Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 61

Chapter 61: Immortal Herb Password Input Successful

“Your mother? Mystic Ice Douluo?” Du Guobo looked at Nan Feihuang with confusion.

He knew Nan Feihuang’s mother, the newly promoted Mystic Ice Douluo, of course. But he and Lan Xue were total strangers. What could she possibly want to tell him in private?

Nan Feihuang was at his wit’s end. He couldn’t exactly tell Du Guobo that he was inexplicably looking for him. A child, what important matter could he possibly have? Even if he was the son of a Title Douluo, Du Guobo wouldn’t bother.

But if it was a message from his mother, that was different. He could have refused a previous visit, but now that they were face-to-face, as fellow Title Douluo, Du Guobo couldn’t completely ignore Lan Xue.

Pride aside, he wasn’t keen on needlessly offending someone of his own level.

“Come on, brat!” Du Guobo grabbed Nan Feihuang, and with a flash, they disappeared.

Not only Qin Ming, but even Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan, and other Soul Douluo, couldn’t react in time. Indeed, even for Soul Douluo, the gap between them and a Title Douluo was as vast as a chasm.

Soon, Du Guobo brought Nan Feihuang to a small lake outside the academy. “Kid, don’t worry, there’s no one else around. Say whatever you need to say.”

“Yes, senior. Excuse me, senior, but when it’s rainy, how is the tingling and itching in your sides? Is it still getting worse?” Nan Feihuang asked directly.

“What are you saying?” Du Guobo’s eyes sharpened instantly.

Nan Feihuang, however, seemed not to notice, continuing on his own. “Senior, your symptoms occur once at noon and once at midnight every day. In your current condition, each attack should last for at least an hour. Also, around the third watch of the night, you experience a stabbing pain in your head. Your body spasms for at least half an hour. Am I right?”

Having finished describing Du Guobo’s symptoms, Nan Feihuang naturally sensed his anger, but he wasn’t afraid at all. He seemed to even hear a “ding” sound in the void.

If there was a system, it would definitely pop up a message at this moment: Password input correct. Please select the immortal herbs you need.

“You little brat, shut up!” Du Guobo could no longer contain himself and grabbed Nan Feihuang by the throat.

This was his biggest secret. No one knew, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to know. If his enemies knew when his symptoms occurred, they could launch a surprise attack, and even if he had a hundred lives, it wouldn’t be enough.

“Senior, don’t be angry! Will killing me help?” Nan Feihuang smiled.

Du Guobo froze. Yes, would killing this kid help?

He was just relaying a message from his mother. The one who truly knew about his symptoms was Lan Xue. Could he kill Lan Xue?

Although Lan Xue was a newly promoted Title Douluo, after obtaining her ninth Soul Ring, her level should be at least 91, on par with him.

Unlike Du Guobo, who wasn’t good at one-on-one combat, Lan Xue was known for her prowess in single combat. She once fought Tang Hao to a standstill, even forcing out the legendary soul ring detonation technique from the昊天宗 (Haotian Sect) before being defeated.

Du Guobo knew he was no match for Lan Xue in a one-on-one fight.

This was another reason why Nan Feihuang deliberately mentioned his mother—self-preservation. If he told Du Guobo that only he knew this secret, Du Guobo might kill him to keep it quiet before Nan Feihuang could even explain.

Even if he didn’t kill him today to avoid suspicion, as a poison Soul Master, it wouldn’t be difficult for Du Guobo to have Nan Feihuang die quietly in the academy later.

But now it was different. In Du Guobo’s mind, even killing Nan Feihuang wouldn’t solve anything, because he thought Lan Xue had discovered it and asked Nan Feihuang to relay the message. If he killed Nan Feihuang and angered Lan Xue, even if she didn’t take action personally, if she spread the word about his severe poisoning and the times of his attacks, he would suffer the consequences.

Du Guobo held grudges fiercely, and he had many enemies.

Therefore, there was no point in doing something so thankless.

Moreover, after the Ancient Thunder King Country learned about this, they contacted him immediately. They should have no ill intentions; otherwise, they would have killed him easily while he was suffering a poison attack.

“Tell me, what does your mother want from me to keep this secret?” Du Guobo asked in a deep voice, releasing Nan Feihuang.

“Senior, I have my own request, but before that, please give me a chance to cure your poison,” Nan Feihuang still wanted to save him first, then ask for a reward. That way, he would feel more at ease using the immortal herbs.

“What? You can cure my poison? Kid, don’t joke with me. Even your mother couldn’t do it,” Du Guobo wouldn’t easily believe the words of a ten-year-old child.

“My mother indeed can’t, but my master can. Senior, if you promise to keep it secret, I’m willing to prove it to you right away,” Nan Feihuang knew that to get Du Guobo to believe him, he had to show some skill.

“Your master?” Du Guobo hadn’t expected Nan Feihuang to have a master. Clearly, his family had a Title Douluo as an elder, yet he still apprenticed under someone else. His master must not be an ordinary person.

“Yes, my master’s name is Zuo Ci. He’s like an immortal,” Nan Feihuang said. He inherited Zuo Ci’s Dunjia Heavenly Book, so calling him master was only natural.

“Actually, my mother isn’t good with poison. The discovery of your poison mainly came from my master. While spending time with Du Gu Yan recently, I used the medical skills my master taught me and found that she seemed to be poisoned, and the poison came from within her body. After telling my master, he speculated that you, Du Gu Yan’s grandfather, must be even more seriously poisoned.”

“Your master is indeed an extraordinary person. I wonder if I have the honor of meeting him?” Du Guobo mostly believed Nan Feihuang, because what he said was true. He’d never heard of Lan Xue being proficient in toxicology. He had suspected that Nan Feihuang had a powerful person backing him, otherwise, how could this little brat have discovered his poisoning?

“Senior, my master is always elusive. He’s gone on another of his travels. But before leaving, he passed on to me a method to cure your poison, Senior, please look at this method,” Nan Feihuang took out a method from the Dunjia Heavenly Book that could immunize against poison and gave it to Du Guobo.

Du Guobo curiously took it and read it several times, his eyes widening in shock. “It’s called the Daoist Golden Body Mental Cultivation Technique? I’ve never heard of it, but it’s truly a profound skill. If it’s mastered, it can indeed make one immune to all poisons.”

“However, this technique seems to need to be cultivated before being poisoned. Kid, the poison in my body has already spread throughout my body. Getting this technique now seems useless. On the other hand, Du Gu Yan, she is only lightly poisoned; perhaps she can use this to recover.”

Du Guobo felt regretful; such a divine skill was in front of him, yet it was useless to him.

Nan Feihuang, of course, wouldn’t stop there; he had a backup plan.
