The Black Tortoise Shell: "..."
If the Black Tortoise Shell had a spirit, it would definitely be complaining right now: "You've truly mastered the art of deduction."
Given the Black Tortoise Shell's current recovery level, directly deducing a solution for the Woeful Poison Body would certainly fail. It would require Gu Han's strength to reach at least the Dou Emperor level, or even Dou Ancestor level, before it might be possible to complete.
This was about deducing the variables of a certain condition while knowing most of the conditions and results, which was infinitely easier than directly deducing a solution for the Woeful Poison Body.
[Method One]: Master the Yin-Yang Dual Flames and a certain Dual Cultivation Method. When cultivation level is not lower than the Woeful Poison Body possessor by one major realm, perform Dual Cultivation while simultaneously controlling the Yin-Yang Dual Flames to execute the Poison Pill Method.
[Method Two]: Have the Woeful Poison Body possessor obtain the Netherworld Poison Fire themselves. While the Netherworld Poison Fire alone cannot solve the Woeful Poison Body problem, it can be used in conjunction with the Poison Pill Method to resolve the issue.
[Method Three]: You master the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, with cultivation level one major realm higher than the Woeful Poison Body possessor, and soul realm reaching Spirit Realm level. Use absolute strength to help the Woeful Poison Body possessor complete the Poison Pill Method.
"Hiss." Gu Han felt a surge of pleasant surprise in his heart.
This Black Tortoise Shell was truly not stingy at all. Based on Yao Lao's concept of the Poison Pill Method, it had deduced three methods that could be completed using a single Heavenly Flames.
The first method involved Yin-Yang Dual Flames plus Dual Cultivation, the second method required the Little Fairy Doctor to handle it herself with Netherworld Poison Fire, and the third method relied on his absolute strength to help the Little Fairy Doctor.
"I happen to know where to find the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, and I also have a Dual Cultivation Method that both men and women can practice. The difficulty is whether the Little Fairy Doctor is willing."
"The Bone Spirit Cold Flame is with Yao Lao. If Xiao Yan practices the Flame Mantra, there's no way this Heavenly Flames would be given to me."
"As for the Netherworld Poison Fire, once my strength improves, I can use the Black Tortoise Shell to deduce its location."
Gu Han realized that the Little Fairy Doctor's Woeful Poison Body was no longer a problem at all.
Before he mastered the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, the Little Fairy Doctor's Woeful Poison Body was still far from erupting. Whether to use the Dual Cultivation method to solve the problem would be entirely her decision.
If his growth speed was fast enough, he could also use the Black Tortoise Shell to find the Netherworld Poison Fire before the Little Fairy Doctor's Woeful Poison Body erupted.
As for the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, it was more complicated to handle than the first two methods and didn't need to be considered.
"However, are the Yin-Yang Dual Flames and Bone Spirit Cold Fire mentioned because I already have information about these two Strange Fires?" Gu Han pondered silently.
But he didn't dwell on it too much and resumed his cultivation, continuously operating the Ice Soul Mystic Classic to make his Dou Qi increasingly condensed.
By the next day at dusk, he left Green Mountain Town and went to a nearby mountain peak to practice the Purple Qi Double Pupils.
As his soul power improved, the effectiveness of this auxiliary pupil technique was also strengthening.
During his practice, even Ling Ying, an eight-star Dou Emperor of the dark attribute, couldn't hide from his sight.
"Hah!"
When the sun rose in the east, a layer of purple qi suddenly appeared in Gu Han's eyes, as if substantial light had attached to them.
The next moment, he made a soft sound of surprise and looked toward a large tree about ten zhang away: "Senior, since you've come, why not show yourself?"
A black shadow flashed across the ground and instantly appeared one zhang away from Gu Han - it was indeed Ling Ying.
He said with slight surprise: "Young friend, it's been many days since we last met. Your cultivation has improved so quickly - you've already reached the Dou Master level."
Gu Han: "..."
Has anyone ever said that Ling Ying isn't suited for acting?
