"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison isn't a defect, but rather the Martial Soul is too strong?"
Dugu Bo looked surprised.
This was the first time he'd heard such a statement!
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it sounded pleasing to the ear.
"Among all poisonous Martial Souls in the world, the Azure Phosphorous Snake can rank among the top three, and its snake venom is the most potent on the continent. When cultivated to a profound level, it can even poison the Martial Soul itself."
"Its contagiousness and destructiveness are unparalleled."
"Most terrifyingly, this Martial Soul's poison is so strong that it can actually backfire on its host. Its toxicity is domineering, truly a rare sight in the world."
"Where, where." Dugu Bo was originally enjoying himself, even feigning modesty, but suddenly thought of something, and his expression immediately darkened.
"However, my poison was actually rendered ineffective by this Lin Xiao brat!"
Ye Qingxian countered, "While the Azure Phosphorous Snake's poison is indeed the most potent on the continent, isn't Lin Xiao's Evil Fire also exceptionally bizarre? You must know that he has Innate Full Soul Power. Any Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, even if it appears to be an extremely ordinary Blue Silver Grass, must be hiding an extraordinary bloodline."
"Moreover, Lin Xiao's Evil Fire is constantly evolving. Poison Douluo, if you use Lin Xiao as an example, could you possibly find a second him in the world?"
Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao recalled past events in his heart.
Speaking of the Evil Fire Phoenix, I wonder how Ma Hongjun is doing now.
Although their paths differed and they couldn't work together, Lin Xiao never looked down on Ma Hongjun's choice in his heart. He wasn't qualified to despise others, only striving to do his best.
Beside him, Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
"If it were merely a matter of resolving the Martial Soul's poison from invading the body, I wouldn't need to use Immortal Herbs at all. These Thousand-Year Spirit Herbs and Ten Thousand-Year Spirit Herbs would be enough to nourish the body and neutralize the poison."
"However, the Immortal Herb I've chosen isn't to help you detoxify, Poison Douluo, but rather to strengthen your poison! To allow your Martial Soul to evolve into the true King of Ten Thousand Poisons!"
Dugu Bo was shocked! "Strengthen the poison? The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is already domineering. I've barely managed to suppress it with the special magnetic field of this Treasure Land and my strength as a Titled Douluo."
"If it's strengthened again, once it erupts, I'll be helpless!"
Dugu Bo was finding it hard to keep a straight face.
Don't mess around!
Wouldn't it be better to choose some Immortal Herbs or Spirit Herbs that can neutralize the poison and expel it from my body? Strengthening the poison instead…
Isn't this like splitting open my head with a sharp axe, claiming to treat gout? If I didn't know Ye Qingxian was a serious person, I'd be wondering if I had offended her in the past! Is she taking revenge at this time?!
Ye Qingxian always respected others' fates.
She simply and directly presented Dugu Bo with three options.
"Poison Douluo, I have three methods."
"First, regularly use Spirit Herbs to expel the poison for you. This way, although there will be poison in your body, it will be like Lin Xiao's Evil Fire. As long as it's constantly weakened, it won't endanger your life. However, your poison will inevitably become weaker and weaker. The benefit is that it's the safest."
"Second, consume an Immortal Herb that resolves poison. From then on, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul's poison will be completely cleared, and you'll never have the trouble of being plagued by poison again. However, your Soul Skills can still be used, but they'll basically have no power. You'll become the weakest existence in battles of the same level."
"Third, consume an Immortal Herb that allows snake-type Martial Souls to evolve! After success, it will become an even more powerful Martial Soul, and the strength of the poison will also undergo a qualitative leap! However, during this process, there's also the risk of the poison in your body erupting. Yan Yan has very little poison in her body, so there's no need to worry."
After listening to Ye Qingxian's three options, Dugu Bo remained silent for a long time.
The first option, regular detoxification? Too troublesome, and there's no progress; the second option, purifying the poison? Impossible, he'd rather die than not play with poison.
The third option… is a bit dangerous.
Dugu Bo pondered for a long while, then suddenly chuckled.
"I once prided myself on putting life and death aside. The only reason I was afraid of death was because I couldn't let go of Yan Yan. Since Yan Yan doesn't have this hidden danger, I don't have too many concerns."
"I've been obsessed with poison all my life. I once thought that even if I died, I would die from poison, and it had to be the most extraordinary poison in the world. Only then would I die in the right place, with no regrets."
"Now that there's an opportunity to go further, what's there to hesitate about?"
"Ye Family Head, I choose the third option! Let this old man see just what kind of elegance this Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison will have after its evolution!"
Seeing Dugu Bo make up his mind, Ye Qingxian immediately handed over paper and pen.
Dugu Bo: "..."
His mind didn't react for a moment. What was Ye Qingxian doing? Lin Xiao whispered from the side.
"Senior Dugu, Aunt Ye is probably asking you to write a will."
"In case you fail, you probably won't even have time to leave a message for Yan Yan, so I think you should arrange your affairs sooner rather than later."
Dugu Bo immediately blew his beard and glared.
"I haven't even started yet, and you're already discouraging me?"
"I won't write! If I die, just dig a hole and bury me!"
"That's right, didn't you bring a hoe and a shovel?"
"Just write 'Tomb of Dugu Bo, the World's Number One Poison Soul Master' on the tombstone!"
After hesitating for half a second, Lin Xiao whispered, "Senior Dugu, after you die, the title of 'World's Number One Poison' will probably belong to Sister Yan Yan, so why not write 'World's Number Two'?"
Dugu Bo: "..."
He became angry out of humiliation and said fiercely, "I was the one who brought you to this Treasure Land! If I die, you must take on the responsibility of taking care of Yan Yan! Otherwise, I won't let you off even as a ghost!"
Ye Qingxian silently took back the paper and pen.
Originally, Dugu Bo's words seemed open-minded, but from his hesitation, one could feel that there was still a lot of struggle in his heart.
So Ye Qingxian simply let him arrange his affairs.
This way, he would have fewer worries.
Who would have thought that Lin Xiao would play a trick in a few words?
It seemed that Dugu Bo was so angry that he jumped up and down, but the hidden worries in his heart disappeared, and he became more open-minded after speaking out.
This was also beneficial to the subsequent Martial Soul evolution.
Lin Xiao suddenly said, "By the way, Senior Dugu, don't you have a Dan Pearl?"
"When the Martial Soul evolves later, pay attention to it."
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, and then opened his mouth to spit out a jade-green round pearl.
"This is the Dan Pearl that I condensed after my Azure Phosphorous Snake Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. My lifelong cultivation of poison is on it, and it can be said to carry half of my strength."
"But how did you know?"
Lin Xiao smiled without saying a word.
"Guess? Wait until you can survive!"
"In short, since this was condensed after the Martial Soul evolved,"
"Then the next opportunity for evolution is naturally on it."
Dugu Bo smiled heartily.
He didn't dwell on whether Lin Xiao knew it from Yan Yan or elsewhere. What if he knew?
"Thanks for the reminder!"
