Teaching the Method of the Soul Core? Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower! (Seeking Reads!)

Dugu Bo heard this, his brows knitting tightly together as a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes:

"Your Highness, this poison pill you speak of... which kind of poison pill is it?"

Dugu Bo paused, gave a bitter laugh, and pointed to his own abdomen:

"To tell you the truth, this old man has long since condensed a poison pill within my body, which carries half of my poison cultivation.

Although this greatly alleviates the backlash pressure of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and remains of little real use."

Qian Yu chuckled softly and shook his head:

"The poison pill I speak of is nothing like that crude, shoddy thing inside your body.

The poison pill I am referring to is called a 'Soul Core'!"

"A Soul Core?"

Bibi Dong, standing to the side, was full of curiosity and could not help but ask:

"Brother Qian Yu, what is a Soul Core?"

Qian Yu turned to look at Bibi Dong, smiling as he patiently explained:

"It is a cultivation method that involves compressing soul power to the extreme, causing a qualitative change.

Usually, only those who have reached the Title Douluo level have the ability to condense one.

Once a Soul Core is condensed, soul power becomes inexhaustible.

For the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, a Soul Core can perfectly control all toxins, completely transforming the backlash into one's own power."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's breathing instantly grew heavy.

He stared fixedly at Qian Yu, as if he had grasped the last straw of hope.

Qian Yu glanced at Dugu Xin on the ground and continued:

"As for your son's current situation, his cultivation is too weak; forcing a condensation would surely result in death.

Therefore, we must first use immortal herbs to cleanse his marrow and refine his bones, combined with the previous method to temporarily suppress the toxins in his body.

It will not be too late for him to condense a Soul Core once he reaches the Title Douluo realm in the future."

At this point, Qian Yu's tone shifted, his gaze piercing sharply into Dugu Bo:

"As for you, Dugu Bo.

With your current cultivation, combined with the immortal herbs here, you can condense a Soul Core right now.

You can completely rid yourself of the agony of the backlash, and your cultivation may even advance further."

Dugu Bo's current soul power was level 88.

Refining an immortal herb to increase his level by two would not be difficult.

Qian Yu leaned down slightly, looking down at him from above, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty:

"But the prerequisite is that you must truly pledge your loyalty to me!

What I want is not a verbal promise made to save your son, but complete and utter submission."

Dugu Bo looked at the dying Dugu Xin on the ground, then at the unfathomable Qian Yu before him.

He took a deep breath, and without the slightest hesitation, he dropped to both knees, pressed his right hand together pointing toward the sky, and spoke with a resonant voice:

"I, Dugu Bo, swear today by my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul!

As long as His Highness the Holy Son can save my son's life and resolve the generational suffering of the backlash for the Dugu family.

From this day forward, Dugu Bo is willing to serve Your Highness as my master, to go through fire and water, and never refuse even at the cost of death!

If I break this oath, may my Martial Soul shatter and may I suffer a miserable death!"

Qian Yu nodded in satisfaction, a trace of appreciation flashing in his eyes:

"Very good. Remember your words today. Rise."

Having said that, Qian Yu turned and walked toward the sides of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

His gaze was like a torch, and he quickly locked onto an immortal herb that was entirely emerald green and wound like a small snake, plucking it and tossing it to Dugu Bo.

"This is Jade Phosphorous Earth Dragon Saliva; it is the most compatible with your Martial Soul.

Consume it and absorb it right here beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

With its medicinal power, it will be enough for you to break through the level ninety bottleneck.

Once you reach the Title Douluo realm, I will naturally teach you the method to condense a Soul Core."

This immortal herb was not mentioned in the original records.

But Qian Yu did not care.

Immortal herbs are treasures, and the more, the better!

Dugu Bo took the immortal herb with trembling hands, feeling the surging poison-attribute spiritual energy within it, and tears of excitement streamed down his face:

"Many thanks to my Master for the medicine!"

"Don't be in such a rush to thank me."

Qian Yu walked to the other side and plucked a pale pink flower. It had no leaves, a three-foot-long stem, and emitted a faint, delicate fragrance.

He walked to Dugu Xin's side and crushed one of the petals.

"Your son's body is too weak to withstand such overbearing medicinal power."

"This is the Aromatic Silk Beauty, capable of neutralizing all the strange poisons in the world."

"Use it to protect his heart meridians, and then combine it with my soul power to cleanse his marrow and refine his bones; that will be enough to completely suppress the toxins within his dantian."

