was unimaginable. Feng Xiaotian didn't even feel any abnormality in his body before the poison was sucked out by the Devouring Wolf, forming a small emerald green bead in the air.
Then the Devouring Wolf swallowed the small bead in one gulp.
*Burp*, the Devouring Wolf even let out a loud burp after swallowing it.
Dugu Bo knew his poison all too well, yet it was absorbed by Feng Xiaotian's martial spirit just like that. Did the Devouring Wolf intend to devour this entire world?
If it could absorb poison like this, wouldn't the poison in his own body be completely absorbed by his martial spirit?
"Boy, are you trying to harm me? Won't this destroy my poison technique? Even if you cure the poison, your method of absorbing it seems to only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Am I supposed to use my martial spirit to absorb the toxins every now and then?" Dugu Bo stared at Feng Xiaotian with cold eyes, almost ready to attack at any moment.
"Senior, don't be hasty. I haven't finished speaking yet. Since I dare say I can cure your poison, I have a way to preserve your poison technique and ensure you won't be bothered by this poison again in the future," Feng Xiaotian replied earnestly.
"What? Is there such a perfect solution? Tell me quickly, how can this be done? If you can solve the problems for me, my granddaughter, and future descendants with the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, I can not only spare your life, but also promise to do three things that don't violate my principles and bottom line, or I can take you as my disciple. You can choose between these two."
If it were a matter of using medicine to prepare an antidote, Dugu Bo certainly wouldn't believe that such a young child could have such an ability. But possessing such a peculiar Martial Soul, he had just witnessed it; it could easily neutralize even his own natal Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison, so there was a way to deal with his own.
"I know that Senior Dugu Bo values promises most in his life. It is my honor to be able to detoxify you, and I ask for nothing in return," Feng Xiaotian said sincerely.
Now that his life was in Dugu Bo's hands, it was better to be cautious. He didn't have Tang San's background, which would make Dugu Bo hesitate.
Dugu Bo didn't expect Feng Xiaotian to say such a thing, but he didn't completely trust Feng Xiaotian either.
"My promises are as good as gold, and I always keep my word. Since I've made a promise to you, then accept it. I dislike owing favors to others."
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian knew that he was almost convinced by Dugu Bo.
In fact, he didn't need to completely adopt Tang San's method.
Tang San had completely deceived Dugu Bo, ultimately using his own blood after consuming the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, mixed with some blood-activating and muscle-relaxing medicine, to help Dugu Bo detoxify.
He couldn't do that right now, nor did he need to. Feng Xiaotian only needed to borrow one aspect: utilizing the Soul Bone.
Dugu Bo also had doubts. Could a mere young boy with a special martial soul really solve a poison that had plagued him for over sixty years?
"Boy, tell me quickly, what method will you use to help me eliminate my worries?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.
"Detoxification is actually quite simple. I believe you, senior, also possess a soul bone. All you need to do is force the toxins onto your soul bone, using it as a storage place for the toxins, and that will solve your problem."
"In the future, any toxins generated from cultivating poisonous techniques can be directly stored in your soul bone. As for the poison in your granddaughter, Dugu Yan's, she's still young, and there aren't many toxins in her body. Finding a soul bone will suffice. All I can do is help her clear the current toxins. After that, do you need my help? Finding a soul bone should be a piece of cake for you, senior," Feng Xiaotian explained.
Soul bones can be used like this? Somewhat skeptical? Dugu Bo also felt that Feng Xiaotian's words made some sense.
"But I've cultivated for so many years, my body has long since become one with the toxins. It's not easy to force these toxins out," Dugu Bo said.
"Senior, don't worry about that. It can completely handle it, assisting you in forcing the toxins out and storing them in your soul bone," Feng Xiaotian said, pointing to the Devouring Wolf beside him.
The Devouring Wolf nodded and let out a howl.
Dugu Bo hesitated, after all, he had originally intended to kill this kid.
