"One or two generations is fine, but the accumulation of countless generations is not good, so at this time, there needs to be a place in the body to store toxins."
"Soul Bone is the best choice."
Dugu Bo suddenly understood, his old face brightened, and he clapped his hands and said:
"Yes, storing the toxins in the soul bone will prevent them from affecting the soul master. Why didn't I think of that?"
But soon, Dugu Bo thought of the symptomatic treatment method Mu Ci had mentioned and asked in confusion:
"Then why is it called a temporary solution?"
"Of course, it's because there's a limit to how much toxins accumulate in a soul bone. Even a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone can't last long if it only goes in and never comes out."
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Bo and explained.
"Moreover, once the toxins are stored, this soul bone is essentially useless and cannot be absorbed a second time."
Dugu Bo nodded in realization.
This symptomatic treatment can only provide temporary relief and is difficult to maintain in the long run.
Furthermore, soul bones are extremely rare; even those that have survived for a thousand years are a rare sight. Once an auction house holds an auction for them, it becomes a grand event, attracting participation from various factions.
If you buy one item and use it until it becomes useless, even the wealthiest person won't have enough.
"Then what is the fundamental solution?"
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Bo and said solemnly:
"Martial Soul mutation! As long as the Martial Soul is no longer the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, there will be no more toxin accumulation, and the toxins remaining in the body will be easier to deal with."
After saying that, Mu Ci immediately released her martial spirit.
The first and second soul skills lit up simultaneously. The combination of soul skills, the healing aura and the purification aura, under the impetus of the power of destiny, transformed into a golden ear of wheat radiating emerald light.
Mu Ci waved the golden wheat stalks at Dugu Bo.
The golden and green light shone directly on Dugu Bo's body.
The power of purification can neutralize the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent, while the power of healing can replenish the deficiency caused by the toxins. With the two working together, wisps of bluish-black mist rose from Dugu Bo's body.
The soul skill effect lasted for ten breaths on Dugu Bo before Mu Ci withdrew it.
"How do you feel, Senior Dugu?"
Dugu Bo, feeling the snake venom disappear from his body, said:
"Incredible, the amount of snake venom in my body has decreased by about one ten-thousandth."
Don't underestimate the small amount of toxin in Dugu Bo's body; it's the venom of the Azure Scale Serpent that has accumulated for nearly a hundred years. Once it erupts, the entire Heavenly Dou City will be turned into a dead zone.
"If Senior Dugu is not afraid of losing his century-old poison cultivation, I can also spend time helping you get rid of the poison in your body, but in the same way, this is only a temporary solution."
Dugu Bo nodded. What he said was true, but he could not choose this method.
The strength of a Title Douluo is his confidence in walking in the world. Once the toxins in his body are cleared, he will feel much more relaxed and can continue to release his soul skills.
However, its power will be greatly reduced, and it may not even be able to poison a Soul Douluo.
This body full of toxins is not only a death warrant, but also an amplifier of the Jade Serpent King's venom.
Dugu Bo stared at Mu Ci and said in a deep voice:
"I choose the second method. What do I need?"
Although he had never heard of the possibility of a mutated martial soul, since Mu Ci had mentioned it, there must be a way.
"Only rare herbs that have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth can be used to refine elixirs that can mutate martial spirits!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo fell silent.
How could someone as shrewd as him not know that his secret had been discovered?
Since Mu Ci could guess the drawbacks of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul from the information circulating in the Soul Master world.
It's not hard to guess that Dugu Bo survived for so many years by enduring the poison, which couldn't have been achieved solely through his cultivation level. If we rule that out, then he must possess either rare and precious materials or an unparalleled treasure land.
The three of them fell silent for a long time.
"Okay! But I need you to promise that you can do what you say, otherwise..."
Dugu Bo didn't continue speaking, but everyone knew what he meant.
"Senior Dugu, rest assured, I can definitely do what I say. After all, a win-win situation is always better than a lose-lose situation, isn't it?"
Mu Ci spoke sincerely to Dugu Bo.
“I’m going to pick up Yan Yan right now, and I want to see her problem completely resolved today.”
"it is good!"
Seeing that Mu Ci agreed, Dugu Bo and Mu Changsheng exchanged a glance, and then directly activated their soul power to break through the air and leave.
Looking in the direction Dugu Bo had left, Mu Changsheng, who had been silent all along, smiled and said to Mu Ci:
"Grandpa didn't ask how you knew about Dugu Bo, but aren't you afraid he won't agree or will hold a grudge later?"
Mu Ci shook his head and looked up at the sky, saying:
“He won’t refuse, because he wants to live! He wants Dugu Yan to live! He wants the Dugu family to live! As long as there is hope, he will not refuse.”
