Early the next morning, Yang Ping'an led six people out for training. The Third Elder Yang Wuju, continued to secretly follow the seven, only intervening to protect them in life-or-death situations.
Yang Podi continued meditating at home when his father suddenly barged in, his face appearing quite gloomy.
Father Yang Zhentian spoke with an unfriendly expression, " Podi, did you tell your grandfather about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? It caused me to get a scolding from him."
Yang Podi suppressed a laugh, "Dad, it's nothing, it's all for the good of the family."
Yang Zhentian was speechless for a moment. "Didn't you suggest keeping it to yourself? Why are you suddenly revealing it? Aren't you setting me up?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "I need Grandpa to help me refine some Soul Explosion Pill. We might not have enough herbs at home, so I gave some to Grandpa."
Yang Zhentian seemed to understand Yang Podi's thoughts better than others. "Are you planning to have a 100,000-year-old Seventh Soul Ring? Then you didn't need to tell me everything. As a result, this morning, all the herbs I secretly hid were taken away by your grandfather, even the Immortal Herb, saying he wanted to study them. I wonder if we can get them back?"
Yang Podi suppressed a laugh, "Dad, I only said I had some herbs. How come Grandpa took all your Immortal Herb too? You can't blame me for that."
Even if you wanted the Soul Explosion Pill, you wouldn't need this many herbs. The herbs at home should be enough for your three Soul Ring.
"Dad, I need a lot of Soul Ring, maybe ten or eight, and I want 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."
"What do you need so many Soul Ring for? You can't absorb that many."
"Dad, didn't Grandpa tell you? I have Twin Martial Souls."
Yang Zhentian nodded. " Twin Martial Souls do indeed require a lot of Soul Ring. Wait, what did you say? You have Twin Martial Souls? How come I didn't know that?"
Yang Podi had no choice but to recount his Twin Martial Souls in detail, and even demonstrated them, which earned him praise from Yang Zhentian.
Finally, Yang Zhentian spoke up, " Podi, you caused all my Immortal Herb to be taken away by your grandfather. Shouldn't you compensate me?"
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. "Grandpa took this. You should be looking for Grandpa. Why are you coming to me instead? Besides, I have nothing on me now, so it's no use you coming to me."
"Oh, right, Dad, give me that Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower first; I need it very much."
Yang Zhentian, the father, was a little puzzled. "What do you need the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower for? It's a fire-attribute Immortal Herb, and you don't have any use for it."
"This is a very important matter, concerning the future development of the family..."
After some discussion, Dad still gave the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Yang Podi.
After leaving Yang Podi's room, Yang Zhentian felt something was off. Finally, he couldn't help but complain, "Wasn't I going to that brat to get some immortal Immortal Herb to make up for my losses? How did it turn out I ended up giving him the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower instead?..."
According to his father, Tianyue had already absorbed the External Soul Bone of the Earth Demon Bear, which was considered one of Tianyue's trump cards. Yang Podi felt much more at ease about his only sister.
After several days of training, Yang Podi finally broke through to level 70, thus entering the Soul Saint. In terms of Soul Power alone, he could be considered a minor expert.
Yang Podi first sought out Dugu Bo, hoping to learn some things from him.
Dugu Bo looked at Yang Podi with a strange expression. "Aren't you always so arrogant and knowledgeable? Why would you want to ask this old man for advice today?"
Yang Podi quickly spoke up, "I'm just a junior, Senior Dugu, you're being too polite. Who in the entire Douluo Continent doesn't know that Grandpa Dugu is the most powerful Poison Soul Master on the continent, you could even say there's no one else like him. When it comes to poison, who can compare to you?"
Dugu Wo couldn't help but nod. "Of course, I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to poison. You came to see me, kid, it's not because of what happened with Yanyan last time, is it? I haven't forgiven you for that, and I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later."
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. " Grandpa Dugu, I did come here this time because I have other things I want to ask you about, and only you are familiar with these things."
Dugu Bo was puzzled for a moment. "You Little Monster, just ask whatever you want to ask. We're all so familiar with each other now."
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking, " Grandpa Dugu, what kind of poison is most suitable for snake-type Soul Beast?"
Dugu Bo was speechless. His own Martial Soul was a venomous snake, and this kid actually asked him what kind of poison was effective against venomous snakes, "Why do you want to know that? You don't want to use poison against me, do you?"
Yang Podi quickly shook his head. "I admire Grandpa Dugu so much, how could I possibly deal with you? I just want to obtain a Soul Ring, and I've got my eye on a giant snake, hoping to hunt it down easily."
Dugu Bo looked at Yang Podi carefully for a few moments, and finally couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "Your Soul Power has improved quite quickly, kid. You're not even 20 years old yet, and you've already reached the Soul Saint realm. You're probably the fastest person in history to break through to Soul Saint. You wouldn't be looking for a 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Seventh Soul Ring soul ring, would you?"
