Chapter 35: Experimental Notes

Dugu Yan held the notebook in her hands, filled with intense curiosity, and opened it.

She saw that the notebook recorded—

【Experiments on the toxicity of Jade Phosphor Snake Poison show that it has a certain corrosiveness and adhesiveness to inorganic matter, but it has a violent reaction to biological organisms and causes even more severe corrosive effects.】

【The toxin exhibits neurotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and corrosiveness; it is a mixed toxin that takes effect rapidly after mixing with blood and bodily fluids.】

【A dose of 10 micrograms is enough to kill a mouse. When using a mammal like a rabbit for the experiment, 1 gram of snake venom is still lethal. When using a chimpanzee, which is genetically close to humans, 3g of snake venom reaches the lethal dose...】

【The dosage and time of death are in the following table...】

【Sub-lethal doses of snake venom cause the experimental animals to become listless and suffer from systemic failure, with the toxicity flaring up due to overcast and rainy weather.】

【The symptoms of the experimental subjects are as follows: during overcast and rainy weather, there is a suspected sensation of numbness, itching, or discomfort in the subjects' flanks, which gradually intensifies over time. Records show most flare-ups occur at the Hour of the Horse and the Hour of the Rat, lasting for two hours...】

【During the third watch of the night, the subjects show suspected intense pain in the head and heart, accompanied by full-body convulsions, lasting for one hour...】

【Experiments prove that the snake venom is not resistant to high or low temperatures, but in low and high-temperature environments, the toxicity weakens as the temperature changes. Complete inactivation requires a high temperature of at least 1000 degrees or more; the exact temperature is unknown. The inactivation temperature under low temperatures is unknown...】

【The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in Yan-jie's body, inherited from her parents who died from its backlash, is naturally more potent than ordinary Jade Phosphor Snake Poison because their soul power level was approximately that of a Soul Saint when they died. It is inferred from this that soul power cultivation below the Soul Saint level cannot completely suppress this snake venom.】

But now, seeing this experimental notebook of Ning Feiliu...

She was suddenly very curious.

【After experimental subjects injected with sub-lethal doses of snake venom give birth to offspring, the snake venom in the mother's body is passed on to the offspring, and as the offspring grows and develops, the toxicity of the toxin in their body will be stronger than that of the mother...】

【The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in Yan-jie's body can be suppressed through soul power, but at the same time, the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison will increase as cultivation increases, and the backlash of the toxin will be even more violent...】

Dugu Yan continued to read, and then she saw...

So she had never felt there was any problem with the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in her body; she felt that the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison could be controlled by herself.

Feiliu, he...

It suddenly mentioned... her here?

Dugu Yan quickly read through the experimental records and conclusions about the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison above, but she felt something was amiss.

What?

Mom and Dad... did they not die at the hands of enemies, but because the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in their bodies backlashed against them and killed them?!

All this time, she had not known that her parents had died due to the backlash of their own toxins.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan's pupils in her beautiful eyes suddenly shrank.

Her hands began to tremble...

【... and the time of death for the offspring is faster than that of the mother, presenting symptoms of sudden death, with no prior warning to the experimental subject itself.】

Ning Feiliu's experiments were completely different from his previous ones, which involved extracting chemical components.

She looked at her long, slender fingers; could she... really completely control the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in her body?

This was naturally because Dugu Bo had been hiding it from her all along.

It was more like... analyzing the mechanism of the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison's flare-ups, and then using this to research an antidote or a method to cure the poison.

Especially the later notes, which seemed to be researching how to detoxify offspring who had been poisoned by the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison from the mother's womb?

Dugu Yan continued to read.

【The toxin in Yan-jie's body presents in an erosive form; hair and fingernails have both tested positive for a certain amount of potent Jade Phosphor Snake Poison, which is why they present a jade-green appearance...】

Dugu Yan looked at Ning Feiliu lying on the bed and quickly stepped back a few paces.

