Level 30!

After Fang Xuan digested the ice and fire power of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, he leaped directly from level 22 to level 30, soaring eight levels in a row. It was truly shocking!

For an ordinary person to rise from level 22 to level 30 would take at least two years, but Fang Xuan had surged eight levels at once and stepped directly into level 30. He was only one step away from breaking through to the level 31 Soul Elder realm.

Then he could continue copying Martial Souls!

Fang Xuan was overjoyed!

Rustle... rustle...

A faint sound suddenly came from a dense patch of grass ahead.

Then, a curious little head poked out from the grass. When she raised her pretty face, she met Fang Xuan's puzzled gaze.

Their eyes met.

They stared wide-eyed at each other!

"Do you like what you see?" Fang Xuan asked.

"Ah! I'll kill you!"

Dugu Yan let out a scream, her pretty face flushing red as she fled like the wind.

"How ridiculous. I'm the one who got completely seen!"

Fang Xuan felt as though someone had taken advantage of him, then turned around and accused him instead.

There might be something wrong with that girl's head. He had scared her away during the day, yet she had sneaked back again at night. It was utterly baffling.

He took out a clean set of clothes from his Spatial Ring, shook the droplets from his black hair, swiftly changed, then sat cross-legged by the stream to check his personal information.

[Strongest Blade Drawing System] [Host: Fang Xuan] [Level: LV30] [Title: Soul Grandmaster] [Soul Power: 15/500] [Proficiency: Basic Blade Drawing Technique (99/100)] [God-Bestowed Blade: 0] [Martial Souls: Ice Phoenix Soul (Beginner 70/100), Nine Heart Begonia Soul (Beginner 30/100)] [Talents: Blade of Glacial Cold, Blade of Healing]

His Soul Power had soared directly to level 30. Perhaps because he had absorbed the power of extreme cold and the Immortal Herbs, the proficiency of both Martial Souls had also increased to a certain extent.

Dugu Bo had given Fang Xuan one day. He had to hurry and prepare the antidote.

In truth, the antidote was merely some ordinary medicine to relax the muscles and stimulate circulation. The secret to curing the poison in Dugu Bo's body was Fang Xuan's blood.

Now that Fang Xuan had absorbed the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, his blood contained the medicinal power of the two Immortal Herbs. It could alleviate the Deadly Poison within Dugu Bo's body. Then, if that old monster forced the poison into his Soul Bones himself, he could completely detoxify it, though that would take some time.

That was how it happened in the Douluo plot.

He could not make a miracle medicine capable of bringing the dead back to life, but preparing some everyday medicine to relax the muscles and stimulate circulation was no problem.

With that in mind, he quickly got to work and began preparing the antidote.

The next morning, the rising sun climbed into the sky.

Rays of sunlight poured down from above, piercing through the haze and illuminating the silent Soul Beast Forest!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A burst of rapid wind-piercing sounds came from ahead, waking Fang Xuan from his meditation.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a lean, aged face as vicious as a venomous snake. A trace of anxiety flickered in those green eyes.

"Boy, the time is about up. Have you prepared my antidote?!" Dugu Bo stared coldly at Fang Xuan. Clearly, a Titled Douluo did not possess much patience.

He had waited patiently for an entire day for the antidote that would treat the Deadly Poison within his body. If Fang Xuan did not give him the answer he wanted today, he would have to bear the wrath of a Titled Douluo.

Fang Xuan expressionlessly glanced at Dugu Bo, calmly took out a small green bottle, and placed it on the ground. Then he closed his eyes and continued meditating, ignoring the outside world with the air of a reclusive master.

After hesitating for a moment, Dugu Bo removed the stopper and held the bottle beneath his nose for a light sniff. He immediately frowned, his anger-filled eyes glaring fiercely at Fang Xuan.

"You brat, you dare deceive me? This is only ordinary medicine. I've used poison for decades and know all kinds of herbs. I can tell something as simple as this."

"You can choose to smash it to pieces, stomp on it twice, and then kill me!" Fang Xuan said calmly. "Of course, you can also try taking it for a while and decide after seeing the results."

Dugu Bo pondered for a while before saying, "Fine. I'll trust you brat this once."

Fang Xuan continued, "This medicine is only a primer. It can ease the pain caused when the Deadly Poison in your body acts up. If you want to eradicate it completely, you'll need to find another method."

"What? There's another method needed? Didn't you say you were a master physician who could cure any illness with a dose of medicine?!" Dugu Bo said unhappily, feeling that Fang Xuan might have fooled him.

"Cough, cough. You've been poisoned for decades. You think one dose of medicine can cure you? Do you take me for an immortal? If I had that kind of ability, I would have long since gone to serve Spirit Hall, the most powerful force on the continent, and had them send someone to kill you. I wouldn't have ended up being captured here by you."

Fang Xuan coughed dryly. He had bragged a little too much and nearly talked himself into a corner.

One dose of medicine to cure you?

Did he think it was some Nine-Revolution Immortal Pill or a Dao-Union Flower?

He had not expected a Titled Douluo to be so naive!

Or had his skill at being devious already reached the pinnacle?

"Fine. Tell me, then. How can the Deadly Poison in my body be completely removed?"

Though he was somewhat dissatisfied, Dugu Bo thought it over carefully and felt that Fang Xuan's words made sense. Thus, he patiently asked Fang Xuan.

Recalling the plot in his mind, Fang Xuan spoke eloquently.

"The reason you've suffered poison backlash is mainly because you cultivate poison arts!

If your Martial Soul were a Weapon Spirit, you could try condensing the poison into your Martial Soul and thereby resolve the Deadly Poison in your body. But your Martial Soul is a Beast Spirit, so the Deadly Poison has fused with your body, and it has been there for a long time!

Although you can suppress it with your powerful Soul Power, that only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Before long, the Deadly Poison in your body will erupt completely and devour you whole!

Therefore, if you want to completely remove the poison from your body, you must find a medium to serve as a place to store the Deadly Poison. Given your strength, you should have Soul Bones, right?!"

This was the proper detoxification route from the original work!

Fortunately, he possessed a photographic memory, which was why he remembered the detoxification method from the original work so clearly. If some forgetful reader had transmigrated here instead, wouldn't he have been slaughtered by an enraged Dugu Bo?

Fang Xuan could not help but sigh in relief, feeling immense admiration for himself.

At last, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He said excitedly, "You mean I should force the poison into my Soul Bones? Your brain works quite well, brat. That really is a good method!

But I've accumulated poison for decades. It won't be easy to force it out. One careless mistake could trigger an even fiercer backlash and kill me on the spot. You brat, you aren't trying to harm me, are you?!"

"This is the only method of detoxification. Whether you use it is up to you..." Fang Xuan said indifferently.