That slight leakage of aura earlier was timed quite appropriately.
But he didn't consider how overly coincidental it seemed - life isn't some storybook.
"This is all thanks to the cultivation method Senior Ling Xiao gifted me," Gu Han said with a serious expression. "Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to progress this quickly."
This was indeed true. Without the Ice Soul Mystic Classic, he would have reached Dou Master two months ago, but he wouldn't have dared to so boldly consume two pills consecutively to boost his cultivation directly to six stars.
Moreover, the Ice Soul Mystic Classic offered many advantages - his future cultivation would progress much faster than with his previous cultivation method.
"I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart," Gu Han said, his eyes extremely determined.
"That's not enough," Ling Ying chuckled, taking out a scroll and tossing it to Gu Han.
"What's this?" Gu Han's face showed just the right amount of confusion.
"An Earth-Rank Low-Level ice attribute sword technique Dou Skill," Ling Ying smiled as he spoke. "The young lady heard about your recent reputation as the Snow Sword Young Master and thinks quite highly of you."
"Earth-Rank Low-Level Dou Skill?!" Gu Han's pupils suddenly contracted, his usually calm and indifferent face showing shock.
But what actually shocked him was the title "Snow Sword Young Master."
Why didn't they call him the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?
Who came up with this brilliant title?
Though inwardly grumbling, Gu Han maintained a serious expression: "Senior, this is too valuable."
"Since it's valuable, treasure it well." Ling Ying's figure transformed into a shadow and disappeared, leaving behind a final message: "Focus on getting stronger and quickly make your way to Central State."
"The young lady holds a special position in our clan. If you perform well, it will prove her judgment isn't poor and she won't be looked down upon by the clan elders."
Gu Han subtly frowned.
Clearly, it was Gu Xun'er investing in him.
But from Ling Ying's words, it sounded more like she favored him.
If this got back to the Ancient Clan, wouldn't the younger generation misunderstand?
"At that time, you'll have to get past my sword-bearing maiden first."
Gu Han opened the scroll, memorized the cultivation method with his soul, then stored it in the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.
Not rushing to practice it immediately, he activated his Sky Goose Six-Line Wings and returned to Green Mountain Town, landing directly in front of the Ten-Thousand Herb Hall.
This scene shocked the passing pedestrians and some mercenaries.
"Hiss, Dou Qi Wings? A Dou King expert?!"
"So young, how could he possibly be a Dou King?"
"I know! It's the Cold Sword Young Lord who masters flight fighting skills?"
Gu Han: ?
Wasn't it Snow Sword Young Master?
"Nonsense, it's Snow Sword Young Master. If they hear you calling him Cold Sword Young Lord again, I'm afraid a group of female cultivators will beat you up."
"Why should we call him Snow Sword Young Master just because they say so?"
"Would you like to debate this with Miss Ya Fei of the Miteer family?"
"Tch, how boring..."
Gu Han: "..."
Suddenly, the title Snow Sword Young Master didn't seem so bad.
Gu Han strode directly into the Ten-Thousand Herb Hall, the guards at the entrance not daring to stop him.
His gaze swept around and settled on the area where physicians treated patients, but he didn't see the person he was looking for there.
"When will Little Fairy Doctor arrive?" Gu Han asked the attendant who had approached him.
The Snow Sword Young Master came specifically to see Little Fairy Doctor?
The attendant's admiring gaze swept over Gu Han's handsome face without concealment as she bowed and replied: "Normally at this time, she would have already begun treating patients. For some reason, she's running late today."
Hearing this, Gu Han felt that Little Fairy Doctor might have already made the right choice.
With a single thought, he returned to the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm, leaving behind a phantom image in his original spot as he released his soul power to sense his surroundings.
The next moment, his brows furrowed as his consciousness returned to his main body. Raising his longsword, he infused it with Dou Qi and hurled it toward one side.
"Boom!"
The wall was pierced through, and the ice-encased longsword landed in a courtyard.
"What do you think you're doing to my maid?"