If he attacked him while the boy was being detoxified, it would be a greater loss than gain; he had to consider the situation carefully.

1.8times+Chapter 67. Persuasion, Three Winds Chapter 67 Persuasion,
Feng Xiaotian saw that Dugu Bo hesitated, knowing that Dugu Bo wasn't one to easily trust anyone.
Moreover, this involved his safety, making him even more hesitant.
"Do you know that the entire Heavenly Dou Empire is currently searching for you? Did you actually kill the two princes?" Dugu Bo asked!
He had also agreed to serve as the Heavenly Dou Empire's Royal Guest of Honor for Prince Xuexing!
He had also been entrusted by Prince Xuexing to arrest someone, but he hadn't expected to catch the same boy he'd met three years ago! Last time, he had almost killed him. Actually, he had initially only wanted to scare Feng Xiaotian, intending to leave him half-dead and hand him over to Prince Xuexing, but the boy's words had piqued his curiosity!
"Can I say that this matter has nothing to do with me? Senior, may I ask when the Third Prince died?" Feng Xiaotian asked!
"Yesterday morning," Dugu Bo replied!
"That explains it all. That morning I was over 300 kilometers away at the Blazing Fire Academy, and I only arrived in Heavenly Dou City in the evening. Could you possibly have arrived in Heavenly Dou City in such a short time and still managed to kill the Third Prince silently?" Feng Xiao explained.
"How can you prove it?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Just send someone to the Blazing Fire Academy, and they'll know! If I can help you remove the toxins from your body, I'd also like you to help me prove my innocence!" Feng Xiao said. He knew that only with mutual benefit would a transaction occur, and Dugu Bo would only feel at ease if there was an urgent need.
Seeing that Dugu Bo didn't speak, Feng Xiao continued, "If there are any problems during the toxin removal process, you can take my life directly. I believe you can definitely do that, and besides, I wouldn't risk my own life!"
A person who values their life and has a need for it wouldn't risk it!
"Alright, you've convinced me. There aren't many juniors I admire, and you're one of them. Everything will be done as you say. As long as you heal me and my granddaughter, everything I promised earlier will be honored," Dugu Bo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo opened his mouth, and a beam of green light shot out—a jade-green bead. Under Dugu Bo's control, the bead slowly moved towards Feng Xiaotian.
"What is this?" Feng Xiaotian caught the bead, and although he already knew it was Dugu Bo's elixir bead, he still asked Dugu Bo.
"Eat it, and then I can safely release you to detoxify me,"
Feng Xiaotian said with a wry smile. "The stuff you spat out, you actually want me to eat? It seems a bit disgusting, doesn't it?"
Dugu Bo gave Feng a cold look. "I told you to eat it, so eat it. If anything happens to me, it will explode inside your body. Don't even mention you, even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand an explosion from within."
Feng Xiaotian knew this was Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's pill, but Dugu Bo hadn't told him. Being under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to eat it.
He threw the pill directly into his mouth and swallowed it. Instantly, he felt a warm current flow down his throat, a warm sensation throughout his body. Not only did he feel no discomfort, but the warmth spreading through his limbs and bones felt quite comfortable.
Feng Xiaotian even considered using the Devouring Wolf's devouring ability to absorb Dugu Bo's pill, after all, it represented half of his power.
However, he dared not move. Devouring was powerful, but he couldn't absorb so much energy at once, nor could he do it instantly. If he couldn't do it instantly, he certainly wouldn't survive if Dugu Bo detonated the pill.
Even if he successfully devours it, Feng Xiaotian's current strength is no match for Dugu Bo, and he will surely die.
After seeing Feng Xiaotian swallow the pill, he said calmly, "You've noticed, haven't you? As long as you don't play any tricks, this bead will only benefit you and not harm you. It will promote the condensation of your soul power. After you heal me, you can guide it out."
"Before the treatment, I also have some conditions," Feng Xiaotian said. He hadn't explored the area around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well yet, and the Immortal Item Manual contained six other Immortal Items, which he might find here.
