Chapter 283 Methods to Resolve the Backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng mention his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly changed.
He knew perfectly well about his granddaughter Dugu Yan's condition.
Her hair and eye color, so different from everyone else on the Douluo Continent, constantly reminded him that his granddaughter had already begun to suffer from the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent.
Indeed, as Ye Qifeng said, he could be indifferent to his own life or death, but he could not be indifferent to his granddaughter's future.
My granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is only a little over fifteen years old. She is at the prime of her life and has a bright future ahead of her.
Moreover, he had already experienced the pain of outliving his children before his granddaughter, and he was absolutely unwilling to let his granddaughter follow in her parents' footsteps, nor did he want to experience such pain again.
It's just a medicinal herb garden; how can it compare to my granddaughter's future?
Why not give it to the other party?
If the backlash from the toxins in my granddaughter's body can be completely resolved, I would do anything for him, even submit to him and serve him like a slave.
He was willing to do it.
As his thoughts shifted, the light in Dugu Bo's eyes finally became firm, no longer uncertain.
After a long silence, he finally nodded in agreement, but also made his own request:
"I can give you the herb garden, but I need to confirm first whether your method is effective."
Hearing that Dugu Bo finally agreed, Ye Qifeng was overjoyed. Sure enough, he still had to start with his granddaughter Dugu Yan. His efforts had not been in vain.
As long as you agree, everything else is negotiable.
Ye Qifeng was overjoyed, but outwardly remained calm. After a moment's thought, he decided to agree to Dugu Bo's request.
As long as we can obtain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and the solution to the backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom, it wouldn't hurt to hand it over to Dugu Bo first.
As for getting him to submit, that can be discussed later; there are ways to achieve it anyway.
Having made up his mind, Ye Qifeng looked at Dugu Bo, first nodding to him, then revealing a cryptic smile before saying calmly:
"Thank you for making the right choice, senior."
"Regarding the solution to the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom, I can tell you about it first, but you'd better keep your promise. After I tell you the method, you will need to give me the exact location of the herb garden in Sunset Forest."
"Hmph~~ Kid, you're underestimating me?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Although I have a bad reputation, I am not a person who goes back on his word."
"As long as the method you mentioned can indeed solve the problem of the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom, I will naturally keep my promise and hand over the herb garden to you."
"I'll take you there directly then."
The herb garden in Sunset Forest was surrounded by poisonous miasma that he had personally set up, and it had been replenished with toxins not long ago, so it was at its most toxic.
If one does not possess cultivation at the level of a Soul Douluo or higher, one will inevitably die from poisoning once inside.
If this twelve-year-old brat were to rashly run into the poisonous miasma, he would probably be turned to dust by the deadly poison within.
Unless he leads it personally.
Dugu Bo didn't elaborate on the existence of the poisonous miasma, but seemingly afraid that Ye Qifeng wouldn't believe him, he emphasized it again at the end:
"I mean what I say."
After hearing Dugu Bo's assurance, Ye Qifeng smiled with delight:
"Then it's settled."
He knew, of course, that Dugu Bo was a man of his word, but it was still better to make an agreement in advance, at least a verbal one.
Then, Ye Qifeng looked at Dugu Bo and said in a calm tone:
"There are four specific methods to resolve the issue of backlash from the venom of the blue-skinned snake."
Which four?
Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed, and he asked impatiently.
Glancing at the eager Dugu Bo, Ye Qifeng didn't immediately introduce him, but instead asked him a question:
"Senior, have you ever heard of celestial medicinal herbs?"
"A divine medicinal herb?"
Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback.
He had naturally heard of rare and precious medicinal herbs.
He spent his life dabbling in poisons and had a considerable understanding of medicines. He had seen records of rare and precious medicinal herbs in some medical books.
However, most of these records are vague and contain little information.
In addition, he preferred to study poisons and was not very interested in herbal knowledge such as medicinal herbs, and had never deliberately collected or studied them in detail.
Therefore, his understanding of celestial herbs was extremely limited, to the point that he didn't even know what celestial herbs actually looked like.