"Once he wakes up, let him slowly cultivate to dissolve them."

Dugu Bo kowtowed repeatedly:

"Master's great kindness and virtue, Dugu Bo will never forget it as long as I live!"

"Enough, hurry up and absorb your immortal herb to break through. I don't have that much time to waste here."

Qian Yu waved his hand, signaling Dugu Bo to begin.

Watching Dugu Bo sit cross-legged and begin refining the immortal herb, Bibi Dong walked to Qian Yu's side and asked softly:

"Brother Qian Yu, what should we do now?"

Qian Yu smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping across the valley filled with exotic flowers and herbs radiating alluring halos:

"Naturally, while this father and son are healing, we should pick a few immortal herbs suitable for us."

"This is a rare treasure trove in the world; since we've come, we can't return empty-handed."

Qian Yu led Bibi Dong to a massive, pitch-black boulder.

Growing alone on the boulder was a white flower, its petals dotted with a few shocking splashes of blood red.

"Dong'er, this immortal herb is called the 'Lovesick Heartbreak Red'. It is the divine grade among immortal herbs and is most suitable for you."

Qian Yu pointed at the white flower and said softly:

"However, to pluck it, you must think of the person you love most deeply, with absolute sincerity, and spit a mouthful of heart's blood onto its petals."

"If there is even a hint of hesitation or distraction, even if you cough up blood until you die, you won't be able to move it in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, a brilliant light flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes, and she stepped forward without hesitation:

"Brother Qian Yu, I will try."

She closed her eyes, and Qian Yu's figure instantly appeared in her mind.

Although the time they had truly spent together was not long.

The shock, the care, and that overbearing sense of security Qian Yu brought her had already been etched into her bones.

In comparison, the so-called beautiful memories of her time with Yu Xiaogang.

Now seemed so childish and ridiculous, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.

Her heart could now only hold one person.

"Pfft—"

Bibi Dong channeled her soul power, forcing out a mouthful of heart's blood, which sprayed precisely onto the petals of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The fresh blood was instantly absorbed by the petals.

The next second, the white flower, which had been as firm as a rock, swayed gently and emitted a soft red light.

Then, it silently detached from the pitch-black boulder and drifted lightly into the palm of Bibi Dong's hand.

"Brother Qian Yu, I succeeded!"

Bibi Dong opened her eyes, cradling the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

A touch of tenderness flashed in Qian Yu's eyes as he reached out and gently flicked her nose:

"I knew Dong'er would definitely gain its recognition."

"This immortal herb will not only significantly increase your soul power and aptitude, but it will also help you perfectly conceal the conflict between your Twin Martial Souls."

"Sit down and absorb it quickly."

"Mm!"

Bibi Dong nodded heavily, cradling the immortal herb, and sat down cross-legged beside Qian Yu in an obedient manner.

After settling Bibi Dong, Qian Yu cast his gaze toward the intersection of the springs at the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

There, two immortal herbs, one red and one white, were emitting auras of extreme cold and extreme heat.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot..."

Qian Yu looked at the two immortal herbs and whispered to himself:

"Since I have come to this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, these two supreme immortal herbs for tempering the physical body naturally cannot be missed."

These two immortal herbs were essentially must-have items for the protagonist's visit to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

However, Qian Yu did not immediately step forward to pick them, but instead turned and walked toward another corner of the medicinal garden.

There, growing was a strange immortal herb, its entire body fiery red with a top resembling a cockscomb.

Bibi Dong, who had not yet fully entered a meditative state, opened her eyes and asked curiously:

"Brother Qian Yu, aren't you going to absorb those two Ice and Fire immortal herbs first?

What is this red one?"

Qian Yu carefully plucked the fiery red immortal herb and explained with a smile:

"This is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a potent supplement of pure yang.

The medicinal power of those two Ice and Fire immortal herbs is too extreme; the risks of absorbing them are not small."

He looked at the immortal herb in his hand, a flash of brilliance crossing his eyes:

"My second martial soul is the Seraphim, which already possesses the attribute of Ultimate Fire.

The pure fire-attribute energy contained within this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is practically tailor-made for me."

"I intend to refine it first."

Bibi Dong nodded obediently:

"I understand, Brother Qian Yu. Then you should hurry and absorb it too."

"Mn, you focus on refining the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, I will stay here and accompany you."

Qian Yu smiled slightly, then placed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower into his mouth and closed his eyes.
