Chapter 266: Summary of Materials: The Poison Backlash is Resolved

The gathering ended, and Dugu Yan returned to her residence.

Upon recalling the appearance of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, she could not help but smile.

It took her a good while to calm down; it was time to get down to business.

She picked up her Mobile Phone, preparing to read the materials.

Previously, she had endured the boredom and persisted in reading over three thousand articles.

Now she only needed to read twenty, yet her heart could not remain calm.

Dugu Yan thought of her grandfather at the Spirit Hall Transformation Field, then thought of her late father.

Her mood instantly sank.

The twenty articles of material were very rich in content.

Unlike when she read the previous three thousand, where she had just skimmed through them,

she was reading these twenty very earnestly.

Three weeks later, she had finished all twenty, and every single one contained knowledge that Dugu Yan needed.

The twenty articles analyzed the Poison Attribute martial soul thoroughly; Dugu Yan suspected that the Spirit Hall had collected data on every Poison Attribute martial soul across the entire continent before organizing, summarizing, and researching them to publish these materials.

These twenty articles were extremely precious to a Spirit Master with a Poison Attribute martial soul.

Dugu Yan wanted to take these materials to her grandfather right now.

That's right, these materials introduced several plans for resolving the issues of a Poison Attribute martial soul.

Plan one: remove the toxicity.

There are several methods to remove toxicity.

The first method is to find a Spirit Master skilled in Detoxification; among them, Wood Attribute spirits and food-type spirits have the best effects with their Detoxification soul skills.

The second method is Detoxification Pill medicine, though the prerequisite is that it can completely remove the toxins; if it only removes a portion of the toxicity, it can only serve to delay the inevitable, and sooner or later, one will still be backlashed by the toxicity.

The third is Immortal Herb; Immortal Herb is rare, but its Detoxification effect is the best, and it can even grant the attribute of permanent immunity to toxins.

The fourth is the Soul Guidance Shackle that the Spirit Hall uses on prisoners, which can extract all soul power from the body, including the soul power containing toxicity.

Long-term Detoxification can not only extend the time before the toxicity backlashes, but if one is lucky, it can also cause the martial soul to mutate.

There are two types of mutation: one where the toxicity becomes stronger, and one where there is no toxicity at all.

Plan two: condense a Poison Pill.

Compress soul power, eventually condensing it into a Poison Pill.

Compressing soul power autonomously is difficult, but one can borrow external force.

Being under gravity for a long time can allow soul power to be compressed.

Taking special pills can also assist in soul power compression.

Condense a Poison Pill to completely control the toxins.

Plan three: store toxins in a soul bone.

Force the toxins inside the body into a soul bone.

However, soul bones of different ages have different capacities.

The higher the age of the soul bone, the greater the capacity.

The best for storing toxins is an External Spirit Bone; toxins are also a form of energy and can help the External Spirit Bone grow.

Among External Spirit Bones, the best are those provided by Poison Attribute Soul Beasts.

Most of their attached skills are related to poison; storing toxins can not only help the soul bone grow but also make the soul skill more powerful.

Plan four: store toxins in a Spirit Ring.

The Spirit Hall is still researching this plan and has not made it public yet.

These are the several solutions Dugu Yan summarized after reading the twenty articles.

Except for storing toxins in a Spirit Ring, all other methods have successful cases.

For plan one, the method of removing toxins, the first and second methods are useless to Dugu Yan, the third, Immortal Herb, is undoubtedly the best method according to the introduction, but Immortal Herb is hard to find, and the fourth method—isn't that exactly the method her grandfather is using?

It mentioned later that long-term Detoxification would cause the martial soul to mutate; she just doesn't know what her grandfather's martial soul will eventually mutate into.

For plan two, condensing a Poison Pill, her grandfather seems to have a Poison Pill, which has a certain effect, but it is not as good as the effect described in the materials.

It seems there is something wrong with her grandfather's Poison Pill.

However, the materials say that after condensing a Poison Pill, one can completely control the toxins.

This is very attractive to Dugu Yan; the first plan, removing toxicity, would undoubtedly lead to a decrease in strength, but condensing a Poison Pill would not; instead, it would increase her strength.

The Poison Attribute Soul Beast External Spirit Bone in plan three is very attractive; soul bones are already rare, let alone External Spirit Bones, and a Poison Attribute External Spirit Bone at that.

Since the Spirit Hall materials mentioned this, it means someone in the Spirit Hall has absorbed a Poison Attribute External Spirit Bone.

This External Spirit Bone is a matter of luck; it is not something you can get just by hunting Soul Beasts, it must be absorbed together when absorbing a Spirit Ring.

Which person in the Spirit Hall is so lucky?

Plan three undoubtedly requires luck, and both Dugu Yan and her grandfather have full Spirit Rings, so this plan is completely ineffective for them.

However, Dugu Yan suddenly thought of one thing.

When the Spirit Hall previously announced the Summoner profession, they said that Spirit Rings could be removed.

She had read the newspaper at the time, which said that after removal and contracting a Soul Beast, a Spirit Ring would be condensed again.

