Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Invitation

"Yu Cheng, how did you know?"

Dugu Yan said in surprise.

After obtaining her third Soul Ring, her body had indeed developed some problems.

She would sometimes feel dizzy for no reason, just like a moment ago.

The symptoms on rainy days were also exactly as Yu Cheng had said.

However, Dugu Yan thought it was due to being too tired from cultivation. Moreover, the symptoms weren't severe, so she didn't pay much attention to them.

"Captain, I suspect you might be poisoned."

Yu Cheng stated his thoughts directly.

"Poisoned?"

Dugu Yan said uncertainly, "Could it be because of your White Snake Pill? But I don't feel like anything is wrong with my body."

"It's not the toxins from the White Snake Pill," Yu Cheng shook his head.

He stared into Dugu Yan's eyes and said seriously, "Occasional dizziness, feeling weak and sore on rainy days—you should be very familiar with these symptoms."

Dugu Yan pursed her lips and lowered her head to think for a moment.

"These are symptoms that only appear after being poisoned by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent!"

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

She recalled sparring with Osler previously and accidentally poisoning him.

Although he received timely treatment, Osler still had some lingering effects for the next few days.

He lacked strength during training and felt groggy.

The third day after Osler was injured was a rainy day, and he took leave, lying in bed all day.

"Captain, did you accidentally poison yourself when using your Martial Soul?"

Yu Cheng asked, feigning confusion.

"How is that possible!"

Dugu Yan shook her head firmly.

Injured by her own Martial Soul?

If this got out, wouldn't she be laughed at until her teeth fell out?

She was a Control System Soul Master.

She had undergone specialized training in controlling her own serpent venom. Otherwise, she might accidentally injure her teammates during combat.

"You're the only Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Master in the entire Royal Academy. Besides you, who else could it be?"

Yu Cheng spread his hands.

"I'm not questioning your control ability; I'm guessing your Martial Soul has mutated."

"This..." Dugu Yan fell silent.

Martial Soul mutation?

That was indeed possible.

Her third Soul Ring was over two thousand years old, so a Martial Soul mutation was plausible.

"Yu Cheng, what should I do now? Do you have a solution?"

Dugu Yan frowned.

"I'll give you some pills to suppress the serpent venom in your body for now, but this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause," Yu Cheng said helplessly.

"You can ask Senior Dugu to take a look. He's a Titled Douluo, so he'll definitely have a way to solve your problem!"

"Okay."

Dugu Yan nodded.

"Grandpa went into seclusion a while ago. When he comes out, I'll go find him immediately."

Her tone shifted, and she stared at Yu Cheng seriously. "Let's put the serpent venom aside for now. Yu Cheng, there's something you must promise me. If you research any new pills in the future, you must sell them to me first."

Yu Tianheng is privately seeking out Yu Cheng to refine medicine?

It seems he's still eyeing the captain's position.

Dugu Yan's Soul Power had finally caught up to Yu Tianheng's, and she didn't want to be backstabbed by Yu Cheng one day.

"Alright, alright. If I have anything good in the future, I'll tell you first," Yu Cheng said, patting his chest.

"Hmph, that's more like it," Dugu Yan snorted.

She took out a gold coin card from her Soul Tool and placed it on the table.

"There are ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in here. I'll cover your pill refining time for the next two months, this young lady."

"Yes, Captain!"

Yu Cheng put the gold coin card into his Soul Tool, a smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Being taken care of felt really good.

Time flew by, and two months passed.

Yu Cheng gradually reduced the time he spent refining pills for the members of the Imperial Dou team. In his words, taking too many pills in a short period would cause the body to develop a certain resistance.

Of course, Yu Cheng insisted on checking everyone's physical condition every month. Not only did they not think negatively of it, but they were also very grateful to him.

Seeing this, the young Yu Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

He had almost fallen out with several elders of the Tang Sect while researching Soul Masters' bodies.

He never expected...

That with Yu Cheng, people would be lining up to donate blood to him.

