Chapter 52: Apprenticing to the Poison Douluo

Ning Feiliu also put on his clothes immediately after coming ashore, then smiled and cupped his hands toward Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, saying, "Sister Yan, Senior, I have successfully fulfilled the mission!"

"I didn't expect you kid to actually have a way to collect and absorb those two Immortal Herbs that even I dare not touch." Dugu Bo looked at Ning Feiliu, his eyes filled with admiration as he spoke.

Showing such courage, wisdom, and composure, Ning Feiliu was someone Dugu Bo had rarely seen among the countless young people he had encountered over so many years.

Even those genius Spirit Masters whose strength and talent were far superior to Ning Feiliu's were nowhere near as wise, brave, and steady as he was.

To have picked those two Immortal Herbs so easily, and to have remained unscathed within the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The most crucial factor was actually Ning Feiliu's strange breathing and cultivation method, which could sway moonlight and draw it into his body; it seemed to be a unique cultivation technique.

And this cultivation method was something Dugu Bo had never seen or heard of before.

That must have been something created by this kid, Ning Feiliu.

This unique cultivation method also had a powerful restorative effect, allowing Ning Feiliu to touch the two Immortal Herbs and recover quickly even when his body was constantly being injured by their extreme cold and heat.

The only pity was that his talent and martial soul limited him.

But...

Then he added the medicinal ingredients he had brought with him, which were very effective at inhibiting the activity of the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison.

Ning Feiliu's temperament and comprehension were absolutely top-tier.

Of course, the most important thing was...

Next, he began to collect herbs everywhere, mainly those that relax the muscles, stimulate blood circulation, and strengthen the foundation.

"Senior, let's conduct an experiment first," Ning Feiliu said at this moment.

"As you wish." Dugu Bo waved his hand indifferently and said, "You can use the herbs in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well however you like!"

Just for this point alone, it was something those other genius Spirit Masters with far greater strength and talent than Ning Feiliu could not do.

The speed at which this method repaired injuries even looked faster than the Healing Spirit Skill of an ordinary healing-type Spirit Master.

"Good, then I will watch you perform." Dugu Bo's tone softened quite a bit, and he said with a smile.

"Senior, then I will temporarily use the herbs you have here to prepare some anti-poison medicine for you," Ning Feiliu said respectfully.

If what Ning Feiliu said just now was true, and he could change his martial soul to become a Battle Soul Master, then the limitations of his talent would be nothing at all!

Dugu Bo suddenly felt that the sight of Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan being "lovey-dovey" together was much more pleasing to the eye.

If it were those other genius Spirit Masters, they would likely have died at the very first step of touching the Immortal Herbs.

Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "Then many thanks to you, Senior, for your generosity."

Ning Feiliu took out a dagger, cut a small wound on his index finger, dripped a drop of blood into the medicine, and then rolled it into a pill.

"Senior, please." He handed the pill to Dugu Bo and said.

Dugu Bo did not hesitate at all and swallowed the pill directly, then followed what Ning Feiliu had said earlier, beginning to gather the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in his body into the Ten Thousand Year Medusa Head Spirit Bone in his head.

Sure enough... with the help of the medicinal power in his body, the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison, which had previously almost never obeyed Dugu Bo's commands, seemed to have completely lost its ability to resist and was slowly moved by Dugu Bo into the spirit bone.

Although it was only a little bit of Jade Phosphor Snake Poison, the immediate effect made a joyful smile appear on Dugu Bo's old face.

"Hahahaha—! Kid! Very good! Very good!" He laughed and said, "It really is effective! Not bad! This method of yours is indeed real!"

"Being able to help you, Senior, is naturally excellent," Ning Feiliu said with a smile. "Since it has already taken effect, as long as you persist, Senior, and force all the toxins into the spirit bone, the problem of the snake poison backlash will naturally be solved!"

"Good!" Dugu Bo's eyes erupted with light; he took a deep breath and said, "I, Dugu Bo, will remember this life-saving grace today! By the way, kid, are you willing to take me as your master?"

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, but in the original plot, Tang San helped Dugu Bo detoxify, which also made Dugu Bo cherish his talent and propose taking him as a disciple.

Now, Ning Feiliu had also displayed powerful pharmaceutical talent, helped Dugu Bo propose a method for detoxification, and confirmed its feasibility.

Naturally, Dugu Bo was also moved to take Ning Feiliu as a disciple at this moment.

And Ning Feiliu was not like San Ge, who already had Yu Xiaogang as a teacher and, because he was proud that his own pharmaceutical level was higher than Dugu Bo's, did not want to take Dugu Bo as a master.

After all, Dugu Bo... was a Title Douluo!

Although he belonged to the bottom tier of combat power among Title Douluos, he was still a Title Douluo, and one that ordinary people feared the most.

With this Poison Douluo as a teacher, Ning Feiliu would have a powerful and feared backer!

"Student pays respects to Teacher." Ning Feiliu immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said solemnly.

"Hahahaha, good, good, good!" Dugu Bo's eyes were full of joy as he said, "Since that is the case, from now on you are my student; there is no need for formalities between master and disciple!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan was also filled with joy; this meant that her grandfather... had accepted Feiliu, right...

From now on, she would no longer worry that her interactions with Ning Feiliu would be rejected by Dugu Bo.

"By the way, since you have taken me as your master today and also given me a great gift, as your teacher, I must give a return gift."

Dugu Bo took a blue leather pouch from his waist and threw it to Ning Feiliu.

The leather pouch was only the size of two adult palms and was the kind that hung on a belt; although it was much larger than a sachet, one could only reach a hand inside.

"This item is called the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch; it can store five cubic meters of items. The most crucial thing is that this Soul Guidance Device can even store living things without any problems."

Ning Feiliu received the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch, his eyes full of joy, and said, "Many thanks, Teacher!"

"Alright, you kid, you are too polite," Dugu Bo curled his lips and said. "You're just as stubborn as your father. Next, didn't you say you wanted to forge a new martial soul? Go ahead... let me broaden my horizons as well; what exactly is this method of re-forging a martial soul?"

Ning Feiliu took a deep breath and said, "Good, Teacher, then I will go and complete my task first!"

He first searched the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and finally found the Immortal Herb he wanted to find.

It was a very strange Immortal Herb; the roots and leaves below were like a dense, finely combed vine curtain, but the top was a golden tulip, and its rich fragrance gave one a feeling of magnificence and splendor.

It was precisely the Qiluo Tulip!
