Transformation! Dugu Bo's Gratitude, the Grace of Rebirth!

Dugu Bo's body suddenly tensed.

The deadly poison that had been hidden deep within his flesh and blood for years was stripped away thread by thread.

The jade-green poison flowed upward along his meridians.

Wherever it passed, countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of his meridians.

His fourth blood-red soul ring lit up.

"All Things Revive, Life Divine Domain."

Jade-green life radiance enveloped the entire valley.

The moment his meridians were damaged, they were swiftly repaired by life energy.

Stripping away.

Repairing.

The two processes proceeded simultaneously.

A heavy sheen of sweat appeared on Dugu Bo's forehead.

The green poison markings on the surface of his body gradually faded.

Half an hour later.

All the deadly poison within his internal organs had been separated.

An hour later.

The poison in his bones and meridians was also drawn out by the Nine-Colored Divine Light.

All the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison gathered at Dugu Bo's head, forming a mass of dark green light.

"Activate your soul bone."

Long Tian spoke up to remind him.

The Medusa Head Soul Bone immediately released its radiance.

A bizarre face appeared above Dugu Bo's forehead.

Drawn by the soul bone, the dark green poison slowly began to enter it.

The patterns on the surface of the soul bone gradually turned ink-green.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled behind Dugu Bo.

Freed from the restraints of his body, the deadly poison became even more condensed.

His nine soul rings also released a powerful glow at that moment.

Boom!

Rank ninety-one Soul Power erupted in full.

The poisonous mist above the valley rapidly spread outward, only to stop at the edge of the Life Divine Domain.

Dugu Yan hurriedly raised a hand to shield herself from the oncoming wave of Soul Power.

"Grandfather's aura has grown stronger?"

Long Tian did not withdraw the Life Divine Domain.

The last wisps of residual poison were expelled from Dugu Bo's nails and hair.

His originally dark green hair gradually lightened in color.

His withered skin regained its luster as well.

After being repaired by the life element, the meridians within his body were tougher than before.

Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes.

Jade-green light flashed through his gaze.

The numbness and stabbing pain that had troubled him for years had completely vanished.

He could no longer feel even the slightest poison corroding his flesh, bones, or internal organs.

All the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison had been stored within the Medusa Head Soul Bone.

With a single thought, he could summon it at any time.

Its toxicity was even stronger than before.

Dugu Bo raised both hands and carefully sensed the changes in his body.

"It really has been cured."

"The poison in this old man's body has truly all been cured!"

The green-haired elder stood up.

Rank ninety-one Soul Power flowed smoothly through his meridians.

The bottleneck that had not budged for years also showed signs of breaking through at this moment.

Dugu Bo looked at Long Tian.

"This old man tried for decades, yet I could not resolve the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison."

"You used only two hours to transfer all the poison into the soul bone."

Long Tian withdrew his hands.

"Your poison was not difficult to cure."

"The real difficulty was repairing your body while preserving your poison arts."

"If not for the Life Divine Domain, it would indeed have taken longer."

Dugu Yan hurried to her grandfather's side.

"Is there really no problem at all now?"

Dugu Bo raised his palm.

A mass of ink-green poisonous mist slowly gathered.

The poison mist no longer came from his flesh and blood, but directly from the Medusa Head Soul Bone.

"My poison arts remain."

"And my body has never felt this light before."

After confirming that her grandfather was safe, Dugu Yan immediately looked at Long Tian.

"My turn."

Long Tian pointed to the spot from before.

"Sit."

Dugu Yan walked over and sat cross-legged.

Her purple skintight outfit clung to her fiery figure.

Her long legs transformed into a jade-green snake tail, coiling beneath her body.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul appeared at once.

Two yellow and one purple soul rings slowly rose.

Dugu Yan looked at Long Tian.

"I don't have a soul bone."

"Where should my poison be stored?"

"Your poison accumulation is far less severe than Dugu Bo's."

Long Tian took out a small petal of Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"I will strip the poison from your body, then merge it into the origin of your Martial Soul."

"In the end, it will condense into a Jade Phosphor Poison Pill."

"When you use poison in the future, you only need to draw upon the poison pill directly."

Dugu Yan accepted the petal.

"Will it hurt?"

"It will."

Long Tian gave her a direct answer.

Dugu Yan's expression changed slightly.

"Can't you make it hurt less?"

"The poison has already entered your bone marrow."

Long Tian looked at her.

"If you are afraid of pain now, you can keep waiting another ten years."

"Who's afraid?"

Dugu Yan immediately swallowed the petal.

"Begin."

The medicinal power of the Aromatic Silk Beauty swiftly entered her body.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was suppressed, all of it contracting deep into her meridians.

Long Tian raised his right hand.

The Nine-Colored Divine Light fell upon Dugu Yan's forehead.

The Life Divine Domain spread out once more.

Pure life force wrapped around every one of her meridians.

Immediately after.

The poison element was forcibly drawn out by the Rainbow Dragon.

Dugu Yan's face instantly turned pale.

