Matchmaker Dugu Bo Online

It took a full two hours for the medicinal power to be completely refined.

The Martial Soul backlash that had plagued him his entire life was finally resolved!

Not only had his poison been terrifyingly amplified, but his physical defenses had also been strengthened, and his Soul Power had broken through to rank ninety-three!

He had even awakened a powerful domain—the Jade Phosphorus Domain!

Within the domain, both his poison and Soul Power could be greatly enhanced!

From this day onward, Dugu Bo was no longer the so-called "Weakest Titled"!

The venom in his body was enough to threaten the vast majority of Titled Douluo.

He slowly rose to his feet, stared at Lin Hai, and said solemnly,

"Little Monster, you saved this old man. You saved the Dugu Family. This old man thanks you!"

Little Monster?

Lin Hai's heart stirred as he mused,

So I stole that title from Tang San? I wonder if that intangible Fortune will shift over with it...

Yet he wore a shameless grin as he teased,

"Old Monster, you're too polite! I ate and took things from your treasured land—if I didn't repay you a little, wouldn't I be far too—shame—less?"

He placed particular emphasis on the final four words, as though subtly mocking someone.

Only then did he ask, "How was the Elixir Pill's effect?"

Dugu Bo described in detail the transformation of his Martial Soul, the breakthrough in his Soul Power, the awakening of his domain, and everything else.

Lin Hai nodded.

"Just as expected. The core of Martial Soul Evolution lies in strengthening its source attributes..."

He silently added,

Tang San really had rotten luck, yet he was born under a lucky star. The Life attribute and Poison attribute are absolutely incompatible... and in the end, neither of them was delayed at all...

Dugu Bo muttered, "Attribute enhancement?"

"Precisely."

Lin Hai explained,

"The main ingredients of the Elixir Pill you took were two Immortal Grade herbs—Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, which contains earth-element Dragon Origin, and Snow Swan Kiss, whose characteristic is to amplify poison to the extreme."

"And your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor is, in essence, a dragon-attribute poison Martial Soul."

"But you have already become a Titled Douluo, and your Martial Soul foundation is deeply rooted. The dragon-attribute portion was strengthened by the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, but not enough to evolve once more. Instead, it helped you awaken a domain."

"The earth attribute also enhanced your defenses, and it does not conflict with the poison attribute."

"As for the poison attribute, while the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor is powerful, its poison is rather lacking. Snow Swan Kiss is exactly the catalyst that pushes its toxicity to the extreme!"

"But Snow Swan Kiss acted upon your Pill Core, not your Martial Soul."

"The poison you cultivate in the future will be weaker than the refined poison within the Pill Core. However, as long as you channel it into the Pill Core, it will naturally be tempered and strengthened."

"As for the backlash..."

Lin Hai changed the subject.

"Your Martial Soul's origin is too powerful, so the backlash cannot be eradicated through evolution. I could only use my blood's immunity to all poisons to forcibly circulate it through your body and drive the toxins into your Pill Core."

"Your granddaughter is different. Her foundation is still shallow. After taking the Elixir Pill, there is a high chance that her Martial Soul will evolve, resolving the backlash on its own."

"Even if it cannot evolve, my blood will ensure that she remains safe."

Lin Hai tossed over another Jade Bottle.

"This pill is for your granddaughter. It's the same as yours."

Dugu Bo caught the Jade Bottle, his eyes full of admiration.

"Good boy! There are actually such profound mysteries in the path of Martial Souls! These past years, this old man truly was a frog at the bottom of a well..."

With a flick of his wrist, he actually tossed the Jade Bottle back to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai froze. "What do you mean by this?"

A mischievous glint flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.

"This old man will go bring Yanyan here right away. You should give her this pill yourself. Little Monster, this old man can only help you this much. You... make the most of it!"

Before his words had even faded, he had already turned into a streak of jade light and vanished from the spot with incredible speed, leaving Lin Hai standing there in speechless bewilderment.

A bitter smile surfaced on Lin Hai's lips as he silently grumbled,

This old man is playing matchmaker without even asking the people involved... If your granddaughter is pretty, can't I give her something else? Who are you looking down on?!

Lin Hai considered himself quite wealthy.

While Dugu Bo was away, Lin Hai stopped wasting time. He immediately focused his mind and communicated once again with the Bodhi Ancient Tree within his dantian.

He urgently wanted to know how to take out Spirit Bones on his own.

His current Dantian Space was practically an oversized Storage Spirit Tool capable of holding living beings.

Retrieving and storing items would be commonplace in the future. He could not possibly trouble Old Bodhi Tree every time; that would be far too inconsiderate.

Lin Hai knew clearly that the Dantian Space differed from ordinary Storage Spirit Tools. Storing and retrieving items depended on Spiritual Power rather than Soul Power.

With the Spiritual Power he had tempered for five years, manipulating objects was naturally no problem.

What he wanted to ask now was a more delicate technical matter—how could he "open" his own stomach seamlessly without harming himself?

Put simply—he wanted Old Bodhi Tree to make him a key.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree's thoughts came with a trace of helplessness.

"You are thinking too simply. This involves Space Law of no low level. Unless you can absorb or refine the Inkstone of No Return in the future, it is absolutely impossible at present."

Lin Hai was helpless about that.

With no other choice, Old Bodhi Tree had to get to work again.

Space rippled slightly. Two entirely different lights emerged from Lin Hai's abdomen and floated before him.

One Spirit Bone was a deep ice-blue throughout, its chill restrained like a slumbering polar glacier. Once awakened, it could Ice Seal the entire Sunset Forest.

The other resembled solidified magma. The violent fire-attribute energy contained within surged turbulently, making Lin Hai feel as though he faced a living volcano suppressing the power of Destruction.

Lin Hai's gaze swept back and forth across the two Spirit Bones radiating terrifying pressure, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Theoretically speaking... Bu Yuan Cauldron should be able to refine these Spirit Bones too, right?

He understood Bu Yuan Cauldron's nature well—any pure energy body within the scope of its refining ability could become material for refining.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the target itself possessed no intelligence. This was one of Bu Yuan Cauldron's current limitations.

As soon as the thought arose, he felt it was somewhat fanciful. After all, the Spirit Bones most likely contained the powerful wills of Dragon Souls.

Besides, Bu Yuan Cauldron could not yet even refine a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Spirit Ring Pill, much less Spirit Bones at the million-year level.

Wait...

His thoughts raced.

The reason Bu Yuan Cauldron can't refine Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring Pills may not lie with the cauldron itself. It might be because the materials used before were merely the blood of Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. Now, I have Ah Yin's juice in my hands...

Bu Yuan Cauldron's pill refining was limited by no more than three factors—

The limit of the ingredients' quality, the energy supporting refinement—Soul Power—and Bu Yuan Cauldron's own ability limit.

He still did not know where the cauldron's limit lay, but logically, using the source essence of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to refine a Spirit Ring Pill of the same level was feasible.

He did not immediately attempt to refine the 160,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Ring Pill. He had overlooked the matter earlier.

Now that the Bodhi Ancient Tree had already "clocked out," Lin Hai did not want to casually summon and dismiss this great being. Though Old Bodhi Tree was mild-tempered, it was not his Spirit Ring or Martial Soul after all.

Of course, he could have entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well himself to do it.

The Soul Power there was as abundant as the sea, and with his current physique, refining pills inside would be perfectly safe.

It was just that... the Dragon Souls had only recently erupted in unrest. Stimulating Them again now would be no different from taunting Them to Their faces.
