Reciting the Immortal Herb Redemption Code

Meanwhile,

Hu Liena had finished cultivating, but Lu Fan's Thousand-Year second Spirit Ring still left her deeply shocked.

She went to find her teacher.

"Nana, you're here."

Seeing that it was Hu Liena, some warmth suddenly appeared on Bibi Dong's face, which was usually as cold as an eternal glacier.

Hu Liena stepped forward respectfully. "Teacher."

Then Hu Liena told Bibi Dong every detail of what had happened at the academy that day.

"Teacher, how exactly did Little Fanfan manage to obtain a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as his second ring?"

Hu Liena asked curiously.

From what she knew, there should have been nothing in this world that her teacher did not know.

Bibi Dong coughed lightly. "Absorbing a Spirit Ring beyond one's limit is related to one's physical constitution, as well as the type of Spirit Beast."

"For him to absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as his second ring, first, his physique must be exceptionally strong. Second, that Thousand-Year Spirit Beast's bloodline must have been weak, allowing his Martial Soul to suppress it. That was how he succeeded."

At least, based on the theoretical knowledge Bibi Dong currently possessed,

that was the only explanation she could offer.

If there were any other possibility,

could it be that Lu Fan had already caught the attention of a god at merely two rings and completed at least one Divine Trial?

That was obviously impossible.

So, setting aside the impossible and choosing the barely reasonable explanation, that was the only way to think about it.

Hu Liena felt somewhat dejected upon hearing that.

She had thought she might learn from her teacher how to absorb Spirit Rings beyond her limit.

But abandoning the quality of a Spirit Beast merely for a higher Spirit Ring age was not exactly wise either.

Besides,

Hu Liena felt that the Spirit Beast behind Lu Fan's second Spirit Ring could not possibly have been of low quality.

She herself was a three-ring Soul Elder

and a Soul Master with a Thousand-Year soul skill.

She had also seen quite a few Thousand-Year soul skills from other Soul Masters.

Doing a rough comparison,

Lu Fan's soul skill was definitely not weak among Spirit Rings just over a thousand years old.

But didn't that contradict her teacher's theory?

For a moment, Hu Liena was at a loss.

"Could Teacher's theory be wrong?"

That thought suddenly surfaced in Hu Liena's mind.

But the instant it appeared, she threw it aside.

"How could that be? Teacher is a Titled Douluo and the Pope of Spirit Hall. How could her theoretical knowledge possibly be wrong? There must be some other issue here."

After Hu Liena left,

the gentle, warm smile on Bibi Dong's face instantly turned cold.

"A Thousand-Year second ring? I didn't examine him carefully last time. I never expected that brat to have such a trump card."

"Hmph."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly.

"Those two bastards, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, must have known long ago. They concealed it and failed to report it. Heh heh heh. He just reported a hall master for concealing information and killed him for that crime, yet he turned around and did the exact same thing himself. Well done indeed."

By this point, Bibi Dong's tone had become gritted with anger.

Her two dogs had actually dared to hide something from her.

It made her feel that her authority had been severely challenged.

Concealing something meant harboring ulterior motives.

Harboring ulterior motives meant wanting to become a traitor.

If she did not currently lack capable subordinates, Bibi Dong would have wanted to kill Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately.

"Achoo~"

Yue Guan suddenly sneezed in the distance.

"Strange. There's nothing wrong with my body, so why did I suddenly sneeze? Could someone be thinking about me?"

Yue Guan looked at Gui Mei beside him and smiled. "Old Ghost, do you think Little Fanfan might be missing me?"

"Achoo~"

Gui Mei suddenly sneezed as well.

Yue Guan frowned. "It would be understandable if he missed me, but missing you seems rather unlikely, doesn't it?"

Gui Mei's mouth twitched. "Idiot..."

Meanwhile, Lu Fan had already returned home to cultivate. There was no tension on him from having his secret exposed; instead, he was unexpectedly calm.

That was also because he had prepared himself mentally for this long ago.

It could not be helped. In this world of Douluo Continent, as long as one fought and used soul skills, such basic information would be exposed sooner or later.

There was simply no way to hide it,

unless he killed everyone who knew.

But that method was obviously unusable for Lu Fan.

"It would be great if Teacher and Uncle Ghost could both break through."

Lu Fan sighed inwardly.

Yue Guan's individual combat strength was truly mediocre. Although he possessed level 95 cultivation and such a powerful Martial Soul as the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan's actual combat strength was only around level 93.

Lu Fan did not know whether Yue Guan's ninth ring was too low in age, or whether he had simply taken the wrong path and ended up so lacking in combat power.

However, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's Polar Static Domain was extremely powerful.

It touched upon the path of yin-yang fusion, and its might could not be underestimated.

"Gangzi, the dean, and Liu Erlong—two Soul Saints and one Soul Grandmaster—could form a barely Titled Douluo-level fighting force. If Teacher and Uncle Ghost could both rise another level, even a level 98 powerhouse might struggle to break free from their control."

Lu Fan silently recited in his heart, "Whenever it is overcast or rainy, an intermittent numb, itchy sensation appears around both sides of your ribs. It flares up once at noon and once at midnight. Given your current condition, each episode should last more than two full hours. And every night around the third watch, stabbing pain like needles occasionally appears at the crown of your head and the soles of your feet. If that agonizing sensation is not poison, then what is it?"

That was right.

Lu Fan was reciting the legendary Immortal Herb Redemption Code.

As the Yin Yang Dual Pot, the number one must-visit destination in Douluo Continent,

a treasured place that no one who transmigrated to Douluo Continent could possibly miss,

Lu Fan had naturally committed the Immortal Herb Redemption Code to memory.

After learning that he was in Douluo Continent,

he recited it every day to make sure he would not forget it.

After all, it could not only grant him Immortal Herbs to improve his aptitude and cultivation,

but might also allow him to recruit a Titled Douluo as a bodyguard.

Naturally, Lu Fan did not dare forget it for even a moment.

There were two ways to detoxify the poison, but Lu Fan could only offer the method of forcing the toxins into the Spirit Bones.

Because Dugu Bo would definitely not choose the other method.

As for preparing follow-up antidotes like Tang San did, that was impossible for him.

But Lu Fan also needed to consider some issues.

For instance, if he went alone, what if Dugu Bo decided to test him the way he had tested Tang San?

But if he brought Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo with him,

then it would be difficult to explain how he knew all this.

For a time, Lu Fan felt conflicted and did not know how to find a solution that satisfied both sides.

After thinking it over, Lu Fan decided that he could study some pharmacological knowledge.

That also happened to be Chrysanthemum Douluo's specialty.

He could mention it to Chrysanthemum Douluo later.

The other man certainly would not be stingy with such knowledge.

Lu Fan took out the Hundred Herbs Chart again.

Although the sections on Immortal Herbs only contained names and illustrations,

that did not mean the ordinary herbs lacked descriptions of their effects.

Lu Fan flipped through it, wanting to see whether he could find a way to resolve the poison of the Nine-Section Jade.

Unfortunately, Lu Fan did not find a solution.
