"I'll give you one day. After one day, I will poison you. You must start making the antidote now. If you can survive until tomorrow, I will believe you."

Dugu Bo spoke with a serious expression.

"So I should be able to use all the medicinal herbs here, right? Otherwise, how am I supposed to make the antidote?"

Gu Yi asked tentatively.

"Well, but I have to tell you in advance that even I can't distinguish the medicinal herbs here, and their medicinal properties could very well lead to your death."

"I know who you are. If you die here, I won't take any responsibility!"

Dugu Yan had already told Gu Yi about his identity, which was why he didn't kill Gu Yi at the beginning; otherwise, Gu Yi would have been a corpse long ago.

"Don't worry, I know."

"If you can't even figure these things out, how can I help you detoxify?"

As he spoke, Gu Yi glanced around, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

What lay before him was nothing short of a botanical garden, filled with rare and precious plants in countless shapes and forms, a dazzling sight.

chaos.

Dugu Bo glanced at him and felt a sense of unease welling up inside him.

Although he didn't recognize any of the things here, he knew they were all treasures, and he regarded them as precious gems.

But looking at Gu Yi's eyes now, he always felt like he had let a wolf into the house.

"Alright, since you're confident, let's leave it at that. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Dugu Bo sighed silently in his heart, then disappeared from Gu Yi's sight, his whereabouts unknown.

Seeing this, Gu Yi began to act freely, and the first target that came to his mind was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

The eight-cornered ice grass and the fiery apricot blossoms there are both top-notch!

Not only did it grant Tang San the characteristics of fire and ice immunity, but it also made his blood the antidote for Dugu Bo.

Although the process may be painful, it is an essential step to becoming stronger.

Soon, Gu Yi discovered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the center of this herb garden.

Just as described in the original work, the pool contained two completely different colors of water, but they were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other, which was quite spectacular.

On either side of the pool grew a strangely shaped plant, namely the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot.

"Well done, I'm coming right now."

As he spoke, Gu Yi took out a short sword from the soul tool at his waist and instantly used his third soul skill to teleport himself in front of the octagonal ice grass. In the next second, he swiftly slashed it down from its root and then returned to his original position.

Gu Yi still had some impression of these details from the original work: the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass could only be cut with metal objects, while the Fiery Apricot could only be picked with jade objects.

Otherwise, they will all lose their effectiveness.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

As he spoke, Gu Yi took out a small jade knife from his soul tool again and focused his gaze on Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

One trick is all you need, and Gu Yi used the same method to remove it again.

Then, Gu Yi sat down at the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and used spatial teleportation on the two herbs, transferring them to his front.

"Yes, as expected, the toxicity of the two herbs has been neutralized, so it's safe to eat."

Gu Yi was overjoyed and immediately swallowed it without hesitation.

The medicine's effects would neutralize in only ten breaths, so he had to hurry. But the moment he finished taking it all, he felt two energies, one hot and one cold, constantly alternating within his body.

One moment he felt as if he were in an extremely cold hell, and the next he felt as if he were in a blazing molten lava. The two extremes kept alternating, making Gu Yi almost lose his mind!

He endured the pain in his body and managed to fall backward.

'thump! ’

He sank completely into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Gu Yi knew that only in this way could he stop suffering so much, and only in this way could he achieve his goal.

But the feeling was too painful, and Gu Yi couldn't bear it. After falling into the pool, he lost consciousness.

It wasn't until the next morning that Gu Yi found himself floating on the pool, his body fully recovered to its best condition.

"This...this is a success?"

"Haha, it's not as difficult as in the original story."

Gu Yi was overjoyed and climbed ashore as he spoke.

Now that the most painful thing is over, he can go find the good things he needs.

First comes the fragrant tulip, then the delicate and fragrant fairy-like chrysanthemum, the heartbreaking red acacia, the jade-like skin of the narcissus, the eight-petaled fairy orchid, and the wondrous chrysanthemum reaching the heavens...

He wanted everything that appeared in the original work!

Anyway, I don't know Dugu Bo, and he won't use it even if I leave it for him, so I might as well take it all myself. Maybe it will be useful later.

"Consider this payment for saving him and his granddaughter."

Chapter 62 Return to the clan

"Kid! I'm back! Are you ready?"

