Chapter 34: Pill
"Wait, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
At this moment, Lu Yun noticed that Dugu Bo was eager to escape from this place.
After experiencing this ordeal, he probably would never return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again.
Just now, Lu Yun used his consciousness to ask the system how to move the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to the Star Dou Auction House.
The system did provide him with a series of methods, including collecting treasures from the God-level store, such as storage rings from the immortal cultivation realm.
However, the cost of these things was something Lu Yun couldn't afford at the moment.
He couldn't completely take the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well away, so he had to leave them in the Sunset Forest.
In addition, Jiu You and Xuan Shuang were mainly responsible for his and the Star Dou Auction House's safety, so there were no extra personnel to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
And now, in front of him was a living person, Dugu Bo.
From now on, he could let Dugu Bo guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Of course, Lu Yun could occasionally give Dugu Bo some treasures that would benefit him for a lifetime.
"According to my investigation, it seems that you haven't joined any forces. How about joining the Star Dou Auction House?"
Lu Yun then directly expressed his idea of inviting Dugu Bo to join the Star Dou Auction House.
Although it was just an inquiry, the tone was unquestionable.
In other words, if Dugu Bo said no, he would probably be beaten again.
"No, I've always enjoyed a carefree life and will not join any forces..."
After hearing these words, Dugu Bo quickly shook his head like a rattle, rejecting Lu Yun's proposal.
Although he didn't know the true extent of the Star Dou Auction House's influence, even if it was a powerful force, he wouldn't want to join.
The stronger the force, the more restrictions he would face, and he didn't want to be bound by them.
"Hmm? You don't agree..."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's refusal, Lu Yun immediately came before him, squinting his eyes, and whispered softly.
On the side, Jiu You understood Lu Yun's intentions. He clenched his fist, ready to continue striking Dugu Bo.
"Don't hit me! I agree to join the Star Dou Auction House!" Dugu Bo pleaded while blocking his head with his hands, trying to avoid further attacks from Jiu You.
Dugu Bo realized that this situation was probably caused by his refusal to join the Star Dou Auction House. He had originally intended to resist to the end, but Jiu You seemed to use some means to make him unable to resist. The punches he received were excruciating, forcing him to surrender and join the Star Dou Auction House.
"Since that's the case, from now on, you are part of the Star Dou Auction House," Lu Yun said with a slight nod, signaling Jiu You to release Dugu Bo.
Though Dugu Bo had surrendered, he had no idea that joining the Star Dou Auction House would bring him unexpected opportunities. From this moment on, Dugu Bo's life trajectory had been changed.
However, unaware of Dugu Bo's inner thoughts, Lu Yun noticed his resentful gaze, as if he was a bullied wife. It was understandable since Dugu Bo had only succumbed to force. How could he willingly accept this situation? He dared not refute out of fear that he would be beaten again.
"Since you are newly joining the Star Dou Auction House, I can't just let you leave empty-handed!"
"Here, I'll give you this Poison Pill."
With a thought, Lu Yun delved into the god-level store and found a suitable pill for Dugu Bo. He spent a hundred auction points to purchase a Poison Pill from a low-level immortal cultivation realm. Though it was a mediocre pill, it carried terrifying effects. Even the lowest-level immortal cultivation realm far surpassed the Douluo Continent in various aspects.
This Poison Pill would be enough to eliminate the poison in Dugu Bo's body and enhance his toxic power, potentially boosting his Spirit power to a higher level.
As for why Lu Yun didn't buy a better Poison Pill, it was likely due to financial constraints.
A moment later, a plain green pill appeared in Lu Yun's hand, exuding no aura. Dugu Bo looked puzzled as Lu Yun directly tossed the pill into his mouth. Before he could react and spit it out, the pill had melted and rapidly spread throughout his body.
"What did you give me...?" Dugu Bo's expression turned to shock as he felt something enter his mouth, but it was too late to spit it out. The Poison Pill had already merged into his body, leaving him stunned.
Dugu Bo's gaze was filled with terror as he wondered if Lu Yun intended to kill him.
"Your life is not worth much. Sit cross-legged and absorb this power. I believe you will thank me later."
Lu Yun shook his head silently, not explaining the properties of the Poison Pill. He then instructed Dugu Bo to sit down and absorb the terrifying effects of the pill that had dispelled the poison within him and strengthened his toxic power.
The once deeply entrenched toxin in Dugu Bo's body became insignificant in the face of this power. It circulated through his body in a beneficial way, and the venomous gas emanating from him grew stronger.
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
At a certain moment, Dugu Bo broke through. Sounds of bottleneck shattering echoed from his body as his Spirit power rapidly rose, surpassing level 92 and reaching the peak of level 93.
He was just a step away from breaking through to level 94, a Title Douluo.
If outsiders witnessed this scene, they would be shocked, as improving one's Spirit power at such a high level was extremely difficult. Especially for a Title Douluo, advancing even one level could take several years.
Yet, Dugu Bo, who had only consumed an ordinary Poison Pill from the lower-level immortal cultivation realm, managed to break through nearly two levels in an instant, a sight worthy of astonishment.
The terrifying aspect of the Poison Pill from the immortal cultivation realm lay in its potency, even if it was a mediocre pill, its value was still considerable.