Dugu Bo frowned slightly, a hint of anger in his eyes, and said, "Boy, in all these years, you're the first person to dare to make such a demand of me. Speak, what are your conditions?"
Feng Xiaotian looked around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and said, "I only have one condition, which is that I wish to cultivate here for a period of time. Senior, you saw it before; my Martial Soul is very suitable for this place."
"Moreover, Senior's poisoning has accumulated over a long period. If it were removed all at once, it might affect Senior's cultivation. It can only be done in stages, depending on the severity of Senior's poisoning. During this period, Senior only needs to come here every morning."
Dugu Bo nodded after hearing this. Feng Xiaotian's detoxification method mainly relied on that unique Martial Soul. "Boy, this is my herb garden. Many of the herbs here are poisonous. Even those that are essentially tonics are poisonous to you here. But forget it, you're not afraid of poison anyway. I'm just warning you not to damage my garden; you know the consequences. If you recognize any herbs you need, you can collect some." "
When do we start?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Two more days. My martial soul has undergone a mutation, and I need to familiarize myself with it," Feng Xiaotian replied.
He wanted to absorb the power that was drawing in the poison, using the information transmitted from the Devouring Wolf.
Feng Xiaotian knew he needed to practice several times to achieve this. He had to be absolutely certain, and he couldn't give too much time, or Dugu Bo would become suspicious. That's why he said two days.
"Alright, I'll come back to you in two days. Don't even think about running away. I'll also investigate this matter in the next two days. If you're lying, I don't need you anymore." Dugu Bo finished speaking and gave Feng Xiaotian a cold look before taking to the air and heading up the mountain. He disappeared in a few breaths.
As soon as Dugu Bo left, Feng Xiaotian seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily. His back was soaked with sweat.
To be honest, he had really gambled. If he had lost, he might have truly become a corpse. Fortunately, he had won.
As long as the treatment went smoothly, as Dugu Bo had promised, he should be fine. However, he couldn't place all his hopes on Dugu Bo; he had to find other ways to control his own destiny.
Then, Feng Xiaotian looked at the Devouring Wolf again and said, "So you were Little White, the Devouring Wolf, and now you've turned yellow. Should I call you Ah Huang? Or Wangcai?" "
But you are my martial soul. Aren't these two names referring to myself? You are the third wolf head, and my surname is Feng, so let's call you Sanfeng. Grandmaster has Sanpao and Tang San, and I have Sanfeng. Famous masters also have this name. How about it? Cool, right?"
Hearing the new name, he seemed very happy, wagging his tail incessantly, readily accepting the name.
The three winds now possess a certain level of intelligence, though not very high; their tail-wagging manner resembles that of a large yellow wolfhound.
After resting for a while, Feng Xiaotian got up again. He hadn't even properly explored the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Looking around at the various herbs in different forms, he sighed inwardly.
Dugu Bokong was guarding a treasure trove, yet he didn't know how to utilize it.
If he knew its uses, the toxins in his body would be nothing; he might already be a Title Douluo.

1.8times+Chapter 68. Five-Colored Carnations, Three Winds Asleep Chapter 68. The Five-Colored Carnation, the Three-Wind Sleeping
Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and the Blazing Apricot Blossom were easy to find; he had already confirmed that these two immortal herbs existed in isolation.
Other immortal herbs might be identifiable by their names. For example, the Strange Turtle Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum resembled a chrysanthemum, and the Qiluo Tulip could be compared to the tulips of his previous life. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower could be guessed from its name.
However, Feng Xiaotian didn't know the methods for harvesting these immortal herbs, which was the most crucial point.
He remembered the original novel mentioning that some required gold to extract jade, while others required silver to extract iron. Even a slight mistake could greatly reduce the medicinal effect, or even cause immediate withering. Therefore, Feng Xiaotian couldn't harvest them now; doing so would be tantamount to destruction.
