Seeing Dugu Bo quickly adjust his mentality, Quan Yi also felt that Dugu Bo was a tricky opponent.
This book is first published on the entire network by ๐ฅ ๐จ ๐ ๐ ๐ . ๐ ๐ ๐
Clearly, the other party was wary of his right arm's soul bone skill, Hell of Fury.
However, it was precisely because of this soul skill that Dugu Bo was forced to remain calm.
Seeing that Dugu Bo was finally willing to listen to him, Quan Yi stated his purpose.
"Senior Dugu, I only have one purpose for coming here today, and that is to jointly manage this treasure land with you."
"Jointly manage?"
Dugu Bo seemed to have heard a fantasy, and a ridiculous emotion flashed through his mind.
Quan Yi, however, went on to explain his plan.
He continued, "From what I understand, Senior Dugu values this patch of medicinal herbs around the spring the most. But I value this spring behind me even more.
Therefore, in essence, our interests do not conflict. So, rather than conflict, cooperative management is the best solution for us.
My suggestion is that you manage the medicinal herbs, and I will use the spring water.
What do you think? This proposal is beneficial to both of us."
Even now, Quan Yi could feel the extremely hot heaven and earth essence rapidly transforming into cultivation.
Normally, the cultivation that would only increase after a whole day of practice was now rising rapidly like a rocket at this moment.
He was determined to obtain such a treasure land.
Therefore, Quan Yi proposed a win-win cooperation plan.
However, Dugu Bo was not interested in this. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, mutually beneficial? I think it's only beneficial to you.
This treasure land is clearly my territory. You, the intruder, want to occupy it without doing anything. You're really calculating."
Dugu Bo's eyes became increasingly cold, and his patience was reaching its limit.
Quan Yi's proposal seemed fair, but it was a kind of robber's agreement.
I'm living well at home, and you, an intruder, want to move into my house and take things for free. No one can tolerate that, let alone a proud Titled Douluo.
Facing this situation, Quan Yi was naturally prepared.
He looked at Dugu Bo's emerald green hair and pupils, his thin face, and the imposing manner that had not changed much compared to three or four years ago.
He was thoughtful.
He replied, "Senior is right, so I brought a condition that Senior will be interested in."
"What condition?"
Quan Yi said, "If I'm not mistaken, Senior is poisoned."
Quan Yi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Dugu Bo's most sensitive spot.
Ever since Quan Yi escaped, Dugu Bo had been vaguely worried about his secret being exposed.
Now, Quan Yi pointed this out, making Dugu Bo somewhat dejected.
All his weaknesses were grasped by Quan Yi, but he had no way to deal with Quan Yi.
However, even though the situation was unfavorable, Dugu Bo's expression remained the same, and he replied in a calm tone, "When it comes to using poison, I am the best in the world. Poisoned? Do you know who you're saying that to?"
When he said this, there was only absolute confidence in Dugu Bo's eyes.
Dugu Bo, who was known for his poison and dominated the world with it, was indeed convincing when he said this.
If he hadn't done enough homework, Quan Yi would have almost been deceived by Dugu Bo.
Quan Yi's mouth curled into a confident arc, and he calmly gave Dugu Bo the final blow.
He said, "When it comes to using poison, Senior is indeed the best in the world. It's hard to imagine who could poison Senior.
Even though it's most difficult for Titled Douluos to break through levels, Dugu Bo had countless heavenly treasures to assist him in his cultivation.
Therefore, Quan Yi conservatively estimated that Dugu Bo could break through at least two levels in four years.
However, now he discovered that Dugu Bo's strength had not changed significantly.
This made Quan Yi even more certain of his inner guess.
Dugu Bo fell silent.
In fact, from the moment he saw Quan Yi reveal his true form, he understood that Quan Yi must have absolute confidence to do so.
Quan Yi's few words completely turned the situation in Quan Yi's favor.
And Dugu Bo had no way to change it.
If he wanted to deal with Quan Yi, he didn't have the certainty of killing him with one blow.
Even if he gave up and wanted to destroy this place, what would be destroyed first was the medicinal herb garden he cherished.
And the spring water that Quan Yi valued would continuously gush out of the ground.
"Speak, what are your conditions?"
Dugu Bo's tightly closed mouth reopened.
This also represented that Dugu Bo began to accept Quan Yi's proposal.
Seeing Dugu Bo's helplessness and compromise, Quan Yi couldn't be happy.
Threats and coercion were not his intention.
Out of compensation, he softened his tone and said, "I said before that I came with sincerity. Therefore, my condition is to provide Senior with ideas and clues to solve the poison."
Dugu Bo laughingly replied, "Do you know how long I've been researching this problem?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the medicinal herb garden beside him and said, "This place has gathered the most precious medicinal materials in the world.
Any one of them is priceless outside, but even so, I have no way to deal with my own poison.
You, a young brat, want to talk to me about conditions with empty words. Aren't you going too far?"
The conceited Dugu Bo had no interest in the ideas and clues that Quan Yi offered.
Because he didn't believe that Quan Yi could come up with any meaningful solutions.
This caused Dugu Bo's suppressed anger to reach the point of eruption again.
Looking at Dugu Bo's angry expression, the pressure Quan Yi was under became even greater.
However, Quan Yi still maintained a calm demeanor on the surface and calmly replied, "Indeed, I have no understanding of poison techniques and medical skills, but as the saying goes, there's always another way. I can provide...
According to my deduction, if Senior researches according to the methods and clues I provide, there is more than a 50% chance that you can solve the poison."
Seeing Quan Yi's firm expression, a glimmer of hope couldn't help but rise in Dugu Bo's heart.
If Quan Yi could really come up with an effective solution, then not only him, but also his granddaughter could be freed from the curse of poison.
For his granddaughter's sake, Dugu Bo decided to believe Quan Yi once.
Moreover, if Quan Yi's method didn't work, he could immediately turn hostile.
Overall, this was not too bad of a condition for him.
Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Alright, I agree to your conditions.
However, let's make things clear first. If I find out that you're lying to me, I won't let you off easily."
Seeing Dugu Bo agree, Quan Yi's heart was filled with joy, and he immediately replied, "Okay, Senior, rest assured, the conditions I propose will not disappoint you.
However, to be on the safe side, let's swear on our martial souls first."
Seeing the meticulous Quan Yi, Dugu Bo helplessly raised his right hand and swore on his martial soul.
The two ended their oath, which also represented the successful conclusion of this negotiation.
