Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 42 The method to solve the defects of the Jade Serpent Martial Soul, Dugu Bo's plea!

"Dugu Bo, get up. We can't tell whether you're loyal or not right now, even with those restrictions. Whether you're truly loyal to us depends on your actions, not your words."

"But since you have pledged allegiance to our Spirit Hall, we will naturally not treat you unfairly. I have heard that the Azure Serpent Spirit, although highly toxic, has a great flaw. If the potent toxins of the Azure Serpent Spirit cannot be suppressed, they will poison the user. Is that true?" Lin Xiao said calmly.

The Azure Serpent Martial Soul, while arguably the top-tier poison-attribute Martial Soul among all Martial Souls, possesses extremely potent toxicity. However, its weaknesses are also quite obvious, though initially they are not so bad.

As one's soul power level gradually increases and one absorbs soul rings, the poison of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul becomes more and more potent. In such cases, the Azure Serpent Martial Soul Master must suppress the poison of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul himself. If he cannot suppress it, it will be a disaster for the Azure Serpent Martial Soul Master!

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lin Xiao to ask about this matter. He answered truthfully, "The Holy Son is right. Although the Azure Serpent Martial Soul has extremely potent venom, in terms of toxicity, it can be considered the top among all Martial Souls."

"However, the drawbacks are also very obvious. When the level of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul is low, there are no problems. But as the level of soul power gradually increases and more and more soul rings are absorbed, the poison of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul will erupt, requiring the soul master to suppress it!"

"Back then, I also suffered greatly from the flaws of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. It wasn't until I became a Title Douluo and my Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was upgraded to the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul that the problem was alleviated."

"But unfortunately, even though my martial soul has been upgraded, the flaws of the Azure Serpent martial soul have not disappeared. I can suppress the toxins with my own soul power, but whenever it is cloudy or rainy, my muscles will feel numb and itchy, and this sensation will gradually intensify over an hour, occurring once at noon and once at midnight."

"At the same time, every night, around the third watch of the night, I experience needle-like stabbing pains in my head and the soles of my feet, followed by spasms throughout my body for about half an hour. But thankfully, I am still alive, my son. Sigh."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo thought of his son who died young. He knew the flaws of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. Although he had tried his best to urge his son to cultivate, unfortunately, his son still lost his life because of the flaws of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul.

Even though he has now become a Title Douluo powerhouse and his Jade Serpent Martial Soul has been upgraded to the Jade Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, the flaws still remain. If he doesn't find a way to solve the flaws of the Jade Serpent Martial Soul, his granddaughter Dugu Yan will probably die young like his son!

Hearing Dugu Bo's explanation, Qian Renxue said in disbelief, "Brother Lin Xiao, I never imagined that the Azure Serpent Martial Soul would have such a flaw? The Martial Soul poisons itself, how can that be? Doesn't that mean that if a Soul Master with the Azure Serpent Martial Soul doesn't become a Title Douluo, they will surely die?!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's right. The Azure Serpent Martial Soul has extremely strong venom. If it cannot be suppressed, it will be a disaster for the Azure Serpent Martial Soul Master."

Listening to their conversation, Dugu Bo asked Lin Xiao, "Your Highness, I have spent my entire life searching for a way to resolve the flaws in the Azure Serpent Martial Soul, but unfortunately, I have not found one. I wonder if the Spirit Hall possesses a method to resolve the flaws in the Azure Serpent Martial Soul?"

The Spirit Hall has existed for thousands of years, and its foundation is incredibly powerful. Since he hasn't found a way to solve the flaws in the Azure Serpent Spirit, could the Spirit Hall possibly possess such a method? Besides, he is already loyal to the Spirit Hall.

"Dugu Bo's loyalty to our Spirit Hall is not a loss for you. Perhaps if you had pledged your loyalty to our Spirit Hall earlier, your son might not have died because of the Azure Serpent Spirit. Our Spirit Hall does have a way to solve the defects of the Azure Serpent Spirit, and it can even cure them completely!" Lin Xiao said, looking at Dugu Bo's expectant eyes.

"The Spirit Hall actually exists, hahaha~ Life is unpredictable. Perhaps if I had submitted to the Spirit Hall back then, with my strength at the Soul Douluo level, the Spirit Hall might have chosen to help me," Dugu Bo said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"I don't know what the way is to completely cure the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. Dugu Bo begs Your Highness to tell me. I have nothing to give Your Highness but this strength, which can serve you!" Dugu Bo pleaded.

"Brother Lin Xiao, does our Spirit Hall really have a way to solve the defects of the Azure Serpent Spirit?" Qian Renxue asked Lin Xiao.

"Of course, Xiaoxue, our Spirit Hall has a long history and a foundation spanning thousands of years, which far surpasses that of the two great empires. The Spirit Hall does indeed have a way to eradicate the defects of the Azure Serpent Spirit."

"However, this method requires many rare medicinal herbs, and it is not easy to cure the disease completely. Fortunately, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well contains the medicinal herbs that can cure the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul!" Lin Xiao explained.

He possesses the Hundred Solutions to Immortal Herbs bestowed by the system, and information about all the immortal herbs and spiritual herbs in the world cannot escape his eyes. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye contains spiritual herbs or immortal herbs that can alleviate the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul, but it is very difficult to cure them completely.

At this point, the other functions of the herbal remedy become apparent. It can also be taken in combination with other herbs based on their effects, resulting in unimaginable benefits.

He didn't know if the Spirit Hall had a way to cure the flaws of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul, but he did have one. The method he described was this: combining celestial-grade spiritual herbs with ordinary spiritual herbs as seasonings could cure the flaws of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul.

Moreover, it's not just for individuals; it can also benefit their future children. From then on, if their children awaken the Azure Serpent Martial Soul in the future, the Azure Serpent Martial Soul's toxicity will be retained, but there will be no situation where the Azure Serpent Martial Soul is poisoned.

This can be considered a perfect solution to the flaws of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul.

Lin Xiao didn't actually know the function of the Immortal Herb Hundred Solutions at first. He just thought it was something that told him about all the immortal herbs and spiritual herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. But he didn't know until he came to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He discovered that this was not the case. The "Hundred Solutions to Immortal Herbs" could also create combinations in his mind based on the different immortal herbs and spiritual herbs, according to his requirements, so that he could use them to achieve the desired effect.

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Xiao with sincere eyes. He never expected that the person in front of him who had just tried to kill him would now become his savior!