After removal, can one absorb a Spirit Ring again?

The materials previously released by the Spirit Hall did not mention this.

If the Soul Beast was hunted and absorbed by oneself, it is truly impossible to absorb another one after removal or if the Spirit Ring is completely shattered.

Because when absorbing that Soul Beast's Spirit Ring, a part of the Soul Beast's soul enters the Spirit Master's soul, which is equivalent to placing a mark, so one cannot absorb another Spirit Ring.

But if Jerry helps to clear the Soul Beast's soul from the Spirit Master's soul, then one can re-absorb a Spirit Ring.

Spirit Rings generated using a Spirit Ring manufacturing machine have the soul within the Spirit Ring destroyed immediately after generation, so if removed, they can also be re-absorbed.

Where did Dugu Yan's Spirit Rings come from? She hunted Soul Beasts herself, and there were also God-Bestowed Soul Rings.

So Dugu Yan, you absolutely cannot go and try it; if you try it, you'll die!

Although Dugu Yan thought of this, the Spirit Hall did not say so, and she did not dare to try it herself.

Trying it herself would also mean gambling on luck.

In the end, Option Three, not considered.

As for Option Four, the Spirit Hall only mentioned a name.

Judging from the name, it is to store poison into the Spirit Ring.

But how to operate it, the Spirit Hall did not make it public.

However, by comparison, this plan has the same miraculous effect as a soul bone.

If this method is feasible, nine Spirit Rings, plus one God Ring, that would be how much poison to store.

This method is undoubtedly too attractive to Dugu Yan.

Her heart is now very urgently wanting to know how to do it; holding her Mobile Phone, she feels as if her heart is being scratched by a cat, very uncomfortable.

This Spirit Hall, it's infuriating; they stated the beginning, but not the process.

It makes people feel very uncomfortable after reading it, yet there is no way to do anything about it.

Of all the plans, for Dugu Yan now, only condensing a Poison Pill is of any use.

After condensing a Poison Pill, she could store the toxins from the soul bone into the Poison Pill.

The above mentioned two ways to compress soul power.

Gravity and medicinal pills.

As for gravity, there is a Gravity Field outside.

Which kind of medicinal pill? Again, no name is mentioned.

Dugu Yan looked through all the medicinal pills published by the Spirit Hall, and there were no medicinal pills that could compress soul power.

The Spirit Hall is not acting like humans, hiding this kind of medicinal pill.

However, this cannot stump me; Grandpa has a Poison Pill, let's go ask Grandpa how his Poison Pill came about first.

In the evening, Dugu Yan found her grandfather again and told him everything she had found; listening to it, Dugu Bo sighed repeatedly, these solutions are truly ingenious ideas.

Dugu Bo inferred based on his own experience that they were actually all feasible, but each method had too many prerequisites.

Especially when Dugu Yan mentioned condensing a Poison Pill, Dugu Bo did not know if his Pill Bead counted as a Poison Pill.

After his martial soul, the Jade Phosphorus Serpent, evolved into the Snake Empress, it condensed a Pill Bead; the Pill Bead is connected to Dugu Bo's heart and blood, and half of his strength is in this bead.

Because this Pill Bead is poisonous, Dugu Bo calls it his Poison Pill.

This is completely different from the Poison Pill introduced in the Spirit Hall's materials.

His Poison Pill also cannot store all the toxins; it can only store half, so he will still be backlashed by the toxicity.

Judging from the effect, his Pill Bead is not quite worthy of being called a Poison Pill.

He told Dugu Yan about his Pill Bead, and his martial soul evolution at the time was completely an accident; he also did not know how it happened.

Although his Pill Bead can only store half, it is too similar to the function of a Poison Pill; it seems his understanding of the Pill Bead is still too little.

However, there is really no way to study it now; the Pill Bead belongs to a part of his own body, and this Soul Guidance Shackle has also extracted the soul power inside it; it can be called an all-around extraction, not missing a single bit.

Other plans of his have too many restrictions and cannot be implemented at all, but isn't the Soul Guidance Shackle plan exactly his current situation?

And he belongs to the lucky ones mentioned in the data, his martial soul has already begun to mutate.

"Yanyan, these materials were searched using your Mobile Phone, right? Try using your friend's Mobile Phone; doesn't he have an internal staff number? Try to see if the search results are the same."

Dugu Bo was just saying it casually; it didn't matter whether there were any or not, these materials were already very comprehensive now.

It's just a gamble; if there happens to be more, that would be even better, and if not, it doesn't matter.

The prison area has no mobile phone signal; Dugu Yan left the prison and sent a message to Tang San, asking Tang San to try searching.

Very quickly, Tang San replied with a message, which was a screenshot of the search results.

On the screenshot, besides the twenty pieces of data Dugu Yan had already seen, there was one more.

Then she sent a message to Tang San, and Tang San quickly sent the data for this one over as a screenshot.

This one is not very long, but the content completely subverts Dugu Yan's cognition.

In this piece of data, there is no mention of Immortal Herbs, nor is there an introduction to medicinal pills; it is a specific introduction to the fourth plan.

