Dugu Bo's head seemed to have a big question mark floating above it.
Are all of you named Sun Qi crazy?
Why do you all want to jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
Your talent is already excellent, yet you still want to court death.
Dugu Bo expressed his incomprehension.
He truly couldn't understand.
"Such strong poison must be very nutritious."
Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi continuously lingered between the Blazing Glorious Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, observing the two peerless poisons.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Dugu Bo's forehead.
"Do you know what nonsense you're spouting?"
"Senior, I think what I said is perfectly fine. Why can't toxins be another form of nutrient?" Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi said, "Once the toxicity is removed, what's left isn't just medicinal power?"
Sun Qi remembered that even toxins are proteins.
Although not all toxins can be proteins, their basic structures are similar. As long as the key parts that carry the toxicity are destroyed, then it becomes a nutrient.
Dugu Bo's mind paused for a moment.
This time he didn't refute Sun Qi; instead, he subconsciously used his professional knowledge to ponder.
Is poison also a nutrient?
He gasped, feeling as if a new World had opened up to him.
"Senior can try some weaker poisons. Just see if they can be absorbed as nutrients after their toxicity is destroyed, or be careful when destroying them to see if they can be used as an alternative medicine."
Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi's words shattered Dugu Bo's previous notions.
He began to consider the feasibility of Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi's idea.
Is it really feasible?
Anyway, for initial verification, the risk is not great.
Dugu Bo gradually made a decision in his heart.
He motioned for Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi not to try anything rash, then he himself left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to search for poisons.
"Xiao Jin, do you mean that toxins can also be used as medicine? Does that mean the toxins in my and Grandpa's poison skill can be used as medicinal power?"
Hmm?
Sun Qi was surprised.
He looked at Dugu Yan, showing a strange expression.
At this moment, both Sun Qis were looking at Dugu Yan.
Strange, can taking Immortal Herbs also improve one's brain?
Sun Qi hadn't actually considered such an amazing idea just now.
"Sister Yan, what you said seems to make sense. If the poison skill is cultivated long enough, and the toxins in the spirit power are fully mastered, removing the toxicity would result in medicinal power perfectly fused with one's own spirit power. After these medicinal powers are digested, they might even increase spirit power. Moreover, removing toxicity could be a unique method, not for cultivation, but for recovery during combat..."
During battle, the toxins in the poison skill are demons that make enemies' scalps tingle. After being injured, the toxins in the poison skill, when their toxicity is removed, can be a life-saving medicine.
Every medicine has three parts poison, but why can't poison also have three parts medicine?
"Sister Yan, don't try it yourself. This line of thought should be left to Senior Dugu to research. He has a higher fault tolerance and is also more efficient in researching it."
Dugu Yan's mouth twitched.
Although Sun Qi spoke well, she understood the unspoken meaning.
Closing their eyes, both Sun Qis entered a state of cultivation.
Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi was adapting to the ice and fire power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well using the Stone Monkey skill.
For him, the effect of the Stone Monkey skill was very poor; the efficiency of tempering his body was not high. Not only him, but the other six Main Bodies, apart from the Stone Monkey Body, would not have high efficiency because they did not have the feedback from Stone Monkey · Sun Qi.
Dugu Bo's efficiency was indeed high.
In just a moment, he returned to the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
His expression was slightly agitated, clearly Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi's hypothesis had been verified by him.
"Grandpa..."
Dugu Yan repeated her idea to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo went crazy after hearing it.
He ran out again and started verifying it.
A day later, Dugu Bo returned to the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again.
His expression was slightly fatigued, his lips a little pale, and because the toxins were under control, the deep green pigment in his hair, which had already started to turn gray, became more prominent.
But his tone was very excited.
"Yan Yan, you are simply a genius!"
Dugu Bo gesticulated wildly, stating that the Dugu family would begin its true prosperity from this generation.
Even if Dugu Yan's future children did not inherit the Sky Swallowing Python Spirit, the Dugu family would no longer be plagued by toxins, nor would every member need to be equipped with a Spirit Bone to cultivate.
Speaking of which, when it came to children.....
Dugu Bo started to get a headache.
He didn't want his granddaughter to marry out, but for the family's bloodline, Dugu Yan had to marry.
Originally, he didn't care about the latter, because the descendants of the Dugu family had too many difficulties, and he himself was conflicted about whether to pass it on or not.
But now it was different.
The Dugu family's poison skill was no longer a death warrant; instead, it might become a huge advantage.
Should such a bloodline not be passed on?
Dugu Bo subconsciously glanced at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
That kid is good.
He then looked at Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi.
This Sun Qi is also good.
Although he entered here to cultivate because of Stone Monkey · Sun Qi, Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi successfully deepened Dugu Bo's impression of him and maximized his favorability with today's reminder.
A good foundation, coupled with genuine ability, and outstanding talent.
Dugu Bo looked at the surrounding heaven and earth treasures, preparing to carefully select one for Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi.
But looking again, there was still no heaven and earth treasuressuitable for Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi.
This was not something he could choose carefully.
If one were to say suitable, then there was only one here that could be considered usable, and that was the Black Jade Divine Bamboo.
But ordinary plant-type Spirits were fine, and some wooden-source rod-type Spirits were also okay, but Sun Qi's Golden Cudgel was out of the question; his Golden Cudgel was a pure iron rod.
For an iron rod, the effect of the Black Jade Divine Bamboo would be infinitely diluted.
Dugu Bo felt a regret of neglecting one thing for another. What a pity for Xiao Jin.
While he was thinking, a change occurred in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The ice and fire power boiled, madly converging towards one person and one monkey.
It could be seen that the two springs in the wellspring began to rotate, and one person and one monkey thus entered the two springs, each transforming into the yin and yang fish eyes of the spring water.
As the spring water rotated, the positions of the two also changed, sometimes in the core of the ice spring, sometimes in the core of the fire spring.
One person and one monkey also simultaneously assimilated the two energies.
"This is the effect of borrowing power from a distance."
Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi watched from the side, sighing.
To achieve this step, it wasn't enough for the body to have sufficient resistance to ice and fire. Stone Monkey · Sun Qi's ice and fire resistance was very high,
but it hadn't reached the point where he could face either of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's springs alone and still be unharmed.
Especially being unharmed amidst this ice and fire alternation.
He could cultivate in the wellspring by relying on a balance.
However, he had now actively broken this balance, stirring up the spring water, causing his position to be sometimes in the pure ice spring, and sometimes in the fire spring.
Being able to persevere was entirely thanks to borrowing power.
He and Little Sun were opposite each other; when he absorbed the power of the fire spring, Little Sun absorbed the power of the ice spring, and the two borrowed power from each other,
thereby achieving balance again.
