Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 19 Detoxification Method

"Grandpa, I've actually thought of three ways that might solve the problem of your and Yan Yan's martial soul backlash," Lin Yizhang continued.

"Oh, tell me about it." Dugu Bo's tone was indifferent, clearly not holding out much hope.

After all, he had tried every method he could think of, but none of them worked.

"The first method is to absorb a poison-attribute external soul bone or soul bone."

Similar to how a venomous snake stores its venom in a venom sac.

By forcing the toxins in the body into the soul bone, one should be able to avoid being poisoned by the backlash of the martial soul.

Before Lin Yizhang could continue, Dugu Bo stood up and laughed loudly, "That's right, a soul bone, how come I didn't think of that?"

Lin Yizhang rolled his eyes and said, "Grandpa, I haven't finished speaking yet, and you interrupted me."

Dugu Bo waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Ahem, I got too excited. Please continue."

"The second method is to cultivate a technique that can guide the soul power in the body to condense poison pills."

Forcing the poison into the poison pill should also solve the problem.

The third method is to find two special herbs.

One of them is the 'Eight-Cornered Ice Grass', which grows in extremely cold places.

The other one is the 'Fiery Apricot' which grows in extremely hot places.

Both of these herbs are top-grade poisonous plants, but when placed together, they can counteract each other's toxicity within ten breaths, allowing people to swallow them successfully.

After consuming these two herbs, one will develop a body impervious to water and fire, becoming immune to most toxins.

Dugu Bo said, "I think the first method is the best. Zhang'er, don't worry, I will find a way to help Yanyan detoxify."

As for me, the toxins have already seeped into my bone marrow, so I can't easily try to expel them.

Dugu Yan said urgently, "No, Grandpa, there must be a way to cure the poison in your body."

"Yizhang, do you have any other way to help my grandfather detoxify as well?" Dugu Yan asked, then turned to look at Lin Yizhang.

Lin Yizhang said, "Yanyan, don't rush, let me finish what I have to say first."

Grandpa, actually I don't really agree with Yan Yan using a soul bone to expel poison, unless it's an external soul bone.

Let me analyze the pros and cons of these three methods for you, and you'll understand.

The advantage of the first method is that it is easier to implement compared to the other two methods.

The downside is that external soul bones are hard to find, and if ordinary soul bones are used, they lack growth potential and have limited capacity to withstand toxins.

After all, even a soul bone that has been around for 100,000 years cannot withstand the long-term attack of a Title Douluo-level poison.

If one uses the limbs as soul bones, one can still save their life by cutting off the limbs when they are full of poison.

However, if it is a torso soul bone or a head soul bone, then death is certain!

The advantage of the second method is that the poison pills cultivated can not only store toxins.

It can also be used in combat, and without the problem of toxins, you can safely cultivate and improve your strength.

The drawback is that this method is hard to find, and whether it can be effective is still unknown.

The advantage of the third method is that it is effective and will definitely detoxify the body.

The downside is that these two herbs are hard to find, and if this method is used to detoxify, it would be tantamount to crippling the Poison Soul Master's martial arts.

But saving one's life is still a good option.

Dugu Bo remained silent, pondering the pros and cons. After a while, he said, "I also have a poison pill in my body. It condensed on its own when I broke through to the Title Douluo level. It can indeed absorb toxins."

The reason I wasn't immediately poisoned to death by the surge in toxins after becoming a Title Douluo was because it autonomously condensed a large amount of toxins within my body.

However, the poison pills will also release toxins from the body, so the second method is not feasible.

"No, no, no, Grandpa, I think the second method is the best solution."

The poison pill in your body condensed on its own, and you don't actually know how to control it, do you?

In my opinion, Grandpa, you just lack a suitable cultivation technique to utilize this poison pill.

"Otherwise, you would have been able to get rid of the backlash from your own martial spirit long ago," Lin Yizhang said.

Dugu Bo asked in confusion, "What kind of cultivation technique is this? Is it a special meditation method? But isn't meditation only for cultivating soul power?"

Lin Yizhang explained: "The technique can indeed be understood as a special meditation method."

Different cultivation methods can achieve effects other than enhancing soul power by guiding soul power to circulate through different meridians in the body.

Meridians can be understood as channels through which the soul power within the body can circulate.

My second martial soul is my physical body; I can sense the meridians within myself.

That meditation method that instinctively increases cultivation speed was something I created myself through trial and error.

Once I break through level 30 and become a Soul Master, I am confident that I can create a cultivation technique suitable for you and Yan Yan, Grandpa.

Therefore, I believe the second method is the best.

"Really, Zhang'er, are you really sure?" Dugu Bo asked excitedly.

