Seeing Dugu Bo quickly adjust his mentality, Quan Yi also felt troubled by Dugu Bo.
Clearly, the other party was wary of his right arm Soul Bone Skill, Fury of Hell.
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 have only 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 proposal.
He continued, "From what I understand, Senior Dugu values this Medicine Garden around the Spring Water the most. But I value this Spring Water behind me 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 Medicine Garden, 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 spiritual energy rapidly transforming into cultivation progress.
Normally, the cultivation progress that would take a whole day to achieve was now rising rapidly like a rocket.
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, "Beneficial to both sides? I think it's only beneficial to you.
This treasure land is clearly my territory. You, an 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 comfortably at home, and you, an intruder, want to move into my house and freeload off my things. No one could tolerate that, let alone a proud Titled Douluo.
Faced with this situation, Quan Yi was naturally prepared.
He glanced at Dugu Bo's Emerald Green hair and pupils, his thin face, and the undiminished power compared to three or four years ago.
He pondered inwardly.
He replied, "What Senior says makes sense. Therefore, I have brought a condition that Senior will be interested in."
"What condition?"
Quan Yi said, "If I'm not mistaken, Senior's body 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 feel somewhat dejected.
All his weaknesses were known to Quan Yi, but he could do nothing about Quan Yi.
However, even though the situation was unfavorable, Dugu Bo's expression remained normal, and he replied calmly, "When it comes to poison, I am the best in the world. Poisoned? Do you know who you're saying that to?"
When he said this, Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with absolute confidence.
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 his homework, Quan Yi would have almost been deceived by Dugu Bo.
The corners of Quan Yi's mouth curled into a confident arc, and he calmly delivered the final blow to Dugu Bo.
He said, "When it comes to poison, Senior is indeed the best in the world. It's hard to imagine anyone being able to poison Senior.
However, if the one who poisoned you was your own Martial Soul, can Senior still solve it? The best poison in the world must be very difficult to cure. Otherwise, after so many years, Senior's cultivation wouldn't be stagnant like this."
In Quan Yi's expectation, Dugu Bo's strength must be stronger than it was four years ago.
Even though it was most difficult to break through the Titled Douluo level, Dugu Bo had countless natural treasures to assist him in his cultivation.
Therefore, Quan Yi conservatively estimated that Dugu Bo could break through at least two levels within four years.
However, now he discovered that Dugu Bo's strength had not changed significantly.
This made Quan Yi even more convinced 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 his favor.
And Dugu Bo had no way to counter.
If he wanted to deal with Quan Yi, he didn't have the confidence to kill him with one blow.
Even if he went all out and wanted to destroy this place, the first thing to be destroyed would be his cherished Medicine Garden.
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 meant that Dugu Bo began to accept Quan Yi's proposal.
Seeing Dugu Bo's helplessness and compromise, Quan Yi couldn't feel happy.
Threats and coercion were not his intention.
Out of a sense of compensation, he softened his tone and said, "I said before that I came with sincerity this time. Therefore, my condition is to provide you with ideas and clues to solve the poison."
Dugu Bo replied amusingly, "Do you know how long I have been researching to solve this problem?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the Medicine Garden beside him and said, "Here, I have collected 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 Youngster, want to talk about conditions with me based on empty words. Isn't that too much?"
The conceited Dugu Bo had no interest in the ideas and clues proposed by Quan Yi.
Because he didn't believe that Quan Yi could come up with any meaningful solutions.
This caused the anger that Dugu Bo was trying to suppress 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 replied steadily, "Indeed, I have no insights into poison techniques and medical skills, but as the saying goes, there is always another way. I can provide you with my deductions. If you research 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 get rid of 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 at that time, 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 it clear, if I find out that you are lying to me, I will not let you off easily."
Seeing Dugu Bo agree, a joyful emotion surged into Quan Yi's heart, and he immediately replied, "Okay, don't worry, senior, 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 the oath, which also meant that the negotiation had come to a successful conclusion.
