The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 41 Mere Immortal Herb
"Danzhu? May I see it?"

"Alright." Dugu Bo opened his mouth, and a beam of green light shot out from his mouth. It was a bright green bead: "This is the pill bead that I, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, condensed when I evolved into the Serpent Queen. It can be said that half of my strength is in this bead."

Dan Heng asked with considerable surprise, "This is... the prototype of the Dragon Ball?"

"What Dragon Ball?"

"The Dragon Ball is the essence of a dragon's power. Your pill is too crude; it can only condense half of your power and toxins, not even including the essence. Since you have a pill, that makes things easier. I can teach you the method to condense the Dragon Ball and transfer the essence of toxins in your body into it."

"This will not only solve the problem of your poison backfiring on yourself, but also prevent your poison skills from being affected, and your strength will become even stronger."

Dugu Bo was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had been mentally prepared for a significant loss of strength after being detoxified, but he never expected to be able to have the best of both worlds and have his cake and eat it too.

"This method of condensing the Dragon Pearl... My granddaughter doesn't have a Dragon Pearl, can she learn it?" Dugu Bo, who always kept Dugu Yan in mind, asked.

“It will be much more troublesome without the Danzhu, but it should still be possible to succeed in a few years or a decade,” Dan Heng said.

"That's good." Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. His granddaughter's body hadn't accumulated too much toxin yet, and she should be able to live for another 10 or 20 years, enough time to condense a dragon pearl and resolve any future problems.

“I say, Senior Dugu, you don’t need to worry about your granddaughter at all. Your poison has penetrated deep into your bones, and ordinary detoxification methods are useless, but your granddaughter’s condition should not be as severe as yours. With so many immortal herbs in your herb garden, you can easily solve the problem and even greatly increase your granddaughter’s strength,” Meng Huaifeng reminded him.

Dugu Bo suddenly realized, "That's right, I was blind before. I didn't recognize most of these herbs and didn't dare to use them indiscriminately. Now I have someone who recognizes them, don't I?"
"Don't call me senior, that's too formal. Just call me Old Poison Master. If you don't mind, I'll be so bold as to call me Grandpa Dugu," Dugu Bo said.

"Don't even think about taking advantage of me." Meng Huaifeng rolled his eyes.

"Hey, what kind of magical herb do you think would suit my Yanyan? Her martial soul is the Azure Scale Serpent." Dugu Bo rubbed his hands together, asking with a hint of flattery.

"Among the medicinal herbs I mentioned before, there are some suitable ones, but I haven't looked at half of them yet, so they may not be the most suitable. I suggest we wait until we've looked at them all before making a decision."

“Yes, you’re right. It has to be the most suitable one. There’s no rush.” Dugu Bo nodded repeatedly.

Next, Danheng began to teach Dugu Bo the technique of condensing dragon pearls. Dugu Bo was magnanimous; without waiting for his own problem to be completely resolved before fulfilling his promise, he simply waved his hand and told Dugu Bo to pick whichever of these immortal herbs he liked.

The next day, after recovering, Meng Huaifeng finished identifying the remaining half of the herbs and picked the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and Wangchuan Qiushui Dew for himself.

The imaginary energy didn't increase at all; this is only related to destiny and has nothing to do with external energy.

My physical strength increased a tiny bit, but my mental strength increased more significantly.

Xing insisted on trying it, so Meng Huaifeng picked the Destruction Thunder Mushroom, which was theoretically very suitable for her. However, Xing had no effect on it after consuming it.

The Star Core Essence's physical strength is far superior to Meng Huaifeng's. It's impossible for a mere immortal herb to enhance her body on that basis; it's simply impossible.

Seeing this on March 7th, he decisively gave up the idea of ​​taking one as well, as it would be a complete waste to eat it himself.

However, she also chose a magical plant, an eight-petaled fairy orchid, which was beautiful, emitted a wonderful fragrance, and could last for a thousand years without withering if properly preserved. It would be very suitable to place it on the train as a potted ornamental plant.

The immortal herb is most useful to Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Huaifeng intends to treat Zhu Zhuqing like a protagonist.

"Zhu Qing, these two immortal herbs are the most precious and potent herbs in this area, but they must be taken together. Taking them will cause intense pain and is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, their terrifying medicinal properties can reduce you to ashes. Do you dare to take them?"

Meng Huaifeng pointed to the two immortal herbs at the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and asked Zhu Zhuqing. "Dare!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate at all and said decisively, "If I didn't have the chance, so be it. Now the opportunity to become stronger is right in front of me, and I can't give it up."

“You have already escaped your original fate. Even if you can’t join the train crew, we can at least take you away from Douluo Star and start a new life on another planet,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"Are there no new dangers in other worlds? Only those who are strong enough can control their own destiny, and the stronger the better." Zhu Zhuqing saw this very clearly.

"You need to understand that the improvement you gained by risking your life and giving it your all may be insignificant once you embark on your destiny. Even so, are you still going to fight so hard?" Meng Huaifeng asked again.

The saying goes, "Refining one's body with ice and fire can grant one immunity to water and fire." Of course, this is an exaggerated description, and only provides limited immunity to water and fire.

Once you embark on a pioneering path, you will receive the blessing of pioneering and possess great resilience to all kinds of harsh environments, including water and fire.

While it may not be as effective as a body immune to water and fire in terms of simply resisting them, its protective power is more comprehensive and its effects become stronger as the traveler progresses on their journey.

“Even so, I’m willing to take the gamble. Embarking on a destiny is an uncertain future. I believe that seizing the present is the most practical and important thing. If you can’t even seize the present, how can you seize the future?” Zhu Zhuqing’s realization left March Seven speechless.

"Clap clap."

Meng Huaifeng clapped twice and smiled broadly, "Congratulations on passing the test. Don't worry, with Dan Heng here, if you can't withstand it, the energy of the immortal herb can be dispelled with a wave of your hand. There is no danger to your life."

Zhu Zhuqing relaxed slightly. Although she was determined to take a gamble, no one would be unwilling to do something that guaranteed safety.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Danheng."

"It was nothing," Dan Heng waved his hand.

Dan Heng has finished teaching the technique of condensing dragon balls, and Dugu Bo is currently in seclusion to cultivate.

With the help of Meng Huaifeng and San Yueqi, Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously consumed the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate Grass. After the medicine took effect, she jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Ordinary clothes vanish instantly in the spring water.

"Turn around quickly, don't look!" March 7th hurriedly blocked Meng Huaifeng and Dan Heng's view.

Even without March 7th's reminder, Meng Huaifeng and Dan Heng had already turned away, refusing to look or listen to anything improper.

"Hehe, I can watch." Xing smiled smugly, and then openly watched non-stop.

March 7th was a little conflicted about whether Xingye should turn around too.

It must be admitted that the kitten's will is extremely strong. Although it is slightly less than Tang San's, it is far stronger than the other five monsters.

Amidst the intense pain, Zhu Zhuqing could only occasionally groan in agony.

After enduring this ordeal, Zhu Zhuqing fell into a coma, allowing the power of the spring water from the immortal herb to strengthen her body.