After seeing Lin Yizhang nod in confirmation.

Dugu Bo calmed his excited emotions and said, "It's okay if we don't create the cultivation technique you mentioned."

I think I know where to find those two poisonous plants in the third method you mentioned.

Giving it to Yanyan will save her life.

"When Yan Yan loses her strength, you'll have to protect her."

"No, Grandpa, if it doesn't work out, you should use those two herbs. I can think of other ways later," Dugu Yan said, hugging Dugu Bo.

Lin Yizhang assured, "I will protect Yan Yan. Actually, I think Yan Yan might be able to use the external soul bone."

Although the probability of obtaining an external soul bone is very small.

However, I thought of a type of spirit beast that might increase the probability of obtaining an external spirit bone.

That's the Human-Faced Demon Spider; this kind of soul beast is also very suitable for Yan Yan.

The eight spider legs of the Human-Faced Demon Spider could potentially become external soul bones for a Soul Master.

Furthermore, I discovered that soul beasts killed by a soul master alone are more likely to drop soul bones.

Furthermore, the Human-Faced Demon Spider is a top-tier soul beast, making it more likely to drop a soul bone.

Perhaps we can get a pleasant surprise by pooling these low-probability events together.

"A thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider is not something Yan Yan can handle alone," Dugu Bo said.

"I will also take action then. With my strength, provoking the Human-Faced Demon Spider might even increase the probability of obtaining a Soul Bone by a tiny bit."

"And this is also a good opportunity for training. With Grandpa protecting me in secret, there will be no danger," Lin Yizhang said.

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Alright, let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. Human-faced Demon Spiders are ferocious soul beasts. Once they are discovered, they will be attacked by other soul beasts. It will be easier to find them in the Star Dou Great Forest."

The next morning, the three of them boarded a carriage and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

A dozen days later, the three entered the Star Dou Great Forest, directly bypassing the gathering places of ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts, and arrived at the area where thousand-year soul beasts appeared.

"You all stay here for now, I'll go check where the human-faced spiders are." Dugu Bo said and then left.

More than half an hour later, Dugu Bo returned and said to the two of them, "Let's go, I have found a human-faced demon spider that is about 1500 years old."

The two followed Dugu Bo to the vicinity of the location of the human-faced demon spider.

The human-faced spider was sleeping in a secluded spot some distance away.

Dugu Bo immediately concealed himself. Lin Yizhang and Dugu Yan then discussed their countermeasures.

Lin Yizhang said, "The weakness of the human-faced spider lies in its human face on its lower abdomen, and its eight spider legs are very flexible."

Yan Yan, don't get close to it yet. Just attack it with Rasengan.

Let's use up its ability to spit out webs three times a day first.

Lin Yizhang took out a small jar of paint-like dye from his storage necklace.

He continued, "Furthermore, the Human-Faced Demon Spider also has the ability to become invisible, and our mental power may not be able to detect it."

I'll mark it with dye at the beginning, that will break its invisibility skill.

Is that alright?

Dugu Yan nodded, and then the two of them quietly approached the human-faced demon spider.

With about sixty meters remaining, Lin Yizhang threw the dye can at the human-faced spider.

At the same time, a powerful Rasengan was condensed and thrown out.

Sensing the commotion, the human-faced spider instantly stood up and leaped to the side.

The dye jar was shattered by the Rasengan not far from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, scattering dye everywhere, much of it sticking to the spider's body.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Dugu Yan charged toward the human-faced demon spider.

Maintain a distance of about 20 meters from the Spider-Man and unleash a Rasengan to attack it.

Lin Yizhang also used Rasengan in conjunction with Dugu Yan to attack the Human-Faced Demon Spider, intending to deplete the Human-Faced Demon Spider's opportunity to spit out its web.

The human-faced demon spiders at the thousand-year level are already quite intelligent and no longer rely on the instincts of soul beasts to fight.

Since both Lin Yizhang and Dugu Yan's soul skills are amplification-type soul skills.

Even after amplifying itself and unleashing a Rasengan, it still couldn't defeat the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

The human-faced spider's weakness lies in its human-faced abdomen, but it firmly protects this weakness with its hard carapace.

Furthermore, it can move nimbly using its eight spider legs to evade Rasengan attacks.

Neither of them could pose a threat to it, let alone force it to spit out the net.

This won't work. Continuing to attack will consume a lot of soul power. Only by restricting its movement can we have a chance to hurt it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yizhang said to Dugu Yan, "Yan Yan, you should withdraw from the battle first. I'll cripple its spider legs first, and then you can kill it."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan withdrew. Although she didn't know what method Lin Yizhang had to cripple the spider legs of the human-faced demon spider, she still chose to trust Lin Yizhang.
