"Since you've broken through, that indicates the time has come."
Chen Junting's words aroused Dugu Xin's confusion.
"Time? What time?"
Chen Junting stated frankly, "Of course, it's the time to completely resolve the poison contained in your body, as well as help your martial soul transform."
The Eight Spider Lances soul bone could indeed help Dugu Xin resolve the massive amounts of poison in his body, but it couldn't help his descendants. As long as his descendants continued to cultivate, they would inevitably repeat the same mistakes.
Unless there was another external soul bone similar to the Eight Spider Lances.
However, how difficult was it to encounter such a thing?
"Completely resolve the poison!"
Dugu Xin's pupils revealed immense shock.
He clearly understood the weight of these words.
"Correct, completely resolve it."
Chen Junting nodded. Under the curious gazes of the others, he said, "Moreover, the method I'm bringing out can be passed down through generations. And this is the so-called Poison Pill Method."
"The Poison Pill Method involves gathering all the accumulated toxins in the body and finally condensing them into a Poison Pill within the body. Once the Poison Pill is formed, the extreme poison in your body can be stored within it, and will continuously advance along with your extreme poison and cultivation, ensuring your life is worry-free."
This Poison Pill...
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into thought. Ning Tian even said, "This condensation of the Poison Pill sounds somewhat similar to condensing a soul core?"
"Similar but not the same."
Chen Junting explained the difference between the two, "The Soul Core Method is the condensation of soul power, but the Poison Pill is just toxins."
"And to cultivate the Poison Pill, three conditions are needed. First, someone must suppress the poison in your body when you condense the Poison Pill. Second, a poison-attribute soul bone over fifty thousand years is required. Third, the soul bone must be melted."
After hearing Chen Junting's words, the excitement in Dugu Xin's eyes also became somewhat troubled. Even the others listening drew in a cold breath in their hearts because of these three conditions.
These conditions were truly demanding!
A poison-attribute soul bone over fifty thousand years.
Just this second condition alone was enough to make people shrink back.
The scarcity of soul bones was well-known, not to mention those over fifty thousand years. Some Titled Douluos didn't even have a single soul bone. If one burst out while hunting soul beasts, it could be considered extremely fortunate. And this required a poison-attribute soul bone!
Undoubtedly, this was adding difficulty upon difficulty.
Ning Tian pondered for a moment, "If in the future someone from the Dugu family has the talent to break through to Titled Douluo, no, Soul Douluo, then the sect will find a way to gather a soul bone that meets the conditions. As for Xin... I will have the sect take out a fifty-thousand-year soul bone."
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a great foundation and vast wealth, arguably the richest in the world.
If they wanted to, although a poison-attribute soul bone over fifty thousand years would take considerable effort, they should still be able to obtain one.
Dugu Xin was immediately immensely grateful, but he still waved his hand, "I'm grateful for the sect's kindness, but if my Dugu family's descendants don't have the talent for Titled Douluo, then don't trouble the sect."
After all, it wasn't like if one generation didn't have the Poison Pill, the descendants would definitely die—they would just become short-lived again. If four or five generations didn't work out, then seven or eight generations, there would always be one generation with Titled Douluo talent when the family was on the verge of extinction.
Believe in future generations!
Just one poison-attribute soul bone over fifty thousand years was still manageable, there was a way, but the remaining two conditions were also not easy to fulfill.
Of course, they were also somewhat lucky.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a sacred land for suppressing extreme poison. As long as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't lose the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then this first condition was the easiest to satisfy.
However, this third condition...
Compared to it, the first two were obviously much easier. Because the first two had traces to follow, but melting a soul bone... throughout history, searching through all records, there had never been any hearing or seeing of such a thing.
"Melting a soul bone, can this be done?"
Wu Feng's question made Chen Junting fall silent.
Until a full minute passed, "It should be possible."
Should?
So this was just his speculation. If the soul bone truly couldn't be melted, wouldn't this Poison Pill Method be ineffective?
For a moment, Dugu Xin's face also darkened.
Noticing the change in everyone's expressions, Chen Junting couldn't help but sigh, "Hey—I only used the word 'should' out of rigor. You should have some confidence in me. Moreover, if it truly can't be melted, I can think of alternative methods in the future. As for Xin, I've already prepared it for him."
With a flick of his wrist, a ball of light drifted out.
In the next second, it flew straight toward Dugu Xin.
Dugu Xin reached out and caught the light ball in his hand.
Instantly, a strange feeling permeated his entire body.
Gu Tianchen glanced at it, "Old Chen, isn't this the mutated Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent inner core you obtained in the Slaughter City?"
"Correct."
Chen Junting nodded and said, "This Poison Pill Method was what I thought of from this mutated Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent inner core."
Actually, this statement was false.
The real situation was that he discovered inner cores could also be used.
Because the Douluo Plane had no so-called magic cores, they necessarily had to find a substitute, and soul bones were just right. However, they were difficult to shape and difficult to store extreme poison, so they needed to be changed.
But if it was an inner core, it perfectly solved this problem.
As for whether an item similar to Bodhi Saliva liquefaction was needed...
No, completely unnecessary.
Just extreme poison, it was far from the level of the Calamity Poison Body.
At this moment, Chen Junting looked at the inner core in Dugu Xin's hand and said, "The Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent is the head of a snake species, not a soul beast, but an ancient exotic beast. After mutation, it is no longer extreme yang, but extreme yin. Although it has fire attributes, poison attributes are its true weapon, which matches your martial soul perfectly."
"Moreover, according to ancient records, back then Ma Hongjun of the Shrek Seven Devils also obtained a Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent inner core, which not only gave him a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, but also caused his martial soul to evolve. From the Fire Phoenix at that time, it became the Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix, and the heads would continuously increase with cultivation."
"If you use the Poison Pill Method to first absorb the soul power inside, then use it as a carrier to transform it into your own Poison Pill. This way, your martial soul should also be able to evolve. If combined with that Snow Swan Kiss of yours... presumably an unprecedented extreme poison attribute soul master will be born."
Dugu Xin glanced at the mutated Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent inner core in his hand, then subconsciously took out the Snow Swan Kiss he carried with him. In an instant, even a tough man couldn't help but redden his eyes.
He stared blankly at Chen Junting, his lips moving slightly.
"Junting, great kindness needs no thanks!"
"We're all brothers, why say such things."
Chen Junting's expression was serious, then he continued, "This way, after I absorb my eighth soul ring and raise my entire condition to the best state, I'll take you to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. While helping you condense your Poison Pill, I'll also thoroughly develop this method."
"Alright!"
Dugu Xin's eyes showed determination as he nodded heavily.
