Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 64 ---

Yunlong was staring at his maids, leaning on a tree because they still fainted, making him shook his head because even he had a hard time resisting Jin Eyu's pressure.

"Well, it doesn't matter because I already secured Dugu Bo as my loyal subordinate," Yunlong commented while waking his maids.

"Hey, wake up." He said while shaking their body a little, but they didn't respond, so he decided to flick them on the forehead.

"Ouch... My forehead." Bai Xue and Yu Ning'er groaned in pain while reaching their forehead, which becomes red because of Yunlong's flicks.

Chu Xiaoyu also covered her forehead with her hands, but she calmly looked around to sense the situation, only to find that her young master smirked at them.

"Maybe I should develop a flicking technique. It's effective after all." Yunlong lightly joked, making the three maids frowned for some reason.

"Where are we?" Bai Xue indifferently asked while looking around and noticed many herbs nearby, which brightened her eyes.

Bai Xue is about to run away toward the herbs, but Yunlong immediately caught her clothes to stop her, making her troubled because she can observe the herbs she never saw before.

Yunlong sighed while giving her a stern look and said, "Stop right there. Those herbs are poisonous, and you can't touch them carelessly."

"Here, read page 420, section 69." He stated while giving Bai Xue a book about poisonous and medicinal herbs.

Bai Xue eagerly accepted the book, making Yunlong snickered a little because she already starts flipping the book page quickly.

"Can I hold the book for a few minutes?" Bai Xue suddenly requested while staring at him with sparkling green eyes.

"Well, Give it back to me after you finished reading that book." Yunlong calmly replied, to which Bai Xue responded with an excited nod.

'She's like a tamed kitten.' Yunlong commented in his heart while shifting his gaze at the skies, where he can see Dugu Bo brought a man in his arms.

He can also see a girl a few years older than him on Dugu Bo's back, who is most likely his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

"Young Master," Dugu Bo said while softly landing in front of Yunlong.

"Is that your son?" Yunlong asked while looking at the ashen man, who is around his late twenties.

"Mm, He's my son, Dugu Xin." Dugu Bo answered with a nod, but we can see that his son's condition is terrible.

Dugu Xin's body is skinny, and his complexion is ashen, so not only he got poisoned by his martial soul, but he also can't cultivate because his body is weak.

The girl on Dugu Bo's back suddenly jumped and kneeled in front of Yunlong, "Please! Please save my father!"

"Dugu Yan..." Dugu Bo whispered with a bitter tone while looking at his granddaughter.

Yunlong stared at the girl, who kneeled in front of him. He feels a little complicated but decided to ignore the feeling and said, "Don't worry, I'll save him."

"Let's begin the treatment." He added while staring at Dugu Bo, who nodded his head.

They proceed to move toward the volcano, and when they arrived at the volcano, a weird-looking little pond greeted them, which separated into two sections white and red springs.

'This is the ice and fire well.' Yunlong thought while looking at the pond, which released an icy and hot aura.

Dugu Bo calmly lays his son's body onto a black stone with a flat surface and said, "Young Master."

"Does your son have a spirit bone?" Yunlong asked while checking Dugu Xin's condition, which is good and bad at the same time.

"He absorbed two spirit bones, right arm spirit bone, and the other one is left leg spirit bone." Dugu Bo truthfully answered because he's the one who gave the spirit bones to his son.

"Good, we only have to stabilize his condition first." Yunlong smiled while taking a few small boxes from his inventory, which are pills ingredients.

"Bai Xue." He suddenly said while opening the boxes, revealing a bunch of herbs.

"Yes?" Bai Xue responded with a confused expression while raising her gaze from the book to Yunlong.

"Watch." Yunlong gave her a confident smile while raising his right hands, which had a burning black flame.

"Huh?" Bai Xue tilted her head in confusion.

Yunlong stared at the herbs and slowly gathered them into a small batch, which he burned to cleaned the impurities. The herbs slowly turned into a black liquid, which released pleasant scents that spreading around them.

Pa!

"Condense." Yunlong clasped his hands, which pressured the liquid into his hands and condensed it into pills.

Bai Xue's green eyes are gleaming in fascination because even though she has heard about an alchemist and its legend, she never saw one by herself.

"Is that alchemy?" Dugu Bo whispered in curiosity because he also has tried to make a pill by himself, but its ends with utter failure.

Even though making medicine and poison is easy for him, he's trying hard to learn alchemy's art independently.

'He should have a great teacher that taught him.' Dugu Bo thought while staring at Yunlong, who opened his hands, revealing black pearls gleaming in white hue.

"Can you wake him up?" Yunlong instructed, which makes Dugu Bo snaps out of his thought.

"I can, but the poison that I already temporarily sealed will flowing again." Dugu Bo replied with hesitation.

"Do it," Yunlong stated.

Dugu Bo released a heavy sigh as he gently placed his hand on Dugu Xin's chest and flowed spirit energy to unseal the poison in his son's body.

Cough!

Dugu Xin suddenly coughed a mouthful of red blood from his mouth, making Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan panic, but Yunlong immediately placed his hand on his chest to stabilize his condition.

"Hurry Up, Eat these pills," Yunlong said while pushing a bunch of black pills into Dugu Bo's mouth.

Dugu Xin's body shivered for a moment, and a white hue comes out of his body, which is the effect of Yunlong's pill that's fulfilling his body and soul condition.

"Yan'er..." Dugu Xin's weakly said while opening his eyes.

"Father!" Dugu Yan shouted in happiness, but Dugu Bo stopped her by catching her hands when she was about to approach her father.

"Wait, it's not over yet," Dugu Bo calmly said while looking at the white hue turned green, which is the jade phosphorus serpent's poison.

Yunlong calmly looked at the green hues, which doesn't affect him because of his poison immunity.

"The poison evaporated?" Dugu Bo responded with a surprised expression.

"My pill not only stabilized his condition but also cleansed the poison by secreting it out of his body in gas form," Yunlong answered while looking at Dugu Xins' face, which becomes less pale and gained a bit of color.

"But, if we don't treat it, the poison from the jade phosphorus serpent will come again," He calmly added, which makes Dugu Bo worried.

"So, what should we do?" Dugu Bo asked while looking at his son, who calmly breathed.

"The answer to that question is spirit bone," Yunlong replied while smiling at Dugu Bo, who is cluelessly staring at him.

"Spirit bone?" Dugu Bo whispered while pondering about something.

"By pushing the poison contained in the body to an absorbed Spirit Bone, you can restrict the poison within the Spirit Bone, where it wouldn't affect your health," Yunlong stated, making Dugu Bo's eyes widened because he didn't think about it before.

"Of course, spirit bone..." Dugu Bo smiled while looking at Dugu Yan, who worriedly stared at her father.

'I can save my family.' Dugu Bo thought while giving Dugu Yan a soft pat.

"May I know your name, young master." Dugu Bo politely asked Yunlong.

"My name is Yunlong," Yunlong answered with a calm expression.

"I see..." Dugu Bo nodded his head while walking toward Yunlong and kneeled in front of him.

"I, Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo." Dugu Bo declared with a clear tone, "Pledge my loyalty to you. My master, Yunlong."

"I at this moment, accept your loyalty," Yunlong naturally stated while staring at Dugu Bo.

"I'm expecting good performance from you." He added with a smile on his face.

Dugu Bo calmly raised his head and said, "Mm, I'll do the best for you, young master."