"As for harboring resentment? Once I fulfill my promise, I will be the savior of the Dugu family. At that time, how could there be any resentment?"
Chapter 43 Ice and Fire Eyes
Sunset Forest.
Mu Changsheng and Dugu Bo each carried a person as they flew rapidly through the sky.
The two titled Douluo-level powerhouses unabashedly unleashed their auras.
The terrifying fluctuations startled the soul beasts, causing them to scatter in all directions, unable to escape.
Although Sunset Forest is one of the top gathering places for large soul beasts in the Tiandou region, there has never been a rumor of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Even spirit beasts that are over 50,000 years old are rare, and most of them have their own fixed territory and rarely go out.
That's why they could fly so openly and without any taboos.
After all, with two top-tier control-type titled Douluo, one with hard control and the other with soft control, they could remain unharmed even when faced with a beast tide.
After flying for about a hundred kilometers, a valley shrouded in colorful mist appeared before them.
As the mist swirled, animal bones could be seen scattered all over the ground below the mountain wall. The thick, rotten smell, combined with the toxins in the mist itself, would likely kill an ordinary person with just one breath.
"This is it. The colorful mist here is a poison array I've set up over the years. Anyone below the Soul Saint level will die inside in no time. It's very effective in defending against Soul Masters and Soul Beasts that accidentally wander in."
“We’ll go in directly from the sky; there’s no poisonous fog there.”
Dugu Bo put his arm around Dugu Yan and spoke to the two people beside him.
Mu Changsheng nodded and followed Dugu Bo into the valley.
As soon as you enter the valley, you are greeted by an extremely rich and dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Mu Changsheng and Mu Ci both felt a significant increase in the speed of their soul power circulation, which was an improvement based on the Medicine King's Secret Technique.
Mu Changsheng estimated in his mind that if he could continue to cultivate here, he could break through to level 92 within a year.
Thinking of this, his eyes gleamed, but he also marveled at Dugu Bo's good fortune.
Gradually delving deeper.
A strange pool of water, shimmering with red and blue light, came into view.
The two pools each occupy half of the space, repelling each other while constantly merging, emitting a faint mist.
Seeing this extraordinary sight before him, Mu Ci couldn't help but feel a little breathless.
Eyes of ice and fire.
Without the immortal herbs here to replenish their talents, most of the Shrek Seven Devils would not have been able to inherit their godhood, even with Tang San's great help after he became a god.
This place is also a peerless treasure land that has spanned tens of thousands of years in the Douluo Continent.
"Young friend, how is this place? Are there any medicinal herbs suitable for Yanyan?"
Now, Dugu Bo has also placed his bets on Mu Ci, his tone tinged with hope.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan also turned her beautiful eyes to Mu Ci, and her heart began to beat faster.
She had heard her grandfather say that Mu Ci could mutate her martial soul, transforming it from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent into other martial souls, thus no longer suffering from snake venom.
As for the disappearance of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, is there any regret?
Dugu Yan said there was none, not even mentioning the changes in her appearance caused by the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake.
In terms of the characteristics of the martial soul alone, it will occasionally bring a trace of the fishy smell of snake venom, which is especially serious after the soul skill is released.
These problems have caused her a lot of trouble at the college. Her classmates look at her with fear in their eyes. To this day, she only has Ye Lingling as her best friend and confidante.
Mu Ci glanced around, a blue soul light emanating from his body, and the phantom of the Abundant Jianmu tree appeared behind him.
Influenced by the environment here, the Jianmu tree is gently swaying its branches, with shimmering blue-gold light falling down, as if it is happy about the colorfulness of this place.
After all, the rich diversity of species is also part of the concept of abundance.
Under Mu Ci's control, a ring of azure-gold light burst forth from Jianmu, sweeping across the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines in the valley like ripples.
Soon, countless pieces of information began to be clearly arranged in my mind.
Fiery apricot blossoms, eight-pointed ice grass, cockscomb phoenix sunflower, earthworm golden melon, black jade divine bamboo...
Both those appearing in the original work and those not appearing in it share their various effects under the rule of the Abundant Jianmu.
Even the so-called king of immortal products, the Acacia Heartbreak Red, is no exception.
"Of course, no problem. With all the rare and precious herbs here, it will be a piece of cake for Miss Dugu to evolve her martial soul."
Mu Ci opened her eyes and pointed to a dark gold vine in the distance.
The dark gold vines twisted and turned, with several fist-sized golden fruits hanging on them, reflecting a faint golden halo under the light.
The fruit has faintly visible wavy undulations, like layers of dragon scales, but they are not clearly visible.
"Take this immortal herb for example. The fruit hanging on it is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which has extremely pure true dragon bloodline. After a soul master consumes it, his martial soul can evolve into a true dragon."
