Chapter 47: White Spirit Ice Poison Dragon, Frost Thunder Resonance Dragon

The process of absorbing the soul bone lasted a full day and night.

The next morning, Yun Yibai opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"This should add even more years to my fourth soul ring," he muttered to himself.

"Once I return, Yanzi should be fine now too."

With the soul bone fully absorbed, Yun Yibai saw no need to stay in the small town any longer.

Meanwhile, in a corner of Spirit Dou City…

"It's the third day today!"

Yang Wudi held up a detox pill he had just refined.

Dugu Yan popped the pill into her mouth at once.

"I feel like this tastes… familiar," she said, frowning slightly.

"Grandpa, did you put dragon blood into this pill?"

"Yes, exactly that," she pulled out the bottle of dragon blood left by Yun Yibai—now empty.

Yang Wudi examined the bottle, knowing full well he hadn't added dragon blood.

He uncorked the bottle and inhaled deeply.

Upon recognizing the scent, he laughed.

"Hahaha! That's not dragon blood—it's that brat Yun Yibai's blood."

Dugu Bo commented, "His martial spirit is the Blue-Electric Tyranno. Calling it dragon's blood isn't too far off."

"He was generous. I couldn't even get a bottle from him before."

"What are you two talking about?"

Dugu Yan asked.

"That bottle isn't dragon blood from a beast. It's Yun Yibai's blood—he must like you."

"Ah?!"

"But it tasted good! What do we do now?"

"Do? Wait for Yun Yibai to come back and drink it together!"

Yun Yibai's previous town wasn't far from Spirit Dou City—but he didn't know where it was, so it took him two days to return.

Back at Lanba Academy, Yun Yibai saw only Oscar waiting for him.

"Oscar, what's your soul power level now?"

"Hehe—just broke through to level 33 recently!"

"Level 33, huh?"

"Where's Yanzi?"

"Dugu Qianbei took her away."

Yun Yibai understood—Yang Wudi had completed the detox cure for Dugu Yan.

"Here, this is for you." He handed Oscar the Eight‑Petal Fairy Orchid from his Soul Conduit—his pouch gifted by Dugu Bo.

At this point, Dugu Bo recognized that Yun Yibai had orchestrated everything: finding Yang Wudi brought the antidote, and he quietly gained a family ally.

Dugu Bo kept the Heaven‑Reaching Mushroom Chrysanthemum for himself, but gave Yun Yibai everything else—still seeing more need on Yun Yibai's side.

He was, in his way, investing in his future grandson-in-law.

Though the Chrysanthemum would have helped Yun Yibai, Yun Yibai had a different choice—so Dugu Bo claimed it to spite Juhua Guan.

The Eight‑Petal Fairy Orchid, however, was perfect for Oscar: a food‑type soul master. Its gentle yet nourishing properties cleanse impurities and strengthen his foundation.

"What's this?"

"Eight‑Petal Fairy Orchid—top-tier herb, aids your training."

"Boss, I…"

"Go eat it! Don't distract me!"

Yun Yibai quickly ushered Oscar inside and then pulled out a stack of tomes from his Soul Conduit—mainly compendiums of soul beasts.

These came from Yang Wudi. The Po Zhi family's toxin-based soul beast records were deeper than Dugu Bo's, so their encyclopedia was richer.

Now, Yun Yibai searched for toxin-type sub‑dragon soul beasts suitable for Dugu Yan.

"Bone‑Eroding Spirit Jiao…"

A rare sub‑dragon beast known for powerful venom that corrodes bone—deadly even to skilled soul masters.

"Maybe too aggressive for her… more suited for offensive toxin masters."

He kept looking.

"This one—White Spirit Ice Poison Dragon."

The book described it as a rare sub‑dragon beast with deadly toxin and freezing breath—inflicting toxin plus hypothermia. Its soul ring would provide Dugu Yan's Bili Emperor martial spirit with control and offensive dual utility.

He read carefully: habitat, behavior, and capture difficulty.

Soon he discovered Nether Poison Dragon: another rare sub‑dragon species whose poison erodes soul energy and even the mind. It can also dampen surroundings with oppressive darkness—potentially granting both toxin and spiritual impairment techniques.

"Yang family's toxin-type soul beasts are truly high quality!" he admitted.

"Heading north gives even more options."

Yes—north.

Yun Yibai was seeking an ice-and-lightning sub‑dragon beast: Frost Thunder Resonance Dragon—an extremely rare beast dwelling in harsh Arctic, stormy regions—almost impossible to catch.

As a sub‑dragon, it can use both ice and thunder. And now, Yun Yibai's martial spirit was no longer lacking lightning —opening up more synergy.

After this, maximized soul rings meant little. His issues with talent and progression had already been resolved.

The combination of the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, Fiery Apricot Petal, and Eight‑Spoked Ice Grass fully met his early needs for power and constitution.
