Chapter 65: Binghuo Liangyi Yan (Please Collect, Please Recommend Ticket, Monthly Ticket!)

Facing Dugu Bo's kindness, Gu Xuan was naturally delighted, his gentle smile undiminished, Gu Xuan replied: "It's only natural; senior, you need not be so; junior, receiving your acknowledgment is enough."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's smile widened, he nodded slightly, then said: "Since you are Yan Yan's boyfriend, you no longer need to call me senior; that would be too distant. If you wish, you can also call me Grandfather."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's eyes lit up slightly; he was not someone casual, casually acknowledging a grandfather was something he could not do, even if the other party was a Titled Douluo.

But Dugu Bo was different; he was not only Du Gu Yan's grandfather, but also a Titled Douluo, and moreover the current master of the Binghuo Liangyi Yan. Calling Dugu Bo 'Grandfather', Gu Xuan was quite willing.

After all, even if he does not call him now, he will eventually have to change his address.

"'Then Gu Xuan will obey rather than merely show respect.' Gu Xuan also shouted with a smile: 'Grandfather Dugu, from now on Gu Xuan will address you thus.'"

"'Hahaha, good! To have a grandson-in-law like you, this old man can also be considered able to enjoy his later years.' Dugu Bo laughed heartily, very satisfied."

Beside her, Du Gu Yan shyly tugged at Dugu Bo's arm: 'Grandfather...'

Dugu Bo rubbed Du Gu Yan's little head, then looked at Gu Xuan and said: 'Xiao Xuan, this being your first visit to our home, we should originally have welcomed you and washed away your travel dust, but Yan Yan's poison is a concern of this old man; since you are confident, why not go now to inspect the Binghuo Liangyi Yan?'

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, Gu Xuan had not yet responded, but Du Gu Yan pouted and shouted: 'Grandfather... there's no need to rush; Xiao Xuan hasn't even had lunch yet!'

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo then realized that when Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan returned, it was already noon, and now less than an hour had passed.

Not to mention Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan rushing back, even he himself had not eaten lunch.

However, Gu Xuan said: 'Grandfather Dugu's words also make sense; resolving Yan Zi's problem sooner would also let me relax earlier; I'll just grab a bite for lunch, let's head straight to the Binghuo Liangyi Yan.'

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Du Gu Yan was moved to tears, gazing at the crystalline flow in Gu Xuan's purple eyes.

"'Xiao Xuan...'"

Not only Du Gu Yan, but Dugu Bo also felt greatly relieved by Gu Xuan's attitude; being able to consider his precious granddaughter so thoughtfully made finding a boyfriend reliable.

"'Good! No delay, let's set off now!' Dugu Bo directly said."

Du Gu Yan did not object either; her longing for Gu Xuan grew bit by bit, how could one not be moved by a man who considers her so? The three directly boarded the manor's split carriage heading for Sunset Forest; on the carriage they ate dry rations, and Gu Xuan and Dugu Bo now had a topic to discuss, exchanging their alchemy insights.

If they hadn't exchanged views, it would have been fine, but once they did, Dugu Bo's surprise at Gu Xuan grew even greater, for whenever he posed a question, Gu Xuan could not only give a near-perfect answer, but also extrapolate further.

Sometimes Dugu Bo felt that his several decades of life had been wasted like a dog's.

Actually, it wasn't that Dugu Bo's knowledge lacked breadth, but rather that Gu Xuan's knowledge accumulation was excessively rich.

Gu Xuan can be said to have grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth from childhood, wanting nothing and having everything available; while studying alchemy under Yang Wudi, besides inheriting the Po Clan's legacy, the books stored in the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect were also at his disposal.

As for Dugu Bo, although he holds the title of Titled Douluo, he is nevertheless a lonely solitary individual; indeed, from the starting point Gu Xuan has already far surpassed him.

Dugu Bo and Gu Xuan, grandfather and grandson, chatted while Du Gu Yan occasionally interjected; time flew by, and after three hours the carriage stopped outside Sunset Forest.

Here the carriage could no longer enter; Dugu Bo had the coachman stay in a nearby town, while he personally led Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan directly into Sunset Forest. This time they were not riding in a carriage, nor were they walking; instead, Dugu Bo, relying on his vast soul power, lifted Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan up and flew them toward the depths of Sunset Forest.

Although Sunset Forest is also a vast wild spirit beast forest, its danger level is still inferior to that of the Star Dou Great Forest; as a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo faces no problem flying through Sunset Forest.

Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan were also not experiencing their first flight escorted by a Titled Douluo, so nothing extraordinary happened along the way; merely after half an hour, the three arrived before a terrifyingly extensive poisonous mire.

This poisonous mire encircled several surrounding mountain peaks; such a method could be called shocking to the world, the poison mist is entirely bluish-green, and any mosquitoes, insects, rats, or ants that touch it die instantly.

No living creature could possibly enter it, for this is the handiwork of Dugu Bo, the world's foremost poison expert, a Poison Douluo.

Even for a Titled Douluo, traversing this poisonous mire is no simple matter; beneath a Titled Douluo, a Soul Master would need extraordinarily strong poison resistance to have any chance of passing through.

Dugu Bo calmly said: 'We have arrived; the Binghuo Liangyi Yan lies within.'

Gu Xuan stared intently at the poisonous mire with sharp eyes, and exclaimed in mild astonishment: 'Grandfather Dugu, as expected of a Poison Douluo, this grand scheme is surely unmatched under heaven!'

Dugu Bo laughed heartily and replied: 'It's also because this environment is special; otherwise, maintaining such a vast poisonous mire for a long time would be beyond even my capacity.'

"'Let's go.'"

Dugu Bo waved his hand, the poison mist automatically receded, revealing a broad road; Du Gu Yan followed closely behind Gu Xuan as they entered the range of the poisonous mire.

After roughly a quarter of an hour, the three reached a cliff face; the cliff was spacious enough to accommodate thousands, Dugu Bo led Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan to its edge, and the wondrous view below lay fully before their eyes.

The cliff stood a hundred meters high; below lay a basin suffused with red‑blue mist, within which various exotic plants rarely seen elsewhere swayed gracefully, and merely drawing a breath allowed one to feel the abundant heavenly‑earthly energy here.

At the basin's center, a spring eye could be faintly seen, about thirty meters in diameter, composed of red and blue; the red‑blue mist filling the basin originates precisely from this spring.

"'The spring eyes are twin, twin dragons guard the depths… Having passed the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, I… have come!' Gu Xuan could not help but feel excitement welling up inside."

Du Gu Yan watched Gu Xuan close his eyes, unable to resist spreading her arms and inhaling deeply; beside her she found it somewhat amusing.

"'How is it, Xiao Xuan, is this the Binghuo Liangyi Yan?' Du Gu Yan still dared not be certain."

Gu Xuan slowly opened his eyes; a flash of light passed through his dark‑gray pupils, and he exclaimed excitedly: 'Without a doubt! Grandfather Dugu, the poison on you and Yan Zi now has hope.'

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Dugu Bo could not help but feel anticipation rise within; truly the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, just as they had spoken of in the carriage, their poison could be cured.

Not only Du Gu Yan, but even Dugu Bo's own poison could be saved.
