The entire detoxification process went very smoothly. It merely took a little time because the toxins could not be separated out quickly.
In just over an hour, Ning Chuan completely separated the bloodline toxins from Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Yan could feel that the toxins she had once needed soul power to suppress had vanished entirely.
"How do you feel, Yan'er?" Dugu Bo immediately asked with concern.
"The toxins are completely gone!" Dugu Yan nodded at Dugu Bo, then solemnly bowed to Ning Chuan. "Thank you, Ning Chuan!"
Dugu Bo immediately declared, "Ning Chuan, from this moment on, I am a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you need anything in the future, just give the word!"
After Dugu Bo made his declaration, the system's mission completion notification chimed.
Ning Chuan immediately said, "Senior Dugu, I haven't removed the toxins from your body yet!"
Dugu Bo waved a hand. "No rush. Recover first, and we'll discuss it afterward!"
Ning Chuan smiled. "Senior, do I look like I need to rest?"
Dugu Bo froze at his words. He had been so focused on his joy that he had completely failed to notice Ning Chuan's condition remained unchanged.
Sensing Ning Chuan's aura, Dugu Bo immediately asked, "You can use this soul skill on yourself even while using it on someone else?"
He instantly realized that Ning Chuan's soul skill was not a single-target skill.
"That's right!" Ning Chuan nodded.
Hearing his confirmation, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were deeply shaken.
Dugu Yan in particular could clearly feel that the Origin Restoration soul skill had not only healed her injuries, but also restored her soul power and spiritual power.
She could already imagine how astonishing this soul skill would be in an actual battle.
Healing and restoration in one, with an incredibly fast recovery rate. Judging by Ning Chuan's condition, it barely seems to cost him anything, either. With a teammate like that, wouldn't winning the next Soul Master Tournament be a breeze? Dugu Yan thought.
At that moment, she truly wanted to switch sides and join Skywater Academy.
"Ning Chuan, my condition is different from Yan'er's. Removing my poison will be more difficult. Why not wait until you're stronger before trying? It's not as though I'll die anytime soon!" Dugu Bo said.
"May I examine you first?" Ning Chuan asked.
"Of course!" Dugu Bo nodded.
Ning Chuan then released his soul force and began examining him.
When Dugu Bo sensed Ning Chuan's spiritual power, he was astonished to discover that Ning Chuan's spiritual aura was very similar to the one Sword Douluo had released earlier. Though it was faint, the two auras were on the same tier, while his own spiritual power somehow felt a grade beneath them.
It seems my understanding of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is still far too shallow! Dugu Bo thought. He suddenly realized that joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time might prove to be an extraordinary opportunity for him!
After examining him, Ning Chuan was certain that he could easily resolve Dugu Bo's poison as well.
However, Ning Chuan did not intend to detoxify Dugu Bo. Although these toxins harmed him, they could become part of his combat strength if he gained complete control over them.
Dugu Bo might struggle to accomplish that on his own, but the system's reward, the Poison Scripture, had already arrived. Ning Chuan believed that with its help, Dugu Bo had a very good chance of succeeding.
With that in mind, Ning Chuan said, "Senior Dugu, your condition is indeed more serious than Miss Dugu's, but I still have a sixty to seventy percent chance of successfully detoxifying you."
Ning Chuan deliberately paused before continuing, "If we can find a blessed site rich in the primal energy of heaven and earth, or obtain some high-grade medicinal herbs to help, the chances of success could rise even further!"
As soon as Ning Chuan finished speaking, Dugu Bo said, "I happen to know just such a place. Not only is it rich in the primal energy of heaven and earth, but precious medicinal herbs grow everywhere!"
Ning Chuan smiled at that. "Wonderful. Let's go there now!"
"All right!" Dugu Bo nodded without suspecting anything. As far as he was concerned, from the moment Ning Chuan cured Dugu Yan, he would not have objected even if Ning Chuan wanted to take every medicinal herb there.
Afterward, Sword Douluo had Ning Fengzhi come to the Back Mountain. In his capacity as sect master, Ning Fengzhi formally admitted Dugu Bo into the sect, making him the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's third guardian Douluo, with a status equal to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Of course, only those present knew about this, and there was no rush to announce it publicly.
Dugu Yan also declared on the spot that she would join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect once the next Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament ended.
Dugu Bo then set out for Sunset Forest with Sword Douluo and Ning Chuan, while Dugu Yan returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy first.
Dugu Bo had come to Heaven Dou City that day because the Imperial Team had accepted an invitation from Suotuo City and would leave the following day. He had therefore come to check on Dugu Yan, never expecting to encounter Ning Chuan and have Dugu Yan's bloodline poison removed outright.
Meanwhile, Shrek Academy had already achieved an impressive record at Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena.
Interestingly, Flender had originally wanted the seven Shrek students to compete in soul fighting under the team name "Shrek Seven Devils," only to meet fierce opposition from Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Both firmly maintained that they were pretty girls, not monsters.
Flender could only settle for his second choice and change the team's name to the Shrek Team.
During this time, Ning Rongrong's soul power level had risen rapidly, reaching level thirty-two and drawing even with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
None of the Shrek students understood why Ning Rongrong's soul power was increasing so quickly. Then Yu Xiaogang jumped out and claimed all the credit for himself.
In Gangzi's words, Ning Rongrong had been pampered since childhood and had never endured the hardships of cultivation. Now that she suddenly had personal guidance from a Grandmaster like him, her progress naturally advanced by leaps and bounds.
Ning Rongrong truly had not expected Yu Xiaogang to be so shameless. However, she could not reveal the Soul Power Cultivation Method, so she could only go along with Gangzi and admit that he deserved all the credit.
Because her soul power had become purer, both the duration and the amplification effects of Ning Rongrong's soul skills had improved considerably.
Moreover, enhancing two or three people at once was no great problem for her.
As a result, the Shrek Team had won its recent team soul fights in Suotuo City with relative ease.
With Ning Rongrong's enhancements, Tang San and Dai Mubai could clash head-on with the Madness Team in its frenzied state without falling behind.
Tang San and the others had come to truly appreciate just how important an excellent support was to a team.
Elsewhere, in Sunset Forest, although Ning Chuan had long known that immortal herbs grew all around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he still could not help marveling when he saw them with his own eyes.
Sword Douluo was equally astonished. He had never imagined that Sunset Forest contained such a blessed site.
"Ning Chuan, Chen Xin, now that I've joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, if the sect needs the medicinal herbs here, it can send people to collect them at any time!" Dugu Bo declared on the spot.
"Then you have my deepest thanks." Sword Douluo cupped his hands. Although he could not identify all the herbs here, he knew that any single one could fetch an astronomical price outside.
Ning Chuan had previously told Dugu Bo that he had only a sixty to seventy percent chance of success precisely to get Dugu Bo to bring him here.
These immortal herbs were of little use to him, so Ning Chuan would not pick them indiscriminately. After all, he had already cured Dugu Yan, and he would resolve Dugu Bo's problem next. With that, Tang San would have no opportunity to obtain these immortal herbs.
After all, immortal herbs could not be stored for long once picked. They could stay here, and it would not be too late to harvest them when the sect needed them.