I only vaguely know that in the Douluo Continent, immortal herbs are definitely a very precious treasure, and each immortal herb is a rare treasure.
Legend has it that each of these divine herbs is a unique treasure, possessing the power to rival the wonders of nature.
However, almost no one has ever owned it, or even seen it, so it is impossible to determine whether this claim is true or false.
"I've certainly heard of divine medicinal herbs, but I don't know much about them and I don't recognize them."
Dugu Bo answered, but the next second, he suddenly realized something and asked in surprise:
"Could it be that the solution to the backlash from the Azure Phosphorous Serpent's venom is related to rare medicinal herbs?"
Ye Qifeng was not surprised that Dugu Bo claimed he did not recognize any rare medicinal herbs.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given away the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and many rare medicinal herbs to that scoundrel Tang San for nothing, thus benefiting him instead.
"good."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly to Dugu Bo, and then said:
"The first method I mentioned is indeed related to rare medicinal herbs."
"In this world, there is a celestial herb called the Fragrant Jade Flower Immortal Herb."
"A fragrant and exquisite celestial delicacy?"
Dugu Bo asked, puzzled.
Glancing at him, Ye Qifeng introduced:
"The Fragrant Silk Fairy is the nemesis of all poisons; its fragrance has the effect of neutralizing all toxins."
"It cannot detoxify itself, but it can counteract poisons, such as the venom of the blue-phosphorus snake, which is among the poisons it counteracts."
After a pause, Ye Qifeng continued:
"In addition, wearing the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item has another great benefit."
"It will produce a fragrance on the body called the innate fragrance of Qiluo. Smelling it every day can not only prolong life, but also enhance one's immunity and give people a comfortable and intoxicating feeling."
"These are merely side effects of the Fragrant Silk Fairy Herb. Most importantly, it can help suppress the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Snake, reducing its toxicity and even preventing it from causing further harm."
"As long as you possess a fragrant and exquisite fairy plant and wear it by your side, the backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent's venom will naturally be suppressed."
"Where is this fragrant and exquisite herb? And what does it look like?"
After hearing this, Dugu Bo became excited.
If this divine herb is found, wouldn't his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, no longer have to worry about the poison backlash and be able to live peacefully?
"Don't be too happy yet, senior."
Just as Dugu Bo was starting to feel happy, Ye Qifeng suddenly poured cold water on him.
All I heard him say was calmly:
"This method has certain flaws."
"Let's not even go into how rare the fragrant and exquisite fairy product is."
Anyway, it's at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Ye Qifeng added in his mind, then continued:
"But there is only one Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb in this world, so only one person can use it, and that person must carry it continuously."
"Secondly, whether it's you, senior or your granddaughter Dugu Yan, once you use the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Poison nurtured by the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul will inevitably be suppressed and neutralized. At the same time, your poison skills will also be affected, and your cultivation level may even decline."
"This method might affect one's cultivation level, and could even lead to a drop in cultivation realm?"
At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly asked a question.
"Yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded, then continued:
"Furthermore, I must inform you that this method cannot completely resolve the backlash from the venom of the Blue Phosphorus Snake."
"After all, the function of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item is to suppress and neutralize toxins, and it will not change the essence of the Martial Soul."
"As long as the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is cultivated, it will continuously produce toxins. Therefore, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item cannot completely solve the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison; it can only suppress it."
"However, this method can save your life, but it will prevent your cultivation from advancing any further, or even cause it to decline."
Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.
If he were to sacrifice his cultivation and realm in exchange for suppressing the backlash of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent's venom.
He was absolutely unwilling.
If his cultivation level falls below the Title Douluo realm, how will he protect his granddaughter?
However, this method could be used by the granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
After all, it can save your life.
Sacrificing a little bit of cultivation to ensure a carefree life for his granddaughter is better than letting her suffer like himself and her parents, enduring unbearable pain from the backlash of the toxins and ultimately dying a tragic death.