Thread after thread of jade-green poison separated from her bone marrow and internal organs.

Her long snake tail tensed straight.

Both hands pressed tightly against her knees.

"Do not resist."

Long Tian looked at her.

"Circulate your Soul Power according to the cultivation route of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul."

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and regained control over the Soul Power within her body.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent opened its jaws.

All the separated poison flowed through her meridians and into her Martial Soul.

The green light gradually compressed.

A thumb-sized jade-green poison pill slowly took shape in her dantian.

With every rotation of the poison pill, the surrounding Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison diminished by a fraction.

The Life Divine Domain followed closely behind, repairing every damaged area.

Dugu Bo stood nearby, watching his granddaughter the entire time.

As he saw her complexion gradually regain its color, his tense expression slowly relaxed.

An hour later.

The final wisp of poison from her bone marrow was extracted by the Nine-Colored Divine Light.

The poison entered her dantian.

The Jade Phosphor Poison Pill fully condensed into form.

The Martial Soul behind Dugu Yan also changed at that moment.

The originally jade-green snake scales gained a layer of luster like black jade.

Its snake eyes became purer.

The bloodline of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had already taken a step toward becoming the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Long Tian withdrew his hand.

"It's done."

Dugu Yan opened her eyes.

The meridians in her right leg were no longer stiff.

The twisting pain in her lower abdomen had also completely vanished.

All the poison in her body had flowed into her dantian and would no longer corrode her internal organs or bone marrow.

As long as she activated the Jade Phosphor Poison Pill, she could release serpent poison even more condensed than before.

Dugu Yan rose from the ground.

Her snake tail transformed back into a pair of long, jade-like legs.

"My poison has been cured too?"

"You can check for yourself."

Dugu Yan closed her eyes and carefully circulated her Soul Power.

A moment later.

Joy appeared on her fair face.

"It really is cured."

"The Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison hasn't disappeared. Its power has actually become stronger."

Dugu Bo walked up to Long Tian.

The green-haired elder remained silent for a long while before solemnly clasping his hands.

"Long Tian."

"This old man has rarely owed anyone a favor in my life."

"Today, you saved both this old man and Yan Yan."

"From this day onward, the Dugu Family owes you a debt of immense gratitude."

Dugu Yan also stepped forward.

Her jade-green eyes looked earnestly at the man before her.

"Thank you."

Long Tian withdrew the Life Divine Domain.

The emerald radiance in the valley slowly faded.

"I took the immortal herbs from the Icefire Yin Yang Well."

"That was the transaction we agreed upon."

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"Those herbs would only have continued gathering dust in this old man's hands."

"Not only did you preserve our cultivation, you also made the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison stronger."

"A few immortal herbs cannot repay such a favor."

The green-haired old man raised his head.

"If you ever need anything, come find this old man."

"As long as it does not violate the Dugu Family's bottom line, this old man will do it for you."

Long Tian nodded lightly.

"I'll remember that."

Dugu Yan stepped forward.

"Grandfather owes you a favor."

"I owe you my life too."

Long Tian looked at Dugu Yan before him.

"You're not pursuing the matter at the Soul Arena anymore?"

Dugu Yan's cheeks warmed slightly.

"That's a different matter."

"I'll settle the score for you hitting me slowly, later."

Dugu Bo raised a hand to his forehead.

"Yanyan, stop fooling around."

Dugu Yan gave a soft snort and said no more.

The Icefire Yin Yang Well returned to tranquility.

The crimson and milky-white spring waters slowly converged.

Inside the Rainbow Dragon Staff.

Countless immortal herbs bathed in divine life light, their roots already taking hold in the soil again.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty swayed gently.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty shimmered with precious light.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red still grew upon the Wujue Stone.

Long Tian sensed the immense medicinal power within the divine artifact's space and withdrew his focus.

The immortal herbs were already his.

The deadly poisons within Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had also been completely resolved.

The Second Drop of True Dragon Blood! Dugu Yan Slept in Long Tian's Room!

Icefire Yin Yang Well.

The crimson and milky-white spring waters flowed slowly, filling the valley with two extreme auras.

Dugu Bo moved his fully recovered body, his gaze never leaving Long Tian.

"Long Tian, Yanyan's Jade Phosphor Poison Pill has only just condensed. How long will it take to stabilize?"

Long Tian looked at Dugu Yan.

The Jade Phosphor Poison Pill slowly rotated in her dantian. With every turn, it drew in the surrounding Soul Power.

"At least seven days."

"During these seven days, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison cannot be overly depleted."

"Her meridians must also be nourished with life elements every day to prevent the poison pill from losing control."

Dugu Bo frowned slightly.

"This old man does not understand life elements."

"Then let Yanyan stay with you for the time being."

Dugu Yan walked up to Long Tian, her emerald eyes blinking.

"You wouldn't be unwilling, would you?"

Long Tian's expression remained calm.

"Whether I am willing is unimportant."

"If your poison pill loses control, you will be the one who suffers."