Northwest of Heaven Dou City.

A magnificent building was built against the mountain.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian sat in the main hall, their fingers gently tapping on the table.

"Sect Master, Second Elder, the Hundred Grass Pill and Mysterious Water Pill have been successfully developed."

A white-haired old man jogged in from outside the door.

This person, named Old Li, was the pill refining master the sect had invited as a guest.

"Let me see quickly."

Yu Luomian took the jade bottle from Old Li's hand and eagerly opened the stopper.

A medicinal fragrance wafted out.

He sniffed and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it's this scent!"

Not long ago, Yu Tianheng had returned to the sect.

Upon learning that he had taken the pills refined by Yu Cheng, Yu Yuanzhen and the others were greatly shocked.

They knew of Yu Cheng's reputation, but pill refining was not as simple as publishing theories; it required years of practice.

A ten-year-old pill refining master?

The sect's higher-ups had initially believed Yu Tianheng had been deceived.

However, after witnessing the effects of the two pills, everyone was shocked again.

Even Elder Li, who had been refining pills in the sect for over thirty years, had to sigh at the miraculousness of these pills.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the efficacy of the Hundred Grass Pill is comparable to the medicinal meals consumed by the disciples of the main family, but the cost has been reduced by about twenty percent. I have already arranged for people to specifically purchase the medicinal ingredients for the Hundred Grass Pill."

Elder Li said respectfully.

"Good."

Yu Yuanzhen patted the table, "Elder Li will handle everything."

Elder Li cupped his hands and continued, "However, the formula for the Mysterious Water Pill is a bit strange. I replaced two of the auxiliary ingredients, and the medicinal effect increased by more than ten percent."

"Oh? Isn't that a good thing?"

Yu Luomian asked confusedly.

Elder Li had been refining pills in the sect for over thirty years and could be considered a master of his generation.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian were not surprised that he could improve Yu Cheng's pill formula.

"But the two ingredients I replaced were very common. If Yu Cheng were truly a pill refining master, he should have been able to improve the formula himself."

Elder Li voiced his doubts.

"Yu Cheng is only a teenager, how can he compare to Elder Li?"

Yu Luomian said indifferently.

Elder Li shook his head and sighed, "If I had the chance, I would really like to exchange ideas with this young man. Unfortunately, I've been too busy recently and can't find the time."

"That's simple, I'll send someone to the Royal Academy to find him."

Yu Luomian stood up directly.

"Second brother, Yu Cheng is well-known and is part of the royal family. Your people must not be too rude when they see him."

Yu Yuanzhen instructed.

"Understood."

Yu Luomian replied casually.

Heaven Dou Academy.

Yu Cheng and Qin Ming walked side-by-side down a road.

"Yu Cheng, for the next while, the Imperial Dou Team will be going to the Dou Spirit Arenas in various cities for the third stage of practical combat training. Will you be joining us, or will you stay at the academy to continue cultivating?"

Qin Ming asked.

It was hard to imagine that he, a Soul Emperor teacher, would actually be asking for a student's opinion.

However, Qin Ming was genuinely unsure about Yu Cheng's arrangements.

Yu Cheng's two support Soul Skills were powerful, no less impressive than those of a typical Soul Elder.

Yet, after witnessing Yu Cheng's superb alchemy skills, Qin Ming suddenly realized that combat experience held no practical significance for Yu Cheng.

An alchemy master would be revered wherever they went and wouldn't need to fight themselves.

"I'll continue staying in the dorm. I should be breaking through to level twenty-three soon,"

Yu Cheng said with a smile.

In fact, he still needed to wait at the academy for Dugu Bo to find him.

If he missed out on Dugu Bo's immortal herbs because of a Dou Spirit match, he'd have nowhere to turn to cry.

"Level twenty-three! That fast!"

Qin Ming exclaimed in surprise.

He was about to say something else when he suddenly felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching.

"Who is it? How dare they fly in the sky within the Royal Academy?"