Seeing that Yang Podi remained silent, Dugu Bo understood that Yang Podi was thinking about obtaining the 100,000-year Seventh Soul Ring. However, he ultimately shook his head. "You kid, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on that Titan Giant Python in Sunset Forest, would you? That Titan Giant Python is indeed 100,000 years old. Many people have tried to get it before, but all have failed. Do you know why?"
Yang Podi was puzzled. "How is this possible? Is this Titan Giant Python really that strong? A normal person should have Ninth Soul Ring, especially those people from the Spirit Hall. If they found out, they might send three or four Titled Douluo to deal with it; they wouldn't let this Titan Giant Python go."
Dugu Bo shook his head. "That Titan Giant Python is indeed quite strong, but not to that extent. At least it's not as strong as the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest, but it can hide."
Seeing that Yang Podi still didn't understand, he finally had to continue, "That Titan Giant Python lives in a mud pit. The entire mud pit is over ten kilometers long and wide, with extremely low visibility. Moreover, this Titan Giant Python is extremely good at hiding; even Titled Douluo cannot detect it. There are many snake holes at the bottom of the mud pit. Once it encounters an enemy, it will burrow into one of the snake holes, making it impossible to find."
"To this day, probably no one knows where the snake's hole beneath the mud extends to?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi fell into deep thought, but finally spoke up, " Grandpa Dugu, how come you are so familiar with this Titan Giant Python?"
Dugu Bo sneered, "Of course, I also coveted this Titan Giant Python back then. Even if I couldn't absorb the Soul Ring, it would still be a 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. But I camped out in Sunset Forest for almost a year, and even injured it once, but I still couldn't do anything to it."
" The Spirit Hall also sent two Titled Douluo to deal with this Titan Giant Python, but they returned empty-handed after lying in wait for more than half a year."
Yang Podi asked with some confusion, " Grandpa Dugu, why are you dealing with this Titan Giant Python? Logically speaking, only Titled Douluo could possibly deal with Ten-Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If you've reached the Titled Douluo level, you wouldn't need 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring anymore. And if you haven't reached the Titled Douluo level, you can't deal with the Titan Giant Python either."
Dugu Bo shook his head. "I've been looking for a way to solve the problem of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul Poison. If I had a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Python's Soul Bone, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison shouldn't be a problem."
Yang Podi thought for a moment and then asked, "If it were centipede venom or toad venom, would it be effective against the Titan Giant Python?"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment, "These two venomous creatures are indeed natural enemies of snakes, but to deal with the Titan Giant Python, we might need the venom of a centipede or toad that is ten thousand years old, and in very large quantities, to be effective."
"But that swamp is so big, just think about how much toxin it would require!"
Yang Podi finally said resolutely, "As long as it works, that's enough. This Titan Giant Python is doomed."
Dugu Bo was still a little hesitant. "Even if you can poison it, if this Titan Giant Python is poisoned, it will definitely hide, making it very difficult for you to track it down, especially in the mud where it's easier for it to ambush you."
Yang Podi shook his head. "If we drive him mad, will he still hide?"
Yang Podi didn't intend to look for some ancient poisonous toad or anything like that. Instead, he thought of the Breaking Clan's secret medicine, Seven-Colored Splendor, which was a mixture of seven highly poisonous substances, one of which must be something that snakes feared.
If a large amount of Bloody Mary is injected into the mud beforehand to drive the Titan Giant Python into a frenzy, then poisoning it will be much easier, and dealing with it will be much simpler.
Bloody Mary is a poison administered by the Asura God. It is unlikely that any Soul Beast or Soul Master on the entire Douluo Continent could completely eliminate it. The only thing that might be able to eliminate it is probably the purifying power of the Six-Winged Angel.
" Little Monster, is there anything else you need from me?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking, " Grandpa Dugu, how did you refine your Poison Pill?"
Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment. "Why are you always trying to study me? You're not really planning to get back at me, are you?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking, "I was thinking, if I could make the Soul Power in my body like your Poison Pill, would it be able to circulate on its own? That way, my cultivation speed would be much faster in the future."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but chuckle, "You Little Monster have quite a few ideas. I also suffered terribly from the poison of my Martial Soul back then, trying to condense all the toxins and expel them from my body. That's how I accidentally refined the Poison Pill. The specific refining method isn't complicated, but you have to be careful. You might explode if you're not careful during the process."
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he took a Poison Pill from his mouth and handed it to Yang Podi: "You should be able to figure out how it was made just by looking at this Poison Pill."
After Yang Podi received the Poison Pill Poison Pill, he saw that its surface was as smooth as a mirror, with what appeared to be some Sisi pattern. Especially when he observed it with his Divine Power, he could see that there seemed to be some kind of operating rule inside.
With the increasing infusion of Divine Power, the Poison Pill seemed to become clearer and more apparent.
Yang Podi looked at it for a long time before finally speaking with a smile, " Grandpa Dugu, thank you so much. I'll lend you this Poison Pill for a while, and I'll return it to you after I've used it up."
At this moment, Yang Podi was thinking that if he had the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, along with the method for refining this Poison Pill, he should be able to research a method for cultivating the Soul Core, at which point the strength of his family could be greatly enhanced.
