However, Xiao He Made Him-and Xiao He Undid Him.

After leaving the Pope Hall, Lin Xia took Ivysaur back to her quiet private room near the Pope's Palace.

The cold touch of the Holy Son Token still lingered in his palm, but that heavy sense of authority had been suppressed by a more urgent thirst for knowledge—the legacy left by Yue Hongsheng.

Lin Xia first took out the thick stack of manuscripts sent by Yue Guan from her Storage Soul Tool Ring and carefully placed them on the desk.

Next, Lin Xia took out another Storage Soul Tool —the very same trophy he had collected from Gui Mei, Yue Hongsheng, and the courtyard.

"Dana?"

Ivysaur curiously sniffed the Storage Soul Tool, the dark purple aura around the edge of the bud swirling slightly, as if sensing some kind of aura contained within.

"Don't rush, Ivysaur, let's see what surprise Yue Hongsheng has in store for us."

Lin Xia's lips curled into a slightly cold smile as she probed Yue Hongsheng's Storage Soul Tool with her spiritual power.

Instantly, a complex and intense energy Wave Crash his senses.

The Soul Tool's internal space was not small, but it was almost completely crammed full at the moment:

A dazzling array of poisonous specimens, various venoms in specially made crystal bottles, mineral powder shimmering with an eerie luster, dried strange poisonous insects and snakes, and even a few highly Toxic plants that have been sealed by special Soul Power and still remain active.

One of the plants, resembling a ghost claw with vines of a sickly emerald color, immediately made Lin Xia's pupils shrink—it was the juvenile Emerald Ghost King Vine Yue Hongsheng had helped him hunt down in Sunset Forest!

Upon seeing this, Lin Xia was immediately puzzled. Could it be that Yue Hongsheng went to the Emerald Forest after she left?

However, Lin Xia only thought about it briefly before giving up on it.

After all, Yue Hongsheng was in the dungeon at this moment, and he might have already committed suicide because he couldn't bear it anymore!

In addition to the items mentioned above, the Storage Soul Tool also contained test tubes, crucibles, and distillation vessels of various sizes and materials, all covered with stains of varying depths, clearly the result of long-term use.

Some rare and Toxic substances that Lin Xia had only seen in books were properly stored.

In addition, there were scattered piles of data, conjectures, and records of failures in various experiments involving mixing poisons, written in wild and messy handwriting.

This is no ordinary Spirit Saint's Storage Soul Tool.

This is clearly a treasure trove and laboratory accumulated by a drug addict over half a lifetime!

Its value, especially for Soul Master with Poison-type abilities, is immeasurable.

Lin Xia took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, picked up Yue Hongsheng's well-organized manuscript of his life's research from the desk, and began to read it.

Lin Xia read very quickly, his mental energy highly concentrated, while constantly comparing and verifying the information with the physical objects and draft notes in his Storage Soul Tool.

The manuscript begins with Yue Hongsheng's detailed analysis of his own Martial Soul, the Evil Shadow Nether Poison Chrysanthemum, and his journey of exploring the path of poison.

The text is filled with Covet for power and an obsession with poison, but it also reveals a deep sense of pain and despair.

As the reading progresses, a core concept repeatedly appears: "Life-Poison Transformation and Harmonization".

Lin Xia's gaze grew increasingly serious, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

Combining the theoretical explanations and experimental records in the manuscript, as well as the highly targeted materials in the Storage Soul Tool, especially the young Emerald Ghost King Vine, Yue Hongsheng's unusual obsession and scheming towards him and Ivysaur finally came to light!

"I see... I see!"

Lin Xia whispered, her voice carrying a hint of realization and a chilling coldness.

The root of Yue Hongsheng's problem lies in his Martial Soul Evil Shadow Nether Poison Chrysanthemum.

This Martial Soul endowed him with a powerful Poison-type, enabling him to absorb, store, and release various Toxic, and even develop a certain degree of resistance during the process of absorbing toxins.

This was an exceptionally strong talent, which allowed him to cultivate all the way to the Spirit Saint realm.

However, what brought him success also brought him failure.

The types of toxins absorbed by the Evil Shadow Nether Poison Chrysanthemum Martial Soul are too diverse, and as his cultivation level increases, the toxicity of the toxins he absorbs becomes more and more potent and bizarre.

Over time, these Toxic from different sources, with varying properties and even conflicting effects, have long exceeded the purification and resistance limits of the Martial Soul itself.

Like maggots clinging to his bones, they constantly erode the essence of his body, pollute his Soul Power, and even begin to devour his spirit.

Every time he used his Martial Soul, every time he absorbed a new poison, it was like drinking poison to quench his thirst, accelerating his body's collapse.

This is why, despite being Spirit Saint, his aura carried an unhealthy chill and a sense of decay.

Yue Hongsheng was not unaware of this.

What he studied and searched for throughout his life was a path to self-salvation.

He consulted ancient books and conducted countless dangerous experiments, and finally, in his later years, he conceived and initially verified an extremely bold and dangerous plan—"the Life-Poison Transformation and Harmonization"!

The core of this theory lies in using a highly potent Toxic with strong life force as both a catalyst and a furnace.

This special Life Poison needs to possess extremely strong inclusiveness and transformation capabilities to attract and connect with the myriad toxins deposited in his body.

Under the influence of the catalyst, and fueled by immense life force, the chaotic and conflicting toxins accumulated within his body are forcibly melted, transformed, and purified, ultimately becoming a more refined, powerful, and completely controllable Life-Bound Source Poison!

Once this process is successful, it will not only completely eliminate the fatal hidden danger of the toxins backlash in his body, but also harmonize his Soul Power, break through the Soul Power barrier, and break through to the Soul Douluo realm in one fell swoop! This Life-Bound Source Poison will become the core of his future power system.

However, the ideal is often far from reality.

The biggest challenge is—where to find a catalyst that simultaneously possesses immense vitality and extreme toxicity?

Ordinary Toxic plants or Soul Beast are either extremely toxic but lack vitality, or have abundant vitality but mediocre toxicity, or both but their attributes clash with the toxins deposited in their bodies.

Yue Hongsheng tried countless methods, including cultivating special poisonous plants, hunting powerful Poison-type Soul Beast, and even risking his life to fuse multiple Toxic, but all failed.

The Sheer Force fusion resulted in him nearly dying from the poison on the spot, and his physical condition deteriorated further.

Until Lin Xia and Ivysaur appeared at the Plant Academy!

After learning about Ivysaur's ability to balance toxins and vitality, it was like a lighthouse in the darkness, instantly illuminating Yue Hongsheng's desperate research path!

Ivysaur perfectly fits all the requirements of the introductory element in his theory.

Toxic! Its toxicity is potent and unique.

It contains extremely pure and abundant Life Energy!

This is precisely the key to harmonizing all poisons and providing power to the furnace!
