Modifying Dugu Bo's Spirit

Dugu Bo pointed at the medicinal herbs and Immortal Herbs that had turned into Fungus Beasts and said, "What happened to them?"

"You mean them? They are now the subjects of the Sage Lord of Fungi, who has granted them the ability to act independently. They also have a new name: Fungus Beasts."

"What on earth is this Sage Lord of Fungi you speak of?"

Hearing Dugu Bo's question, Lan Yu suddenly smiled and asked in return, "Heh, did you eat the detoxifying mushroom I gave Dugu Yan?"

"So what if I did?"

"Good. Then let the Sage Lord of Fungi answer that for you in person."

Before Dugu Bo could figure out what Lan Yu meant by those words, his vision blurred, and he found himself in the Illusion Space of Bifulong.

Because of the Ice and Fire Dual Yii Well, Bifulong had recovered even more power, and the Illusion Space had grown larger and more magnificent.

In this Illusion Space, Bifulong had also grown enormous, even larger than Zamalan. Its massive size truly gave one a strong sense of oppression.

"Dugu Bo, do you not want to become my subject?"

"You are the Sage Lord?"

"That's right. I am the Sage Lord, the Demon God Bifulong, and the deity who grants people satiety."

"Lord Sage Lord of Fungi, if I become your subject, can you resolve the spirit poison plaguing my Dugu clan?"

"That is naturally no problem. I am very good to my subjects. As long as you faithfully believe in me, I will grant your wishes.

However, should you dare to betray me, I will also make you know what divine punishment is."

"I wouldn't dare! I, Dugu Bo, can swear that as long as Lord Sage Lord of Fungi can resolve the stubborn illness of the Dugu clan's spirit poison, I am willing to lead the Dugu clan in offering our faith, and we will never betray you."

"Good, very good. Remember your oath. Your problem will be resolved by my sage."

With that, Dugu Bo was also kicked out of the Illusion Space.

After regaining his senses, Dugu Bo found that Lan Yu was still standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

"Dugu Bo, welcome to the fold. The Sage Lord will not mistreat any believer."

"Then my spirit poison..."

"I have a way. If you just want to suppress it, detoxifying mushrooms can completely do the job."

"I want a complete cure!"

"Don't rush. A complete cure is certainly possible, but it will completely change your spirit. Your spirit will no longer be of the poison attribute. Are you sure?"

Dugu Bo was silent for a long time before finally making a decision.

"I am sure! The spirit poison has tortured me for far too long. I hope to completely rid myself of it, and I can no longer let it poison my descendants."

"Then, what attribute do you like? Wind, fire, water, thunder, ice, geo, dendro. Choose one."

This question actually baffled Dugu Bo.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"I will use one of these seven attributes to replace the poison attribute of your spirit. Which one do you like? Pick one."

"It can even be done like this?"

Dugu Bo felt like his worldview had been re-baptized today.

"The power of a deity can accomplish many unimaginable things."

Dugu Bo thought for quite a while longer before making his decision: "I choose the thunder attribute! I want to ask, if my spirit attribute changes, what about my spirit rings?"

Lan Yu did not answer Dugu Bo's question, but instead asked, "What do you think poison is?"

This question baffled Dugu Bo once more. Although he was the Poison Douluo, he had never pondered what the true definition of poison was.

"Don't think of the word poison too narrowly. When elemental power is dense to a certain extent and can continuously cause damage to people, that is also poison."

Dugu Bo nodded. "Heh, I've studied poison for most of my life, yet I haven't seen through it as clearly as you. It's truly laughable."

"Alright, then let's begin now. Eat this first."

Lan Yu tossed a green mushroom to Dugu Bo, who ate it without any hesitation.

Upon consuming it, Dugu Bo instantly felt his body strengthen, and the sensation of his body being eroded by the spirit poison vanished quite a bit.

"Good stuff!"

"Next, do not resist."

Mycelium began to cover Dugu Bo's entire body from bottom to top. The sensation was indeed bizarre and even somewhat terrifying, but Dugu Bo endured it nonetheless.

Subsequently, the mycelium began to invade Dugu Bo's body, and Lan Yu activated Decomposition, dismantling the spirit poison within him.

After the spirit poison throughout Dugu Bo's body was completely decomposed, Lan Yu manipulated the mycelium to penetrate deeper into his spirit.

The mycelium tightly coiled around Dugu Bo's spirit, forcefully decomposing the poison attribute within it.

Finally, the mycelium tightly wrapped around Dugu Bo's spirit completely completed symbiosis with it, transforming into a Rotating Thunder Fungus Beast that rested atop the head of the Green Phosphor Serpent Emperor spirit.

Because of the change in spirit attribute, the color of the Green Phosphor Serpent Emperor spirit also shifted from green to purple. Perhaps it should no longer be called the Green Phosphor Serpent Emperor; calling it the Thunder Phosphor Serpent Emperor was more fitting.

Once all of this was done, Lan Yu withdrew the mycelium.

Seeing Dugu Bo's altered appearance, Lan Yu could not help but laugh out loud.

For some unknown reason, the color of the hair on Dugu Bo's body had turned purple, and his pupils were purple as well.

That in itself wasn't particularly funny; the crucial part was his hair. Because of the radiating thunder attribute, every single strand of his hair stood straight up on end.

"Did it succeed?"

Dugu Bo summoned his spirit and, seeing that it had completely changed, let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

"Ahem, Dugu Bo, rein it in a bit. You are a Title Douluo after all, so you should mind your image."

It wasn't just Lan Yu; Bifulong was laughing even louder, only Dugu Bo couldn't hear it.

It was only then that Dugu Bo noticed the problem with his hair, and his aged face instantly flushed red with embarrassment.

He hurriedly reined in his mind, controlling his spirit power, and finally managed to make his standing hair fall back down.

"Ahem, great kindness requires no thanks. If there is anywhere you need me in the future, just give the word."

"Don't mention it. Everything is the grace of the Sage Lord."

"Indeed, thank you Lord Sage, and thank you Lord Sage.

You know, I also have a granddaughter, Yanzi. She is likewise affected by the spirit poison, though the impact is still very small right now. She hasn't sensed it, and I haven't told her either.

I hope you can help, Lord Sage, so that Yanzi can also completely rid herself of the trouble of the spirit poison."

"I can help, but you should understand the prerequisite."

"I know. I will make Yanzi a believer of the Sage Lord as well."

"Mm, you can head back first and persuade Dugu Yan. I will come to Heaven Dou City to find you after my affairs here are concluded."

"Alright! I await Lord Sage in Heaven Dou City."

Afterwards, Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Dual Yii Well, and Lan Yu remained behind to cultivate and nurture Immortal Herbs.

Lan Yu had already decided that his sixth ring would be the hundred-thousand-year Octagonal Xuanbing Grass.
