After reaching an agreement with Yun Ming, Dugu Bo's tone softened as he asked him a question.
"I heard from Yan-yan that your name is Yun Ming, is that right?"
Yun Ming: "Yes."
Dugu Bo continued to ask.
"Yun kid, can you tell me now how you plan to force out the poison, and what your other detoxification methods are?"
Yun Ming spoke frankly.
"There's no rush for that. If conditions allow, I'll let you choose yourself!"
"My methods all require the use of medicinal ingredients! So, I need you to provide enough herbs for me to use!"
Dugu Bo was quite confident regarding medicinal herbs; his reserves were absolutely abundant. Dugu Bo said casually.
"That's easy to handle. I have a medicinal garden where all kinds of herbs are widely planted. Whatever you need, just go find it yourself."
Yun Ming nodded and said to Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, please wait a moment. I need to go give some instructions, and then we can head straight to your garden to select the herbs."
After speaking, Yun Ming walked out of the room and headed toward the room of Yang Wutian.
Finding Yang Wutian, Yun Ming informed him of Dugu Bo's arrival, the partnership they had reached, and his plan to help Dugu Bo detoxify.
After hearing what Yun Ming said, Yang Wutian felt a mix of joy and worry. He was happy that if Yun Ming succeeded, their Breaking Clan would gain the favor of a Titled Douluo; he was worried because Dugu Bo was notorious in the Soul Master World for being both righteous and evil.
But since Yun Ming said he was confident, Yang Wutian believed he could handle it.
Before leaving, Yun Ming said one last thing to Yang Wutian.
"Fifth Grand Uncle, when I return, I have a small gift for you!"
He then turned and left.
After leaving the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel, Yun Ming followed Dugu Bo to his medicinal garden located in the Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City.
The Sunset Forest was situated one hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City and was one of the major habitats for wild Soul Beasts in the Heaven Dou Empire. Although its area was not as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest, it was not lacking in high-level Soul Beasts.
After Dugu Bo and Yun Ming entered the Sunset Forest, under Dugu Bo's guidance, the two arrived at a small hill about five hundred meters high in the center of the forest.
The two climbed up the mountain path. Dugu Bo seemed to walk very slowly, yet every step he took covered more than ten meters, and the distance between each step was perfectly uniform. During the climb, it was as if he were ascending vertically.
Yun Ming's climbing style was similar to Dugu Bo's. Although limited by his cultivation, Yun Ming could not cover ten meters in a single step like Dugu Bo, the rhythm of his ascent was even more harmonious and natural than Dugu Bo's.
Unity of Heaven and Man! And a Unity of Heaven and Man at an extremely high level!!!
Seeing Yun Ming's current state, Dugu Bo was deeply shocked. Was this something a mere Soul Elder could comprehend?!! Dugu Bo felt that this kid, Yun Ming, was completely different from the conventional geniuses of the continent like Dugu Yan and her little boyfriend from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan!
Yun Ming, unaware of Dugu Bo's thoughts, continued on his way.
Soon, the two reached the top of the mountain. Looking at the high cliff in front of him, Dugu Bo glanced at Yun Ming and then leaped off directly; he wanted to see how Yun Ming would get down.
Seeing Dugu Bo jump, Yun Ming chose the fastest way as well and jumped down.
Dugu Bo jumped because he was a Titled Douluo with the ability to fly. Since Yun Ming had jumped down just like that, he was curious to see how Yun Ming would land.
Five hundred meters. Three hundred meters. One hundred meters.
Seeing that the distance was about right, a purple Soul Ring flashed under Yun Ming's feet. A Sky Support Mark appeared in his hand, and a bright white light shone from his palm as the Anti-air Power was activated.
Yun Ming turned the air, which originally had no resistance, into an invisible swamp with immense resistance. The further he fell, the slower his speed became, until he finally landed steadily on the ground.
Seeing this landing method, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. This ability to develop and utilize a Martial Soul was quite excellent!
After landing safely, Yun Ming saw the scene within the valley.
There was a hot spring in the valley. The spring was not large, but it was divided into two sections. In the oval-shaped pool, the colors of the spring water were surprisingly milky white and vermilion. Even more strangely, although they were in the same pool, they were clearly separated, never encroaching upon each other and always remaining on their own side.
Looking at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well just inches away, a flash of amazement crossed Yun Ming's eyes. Not to mention the various strange Immortal Herbs growing there, the beautiful and miraculous scenery of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself was worth seeing.
However, there was a downside here; the ice and fire energy attempting to invade Yun Ming's body was quite troublesome. To avoid being affected, Yun Ming had to use his delicate Soul Power control to resist the intrusion of the external energy.
After landing, Dugu Bo looked at the colorful flowers and plants below and spoke.
"All my medicinal herbs are planted here. There are all kinds of poisons and tonics. If anything is still missing, I will find it for you!"
Yun Ming looked at the Immortal Herbs and other potent medicines growing around him. Regardless of which plan he chose, the main ingredients were all there, and the other auxiliary ingredients were not a problem, so he began to explain his remaining plans to Dugu Bo.
"The main ingredients are all here. Now, let me tell you about the remaining two plans, and you can choose!"
Hearing Yun Ming mention other plans, Dugu Bo listened carefully.
"I already mentioned the first method: the Soul Bone Poison Loading Method."
"The second method is: the Poison Devouring Method!"
"The so-called Poison Devouring means letting your Martial Soul devour the virulent poison within your body."
