Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 39 Guiding Duguyan

"The second method is the simplest. That is to use the spirit bones as poison glands to store toxins. Then, you only need to force the poison in the martial spirit into the spirit bones to avoid being affected by the martial spirit possession."

As he spoke, Xu Yang changed the subject, which made Dugu Yan feel conflicted.

"However, if you want to solve the Titled Douluo-level toxin problem, the soul bones must be no less than 50,000 years old, and they must be limb bones. Otherwise, they will not be able to withstand the endless poison in the Titled Douluo's body.

Moreover, this soul bone will not be able to be passed down like other sects.

Of course, it is also possible to absorb four limb bones that are about ten thousand years old and store the toxins separately in four soul bones, but the cost is too high and few forces can afford it."

The value of soul bones is self-evident. Nowadays, apart from the Spirit Hall and the Haotian Sect, which have a large number of soul bones, the number of soul bones in other forces is not large. Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has no more than twenty soul bones, and most of them are a thousand or ten thousand years old. There are only three soul bones that are over twenty thousand years old, and they are the inherited soul bones of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and they are on Ning Fengzhi's body.

Otherwise, given the status of Jian Gu and the other two Super Douluo, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would not have provided them with a full set of armor, as there simply wasn't anything suitable.

This is the case for the top three sects like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, let alone a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo who has no power. It would be even more difficult for him to find a suitable soul bone.

"Xu Yang, why are it the limb bones and not the torso bones and head soul bones?!" Dugu Yan asked anxiously. She remembered that her grandfather had a 60,000-year-old Medusa head soul bone, which perfectly met the age requirement Xu Yang had just mentioned.

"Because of its replaceable nature, when the amount of toxin exceeds the spirit bone's tolerance limit, the spirit bone will be damaged. Once the toxins accumulated for so long erupt, even a Super Douluo will die on the spot. The limb bones can be replaced as long as the right method is found, but the head and torso bones cannot.

Furthermore, the head is the place where the soul resides. If the head soul bones are used to absorb toxins from the body, once the soul bone storage reaches its limit, the soul master will no longer have the possibility of breakthrough. The same is true for the torso bones, so the best choice is the limb bones.

Xu Yang explained patiently.

Dugu Yan nodded seriously. It was just as Xu Yang said. People could still survive without limbs, but without the head and torso, people would die. Limbs were indeed the best choice.

She planned to ask for leave and go back to tell her grandfather about this method, but before that, she wanted to hear about the third method.

"What about the third method?!"

"The third method... well, I think it's a bit far-fetched. It involves using legendary herbs to evolve one's martial soul, improving one's aptitude and poison resistance. For example, the most suitable herb for poison-attributed soul masters is the earth-attributed herb. After absorbing it, one will basically be immune to toxins until becoming a Titled Douluo. However, whether such legendary herbs actually exist is a question. I've searched through the collections of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy students, and I've only found records of a few of them."

Xu Yang deliberately gave a bitter smile and guided Dugu Yan to think about the magic grass. Dugu Yan must have been to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and seen the appearance of the magic grass, but he just didn't know its name and usage.

"Immortal grass..."

Sure enough, after hearing about the existence of the "immortal grass", Dugu Yan unconsciously recalled the strange herbs in her grandfather's medicine garden. Each one looked extraordinary, strange and beautiful, and had never been seen by the outside world. It should be the "immortal grass" that Xu Yang mentioned.

"Xu Yang, do you think immortal herbs exist?" Dugu Yan asked, feigning composure, though she didn't even notice her voice trembling. "They should exist. Take, for example, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum I saw in the Tiandou Library. While I've never seen this herb in real life, I've read intel from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect that Elder Ju of the Spirit Hall possesses the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum spirit. If they possess the spirit, then the immortal herbs are not impossible to exist!"

As he spoke, Xu Yang took out the note about the Qirong Tongtianju from his storage ring and handed it to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan took it and looked at it, her pupils suddenly contracted. She had seen this herb before, she had seen it in her grandfather's medicine garden. Doesn't that mean that the other plants in her grandfather's medicine garden are really magical herbs as well?

She was not sure at first, but now she is absolutely certain that those are magical herbs. If she can find the records and usage methods of those herbs, maybe she can solve the problem between her and her grandfather.

I didn't expect that after searching for many years, the solution was right beside me.

"Xu Yang, thank you!"

Tears welled up in Dugu Yan's eyes. She excitedly hugged Xu Yang and kissed him hard on the cheek. Then she turned and ran out of the room, heading towards Qin Ming's residence. She wanted to ask for leave and find her grandfather to confirm whether these three methods were true?!
"Isn't this a bit too much guidance?!"

Xu Yang felt a little embarrassed. He reached out to touch the place where he was kissed, and looked at Dugu Yan's back while murmuring.

……

Dugu Mansion is located on the edge of Tiandou City. There are very few people within a thousand meters radius here. There are no servants inside the manor. Only Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan live there. Normally, no one dares to provoke this Titled Douluo.

At this time, in the hall of Dugu Mansion, Dugu Bo was leisurely drinking medicinal tea and listening to Dugu Yan explaining the method mentioned by Xu Yang.

The more he listened, the more restless he became. The hand holding the teacup began to tremble, and his eyes were filled with shock and surprise, as well as a hint of regret. Why didn't he think of such a simple method earlier? If he had thought of it earlier, his son and daughter-in-law might not have died, and Yanyan would not have been poisoned at birth.

Originally, he thought that when he heard about the soul bone method, he thought it was the best solution. Until he heard Dugu Yan talk about the magic grass, his expression could no longer be restrained. Looking at the introduction of the Qirong Tongtian Ju in his hand, he knew it was true.

He and Juhuaguan had a great grudge, and he was familiar with the Qirong Tongtianju martial spirit. He had also thought about studying the magic herb in his medicine garden to find a way to deal with Juhuaguan, but he had no way to use it, so he had to put it aside.

Now looking at the notes in his hand, he didn't expect that the Qirong Tongtianju actually had such effects. It really deserves the name of magical herb.

Moreover, since Juhuaguan possesses the Qirong Tongtianju martial spirit and he loves flowers, he must have records about the magical herb in his hands.

No, the defense of that strange place is still too simple and must be strengthened. Once it is discovered by the Spirit Hall, it will be a real disaster.
