Chapter 30 - Cure

"For your treatment, I have three methods, the first where you consume the two Ice and Fire Poison herbs and have a complete cure but this also comes at the cost where you lose all you poison abilities. The second where you consume the pills I give you and slowly direct the poison in your body to an external place, in your case we can use a spirit bone which you can get and direct all the poison into it. This option only has a 70% success rate. As for the third, this is something where I use one of my secret arts to completely absorb the poison into my Twelve Legged Spider Bone, doing this would be the same as the second option but this has a probability of 90 - 100% depending on how cooperative you are, but for your granddaughter I can say that the second option itself has a 100% probability so, in the end, it's your decision"

".....How sure are you about that secret art of yours??"

"I'm a 100% sure the only thing that would affect the chances of this method would be you if you resist anytime during the process then the chances of you losing all your spirit power would be greater"

"So you want me to just give you complete control of myself during the entire process….. Do you really expect me to believe that you won't do anything to me during the process"

"I really don't have anything to convince you, so you tell me what should I do to make you have some trust in me??"

After thinking for a while Dugu Bo spits out a green ball from his mouth, his actions were like a cat trying to spit out a hairball, the green gem had a snake-like pattern on it. He then threw the gem towards Tang San and said,

"EAT IT!!" (WN: Did anyone get that All Might reference)

Tang San caught it and looked at him as if asking for an explanation.

"That thing is my nadian which I cultivated after reaching the TItled Douluo realm. If I die then that will also follow me and explode but it would only do that if I die so you don't have to worry about much and it also has an effect of helping you absorb Spirit Power with your Spirit Power it should be of great use to you"

Letting out a sigh after and just rubbed the gem to wipe off any saliva on it, he knew about his nadian but he still had a few misgivings about swallowing something out from someone else's mouth but in the end, he just gave up and swallowed it.

"There are you happy now that I've swallowed it??"

"So how long will this secret art of yours take to heal me?? And tell me the process in detail"

"This process might take four to five months to completely cure you along with proper medication. In this process I will have to use my Twelve Spider Lances and pierce your body at different points where the poison has deeply rooted and absorb it if we're lucky then your poison wouldn't have developed a poison spirit and if it did then you will have to bear through a little pain"

"I don't think it has reached the point of developing a poison spirit as I've made sure of that. Even though you know about poison at a good level don't underestimate me, I am called the Poison Douluo for a reason, preventing the poison from developing a spirit is child's play to me"

"That's some good news then, I'll also give you the medicine to your granddaughter but for the recipe that would cost you"

"Are you going back on your word!"

When he said that he released some of his killing intent towards Tang San,

When Tang San felt that killing intent for some reason he felt a strange sensation from his Samsara Eye, he didn't know why but as soon as the feeling appeared it suddenly disappeared just as quick. But he left that for later and said,

"I didn't go back on my promise, I only said that I will treat your granddaughter but for the recipe of the medicine to your poison was not something I promised you, I'm pretty sure that for your future generation this would still be useful don't you think so??"

"Tch, Fine I'll pay you 100 million gold coins to sell the recipe to me but this is only if your recipe actually works if it doesn't then you will have to obey one of my conditions this is my condition"

"That's fine with me"

"Fine, I will begin the treatment tomorrow, just come here at the twelfth hour of the day and we'll start with the treatment, the energy from the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well will also help in the treatment. So it will be better to carry it out here itself"

"That's fine with me, as for the matter of selling the recipe we'll settle on that AFTER you cure my granddaughter"

"I'm fine with that, as for the three wishes you promised me, the first will be to allow me to use all the herbs in this place. I still haven't decided anything for the second and third wishes so I'll tell you after I decide my wish"

"Do as you wish, I'll come back tomorrow for the treatment so don't forget"

…

Soon Four months passed by,

Tang San and Dugu Bo's relationship had improved a great deal and he had almost cured Dugu Bo's Poison, he had actually underestimated the effects of staying at the Ice Fire Well, soon in another week or so the poison should be completely cured.

Right now they were taking a dip in the hot spring and were having some alcohol.

"Little Freak, I really have to accept that you are the most talented person I have ever met, alchemy, blacksmithing, poison, medicine. I guess you are also researching about those spirit tools too am I right??"

"What's up with you today?? Praising me so much today did something happen??"

"Haha, nothing much it's just an old mans rambling don't think about it too much. Say Tang San, those three wishes which I promised you did you decided anything for the second and third wishes??"

"In fact I have, my second wish is you become my friend as for the third I want you to take up the role of an advisor in Shrek Academy"

"....Are you serious??"

"Well what I actually want from you is that you become my friend but it looks like your hell bent on marrying your granddaughter to me for god knows what reason so instead I had to change my wish which would benefit me the most"

"Hahaha, so you finally agreed to marry my granddaughter??"

"....Well, she's not entirely bad, I know that she cares a lot for her friends and also has good potential to be nurtured and also…. But the only problem would be her attitude and whether she would accept me having other women apart from her"

"Other women??"
