In a grand hall, two people were seated and engaged in conversation. One was a beautiful young woman, and the other an elderly man with green hair and striking green eyes.
"So, are you saying that you know someone who might be able to treat the poison in my body?" the elderly man asked his tone a mix of skepticism and hope.
"Yes," the young woman replied, "from what I've heard, it's worth a try. You have nothing to lose."
The elderly man sighed deeply. "I've nearly given up hope. But since you're recommending it, there's no harm in trying.
At that moment, a little girl entered the room, looked around, and approached the woman. "Enlil said he's coming soon," the girl whispered.
After a minute of waiting, footsteps were heard approaching. Everyone turned to see a boy no older than twelve enter the room. He greeted them with confidence, then found an empty chair and sat down quietly.
"You're not saying that this boy is the who He knows how to treat me., are you?He said with disbelief and a little discomfort in his voice.
"Yes, it may seem small, but give it a chance; you have nothing to lose."She said quietly.
"No problem since you trust him." He said with a sigh
"Alright, young man, let's get started," he said, gesturing for me to hurry. He seemed impatient and wanted to end this quickly.
I ignored his tone, as it was natural for him to doubt that a mere boy could solve a problem that even an expert in toxins like him could not treat.
I approached him and politely asked him to extend his hand. When he did, I extracted a small sample of his blood, which appeared slightly black.
After analyzing the blood for a while, I asked him to extend his hand again. He hesitated for a moment but eventually complied. I placed my palm on his hand and activated the technique I had recently learned, "Healing Palm," with a green light emanating from my hand. I then activated the Sharingan and focused on the effect of the technique on his hand. After a few minutes, I withdrew my hand and deactivated the Sharingan.
After that, I quietly returned to the chair.
Dugo Bo looked at me with sadness and said, "Didn't it work? Don't worry, I don't have much hope."
When I told him that I had four solutions, he looked at me with shock and disbelief. However, he asked with hope, "What are the solutions?"
I explained that the solutions included the following options:
1. The first solution is a direct treatment for the problem, but it is costly and risky.
2. The second solution involves creating an antidote, which might take several years.
3. The third solution requires two rare plants, with a low success rate, and it might affect your fighting spirit.
4. The fourth solution is using a technique I possess, but it could take some time.
When I said that, everyone looked at me in shock.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became colder and more oppressive. Poison Douluo said, "Young man, are you sure about this? Because I hate liars, and if you're lying to me, death will be the least of your problems."
I resisted the pressure and said, "Sir, if you hate lies, then I hate being threatened. Threaten me again, and let's see how you'll recover after that."
"Ahem."
Before the situation could escalate, we heard the voice of the Yi Family President interrupting us, and Poison Douluo immediately stopped applying pressure.
With irritation, the matriarch said, "Oh my, what have you done? You've frightened little Yi Ling!"
Poison Douluo apologized when he noticed the frightened state of Yi Ling, "I apologize, I didn't realize."
Then she turned to me and said, "Please forgive him. You must understand how painful this poison is and how it affects his mood, so try not to be upset with him."
Poison Douluo also looked at me, realizing his mistake, and said, "I apologize, young man. I lost my temper."
Seeing someone as powerful as a Douluo apologize to me, my annoyance disappeared, and I nodded in acknowledgment.
Then Poison Douluo said, "Young man, you still haven't explained the four treatments you mentioned. I hope you can clarify them more so I can understand."
I replied, "No problem."
The first treatment involves obtaining a powerful soul bone, preferably one that's a hundred thousand years old. You can store the poison in the bone, and it might evolve, granting you strong poison-related skills. However, the bone could explode from too much poison, which is why a hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone is recommended.
The second treatment is to develop an antidote, which could take a lot of time. Given your condition, the chances of surviving until the antidote is ready are slim.
The third treatment requires two herbs, one fiery and one icy, both of immortal grade. If consumed together, they will grant you a body immune to toxins. The advantage of this treatment is the complete resolution of the poison. However, finding these herbs is nearly impossible, the chances of surviving their consumption are low, and this method might affect your spirit power, so I don't recommend it.
The fourth treatment involves the technique I demonstrated earlier when I placed my hand on yours. You might not have noticed, but the poison in that area became lighter.
