Douluo Continent: The Heavenly Book Transforms into Mortals

Chapter 68 You Can't Be So Unambitious, Your Majesty (Please Add to Your Favorites!!!)

Turning his head towards the direction from which the sound came, Su Wen saw Dugu Bo dressed in a dark green robe.

The other person's beard and even hair were a dark green color, which Su Wen knew was caused by the toxins entering his body.

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan said.

She stepped forward and grabbed Dugu Bo's arm, shaking it.

Dugu Bo's expression softened instantly. He patted Dugu Yan's head and asked her with great concern about her recent situation at the academy.

"Grandpa, this is Xiaowen, the one I told you about." Dugu Yan introduced Su Wen to Dugu Bo.

"Your Majesty Dugu," Su Wen and Xiao Zhan greeted him.

"Kid, I can pretend I didn't hear what you just said, but I don't want you to go around spreading rumors about my Yan'er being poisoned," Dugu Bo said, glancing at Su Wen.

He never believed that Su Wen could surpass him in his understanding of poison or solve problems that even he couldn't solve.

Dugu Bo's expression turned cold, and his soul power was suddenly released, creating a terrifying aura.

"roll!"

His gaze swept around, and he saw three or four shadows flash by, retreating towards the direction of Tiandou City.

Su Wen was speechless.

This must be the bodyguard that Qian Renxue arranged for herself to be ostensibly part of the Heaven Dou royal family.

I was so scared, I thought they were talking to me.

"Senior, I am indeed curious about Sister Yan's situation, and I also have some thoughts on it," Su Wen said.

This is a great opportunity, and Su Wen won't miss it.

He needs to cultivate to level 40 in the next year and a half, and without the help of immortal herbs, he really can't guarantee that he can do it.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn't want to drag it out any longer.

The earlier you take the immortal herb, the better the effect. Once your soul power level reaches level 70 or 80, the effect will probably be minimal, and by then your martial soul will be fully formed.

The Soul Master stage is the most suitable time to consume immortal herbs.

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly, the residual pressure of the soul power he had just unleashed pressing down on Su Wen.

"Do you perhaps think that your skill in poisons surpasses mine?"

Su Wen felt a tangible pressure, a sense of suffocation, but he still said humbly and arrogantly, "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, although I know nothing about poison, I am very knowledgeable about martial spirits."

Upon hearing Su Wen's words, Dugu Bo withdrew his aura.

He also recalled Su Wen's theoretical talent, which Dugu Yan had mentioned many times.

However, Dugu Yan's understanding of Su Wen's theoretical level was ultimately limited.

His understanding of Su Wen's theoretical talent was limited to the time when Su Wen was transferred to the academy's research institute by the Crown Prince.

She had no idea about her specific skill level.

In Dugu Bo's view, Su Wen's ability to join the research institute itself was enough to demonstrate his theoretical talent. However, he still didn't think Su Wen could offer any useful methods.

How old is Su Wen now? What achievements can he have in the theory of martial souls?

Dugu Bo didn't take it seriously; he was just using it to give Su Wen a way out.

However, Su Wen said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison is too strong. In addition, because it is a beast spirit, the frequent possession of spirit masters causes the poison to corrode them during the cultivation process."

"Cough cough." Xiao Zhan coughed a few times.

Can I avoid this?

Poison Douluo glanced at him and said, "What, are you afraid I'll kill him to silence him? Listen carefully, I want to see what insights he has."

"I even speculate that this backlash will become more and more severe as cultivation progresses, accumulating in the body, and could be fatal at any time once it erupts."

Su Wen couldn't recall such detailed descriptions in the original work.

He didn't know anything about this stuff, and even if he did remember, he wouldn't dare to pretend otherwise.

Dugu Bo was therefore distracted and did not find anything new in what Su Wen said.

"I believe that His Majesty the Poison Douluo has already tried various solutions to the problem of poison itself," Su Wen said. "I won't presume to offer my own advice on this matter."

"However, this poison itself is not just a matter of poison; it is actually fundamentally about the relationship between the Martial Soul and the Soul Master. And in terms of the theory of Martial Soul cultivation, I do have a certain level of expertise." Su Wen spoke confidently and eloquently.

"First, and I think the simplest method is to use an external object to absorb it, such as the solidified soul power that a Title Douluo can cultivate. It may not be able to completely absorb the toxins in the body, but it can greatly alleviate the situation."

Poison Douluo frowned and looked at Xiao Zhan.

You teach everything.

He's only a Soul Venerable, yet he already knows about the cultivation progress of a Title Douluo?

However, he immediately thought of Xiao Zhan's situation and understood why Xiao Zhan had taught these things to Su Wen in advance.

Xiao Zhan was also embarrassed.

At the same time, he secretly wished that Su Wen would shut up immediately.

Stop guessing.

If you figure out Poison Douluo's secrets, we're both doomed.

"Of course, this is only a temporary solution, especially since only Title Douluo can possess solidified soul power."

"Besides solidified soul power, there are actually other alternatives, and they are far more effective than solidified soul power, such as introducing toxins into the same part of the body."

The toxins penetrate deep into the internal organs, but they can also be channeled through each other. However, this can make the areas where toxins accumulate in one place more dangerous.

Therefore, Poison Douluo showed a disdainful expression at this moment.

However, before he could speak, Su Wen's words continued.

"And naturally, no part of the body is suitable as a place to store toxins, so I'm thinking of using soul bones instead."

Soul bone as a substitute?

Dugu Bo was taken aback, finding Su Wen's words somewhat novel.

He had never really thought about this before.

Even if he had the idea of ​​channeling the toxins, he would concentrate them in the poison pill, which would both increase the potency of the poison pill and alleviate the pain caused by the toxins.

Soul Bone

I haven't tried it, so I don't know.

However, it seems theoretically feasible.

"However, this is only a temporary solution," Su Wen said.

Dugu Bo looked at Su Wen in surprise.

If the toxins could be channeled into the soul bone, and this continued over time, then the problem of toxin backlash should be solved.

The reason his poison pills failed to solve his problem was that the upper limit of his poison pills was fixed.

If one's soul power cannot break through, the poison pill can only absorb a limited amount of toxins, and the toxins in the body will continue to accumulate, preventing him from breaking through to the next level, thus creating a vicious cycle.

However, soul bones do not seem to have this restriction.

Soul bones are absorbed by soul masters, becoming both a part of the soul master and an external object.

There shouldn't be any storage limitations.

Especially if it's a poison-attribute soul bone

Perhaps the power of the soul skill of the soul bone can be enhanced as a result.

Isn't this the solution to the root cause?

"This method only solves the individual problem, but does not address the root cause of the backlash from the spirit poison. Right now, the Dugu family has the Poison Douluo backing them up, so they may be able to equip their members with spirit bones, but future Dugu family spirit masters may not have this privilege."

Dugu Bo, however, did not feel anything was wrong.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

He doesn't care what happens to his future generations.

He's content as long as he and his granddaughter can live well.

Su Wen could also see the other party's attitude.

He would be satisfied if he could perfect the method of channeling toxins into the soul bone.

But that won't do.

In this case, Su Wen felt that the help he provided was not enough and he could not get into the herb garden.

How can you be so easily satisfied?

"Your Majesty—"

"Since you call Yan'er 'sister,' then you can just call me Grandpa Dugu."

Su Wen:

I feel like you're taking advantage of me.

Um, I actually wanted to be your equal, but now you want me to call you grandpa? How is that possible?

"I actually have some ideas about a way to truly cure it."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Dugu Bo was now patient enough to listen to Su Wen continue.

This kid's theory seems pretty good.
