Chapter 50: Inside the poison coreHowever, he finally understood why top-tier Spirit Beasts like the Hurricane Gyrfalcon were on the verge of extinction.It was estimated that most Hurricane Gyrfalcons were screwed over and killed by their racial talent for rapid growth.Rapid growth seemed to protect chicks so they could grow up safely, but after evolving this ability, this Spirit Beast forgot to install brakes.Just after hatching from their shells, Hurricane Gyrfalcon chicks were physically weak; who wouldn't they view as a threat?Not to mention the Star Dou Great Forest, where ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts gathered in clusters.Under the circumstance where their racial talent triggered right at birth, how many could successfully live to adulthood?He was even curious now as to why the Hurricane Gyrfalcon had survived for so long and was only on the verge of extinction until now.However... why didn't Yaoguang trigger her racial talent when Ye Feng first picked her up?Ye Feng lowered his head in thought and thought of two possibilities.The first possibility was that the Hurricane Gyrfalcon's racial talent would not take effect right at birth.The second possibility was that the Spirit Beast that attacked Yaoguang's mother was very strong—so strong that the weak chick couldn't even sense the threat, causing the racial talent to fail.Neither of these possibilities was small, but records of the Hurricane Gyrfalcon in books were very scarce, making it impossible to give an accurate judgment.So he let it go; dwelling on these things now was useless, and what mattered was the present and the future.In the afternoon, a servant from the Dugu Mansion delivered a card containing 5 million gold coins, and shortly after, an attendant from the Ye family did the same.Ye Feng gave each of them a gold coin and told them to return.He was back; there was no need to borrow money from others.The money he earned back then in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena had not been spent yet, and it was more than enough to raise two children.In the evening, Ye Feng prepared a table of delicacies for Jin Ling to celebrate their reunion.During this time, Yaoguang was attracted by the aroma of the food and briefly woke up for a moment.Controlling the wind to send the delicacies into her mouth, she complained that Ye Feng made too little.This caused Ye Feng to couldn't help flicking her on the forehead, and then, according to Yaoguang's portion, he made her another big meal, packed it in a bucket, and placed it before her.There was no help for it; he had to spoil his own daughter, who could blame him for being kind-hearted enough to adopt her back then.After Yaoguang completely wiped out the delicacies in the bucket, she fell asleep with satisfaction.Before falling asleep, she even affectionately rubbed her massive bird head against Ye Feng.This also brought a bit of comfort to Ye Feng's heart; at least she wasn't raised in vain.The night passed without incident.Early the next morning, Ye Feng brought Jin Ling to the Dugu Mansion.Firstly, it was to thank Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan for their care.Secondly, it was the soul core method that Ye Feng had comprehended.The power of a soul core was unquestionable; a Titled Douluo with a soul core could basically crush a Titled Douluo of the same rank without one.After condensing a soul core, the recovery speed of spirit power would usher in a breakthrough.As long as they weren't fighting for a long time, there was basically no need to worry about the consumption of spirit power.It could be said to be an epoch-making product.Condensing a soul core would greatly increase a Titled Douluo's strength, but speaking of whose strength it would impact the most, Dugu Bo would definitely have a place.As everyone knew, talking about toxicity without dosage was just acting like a hooligan.Even king cobra venom, if diluted hundreds of millions of times, could still be drunk normally by ordinary people.And Dugu Bo's attribute happened to be poison. To him, spirit power was poison, and the total amount of spirit power was the total amount of poison.Condensing a soul core couldn't enhance the toxicity of the poison, but it could accelerate spirit power recovery and indirectly increase the total amount of spirit power.This was definitely a huge buff for Dugu Bo.Carrying this good news, Ye Feng familiarly entered the Dugu Mansion.He found Dugu Bo, who was meditating quietly in his bedroom."Kid, why did you come back so soon?"Dugu