If you do not abandon me, I will be your godfather.

Chapter 18 If you do not abandon me, I will be your godfather.

Lan Minghua stood in front of Dugu Bo, catching Wu Song's slashing knife with one hand.

With a loud boom, endless blade energy swept past Lan Minghua's sides, making a whooshing sound.

Dugu Bo opened his eyes with difficulty, staring at the scene before him with a horrified expression.

His unstoppable attack was easily parried by this man who looked like a homeless person.

What puzzled him even more was why the person in front of him would save him.

Lan Minghua gently pushed the blade, saying helplessly, "Erlang, are you getting carried away again?"

As expected, the only person who could control Wu Song was Wu Dalang, but even he seemed unable to completely control him.

The red light in Wu Song's eyes faded, and he reluctantly withdrew his dagger.

"I'm sorry, Sect Leader, I got a little too excited because it's been so long since I've fought."

Lan Minghua rolled his eyes, thinking that having him by his side might not be a good thing.

After all, if Wu Song were to start killing Xing, he wouldn't always be able to stop him.

I've used another trial card now, and I'm almost out of trial cards.

He waved his hand repeatedly and said to Wu Song, "Erlang, you should go do what you want to do and spread the fame of our Tianlong Gang."

"Yes, Sect Leader. I will let those people know that our Heavenly Dragon Gang is the number one gang on the continent!" Wu Song said solemnly.

Before he left, Lan Minghua continued, "Don't let me hear you tarnishing the reputation of the Heavenly Dragon Gang, or I'll beat you up!"

"Ahem, I understand, Sect Leader."

Wu Song responded guiltily and quickly fled, fearing that Lan Minghua would regret it.

Dugu Bo, who was on top of him, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He seemed to have heard something incredible.

The largest gang on the mainland, the Heavenly Dragon Gang?!

How come I've never heard of it?

Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Gang, like the Clear Sky Sect, is a reclusive sect?!

Dugu Bo groaned inwardly, even if they were lying, it didn't really concern him.

After all, he is now a lamb to the slaughter.

Lan Minghua turned around and looked at Dugu Bo, who had lost all his strength.

Dugu Bo was quite tough; "The victor is king, the loser is villain. Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"

"When did I ever say I was going to kill you? Don't get me wrong, okay? Do you think I'm the kind of person who enjoys indiscriminately killing innocent people?!"

Upon hearing Lan Minghua's words, Dugu Bo sighed: "If you take away the Ice Red Yin-Yang Eye, it's the same as killing this old man."

"Tch, so what if you're poisoned and need to use the Ice-Red Yin-Yang Eye to suppress the toxins in your body? Even if they're gone, you won't die right away."

Lan Minghua succinctly revealed the reason why Dugu was poisoned and why he refused to let go of the Ice-Red Yin-Yang Eye.

Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile. "Indeed, I won't die immediately, but it will only be a few years of painful, lingering existence."

He wasn't actually afraid of death; what he feared was that his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, would also have to endure the same suffering.

"You've been poisoned. Can't you ask someone to help you detoxify? It's such a simple thing, don't you understand?" Lan Minghua picked his nose and said calmly.

"Antidote?" Dugu Bo scoffed self-deprecatingly. "My title is 'Poison,' making me arguably the strongest poison user on the continent. If even I can't cure this poison, who can?"

"Me? And I have more than one antidote for the poison in your body."

"What? You have a way to detoxify!"

Dugu Bo couldn't believe it, but he didn't think Lan Minghua would deceive him.

After all, the other party was much stronger than him, so there was no need for him to deceive him.

Dugu Bo was quick-witted and immediately said, "Senior, if you can cure the poison in my body, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will be yours."

"Even if I kill you, you'll still be mine, won't you?"

Upon hearing Lan Minghua's words, Dugu Bo's face stiffened, and he was unable to refute them.

"Alright, I'm not kidding you anymore. Let's go, when we get to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I'll tell you how to cure the poison."

Dugu Bo didn't know if Lan Minghua was lying to him, but he had no other choice.

Soon the two arrived at the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which resembled a Tai Chi diagram.

Lan Minghua kept his word and told Dugu Bo the way to detoxify.

"Do you see those two immortal herbs by the spring? One is called the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and the other is called the Fiery Apricot Blossom."

"If you consume them together, the toxicity of the two immortal herbs will be neutralized, allowing a small, icy red Yin-Yang eye to form within your body, thus detoxifying you."

Dugu Bo's eyes burned with desire, wishing he could consume the two immortal herbs right now.

However, Lan Minghua interrupted, saying, "But there are drawbacks to this method of detoxification; it will neutralize all your poison skills."

Dugu Bo hesitated; he was the weakest Title Douluo to begin with.

If even his poison skills were to dissipate, he would truly have no distinguishing features left.

So, steeling himself, he asked Lan Minghua, "Senior, are there any other antidotes?"

"Of course there is. The second method is even simpler. You just need to force all the toxins in your body to the soul bone."

Lan Minghua remembered that Tang San cured Dugu Bo's poison in the original novel in this way.

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing about the second method, Dugu Bo suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing that he hadn't known such a simple method.

Based on his years of experience using poison, this would work.

"Thank you for informing me, senior. This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire now belongs to you."

Lan Minghua nodded and accepted it without hesitation.

They only took away the well-known immortal herbs from the Ice-Red Yin-Yang Eyes, without completely looting them.

They took the following: Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Youxiang Qiluo Fairy, Bajiao Xuanbing Grass, Liehuo Xingjiao Shu, Baban Xianlan, Qiluo Tulip, Jiguan Fenghuang Kui, Xiangsi Duanchang Hong, Wangchuan Qiushui Lu, and Jiupin Zizhi.

As for the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Lan Minghua did not choose to take it away, but left it here to nourish the growth of other immortal herbs.

Dugu Bo prepared to force the poison into his soul bone, intending to test it on himself.

If it were really possible, then his granddaughter wouldn't have to suffer from poisoning.

Upon seeing this scene, Lan Minghua sighed.

Actually, he had a better way to detoxify, which was the method of treating erysipelas that he had recently extracted with Wu Song.

The method of treating erysipelas comes from the heavens next door, gathering all the poisonous gas (elements) in the body into a poison pill.

In this way, it can not only detoxify, but also enhance the use of poison in the poison pill.

However, Dugu Bo made it clear to him that it was just a transaction, and Lan Minghua had no obligation to teach him the Dan Du technique.

Forcing the toxins into the soul bone actually has very obvious drawbacks.

The capacity of a soul bone is limited, and as long as Dugu Bo is alive, he will produce toxins.

The lifespan of a Title Douluo is much longer than that of an ordinary person.

If the injected toxin exceeds the limit of the soul bone, once it erupts, the consequences will range from amputation to death.

The only soul bone on Dugu Bo's body is his head soul bone.

Once the toxin takes effect, death is almost certain.

"Sigh, since Lan Minghua is such a kind-hearted person, I, Lan Minghua, will be kind-hearted too."

Lan Minghua walked over and interrupted Dugu Bo's preparations, leaving the latter puzzled.

"The second method also has its drawbacks. If the toxins exceed the capacity of the soul bone, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be."

"I know, but, isn't this the only option?" Dugu Bo said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Seeing this, Lan Minghua said softly, "I have another antidote method, better than the previous two, and without any side effects. However..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dugu Bo knelt down in front of him.

"Having spent half my life wandering, I only regret not having met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!"

"ha?!"