He still wanted to make good use of the immortal herbs here in the future. Once he cured Dugu Bo's poison, Tang San would be out of the picture. He
still had more than ten years; if he found the ruins in the Star Dou Great Forest, he might be able to find the methods for using these herbs. Therefore, he wouldn't rashly damage this place now.
However, there was at least one soul beast there that was over 90,000 years old, perhaps even over 100,000 years old. Without sufficient strength, going there would be tantamount to suicide.
Currently, he only possessed the complete usage and harvesting methods for the six immortal herbs listed in the Immortal Herb Manual, hoping to find a few useful ones.
He was now in a similar situation to Dugu Bo, trapped in a treasure trove he couldn't utilize.
The valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was located wasn't very large, but it was densely packed with medicinal herbs, some of which Feng Xiaotian recognized.
In his search for immortal herbs, he had read many books on medicinal herbs, though many were only superficially reviewed, he had still memorized some.
Feng Xiaotian wouldn't be polite with what he knew; he had already prepared several jade boxes in his treasure bag, selecting the best ones to put inside.
After wandering around for a long time, Feng Xiaotian also saw the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which resembled ordinary chrysanthemums, as well as the Qiluo Tulip and the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Sunflower.
These could only be admired for now.
As he walked, a smile finally appeared on Feng Xiaotian's face, because he saw an immortal herb from the Immortal Herb Manual.
Beside a secluded boulder, there stood a five-colored carnation, also known as the bearded carnation.
This was a medicinal herb recorded in the Immortal Herb Manual. The carnation was about 60 centimeters tall, with lanceolate leaves, reddish-purple petals with white spots, and an ovoid-oblong capsule.
This immortal herb was cold-resistant but heat-sensitive, growing in extremely cold environments.
Consuming this herb had the effect of clearing blood stasis and promoting blood circulation, improving the body and enhancing the speed of a Soul Master's meditation and cultivation. However, it had a drawback: it could only be consumed by women; for men, it was not only ineffective but also harmful.
Looking at this herb, Feng Xiaotian already had a plan. He could give it to his mother, Qin Qiuyue. While her cultivation speed wasn't slow, it wasn't particularly fast either.
With a sixth-level innate soul power, she had reached the seventy-level Soul Saint realm at the age of forty-nine. If she consumed this herb, reaching the eighty-level realm wouldn't be long.
Feng Xiaotian took out a cloth bag from his treasure pouch. These five-colored carnations needed to be picked by hand and placed in a cloth bag; they absolutely could not be stored in jade, iron, or wooden boxes. If they were, this celestial treasure would turn into an ordinary one within an hour.
He carefully picked the five-colored carnation, placed it in the cloth bag, and after confirming it was safe, put it into his treasure pouch.
The harvest was quite good; he continued searching.
Just then, Sanfeng let out a soft whimper.
Feng Xiaotian looked over and saw Sanfeng staring at an unknown herb, a purple plant about twenty centimeters tall. It seemed to be telling Feng Xiaotian it wanted to eat it.
"If you think it's okay, then eat it," Feng Xiaotian said. This was the Devouring Demon Wolf he had designed, capable of swallowing anything; he believed it had the ability.
With Feng Xiaotian's permission, Sanfeng immediately swallowed the herb in one gulp.
Feng Xiaotian observed Sanfeng's changes closely. After eating, its yellow fur shone brightly, then it yawned, rubbed its eyes with its yellow paws, and slowly lay down to sleep.
"Sanfeng, don't fall asleep! We still need to detoxify Dugu Bo. What will I do if you fall asleep?" Feng Xiaotian called out several times, but to no avail.
Instead, Sanfeng's snoring grew louder. Helpless, Feng Xiaotian could only take Sanfeng back, not knowing when it would wake up.
There are still two days left. Hopefully, Sanfeng can wake up in time.
Continue searching; if you find one immortal item, you might find another.
But immortal items are rare and hard to come by. Over the next few hours, Feng Xiaotian meticulously searched every inch of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well area, but he couldn't find any of the immortal items listed in the Immortal Item Mystery Record.
