Approaching the Ultimate Flame, Dugu's Trust

"No, the Innate Treasure Land must be protected by top-grade poisonous herbs, surrounded by poisonous miasma. Even I can't enter. So what if you know where it is?"

Dugu Bo suddenly realized, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

In the blink of an eye, he went from elation to despair, a rollercoaster of emotions that left him in a terrible mood.

"Ah? Dugu senior, my Evil Fire seems to be immune to toxins."

Lin Xiao's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"You say your Evil Fire can resist poison? I'll have to test that!"

A glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. With a wave of his hand, a sweet, fishy green mist emanated from his sleeve. It was undoubtedly a potent poison! None other than the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, renowned throughout the continent.

However, compared to Dugu Yan's amateurish skills,

Dugu Bo's snake venom was far more ferocious.

The sweet, fishy poisonous mist blew towards Lin Xiao's face.

At the same time, Dugu Bo stared intently at Lin Xiao, coldly saying:

"You're so confident, so you must have faced Yan Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison before? Unfortunately, my cultivation is profound, and my Martial Soul is the emperor among Azure Phosphorous Snakes. This is not something Yan Yan's snake venom can compare to."

However, although Lin Xiao felt a little dizzy,

he showed no signs of poisoning.

Dugu Bo frowned, grabbed Lin Xiao's wrist, and used his Soul Power to investigate. He found that Lin Xiao's body was surprisingly healthy, and his internal temperature was frighteningly high. There seemed to be a surge of Evil Fire rampaging through his meridians. Even the Soul Power Dugu Bo used for the investigation was quickly devoured.

Dugu Bo said in surprise:

"You're really not afraid of poison? Is it because of your strange Evil Fire?"

"No, no! Having such an evil flame within you is far more dangerous than poison. Why are you still standing here unharmed?"

How strange! Was this kid made of fire? Lin Xiao, as the owner of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, naturally had extremely high fire resistance. Moreover, he had survived two Evil Fire outbursts, and he even used the second outburst to temper his body, making his physique far stronger than ordinary people! Although the strength of his meridians was only at the level of a high-level Great Soul Master,

his immunity to Evil Fire was unprecedented!

While Dugu Bo was surprised, Lin Xiao was also very astonished.

He actually felt a moment of dizziness? Could it be that his Evil Fire was only close to the Ultimate Fire, but hadn't reached the level of pure Ultimate Fire? Fortunately, the poison immunity still existed, but the dosage couldn't be too high.

Lin Xiao truthfully told Dugu Bo about his feelings, with a hint of disappointment in his words.

"I thought I could be immune to all toxins."

"From the looks of it, if you, Dugu senior, continuously use toxins beyond the scope of my Evil Fire's destruction and devouring, I would still be poisoned."

However, Dugu Bo, seeing his behavior, shouted: "You brat, you're really infuriating me!"

"You're acting like you're at a disadvantage after taking advantage. Even ordinary Titled Douluo, if they were defenseless and invaded by my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, would become weak and powerless. You're just a Soul Master of a dozen levels, and you're still not satisfied?"

"Do you have to defeat me to be satisfied?!"

Dugu Bo didn't know the word 'Versailles'! But that didn't stop him from feeling very unhappy! Lin Xiao gave a sheepish smile.

"Dugu senior, what are you saying? Even if you didn't use Soul Power, you could still kill this junior with a single punch, just with your Titled Douluo-level physique."

The weakest Titled Douluo was still a Titled Douluo!

Dugu Bo's mood was complicated at this time.

He should have been happy after verifying that Lin Xiao was indeed immune to toxins, but why did he feel a faint sense of melancholy and some depression in his heart?

No wonder.

Anyone whose signature skill was easily cracked would feel a sense of loss.

"Dugu senior, do you think I can enter the Innate Treasure Land?"

To make matters worse, Lin Xiao asked at this time.

Dugu Bo glared at Lin Xiao fiercely.

"In this world, unless a Titled Douluo is idle and catches you, kid, and uses Titled Douluo-level toxins to massively invade your body, who can poison you?"

"Those poisonous miasmas won't gather together and drill into you all at once, and as long as you don't court death by stuffing all the poisonous herbs into your stomach, you won't die even if you want to!"

Lin Xiao was relieved now.

"Senior Dugu, I think I understand now. Could it be that you know the location of an Innate Treasure Land? No wonder you've been safe and sound until now."

Dugu Bo was about to say something, but he stopped himself, and said with a sigh:

"This old man is only relying on his Titled Douluo-level strength, and with the help of the special magnetic field of that treasure land, to barely suppress the toxins in my body."

"It's a pity you were born too late. If you had come to me earlier, my son wouldn't have died young!"

Lin Xiao saw that Dugu Bo, who always gave people a cold and aloof feeling, now had a kind and gentle look in his eyes. It seemed that the world-renowned and feared Old Poison was just an ordinary old man at this moment.

Lin Xiao thought for a while and comforted him, "It's okay, Senior Dugu. You and Miss Yan Yan won't repeat the mistakes of your predecessors."

"The hidden pain of the Dugu family will also end here."

Although Dugu Bo was excited, he was still skeptical, and only said coldly, "Can you really help me and Yan Yan solve the flaws in our Martial Souls?"

"If you enter the treasure land and can't give me a satisfactory answer when you come out, this old man will test the limits of your immunity to poison!"

These words were not true, just a scare tactic.

After all, no matter what the result, Lin Xiao had brought hope to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. Besides, he was also Dugu Yan's friend, and his personality suited Dugu Bo's taste.

The reason for the threat was twofold: first, Dugu Bo was just such a person, tough-talking but soft-hearted; second, he wanted to put pressure on Lin Xiao in this way, so that he would do his best!

Lin Xiao smiled brightly.

"If I can't solve the flaws in your and Miss Yan Yan's Martial Souls, Senior Dugu, then I will naturally let you dispose of me."

After overcoming the fear in his heart, he faced Dugu Bo squarely.

Lin Xiao realized that this was just a rebellious old child.

In his aloofness, there was also a bit of loneliness.

Perhaps it was related to the early death of his relatives, and the fact that he had to worry about what would happen to Dugu Yan after his death, and worry about the flaws in Dugu Yan's Martial Soul, made it difficult not to be aloof.

As for Dugu Bo's threat, Lin Xiao didn't take it to heart at all.

No matter how fierce Dugu Bo was now, he would be grateful after he saved him and Dugu Yan. This could be seen from his support for Tang San in the original work.

If Lin Xiao was a little black-hearted, he could directly not give Dugu Bo the Immortal Herb and let him store the poison in his Soul Bone to make do with it, and Dugu Bo still wouldn't do anything to him, and would even be grateful.

Of course, Lin Xiao couldn't do such a thing.

"Lin Xiao, have you seen my grandfather? I heard the servants say he's back!"

At this moment, Dugu Yan's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