This piece of data is written like this: besides the Soul Power Seed in the martial soul, Soul Power Seeds can also be condensed in the Spirit Ring, and then by injecting soul power of the same attribute, the Spirit Ring's age can be increased.

Using one's own soul power to increase the Spirit Ring's age is relatively slow, and it is not recommended to use it.

It also introduced the method of condensing a Soul Power Seed in the Spirit Ring later.

The ending points out that if it is a Poison Attribute martial soul, one can try using one's own soul power to increase the Spirit Ring's age to prevent toxic backlash.

It is recommended that a Poison Attribute martial soul absorb a Wood Attribute Spirit Ring; in this way, injecting soul power can not only increase the Spirit Ring's age but also find a place to store the toxins.

This data simply subverted Dugu Yan's cognition; it turns out she could increase the Spirit Ring's age herself; this is simply unbelievable.

Dugu Yan's sixth Spirit Ring was exactly a Spirit Ring absorbed from a Wood Attribute Soul Beast; at the time, she was traveling alone and encountered a severely injured Plant Soul Beast, a 50,000-year Mirage Poison Flower, and she solved it without much effort.

She had previously regretted that her sixth Spirit Ring was not a snake-type Spirit Ring, but now it seems this is her turning point.

According to the introduction in the data, first use Spirit Power to restrict the Spirit Ring, then start injecting soul power; the Poison Attribute is classified as a lower level of the Wood Attribute, so her Poison Attribute soul power should be able to condense a Wood Attribute Soul Power Seed.

As soul power was injected, because it was restricted in the Spirit Ring by Spirit Power, these soul powers began to run around wildly.

After injecting a certain amount, these soul powers began to fuse with each other, finally forming a green-black Soul Power Seed.

The Wood Attribute Soul Power Seed is green, and poison belongs to a lower level of the Wood Attribute, so the color is green-black.

It is exactly the same as what was said in the data.

The method of condensing a Soul Power Seed in a Spirit Ring was initially only known to Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Jerry's fellow disciples.

Later, when Jerry's strength improved, he no longer cared about this, so he published a portion of the data on condensing a Soul Power Seed.

As for the method of condensing a Soul Power Seed of an attribute other than one's own, he did not publish it.

If there were someone like him who also created a Crystal Ball in Wuhun City, wouldn't it all be over?

However, this was already enough for Dugu Yan.

After condensing the Soul Power Seed, Dugu Yan felt that Cultivation had become different; previously, only her martial soul was absorbing soul power from the heavens and earth, but now this Spirit Ring was also absorbing it.

However, it was a bit of a pity that the soul power absorbed by the martial soul would be transmitted into the body, while what the Spirit Ring absorbed was stored within the Spirit Ring to provide for the growth of the Spirit Ring's years.

Besides letting the Spirit Ring absorb it on its own, one could actively inject soul power into it.

Dugu Yan released a wisp of soul power with the Poison Attribute from her soul bone, then forced this wisp of soul power to enter the Spirit Ring; once it entered the Spirit Ring, it was absorbed by the Soul Power Seed, safe and sound, without any accidents.

Subsequently, Dugu Yan began to extract a large amount of poison from her soul bone, injecting it all into the Spirit Ring.

The time of one night ended very quickly.

Dugu Yan clearly felt that the soul skill of this Spirit Ring of hers had a slight improvement, and then she checked her physical condition; this Spirit Ring had increased from its previous fifty thousand years to fifty thousand and one years.

This was also because Dugu Yan was already a god-level powerhouse with abundant soul power; if it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to increase it by one year in a single night.

However, even if it increased by one year a night, increasing by 365 years a year, for a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, this really didn't count for much.

No wonder it was said above that the speed was relatively slow and it was not recommended for use.

It would be better to go to the Spirit Hall to upgrade the Spirit Ring; as long as one's Body Strength was high, one could increase it by ten thousand years at once.

However, what Dugu Yan valued was not this, but that the Spirit Ring could truly store toxins; the upper limit of a Spirit Ring was very high, so the toxins could be stored continuously.

Wouldn't this mean that a single Spirit Ring could solve the problem of a martial soul with the Poison Attribute?

Dugu Yan was being a bit wishful; in the past, everyone did not know about Spirit Power, and even if some people had it, their Spirit Power was very low, so they couldn't discover the Soul Power Seed at all, nor could they manage to restrict the soul power from running out of the Spirit Ring.

Even now, after Jerry published the Jerry Meditation Method, many people were practicing it, but for most people, their Spirit Power only reached around eight or nine hundred, which was their limit.

To be able to use Spirit Power to restrict soul power from running out of the Spirit Ring, one's Spirit Power needed to be at least two thousand.

Therefore, Dugu Yan's claim that a single Spirit Ring could solve the problem of a martial soul with the Poison Attribute was actually not that simple; there were still many prerequisites.

That Dugu Yan was able to condense the Soul Power Seed in one go was entirely because she herself had become a god and her Spirit Power was high, so naturally, it was easy for her to learn some low-level things.
