The Art of the Poison Core, Antidote Successful!

The next day.

In the small courtyard of the medicinal garden.

After finishing a simple breakfast, Yu Shuangbai called Dugu Bo and his granddaughter over.

The purpose was simple.

To fulfill the promise he had made to them.

According to Yu Shuangbai's original plan.

He intended to use the Ultimate Ice power possessed by his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul to help the pair eliminate the Jade Phosphor Serpent poison within their bodies.

He would not resort to methods that forced the poison into the bones.

That would be like drinking poison to quench thirst, burying a ticking time bomb within their bodies.

However, after receiving a reminder from the Ice Dragon King, Yu Shuangbai had indeed found a better solution.

"Such trivial snake poison, failing to control it properly and instead letting it backfire to harm oneself?"

"It is truly the height of absurdity."

The Ice Dragon King had spoken with disdain upon hearing of the Dugu Family curse.

Under Yu Shuangbai's inquiry.

This powerhouse of the Dragon Clan taught him a method.

It was a way for Dugu Bo and his granddaughter to transform the ticking time bomb buried in their bodies into their own source of strength.

It was not complicated.

After a brief explanation from the Ice Dragon King, Yu Shuangbai had roughly grasped the execution techniques of this method.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan sat on separate meditation cushions.

Their expressions were filled with anticipation.

Under their gaze, Yu Shuangbai spoke softly:

"Senior Dugu, Miss Dugu, I am about to infuse a surge of power into you."

"Do not resist."

"This power will help you control the Jade Phosphor Serpent poison within your bodies; use your own power to follow the flow of mine."

"Understood."

The grandfather and granddaughter nodded in response.

With instructions given.

Yu Shuangbai raised both hands, placing his palms against their backs respectively.

Pale blue energy surged from his palms, entering the bodies of the Dugu pair.

Both of their bodies trembled.

Instinctively, they wanted to resist this power that did not belong to them.

But remembering Yu Shuangbai's instructions, they hurriedly suppressed the impulse.

After receiving the sacrifice of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

Beyond gaining fire-attribute power, the ice-attribute power Yu Shuangbai possessed had reached an unprecedented level.

It was this ice-attribute power he was utilizing now.

The power of fire was manic and highly destructive, making it unsuitable for this process.

Dugu Yan's cultivation was not high, placing her at the same level as Yu Shuangbai.

Consequently, after Yu Shuangbai's power entered, the Jade Phosphor Serpent poison in her body offered almost no resistance, shivering in fear.

Like a marionette on strings, it allowed itself to be manipulated by Yu Shuangbai's power.

However, things were not so simple on Dugu Bo's side.

The poison-attribute power within him was naturally inferior to Yu Shuangbai's ice power in terms of quality.

But Dugu Bo was a genuine Titled Douluo.

His cultivation far surpassed that of Yu Shuangbai, who was only at the Soul Elder level.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent poison within him had accumulated to a terrifying degree alongside his rising cultivation and advancing years.

Though it fell short in quality, it made up for everything in sheer quantity.

Therefore, handling Dugu Bo was entirely different from the ease he felt with Dugu Yan.

If it were before, he would certainly have needed to expend a significant amount of effort.

But now...

"Senior Ice Dragon King."

"Understood."

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Ice Dragon King responded with a hum.

The next moment.

Yu Shuangbai's gaze shifted.

The previous gentleness vanished, replaced by a sense of vicissitudes and depth born from the passage of time and the changing of the world.

The next moment.

A vast force of extreme cold flowed from the palm of Yu Shuangbai's left hand into Dugu Bo's body.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, accumulated over years of Titled Douluo-level cultivation, dared not act out in the slightest before this immense power of extreme cold.

Like a marionette on strings, it allowed itself to be guided by Yu Shuangbai's power.

Feeling the changes in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison within him, Dugu Bo was incomparably shocked.

As an old man who had been tormented by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison for nearly a century.

He knew all too well just how tyrannical the poison within his body was.

In his entire life, this was the first time he had ever seen this serpent poison act so obediently and tamely.

And it was being suppressed by the power of a mere Soul Elder!

Little did he know.

The power Yu Shuangbai was currently wielding was no longer at the level of a Soul Elder.

This was the power of the Ice Dragon King!

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were once powerhouses at the half-step God King level.

Even after their fall, and despite the fact that their stored power had dwindled to less than one-tenth over the passage of time.

That amount was still terrifyingly vast.

It was not something Yu Shuangbai could fully absorb in a short period.

Therefore, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had temporarily sealed that power within Yu Shuangbai's body.

Like spring rain moistening things silently, it nourished his body without a sound.

And at this moment, what the Ice Dragon King was channeling was precisely this power sealed within Yu Shuangbai.

This was power that truly belonged to the god level!

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison within Dugu Bo was, in the end, only at the Titled Douluo level.

Before a god-level power, it naturally could not run rampant, becoming as docile as a house cat.

Beyond this, this power was also Yu Shuangbai's trump card for survival.

In a desperate situation where he had no other choice, he could rouse the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings within his Sea of Consciousness to unseal it, temporarily unleashing power far exceeding his own cultivation.

As the Ice Dragon King took action.

The process became incredibly smooth.

Dugu Yan, whose toxins had accumulated less, was the first to complete the process.

She opened her beautiful eyes, feeling the rotating, emerald-green circular object at her dantian, a flash of excitement crossing her eyes.

Following the guidance of Yu Shuangbai's power, she had successfully established a circulation path for the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison within her body.

It would condense the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison produced by her Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul into a Poison Core via this path.

Not only would it no longer backfire or harm her own body.

But she could also draw upon it at will during battle, achieving an increase in combat effectiveness.

Dugu Yan now felt that with the Poison Core, her strength had definitely ascended to a new level!

And not long after.

As Yu Shuangbai lowered his other palm.

Dugu Bo's core condensation was also completely finished.

He slowly opened his eyes.

He felt the changes within his body.

The comfort brought by a body no longer affected by the serpent poison felt so surreal.

Yet, it reminded him that he had succeeded!

He had successfully cast off the threat of that damned serpent poison!

He had transformed it into his own aid!

Feeling the highly toxic Poison Core contained at his dantian.

At this moment, with his long-cherished wish fulfilled, Dugu Bo's heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

His gaunt palms trembled uncontrollably.

Complex feelings constantly battered his heart.

Immediately following.

Dugu Bo's aura suddenly surged, rising by several notches.

"What is this?"

Noticing the abnormality in her grandfather, Dugu Yan could not help but feel a sense of worry.

Standing to the side, Yu Shuangbai, having already returned to his Sea of Consciousness, crossed his arms over his chest. Watching the changes in Dugu Bo, he calmly reassured her:

"Miss Dugu need not worry."

"Senior Dugu is merely experiencing a breakthrough in his cultivation after finally resolving the snake venom that has plagued him for so many years, which has also completely unlocked the bottleneck in his spirit power that had remained stagnant for ages."

"He is simply undergoing a breakthrough in his cultivation level."