At noon, Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well on time and began searching for Gu Yi's whereabouts.

"Oh! I'm here, come on, I'm ready."

Gu Yi was squatting next to the Fragrant Silk Fairy, a spot he had specifically chosen.

Upon seeing Dugu Bo return, he immediately stood up and looked at him with a smile.

"Since you're ready, then try my first test."

As he spoke, a thick cloud of poisonous mist erupted from Dugu Bo's middle finger, instantly enveloping Gu Yi within it.

But Gu Yi didn't make any move when he saw this, and even yawned leisurely.

"Alright, that's enough for now. You can move on to the next one."

Gu Yi's languid voice came from within the poisonous fog, as if he was feeling somewhat bored.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned. This was quite different from what he knew. Gu Yi hadn't taken any antidote, so how could he be alright?

Dugu Bo was not in a hurry. Instead, he waited quietly for the poisonous fog to dissipate. However, after the fog dissipated, Gu Yi was still unharmed, with no changes on his body and no signs of poisoning.

Although he had only released the poisonous fog casually, Gu Yi's ability to neutralize it so easily was something he hadn't expected.

"Kid, don't be so arrogant. Try my second one."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo flipped his hand, and a small, emerald-green snake appeared in front of him.

He tossed it to Gu Yi and said again, "Kid, your second test is to let it bite you, and draw blood."

Before Dugu Bo could finish speaking, the little snake suddenly lunged forward and bit down hard on Gu Yi's arm.

These nine sections of jade are extremely aggressive. Gu Yi doesn't have the Mysterious Jade Hand, so he was hit immediately.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Gu Yi's right arm turned emerald green, but not long after, his arm returned to its original state.

"Uh...yeah!"

Dugu Bo, who was preparing to detoxify Gu Yi, froze on the spot. He was initially a little smug, but that smugness quickly disappeared.

"You...how did you do it?"

Dugu Bo was very puzzled, his mind filled with questions.

He was very clear about the toxicity of the nine-section jade. If an ordinary person were bitten by it, they would turn into a thick liquid in no time. But Gu Yi was still fine.

If it were the previous poisonous fog, it would be one thing, but how could he ignore the deadly poison of this nine-section jade? How did he manage to do that?

"This... is a secret."

"Come on, bring out all the tests you have left."

Gu Yi smiled mysteriously and spoke confidently to Dugu Bo.

"Alright! Well done! Now you can try my natal snake venom again!"

At this moment, Dugu Bo's competitive spirit was also aroused. He refused to believe that he, a Poison Douluo, could not poison a child.

As soon as he finished speaking, nine spirit rings rose up around him and circled around him. The fingernails on his hands also slowly grew longer until they reached three inches in length before stopping.

The fingernails were sharp as cones, with a bright green sheen.

It also had some colorful halo.

Without the slightest hesitation, he flicked his finger and pierced Gu Yi's arm in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, Gu Yi's arm was eroded by a black aura, and his entire arm instantly turned black, which continued to spread to other places.

"Damn! So fast!"

Gu Yi exclaimed in surprise, then quickly took the pollen from the fragrant Qiluo flower and applied it to the wound.

As described in the original work, this pollen has the effect of curing all poisons.

Given his current physical condition, it's only a matter of time before he can completely absorb the toxins, so Gu Yi is not flustered at all.

This made Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, a little flustered. Originally, he had believed Gu Yi during the second test, but he insisted on competing with him.

Now things are really bad. Gu Yi's face turned completely black. This is terrible. If Gu Rong finds out, he'll probably have to spend the rest of his life on the run!

'Once this brat dies, I'll immediately take Yanzi to the Star Luo Empire. It's no longer safe here.'

'We'll just go and seek refuge with the Star Luo Empire's royal family then. With their power, they should be able to protect me and Yanzi, right?'

Seeing Gu Yi's face grow increasingly dark, Dugu Bo's desire to escape became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, Gu Yi's body began to change. A faint red light seeped out from his skin, followed by a white light. The black energy that had been attacking Gu Yi's body stopped at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yi began to slowly expel the toxins!

"What...what's going on?"

Dugu Bo was beyond shocked; he could hardly believe it!

He never imagined that even his own natal poison couldn't affect Gu Yi. Although it was only a tiny bit, it was definitely not something a Soul Master of Gu Yi's level could withstand!
