Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 399 The Story of the Title Douluo and the Heartbreak Red Acacia Flower

Before undergoing the Ice and Fire Refinement, Wang Dong'er's third soul ring was only capable of reaching a time limit of around seven thousand years.

Now, having been strengthened by the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, she is qualified to challenge for the third soul ring of ten thousand years.

However, she only temporarily possessed the property of being immune to water and fire, and was still far from being able to ward off all poisons.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the medicinal power of the two celestial herbs will not be fully absorbed until she reaches the Soul Saint level.

Wang Dong'er looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo: "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, how well have you identified the herbs here?"

“I recognize most of them,” Chrysanthemum Douluo said, “but there are some herbs whose effects I don’t know, and I can only vaguely sense whether they are useful or harmful.”

Wang Dong'er spread her butterfly wings behind her. Now that her Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul was released, her senses of the herbs here were even stronger.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed slightly after Wang Dong'er released her martial soul.

For some reason, he could sense a threat from Wang Dong'er.

Just like how Wang Dong'er is now able to restrain him.

But how is this possible?
The Goddess of Light Butterfly is indeed a top-tier martial soul, but his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is also considered a top-tier martial soul.

Moreover, he was a Title Douluo, while Wang Dong'er was just a level 30 Great Soul Master who had not yet obtained her third Soul Ring.

There shouldn't be such an obvious restraint.

"Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, in your opinion, are there any celestial herbs here suitable for Senior Dugu Bo or his granddaughter?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo thought for a moment and replied, "If we're talking about something that perfectly matches the characteristics of their martial souls, then I haven't sensed anything like it."

"It can only be said that some of the things that can greatly enhance soul power might be suitable for them to consume."

Wang Dong'er nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that Chrysanthemum Douluo's knowledge was still somewhat incomplete.

But it doesn't matter, now she herself is the encyclopedia of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Although she couldn't name the herbs, she could clearly perceive their effects.

Especially those herbs with flower-shaped flowers.

Wang Dong'er flitted among the herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, like a tiny butterfly fairy flitting among the flowers and grass.

In no time, she had examined all the herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Next, she went to the side of the Fragrant Silk Fairy, picked the Fragrant Silk Fairy with the root still attached, and put it into the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch given to her by Dugu Bo.

Then, in a secluded corner, next to a white flower.

The flower was about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony, with no grass or leaves growing on it. Its rootstock was attached to a large, dark rock, and its petals had a touch of blood red.

Ju Douluo was initially puzzled when he saw Wang Dong'er heading towards a corner, but when he saw the small white flower that Wang Dong'er found by parting the weeds, he froze instantly.

"The Red of Heartbreak? Is that the Red of Heartbreak?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo became excited almost immediately.

He had been wondering why, despite the abundance of rare medicinal herbs here, he had not seen the legendary King of Medicinal Herbs, the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a divine creature concealing itself, hiding in a clump of weeds.

His eyes became somewhat infatuated as he headed towards the place where Wang Dong'er had found the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

He reached out, wanting to touch the Acacia Heartbreak Red, and Wang Dong'er didn't stop him, just watching from the side.

However, Chrysanthemum Douluo ultimately did not extend his hand.

He took a deep breath to calm himself before looking at Wang Dong'er. "Miss Dong'er, do you know the story of this 'Heartbreak Red'?"

Wang Dong'er still remembered the content of the story, but was this story still the universal version from another world?
"You mean the story of taking care of Qunhua for the sake of his deceased wife?" Wang Dong'er asked uncertainly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed, "That's right."

"In my family's legends, there has always been a story about a titled Douluo from ancient times..."

"Wait, Title Douluo?" Wang Dong'er interrupted Chrysanthemum Douluo, but then immediately realized what he meant.

The story template is universal, but the background is changed, which is normal.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was somewhat puzzled, but he nodded and continued, "This Title Douluo has a title that is very difficult to mention, but he did not choose it himself."

"Legend has it that he and his wife knew each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts. His wife loved flowers from a young age, so he also loved flowers."

"Later, he grew into a top-tier powerhouse, a titled Douluo, but his good fortune didn't last long. His wife fell seriously ill and never recovered."

"After his wife died, he became extremely depressed, weeping over flowers all day long, but no longer caring for them."

"Therefore, his title was taken away."

"At first, he was very angry and prepared to go out and take revenge on those people."

"However, just as he was leaving, he saw the most beautiful peony that his wife had planted before her death."

"Due to the lack of his meticulous care, the peony appeared somewhat withered and looked like it was about to die."

Seeing this, he suddenly realized his mistake and began to tidy up the garden his wife had left behind, tending to the flowers and plants every day to ease his longing.

"Until the very end, he died heartbroken from unrequited love, and on his deathbed, he wept his heart's blood on the flowers."

"The name 'Acacia Heartbreak Red' comes from this."

As Wang Dong'er listened to Chrysanthemum Douluo recount this story, although it differed somewhat from her memory, it did indeed seem like a localized version of the Douluo Continent story.

"You want it?" Wang Dong'er asked.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback. Although he was somewhat tempted, he shook his head and said, "Just do as Miss said before, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum will do."

"It's already a sign of Miss's favor that Yue Guan gets one of them; she won't ask for more."

"However, I hope that if Miss gains the approval of the Love-Sickness Red in the future, or finds someone it approves of, she will inform Yue Guan."

"Yue Guan is willing to stay by his side for life, without any regrets."

Wang Dong'er took the Acacia Heartbreak Red along with the Black Stone beneath it and put it into her Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

The roots of this thing are hidden inside the black rock, so it can't stay here.

If someone is found who can make it recognize its owner and cause the Black Stone to fall off, then the Black Stone can be returned here and allowed to grow again after thousands of years.

Next, Wang Dong'er picked two immortal herbs, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Hunyuan Immortal Grass, and handed them to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo respectively.

"Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, I presume you don't need me to teach you how to absorb this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

"However, although Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo's own martial soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, absorbing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum may not necessarily have any effect on increasing soul power. At best, it will only allow him to break through to the peak Douluo level."

"The greatest benefit of this rare and precious chrysanthemum is that it allows the chrysanthemum douluo to reach even greater heights."

“Senior Ghost Douluo, your martial soul is special. This Primordial Immortal Grass doesn’t have any special attributes and won’t conflict with you. It’s perfect for you.”

"However, like Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, it can only help you break through to the peak Douluo level at most."
