Life-Poison Transformation and Harmonization... Use Life Poison as a Catalyst to Harmonize Ten Thousand Poisons!
Most importantly, this power originates from the Martial Soul and is closely connected to the Soul Master, possessing extremely strong plasticity and growth potential!
One can only imagine the ecstasy Yue Hongsheng felt at that moment.
He immediately regarded Lin Xia as the only hope to solve his own chronic illness and open the door to Soul Douluo, a living, growing antidote and catalyst.
Yue Hongsheng's initial plan was indeed to raise them in captivity, provide resources, and allow Lin Xia and Ivysaur to grow quickly. He took Lin Xia to hunt Emerald Ghost King Vine so that Ivysaur could absorb its Soul Ring, obtain purer wood/poison dual-attribute power, and acquire the Soul Skill Life Poison.
The existence of this Soul Skill will allow Lin Xia and Ivysaur to more gently balance the needs of the impurities in his body when they are refining medicine.
Once Ivysaur has grown to a certain stage, and the power of its Life Poison and the vitality it contains have reached their peak, then you can extract this power to perform its Life-Poison Transformation and Harmonization ritual.
But Lin Xia's vigilance and composure far exceeded his expectations.
Lin Xia Frisk too early the undisguised greed and madness in Yue Hongsheng's eyes, the way he looked at a precious experimental subject.
This made Lin Xia feel a deadly threat, and she chose to flee without hesitation.
Lin Xia's escape completely disrupted Yue Hongsheng's plans.
As the "good medicine" was about to fly away, the pain of his own toxins backfiring intensified day by day, and the despair of no hope for advancement gnawed at him. Yue Hongsheng could no longer restrain himself.
So he took a desperate gamble, tore off his mask of hypocrisy, and began a relentless manhunt.
He had to capture Lin Xia, even if the "medicinal ingredient" wasn't mature enough, he had to Sheer Force the experiment to proceed!
This is his only chance to survive and to go further.
"Hehe..."
Lin Xia put down the manuscript, looked at the lush green Ghost King Vine sapling in the Storage Soul Tool, and let out a soft laugh with an ambiguous meaning. There was not much anger in the laugh, but rather a trace of cold emotion.
"Dana?"
Sensing its owner's emotional fluctuations, Ivysaur gently nuzzled him with its head.
"I'm fine, Ivysaur."
Lin Xia patted her companion's head, her eyes deep.
"It's just... I'm just feeling a little emotional. No one who can climb to the position of Soul Saint step by step is really simple. Behind everyone, there are hidden struggles, trump cards and... their own stories that may be crazy or tragic."
Yue Hongsheng is undoubtedly a ruthless character and a genius in the art of poison.
His ability to persist in his research despite the pain of his body being eroded by countless poisons, conceiving the almost fanciful theory of "Life-Poison Transformation and Harmonization," and putting it into practice, is astonishing in its obsession and talent.
All the plans and pursuits undertaken in an attempt to save themselves, driven by the instincts of "survival" and "strength," are logically consistent and ruthless in their methods.
"His failure was not due to a lack of thorough planning, nor was it due to insufficient strength."
Lin Xia summarized softly.
"He lost for two reasons: first, he was unlucky to encounter a medicinal ingredient like me who was overly cautious yet incredibly fast; second, he underestimated the power and determination of the Spirit Hall."
If Lin Xia hadn't joined the Spirit Hall, or had joined a weaker force...
If Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu didn't value Lin Xia so much.
If the pursuit of Lin Xia had gone a little easier...
Perhaps, at this moment, Yue Hongsheng has truly resolved his own hidden dangers, stepped into the realm of Soul Douluo, and become a giant in the path of poison.
But reality doesn't offer "what ifs".
One wrong step, and the whole game is lost.
Yue Hongsheng's story, along with his life's accumulation and unfinished research, ultimately transformed into the manuscripts on Lin Xia's desk and the Last Resort in her Storage Soul Tool, becoming a stepping stone for her to reach greater heights.
