Three Strategies to Detoxify, Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra

Although Xing Tian had never dated a girl in his past life, he was not ignorant of such matters; he simply had no interest in them.

In his previous life, a girl had pursued him for a long time, but because their pursuits were different, she eventually gave up.

Xing Tian said, "Senior Dugu, a twisted melon is not sweet."

Dugu Bo shamelessly replied, "It may not be sweet, but it quenches thirst. Besides, if you don't twist it, you won't even have a bitter melon. Regardless, this old man doesn't care!"

Dugu Bo was determined to bring Dugu Yan and Xing Tian together. Even though he knew this would wrong Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling, he was willing to abandon his principles for the sake of his granddaughter.

At this moment, Xing Tian's words struck him like a thunderbolt.

"Senior Dugu, I believe I can help you detoxify."

"What!"

Dugu Bo was incredulous. "You say you can detoxify?"

"Yes." Xing Tian held up three fingers. "And I have three strategies: a lower, a middle, and an upper."

Dugu Bo's mouth hung open wide enough to swallow an egg. "There are actually three? Speak quickly, what are they?"

Xing Tian crossed his arms, looking relaxed. "Then Senior Dugu must promise me to retract your previous decision."

"Fine! Just hurry up and say it."

Xing Tian did not expect Dugu Bo to agree so readily, but Dugu Bo had not given up.

The reason he was so eager for success was that he feared Dugu Yan would leave with regrets.

However, if Dugu Yan's poison were cured, she would have a better body and plenty of time to cultivate feelings with Xing Tian. Dugu Bo believed in Dugu Yan's temperament, beauty, and talent.

Xing Tian introduced, "The lower strategy is to find two top-tier herbs, one extremely hot and one extremely cold, and consume them together to refine them. The toxins in your body will be dissolved immediately. However, such herbs are hard to find, and finding two sets is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Moreover, the effect is too thorough; it will also dissolve your poison-based cultivation."

Dugu Bo shook his head. "That won't do. Most of my strength relies on my poison arts. Without them, my combat power wouldn't even match a Title Douluo. As for Yanyan, she is still young and her cultivation is shallow, so this method could be considered. Continue."

"The upper strategy is this!"

This time, Xing Tian did not explain his upper strategy directly but tossed a small booklet to Dugu Bo, on which four large characters were written—Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra.

Dugu Bo glanced at Xing Tian and began to flip through it. The more he read, the more shocked he became. "What do you mean?"

Xing Tian replied, "This Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra is a poison art I discovered alongside the Rejuvenation Art. To speak disrespectfully, while your poison arts are strong, compared to the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra, they are like mud compared to clouds!"

Xing Tian was, of course, lying; this Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra had been gifted to him by the Medicine Fairy, the heir to Medicine King Valley in his past life.

The predecessor of Medicine King Valley was Ten Thousand Poisons Manor. The original master of Ten Thousand Poisons Manor, the Poison Hand Medicine God, had spent his entire life compiling two miraculous books—the Medicine Canon and the Poison Canon.

The Poison Canon was based on the principles of Yin and Yang, constructing a systematic framework for poison arts that covered toxicology, methods of poison creation and application, and supporting martial arts, with the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra at its core.

Later, Ten Thousand Poisons Manor declined, and the master's lineage was hunted by enemies. The Poison Canon became a fragmented text, though the core Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra remained intact.

The master's lineage eventually changed their names and went into hiding in a mysterious valley to establish Medicine King Valley. From then on, they only practiced medicine and stopped using poison, so the Poison Canon was sealed away.

At that time, the Medicine King was severely wounded by a powerful expert and was in critical condition, requiring various rare herbs recorded in the Medicine Canon to save his life. His only daughter, the Medicine Fairy, set out from the valley without hesitation to find the herbs.

Naturally, such rare treasures attracted the covetous eyes of various experts. When the Medicine Fairy was besieged, Xing Tian intervened and saved her.

However, Xing Tian's goal was not to save her, but to obtain the martial arts possessed by two of the experts besieging her—the Esoteric Yama Art and the Yama Command Evil Art.

Yet, this act incurred a debt of romance, as the Medicine Fairy fell deeply in love with Xing Tian and began to pursue him.

However, the Medicine Fairy was the Medicine King's only bloodline. The Medicine King was aged, and although he had been saved, his foundation was damaged and his lifespan greatly reduced; she bore the future of the entire Medicine King Valley on her shoulders.

Xing Tian, however, pursued freedom, the pinnacle of martial arts, and the defeat of all righteous experts; he could not stay in Medicine King Valley, so their relationship ended without a result.

Due to Xing Tian's life-saving grace, with the Medicine King's consent, the Medicine Fairy gifted Xing Tian a Ten Thousand Year Ginseng Emperor from Medicine King Valley to help him break through, and she gave him the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra after organizing the fragmented Poison Canon.

It was also because of the Medicine Fairy, the Medicine King, and the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra that Xing Tian had become quite knowledgeable about herbs and poisons.

Hearing Xing Tian's disrespectful words, Dugu Bo was not angry. "You are right. This Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra writes: All things in the world are derived from Yin and Yang, and toxicology cannot escape this law. Therefore, the highest realm of poison arts is the dual cultivation of Yin and Yang, refining the heart into a poison sac to store toxins. The more poison the heart accumulates, the more powerful the poison arts become. Once mastered, all poisons in the world can be used by me."

"Exactly!"

Dugu Bo was quite moved, even dropping his self-reference: "You gave me such a miraculous art directly; I don't know what to say."

Xing Tian interrupted, "Senior Dugu, I am simply not interested in practicing this art, and the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra is not that easy to master."

"Indeed."

Dugu Bo looked at the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra in his hands, lost in thought. "The process of practicing this art is extremely dangerous. A slight mistake, and one's flesh and blood will dissolve into nothingness. Moreover, once unleashed, it does not distinguish between friend and foe, attacking indiscriminately."

"I am too deeply poisoned; trying to master this art would be a hundred times more dangerous than for an ordinary person. Although Yanyan's symptoms are milder, her talent is slightly inferior to mine, so whether she can master it remains to be seen."

Xing Tian continued, "My middle strategy also relies on the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra."

Dugu Bo was also a master of poison, and having just studied the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra, he immediately understood, a green light flashing in his eyes. "You mean a poison sac?"

Xing Tian nodded. "Correct. The reason you are being backlashed by the poison, aside from the unique nature of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison and the flaws in your poison arts, is most importantly that your Martial Soul is a beast Martial Soul."

"Although you are a Title Douluo and can use your Martial Soul without Martial Soul Possession, you couldn't before. Every time you used Martial Soul Possession, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison would infect you, and it was a deep fusion that became a part of your body."

"If your Martial Soul were an item Martial Soul, this wouldn't be an issue. Therefore, you only need to transfer the toxins in your body into a poison sac, just like a poisonous spider or snake."

"To withstand the erosion of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, this poison sac can likely only be a Soul Bone!"

"Your problem is quite severe; you cannot directly use soul power to force the poison into a Soul Bone. You must use specific medicinal guidance to gradually filter it and concentrate it into the Soul Bone. This is a long process."

"However, Sister Yan's situation is milder, so it should be much faster for her."
