Soul Bone Detoxification

However, Whale Rubber's effects were far from limited to helping with reproduction.

Dugu Feng had a flash of inspiration. Wouldn't this be a reason?

A reason to collect high-year Whale Rubber.

"Old Snake, I can't give you this. Since you need it so badly, you can buy it at the Auction House, or purchase it in a Coastal City.

"Did you forget what Hu Yanlie came here for this time? Like Old Scorpion, he came to collect Half Year's Revenue.

"We've gained another Unexpected Fortune.

"It would be best if we could buy Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber!"

Why was the Young Master so interested in Whale Rubber? A few hundred years was already enough. Even Whale Rubber that had grown for several thousand years could only be used by people with extraordinary innate gifts.

As for ten thousand years, he did not even dare to imagine it. Wouldn't someone die from doing that?

"Old Snake, this is a major matter. You must treat it as your Top Priority.

"Since Whale Rubber has such an effect, can combining it with various Medicinal Herbs improve Physical Fitness?

"Can it increase the chances of reproduction? All of this is worth researching for the family.

"This concerns the survival of our Dugu Family!"

Dugu Feng wore an extremely solemn expression.

"Young Master, you really are a genius. But, Young Master, I still have to remind you that you're still young.

"You should focus your thoughts on cultivation and grasp the Golden Age of Soul Master cultivation. You are the hope of the Dugu Family.

"Once you reach the level of a Titled Douluo, you can play however you want!"

Old Snake naturally did not believe Dugu Feng's excuse. He only felt that Dugu Feng was Too Mature and knew far too much.

Dugu Feng let out a sigh. No one will understand my painstaking efforts.

After that, the two traveled in silence. Another half a day passed before they returned to Dugu Manor.

Inside the smoke-filled Ancestral Hall, they saw Dugu Shuo.

Dugu Shuo was engaged in Seated Cultivation.

"Feng'er, you're back!" A hint of expectation flashed through Dugu Shuo's eyes.

Dugu Feng naturally understood what his cheap father was expecting.

He immediately activated Martial Soul Possession, displaying his Yellow Soul Ring.

Old Snake also explained how Dugu Feng had absorbed a six-hundred-year Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Beast, as well as everything involving Tuoba Lan and Hu Yanlie.

"Absorbing a six-hundred-year Soul Beast as your First Soul Ring should be a benefit brought by the early Poison Attack.

"It caused Feng'er's body to undergo extensive Tempering. This was a Blessing in Disguise.

"However, the Innate Toxin brought by a six-hundred-year Jade Phosphorous Serpent is extremely potent. Resisting future Poison Attacks will definitely become even more painful!" Dugu Shuo said thoughtfully.

This was the principle of Give and Take. There were Pros and Cons.

"Dad, don't worry. Last night's Poison Attack didn't reach the limits of my body and Spiritual Power, so it won't cause much damage to me!" Dugu Feng hurriedly said.

Dugu Shuo and Old Snake were Somewhat Surprised. They believed Dugu Feng would not lie to them about something concerning life and death.

The two exchanged glances, both overjoyed.

This gave Dugu Feng Time to Grow. With Dugu Feng's Innate Full Soul Power talent, his cultivation speed would certainly be extremely fast.

"Feng'er, you will definitely become a Titled Douluo!"

At that moment, Dugu Shuo firmly believed that Dugu Feng was the future of the Dugu Family.

Overcome with emotion, he immediately knelt before the Family Memorial Tablet.

When he knelt, Dugu Feng and Old Snake also knelt.

This cheap father is too obsessed. He reports to the Ancestors at the slightest opportunity.

Sure enough, after Dugu Shuo muttered for a while and kowtowed several times, he finally managed to Calm Down.

Dugu Feng also took out the Soul Bone, and Dugu Shuo accepted it.

As soon as the Soul Bone appeared, it illuminated the smoke-filled Ancestral Hall, making it somewhat brighter.

Dugu Shuo stared intently at the Soul Bone. From Old Snake's description earlier, he already knew that it was a defensive Skull Bone.

