Dugu Xin's decisiveness astonished everyone present, especially his father, Dugu Bo.
He had initially wanted to say something, but seeing Dugu Xin speak, he nodded in agreement.
Dugu Bo knew his son well; although his cultivation talent was only above average, his knowledge and insight were exceptional.
This was because in his youth, to solve the Dugu family's martial soul problem and improve his own strength, he had devoted considerable time to in-depth research on martial souls. Having
been plagued by poison since childhood, Dugu Xin not only became a Soul Emperor before the age of fifty through his own efforts but was also a true master in the field of martial soul research.
However, he never cared about such empty titles; his only goal was to solve his family's poison problem.
In his view, even the most learned scholar was still intimidated by the strong, and his extensive learning was merely to lay the foundation and find a path to becoming a Title Douluo.
From this perspective, Dugu Xin, who focused on self-improvement, was far superior to some charlatans who relied on others for their success.
He had strived for so many years without success, and now that he had an opportunity to become stronger and change the fate of the Dugu family, how could he not seize it?
An hour later, Lin Yu flexed his wrists and finally finished copying the poison cultivation manual.
Dugu Xin's hands trembled as he carefully took the dozen or so pages of the manual from Lin Yu.
After carefully examining the pages, an unnatural blush suddenly appeared on Dugu Xin's pale face, which had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Good, good, excellent! In this way, my Dugu family has finally broken free from its own curse! Moreover, the method of fusing poison with soul power is truly ingenious!"
Lin Yu was not surprised by Dugu Xin's excitement, after all, he also knew about the poison cultivation manual given to him by the Goddess of Life.
By combining one's own toxins with soul power, a special poisonous soul power is formed. This power not only eliminates the effects of toxins on the martial soul but also enhances one's offensive capabilities. The poison of the martial soul is truly formidable and difficult to defend against.
However, this also reminds Lin Yu of a special world where he cultivates battle qi. That world also happens to have a type of battle qi with poison attributes, which is remarkably similar to the poisonous soul power formed by this secret technique.
A short while later, Dugu Bo also verified the secret technique and was very pleased.
However, to Lin Yu's surprise, Dugu Bo didn't just ask him to borrow the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well; he gave Lin Yu the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Lin Yu didn't refuse, but promised to give three immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to the Dugu family.
But there was a condition: that Lin Yu would complete the return of the original essence from those immortal herbs.
After handing over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Lin Zhan temporarily abandoned the use of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Instead, he asked the Dugu family to select a type of immortal herb, which Lin Yu would then use his martial soul to provide a source of energy before taking it away.
The reason for this was that the main function of immortal herbs was to strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality, and the younger the consumer, the better the effect.
Dugu Yan's talent was at most similar to Lin Zhan's, and under normal circumstances, reaching the Title Douluo level would not be easy.
However, Dugu Yan was only ten years old. At this age, consuming an immortal herb would inevitably lead to a qualitative leap in her aptitude.
For the sake of their daughter/granddaughter's future, Dugu Xin and Dugu Bo hesitated for a long time within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, finally stopping in front of a pure white flower, as clear as jade and resembling a daffodil.
"Little Yu, this is it. Narcissus Jade Bone, I feel this is the immortal herb with the highest compatibility with Yan'er."
After Dugu Xin made the selection, Lin Zhan patted Lin Yu's shoulder, signaling him to go up and activate the Wood Spirit Scroll.

Lin Yu stepped forward, arriving right beside the Narcissus Jade Bone, and released the Wood Spirit Scroll.
The instant the Wood Spirit Scroll was released, a stream of Wood Spirit power instantly merged into the Narcissus Jade Bone.
The Narcissus Jade Bone swayed slightly upon receiving the Wood Spirit power, its unique spiritual aura radiating outwards, suppressing the other immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a short time.
The released spiritual aura was quickly gathered by the Narcissus Jade Bone, then transformed into a white primordial energy, merging into Lin Yu's second martial soul, the Wood Spirit Scroll.
After its merging, a purplish-black soul ring appeared on Lin Yu's Wood Spirit Scroll, appearing to be very close to the ten-thousand-year level. Immortal
herbs possess spirits, and the soul rings they condense are perfectly suited to Lin Yu's current state, and the effects of the condensed soul skills are unaffected by age.
Of course, a lower age for the soul skills does affect their range of application, but this is nothing to worry about.
The Wood Spirit Scroll's first unique ability—to cultivate plants—is quite special. The more plants he cultivates, the more life force he can absorb from them, using it to enhance his soul skill's duration.
After absorbing the second immortal herb source, Lin Yu also gained a remarkably powerful soul skill—Qi Circulation Through the Eight Meridians.
Regardless of aptitude, anyone under Lin Yu's soul skill experiences a doubling of cultivation speed.
While Lin Yu was learning about his soul skill, the Dugu father and son had already stored away the Narcissus Jade Bone.
Subsequently, Dugu Bo gave him a large bottle of antidote pills and a recipe for refining antidote pills; his purpose was self-evident.
Although the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was sparsely populated, it had been protected for many years by a layer of poisonous fog that Dugu Bo had created.
For the safety of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't touch the poisonous fog created by Dugu Bo. After all, whether human or soul beast, if they knew there was such a treasure trove here, they would certainly go to any lengths to obtain it.
Although Lin Yu himself was protected by the Goddess of Life, his companions were not so fortunate.
After acquiring a soul skill and ownership of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Lin Yu, for some reason, subconsciously looked at a plant resembling a cockscomb flower, composed of countless golden-red blossoms and radiating a scorching aura.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a strange immortal herb with the ability to transform into a fire-attribute martial soul, made Lin Yu's mind flash with the image of a certain blonde girl upon seeing it.
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Yu gently stroked the Phoenix Sunflower's leaves and left.
Lin Yu's mother, the perceptive Yu Rou, witnessed this scene, and an unbelievable thought surfaced in her mind.
After leaving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the two families separated. Dugu Bo took Dugu Xin back to Heaven Dou City.
The Lin family of three also took a long detour around Heaven Dou City and returned to the Lin family manor.
Not long after Lin Yu's return, news spread, shaking the already turbulent Heaven Dou City once again.
[The protagonist's auxiliary soul skills are all very impressive, and the conflict between twin martial souls doesn't exist for him; he can use both martial souls simultaneously. This only applies to the protagonist; Tang San still faces the challenge of martial soul conflict.]
