Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 43 Dugu Bo's Heart Returns

Dugu Bo spoke earnestly, pleading again, "Dugu Bo begs, I beg Your Highness the Holy Son to help me, to help my granddaughter, to resolve the flaws in the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. From this day forward, Dugu Bo will never harbor any disloyalty in this life. I implore Your Highness the Holy Son to help me!"

Dugu Bo now clearly knows that the solution to the flaws of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul is right in front of him. Whether he can get rid of the harm caused by the Azure Serpent Martial Soul, and whether his granddaughter Dugu Yan can avoid dying young in the future, all depends on Lin Xiao.

If, if Lin Xiao can truly help Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan completely resolve the defects in their martial souls, then in this lifetime, Dugu Bo will never have any disloyal thoughts and will completely submit to the Spirit Hall and to Lin Xiao from the bottom of his heart!

"Brother Lin Xiao, now that you've brought this up, do you already intend to help Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Bo resolve the flaws in the Azure Serpent Martial Soul?" Qian Renxue asked softly.

"Of course, since I said so, I will definitely help Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan to resolve the flaws in the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. Moreover, if Dugu Bo's Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul were without flaws, his strength would be even greater, and he could greatly help you in the future," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Dugu Bo, since I've brought this up, it's because I intend to help you resolve the flaws in your Azure Serpent Martial Soul. Furthermore, after this method resolves the flaws, if any of your descendants still awaken the Azure Serpent Martial Soul, its toxicity will remain unchanged, but it will never again harm the Soul Master!"

Lin Xiao explained the implications clearly, hoping that Dugu Bo would understand that sparing his life was already a great favor, and now he had even helped him perfectly resolve the flaws in the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. He only hoped that the other party would completely submit to them and the Spirit Hall because of this!

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo burst into tears. In an instant, this titled Douluo powerhouse knelt on the ground and respectfully said to Lin Xiao, "At that time, Dugu Bo offended His Highness the Holy Son and the Young Master."

"Not killing Dugu Bo is already an immense favor. Now, His Highness the Holy Son has gone beyond past grievances to help Dugu Bo resolve the flaws in his Azure Serpent Martial Soul and save my granddaughter Dugu Yan's life. Dugu Bo will never forget this."

Seeing Dugu Bo kneeling on the ground, Lin Xiao knew clearly from the presence of the enslavement mark that Dugu Bo had completely submitted to them and the Spirit Hall. The ancestor's way of managing people was indeed correct: give a reward for a beating.

"Get up, Dugu Bo. Since I've decided to help you, I won't go back on my word. Come back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with us. I will personally prepare the spiritual herbs to fix the flaws in your and your granddaughter's Azure Serpent Martial Soul," Lin Xiao said calmly.

After saying that, Lin Xiao ignored Dugu Bo, picked up Qian Renxue, leaped up, landed on the black dragon's head, completely dispelled the barrier, and began to return towards the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

[Congratulations, host! You have completed the guardian mission and recruited Dugu Bo. The mission is now in the settlement phase.]

The system notification sound, indicating the mission was complete, continued to echo in Lin Xiao's mind.

After returning to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Lin Xiao looked at the dazzling array of immortal-grade spiritual herbs and ordinary spiritual herbs in front of him, and began to use the Hundred Solutions of Immortal Herbs in his mind to start concocting spiritual herbs to resolve the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul.

Watching Lin Xiao prepare the spiritual herbs, Qian Renxue parted her lips slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin Xiao, how do you plan to prepare these spiritual herbs? Do you need my help? I can help you share the burden."

Wearing custom-made gloves, Lin Xiao carefully picked the spiritual herbs, leaving the roots and stems behind. He shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Xiao Xue, some of these spiritual herbs may seem harmless, but that's not the case. Some of them contain potent poisons. With your strength, if you were to come into contact with them, it could be life-threatening. So, you just need to watch them quietly."

Lin Xiao knew that Qian Renxue wanted to help him, but there were quite a few poisonous spiritual herbs in the Yin-Yang Well. Ordinary spiritual herbs were fine, even if they were poisonous, their toxicity wouldn't be too severe. But the toxicity of those immortal-grade spiritual herbs was, needless to say, extremely high.

A weak Soul Master without special equipment could be in mortal danger if they touched the poisonous herbs. Even with Qian Renxue's strength, he could quickly heal the victim if they touched the poisonous herbs, but it would definitely be painful. It would be better to just quietly watch him pick the herbs.

"His Highness is right. Some of these spiritual herbs may appear very vibrant and beautiful, but they are actually highly poisonous. If a weak Soul Master were to come into contact with them, it could be life-threatening. Young Master, you should listen to His Highness's advice," Dugu Bo said slowly.

Back when he first arrived here, he couldn't resist bringing a few of those vibrant and beautiful spiritual herbs and flowers to his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

Little did he expect that these unfamiliar spiritual herbs and flowers, though beautiful and vibrant in appearance, were actually highly poisonous. He suffered greatly at the time, and if he hadn't been a Title Douluo, it wouldn't have been easy to expel the poison from his body!

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded slightly, completely abandoning the idea of ​​going forward to help. There were indeed many bright and beautiful spiritual herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and he did indeed like those bright and beautiful spiritual herbs.

But he didn't recognize any of them. If she had to say what spiritual herbs she recognized around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it would only be Blue Silver Grass, a common roadside weed. Since she didn't recognize any of these spiritual herbs and they were poisonous, she couldn't very well go and make things worse.

"It's such a pity. Some of these spiritual herbs are so vibrant and beautiful, but who would have thought they would be poisonous? I was planning to grow a few in the Crown Prince's residence, but it seems I won't have the chance," Qian Renxue said with a wry smile.

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he continued to pick these spiritual herbs. At the same time, without affecting their medicinal properties, he would try to leave the roots here, so that the time it would take for the spiritual herbs to regrow would be greatly reduced.

If all of them were dug up, not even the roots would be left, only the seeds. If these spiritual herbs were to grow back to their original state before they were dug up, even though the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is a natural medicinal garden, it still couldn't achieve the same effect as before the digging up of spiritual herbs in just a few years by leaving only the seeds.

It's supposed to be a place for recycling, but it's become a one-time use site. If you want to use it a second time, it's hard to say how long it will take.