"The Soul Power Fluctuation of this Soul Bone is extremely strong. It has already reached the ten-thousand-year level!" Dugu Shuo's eyes burned with excitement.

With Dugu Feng's horizons, he naturally had his eyes fixed on Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.

But Dugu Shuo and Old Snake did not possess God's Perspective.

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone could already be regarded as the Heirloom Treasure of a family.

"Feng'er, absorb it. Once you absorb the Soul Bone, you'll also have greater power to protect yourself!" Dugu Shuo handed the Soul Bone back.

Dugu Feng naturally did not take it. His expression remained calm as he said, "Dad, Old Snake, listen to me about the Soul Bone. I have a theory—a theory that could resolve our family's Martial Soul Defect!"

"Go on!" Dugu Shuo was Somewhat Surprised.

"Soul Bones are produced by Soul Beasts and are extraordinarily precious. During last night's battle, I discovered one of their properties: they aren't afraid of toxins.

"After Xiahou Mang was poisoned, his entire body turned into pus. Only this Soul Bone continued to shine brilliantly, without suffering the slightest damage.

"I believe Soul Bones are treasures that exist between reality and illusion. If we force the toxins in our bodies into the Soul Bone, wouldn't we be able to stop enduring the torment of the toxins?"

On the way back, Dugu Feng had already thought of a reason.

Moreover, this reason was perfectly logical, so he did not need to worry about Dugu Shuo becoming suspicious.

As for using a Skull Bone to bear the toxins—wasn't that courting death?

At least Dugu Bo used his Skull Bone to bear the toxins. His Soul Bone came from the Serpent Empress Medusa and was also a Skull Bone.

Old Snake let out an astonished cry. "The Young Master is so meticulous. To think he could come up with this from Xiahou Mang's death. This old servant is impressed!" Regardless of whether it would work, he felt that Dugu Feng was simply monstrous.

Dugu Shuo also froze. He merely felt that Dugu Feng's theory made a great deal of sense.

"Dad, absorb this Soul Bone. My strength is still shallow, and I can endure the torment of the toxins for now.

"If you absorb this Soul Bone, resolve the threat of the toxins, and advance your strength further, the family will be able to develop for a long time!"

Dugu Feng urged him on. He naturally could not say that he looked down on this Soul Bone.

"Clan Leader, absorb it. The toxin backlash at the Soul Sage stage is already extremely powerful. Moreover, your first four Spirit Rings came from hunting four types of Poison Attribute Soul Beasts. The power of the Mixed Poison is terrifying, and it will inevitably erupt completely one day. No matter what, you must try to detoxify yourself.

"The situation on the continent is not peaceful. Even the Elephant Armor Sect is preparing to submit to the Spirit Hall. The family needs the Clan Leader to break through again!"

Old Snake also urged him. Dugu Shuo was likewise a Soul Sage, and his Soul Power cultivation was behind that of the leaders of the major factions. He relied entirely on his Poison Technique to hold on.

Dugu Shuo glanced at Dugu Feng. What he saw was calmness.

Then he looked at Old Snake's expectant expression.

That cold face rarely showed any emotion, but now it did. "Since that's the case, I'll absorb this Soul Bone. We'll see whether Feng'er's theory works or not!"

Dugu Shuo was a decisive man.

He immediately sat down cross-legged.

He began guiding the Skull Bone with his Spiritual Power.

The yellow light on the Soul Bone connected bit by bit with Dugu Shuo's head.

As the light from the Skull Bone continued pouring in, the entire Soul Bone transformed into a skull the same size as Dugu Shuo's head.

Then the Soul Bone gradually drew closer, turned into an illusion, and merged into Dugu Shuo's head.

Seeing this, Dugu Feng let out a sigh of relief.

The brief Soul Power Fluctuation Dugu Shuo had released just now was no stronger than Xiahou Mang or Tuoba Lan.

Although the toxins of the Dugu Family were fearsome, and Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, those who did not understand the situation might assume that the two sides were one and the same.

But family members knew their own circumstances best.

The strongest person in the family was only a Soul Sage. Their cultivation was indeed somewhat lacking.

Hopefully, my cheap father, Dugu Shuo, can advance his strength a little further!
