This made Dugu Yan feel somewhat depressed, but she also understood the importance of improving her cultivation. Besides, they were still young and would have plenty of time to spend together in the future. The most urgent task was cultivation.
Another half month passed. During this time, Yu Tianheng devoted himself to studying the " Medicine Classic " and made some progress. Although his current understanding may not be as good as that of the male protagonist Tang San, his knowledge of pharmacology in this world is already considered extremely profound.
However, Yu Tianheng was still somewhat troubled about how to resolve the poisoning issues suffered by Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo due to their Martial Soul.
It's not that there's no solution.
The " Medicine Classic " records several kinds of elixirs that can cure all poisons, such as the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Pill and the Jade Marrow Poison-Clearing Powder. All of them are top-grade elixirs that can cure all poisons in the world. However, they are difficult to refine and require rare medicinal materials. It would be extremely difficult for Yu Tianheng to refine them with his current cultivation level.
But none of that matters. If the refining process is difficult, let someone who can do it do it. Just tell Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo- level expert, the refining method. With his abilities, he can definitely master the refining method quickly.
As for the scarcity of medicinal herbs, that's not a problem at all. The secret realm " Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well " controlled by Dugu Bo contains countless medicinal herbs. You can find whatever you need. It's easy to find all the medicinal herbs needed to refine the two kinds of pills mentioned above.
The main problem is that while taking these two antidote pills will resolve the poisoning issues caused by Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's Martial Soul, their Martial Soul will no longer contain toxins.
The Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul has also changed from a highly venomous snake that could kill invisibly to an ordinary small snake, greatly reducing its power.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
The reason why the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul is so powerful is because of its terrifying venom, which can slaughter cities and destroy countries. If it didn't have this venom, what would be its purpose?
This is like a ferocious beast losing its claws, losing its weapon to protect itself.
To survive, discarding the deadly poison attached to Martial Soul is something neither Dugu Bo nor even Dugu Yan could accept, let alone Dugu Bo.
Through their time together, Yu Tianheng had a clear understanding of Dugu Yan's personality. He realized that destroying her Martial Soul would be worse than killing her.
Therefore, this method should absolutely not be used.
The best option is to retain the toxicity of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul without causing it to backfire on oneself.
Just as Yu Tianheng was deep in thought...
There was a rapid knocking at the door.
" Brother Tian, Brother Tian!" A rapid knocking sound mixed with a familiar call suddenly rang out. Song Guan's knuckles turned white as he gripped the gilded invitation. Through the crack in the carved wooden door, he saw a figure moving slightly inside.
Yu Tianheng frowned, but still opened the door and let Song Guan in.
"I'm busy, what's up?"
Song Guan, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire will be holding a court banquet in the palace in three days, inviting the nobles of Heaven Dou City. As you know, Brother Tian, Heaven Dou Royal Academy is known as a noble academy, and all those who can study here are children of nobles. Therefore, many students will be going with their family elders, and I will naturally be going as well."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng nodded slightly. "That's exactly what I said. Then go ahead. What does it have to do with me? I'm not your father."
"No." Song Guan smiled helplessly and explained, "It's like this, Brother Tian, although you're not from a noble family, you come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects the Soul Master World, and you're even the young clan leader. This status is far more impressive than that of ordinary noble children. In addition, your deeds at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have already attracted the attention of many people."
Even His Highness Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has heard of you and wishes to invite you to a palace banquet.
At this point, Song Guan gave Yu Tianheng a meaningful look, "With Brother Tian status as the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if you could befriend the Crown Prince, it would greatly benefit your future development."
After saying this, Song Guan took out an invitation and handed it to Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng thought for a moment and then accepted the invitation, "In that case, I'll go and experience this court banquet."
"Then it's settled. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Song Guan turned to leave, but after a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to tease, " Brother Tian, just a reminder, you can bring female companions to the palace banquet. You've been getting along quite well with Miss Dugu Yan lately, haven't you? You can bring her along too."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go ask over there later," Yu Tianheng said.
After the Song Guan had walked away, Yu Tianheng stroked his chin in deep thought: He had come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy not simply to improve his cultivation or make connections, but mainly to meet two people. The first was Dugu Yan, whom he had already met. The other was Xue Qinghe, though to be precise, she should be called " Qian Renxue ".
Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, and the daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji, are currently impersonating the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, trying every means to control the entire Heaven Dou Empire and eventually unify the continent. Unfortunately, they ultimately failed.
He's a very interesting villain.
Although he knew her current identity as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, it was not easy to meet her. He had originally planned to wait until his reputation grew so that she would take the initiative to befriend him, but he did not expect to have the opportunity so soon.
I'm really looking forward to a royal banquet!
As dusk painted the horizon crimson, Yu Tianheng hurried to Dugu Yan's residence. He raised his hand and knocked heavily on the wooden door, his voice urgent. " Yanyan, it's me, Yu Tianheng. I have something urgent to discuss with you!"
A slight noise came from inside the room, but no one answered. Yu Tianheng smiled helplessly. He knew that Dugu Yan was angry. The reason was actually very simple. During the days he had been staying in his room studying the " Medicine Classic ", Dugu Yan had come to find him many times, wanting to invite him to cultivate together, but he had refused her with various excuses.
After this happened repeatedly, the other party inevitably became somewhat unhappy, which Yu Tianheng could understand.
So he knocked harder. " Yanyan, I was wrong not to come see you these past few days, but I have my reasons. Please open the door and I'll explain."
Every second of waiting felt incredibly long. Just as he was about to speak again, the door creaked open a crack.
Dugu Yan appeared at the door with a cold, beautiful face and looked at Yu Tianheng: "What is it?"
Yu Tianheng didn't bother with pleasantries and directly pulled Dugu Yan into her residence. He then found a sofa in the living room, sat down, and embraced Dugu Yan tightly.
Dugu Yan struggled at first, but Yu Tianheng remained unmoved, holding Dugu Yan tightly. After a few moments, Dugu Yan stopped moving and lay peacefully in Yu Tianheng's arms, like a docile kitten.