He could only return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, looking at the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom on either side. How to pick and consume these was mentioned in the Douluo Continent storyline.
He also really wanted the Ice and Fire Body Refinement technique. Now that he had absorbed all the medicinal effects of the Nine-Branched Profound Wind Grass, his physical strength, according to his estimation, meant that the maximum absorption of his fourth soul ring was only eight or nine thousand years, definitely not exceeding ten thousand years.
Moreover, a ten-thousand-year soul ring would cause soul shock during absorption, and generally only level fifty people could withstand this soul shock impact.
Resisting soul shock actually relies on mental strength. Tang San used the Purple Demon Eye to eliminate the danger of soul shock, but he himself did not have this ability, nor did he have a cultivation method for mental strength; he could only endure it.
Because of the separation of the three winds during their evolution, his body had also changed. He couldn't explain it clearly, but after being transformed by that special and warm energy, he was no longer afraid of the two extreme spiritual energies of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Should he consume these two immortal herbs now? Feng Xiaotian was undecided. He currently possessed Dugu Bo's pills; would consuming them reveal Dugu Bo's presence?
After much thought, Feng Xiaotian finally abandoned the idea. He could gamble when all else failed, but it wasn't the most desperate time yet; caution was paramount. Soon
, a day passed, and the three winds still hadn't awakened, remaining in a deep sleep.
Feng Xiaotian could only continue exploring the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and adapting to his current Gale Twin-Headed Wolf Martial Soul.
He searched every place he could reach in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, practically digging three feet into the ground, but still found nothing new.
The Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, having absorbed that special energy after the separation, seemed to have evolved. Previously, it was said to be comparable to a top-tier Martial Soul; now, it was undoubtedly a top-tier Martial Soul.
The most regrettable thing is that his second soul skill, due to the loss of the Three Winds, also lost one wolf head in the Heavenly Wolf Possession, and at the same time, it lost the 5% soul power absorption effect.

1.8times+Chapter 69: Dugu Bo's Change Chapter 69 Dugu Bo's Change
As the saying goes, every gain has its loss, and Feng Xiaotian gained more than he lost.
He was just worried about whether Sanfeng would wake up on the last day, having promised to detoxify Dugu Bo in two days.
A day passed, and Feng Xiaotian still hadn't adapted to Sanfeng's abilities. If things remained the same after another day, he might face the wrath of a peak Soul Douluo.
Even if he used his thirty-second stealth skill to escape, he wouldn't be able to, since Dugu Bo's elixir was still inside his body, and everything was under Dugu Bo's control.
How powerless a person is before they are fully developed.
Feng Xiaotian released Sanfeng, placing it not far from himself, so he would know immediately when it woke up.
He wondered what kind of herb Sanfeng had eaten; perhaps it was a celestial herb.
A soul beast consuming a celestial herb—this was probably unprecedented in the history of the Douluo Continent.
The wait was incredibly long. Feng Xiaotian entered a meditative state, his soul power having reached the peak of level thirty-six, just a little short of level thirty-seven.
Meanwhile, in Tianshui City
, in the courtyard of a magnificent mansion, a little girl gazed blankly at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
A six or seven-year-old girl looked so preoccupied.
A creaking sound came from the courtyard gate, and as it slowly opened, a woman in light blue clothes walked in.
Upon seeing this, the little girl quickly stood up and ran towards the woman.
"Sister, how is brother? Is there any news?" Shui Bing'er asked anxiously.
They had been back in Tianshui City for over a day, still without news of Feng Xiaotian, unsure whether he had been captured or escaped.
Shui Shuang'er shook her head and said, "There's still no news. I've already asked around, and at least they're still pursuing him, which means Xiaotian hasn't been caught yet."
"Sister, it's all my fault! Why did I go to Tiandou City? If I hadn't gone, none of this would have happened. I'm the one who harmed Brother Xiaotian!" Shui Bing'er said, tears streaming down her
face. She blamed herself entirely, because it was she who suggested taking Tiandou City.