Dugu Yan gave a soft snort.

"As long as you treat me every day, the poison pill will not lose control."

"So that means you'll have to take responsibility for me from now on."

Long Tian glanced at her.

"Only for seven days."

"After seven days, you will return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Dugu Yan clasped her hands behind her back and leaned half a step closer.

"Who knows what will happen after seven days?"

Standing nearby, Dugu Bo could not help coughing lightly.

"Yanyan, do not forget what matters."

"Grandfather, I was only asking about the treatment."

Dugu Yan stepped back, but the smile on her face did not fade.

Long Tian paid her no further attention.

The second drop of Rainbow True Dragon Blood had already reacted inside the Rainbow Dragon Staff.

Now that his cultivation had reached level forty-four, and his body had been tempered by a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, he could already withstand a second bloodline transformation.

Long Tian walked to the center of the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

"Dugu Bo, I am going to cultivate here for one day."

"Guard the valley for me. Do not let any soul beasts enter."

Dugu Bo immediately nodded.

"You saved this old man and Yanyan. Of course, such a small matter is no problem."

Long Tian sat down cross-legged.

The Rainbow Dragon Staff appeared in his palm.

Nine-Colored Divine Light unfurled from the dragon pearl, swiftly covering the entire valley.

Roar—

A lofty dragon's roar pierced the clouds.

A massive Nine-Colored Divine Dragon coiled above the Icefire Yin Yang Well, seven elements endlessly circulating around its body.

Inside the Rainbow Dragon Staff.

A crystalline drop of Nine-Colored Dragon Blood slowly rose.

That drop of true dragon blood passed through the spatial gateway and hovered before Long Tian's chest.

Sensing its aura, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul manifested on its own.

His nine soul rings also trembled slightly under the pressure of the dragon's might.

"What kind of bloodline is this?"

"A single drop of blood can actually suppress this old man's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor?"

The reaction of Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was even stronger.

The emerald serpent phantom curled up and lowered its head.

Long Tian raised his right hand.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Blood fell into his palm and instantly entered his body.

Boom!

The Rainbow Dragon's Heart pounded heavily.

Surging bloodline power erupted throughout his meridians.

Crimson flames rose from his left arm.

Deep-blue frost covered his right arm.

Purple-gold lightning endlessly coursed around his body.

Emerald divine life light continuously spread from his chest.

Four powers converged within his meridians.

The true dragon bloodline began tempering his bones, flesh, and internal organs.

Long Tian's Soul Power surged rapidly at that moment.

Level forty-five.

Level forty-six.

Level forty-seven.

Only upon reaching the peak of level forty-seven did the wildly swelling Soul Power within him gradually stabilize.

Yellow, yellow, black, red.

Four soul rings rose one after another beneath his feet.

As the second drop of Rainbow True Dragon Blood merged with his Martial Soul, the first and second yellow soul rings began changing at the same time.

Nine-Colored Divine Light entered the soul rings.

Their originally bright yellow gradually deepened before being completely replaced by purple radiance.

Purple, purple, black, red!

Two thousand-year soul rings.

One ten-thousand-year soul ring.

One hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Dugu Yan raised a hand to shield herself from the oncoming elemental shockwave, her eyes fixed on the white-clad figure.

"Soul ring age can increase on its own?"

The expression on Dugu Bo's face was equally remarkable.

"This old man has lived for so many years, yet I have never seen anything like this."

"A hundred-thousand-year fourth soul ring was already shocking enough."

"Now even the first two soul rings have evolved under the power of his bloodline."

The Nine-Colored Divine Dragon lifted its head and roared.

The two spring waters of the Icefire Yin Yang Well shot into the sky, circled the enormous dragon once, then fell back into the spring.

Long Tian opened his eyes.

Four fine elemental dragon patterns had appeared deep within his Nine-Colored Double Pupils.

His gaze descended.

Every shift in the valley's elements appeared clearly before his eyes.

Fire elements lay hidden in the crimson spring water.

Ice elements gathered in the milky-white spring.

Life elements nourished the young shoots in the herb garden.

Even the Jade Phosphor Poison Pill in Dugu Yan's dantian could be seen directly through his Nine-Colored Double Pupils.

Long Tian withdrew his Martial Soul.

The nine-colored divine light filling the sky returned to his body.

Dugu Bo approached him.

"Level forty-seven?"

"You raised your Soul Power by three levels in just one day?"

Long Tian rose from the ground.

"Most of the power in the Rainbow True Dragon Blood was used to strengthen my body and Martial Soul."

"Raising my Soul Power was only one part of its effect."

Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment.

Raising Soul Power by three levels at once was merely a side effect.

The foundation of the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul had already surpassed this Titled Douluo's understanding.

Dugu Yan hurried over.

"You can see my poison pill now?"

"Yes."

Long Tian's gaze fell upon her lower abdomen.

"The Jade Phosphor Poison Pill has stabilized by thirty percent."

"After seven days, it will completely merge with the Martial Soul's origin."