Hearing Yun Ming suggest letting his Martial Soul devour poison, Dugu Bo was startled and exclaimed.
"What?!!
Isn't this just looking for death? A Martial Soul is inextricably linked to the origin of a Soul Master. If something goes wrong, it would be even more dangerous than his current situation, and by then, it would truly be beyond medical help!
Seeing Dugu Bo's horrified expression, Yun Ming added.
"Of course, it's not about swallowing it raw; this process requires the assistance of some secret medicines."
"Furthermore, while this method is indeed a bit dangerous, it is a Great Way of Poison. This is because this method can integrate the toxins swallowed by the spirit into the Poison Soul Master's own source poison. As long as you don't die, the more toxins you swallow, the stronger your source poison becomes."
"Not only can this solve the problem of the massive, uncontrollable toxins within you, senior, but it can also significantly boost your strength!"
The Poison Devouring Method of Yun Ming is essentially a path of cultivation for a Poison Soul Master, rather than a life-saving measure, but it just so happens to be perfectly suited for Dugu Bo's current situation.
This technique was created by a genius in the field of poisons approximately fifteen thousand years later. That person's spirit did not have a strong poison attribute, but he himself was a fanatical poison enthusiast. To strengthen his source poison, he devised a method to take all the poisons in the world and make them his own, which is this Poison Devouring Method.
Unfortunately, just as that genius perfected the Poison Devouring Method and achieved the rank of Super Douluo, beginning his life of dominating the world with poison, he encountered the Sea God Pavilion Master of that generation. That Pavilion Master felt he was too dangerous, so he slapped him to death with a few strikes, and thus this Poison Devouring Method became a collection of Shrek Academy.
After listening to Yun Ming explain the general situation of the Poison Devouring Method, Dugu Bo fell into deep thought. In terms of safety, the Soul Bone Poison Loading Method was certainly safer, but this Poison Devouring Method felt so perfectly suited for him, Dugu Bo! Dugu Bo was tempted! However, Yun Ming said there was one more method, and he wanted to hear it before making a decision. Dugu Bo said in a deep voice.
"What is the last method?"
Yun Ming revealed the final method.
"The third method is the Spirit Evolution Method!"
"In this herb garden of yours, I have discovered medicinal materials that can allow the Jade Phosphor Serpent to evolve. I have a way to make one of you, grandfather or granddaughter, evolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent spirit into a dragon species that is either non-toxic or even more toxic than the Jade Phosphor Serpent. Regardless of the final result, the toxins in your bodies will no longer be a threat!"
"If the evolved result is a poison dragon and it still has the same problems as the Jade Phosphor Serpent spirit, then using the first two methods will work just as well."
"Moreover, this method has two advantages: it is not very dangerous, and it can be completed very quickly."
Upon hearing that the third method could potentially wash away all the toxicity in his body, Dugu Bo immediately lost interest.
Aside from the first one, the latter two of Yun Ming's detoxification methods both had their uncertainties, but the benefits of the latter two were clearly higher than the first.
After Yun Ming finished his explanation, he observed the growth of the Immortal Herbs and organized which ones were growing by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, beginning to select owners for the herbs in his mind. Looking at the pleasing growth of the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and other Immortal Herbs, Yun Ming was very satisfied.
Dugu Bo, meanwhile, sat on the ground, starting to think about how he should choose.
After a period of internal struggle, Dugu Bo finally made his choice. He walked over to Yun Ming, who was observing a stalk of Black Jade Divine Bamboo, and said to him.
"Yun kid, I've decided. I choose the Poison Devouring Method. Tell me exactly what to do!"
Yun Ming glanced at Dugu Bo, not surprised; although the Poison Devouring Method was highly dangerous, it was truly full of temptation for a Poison Soul Master.
Yun Ming took a drop of Dugu Bo's blood, analyzed the toxins in his body, and compiled a prescription list for Dugu Bo, handing it to him. He then said.
"Take this secret medicine before each time you swallow poison. Keep the ratio of the spirit's poison intake to the amount of secret medicine at one-to-one, then swallow and refine it."
Dugu Bo took a look at the list, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch. The medicines written on this were just too abnormal!
Five grains of Bone-Eating Grass, two taels of Monkshood, a bottle of Man Faced Demon Spider venom, three mace of Kusnezoff Monkshood Root, and one tael of Rhizoma Typhonii. This was a recipe for a deadly poison!
Although he knew it was unlikely, Dugu Bo still wanted to ask.
"Yun kid, are you really sure this is a secret medicine?"
Yun Ming wore a smile and replied calmly.
"I am sure. Besides, I never said that a secret medicine couldn't be a poison!"
Dugu Bo: "."
In the end, Dugu Bo decided to give it a try. A dose of poison wouldn't take the life of the Poison Douluo. If it really worked, he could rest assured and let Dugu Yan take the unknown medicine from Yun Ming's third plan!
After preparing the secret medicine provided by Yun Ming, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and swallowed it all at once. Then, with a face turning pitch-black, Dugu Bo sat down on the ground and began to swallow the poison according to the ratio Yun Ming had previously mentioned.
"Ah!!!!"
"."
ps: The next chapter will involve taking medicine. Aside from the future cross-level spirit rings, this is the only time Yun Ming will have an explosive increase in power. What I have arranged for Yun Ming afterward is a reasonable and faster steady-growth plan.
Seeking monthly tickets, seeking recommendations.