Shui Shuang'er hugged Shui Bing'er, affectionately stroking her head, and said, "Bing'er, don't be sad. It's not your fault. We were just unlucky. Besides, Brother Xiaotian was wronged. I believe the truth will come out soon."
"Don't cry. If your Brother Xiaotian were here, he definitely wouldn't like you crying like this. He'd definitely prefer a happy and cheerful Bing'er, not a Bing'er who cries all the time. And you should work hard on your cultivation. When you see your Brother Xiaotian again, you can surprise him, okay?"
Shui Shuang'er was actually very worried about Feng Xiaotian, but she had been hiding her worries, especially in front of her younger sister, Shui Bing'er.
"Okay, I understand. I will cultivate diligently. Sister, please tell me the news every day. I want to know any news about Brother Xiaotian." Shui Bing'er wiped away her tears and said.
"Okay, sister promises you."
...
Hanhai City is at least ten days' journey from the Tiandou Empire.
Feng Qingyuan and his group have not yet arrived in Hanhai City, and they are unaware of what happened in Tiandou City.
"Qingyuan, I've felt uneasy these past two days, as if something has happened." Qin Qiuyue said. She had a strange feeling for the past two days, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Qiuyue, it's probably because you've been traveling for three consecutive days. You'll be fine after a rest." Feng Qingyuan said.
Qin Qiuyue nodded and glanced in the direction of Tiandou City, saying, "Perhaps."
...
At this moment, in Tiandou City, at the Xuexing Prince's residence.
"Mr. Dugu, you're saying that person isn't the one who poisoned the Third Prince at all?" Prince Xuexing asked, puzzled. He also knew from He Shaoyuan of the Crimson Water Poisonous Python that this person was Feng Xiaotian of the Divine Wind Academy, the grandson of Earl Hummingbird.
Today, he had originally intended to request permission to arrest Earl Hummingbird's family, and Earl Hummingbird supported the First Prince, Xue Qinghe. All the clues seemed to point to Xue Qinghe.
"I'm certain he didn't poison him. The investigation is complete. The Third Prince died that morning, and the culprit you believe is still at the Blazing Fire Academy. Many people witnessed this. You can also investigate this matter," Dugu Bo said calmly.
After talking with Feng Xiaotian, Dugu Bo went to Blazing Fire City as quickly as possible. Even as an 89th-level expert, it took him more than an hour to arrive at Blazing Fire City.
The investigation revealed that Feng Xiaotian was in Blazing Fire City during both the previous day and early the next morning, leaving him with no time or opportunity to assassinate the Heavenly Dou City Palace.
Dugu Bo's investigation of Feng Xiaotian was also an attempt to understand his character and nature, as he still didn't fully trust him.
However, this investigation left him quite satisfied with Feng Xiaotian; his diligence, talent, and hard work made him a valuable asset, and not taking him as a disciple would be a waste.
"Even if he's innocent, he killed Liu Rong. A level 52 Royal Guest Elder is lost just like that?" He Shaoyuan said indignantly.
"So what? Are you expecting Liu Rong to bring him to your place so you can kill him?" Dugu Bo's face darkened, his tone ruthless.
"Mr. Dugu and Mr. He, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If Feng Xiaotian is innocent, I will clear his name. But regarding the killing of the Royal Guest Elder, let's discuss that after my investigation," Prince Xuexing said, not wanting to offend either side.
His first priority was to determine if Feng Xiaotian was truly the murderer. If they had gone astray these past few days, the real culprit would have vanished without a trace.
At this moment, Prince Xuexing even suspected that the person who delivered the message that day—the Soul King from the Spirit Hall—might have deliberately misled them, allowing the real murderer to escape.
Dugu Bo left Prince Xuexing's residence, recalling an incident from a day earlier, which was why he had gone to investigate and speak up for Feng Xiaotian.
