Soul Core Method

"Little Monster, from your words just now, before I brought out this Snake Pill, you were confident you could help the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul control its poison, right?"

Hearing this, Su Ming directly raised his hands and clapped twice.

"As expected of someone who can become a Titled Douluo, none of them are simple. You've indeed grasped the key point immediately."

"That's right, I do have a method of control different from your Snake Pill, and it's also a way to perfectly control the poison within the body."

"And Old Monster, you can also use this method. You're not that old. After using the Soul Core Method to control the poison within your body, you can live for at least another 200 years."

"If Dugu Yan's martial soul truly evolves into a dragon-type martial soul, do you still want to pass down your top-tier Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul?"

Speaking of this, Su Ming's tone shifted.

"But I can't show it to you. This is a core secret of my sect, unless you join my sect."

Hearing Su Ming finish, Dugu Bo immediately understood Su Ming's meaning and laughed heartily:

"I knew you were saying so much earlier, about perfect control, evolutionary direction, and transforming into a dragon, all to wait for me here. Fine, tell me the name of your sect? I'll join."

Hearing Dugu Bo agree to join, Su Ming said to him with a smile:

"Old Monster, I have no choice. After all, these are all things I've worked hard to research. If others knew, they'd just snatch them. So, isn't this finding you, a backer, to join?"

"The sect is called the Grand Xuan Sect. Currently, there are only two people, one is me, and the other is Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng is the experimental subject for martial soul evolution I told you about before."

"If you join now, you'll be the sect's Guardian Elder."

Hearing that the sect currently only had two people, Dugu Bo wasn't too surprised. After all, he had learned Su Ming's basic information before, knowing he came from a small village. After graduating from the Primary Academy, he went directly to Shrek Academy. Later, Shrek moved to Heaven Dou City and merged with Blue Tyrant Academy, forming the current Shrek Advanced Academy.

"Alright, Little Monster, since I've joined the Grand Xuan Sect, can I see that secret method now?"

"No problem!"

With that, Su Ming took out the information on the condensation method of the Soul Core and its specific effects from his storage Soul Tool and handed it to Dugu Bo.

Just as Dugu Bo took the Soul Core information, Dugu Yan next to him woke up after refining the Blood Vitality Pill.

Seeing this, Su Ming said to Dugu Bo:

"Old Monster, you take the information and sit there to read it slowly. I'll go help Dugu Yan detoxify."

"Alright, hurry up and detoxify Yan Yan, that's important."

As soon as Dugu Yan opened her eyes, she saw Su Ming walking towards her. She then turned her head and saw Dugu Bo sitting on a stool, with a book on the table, watching it intently.

"Since you're awake, quickly stand up and feel your body. How do you feel?"

Hearing Su Ming's words, Dugu Yan also came back to her senses. She quickly got up and stretched her limbs. She clearly felt that the coldness in her body had lessened, and her whole body was now warm.

"I feel the original coldness in my body has lessened, and my whole body is now warm."

"That's right. After all, you just had bloodletting and ate Blood Ginseng. Your body must be warm. Alright, I'll draw blood two more times, and the treatment will be complete."

"Okay, follow me."

As Su Ming spoke, he summoned his martial soul, released two clouds, and jumped onto them. He then turned to Dugu Yan and said:

"This is my first soul skill. It can carry others to fly. You just jump on, and it will connect with your heart."

After hearing Su Ming's words, Dugu Yan also jumped directly onto it. The moment she jumped on, she felt a connection with the cloud beneath her feet.

Finally, the two flew to the side of the poisonous barrier surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Under Su Ming's instructions, Dugu Yan released all her Soul Power through her martial soul into the poisonous barrier.

After releasing it, the two flew back and began to draw blood from Dugu Yan again. After drawing blood, it was the same as before: eat a Blood Vitality Pill.

After dealing with Dugu Yan's matters, Su Ming returned to the table and sat down.

Seeing Su Ming sit down after finishing, Dugu Bo asked:

"How is Yan Yan's condition?"

Su Ming said:

"Don't worry. I originally planned to draw blood two more times, but now it's not necessary. After observing during the recent bloodletting, when she wakes up later, she'll eat another Detox Pill."

"After eating that Detox Pill, the poison in her body will be almost cleared. Even if there's some residue, it won't be a major issue. Then, she'll eat that immortal herb, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and then choose an evolutionary direction."

After speaking, Su Ming immediately asked back:

"Old Monster, how is this? This Soul Core Method, what do you think?"

"It's quite good. I've managed to understand it. The condensation of this Soul Core is from gas to liquid to solid, forming a core. It requires rotation and compression, and finally forms a Soul Power core in the dantian, commonly known as a Soul Core."

Su Ming said:

"That's right. After the Soul Core is formed, it can speed up Soul Power recovery and autonomously absorb the elemental energy of heaven and earth. If your Poison Pill condenses a Soul Core, it should be very fast. After all, although your Poison Pill is a semi-finished product, it still contains a lot of elemental energy."

"There's another method. I also studied the Poison Pill you gave me yesterday. After comparing it with this Soul Core condensation method, I've also figured out the method for condensing it into a pill."

With that, Su Ming took out the method he had modified from the Dragon Clan's Pill Condensation Method last night, which was suitable for human cultivation and condensation, and handed it to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo took the information and carefully examined it, finding that both methods were roughly the same, essentially condensing a core in the dantian.

Seeing Dugu Bo lost in thought, unsure which method he would choose, Su Ming interrupted:

"Alright, Old Monster, Dugu Yan will wake up soon. Since you're not sure which method to use for now, let's first choose Dugu Yan's martial soul evolutionary direction."

Dugu Bo, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked at Dugu Yan, who was meditating and refining nearby.

"Fine, let's let Yan Yan choose once she wakes up."

"No problem, I'll go pick the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid now so she can eat it as soon as she wakes up."

With that, Su Ming walked toward the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, reaching it and following the extraction method from his notes.

Su Ming took a small metal knife from his Soul Tool and sliced it off right at the root, then carefully used metal tweezers to pick it up and place it into a jade box to prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating.

After packing it away, he grabbed a handful of soil from the side and covered the base of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid; in ten thousand years, it would be another immortal herb.

Actually, Dugu Yan had just woken up, so Su Ming hurried over with the jade box.

Walking up to the two of them, Su Ming opened the jade box directly.

"There's nothing special about how to consume this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid; just swallow it in one go."

"You must be slow when refining it—three days and three nights would be best. That way, its residual medicinal power will permeate your entire body, and your cultivation speed will accelerate until you reach over level seventy."

"Right, take this before you eat it."

Su Ming then took out one of the two Detox Pills he had refined using his Golden Finger and handed it to Dugu Yan.
