"Yanyan, how are you feeling?" Qian Renyue asked nervously as Dugu Yan awakened from cultivation.
"I feel much lighter. Most of the toxins in my body have condensed into a Poison Pill, so my soul power has also risen by nearly 2 levels. I'm already at level 40. Once I obtain another soul ring, I'll be able to step into the Soul Ancestor realm. It's just a pity that I won't be able to join Tianheng and the others in the soul battle competition."Dugu Yan excitedly kissed Qian Renyue, happily telling her current soul power level, but also feeling regret that she couldn't fight side-by-side with her companions.
"Why don't you consider completely resolving the toxins in your body first, and then obtaining your soul ring? You might even be able to try absorbing a ten-thousand-year fourth ring." Qian Renyue suggested.
"A ten-thousand-year fourth ring? I've never heard of such a thing. How could I possibly?" Dugu Yan waved her hand helplessly.
"How is it impossible? Look at me."As she spoke, Qian Renyue released her true martial soul appearance. Four ten-thousand-year soul rings; even though they were black, they were still dazzling.
"Heavens, my darling—what level are you now? Four ten-thousand-year soul rings… you're not cultivating that sword martial soul as your main one, right?"
"Of course not. Look, my Dragon Chant Divine Sword doesn't have any soul rings added."After speaking, Qian Renyue summoned the Dragon Chant Divine Sword.
"It's true… then how did you do it?"Dugu Yan asked excitedly. Four ten-thousand-year soul rings—too cool.
"Because of special reasons. The method isn't replicable. But Rongrong's third soul ring is ten-thousand-year level as well, so a soul ring's age isn't absolutely fixed. It can change depending on a soul master's talent and capabilities. You've already condensed a Poison Pill—your poisoning ability is far superior to before. When absorbing a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, the only thing you'd need to worry about is spiritual shock. That's something your grandpa might be able to help you resolve."
"Alright then. Thank you. Our family's Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul's toxin is something even Grandpa can't resolve. My parents died because of it. Grandpa nearly went crazy back then. If I weren't still a child at the time, he probably wouldn't still be alive today."Thinking of her grandfather, Dugu Yan's heart softened.
"Yanyan, I'm sorry. We put all our effort into researching a way to resolve the toxins in both your grandfather's and your bodies because… I had selfish motives. Last time, in order to save me, Rongrong's martial soul shattered and still hasn't recovered. Teacher said that Rongrong might never be able to cultivate again. I know your grandfather's medicinal shop has an immortal herb that could possibly save Rongrong. So that's why I wanted to help cure your poison. I'm sorry, Yanyan. I wasn't pure—I had my own motives."Qian Renyue lowered her head apologetically.
"Pfft—silly girl! How did you manage to become Saintess in a place like Spirit Hall acting like this? No wonder a Title Douluo-level powerhouse has to protect you. His Holiness the Pope must be worried someone will scam you away.Even if you have a motive, you still saved me and Grandpa, didn't you? If you really were selfish, you could've used Spirit Hall's authority to seize the medicinal shop, but you didn't. You still treated me as a friend, right?Besides, Rongrong is my friend too. To save her, forget an immortal herb—even if you needed a soul bone, I'd try to get it."Dugu Yan, relying on her height advantage, pulled Qian Renyue into her arms, cheek rubbing cheek, intimately cuddling.
"Thank you, Yanyan."
"What are you thanking me for? Come on, I'll take you to Grandpa's medicinal shop. He's cultivating there."After speaking, Dugu Yan dragged Qian Renyue away—didn't even inform Yu Tianheng. Chrysanthemum Douluo, acting as the third wheel, could only follow helplessly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo recalled how he and the Pope spent countless sleepless days studying how to detoxify. They found many methods, but all would cause irreversible soul power loss. Unexpectedly, the young Saintess, just hearing their dilemma, immediately thought of two methods—condensing toxins into a soul bone or forming a Poison Pill.
Eventually, he and the Pope decided that the Poison Pill method was better. And indeed, the result was exactly as they predicted—Dugu Yan's soul power didn't decrease but increased.
If Qian Renyue knew what Chrysanthemum Douluo was thinking, she would tell him the idea didn't come from herself. The soul bone method came from the original work, while the Poison Pill method was from another book she liked, where a female character with a Calamity Poison Body solved her toxin by forming a Poison Pill.Thinking from another angle, the nature was similar—condensing internal toxins and turning them into one's own strength, resolving the hidden danger.

"The Poison Pill method? Yanyan, you really resolved the toxins in your body using this method?"Dugu Bo asked excitedly.
"Yes, Grandpa. I'm already at level 40. After condensing the Poison Pill, my body feels much lighter, and my soul power increased by two levels. Once all the toxins condense, my soul power will definitely increase again."
"Good! Good! From now on, I'll finally have the face to meet your father."Tears shimmered in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Chrysanthemum Pass, thank you. Whatever you want, speak. I must repay this life-saving grace."Dugu Bo cupped his fists toward Yue Guan.
"No need. It was the Saintess' order. What we want is to exchange for your medicinal shop. Old poison, are you giving it or not?"Yue Guan crossed his arms.
Hearing they wanted his medicinal shop, Dugu Bo fell silent, hesitating.
Qian Renyue knew the shop contained many rare items. Taking everything, Dugu Bo definitely wouldn't agree, so she quickly said:"Senior, could we exchange only for a few herbs?"
"Grandpa! It's just a medicinal shop. Can it compare to your life? Yue-sister, I'll decide—half of the shop is yours. Take whatever you want. Hurry and find the herb that can save Rongrong. I'll teach Grandpa how to condense the Poison Pill."
Qian Renyue stared blankly at Dugu Bo.
"What are you looking at? My granddaughter already decided. Half is yours! Go. My heart hurts just thinking about it,"Dugu Bo grumbled, waving her away.
Qian Renyue politely thanked him, then headed with Yue Guan toward the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"This is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!"Yue Guan rushed to a chrysanthemum, shouting excitedly,"Heavens, I actually get to see the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in my lifetime!"
"Saintess…"Yue Guan suddenly looked at Qian Renyue pitifully.
"Ahem—Elder Chrysanthemum, why are you looking at me? Hurry and find a plant for your good bro."
"Ah? Oh, oh—yes! Thank you, Saintess."Yue Guan disappeared instantly. This place was his paradise.
"Wait—Elder Chrysanthemum, help me find the Gorgeous Silk Tulip first, I don't recognize it!"Qian Renyue stretched her hand toward Yue Guan, exasperated.
A simple ancient book slowly floated before her. Qian Renyue caught it. Opening it, she found it recorded rare herbs.The first page was Lovesick Heartbroken Red; the second was Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.Qian Renyue read with great interest.
