Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 168 Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Starry Spirit Pearl, Longing for Love

As Mo Yu walked towards the direction of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon like a walking corpse, Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, also sensed that something was wrong.

He immediately stood in front of Mo Yu, channeling his soul power into Mo Yu's body in an attempt to wake him up.

However, Mo Yu was not controlled at all; he just glanced at Dugu Bo with a somewhat speechless expression.

"Senior Dugu, I'm fine. I just really wanted that thing."

Mo Yu pointed to the golden light of the earth dragon and said, "You know my martial soul is my original body martial soul, which has an exceptionally strong perception ability. I can clearly sense that this herb is very beneficial to me, so I couldn't help myself."

After hearing Mo Yu's words, Dugu Bo had no choice but to let go, though he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Was that out of control just now?
He almost thought that Mo Yu was being controlled by something.

As Mo Yu approached the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he suddenly trembled, sensing the call of the other immortal herbs.

It was a magical herb with black branches, but a palm-sized golden fruit at the top, which looked like a golden pearl.

When Mo Yu looked closely at the immortal herb, he discovered that the golden light on it was formed by countless golden rays converging together, which was truly peculiar.

Starry Spirit Pearl!

When Mo Yu saw this immortal herb, the name of the immortal herb suddenly came to mind.

Mo Yu didn't know what the Star Luo Spirit Pearl looked like; he just suddenly sensed it and knew the name of the immortal herb.

What Mo Yu didn't know was that the Star Luo Spirit Pearl was an extremely human-friendly immortal herb. Because it was difficult for it to develop intelligence, it would choose to merge with humans and help soul masters condense into soul cores in the future.

Mo Yu also possesses the Soul Power Cloud Crystal, and because his shadow overlaps with the shadow of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl hopes that Mo Yu will remove it.

Although Mo Yu didn't know what the Star Luo Spirit Pearl looked like, he had heard others talk about it online.

This Star Luo Spirit Pearl is used to help Soul Masters condense their Soul Core, and he had just condensed Soul Power Cloud Crystal within his body.

If Mo Yu had consumed the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, he could be certain that he would be able to condense his first soul core during the Soul Saint stage.

"Brother Mo Yu, why aren't you moving?"

Suddenly, Dugu Bo saw Mo Yu stop in front of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and start to stare blankly, so he quickly reminded him.

Seemingly because Mo Yu was embarrassed to take the herbs, Dugu Bo quickly took out his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and said.

“Brother Mo Yu, don’t worry about it. As I said, as long as it can cure my and my granddaughter’s illness, you can take any of the herbs here. This one is for you too. This treasure can collect living things, so take whatever you want.”

Although Dugu Bo has an eccentric personality, he keeps his word. He took out the Ruyi Baibao Pouch and was about to give it to Mo Yu, seemingly not minding that Mo Yu would take it.

"Thank you, Senior Dugu."

Mo Yu accepted the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, thanked Dugu Bo, but did not directly accept the immortal herbs.

He didn't know what the other immortal herbs looked like or how to pick them, so he wouldn't do anything reckless. But he remembered that in the original story, Tang San had let Xiao Wu, the rabbit, go with the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, so he accepted it.

Although he wouldn't let Xiao Wu be sacrificed like that, he still wanted to be prepared just in case.

"You're welcome. But Brother Mo Yu, with your keen senses, do you have any medicinal herbs suitable for my granddaughter?"

Seeing that Mo Yu hadn't moved for a long time, Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"Yes, there are definitely some here, but I don't know how to pick them without wasting their medicinal properties, nor do I know how to use them."

Mo Yu nodded. He knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye contained a highly poisonous herb called Snow Swan Kiss, which could amplify the poison many times over.

This herb is definitely the best herb for poison-attribute soul masters, provided that the soul master is not afraid of poison.

Ideally, one would have an external soul bone. Since the poison could be amplified many times over, a soul master could use an external soul bone to conceal the poison, or even to upgrade their own. But now, Mo Yu didn't know how to pluck the Snow Swan Kiss, and he also knew that Dugu Yan didn't have an external soul bone, so of course he couldn't tell Dugu Bo.

As for other medicinal herbs, there must be some suitable for Dugu Yan, but they just won't have an antidote effect.

Unless Mo Yu gives the Star Luo Spirit Pearl to Dugu Yan.

But this was a difficult decision. Mo Yu knew that Tang San had eaten three immortal herbs, which greatly increased his potential and earned him the recognition of a first-level god or even a god-king.

Although Tang San's own efforts and other opportunities were considerable, it cannot be denied that these three immortal herbs may have played a crucial role.

In order to be no weaker than Tang San in the original timeline, Mo Yu also had to consume three immortal herbs.

Besides the unknown immortal herb in front of him that was tempting his body, and the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, he would need at least one more.

Only then would he be able to choose the immortal herb for Dugu Yan; he is not the kind of person who is ungrateful.

Of course, if there were other immortal herbs that could replace the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, he could give the Star Luo Spirit Pearl directly to Dugu Yan.

It is believed that after Dugu Yan consumes the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, her soul power will be able to condense into a soul core, thus eliminating her fear of poison.

Thinking this way, Mo Yu quickly focused his attention on Lianyan's "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew".

Originally, Mo Yu's Netherworld Eye was an external soul bone with the ability to evolve infinitely, so whether or not it could enhance mental strength with the Dew of Longing was not that important.

He believed he had enough potential to evolve the Eye of the Underworld, break through to the god level in his spiritual power, and then find the God Realm.

But now, after thinking about it, Mo Yu felt that he needed to absorb the Dew of Longing.

He couldn't let anyone discover Xiao Wu's true identity, not even Tang San.

It's unknown whether Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes will be able to see through the simulation after they become stronger, but he can't gamble on it.

While Mo Yu was looking around at the immortal herbs, Dugu Bo was also observing Mo Yu.

Judging from Mo Yu's expressions—sometimes frowning, sometimes blank, sometimes determined—Dugu Bo realized that Mo Yu genuinely didn't recognize these herbs. However, Mo Yu must have recognized them, as if she had gone through some internal struggle.

Dugu Bo was indeed a wise old man, but he didn't expect that Mo Yu was currently selecting immortal herbs for his Xiao Wu.

When he was selecting the immortal herbs for Xiao Wu, he definitely wanted to give her three immortal herbs as well.

First is the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red, which is something Xiao Wu, with her love-obsessed mind, can easily acquire, and it's also the most suitable for her.

As for the other immortal herbs, Mo Yu pondered for a long time but could not come up with a good solution.

The other immortal herbs are either extremely suitable for the other seven monsters, or unsuitable for Xiao Wu.

We can't exactly send Xiao Wu to practice her Golden Body technique in the Ice and Fire realm.

However, when Mo Yu looked at the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, he thought of a celestial herb called the Primordial Immortal Herb.

The effect seems to be similar to that of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, except that the Primordial Immortal Grass may be more suitable for the existence of the Five Elements Martial Soul.

Mo Yu thought for a moment and decided to give Oscar's eight-petaled fairy orchid to Xiao Wu so that Oscar could absorb the Primordial Immortal Grass.

There's also the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from the original story, which seems to have miraculous effects with the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. I might as well just find a way to get it from the Min Clan.

As for the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma that Yu Xiaogang ate, it was naturally given to his master, Zhao Wuji.

Having made up his mind, Mo Yu no longer hesitated and began to use the three immortal herbs: Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Star Luo Spirit Pearl, and Autumn Water Dew.