Looking at Dugu Bo, who was silent for a moment, his face contorted in thought, seemingly making a difficult decision, Ye Qifeng smiled faintly and comforted him, saying:
"Senior, there's no need to worry about this; it's just one possible solution."
"You might as well listen to the other methods before making a decision and choosing."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo snapped out of his daze, his eyes brightening slightly. He quickly looked at Ye Qifeng, signaling the latter to continue.
For some reason, Dugu Bo suddenly had a feeling that the kid opposite him seemed to talk an unusually lot.
It was as if they were using words to weave a trap, then luring him step by step, deeper and deeper, until finally they were ready to reel him in.
But he had no choice but to go inside.
After all, he had to get his hands on a solution to the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Serpent's venom.
It's not just for myself, but also for my granddaughter's future.
Ye Qifeng had no idea what Dugu Bo was thinking at the moment. If he knew, he would probably just roll his eyes at Dugu Bo and say something like:
You're overthinking it.
He simply adhered to the agreement and clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions.
Clearing his throat, Ye Qifeng then introduced the second method to resolve the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom:
"The key to the second solution lies in the Soul Bone."
"Soul bone?"
Dugu Bo was somewhat confused upon hearing this.
This time, however, he wisely kept quiet and didn't ask any questions, instead listening attentively.
Ye Qifeng glanced at Dugu Bo, and seeing that he didn't intend to interrupt, he ignored him and continued explaining:
"This method is very simple."
"Prepare at least one soul bone, absorb it, and then use your soul power to force the toxins in your body into the soul bone and store them. Release them when needed."
"This way, the problem of poison backlash can be temporarily solved. It will not harm oneself, and the poison in the body can be completely preserved without affecting one's cultivation."
"What?! Using soul power to force the toxins into the soul bone and store them? Soul bones can be used like this? What a genius idea!"
After listening to Ye Qifeng's introduction, Dugu Bo's eyes widened in surprise, and then he pondered the feasibility of this method.
A moment later, he slapped his thigh:
"That's right, we can store the excess Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom inside the Soul Bone! How come I didn't think of that?"
"Wouldn't this completely eliminate the backlash from the toxins?"
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo was very excited, but soon he suddenly calmed down and muttered to himself:
"Hmm? That's not right!"
"He seems to have used the word 'temporarily' just now."
"Could it be that using soul bones to store toxins can only temporarily solve the problem, and not provide a permanent solution?"
The next moment, Dugu Bo's guess was confirmed.
Then Ye Qifeng changed the subject, saying calmly:
"This second method also has its flaws."
"It can only temporarily resolve the backlash from the toxins, and it doesn't address the root cause."
"After all, the capacity of a soul bone is limited. Once the toxins overflow, more soul bones need to be absorbed to store the toxins."
"Otherwise, there is still a risk of the toxins backfiring."
"in addition."
"This method is a bit wasteful of soul bones. Because soul bones store toxins, they are definitely not reusable. So don't have any more ideas about using soul bones for inheritance."
"For this reason, if this second method is adopted, the best soul bones to prepare are external soul bones, followed by torso bones and limb soul bones. Head soul bones are not recommended, as they are too close to the brain and are prone to problems."
"As for why it's best to have an external soul bone..."
"It's because external soul bones have one advantage over other soul bones: they can be exposed externally. Even if the stored toxins are full, it doesn't matter. Just expel the excess toxins from the body."
"besides."
After a brief pause, Ye Qifeng changed the subject again and continued:
"This method also carries a huge risk."
"That is because the soul bones absorbed by soul masters are fused together with their own bones."
"Therefore, while using the soul bone to store toxins, the toxins will be slowly transmitted to one's own bones through the soul bone, and then invade the bone marrow and spread throughout the whole body."
"Once the toxins backfire, it will be even more severe. At that point, there will be no hope of recovery, and death will be certain."
Upon hearing the final four words, "certain death," Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine.
He had just been thinking of trying to use his soul power to force the poison in his body into his soul bone to verify the feasibility of the method the other party had mentioned.
