Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree

Only one thing remained: detoxifying Dugu Bo. Once that was done, he would have given Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan a perfect explanation.

"Poison Elder, we've all finished our own business. Now it's time to remove the poison in your bone marrow," Duanyu Fan said at once, after watching the grandfather and granddaughter finish rejoicing.

"All right. I'll have to trouble you, Holy Son," Dugu Bo said solemnly, cupping his fists.

"Simple. Get ready. When I clear the poison from your body, eat the Half-Sided Lotus, then guide the toxins into your soul bone. You can't be slow by even half a breath," Duanyu Fan instructed.

"Come, Holy Son. I'm ready." Dugu Bo held the Half-Sided Lotus.

"First Soul Skill, Healing Prayer." Duanyu Fan summoned his Cross Spirit. A beam of golden light entered Dugu Bo's body. Duanyu Fan did not cut it off immediately, continuing to maintain the Soul Power output of his First Soul Skill.

The effect of Purification moved through Dugu Bo's entire body. Whenever it encountered toxins harmful to Dugu Bo, it immediately cleared them out of his body.

"Now. Hurry and absorb it," Duanyu Fan reminded him aloud.

Dugu Bo also immediately swallowed the Half-Sided Lotus, then activated his only Medusa head soul bone. All the toxins cleared out of his body by Duanyu Fan were absorbed into the Medusa soul bone by Dugu Bo.

This continued for half an hour before Duanyu Fan finally stopped. The Half-Sided Lotus's effect was to prevent Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison from continuing to invade his bone marrow, while Dugu Bo used his soul bone to absorb the toxins outside his body and feed them back into himself. He actually succeeded in breaking through to rank 92 Soul Power.

"Ah! This old man has never felt so refreshed. My body feels as if it has returned to my middle-aged years," Dugu Bo said exaggeratedly.

"That's good. As long as it worked. For the rest, it should take you about a month to fully recover," Duanyu Fan continued, instructing Dugu Bo on the matters he needed to pay attention to.

"Many thanks, Holy Son. I can handle the rest. You truly are our benefactor," Dugu Bo said with great gratitude.

"All right, we're all on the same side now. There's no need to say anything else. Action is what matters most. We should leave as well and go obtain my Fourth Soul Ring," Duanyu Fan said, seeing that it was about time to go.

"That's true. Yan'er is rank 30 too and needs her Third Soul Ring. Speaking of which, Yan'er's spirit is now the Poison Dragon. Does she still need to continue on the control-system soul master path?" Dugu Bo could not make up his mind for a moment.

"Old Poison, what are you thinking? A Poison Dragon spirit. Of course it should be assault with control on the side," Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly answered.

"Let's go. We can discuss it as we walk," Bibi Dong said, coming to Duanyu Fan's side.

Afterward, she brought Duanyu Fan to the exit above the valley floor. Then Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo, who brought Dugu Yan with him, also came up.

With the same Third Soul Skill, Holy Light Guard, he applied a protective barrier to everyone and walked out of the poison barrier. By the time they came out, it was already around five in the afternoon.

"Teacher, looks like we can only spend a night in the forest," Duanyu Fan said, looking at the sky. Though it was bright outside, the forest blocked part of the light.

"Holy Son, that's no problem. We have enough tents," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

"Let's go. There's still some time. Search toward the center of the forest," Bibi Dong said faintly.

"Poison Elder, you're often in Sunset Forest. Have you ever seen any soul beasts with the light attribute?" Duanyu Fan asked Dugu Bo as they walked.

"A light-attribute soul beast? I really have seen one, but it was a tree. It was more or less a ten-thousand-year-level demon tree. I encountered it a long time ago when I was searching for my ninth soul ring," Dugu Bo recalled for a moment, then gave a clue.

"There really is one? A ten-thousand-year plant-type spirit, huh? It's not impossible. Let's go, Poison Elder. Lead the way." Duanyu Fan was pleasantly surprised. He had not expected that a casual question would really find him a soul beast suited to him.

"Uh! Holy Son, wouldn't a ten-thousand-year level for the fourth ring be too risky?" Chrysanthemum Douluo said worriedly.

"That's right, Holy Son. The gap between a thousand years and ten thousand years cannot be spoken of in the same breath. Even a soul beast at the nine-thousand-nine-hundred-year level has about a twofold difference compared to a ten-thousand-year one. Moreover, absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring also comes with the soul beast's own resentful will attacking and affecting mental power. We call it soul shock," Dugu Bo was also startled and hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry. Have you forgotten the Immortal Herb I ate? After eating Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, my mental power reached the level of a Soul Emperor, and my physique has also been tempered by the spring water. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year level one will be no problem. Teacher, do you think it's all right?" Duanyu Fan said, finally asking Bibi Dong for her approval.

"Xiao Fan, are you confident?" Bibi Dong only asked Duanyu Fan in return.

"Yes," Duanyu Fan answered with certainty.

"Good. Poison Elder, lead the way." Hearing Duanyu Fan's strong answer, Bibi Dong had Poison Douluo lead the way.

"All right, then. Speaking of which, it isn't far. We'll arrive in about half an hour," Dugu Bo said, then began walking at the front to lead the way.

Afterward, under Dugu Bo's guidance, they walked for half an hour and arrived before six large trees. The six trees were about a meter in diameter. What was strange was that there was a seventh tree, different from the other six. This tree was over ten meters tall and about fifty centimeters in diameter. Its entire bark was grayish white, and its leaves were silver-gold.

To tell the truth, Duanyu Fan did not know what kind of tree this was, but a faint fluctuation of Soul Power came from it. If one did not pay attention, no one would think this was a plant-type soul beast. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo did not know either. They only knew that it was a light-type plant soul beast.

"Teacher, what tree is this?" Duanyu Fan could only ask Bibi Dong.

"This is a Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree. It's extremely rare, and its growth conditions are very demanding. Judging from the size of this Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree, it should be around the eleven-thousand-year level. It is indeed very suitable for your spirit and should bring an extremely powerful healing soul skill," Bibi Dong said, naming the tree and explaining it.

"Good. Then I'll choose the soul ring of this Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree," Duanyu Fan said at once.

"Yue Guan, cut down the whole tree from the roots," Bibi Dong instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo to act.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence." Chrysanthemum Douluo brought out his signature soul skill. After eating the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the blades formed by the gathered petals all carried a faint flowing golden light as they swiftly slashed toward the Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree.

The Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree sensed the threat. Its branches and leaves moved to block for itself.

"Oh, it can even defend? Overestimating yourself," Chrysanthemum Douluo said in surprise when he saw that the Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree could still defend.

Unfortunately, the Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree only made a symbolic resistance. It was scattered in an instant by Chrysanthemum Douluo's slash, and then it was cut straight through from the roots. The Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree fell backward.

"Uh, it's not dead, is it?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was startled, thinking he might have killed the Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree himself.

Bibi Dong brought Duanyu Fan to the Holy Sun Soul Demon Tree and looked at the hollow space in the middle of its roots.

"Xiao Fan, the tree heart is underneath, in the center of the bottom. It's very fragile. A slightly longer dagger should be able to reach it," Bibi Dong said faintly, telling Duanyu Fan the situation.

"All right, Teacher." Duanyu Fan took out a long dagger and stabbed it down into the fist-sized hole.

Duanyu Fan felt the dagger pierce something soft. When he pulled it out, there was a bit of dark-green sap on the tip. He waited for a while, but the soul ring still did not appear.

Duanyu Fan stabbed several more times in succession. Before long, a black soul ring appeared, filled with Soul Power.
