Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 25 Dugu Bo

At this moment, Tong Rui had followed Dugu Bo to his medicine garden.

Unlike the original novel, when he appeared, he was moody in the face of Tang San. In the face of Tong Rui, he can't be said to treat him like a grandson, but in his eyes, he is also a promising junior.

Although Dugu Bo is moody, he is easily made to compromise when it comes to matters concerning his granddaughter.

Tong Rui is not like the original Tang San. He first broke Dugu Yan's poison in the battle, causing her to lose her mind, and then revealed the poison of the Dugu family to Feng Hao, causing her to become angry and ashamed.

A normal person who has practiced poison since childhood would be very upset if his weakness was exposed and mocked. So Dugu Bo's actions were also reasonable.

In fact, what Tong Rui and Tang Sanzhong did were not much different. They first pointed out the danger of the Dugu family's poison and then provided a solution.

But the difference is that Tong Rui cleverly avoided the time when Dugu Bo could find him, and only revealed the method to Dugu Yan when he needed the magic herb and was sure he could cure the effects of the Green Scaled Snake Martial Spirit.

Dugu Bo was indeed a little annoyed when he heard that his weakness was exposed. However, after receiving the solution that Tong Rui told Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo had only great optimism about Tong Rui after verifying it.

No one is a fool. A person who can solve your family's martial spirit problem, who is not only a genius but also so close to your granddaughter, should naturally be treated with courtesy.

In the medicine garden, Dugu Bo asked kindly, "Xiao Rui, I'll call you that. I heard you and my granddaughter say that we need to find a treasure bowl and immortal herbs to perfectly solve the problem of the Jade Scaled Snake spirit. Do you think my medicine garden is the treasure bowl you mentioned?"

Tong Rui looked at and smelled the smell of sulfur and the fragrance of herbs in the air, and said excitedly: "That's right, senior, this is the cornucopia, also known as the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Senior, can you take me down to see the herbs in the medicine garden?"

"Of course you can." After saying that, he took Tong Rui to the vicinity of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Tong Rui felt the endless flow of ice and fire around him, and secretly opened the treasure house of time and space, taking everything into it.

Dugu Bo observed Tong Rui and saw that he came to his senses in just a few seconds, and nodded secretly.

Then he asked, "You said this place is called Yin Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Do you know this precious land well?"

"That's right. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire not only nourishes creatures, but also has a very special effect on the human body. Once a human or an animal lives next to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, then within a short period of time, their bodies will be impacted by the two extreme attributes of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If they cannot leave in time, they will surely explode and die."

"But for someone like you who is extremely poisonous, it is of great benefit. Extreme heat and extreme cold have a restraining effect on poisons. And places like the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, where natural treasures are found, have an extremely strong restraining effect on poisons. Otherwise, there would be no way that various rare plants could grow here at the same time."

"If I'm not mistaken, you were able to break through to the Titled Douluo realm thanks to the suppression of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, which is why you didn't die from the poison."

Dugu Bo smiled and nodded, saying: "That's right, it was because of this precious land that I was able to break through the seal safely. It's a pity that although I saved my life by breaking through the seal, I am still helpless with my child."

Speaking of this, Dugu Bo thought of his deceased son and his poisoned granddaughter, and his tone became low.

Tong Rui did not discuss this topic any further and said, "Senior, let's go to the hot spring and take a look. I seem to have seen many familiar immortal herbs." "Do you recognize those herbs? I have also tried to test the medicinal properties of these herbs. If it weren't for my strong strength, I would have been poisoned to death long ago."

"Yes, the herbs I need are already here. The large light pink flower is called Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin, and it is the nemesis of all poisons. It can neutralize all toxins. It cannot detoxify itself, but it can overcome poisons."

"You mean that with this flower, Yanyan can eliminate the toxins in her body?" Dugu Bo said excitedly.

"No, I need a green-scaled snake, this fragrant flower, and that bloody swan kiss." Tong Rui pointed to the crystal white herbs. Each leaf seemed to be dripping with water. It was slender and curved, looking like a swan's neck.

"Senior Dugu, please do not touch that herb. It is not poisonous in itself, but if you get even a little bit of it on you, any virus that touches it will multiply a thousandfold."

Dugu Bo stopped and looked at the herb sullenly, secretly thanking luckily that it was not this herb he had eaten that year.

Tong Rui looked at Dugu Bo and continued, "Senior Dugu, there is actually a better way to deal with Sister Yan, which is the two flowers, one red and one blue, near the pond."

"These two flowers are called Fiery Apricot and Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass. If you eat them together and soak in a hot spring, you can cultivate an ice-fire golden body. Not only will you be immune to all poisons, but the toxins in your body will also be extremely cold and hot."

Dugu Bo was a little worried after hearing this. After all, he didn't dare to get close to the ice and fire spring, so he asked in a deep voice, "Is there any danger?"

"There is no danger. You can even use the golden body trained by ice and fire to increase the number of years you can absorb spirit rings here."

"However, in order to prevent the two immortal herbs from dissolving Sister Yan's poisonous power, Senior, please bring back a Green Scaled Snake. It doesn't matter how old it is, as long as its corpse is. I will refine it into a poisonous bead."

Dugu Bo responded after hearing this: "That's good. I will go to the academy to bring Yanyan here later to use with the poison beads. Boy, I owe you a big favor. You can use the herbs in this medicine garden as you like."

After saying that, Dugu Bo left. As for why Dugu Bo agreed to let Tong Rui use the medicine garden at will, it certainly wasn't because of the so-called favor.

First of all, Dugu Bo had no idea what the herbs here were used for. Even if he knew which herbs had the greatest medicinal properties, they were still useless in his hands.

Secondly, two immortal herbs are needed to refine the poison bead, and two immortal herbs are needed to refine the ice and fire golden body. The news of the treasure land has spread, and since the remaining immortal herbs are unknown, it is better to give them to Tong Rui.

It can not only prevent other people from having extra thoughts about this place, but also do Tong Rui a favor and ensure the interests of future generations of the family.

Finally, the herbs are not the real useful things here. If Tong Rui can figure out this treasure land, all future generations will benefit from it. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire can play their true value in his and his family's hands.

Tong Rui thought this through and began to look for the herbs he needed in the medicine garden.
