Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 23: The Method for Curing Cold Syndrome - Only Half Explained

Shui Bing'er's chills subsided the following day, and Li Xian Yue brought her back to the conference room, where Ji Wu Ming and the other man had been waiting for quite some time.

"Big brother, Xiao Ji, you saw what happened yesterday with the cold illness. I had no choice. Moreover, ever since this child absorbed his first soul ring, the cold illness has been flaring up more and more frequently."

As Li Xianyue spoke, she pointed to Shui Bing'er, whose complexion had become much rosier.

Dean Shui looked at Ji Wuming and asked impatiently, "Little Ji, now that everyone's here, stop being so mysterious and tell us your opinion on Bing'er's martial soul and the subsequent treatment."

Looking at Dean Shui and Li Xian Yue, who were filled with anticipation, Ji Wuming said with a worried and serious expression, "As you know before, the bodies of ordinary people cannot withstand top-tier beast spirits with elemental attributes, but there are exceptions, namely those with innate full soul power."

"It's a pity that Miss Bing'er wasn't born with full soul power. If I'm not mistaken, the first soul ring Miss Bing'er absorbed was an ice-attribute soul ring!"

Seeing Ji Wuming's serious expression, Shui Bing'er nodded in agreement, while Li Xian Yue said, "That's right, her first soul ring was obtained by absorbing the Ice Falcon from the Frozen Forest."

"That's right. She already has a flaw in her martial soul—the cold syndrome. If she absorbs an ice-attribute soul beast again, it will only shorten the time when the cold syndrome flares up."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian Yue immediately recalled that during a previous clan meeting, several healing-attribute Soul Masters had also raised this issue, but it had been refuted by most of the clan elders. They argued that top-tier ice-attribute beast spirits should absorb ice-attribute soul beasts.

Only in this way can the family further develop and grow. Some cold symptoms can be easily resolved with the power of hot medicine and a fire-attribute soul master. Moreover, when she grows up, we can find her a fire-attribute bird soul master partner, and maybe the cold symptoms will be solved. At the same time, in the future, she can bring two soul saints or even two titled Douluo to the family.

At this moment, Ji Wuming continued, "The cold syndrome is actually a drawback caused by physical weakness and an excessively weak martial soul bloodline. Only by absorbing a soul ring with the Phoenix attribute to replenish its Phoenix origin can it be cured."

As he spoke, Ji Wuming frowned on the spot.

"What a pity! The phoenixes and the soul beasts that contain their bloodline on the continent are already very rare, and their numbers are even lower than those of soul beasts with pure dragon bloodlines."

However, according to his recollection, it seems that when Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, a bird resembling a phoenix submitted to him, but Ji Wuming did not know exactly where it came from.

Upon hearing this, Li Xian Yue and Dean Shui understood the reasoning perfectly. A soul beast with the Phoenix bloodline was undoubtedly the most suitable for Bing'er, but according to the historical records of their clan and other sects…

Soul beasts with the Phoenix bloodline had already disappeared two or three thousand years ago when the Fire Phoenix Sect was destroyed. Perhaps there are still some in some parts of the continent, but as soon as they appear, they will become food for many soul beasts.

"Brother, it seems that this is all your most prized student is capable of? This trip to Hanhai City was a complete waste, except for obtaining the whale glue you gave me."

Just as Li Xian Yue was about to leave with Shui Bing'er, Shui Bing'er hesitated to move. At this moment, Dean Shui immediately blocked Li Xian Yue's path.

"Look how confident Xiao Ji is, he probably has other plans?"

He immediately looked at Ji Wuming in a loud and urging tone.

"Xiao Ji, is there anything else you want to say? Stop beating around the bush and say it all at once."

Seeing this, Ji Wuming stopped rambling and got straight to the point.

"Although pure Phoenix bloodline soul beasts have become extinct, there may still be one or two in some remote places. As far as I know, the vast ice plains north of the Frozen Forest are such a remote place."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian Yue's eyes widened slightly. There was indeed a vast ice plain north of the Frozen Forest, but its environment was extremely harsh, with temperatures plummeting.

With the help of the environment, even a hundred-year-old ice-attribute soul beast can defeat a low-level Soul Venerable. Their elders have been to that place, but they only dared to linger in the outer perimeter of the far north and did not dare to go deep.

Looking at Ji Wuming, who had a solid understanding of soul beasts, Li Xian Yue said with a hint of urgency, "Besides the far north, where else can we find such soul beasts? Even a general area would be helpful."

After thinking for a moment, Ji Wuming immediately replied, "I once had the honor of seeing a pale blue bird that resembled a phoenix. It may have the bloodline of a phoenix, but the exact direction from which it flew is unknown."

"It is highly likely that it flew in from within the Star Dou Great Forest."

Ji Wuming was more certain that the phoenix-like soul beast came from the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, the Star Dou Great Forest was known as the cradle of soul beasts, and even if such an extinct soul beast existed, there should still be one or two in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Only then did Li Xian Yue's anger gradually dissipate, while Shui Bing'er looked at Ji Wu Ming with curiosity.

"Brother Ji, how old was that phoenix spirit beast?"

"I guess that the phoenix soul beast must be around ten thousand years old. Only in this way could it have survived in the Star Dou Great Forest."

As top-tier soul beasts, they possess powerful bloodlines and high attack power, but these soul beasts often become food for other soul beasts. Even if they are very old, they cannot escape death under a group attack.

Upon hearing this unique news, Li Xian Yue felt both excited and somewhat disappointed.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is too old. I'm afraid it will be killed by other soul beasts before Bing'er even reaches level fifty or sixty."

"No, perhaps it has some descendants!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Ji Wuming also had his own guesses. Although phoenixes do not have the bad habits of dragon-type soul beasts, in the case of almost extinction of species, they may change their habits and rely on other birds to reproduce.

.

Li Xian Yue was overjoyed upon hearing this. Regardless of whether they could find such a phoenix soul beast, she had at least obtained a useful piece of information. She could send disciples from her clan to investigate. She then continued to press for more details.

Do you know of any other spirit beasts that possess this phoenix bloodline?

"That's it. As far as I know, there are only these two possibilities. Even if there are soul beasts with phoenix bloodline attributes in other places, the other attributes they contain are not suitable for the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul."

Ji Wuming also expressed his helplessness. Judging from its appearance, the phoenix soul beast that had submitted in the Blue Silver Forest should be of the water attribute. Perhaps there are also soul beasts with phoenix blood in the ocean, but the interior is a hundred times more dangerous than the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, Ji Wuming actually had another way to completely cure the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, and even further evolve it: to consume the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, or to consume the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass within the Yang Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

But the secret of these herbs is his greatest asset for the future. Even though the Shui family has been kind to him, this secret must never be revealed to outsiders.

However, the next moment, Shui Bing'er said firmly, "Auntie, it's okay even if we can't get it. Using whale glue and soul fire to suppress the cold disease is fine too."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian Yue's tone gradually relaxed.

"No, now that we have traces of a phoenix-type soul beast, how can we give up? Besides, you are someone I watched grow up, and you have the highest talent in our clan. I will immediately inform the elders of the clan and send people to search for you in the Star Dou Great Forest."

But before that, she still needed to get more information about that phoenix-type soul beast from Ji Wuming.