Feiliu, he... will he be poisoned by the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison because he touched me?!

Her breathing suddenly became a bit rapid; she... did not want Ning Feiliu to suffer any harm.

But now, she had become the person most likely to harm Ning Feiliu?

And... was she soon to be running out of time?

The fear of death made Dugu Yan's breathing even more rapid.

But she did not want to harm Ning Feiliu.

She looked at the sleeping Ning Feiliu and bit her lip.

Dugu Yan put the experimental notebook back under Ning Feiliu's pillow, then immediately turned around and left the room, moving far away from there.

The core area of the Sunset Forest.

Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"The son of Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" an old man with a peculiar appearance asked, listening to the guard from Prince Xuexing's mansion before him.

This old man was thin and long, looking like a javelin; his hair and beard were all ink-green, and his eyes shone like emeralds.

Moreover, his whole person gave off an illusory feeling, as if he were a phantom; his face was expressionless, or rather, the expression on his face was completely stiff, his cheeks were sunken, his green hair was messy, and the clothes on his body were just a simple gray robe.

And he was none other than the terrifying, righteous yet evil Poison Douluo—Dugu Bo.

He was also Ning Feiliu's primary target to conquer.

It was just that Dugu Bo obviously did not know about this; he had only noticed over the past half-year that Dugu Yan liked to go to Heaven Dou City alone.

At first, he hadn't paid any attention to it.

But later, Dugu Yan would always reveal a smile from time to time, which made Dugu Bo curious.

So he had Prince Xuexing send people to investigate Dugu Yan's recent whereabouts and who she was associating with closely.

"Yes..." the guard said, "That Ning Feiliu is indeed the third son of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, but Ning Fengzhi's sons all have low talent; Ning Feiliu currently appears to still be only at the Spirit Master level."

"Low talent, and only at the Spirit Master level now?" Dugu Bo was somewhat disappointed.

Originally, upon hearing he was Ning Fengzhi's son and of a similar age to Dugu Yan, he had had some ideas.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength was also very powerful, and after the Clear Sky Sect retreated from the Douluo Dalu, it had the tendency to be the number one sect in the world.

If Dugu Yan married into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she could live happily under the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Then, even if Dugu Bo were to die from poison or be harmed by others in the future, he could die with a smile.

However, with Ning Feiliu's talent and strength, he was destined to never have a very high status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and since he was an Auxiliary System Soul Master, how could he protect Dugu Yan?

"However, it is said that this young man's medical skills are superb; he can even bring the dead back to life," the guard said.

"He can even bring the dead back to life?" Dugu Bo was suddenly curious.

Even he dared not guarantee he could bring the dead back to life, yet this greenhorn Ning Feiliu could?

In fact, it was not bringing the dead back to life; Ning Feiliu merely used the "Timely Rescue Potion" to sustain the lives of those who had only one breath left, and then performed emergency treatment to save them.

It was not truly being able to bring the dead back to life.

But in the eyes of outsiders, he had saved people who were already dead.

Especially the people in the commoner district; they did not understand these things, they only knew Ning Feiliu's medical skills were too incredible, so they exaggerated the rumors.

Just as Dugu Bo was feeling curious, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside!

"Grandpa!"

Speaking of the plot issues... if I write the protagonist taking off so quickly, then what am I supposed to write about after the book goes live, so it will be a bit slower.

But I won't wait until it goes live to change his martial soul; looking at it now, it will probably change around chapter forty.

For now, I'm still writing the romantic plot and mission foreshadowing; the next one to appear is Ye Lingling, and I will definitely write about the romance and mission setup, and later give Yafei some talent or something.

No rush, after all, this book hasn't been recommended yet, so can't a guy stall the plot a bit to chase some stats?

After all, it's the free period, you can't expect too much.

If you brothers want to keep reading, just let the chapters accumulate, and then read them all at once on Tuesday; it just so happens that the recommendation schedule looks at Tuesday's data.
