"Is that Dark Poison Lotus really as miraculous as you say? Can it truly enhance my poison abilities?"
Dugu Bo had to admit that this immortal herb did resonate somewhat with his Martial spirit.
As for the term "immortal herb," someone as deeply versed in medicinal arts as him naturally understood its meaning.
Wu Qi smiled. "That's right. It might even raise your spirit power level."
"Unfortunately, for your current self, it's a bit too late to consume an immortal herb. If you were forty years younger, taking this alone would at least push you into the ranks of Super Douluo."
Dugu Bo frowned. "In that case, I'll leave it for Yanyan to absorb."
Wu Qi shook his head. "No need. I've already prepared another immortal herb for her. This one is yours, go ahead and absorb it without worry."
No matter how valuable immortal herbs were, they were useless if just kept on hand.
Distributing them to allies to quickly increase strength was the most practical choice.
Besides, this place originally belonged to Dugu Bo. Wu Qi wasn't like Tang San, nor was he stingy. Giving some to the grandfather and granddaughter was both courtesy and obligation.
Dugu Bo was still somewhat doubtful, but thinking about the poison core within his body, he believed Wu Qi wouldn't exaggerate.
Taking the Dark Poison Lotus, he laughed. "If it's really as you say, I'll owe you another favor."
Once his poison core method matured, he could pass it on to Dugu Yan. Her poisoning wasn't severe, so she could condense it on her own without needing medicinal assistance.
To the entire Dugu family, Wu Qi's actions were nothing short of a second chance at life.
In Dugu Bo's eyes, this was a favor he could never fully repay. Since he already owed so much, adding one more didn't matter.
After Dugu Bo left, Wu Qi fixed his gaze on the two immortal herbs beside the Ice and Fire spring.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Taken individually, each was a deadly poison. But if consumed together, the opposing forces of ice and fire would briefly reach balance within the body. Then, with the help of the Ice and Fire spring water to neutralize the medicinal effects, the energy would fully merge with the blood.
If he absorbed them directly, Wu Qi feared he wouldn't be able to endure it.
After all, he didn't have the Mysterious Heaven Technique. His spirit power couldn't circulate on its own and required manual control.
If he lost consciousness, his spirit power would stop flowing, and the accumulated medicinal energy would erupt, costing him his life.
With that thought, he took out the Wangchuan Autumn Water Dew from his spirit tool.
The soundwave attacks of his Azure Luan spirit were a form of spiritual attack. Increasing his spiritual power would naturally increase the threat of those attacks.
Moreover, enhancing his spiritual power would strengthen his willpower, this was the key to absorbing the two ice and fire immortal herbs.
Without hesitation, he got to work.
After consuming the Wangchuan Autumn Water Dew, Wu Qi entered cultivation once again.
Three days later, inside the wooden house.
An unprecedented sense of relief made Dugu Bo burst into thunderous laughter.
While absorbing the Dark Poison Lotus, all the residual toxins in his body had been drawn in and finally condensed into his poison core.
With the toxins completely gone, the spirit power he had accumulated for a long time broke through, raising him by one level.
After fully absorbing the immortal herb, the immense medicinal energy pushed his spirit power up another level, reaching Level 93.
At this moment, he had truly shed the title of the "weakest Titled Douluo."
In fact, among Titled Douluo, his strength could now be considered mid-tier.
After all, most Titled Douluo on the continent were only at Level 91 or 92. Dugu Bo had been labeled as such mainly because his methods were too limited and his spirit power had been only Level 91.
But now, his poison abilities were completely transformed, vastly more powerful than before. He could even easily poison any Spirit Master below the Titled Douluo level.
"That kid really is my lucky star."
Laughing loudly, Dugu Bo strode out of the wooden house to look for him.
At that moment, Wu Qi was submerged in the spring water. The energy of the spring concealed his aura, preventing Dugu Bo from noticing him.
"Strange did the kid leave?"
Before he could think further, his gaze suddenly caught movement within the spring.
In an instant, his heart nearly stopped.
Knowing Wu Qi came from the Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, if something happened to him here, Dugu Bo wouldn't be able to explain it no matter what. When that time came, if the Worship Hall's experts moved, even multiple lives wouldn't be enough to pay for it.
Without hesitation, Dugu Bo dashed to the Ice and Fire spring.
Using his spirit power to sense, he found that Wu Qi's aura was stable. Aside from some physical pain, it was no different from normal cultivation.
From the corner of his eye, Dugu Bo noticed that the two highly poisonous immortal herbs that had been beside the spring were gone. He couldn't help but gasp.
"That kid really has a death wish!"
If it were him, even knowing it was theoretically possible, he wouldn't dare attempt it so easily.
At this point, it wasn't hard for him to guess the source of Wu Qi's strength.
Not only was his talent extraordinary, but he was also more diligent and fearless than ordinary people. If he didn't become strong, who would?
At that moment, Wu Qi was in the middle of cultivation, and Dugu Bo couldn't tell whether the medicinal effects within his body were balanced.
To avoid any accidents, he didn't dare disturb him and instead stayed nearby to guard him.
"Day thirty-one of missing Brother Wu Qi."
Ning Rongrong sat by the window, idly writing a line in her diary.
As a support-type Spirit Master, her training routine wasn't as intense as Changkong's. As for Spirit Arena matches, she could go whenever she wanted, or stay at the academy to cultivate instead.
Her efforts had paid off, her current Level had reached 27 and a half, bringing her closer to Level 30.
During this time, she had also considered using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find Wu Qi's whereabouts.
However, since Wu Qi had voluntarily left with Dugu Bo, and Xue Qinghe had confirmed that his life was not in danger, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect refrained from intervening out of respect for Dugu Bo.
At the same time, Changkong couldn't help but mutter, "Brother Wu, if you don't come back soon, the second Royal Team will exist in name only."
Wu Qi had previously mentioned recruiting Huo Wushuang and his sister, but when they came to the academy, he wasn't there.
Changkong had no idea what Wu Qi was planning, so he could only send the siblings away.
The formation of the second Royal Team was temporarily put on hold, and aside from Changkong, no one seemed particularly concerned.
With two years remaining before the Spirit Master Tournament, the three education committee members didn't pay much attention to it and had even reduced their focus.
The second team was originally meant as training for Wu Qi. Even if they didn't achieve results in this tournament, the three committee members wouldn't say much.
In their view, the tournament after next would be Wu Qi's real stage.
With Wu Qi's disappearance and the rumors in the city gradually fading, public and royal attention shifted away from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Taking advantage of this, the three committee members reinstated Qin Ming.
According to Qin Ming's plan, the first Royal Team had already left Heaven Dou City to participate in Spirit Arena battles elsewhere.
After half a month of tempering in the Ice and Fire spring, Wu Qi successfully absorbed the medicinal effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
During the process of counteracting each other, the two immortal herbs lost a significant portion of their potency, yet they still allowed Wu Qi's spirit power to break through to Level 40.
Witnessing his growth, Dugu Bo, who had been guarding nearby, couldn't help but mutter, "A Spirit Ancestor before the age of thirteen this kid's breakthrough speed is truly astonishing!"
