Dugu Yan Refines the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core

After leaving the Strength Clan.

Lin Xiao fell into thought.

The alchemy techniques of the Breaking Clan were quite noteworthy.

With Ye Qingxian's understanding of herbs and her own medical foundation, he wondered what kind of sparks would fly when combined with alchemy?

Of course, he would have to wait until he met Yang Wudi.

Lin Xiao would visit him another day.

...

Returning to the Ye Residence, Lin Xiao took out the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

"The grade of this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is no less than that of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. Even ordinary Soul Masters or Soul Beasts would benefit greatly from consuming it. If Yan Yan were to take it, her Silver Horn Azure Jade Flood Dragon might truly transform into a dragon."

The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was currently only over five thousand years old, not yet reaching the ninth grade. Fearing its medicinal efficacy might be insufficient, it needed to be transplanted into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and cultivated for two years.

Fortunately, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was a type of Immortal Herb, and its essence had not been lost within the jade box, preserving it quite well. It could be transplanted again without issue.

Lin Xiao returned to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

He planted the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Coincidentally, Dugu Bo was also cultivating in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well at that moment. Upon seeing Lin Xiao, a hint of joy flashed in the old Poisonous Thing's eyes.

"Hey, Lin Xiao kid!"

"This old man has finally broken through!"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo released his Martial Soul, and a powerful aura surged around him. His entire body then glowed with a jade-like luster, and the phantom image of his Martial Soul, a flood dragon with golden horns on its head, roared towards the sky.

The dragon's might was immense.

"It's all thanks to the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent you gave me, kid. I originally only wanted to study the structure of the Inner Core to improve the Poison Burst Technique, but I didn't expect that by drawing parallels, I would find a slight loosening in my bottleneck at level 95."

"When I was improving the Poison Burst Technique, I broke through to level 96 as a natural progression."

After reaching the Titled Douluo level, the increase in rank was no longer solely dependent on the accumulation of Soul Power, but rather determined by multiple factors such as one's comprehension, the purity of Soul Power, and the direction one chose to pursue.

Dugu Bo had spent several years to break through to level 96, which was considered quite fast.

Lin Xiao was a little curious.

"What is the improved Poison Burst Technique like?"

Dugu Bo chuckled.

"The structure of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core is extremely special. While possessing immense explosive power, it maintains a high degree of stability."

"In a way, it's a bit similar to my own Inner Core, but the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core leans more towards explosive power, while my Inner Core focuses more on the accumulation of poison."

"This is also the fundamental difference between the Golden Horned Jade Dragon and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent."

At this point, Dugu Bo changed the subject.

"However, the unique properties of Soul Power allow me to simulate the structure of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core to compress Soul Power. Although I don't possess the fire attribute, I can't achieve a 100% replication."

"But I can still restore it to about seventy to eighty percent."

"With this, the explosive power and the speed of poison dissemination of the Poison Burst Technique will be significantly enhanced. Alas, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it all, I'll just create one for you to see, and then you'll know."

Dugu Bo acted as he spoke.

Soul Power surged in his palm, rapidly converging and compressing into a green egg-like shape. Lin Xiao's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said:

"I understand! I understand! No need to demonstrate!"

Dugu Bo pouted.

"What are you panicking about? I already said the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core has extremely strong stability. Unless I detonate it myself, even under the interference of extreme external environments, there won't be any problems."

"By the way, I saw you planting a herb in the center of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well just now. What kind of herb is that?"

Lin Xiao answered truthfully.

"This is the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Consuming it can enhance one's physique and improve their aptitude."

"It's very beneficial for both humans and Soul Beasts."

"Furthermore, it has the potential to enhance or activate the Dragon Bloodline."

"I plan to keep it for Yan Yan in the future."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"It's good that you always remember Yan Yan. It's not in vain that that girl is so devoted to you, and I can rest assured entrusting Yan Yan to you."

Lin Xiao smiled shyly.

"Senior Dugu, since your seclusion has ended, do you have any plans recently?"

Dugu Bo asked in surprise:

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao said, "I plan to go to the Breaking Clan. Senior Dugu, would you like to accompany me?"

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.

"Is it to exterminate a clan or to fight?"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Ever since his Martial Soul's defect was resolved, Dugu Bo seemed to have found a second spring. Not only had his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but his entire mental state had also greatly improved.

He was like a vigorous young man.

"Aunt Qingxian is interested in alchemy, and the Breaking Clan happens to have some. I also need to deal with matters concerning the Clear Sky Sect lately, so it works out perfectly to handle it all together."

Dugu Bo said cheerfully:

"I'm free anytime, let's go together then!"

Lin Xiao and Dugu Bo returned to Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo had nearly finished researching the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, so he gave the Inner Core to Dugu Yan, allowing her to refine it.

However, Ye Qingxian said:

"The Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent contains a fatal fire poison. How can it be consumed casually? If Yan Yan's Martial Soul were fire-attributed, or if she had the strength of a Titled Douluo like Senior Dugu, it would be fine. But swallowing it like this will definitely cause problems!"

Dugu Bo was startled by her words.

He had almost harmed Yan Yan?!

Lin Xiao chuckled, "Senior Dugu, look at you, so easily flustered. Where has your Super Douluo demeanor gone? Since Aunt Ye said so, there must be a solution!"

Ye Qingxian shot Lin Xiao a playfully chiding glance.

"You think you know everything about me, like you're inside my belly?"

Ye Qingxian pondered for a moment, then frowned in thought.

"Actually, the solution isn't difficult. We just need to neutralize it with medicinal cuisine and prepare a medicinal bath to expel the fire poison. Since Lin Xiao is here, he can assist Yan Yan in refining the Inner Core."

Lin Xiao asked curiously:

"I assist Sister Yanyan in refining the Inner Core?"

"Please teach me, Aunt Ye."

...

Ye Qingxian began to busily prepare everything.

She first took some medicinal ingredients made from herbs from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, prepared the medicinal cuisine to clear heat and reduce fire, and then prepared the medicinal bath to steam out the fire poison.

By evening.

Everything was almost ready.

Ye Qingxian cleared the courtyard of all extraneous people. Only Ye Qingxian, Dugu Yan, and Lin Xiao remained in the courtyard. Even Ye Lingling was unceremoniously expelled.

In the center of the courtyard, a layer of gauze covered the medicinal bath cauldron, which was heating up.

Dugu Yan's face was flushed with embarrassment. Gone was her usual aloof demeanor, and she stood beside the medicinal bath tub, looking shy and hesitant. "Aunt Ye, do we really have to take a medicinal bath in the courtyard?"

Ye Qingxian asked in surprise:

"Of course!"

"Yan Yan, don't worry, I've sent everyone else away."

Dugu Yan lowered her head, secretly glancing at Lin Xiao.

Ye Qingxian urged, "Don't be shy."

"Yan Yan, you're already 23 years old!"

"Lin Xiao will join you in the bath later."

"Yan Yan, aren't you and Lin Xiao a couple? What are you so shy about!"