A day earlier, Dugu Bo had returned to Tiandou City and naturally wanted to see his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. Arriving at her door, he didn't knock but silently watched from the window.
Ten-year-old Dugu Yan was cultivating, already possessing level nineteen soul power, her cultivation speed incredibly fast. She had always been his pride.
Watching his granddaughter diligently cultivating, Dugu Bo didn't want to disturb her. Just as he turned to leave ,
"Ah..."
came his granddaughter's cry. Dugu Bo turned back anxiously to look at her; she must have just been affected by his poison.
Although he was a peak Soul Douluo at this moment, he was helpless in the face of his granddaughter's suffering, unless he never cultivated again.
However, his granddaughter was naturally strong-willed, especially now that she was living in someone else's residence. Having a reliable person to care for her would be much better than him, an old man.
Dugu Bo glanced at Dugu Yan again, then silently left.
This scene completely changed his mind.
He had already decided that if Feng Xiaotian could cure him and his granddaughter's poison, all previous grudges with his parents could be wiped clean. He was willing to agree to three things, or even thirty.

1.8times+Chapter 70: An Unexpected Gain from Detoxification Chapter 70 The Unexpected Gain of Detoxification
Dugu Bo did all this primarily for his granddaughter.
Their martial soul cultivation, using the poison of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, was more potent than their soul power in the early stages of cultivation.
Even with suppression, the pain of the poison's corrosive effects was unbearable, though not fatal.
Feng Xiaotian's appearance coincided with his critical moment, so Dugu Bo had already decided to be the pioneer. If he could cure his poison, his granddaughter's would be no problem.
Feng Xiaotian, currently cultivating, was unaware of his good fortune. He happened to encounter Dugu Bo at this crucial moment: Dugu Bo hadn't yet broken through to the Title Douluo level, and Dugu Yan desperately needed detoxification.
Furthermore, his martial soul's special ability gave him the opportunity to detoxify and survive.
Everyone's fate and circumstances are different. While both Feng Xiaotian and Tang San were detoxifying Dugu Bo, their experiences differed.
Feng Xiaotian's appearance prematurely rewrote Dugu Bo's fate. Who knows if Tang San, ten years later, without the aid of Dugu Bo's antidote, would be killed by him?
But that's not his concern; Feng Xiaotian certainly wouldn't consider it.
Feng Xiaotian, currently meditating and cultivating, had begun to gather and increase his soul power, attempting to break through to level thirty-seven.
In this extremely special environment, with the assistance of Dugu Bo's Dan Pearl, the final barrier to level thirty-seven was broken in an instant.
At the same time, Sanfeng began to emit a yellow light, but this yellow light was mixed with some faint purple halos.
After a long time,
the man and the wolf woke up simultaneously and stood up at the same time.
After standing up, Feng Xiaotian immediately sensed Sanfeng's awakening.
But the moment he looked at Sanfeng, the wolf before him changed again.
It had shrunk a little, and what should have been pure yellow now had some light purple fur floating on its yellow fur.
"Is this a hybrid breed?" Feng Xiaotian laughed.
The changes in martial spirit are too rapid. The biggest change seems to be a series of haircuts and style changes for Sanfeng. His white hair has been dyed yellow, and now purple is being added to it.
It's a good thing he didn't name Sanfeng "Ah Huang" (meaning "Yellow"). With such rapid color changes, who knows how many names he'll need in the future? Sanfeng is good; one name suffices.
"Sanfeng, come here. Let's practice together," Feng Xiaotian instructed. Sanfeng
obediently came to Feng Xiaotian's side and, under his guidance, began practicing.
His practice was to enable Sanfeng to accurately attract toxins.
Feng Xiaotian personally tried it, randomly finding a seemingly poisonous herb, eating a little, and then letting Sanfeng absorb it. The goal
was to train the toxins to attract them without being swallowed, and then guide them to a designated location—this was also the plan to help Dugu Bo detoxify.
