Chapter 46: The Method of the Poison Core

Looking at Ning Feiliu's gentle smile, the coldness Dugu Yan had struggled to construct seemed to encounter sunlight, slowly melting away.

Her vision blurred for a moment, and she did not know what to do.

"Sister Yan." Ning Feiliu extended his slender, well-defined fingers toward Dugu Yan, the tenderness in his eyes spilling out like moonlight, "……Trust me."

The defenses in Dugu Yan's heart finally collapsed; all the coldness and strength she had feigned crumbled away completely in that instant.

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, she reached out from her tightly wrapped clothes and, without any further hesitation, grabbed Ning Feiliu's slender palm!

"Feiliu…… can I…… really…… be cured of the…… toxins in my body?" Dugu Yan sobbed, saying with a glimmer of hope in her beautiful eyes.

After all…… she was not a transmigrator like Ning Feiliu or Tang San; she could not act with the maturity of an adult, as she was merely a thirteen-year-old girl this year.

At thirteen, it did not mean she was still young and ignorant, but when truly encountering a major crisis, she lacked life experience, and her heart remained incredibly fragile.

"Absolutely! You can!" Ning Feiliu said earnestly, "I stake my life on it!"

"No!" Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened, and she sobbed, "Even if the toxins in my body cannot be cured…… you must live well."

"Rest assured, the method to resolve the toxins in your body, Sister Yan, and even the method to detoxify the toxins in your grandfather's body, are very easy to solve." Ning Feiliu whispered using soul power transmission, "However, this is not the place to talk."

But it seemed they had only just run out to listen to gossip, and there was much they had not seen or heard.

Just like that, Ning Feiliu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling left the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy again and returned to Ning Feiliu's medical clinic.

After all…… people are always fond of listening to gossip.

Upon returning to the clinic and confirming that no one was listening.

Seeing Dugu Yan, the beloved granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, grabbing a handsome young man and crying and making a scene……

"If Sister Yan possessed a Tool Spirit, it would be much easier; you would only need to condense the toxins in your body onto your martial soul, and all problems would be solved. But since Sister Yan currently uses a Beast Spirit, the toxins have fused with your own body. Although soul power can mobilize and suppress them, they have long since become a part of your body, which is why they cause such great damage to your physique. To retain the deadly poison within your body without letting it harm you—"

"—you must find a place to store the snake venom. And as it happens, Spirit Masters have such a treasure: it can be fused into the body while remaining isolated from the body itself," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

Ning Feiliu had no intention of hiding anything and said directly to Dugu Yan, "Actually, the reason you Jade Phosphor Snake Spirit Masters are backlashed by the snake venom is mainly because the Poison Technique you practice causes the toxins to spread throughout your body due to your Beast Spirit."

"But we don't have things like poison glands or a Poison Pouch……" Dugu Yan frowned and said.

At this moment, Dugu Yan looked around and discovered that the members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy who had been practicing in their respective Mimicry Cultivation Fields had all quietly appeared on the periphery, seemingly peeking or eavesdropping on the situation.

Dugu Yan's pretty face turned red, and then she nodded, saying, "Okay…… let's go back to your place to talk."

This was just too curious.

"It must be like a venomous snake……" Ning Feiliu took out his experimental notebook, flipped to a diagram—an anatomical drawing of a venomous snake's head he had obtained earlier—and said, "Like this, venomous snakes usually have glands and a Poison Pouch; the fangs connect to these two things, allowing them to isolate the backlash of the toxins in daily life while having no impact during combat."

"A soul bone!" Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes lit up as she said.

"Yes, a soul bone." Ning Feiliu nodded and said, "By forcing the snake venom into a soul bone, the soul bone can isolate the toxins from affecting the Spirit Master's body. At the same time, because of this process, it is very likely that your soul power and talent, Sister Yan, will improve by another level!"

"And…… actually, after forcing the toxins into the soul bone, I have another idea."

"What idea?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

"The Poison Core Method!" Ning Feiliu said, "Condensing the Jade Phosphor Snake venom and soul power into a soul power core, turning it into a core that allows you, Sister Yan, to completely control the toxins, while also condensing the world's most potent poison and increasing your soul power!"

This was something he had conceived by combining the Spirit Core from the Peerless Tang Sect era with the Poison Pill Method of Xiao Yixian from the Dou Qi Continent in another world.

During the Peerless Tang Sect era, a Spirit Core had almost become a prerequisite for a Title Douluo; as long as one condensed a Spirit Core, it marked the step into the realm of a Title Douluo.

Furthermore, a Spirit Core would greatly increase a Spirit Master's soul power recovery speed, which meant it could significantly accelerate cultivation speed.

By the time of the Dragon King Legend, the condensation of a Spirit Core was not necessarily limited to the Title Douluo level; it could be done at the Soul Saint stage.

However, the Poison Core Method Ning Feiliu envisioned was less like a Spirit Core and more like Xiao Yixian's Poison Pill Method.

Thinking carefully, the situation where Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo were permeated throughout their bodies by their Poison Technique was actually almost identical to Xiao Yixian's Woe Poison Body.

Perhaps Dugu Yan had not yet reached the level of Xiao Yixian's Woe Poison Body, but Dugu Bo's situation should be quite similar.

Therefore, the Poison Pill Method was perfectly suited to their circumstances.

The most critical point was that the combat power of the Dou Qi Continent was clearly several levels higher than that of the Douluo World, so Xiao Yixian's Poison Pill Method should also be feasible on the Douluo Continent.

After all, downward compatibility is usually very easy, while upward compatibility is certainly impossible.

People at the Dou Zong level on the Dou Qi Continent could walk through the void, and Dou Wangs could manifest wings of Dou Qi.

On the Douluo Continent, even at the Title Douluo stage, one still had to walk on their own two feet; that was quite hard to deal with.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu felt that…… the Douluo Continent compatible version of the Poison Pill Method, the Poison Core Method, should be able to take the strength of Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo to the next level.

Of course, the safest approach for now was still to force the snake venom into a soul bone first.

This method was already feasible and reliable in the original plot and would not involve any danger.

It was just that Ning Feiliu wanted Dugu Yan's strength and talent to be even higher, and coupled with a sudden epiphany, he thought of the example from the neighboring Dou Qi Continent, which led him to ponder this Poison Core Method.

"The Poison Core Method……" Dugu Yan murmured.

Then…… she suddenly jumped up, hugged Ning Feiliu's body, and shouted excitedly, "Wow wow wow wow!! Little Feiliu, you really are a genius!!"

I listened to the opinions of some book friends and decided to give Dugu Yan a cheat, hehehehe. By then, she will be a top-tier talent version of Dugu Yan.

Of course, there is also Dugu Bo. When Dugu Bo practices the Poison Core Method, his combat power will be pulled directly to the level of a Peak Douluo, and the protagonist will be able to run rampant, seeing whose backer is tougher!
