Soul Cores and Immortal Herbs

Boom!

The news of Dugu Bo being poisoned exploded beside Dugu Yan's ears like a thunderclap.

Her face turned pale, disbelief written all over it. "My grandfather is the most powerful Poison Attribute Soul Master on the continent. How could he possibly be poisoned?!"

Ye Qingli sighed softly. "Child, your grandfather truly is poisoned. He came to me for treatment back then, but Senior Dugu's toxins are caused by his martial soul. My Nine Hearts Begonia cannot cure them."

Dugu Yan collapsed onto a stool and murmured, "Why didn't Grandfather tell me?"

"Your grandfather was worried about you. In fact, both your father and mother died because of the toxins from their martial souls. Your father passed the toxins on to your mother." Ye Qingli gently embraced Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan's eyes instantly reddened.

"Father... Mother!"

Ye Lingling fell silent. She had not expected things to be like this.

After a while, Ye Lingling spoke. "Yanyan, nothing can be changed about your parents, but there is still hope for you and your grandfather.

Xu Fan said he has a way to solve your toxin problem."

"Right! Xu Fan, Xu Fan can do it." Dugu Yan wiped away her tears. "Aunt Ye, I'm leaving. I'm going to find Xu Fan."

"Alright. Be careful." Although Ye Qingli worried about Dugu Yan, she was only a Healing Soul Master and could not help her.

[The first method is the simplest and most brutal: directly cripple Grandpa Dugu's Poison Pill. Then he will no longer be in danger. But likewise, without his toxins, Grandpa Dugu's combat strength will probably be inferior even to that of an ordinary Soul Douluo. He definitely would not choose this method.]

[The second method is slightly better and can at least buy a long amount of time. Have Grandpa Dugu channel the toxins into spirit bones, so they will not affect his body. But spirit bones are rather rare, and their capacity is limited. Grandpa Dugu does not have a complete set of spirit bones.

It can only serve as a short-term delay. He will still run into trouble later.]

[The third method starts with Soul Cores. Soul Cores are a type of Soul Master energy core I researched in the future, and they are extremely important.

They are formed when Soul Masters compress liquid Soul Power into a solid state and store it in the dantian. They can accelerate the recovery of Soul Power and may even increase the chance of breaking through to Title Douluo.

However, the requirements are high. One must be at least a Soul Saint and possess powerful Mental Power. Soul Cores can come in multiple cores. The more one has, the harder cultivation becomes, but the effects are better.

Soul Cores do not increase a Soul Master's cultivation, but their advantage lies in the recovery speed of Soul Power. They can even increase a Soul Master's total Soul Power reserves, so their effects are quite good.]

[The fourth method is the simplest and most effective: find an Immortal Herb for Grandpa Dugu and Yanyan to consume. That was what I did before.

Not only can it raise their Soul Power, it may even give their martial souls a chance to evolve. The effects are extremely obvious.

There is a High Probability I'll choose the fourth method. After all, these Immortal Herbs belong to Grandpa Dugu in the first place. He is just too stupid to know how to use them.]

"Good, that's wonderful! Grandfather and I are saved." Dugu Yan wiped away her tears and continued toward Sunset Forest.

She directly obtained a docile Hundred-Year Soul Beast horse. With it, she could travel to Sunset Forest at great speed.

She might not necessarily run into them on the road, but if she went directly near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, she would be able to find them.

Spirit Hall.

"This Xu Fan is really good to his Dugu Yan. He just gave her two Immortal Herbs like that?" Hu Liena pouted.

"The Immortal Herbs are not important. That Soul Core is what matters most. It is a new direction for Soul Master cultivation." Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed. She had not expected Xu Fan to be not only so formidable in personal combat, but also capable of researching something like this. He was truly incredible.

"That's right. Only we Title Douluo know how difficult it is to break through to Title Douluo. Going from Level Eighty-Nine to Level Ninety is a hurdle that many cannot cross. If Soul Cores truly work, the number of Title Douluo in our Spirit Hall could increase drastically." Ling Yuan nodded.

Bibi Dong looked in the direction of Heaven Dou City.

Xu Fan, Xu Fan, you truly have so many things in your hands. When will you finally come to Spirit City?

Heaven Dou City.

Qian Renxue was somewhat astonished. "Soul Cores? There is actually something like that? That is astonishing.

If they can truly be developed, the number of Title Douluo in the future may directly double."

Qian Renxue knew very well that there were quite a few Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level, especially in Spirit Hall. There were even Level Eighty-Nine Soul Masters, such as the former dean of Spirit Academy.

It was just that he was old and no longer had the time to break through to Title Douluo.

If he could condense a Soul Core, perhaps he would become a Title Douluo.

"This guy really does have a lot of good things on him. I really want to keep you by my side and strip you clean bit by bit."

Skywater City.

"Younger Sister, Xu Fan treats Dugu Yan so well." Shui Yue'er said.

"You can go find Xu Fan too." Huo Wu teased.

Huo Wu had come to Skywater Academy a few days ago. She had not expected Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er to have notebooks as well, so she stayed to add them as friends and read together. It was much more interesting that way.

"Hmph... I'll definitely go find him someday. Just wait." Shui Yue'er naturally did not want to fall behind. Maybe someone was already going to find Xu Fan right now. She wanted an Immortal Herb too.

Although she had nothing else to trade, she still had herself.

Sea God Island.

"Lord Bo Saixi, can Immortal Herbs really evolve martial souls?" Sea Goddess Douluo asked.

Bo Saixi shook her head. "I do not know. Although I have been to the continent, I did not know about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, so naturally I did not know about Immortal Herbs."

"But if Xu Fan said so, there is a High Probability it is true."

"That is far too fortunate. If only I had one too." Sea Goddess Douluo even wanted to leave, but she could not.

Seeing Sea Goddess Douluo's distracted appearance, Bo Saixi sighed softly.

At least, she could not leave right now.

At the same time.

Ning Rongrong headed directly to Ye Manor.

She believed that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan had notebooks too.

It was just that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Ye Family did not seem to have a very good relationship. They were somewhat competitive.

But the Ye Family was only so large, with only one successor. The other clansmen possessed weakened martial souls, and their healing effects were far inferior to the Nine Hearts Begonia.

"But they would not target me, would they? I'll go take a look first."

[Let's see which one Grandpa Dugu chooses when the time comes.]

[Eh... In a while, those people from Shrek Academy seem to be going to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings, right?]

[Oscar has reached Level Thirty. Tang San and Xiao Wu will soon reach Level Thirty too, and all of them can obtain Soul Rings.]

[This journey is also quite exciting. Rongrong and Zhuqing told me many stories. Of course, Shrek Academy remains as disgusting as ever.]