"Sanfeng, this can't be absorbed."
"Sanfeng, the position is controlled wrong."
"Huh, I can actually control your absorption ability, this is good, let me do it."
"No, let's do it together, Sanfeng, you attract the toxins, I'll control its path, that's it, perfect."
Through repeated experiments, the toxins were continuously controlled by Feng Xiaotian and Sanfeng, and they found the perfect method.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, early in the morning, Feng Xiaotian awoke from his meditation.
He awaited Dugu Bo's arrival. After a day of preparation, he had fully mastered the devouring power of his Three Winds Martial Soul and the method to detoxify Dugu Bo.
"Here you are,"
Feng Xiaotian said, standing up as Dugu Bo stood before him.
"How is it? Ready?" Dugu Bo glanced at Feng Xiaotian and said calmly.
Feng Xiaotian immediately released the Three Winds and said, "Ready. Please sit cross-legged, Senior."
This time, Dugu Bo's attitude seemed different. He sat cross-legged as Feng Xiaotian instructed and said, "It's alright!"
Dugu Bo didn't say much, but Feng Xiaotian clearly sensed some changes in him.
Since Dugu Bo was quiet, he had to get to work. All the groundwork had been laid; if this wasn't done well, everything would be for nothing.
Then, Feng Xiaotian had the Three Winds draw the toxins from Dugu Bo's body, but he didn't let them guide much; the first time, he only guided a few wisps of toxins.
After the toxins were drawn out, Feng Xiaotian controlled the devouring power of the Three Winds to guide these few strands of toxins into Dugu Bo's soul bone.
The speed was incredibly fast; the toxins were completely absorbed in less than ten breaths.
"Senior, you can now feel the toxins in your soul bone," Feng Xiaotian said calmly.
Dugu Bo circulated his soul power, experiencing the few strands of toxins that had just entered his soul bone. As Feng Xiaotian had said, they were indeed stored there.
Although it was only a few strands, it gave Dugu Bo hope.
"Come on, kid, do more at once. A few strands at a time would take you decades," Dugu Bo said.
"Then this time I'll do ten times more. Let's take it slow. Tell me if you feel any discomfort," Feng Xiaotian said.
And so, Feng Xiaotian continued guiding the toxins into Dugu Bo's body. An hour later, Feng Xiaotian was exhausted.
This wasn't due to the depletion of soul power, but rather the depletion of mental energy, far exceeding the energy he expended experimenting on his own body, given that his opponent was a peak Soul Douluo.
Feng Xiaotian withdrew the Three Winds, and Dugu Bo now felt his body's condition normally.
"Senior Dugu Bo, how are you feeling?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Not bad, I can already feel the poison decreasing. If it's a few dozen or a hundred more times, the poison will be almost gone."
"Soul bones actually have such wonderful uses. I need to prepare one for Yan Yan. No, I have to prepare a suitable soul bone immediately." Dugu Bo muttered to himself.
But with just these words, all the soul beasts over ten thousand years old in Sunset Forest suffered. It wasn't until the eighty-third day of detoxifying Dugu Bo that he hunted eighty-seven ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and finally found a soul bone. This shows how rare soul bones are. Dugu Bo obtained a twenty-thousand-year-old right arm bone.
During this period, Feng Xiaotian had to guide the poison out of Dugu Bo every day, and he would also force out some poison himself.
During these eighty-three days, although Feng Xiaotian didn't increase his soul power much, his mental strength improved a lot. He was almost always operating at his limit, expending all his energy.
Then, through meditation and cultivation, he recovered. Eighty-three days passed in this way. Initially, Feng Xiaotian could only sustain this for an hour, but eventually he could last two hours, doubling his previous ability.
According to Dugu Bo, his mental strength was now comparable to that of an ordinary Soul King.
This was an unexpected gain, as it resolved the soul shock he had been worried about from absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring at level forty. Now, all that remained was to further enhance his physical strength through the Ice and Fire Body Refinement!
