Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 51 Almost Died

After an unknown amount of time, the itching in his body subsided and eventually disappeared. Li Fei slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a world filled with various kinds of grass, with red and blue lights in the distance. Moreover, he could smell a strong sulfurous odor.

"Kid, it's amazing you woke up so quickly!"

Dugu Bo looked surprised. He treated Li Fei with a try-it-and-see attitude, after all, Li Fei's injuries were already on the verge of death, most of his bones were broken, and his internal organs were damaged to varying degrees.

"However, this kid's body is even stronger than that of a Soul Emperor, and the strength of his internal organs has reached an unbelievable level. His self-healing ability is also several times that of an ordinary person. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be confident in curing him!"

With a sigh in his heart, Dugu Bo looked at Li Fei with a puzzled expression. As a master of poisons, Poison Douluo was also an expert in the use of medicines. He wasn't very confident about Li Fei's injuries either. After removing the toxins from his body, he was just trying his luck, hoping it would be a last resort.

"Senior, am I still alive?!" Li Fei, who had just woken up, asked in confusion, his mind still a little foggy.

"Still alive!" Dugu Bo nodded, then a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he said with murderous intent, "However, if your answer doesn't satisfy me later, I will make you wish you were dead."

The chilling killing intent instantly brought Li Fei to his senses. He tried to get up, but found that he was still very weak and could hardly move.

"Although I don't know how you recovered from such a terrifying, fatal wound, your body can't recover immediately. In your current condition, it will take at least half a month to recover!" Dugu Bo sneered, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Now tell me, what does the Spirit Hall want with me?! And how did you find out about me and my granddaughter?!"

"Damn! I've been in Douluo Continent for so long, I'd completely forgotten that this old monster seems to have a grudge against the Spirit Hall. This time, I really brought it on myself!" Li Fei was still shaken, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. "Senior, I came here on my own behalf. I wasn't aware of what had happened between you and the Spirit Hall. As for the poisoning of you and your granddaughter, I deduced it, and I also deduced the treatment method!"

"Oh!" Dugu Bo didn't believe it at all. How could such a far-fetched reason be convincing? With a look of disdain, he directly asked, "Tell me first, how do you deal with the deadly poison in my and my granddaughter's bodies?!"

"Senior, I spent seven years in the Spirit Hall's library and read most of the books. I discovered that poison-attribute spirit weapons are the best, but if it's a beast spirit, the poison will be transferred to the spirit master through possession, causing the spirit master to also be severely poisoned and eventually die from it. Am I right about that?!"

"That's right!" Dugu Bo nodded, looking at Li Fei with some surprise and astonishment: "Then what's the way to detoxify?!" At this moment, he already believed that Li Fei had a way to solve the problem for himself and his granddaughter.

"Actually, the method is very simple. Senior, you just need to store the toxins in your body like a venomous snake. A venomous snake stores its venom in its venom glands, and a weapon spirit master stores its venom in their weapon spirit. Senior, you just need to find a place in your body to store the toxins!" Li Fei said with a confident smile.

"Where in the body can toxins be stored?!" Dugu Bo began to ponder. As a master of poisons, he was also well-versed in medicine. All the organs in the human body are interconnected; toxins stored in any part of the body would quickly spread throughout. Suddenly, he realized something and quickly looked up, saying, "You mean the soul bone!"

"That's right! It's a soul bone. Although a soul bone is integrated into the human body, it doesn't belong to any organ. Forcing toxins into it won't affect one's health!" Li Fei said confidently. In the original story, Dugu Bo successfully detoxified himself in this way, and now it can naturally be done as well.

Moreover, if successful, Dugu Bo will show his gratitude, not only sparing him but also granting him some immortal herbs. Anyone who has seen this from afar knows that this old monster, Dugu Bo, values ​​promises and feelings highly, and always keeps his word.

"Alright! I'll research ways to force the poison into the soul bone in the meantime. Once I succeed, I'll let you go and agree to our deal!"

"Thank you very much, senior!"

Li Fei was overjoyed. He believed that with Dugu Bo's knowledge of toxins and medicine, it was only a matter of time before he could develop a way to expel and detoxify the poison, and he would soon be able to obtain several of the necessary medicinal herbs.

After Dugu Bo left, Li Fei lay down on the bed and began to cultivate, intending to first restore his strength and get rid of this weak state.

"Sure enough, this is near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Fortunately, my soul power managed to circulate, and I was on the edge. Otherwise, in this environment, let alone cultivate, I probably wouldn't even know how I died!"

As the extreme forces of cold and hot spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged into his body, Li Fei determined his location and began to concentrate on circulating his soul power to cultivate.

In such an extreme environment, cultivation requires even greater care. The slightest mistake could cause one to explode and die from the strain caused by these two opposing energies. However, the benefits are equally enormous. As the two extreme spiritual energies circulate within the body, under the powerful control of the main body's martial soul, one can clearly feel the extremely strong tempering effect of the two spiritual energies on the body. In just two minutes, the results are comparable to two hours of cultivation previously.

After cultivating for two or three hours, Li Fei felt that his physical strength had recovered somewhat. He took out food from his storage bracelet and ate. After eating his fill, he slowly got up and began to wander around. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was a special place. The plants here were all precious herbs that Li Fei had seen in books. They could be seen everywhere, and even immortal herbs could be found every certain distance.

"Is this the power of the two Dragon Kings?! Their mere corpses can create such a miracle!"

Looking at the twin springs of ice and fire arranged like a tai chi symbol, Li Fei was filled with shock. He just stared blankly at the awe-inspiring sight of the extreme ice and fire.

For the rest of the time, Li Fei cultivated within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and also began to examine various immortal herbs according to the records in the book. Of course, since he possessed poison, he only looked at them from a distance and did not approach them.

During this time, he also became acquainted with Dugu Bo. Perhaps because he had made progress in expelling the poison, this old monster was no longer as indifferent to Li Fei as before, and the two could even chat.

Although Li Fei didn't understand pharmacology and toxicology, he had some knowledge of chemistry and helped him create a soul-guided version of a microscope. He also suggested that he try to fuse the five poisons of Bilin to create a more powerful toxin.
