Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

"Who plucked those two immortal herbs? What if that person plucked them at the same time, consumed them simultaneously, and then jumped into this Yin-Yang Spring?"

Thinking of this, Tang San felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Oh no! That womanizer might still be alive!"

Chapter 56. Yan Breaks Through Level 56

56.

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Dugu Bo's heart tightened.

"Kid, what did you say?! That womanizer isn't dead?!"

Tang San nodded slightly.

"That's possible. Are you sure he fell into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring?"

“When I arrived, I saw that the water at the confluence of the two springs was still rippled, so something must have fallen in. Then I noticed that the two highly poisonous herbs were gone. In Sunset Forest, no soul beast has ever dared to trespass on my territory, so I am quite certain that what fell in was a person.”

"Did you notice any remaining herbs or leaves around here?"

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"Later I looked at it carefully. Although some flowers and plants were missing, there were no signs of extensive damage. The flower thief was probably a meticulous person. He picked each herb with great care."

Hearing this, Tang San felt even more uneasy.

"It seems my guess was correct."

"How is this possible? If he fell into these two extreme springs, he would turn into pus in an instant. How could he survive?"

Dugu Bo was also somewhat uneasy.

Tang San smiled and shook his head.

"You are unaware of this. If you ingest both of those highly poisonous immortal herbs at the same time, and then jump into the confluence of the two polar springs, you will not only be protected from the water's corrosive effects, but the water will also help you better absorb the medicinal properties of the two immortal herbs."

"Such a strange thing!"

Looking at the extremely hot and extremely cold springs, Dugu Bo felt very incredulous.

Tang San then asked:

"Besides these two highly poisonous herbs, what other herbs did he pick? Do you remember?"

"He also picked several more. I don't remember most of them, but I do remember two of them."

"What are they like?"

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then continued:

"There is a peculiar large flower that can release a pale pink light. Its fragrance seems to have the effect of neutralizing toxins, but unfortunately it cannot detoxify my body."

Tang San seemed to be deep in thought, muttering to himself:

"The pink light shield can neutralize toxins, but it can't cure the poison in Dugu Bo's body? Could it be the rare and precious elixir, Youxiang Qiluo?"

Dugu Bo suddenly interrupted:

"Kid, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing. What about the other one? What does it look like?"

Dugu Bo sighed and continued:

"The other plant looked like an ordinary white flower, about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony, without any leaves. What was peculiar was that its stem was connected to a completely black stone."

A few red petals adorn the white flower, as vivid as blood, giving it a somewhat breathtaking appearance.

Of the missing immortal herbs, that was the only one that was uprooted, and the black stone was taken with it.

Although I don't know its name, I have a feeling it's definitely not just a simple herb.

Speaking of this herb, Dugu Bo felt heartbroken.

After hearing Dugu Bo's description, Tang San frowned even more deeply.

"Could it be the supreme treasure among celestial herbs, the Acacia Heartbreak Red?"

"Lovesickness is red?"

"That's right. The black stone at the base of its stem is called 'Wu Jue'. The Acacia Heartbreak Red is also known as the king of flowers, with the power to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. However, it is a plant that recognizes its master by dripping blood, and the method of picking it is extremely particular. You need to think of your beloved and be sincere and earnest in order to have a chance of being recognized by it."

"I see. Kid, you know a lot. Even if I were lucky enough to pick it, it probably wouldn't approve of me."

Tang San did not respond to Dugu Bo's words, but instead fell into deep thought.

Judging from all the signs, that person seemed to know how to pick the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, the Fiery Apricot Blossom, and the Heartbreaking Red Acacia. Moreover, he did not wantonly destroy other immortal herbs when picking them. It can be seen that he was also a person with a deep understanding of flowers and plants.

"Kid, what are you thinking about now?"

"Senior, who else in this world understands herbs as well as you do?"

Dugu Bo smiled smugly.

"I have spent my whole life studying herbs. The only people who can reach my level are probably Chrysanthemum Guan of the Spirit Hall and Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan."

"Chrysanthemum Pass? Yang Wudi?"

Tang San knew nothing about those two people.

"Kid, don't overthink it. It couldn't be those two. Given their personalities, if they came here, they would never just take away a few herbs. Besides, my herb garden has been peaceful for the past year, with no signs of outsiders breaking in. Perhaps that person really has turned into pus."

"Is that so? I hope so."

"Alright. You should hurry up and research the antidote. Remember what I said: you are not allowed to pick any herbs without my permission."

"okay, I get it."

Subsequently, under Dugu Bo's supervision, Tang San picked several medicinal herbs and began to develop an antidote.

~~~~~~~~~

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

After finishing his training that day, Yan discovered that he had broken through the level 50 barrier, which meant that he could now obtain his fifth spirit ring.

He then went to the Yue residence and told Yue Guan the good news.

Yue Guan was also very happy to learn that Yan had broken through to level 50.

"Yan, congratulations! You'll soon be getting your first ten-thousand-year soul ring."

"Teacher, could you come with me to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Of course. Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are much more powerful than thousand-year-old soul beasts. Why don't we invite Xie Yue and Nana along as well? It would be a good opportunity for the three of you to gain experience."

"No need, right? They'll probably both break through level 50 soon, then we can go together. This time, I want to hunt a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast all by myself."

Yue Guan nodded, understanding Yan's thoughts.

"Alright then. However, we must inform the Pope about this matter first."

"Okay, I'll go tell her right away."

Over the past year, with the absorption of the medicinal properties of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, Yan's physique has improved.

Now that I've broken through level 50, I can consume that Phoenix Sunflower with Cockscomb.

However, Yan did not intend to take it now.

Because consuming it would increase one's soul power at an extraordinary speed, it would inevitably arouse Bibi Dong's suspicion.

He planned to wait until after the Soul Master Competition ended, find an opportunity to go out and gain experience, and then take it.

After leaving the Moon Palace, Yan went directly to the Papal Palace to ask Bibi Dong for instructions.

Bibi Dong remained as cold as ever, sitting high above the Pope.

Inside the entire hall, only Yan and Bibi Dong were present, and the silence was eerily profound.

Yan spoke:

"Your Holiness, I have broken through level fifty and would like to invite Elder Ju to accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain my fifth soul ring."

Bibi Dong looked at Yan expressionlessly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Yan, you've broken through level 50 so quickly, that's impressive."

Chapter 57 The Raging Fiery Wolves

57.

In the past two years, Yan's attitude towards Hu Liena has changed, and Bibi Dong is well aware of this.

She was genuinely happy.

She regarded Huliena as her successor in the Papal Court, and she did not want Huliena to waste too much time and energy on personal matters.

Compared to before, Yan is no longer obsessed with Hu Liena. Now that he's taken things seriously, he's gradually starting to realize his potential.
