Aromatic Silk Beauty

Following the direction of Dugu Yang's finger, Dugu Bo naturally saw the Pale Pink Great Flower as well.

"Xiaoyang, why did you choose this spirit grass?"

"Second Grandfather, this spirit grass is called Aromatic Silk Beauty. It can neutralize all kinds of toxins and is the Nemesis of All Poisons."

Dugu Yang did not hide anything and directly revealed Aromatic Silk Beauty's name and effects.

At those words, Dugu Bo froze for a moment before his eyes widened. "Xiaoyang, is what you said true?"

Aromatic Silk Beauty was an Immortal Grade Spirit Grass. Even after being picked, it would not lose its vitality.

Dugu Yang gently plucked it, then held it out before Dugu Bo.

After taking the flower, Dugu Bo immediately released a cloud of Jade Phosphor Snake Poison Mist.

Yet as Aromatic Silk Beauty swayed, the poison mist was immediately neutralized.

This change left Dugu Bo greatly astonished.

"It really can neutralize Jade Phosphor Snake Poison. A miraculous item—truly a miraculous item!"

"Xiaoyang, to think you found such an Immortal Grade Spirit Grass. You are truly blessed by heaven."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo handed Aromatic Silk Beauty back to Dugu Yang.

Although Dugu Yang knew Dugu Bo was unlikely to covet his lucky chance, seeing his open-minded expression still moved him. He could not help saying, "Second Grandfather, Aromatic Silk Beauty can neutralize all kinds of deadly poisons. It should also be able to resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Drawback."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo shook his head with a smile. "How could it be that simple? Aromatic Silk Beauty neutralizes poisons from the outside world, while Jade Phosphor Snake Poison has seeped into our marrow. Only by refining it into a pill and swallowing it might there be a chance to resolve it, and even then, there is no guarantee."

"Even if it could be guaranteed, Aromatic Silk Beauty can only be refined into one Detoxification Pill. Between you and Yanzi, how could this old man choose?"

At this point, Dugu Bo paused, then added, "Besides, this Aromatic Silk Beauty is yours. Only you have the right to decide what to do with it."

After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yang finally let down all his guard.

Most rumors about Dugu Bo in the outside world were negative: capricious and domineering, neither good nor evil, Acts Entirely According to His Own Preferences, and so on.

Those evaluations were indeed correct, but only when it came to outsiders.

To Dugu Yang and Yanzi, Dugu Bo was a Caring Elder.

"Second Grandfather, don't worry. One day, I will definitely find a way to completely resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Drawback."

In truth, Poison Body Adaptation could perfectly resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Drawback.

However, aside from Dugu Yang, no one could obtain this spirit skill from a Tree Poison Toad spirit ring.

Hearing Dugu Yang's words, Dugu Bo laughed heartily. "Hahaha, this old man knows the situation regarding the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Drawback. You're still a child. What matters most is cultivating properly. Don't let other trivial matters affect you."

Clearly, Dugu Bo did not believe Dugu Yang could resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Drawback.

Dugu Yang said nothing. Empty words had no meaning. In any case, he had already made up his mind to completely resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Drawback.

In the days that followed, Dugu Yang officially began his "Ultimate Poison" plan.

Previously, Dugu Yang had swallowed the Jade Phosphor Scorpion Poison Pill, and it had taken him a full seven days, most of which had been wasted on detoxification.

Now, however, Dugu Yang had Aromatic Silk Beauty and no longer feared being poisoned. Thus, he swallowed all kinds of deadly poisons without restraint.

He began with the other three of the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons: the Jade Phosphor Centipede, Jade Phosphor Toad, and Jade Phosphor Gecko.

The Poison Pills of those three poisonous creatures were rare treasures, but with Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, gathering them was hardly difficult.

After collecting the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons, Dugu Yang turned his attention to the even more toxic Jade Phosphor Flower Poison.

Compared to the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons, Jade Phosphor Flower Poison was easier to obtain. Outside the Mountain Valley lay fields upon fields of Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flowers. The Poison Mist they exhaled had even formed a poison miasma that not even a Ten Thousand Year Level Spirit Beast could enter.

Relying on Aromatic Silk Beauty, Dugu Yang entered and left the poison miasma every day, consuming Jade Phosphor Flower Poison.

Gradually, he possessed six potent poisons, all from the Jade Phosphor line.

With all Six Potent Poisons unleashed at once, even Dugu Bo would find it troublesome.

Yet Dugu Yang was still dissatisfied. He continued gathering all kinds of deadly poisons, swallowing and absorbing them, making them his own.

Naturally, Dugu Yang did not neglect his cultivation. His Soul Power improved every day.

And so, another year passed.

From within the poison miasma, where one could not see one's hand before one's face, a tall figure slowly emerged. Strangely, the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flower poison miasma, capable of killing even Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, could not come within three feet of him.

That tall figure was none other than Dugu Yang.

Dugu Yang had grown taller still, nearing 1.8 meters. Yet what drew even more attention was his hair. Its tips had turned dark green, as though streaked with dye. Combined with his sharply defined face, it gave him an Eerie Charm.

The reason Dugu Yang's hair had taken on that color was naturally the erosion of Jade Phosphor Snake Poison.

Dugu Yang did not care in the slightest, because he knew that once he obtained his Second Spirit Ring, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Drawback would be easily resolved.

Compared to the Martial Soul Drawback, Dugu Yang was currently troubled by another problem.

"Still no good. How exactly can I fuse several deadly poisons together to form Mixed Poison..."

Dugu Yang muttered to himself, his black eyes filled with confusion and frustration.

Over the past year, Dugu Yang had consumed thirteen poisons. Besides the Jade Phosphor Five Poisons and Jade Phosphor Flower Poison, he possessed another seven deadly poisons.

With the Thirteen Poisons, Dugu Yang could be considered a Source of Poison. Soul Masters below the Five-Ring Spirit King realm were completely unable to withstand his deadly poisons.

But this was far from Dugu Yang's goal.

What he wanted was for the Thirteen Poisons to merge into one, forming an unsolvable Mixed Poison—not merely a single type of deadly poison.

To achieve this goal, Dugu Yang would leave the Mountain Valley from time to time to search for a solution.

With Aromatic Silk Beauty, even without Dugu Bo, Dugu Yang could freely enter and leave the Jade Phosphor Poison Miasma.

Unfortunately, Dugu Yang never found a solution.

"Forget it. I'll wait until after obtaining my Second Spirit Ring."

Dugu Yang shook his head, casting all the frustration from his mind.

Those words also showed that Dugu Yang's Soul Power Level had now reached level 20.

Dugu Yang's cultivation speed was astonishing. Although his Innate Soul Power had only been level 5, in less than two years he had risen fifteen levels in succession. His cultivation speed was even comparable to that of Soul Masters with Innate Full Soul Power.

The greatest reason was naturally the exceptional cultivation environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, but Dugu Yang's relentless hard work day after day for two years was also an indispensable factor.
