Douluo: Soul Breaking Spear

Chapter 30: Alchemy Knowledge
Since obtaining his first soul ring, Yang Podi's daily study has also changed.

I continued to practice my spear skills every morning, and went to primary school in the morning. In the afternoon, I added an hour of learning about alchemy, which was taught by my grandfather Yang Wudi himself.

I would go mountain climbing with weights only after finishing my studies. After I was exhausted from climbing, I would take a medicinal bath. At night, I would spend all my time meditating.

Today is the first time to learn about alchemy.

After lunch, Yang Wudi brought his grandson to the pharmacy.

The alchemy room was built in my grandfather’s own small courtyard. It was a relatively large basement. As for why it was built in the basement, it was for the sake of quietness and to prevent disturbances from outsiders.

The alchemy room is quite large, with various shelves placed all around. On the shelves are various bottles and jars, which are filled with various herbs.

Yang Podi carefully observed the shelves and found that the herbs on the shelf were very complete. There were common blue silver grasses, expensive thousand-year-old herbs, including thousand-year-old ginseng, Poria cocos, Chinese angelica, and even a lot of soul beast blood, internal organs, gallbladder, etc. Of course, there were also a lot of snake toxins, even the toxins of the green phosphorus snake. There were also a few thousand-year-old herbs, but the quantity was relatively small.

In the middle of the pharmacy is a large medicine furnace, or elixir furnace.

When Yang Podi entered the pharmacy for the first time, it was as if he had entered a world of medicinal materials.

This time, Yang Wudi did not directly refine the medicine, but first explained some knowledge about refining medicine.

"Po Die, our Po Yi clan is a family of alchemists with a long history. It can be said that there is no family in the entire Douluo Continent that is more familiar with alchemy than us."

"What you learn in the elementary school every morning is some relatively basic knowledge. This knowledge is also available in some large families outside."

"But what I am going to teach you now are some inherited knowledge. As for this knowledge, only I, your second grandfather Yang Wushuang, and your father Yang Zhentian are fully familiar with it in the entire Po Yi clan. Of course, it also includes some of the Po Yi clan's secret medicines. The other elders have only learned part of it."

"But some secret medicines are very dangerous, so you can't learn them for now. Your current task is to read books and familiarize yourself with all the medicinal materials and their properties in the world."

"In order to keep the family knowledge confidential, from now on, you will come here to read every afternoon. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask me. On the medicine shelf behind you, there are most of the medicinal herbs in Douluo Continent. You can compare and learn more about them. However, it is best not to touch those poisonous herbs first. After you really get involved in refining medicine, I will teach you how to use and touch them."

After Yang Wudi finished speaking, he took out a number of books from his soul guide. Many of the books looked very old and should have been summarized and passed down by countless generations.

Yang Podi looked at these books carefully, including: "Douluo Continent Immortal Herbs Collection", "Douluo Continent Poisonous Herbs Collection", "Douluo Continent Snake Collection", "Douluo Continent Spider Collection", "Douluo Continent Exotic Flowers and Herbs Collection", "Douluo Continent Soul Beast Collection", "Douluo Continent Poisonous Martial Soul Collection", "Po's Clan Pills", "Po's Clan Medicinal Bath"...

It can be said that all the medicines or poisons in Douluo Continent are recorded. The first thing Yang Podi picked up was the "Douluo Continent Immortal Herb Encyclopedia" that he had always wanted to see. He opened the first page and saw a large light pink flower, which was the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product. It not only contained the relevant functions, growth environment, and digging methods, preservation methods, etc. of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product.

After taking careful notes in my mind, I turned to the second page and saw a large white flower shaped like a peony, which was the fairy-quality Acacia Heartbreak Red.

As he flipped through the pages, more and more magical herbs were revealed. In addition to the ones that Tang San gave to the six Shrek people in the original novel, there were many other magical herbs with all kinds of strange properties.

Among all the immortal herbs, the one that Yang Podi coveted the most was the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, which could improve the spirit master's Gengjin attribute. For the spirit master with sword spirits, it was a divine product. If it was used by the spirit master with the Soul-Breaking Spear spirit, the sharpness of the Soul-Breaking Spear would be greatly enhanced, and the spirit master could even practice spear light, or practice attacks similar to sword light. And there was a certain chance that it would evolve into the Ultimate Gold.

"Grandpa, this Nine-Leaf Sword Grass seems to be very good for our Poyi Clan."

"Defeat the enemy, you have a good eye. The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is the most suitable for our Soul-Breaking Spear martial spirit among all the immortal herbs. Unfortunately, no one has found it for countless years. Legend has it that the founder of the Seven Killing Sword Technique once took the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, and his soul power finally reached level 98. Unfortunately, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has been looking for it for almost half a lifetime and has not found it."

Hearing this, Yang Podi thought to himself: I wonder if there is Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Fire and Ice? I hope so!
An hour later, Yang Po Di reluctantly left the alchemy room. The knowledge of alchemy was indeed profound and extensive. No wonder all the people of the Po Yi clan in the past were obsessed with it.

Thinking of this, Yang Podi suddenly thought of a problem. One of his martial souls is his body. If he learns how to refine medicine, the toxins can stimulate the growth and awakening of the second martial soul. He wonders if he can refine a body that is immune to all poisons like Du Bu Si in the original work.

However, everything is unknown now. Before I am sure, I still don't plan to make medicine myself. No matter how wonderful the world of medicine making is, this is the world of Douluo Continent after all. Soul power is the foundation, otherwise I won't even have the power to protect myself.

Otherwise, in the original novel, the Po Yi clan would not have become the Tang Sect's medicine hall. They would have had an extra father out of thin air. If they were strong enough, why would they care about Tang San? Wouldn't it be more fun to establish their own sect?

Of course, in addition to refining medicine, Yang Po Di also secretly added a new subject to study. That is, when practicing gun every morning, in addition to the Soul-Breaking Gun Technique, he would also begin to try to learn some gun techniques from his previous life. He dared not tell others before he had mastered it.

After all, the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique of the Po Clan was developed through the practice of countless generations and can be regarded as the result of the hard work of countless people.

If you practice other shooting techniques yourself, you might be regarded as an outsider, and that would be troublesome.

Yang Podi also did one thing, which was to ask his father to hire someone to make him a set of close-fitting weights. The whole set weighed about 3 kilograms, including 20 kilograms of wrist guards for the limbs and kilograms of chest armor. Although the overall weight was not heavy, he would not take it off except for the time of the medicinal bath.

And I plan to gradually increase the weight after I get fully used to this set of weights. In short, I will stress my body and push myself to my limits through overload exercise every afternoon. And after each weight-bearing mountain climbing, I will make myself stronger through medicated baths.
