Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 264 The Most Precious Treasures of the World Belong to the Virtuous

Tang San revealed Poison Douluo's true intentions: "You've been poisoned, haven't you!"

"You want me to cure your poison? But the way you're acting doesn't seem like you're looking for me to cure your poison!"

"Bullshit!" Poison Douluo replied curtly.

He glanced around and realized that no one believed Tang San's words, which made him secretly relieved.

He was poisoned, but he couldn't let outsiders know about his vulnerability.

Tang San smiled dismissively, turned his head, and put on an arrogant air.

"No matter how you explain it, the poison you have been afflicted with has penetrated deep into your bones." He began to analyze the composition of the poison based on the symptoms: "Whenever it is rainy, my ribs ache slightly, and at midnight, my whole body aches as if being pricked with needles."

"Even with your Title Douluo-level soul power, you can't suppress this kind of pain!"

Poison Douluo's pupils contracted.

This was true, so he took it to heart, but his expression remained unmoved.

He looked around, making sure no one noticed anything amiss.

"I don't know where you got this knowledge from, but it does have some semblance of meaning, but it's none of my business!"

Tang San's eyes widened in surprise and doubt: "Really?"

What I said was just what the Xuan Tian Bao Lu (a historical record) said: the aftereffects of humans taking the Frost Immortal Grass.

Tang San was describing the symptoms at that moment only because he was thinking of taking a gamble.

Doubts arose, prompting a question to the heart: "Could the Xuan Tian Bao Lu also err?"

Han Tao listened carefully to every word Tang San mentioned, because what he said was likely true: Poison Douluo was suffering from the Ice Immortal Grass.

However, with so many people present, it was difficult to speak up.

Ye Lingling said softly, "This symptom will appear as long as one takes the Frost Immortal Grass."

She looked at Dugu Bo, and somewhat agreed with Tang San's explanation, offering a corresponding solution.

"The cold poison within the immortal herb is extremely potent and needs to be regulated with gentle energy!"

“Yes!” Poison Douluo replied.

That's exactly what I did: I used the fiery energy of the Fiery Apricot to merge with the power of the Frosty Immortal Herb in an attempt to dissolve the cold poison within the herb.

"No! It's not what you think," Ye Lingling's voice was hesitant.

Seemingly pondering how to express himself clearly: "The fiery apricot blossoms are too delicate!"

Tang San's ears stood up high.

Han Tao raised his hand and waved it, creating a soundproof barrier that isolated everyone's voices.

"if."

"If I could consume a magical herb, my martial soul would surely undergo a qualitative change!"

Tang San's eyes flashed with endless greed, filled with anticipation as he awaited Ye Lingling's next words, but...
The existence of soundproofing techniques hindered the spread of sound and theory.

"Damn it! He deserves to die!" Tang San cursed. "The most precious treasures in the world should belong to the virtuous!"

"How dare these ungrateful wretch possess such a treasure?"

Within the soundproof enclosure, seemingly realizing her oversight, Ye Lingling asked with a hint of worry, "Did I say anything wrong?"

"Hmm!" Han Tao nodded, pointing out her problem:

"It's inappropriate to mention the name of the immortal herb in public. This is a gathering place for many pharmacists, and there's no guarantee that someone might know about this treasure."

"Immortal herbs are something that can arouse the covetous madness of many Soul Masters," Poison Douluo added.

Then, glancing around at everyone, a subtle sense of threat emanated from him.

"I'm sorry." Ye Lingling lowered her head.

Han Tao glanced at her slightly and offered a word of comfort: "Actually, it's not a big problem. Ning Rongrong has already eaten all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and the remaining two are also full of poison."

"But you need to be careful from now on."

Pointing at Tang San, he said, "Someone will do anything for the sake of immortal herbs."

Ye Lingling nodded slightly. She wasn't overly saddened by her mistake and continued analyzing the previous topic:
"The specific ecology within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is quite complex and unique."

She looked at Poison Douluo: "Using the Fiery Apricot Blossom to dissolve the cold poison within the immortal herb is still a bit too intense."

"Then what should we do?" Poison Douluo asked.

"Ordinary fire attributes cannot overcome the extreme cold poison of the supreme immortal herb, while the extreme Fiery Apricot Blossom is far too intense."

There was a hint of melancholy in Ye Lingling's words.

Han Tao suddenly offered a suggestion: "You could find a top-tier fire elemental soul master to help you remove the cold poison."

"A top-tier fire elemental martial soul?"

Her eyes lit up slightly: "Oh, right!"

"A Soul Master with a Fire Element Martial Soul can generate the [Incineration] ability, which will definitely help you get rid of the cold poison."

"But how can this be done?"

Getting a top-tier fire elemental soul master to sacrifice a soul ring to obtain [Incineration] is not something that can be done simply by talking.

"Simple." Han Tao laughed: "The reward is the Fiery Apricot Blossom."

Poison Douluo raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you just say that the Fiery Apricot Blossom contains a deadly poison? Soul Masters can't possibly consume such a divine herb!"

Ye Lingling's face suddenly lit up, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze, and a pleasant sensation arose naturally.

"The greatest significance of the immortal herb is its very existence!"

"The place where the Fiery Apricot Blossom is located is a natural training ground for fire elemental simulation, and the Blazing Fire Academy happens to need this immortal herb."

She gazed at Han Tao's profile.

Adoration and warmth intertwined within her heart, because of her unintentional mistake, someone helped her resolve her worries.

Therefore...
Not only did it help Poison Douluo achieve his goal, it also transferred Tang San's greed to Blazing Fire Academy, which might make him another enemy.

Moreover, the creation of [incineration] can also help Han Tao cleanse his physical body of impurities, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

"Yes!" Poison Douluo expressed his approval.

He immediately wanted to leave and realize his plan, but Han Tao interrupted him:

"Don't rush."

"The fiery poison of the Fiery Apricot, with the enhancement of the Snow Swan Kiss, has become extremely close to the divine level."

Han Tao looked at Poison Douluo and shook his head slightly: "With your physical strength, you are not strong enough to withstand its toxicity."

Unlike Yu Xiaogang, Han Tao considers the various problems and difficulties that will be encountered during the execution of his plans when setting them up, and prepares corresponding solutions.

"Uh"

Poison Douluo's expression froze.

"Even I cannot withstand its toxicity?"

"Yes!" Han Tao nodded: "If you didn't already possess the power of the Frost Immortal Grass within you, this transplantation process would be impossible."

Without the ability to transplant it, everything is just empty talk.

"So next, you need to train with me."

"Improving your basic physique can help you suppress the cold poison of the immortal herb, and it is also a prerequisite for bearing the Fiery Apricot Delicate Fragrance, even though it is just a simple transplantation step."

"Training?" Poison Douluo asked in surprise.

Having already reached the title of Douluo, is there still a need for me to train, or room for improvement?

Finally arriving at Ye Lingling's area of ​​expertise, she explained to Poison Douluo: "A Soul Master's physique encompasses three levels."

Physical attributes, level growth, and the addition of soul rings and soul bones.

In terms of physical aptitude, bloodline strength and tempering progress are not considered. Since the talent of a species is fixed, most Soul Masters, including Poison Douluo, have not reached the upper limit.

"Wolf bandits have altered the innate talents of their species, increasing the training ceiling for Soul Masters."
