Those two soul beasts had to be at least over one hundred thousand years old—and Xiao Yan killed them?
Even ordinary Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to pull that off.
To slaughter two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts would require at least several Titled Douluo working together.
That place was a soul beast forest, not some tourist attraction—soul beasts were everywhere.
Dugu Bo felt that using his own experience to judge Xiao Yan was simply making things difficult for himself.
"Let's continue talking about the detoxification," Xiao Yan went on. "The first plan had a very obvious flaw at the beginning: the upper limit of your strength is restricted by your soul bones. Once the poison exceeds what the soul bones can withstand, you'll still end up poisoned. After improvement, the key problem becomes—how do we condense a perfect pill pearl?"
"Then do you have a solution to that?"
Xiao Yan nodded. "That brings us to the second plan after advancement."
"You should know about mimetic environments, right?"
Dugu Bo asked in confusion, "Why bring that up? Aren't we discussing detoxification?"
"A suitable mimetic environment can promote a soul master's cultivation. Likewise, suitable medicinal herbs can promote the growth of a martial soul." As he spoke, Xiao Yan walked to the orchid and pointed at it. "As long as you consume this Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid in front of you, in less than a day, not only will your martial soul undergo another transformation, your strength will also skyrocket!"
"It's just a medicinal herb—this powerful?"Although he said that, Dugu Bo's eyes were already glowing green as he stared at the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid right in front of him. If not for the hardened will he had forged through years of snake poison, he might have swallowed it in one bite already.
Xiao Yan explained, "This herb is at least at the ten-thousand-year level—possibly even a hundred thousand years. Letting your martial soul advance is merely its most basic effect. The most crucial point is that after consuming it, your entire physique will change. As for what level you could cultivate to in the future—hard to imagine."
"If the effects are that good, then why don't I just eat it?" Dugu Bo asked impatiently.
Xiao Yan shook his head. "Don't be happy too soon. Although the second plan is very simple, its flaw is also very obvious."
"What flaw?" Dugu Bo's heart sank as he hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yan spread his hands. "There's only one Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid. If you eat it, your granddaughter won't have any."
Dugu Bo suddenly realized it. Right—this strange plant probably existed as a single specimen on the entire continent.
"Then your third plan should have a complete solution, right?" Dugu Bo sighed.
His gaze swept over the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes as Xiao Yan said, "Everyone's constitution is different. So when using medicine—especially good medicine—it must be matched according to individual conditions."
The third plan involved both universality and specificity. Immortal herbs were excellent, but consuming them recklessly wouldn't just risk killing oneself—it would also waste their medicinal efficacy.
This principle of medicinal application didn't only apply to Dugu Bo and his granddaughter.
When preparing medicinal baths for Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran, although the general selection of herbs was similar, there were still differences in certain ingredients.
Especially Ning Rongrong—she was an auxiliary-type soul master with a weaker foundation, so the medicinal properties had to be gentler.
Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, while his granddaughter was only a Soul Elder slightly above level thirty. Naturally, they couldn't be treated the same way.
"In other words, if you use poison, the dosage required to deal with a Soul Douluo versus a Great Soul Master is obviously different."
After Xiao Yan said this, Dugu Bo understood.
"Using poison is like using medicine. If medicine is used incorrectly, it can become a lethal poison. If poison is used incorrectly, it can also become a life-saving medicine."When treating Emperor Xue Ye, he had always used the method of fighting poison with poison.
That was how he managed to preserve the life of the Tian Dou Empire's emperor.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. "Your strength places you among the top tier on the Douluo Continent. For you, I've further divided things into two treatment plans. The first is to combine several other medicinal herbs and only use part of the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid. Under the stimulation of various medicinal forces, it can produce an effect far surpassing that of consuming the entire Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid alone."
"And what's the second one?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.
The first method was basically the same principle as eating the entire Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid. Naturally, the second sounded better.
Xiao Yan let out a strange laugh. "The second one is truly extraordinary."
Hearing Xiao Yan's eerie laughter, Dugu Bo felt a chill down his spine. "Why do I feel like you're not holding in anything good?"
Xiao Yan hummed. "Is that how you treat your lifesaver—and the Hall Master of the Soul Hall?"
Dugu Bo's expression immediately turned respectful. "Hall Master, please explain this second method quickly."
Taking a few steps forward, Xiao Yan stopped beside an immortal herb that was snow-white throughout, slender and curved like a swan's neck, and introduced it to Dugu Bo:
"Look at this herb. Its name is Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss. As long as something is contaminated by even a trace of it, originally ordinary poisons will multiply tens of thousands of times in potency. The foundation of your strength lies in poison. If Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss is used to stimulate your snake poison…"
Dugu Bo nodded and analyzed, "Then this old man won't be able to withstand the snake poison, my body will explode, and the released poison will conveniently take you down with me."
"Of course, we wouldn't let you eat the whole thing. It also needs to be supplemented with other medicinal herbs. If successful, your strength will increase noticeably every day. You could even enhance your power by devouring poisons."
Thinking about the possibility of success, Xiao Yan's expression became somewhat excited.
This effect was simply too powerful—it would be like creating a god, a God of Poison.
If the old poison freak truly succeeded, it wouldn't take long for him to surpass Xiao Yan's current strength.
Training such a strong opponent—how stimulating.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan further analyzed, "Strictly speaking, it's not limited to poisons. As long as something is contaminated by your snake poison, you'll be able to devour it."
After finishing the positive side, Xiao Yan's excitement quickly calmed.
"Of course, the danger you mentioned is real. Once it fails, you're almost certainly dead. The poison will overload and shatter the pill pearl, then rapidly spread throughout your body, followed by your body exploding. However, this poison definitely won't be able to take me with it."
"All the detoxification plans have been laid out for you. How you choose is up to you. As for your granddaughter, I still need to learn more, and I'll also make adjustments based on the effects of the treatment plan you choose."
"You little…" Dugu Bo looked at Xiao Yan with a mix of laughter and helplessness. "You really have given this old man a difficult problem."