"Spirit Saint... Soul Douluo..."
Lin Xia murmured, her fingers tracing the complex Soul Power execution diagrams and toxin fusion methods for "Life-Poison Transformation and Harmonization" on the manuscript, her eyes gleaming with contemplation.
"This legacy, especially this theory... may not be entirely without value."
Lin Xia shifted her gaze from the manuscript, her mind still swirling with the theory of "Life-Poison Transformation and Harmonization".
Although he now possesses the ability to transform toxins into life force, Yue Hongsheng's lifelong research, especially the complex deductions regarding the types, proportions, energy levels, and conversion efficiency of toxins, has allowed him to glimpse deeper possibilities.
'Transformation of poisons... using the Life Poison as a catalyst, harmonizing countless other poisons...'
Lin Xia's fingertips unconsciously tapped the edge of the manuscript.
The core of this theory lies in the need for a sufficiently powerful and inclusive "furnace" or "catalyst." If, in the future, we could obtain those immortal Immortal Herb containing Ultimate Attribute from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...
'Perhaps we could actually try to put this theory into practice to new heights? For example... creating a controllable antidote pill that can transform all poisons, or a poison-aiding pill for cultivation?'
This thought warmed Lin Xia's heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
It's too early to think about these things now.
Right now, what's even more valuable are the ready-made "treasures" in Yue Hongsheng's Storage Soul Tool —mountains of rare poisonous flowers and herbs, and some exotic poisons!
Lin Xia composed herself and temporarily put away her ideas about the future.
Lin Xia picked up the Storage Soul Tool, probed it with his spiritual power, Lock-On onto a poisonous plant with an eerie shape, a purplish-black body, and fine serrations on the edges of its leaves— the Ghost Sawtooth Orchid.
This is a Toxic plant that Yue Hongsheng noted in his notes. It can erode Soul Power, paralyze nerves, and pose a fatal threat to those below the Soul Elder.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xia took it out directly.
The poisonous herb felt icy cold to the touch; its chilling toxins seemed to try to penetrate the skin almost instantly upon contact!
Lin Xia clearly felt a tingling and cold sensation spreading rapidly upwards along the meridians of her fingers, and an abnormal bluish-black tinge even appeared at the point of contact with her skin.
However, this attack lasted only a moment!
Buzz!
Within Lin Xia's body, a vibrant green light instinctively shone, activating the power of the Life Poison.
The deadly Toxic that had been trying to erode the body seemed to have met its nemesis, and was enveloped, decomposed, and transformed by this vibrant green energy, just as ice and snow melt away!
The bluish-black color quickly faded, the numbness disappeared, and in its place, a gentle and pure Life Energy returned to Lin Xia's body, not only dispelling the discomfort but also giving him a slight boost in spirits.
"It really works!"
Lin Xia looked at the Ghost Sawtooth Orchid in her hand, which seemed to have lost some of its luster, and then felt the slight increase in vitality within her body. A smile appeared on her lips.
This ability to transform poison into energy is simply the nemesis of poisons, and also a miraculous skill for rapidly replenishing life force.
Just then, Lin Xia noticed that Ivysaur's scarlet eyes were fixed intently on the poisonous herb in his hand. The huge flower bud opened and closed slightly, and the dark purple halo originating from the Rakshasa Divine Power on its back seemed to flow faster, conveying a kind of... Covet? Or even a hint of... hunger?
Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat.
Ivysaur possesses strong resistance to poison and the ability to absorb toxins for training. Back in the Plant Academy, it was able to devour poisonous gas to strengthen itself.
Now, it has not only evolved, but its Poison-type nature has been greatly enhanced by the Rakshasa Divine Power. A strange space has also been opened up inside the flower bud, so its Covet for and tolerance to poison must have reached a new level!
"Ivysaur!"
Lin Xia handed the Ghost Sawtooth Orchid in her hand to it, with a smile that conveyed a hint of inquiry and encouragement.
"Want to give it a try? Let's see how far you can go."
"Da na!"
