Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 253 The Method of Condensing the Elixir

The Medusa skull is a skull produced by a snake-type spirit beast.

"The situation isn't that bad."

Poison Douluo murmured softly.

In pursuit of more powerful soul skills, they chose a soul beast with a completely different origin from the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, further exacerbating the situation.
Fortunately, the soul bones were compatible.

All I need to do is find a few more snake-type soul bones or jade-phosphorus-type soul bones to help me overcome the conflict with the toxins.

The brilliance of theory shone on his profile. Han Taoyan's lectures were not about treating the symptoms with pharmacology and toxicology, but about the broad road to cultivating the foundation and origin of martial spirit.

"Kid!" he shouted at Han Tao.

"I just overheard some of your theories, and I feel very ashamed."

Such acts as stealing knowledge or eavesdropping are shameful in any world.

At this moment, Poison Douluo's demeanor was extremely composed, acknowledging his mistake:

"Your theory is quite important to me. I, Dugu Bo, am not an ungrateful person, so this time..."

"Even if I owe you a favor."

Actually, he had two options.

Either kill Han Tao, or the person directly responsible will naturally feel no guilt. Don't doubt Dugu Bo's moral bottom line; he is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

but
He had fought Han Tao before and failed to win, so he abandoned that option after only a moment's thought and instead adopted the same plan as Prince Xue Xing.

As compensation, I owe someone a favor.

"Okay!" Han Tao nodded.

Ye Lingling's cool eyes stared at Han Tao's profile, a slight doubt rising in her heart.

Han Tao possesses a soundproofing technique that could completely block Poison Douluo's eavesdropping, so why didn't he use it when they were talking?

Normally she was very meticulous, and Ye Lingling didn't think Han Tao could make such a small mistake.
"you"

"It seems there's another purpose behind it?"

She stretched out her fair finger and poked Han Tao's shoulder.

Han Tao first bowed, then asked with reverence, "Senior Poison Douluo!"

"Your research on blood vessels and toxins is equally in-depth; I'd like to learn about your theoretical findings."

Perhaps feeling that his request was a bit excessive, Han Tao added, "But rest assured, I will offer a theory of corresponding value in exchange."

Ye Junlan's eyes lit up slightly.

Han Tao's manners were impeccable at this moment, and even according to Yuexuan's strict rules, there was nothing wrong with them.

"Oh?" Poison Douluo smiled.

He took out a small, emerald-green snake from his robe. The snake's eyes contained a faint glow, and it appeared harmless, like a precious pet.

"Bamboo Leaf Green?" Ye Lingling asked.

Nine-section jadeite is a variant of bamboo leaf green jadeite.

Hard as iron, imbued with a deep green hue, its tiny body conceals an extremely potent poison.

An ordinary Soul Master would die within three quarters of an hour if bitten by one.

Dugu Bo hummed in agreement: "I call him Nine-Section Jadeite, he is a pet I have carefully nurtured."

"In order to cultivate this soul beast, I used several kinds of powerful medicines and poisons, and even activated a celestial herb."

The expensive bamboo leaf green is cultivated using the herb *Mesona chinensis* as the main ingredient and other medicinal materials as adjuvants.

"Bamboo Leaf Green? What a waste!"

Han Tao sighed, then asked, "What kind of magical herb is it?"

Poison Douluo pondered for a while, then suddenly realized that with his theoretical level, he seemed unable to decipher the name of this immortal herb.

"It is a bamboo stalk with nine sections, and it is emerald green in color."

Hearing the word "bamboo," a strangely familiar plant, startled Han Tao.

Then he suddenly asked, "Are there any other bamboo trees around?"

"No!" This time, Dugu Bo gave a precise answer.

Han Tao stared at the small snake, not daring to make any rash moves.

Cultivating it from immortal herbs and several kinds of great medicines, it is obviously not feasible to suppress the toxicity with conventional medicinal materials, and I don't have the Mysterious Jade Hand, so I can't rashly grab it.

Then, Han Tao slowly uttered two words: "Whale glue!"

"Within the limits of physical aptitude, whale glue can enhance a Soul Master's physique!"

At this point, Han Tao used more precise wording.

Whale gelatin can improve physical fitness, adding the prerequisite of physical aptitude.

"Whale glue?"

Dugu Bo asked curiously, then began to ponder.

"A certain aphrodisiac for sexual purposes, described in Imperial Romance 1-2."

Ye Lingling gave a soft hum, recalling that Ning Rongrong had mentioned this book, which was written by Mr. Wolong, Ning Tian.

As for the physical attributes Han Tao mentioned, I don't understand what that is, but improving one's physique is the key point, and it's extremely important.

Dugu Yan once sought Han Tao's help, and Han Tao's advice was:
Whether pursuing pure toxicology or mixed pharmacology, seeking treatment and improving physical health is the right direction in general.

Physical strength determines the upper limit of the body's tolerance to toxins.

"If whale gelatin can enhance physical strength, then some of the hidden dangers of the immortal herb's poison can be eliminated!"

He smiled with satisfaction.

Han Tao, however, said, "Don't be too happy yet!"

"As for how to absorb the medicinal power of whale glue in the event of a conflict with the immortal herbs, you will need to figure that out yourself."

Poison Douluo's lips curled up slightly: "This is no problem for me!"

To prove his confidence, he pinched the nine sections of jade, wrapped them around his waist, and tied a knot.

He then tied the package around his neck and handed it to Han Tao, saying, "Here, this is your reward!"

"Ok!"

Han Tao took it, glanced at it indifferently, and casually tossed it into the soul tool.

"This bamboo viper may have eaten a rare herb, the solitary bamboo, or it may not have eaten a solitary bamboo, resulting in unpredictable changes."

"Later, once there is a breakthrough in the theory of microstructure, or a transformation in mental strength and observational ability, a more careful observation may yield new insights."

Then, Han Tao continued to stare at Dugu Bo.

"actually."

"I don't care about that. What I want to know is the method for condensing the Danzhu!"

The nine-section jadeite was merely an unexpected bonus.

There have been four instances of pills in the Douluo Continent: Dugu Bo's poison pill, the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The Poison Douluo's pill is connected to his lifeblood; they are born of the same lineage, and if one perishes, the other perishes as well!
"This is."

"A feasible case of bloodline power condensation, and also a reference for the condensation of the [Soul Core]!"

Dugu Bo looked puzzled: "Danzhu?"

How did you know I had the Danzhu?

Han Tao explained with a smile: "Some snake-type soul beasts need to condense their own dan pearl to break through 100,000 years, and I'm just speculating that you might have the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor that your Azure Phosphorous Serpent evolved into."

Ye Lingling suddenly realized, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "No wonder Han Tao was willing to let him eavesdrop."

Poison Douluo's expression stiffened, and his voice sounded somewhat bleak: "Actually, my ability to condense the Pill Pearl is not because of my profound knowledge of pharmacology and toxicology."

"It's not because of my theory; ultimately, it relies on external factors!"

Therefore, he does not attribute his success to himself, which is different from Yu Xiaogang.

"The Seven Absolute Azure Phosphorus Flower changed my soul power and also caused my martial soul to evolve, condensing a highly poisonous inner core."