The effect was subtle because I'm not strong enough yet. Treating someone as powerful as a Douluo with just a Spirit Master's technique is unrealistic. If you choose this method, you'll have to wait until I grow stronger—perhaps as a Spirit Emperor—before it might work."
Poison Douluo pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm... excuse me, but I need some time to think about it."
Enlil responded calmly, "No problem, it's an important decision for you."
Then, Duogo Bo spoke up, "Now, tell me, what do you want in return? I don't believe you'd come all this way to try to heal me without reason."
Enlil replied, "You're right. As you know, I'm a doctor, and through my sources at Spirit Hall, I've heard that you own a medicinal garden with rare herbs in the Sunset Forest. I want the medicinal garden in exchange for curing you. What do you say?"
Duogo Bo was visibly shocked when he heard my request and said, "Young man, how do you know about Spirit Hall and my garden? Could it be that that pervert sent you? I know he has a thing for rare plants."
But he quickly noticed my calm smile, and understanding dawned on him—I had no intention of answering him directly. Realizing that pushing for an answer would get him nowhere, Duogo Bo relented and responded to my request: "Very well, you can have it. There's no use for the garden if I'm dead. But know this—I won't give it to you until I'm fully cured. Also, you're not allowed to take more than ten plants before my recovery. Once I'm completely healed, the garden will be yours."
"Agreed, then. However, I would like you to guide me to its exact location, as I only know it's in the middle of the Sunset Forest. It would also be helpful if you could assist me in hunting a spirit beast on the way there. As you know, if you choose the fourth solution, it will benefit you if I become stronger." I made my request without reservation.
"No problem. It just so happens that my granddaughter has reached level 20 and needs a soul ring. Let's go together," he said without any sign of discomfort.
After leaving the Yi family's home and bidding them farewell, we arrived at Duogo Bo's house. He asked the guard at the door to summon his granddaughter, and after some time, a girl with teal hair, looking quite charming, came out.
"Hello, Grandpa, what's going on?"
He looked at me and said, "This is my granddaughter, Dugu Yan. She's a bit mischievous, so I hope you don't mind."
"This boy's name is Enlil Uchiha, and I will be taking you both to search for the soul ring."
Dugu Yan greeted me warmly, despite being a bit unsettled by her grandfather's description: "Hello, Enlil Uchiha. As my grandfather mentioned, my name is Dugu Yan. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, it's an honor to meet you."
Before we could talk further, Duogo Bo interrupted, "Alright, you can talk in the carriage. Let's go now."
After some time in the carriage, we arrived because the distance was close to the capital
After some searching, we found a suitable monster for Dugu Yan and obtained the Blue Jaded Scale Poison skill and its effect
Numbing poison.
Takes away the feeling of pain.
Increases defense by 30%
After that, we searched for a suitable soul ring. For the second soul ring, I wanted it to be related to copying, which is a feature of the Sharingan. I noticed that the innate skills of the Sharingan, such as illusion and copying, were weak compared to perception, which was stronger than in my previous life due to the soul ring. The reason I didn't look for a soul ring related to illusion is that I wanted it to be a 10,000-year-old soul ring, which would make the illusion much stronger. However, I cannot absorb a 10,000-year-old soul ring as a second soul ring because my body would explode.
So, after a day of searching, we found a monkey with a bright, blood-red eye. He is four thousand years old. I recognized him as one of the animals known for copying the actions and movements of people. Although it is not certain that he relies on his eyes for this, there is no problem, as the martial spirits are of high quality or at the same level. A machine like Seraph will adapt your skills to suit you.
I wanted to look for a monster that specializes in copying and not a random monster, firstly to regulate the power of the skill and secondly because I might get an illusion skill and then I might cry.
After Dugu Bo injured him, I killed him with a knife in his neck, and then I started absorbing the soul ring. I didn't have a problem.
When I absorbed my first soul ring, I noticed that I could absorb a thousand-year-old soul ring, but I missed it. Perhaps the reason for the ease of absorbing a soul ring above the age limit is because of my careful control of the soul's power, so I do not let it rage in my body.
Before I could check my skills, I heard an exclamation behind me
"You're right. You can absorb a thousand-year-old soul ring and even five thousand more. To be honest, I didn't think you would succeed."
"Okay, it's done. Let's prepare dugu yan first and then we'll continue. Go to the medical park."
"No problem"