Bo was very surprised by Ye Feng's appearance; he knew that Ye Feng was going to research soul cores.Researching something he had never seen before and only knew the theory of should logically take a very long time.He had already prepared himself for Ye Feng not returning for a year or two.Seeing Dugu Bo's doubt, Ye Feng chuckled and spoke,"Senior Dugu, I was quite lucky and have already successfully condensed a soul core, comprehending the method to condense a soul core."Afterwards, Ye Feng carefully taught the soul core condensation method he comprehended to Dugu Bo, explaining every detail very clearly. Beside them, Jin Ling also listened very attentively.Ye Feng casually explained it to Jin Ling as well; even a Spirit Beast could condense a soul core.Jin Ling naturally could too, and understanding it early on wouldn't be a bad thing.Spending half an hour, Ye Feng finally explained the essentials and details of condensing a soul core clearly.After a long while, Dugu Bo spent some time comprehending it and exclaimed in admiration,"This soul core method is truly exquisite. Kid, you really are a genius!"Ye Feng smiled without responding. In his heart, he was actually a bit proud; although there was theoretical support, wanting to create it solidly and truly was still very difficult."Right, Senior Dugu, do you still remember the first detoxification method I mentioned before?"Dugu Bo nodded—forcing the toxin into the poison core."If I'm not mistaken, while Senior Dugu used the Immortal Herb, you also utilized its medicinal power to realize the first detoxification method."Dugu Bo nodded and asked in confusion,"Kid, how did you know?"Ye Feng smiled without answering. Instead, he changed the subject and asked for the reason,"I wonder why Senior Dugu, even with the Immortal Herb, still forced the toxin into the poison core?"Dugu Bo wasn't angry and truthfully told him,"Kid, I don't know why I did that either. After taking the Immortal Herb, I instinctively felt it would be better this way."Ye Feng touched his chin, his tone somewhat distant as he answered Dugu Bo's question."I also figured it out during this period of seclusion. After Senior took the Immortal Herb, your cultivation increased by one rank, but according to this junior's estimation, Senior's cultivation has stagnated at level 91 for many years, always trapped by the Spirit's poison.""As long as the poison is detoxified, the realm will naturally break through. Supplemented by the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb, you can further increase your spirit power by one rank, reaching level 93 spirit power.""However, according to this junior's perception, Senior's spirit power rank should be at level 92. This is obviously unreasonable.""Therefore, this junior guessed that it was Senior who forced the toxins into the poison core. At the same time, a small part of the medicinal power was consumed in the process, and another part of the medicinal power and toxins were sealed together inside the poison core."Dugu Bo took a sip of tea, affirming Ye Feng's guess, but asked with some confusion,"Kid, what you said is correct, but why bring these up? I'm even a bit regretful for doing that back then now."Ye Feng pushed his hands forward and retorted,"Sigh, Senior Dugu, you didn't do anything wrong back then. Doing this is indeed greatly beneficial to you."Seeing the incomprehension in Dugu Bo's eyes, Ye Feng didn't keep him in suspense."Senior Dugu, think about it. Since the so-called Spirit poison comes from the Spirit, it must be composed of spirit power.""Rather than being washed away by the medicinal power, it's better to temporarily store it inside the poison core.""When the Spirit evolves and the Spirit's poison can no longer threaten you, you can refine it bit by bit.""Moreover, this Spirit poison originally stems from your Spirit; refining it carries zero risk.""Not to mention, that is the accumulation of toxins over decades since you were six years old. Toxins capable of poisoning a poison-attribute Titled Douluo to death definitely contain unimaginable spirit power.""If all of this is refined, it can at least break through two ranks of spirit power."As he spoke, Ye Feng's voice couldn't help but carry a hint of excitement....(Obviously, the explanation in this chapter is quite far-fetched. This is the author's fault, apologies.)(The reason is that this book doesn't have an outline and is basically pushed along by the characters, knowing the plot one hour ahead of the readers.)(In the future, I will pay more attention.)
