"Poison Pill, Soul Core, what are these things?" Dugu Bo frowned, his eyes filled with deep doubt. He looked at Huo Yuhao, expecting an explanation.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and began to explain in detail:
"Condensing a Poison Pill is a special cultivation method.
It involves gathering all the toxins in your body, drop by drop, until it forms something similar to a dantian." "
This Poison Pill is like a warehouse storing toxins.
You can inject all the toxins in your body into this Poison Pill.
In this way, when you need to use poison techniques, you no longer need to draw toxins from various parts of your body, but release them directly from the Poison Pill."
Huo Yuhao paused, then continued, "As for the Soul Core, it's an energy core that naturally appears in a Soul Master's body after reaching the Title Douluo realm.
The essence of this core is the core of your Soul Power after it has solidified.
You can think of it as a source of energy that makes your Soul Power more condensed and more powerful."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Dugu Bo nodded.
He did indeed have a solid Soul Power core, something every Title Douluo possessed.
He found it intriguing that Huo Yuhao called this thing a soul core; it was the first time he'd heard such a term.
Dugu Bo then raised his question:
"I understand what you mean by condensing a poison pill, but what do you mean by condensing a soul core?
I already have a soul core."
mmHuo Yuhao patiently explained, "What I mean is, you can try using the poison pill as your second soul core.
During the condensation process, gather all the toxins in your body into the poison pill, and at the same time, connect the poison pill with your original first soul core to form two soul cores."
"These two soul cores can complement each other, promoting mutual growth.
This will not only greatly improve the quality of the poison pills, but also, if you successfully condense the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, not only will you successfully solve the problem of your martial soul's defects, but your strength will also be greatly enhanced,"
Huo Yuhao continued. "However, this entire process is extremely painful and difficult.
You will need to endure both physical and mental torment, and this process is full of uncertainties.
A slight mistake could lead to failure.
But if you succeed, you will not only be able to completely eliminate the toxins from your body, but also gain powerful strength to compensate for the defects of your martial soul, and may even break through your current cultivation limitations to reach a higher realm."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Dugu Bo smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with determination:
"Hehehe, I've been through so many years, do you think I'm afraid of this mere pain?
Just start.
I want to see what kind of changes this so-called Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core can bring me."
However, after hearing Dugu Bo's words, Huo Yuhao said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, Senior Dugu Bo, I don't yet have enough soul power to guide you in condensing your soul core."
Huo Yuhao's voice carried a hint of apology.
"What did you say?"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Dugu Bo was immediately enraged, his beard bristling and eyes wide.
"You brat, are you deliberately trying to trick me?
You said all that, and now you're telling me you don't have enough soul power..."
Dugu Bo's anger erupted like a volcano, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
His voice was filled with disappointment and rage, as if it wanted to devour Huo Yuhao.
Seeing that Dugu Bo was about to explode, Huo Yuhao quickly explained, "Senior Dugu, please don't misunderstand.
I don't think I'm playing a trick on you.
I can refine some pills right now to temporarily suppress the poison in your and your granddaughter's bodies.
Moreover, I can help your granddaughter suppress all the poison in her body into her soul bone.
Since your granddaughter is still young, there's no need to worry about the poison erupting in her soul bone before she becomes a Title Douluo."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Dugu Bo's expression softened.
"Alright, you refine the pills to suppress the poison in our bodies first.
I'll go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to pick up my granddaughter.
You can use everything here."
"Don't worry, Senior, I will do my best," Huo Yuhao replied firmly, watching Dugu Bo transform into a streak of light and disappear into the horizon.
Not long after Dugu Bo's figure disappeared from sight, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor also quietly flew out from Huo Yuhao's body, like two streaks of light.
Ice Emperor lightly landed on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm lazily perched on Huo Yuhao's head, squinting its eyes, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Yuhao, is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?
If you want the immortal herbs here, just kill Dugu Bo directly.
Why go to all this trouble to help him?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's thinking seemed to be stuck in the survival-of-the-fittest law of the soul beast world.
In its view, Huo Yuhao was perfectly capable of eliminating Dugu Bo directly.
Although Bingdi didn't speak, her slightly nodding expression showed that she also agreed with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's point of view.
In the world of soul beasts, strength is everything; the strong survive, and the weak are eliminated—this has been their long-standing law of survival.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, understanding that although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Bingdi's suggestion seemed simple and crude, their starting point was also to protect him.
Huo Yuhao said softly, "Alright, Ice Emperor, Brother Tianmeng, of course I can kill and rob, but if I really did that, how would I be any different from Tang San?
If I were really that kind of person, would you still believe in me so firmly?"
"As the saying goes, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Besides, Dugu Bo's poison is very potent; we might be able to use it in the future."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Ilex in his spiritual sea nodded with satisfaction:
"That's right, Yuhao, you're becoming more and more mature.
As for that big bug, your awareness still needs improvement!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm curled its lip disdainfully, its tone carrying a hint of skepticism:
"Tch, you old codger, all you do is lecture me.
But, Yuhao, with your current soul power level, can you really help Dugu Bo condense his second soul core?
After all, your soul power level is only level twenty-eight."
Huo Yuhao slowly replied: "I'm not entirely confident right now, but I estimate that once my soul power level reaches forty, it should be enough.
After all, the quality and reserves of my soul power are much greater than those of ordinary soul masters.
In the meantime, I plan to first resolve the poison problem of Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan."
"Moreover, with these immortal herbs, I believe reaching level forty won't be too far off for me; three years at most should be enough."
Huo Yuhao paused, his gaze deep.
"Furthermore, I actually have some ideas I want to put into practice through Dugu Bo.
I plan to help the elders and retainers of the Spirit Hall condense Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores in the future, especially Grandpa Qian and Teacher Dong'er.
Once they successfully condense Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, the overall strength of the Spirit Hall will see an unprecedented boost."
As Huo Yuhao spoke, he skillfully began to organize various medicinal herbs one by one, his movements fluid and precise.
Then, Huo Yuhao took out a level four alchemy furnace from his storage soul tool and added the prepared medicinal herbs one by one.
As the herbs were added, a unique and enticing aroma began to permeate the air.
In the field of alchemy, Huo Yuhao could be said to have reached a state of consummate skill.
After all, in his previous life, Huo Yuhao had successfully refined the legendary Qiankun Creation Pill, not to mention these low-level pills.
Time flew by, and in less than an hour, Huo Yuhao had already refined a whole batch of pills.
These pills were enough for Dugu Bo to consume for several months.
Just as the pills were finished, Dugu Bo's surprised voice came from the horizon:
"What a fragrant aroma! Kid, you've already refined the pills?"
