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

Chapter 44 Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass

Dugu Bo and Qian Renxue watched quietly as Lin Xiao picked the spiritual herbs. Although they wanted to help Lin Xiao as much as they could, unfortunately, they did not know how to pick these spiritual herbs. If they forcibly picked them, they would damage the herbs and cause them to lose their original effects.

They couldn't even distinguish which of these spiritual herbs were poisonous and which were not. Even Dugu Bo, the titled "Poison" Douluo, dared not say that he could distinguish them all, let alone Qian Renxue. All they could do was wait for Lin Xiao to pick these spiritual herbs.

"Among these spiritual herbs, some are highly poisonous, and even I have to be careful when touching them. But why are these highly poisonous spiritual herbs picked so easily by His Highness the Holy Son, as if they were just wild grasses that can be seen everywhere by the roadside? Is there some special method required?" Dugu Bo pondered to himself as he watched Lin Xiao's quick and swift movements.

Lin Xiao quickly picked the immortal herbs. He picked almost all the immortal herbs that he might need in the future and then placed them in the exquisite jade box he had prepared in advance.

These jade boxes were prepared by Lin Xiao to store these celestial herbs. The jade boxes are of top quality and can preserve the medicinal properties well. He has no worries that these celestial herbs will lose some of their medicinal properties when they are sent to Wuhun City because they have been out of the soil for too long.

"I've picked almost all the immortal herbs that I might need in the future. There are more than twenty of them. If you count the ones I didn't pick, there are probably thirty. I never expected that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would have thirty immortal herbs. The quantity is beyond my imagination." Lin Xiao murmured as he looked at the exquisite jade boxes neatly arranged on the ground.

Lin Xiao originally thought that there were at most a dozen or so immortal herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, but after careful observation, he found that the number far exceeded his expectations, and even the jade box he carried was not enough.

"There are clearly many immortal herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so why did Tang San only take out a few in the original story? Why didn't he take out the rest? And why did he use them elsewhere?" Lin Xiao looked at the jade box in front of him and pondered to himself.

"Could it be because..." Lin Xiao's lips curled slightly, and he already had the answer in his heart. He shook his head with a wry smile. Perhaps Tang San had kept all those immortal herbs, even after he became a god, he hadn't taken them all out.

Another possibility is that Tang San used all these celestial herbs to refine the so-called Yama's Decree, using almost all of the toxic celestial herbs.

Lin Xiao didn't think much of it. Anyway, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was now his, and he had a lot of immortal-grade spiritual herbs. He planned to make the most of all the value of these immortal-grade spiritual herbs and use them directly to enhance the strength of the Spirit Hall.

"I have found nearly half of the spiritual herbs that can cure the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. The rest can be collected by slowly searching. Then I can help Dugu Bo solve the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul."

Lin Xiao began to slowly search for the remaining spiritual herbs. Among them, the most crucial one was the immortal-grade spiritual herb, Twin Serpent Heart Grass. Although Twin Serpent Heart Grass was a highly poisonous immortal-grade spiritual herb, as long as other spiritual herbs were available to neutralize its toxicity, it could not only perfectly resolve the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul, but also strengthen its own origin, improve its cultivation aptitude, and so on. After consuming it, one could say that one would benefit immensely!

The flaw of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul, to put it bluntly, is that it is an incomplete Martial Soul. Although it is a Martial Soul, it will poison the Soul Master himself. If the flaw is filled, then the flaw of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul will be cured. From the perspective of the Martial Soul, the Soul Master with the Azure Serpent Martial Soul will not be harmed by the Azure Serpent Martial Soul poison!

"This is the Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass." In just a short while, Lin Xiao had already found the Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass and gathered the other ingredients and spiritual herbs. As long as Dugu Bo took it, the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul could be cured.

The Fairy Twin Snake Heart Grass has long, emerald-green leaves that curve slightly like a snake's tongue. The surface of the leaves seems to have a delicate sheen, like morning dew. The stems are slender yet tough.

It has a pale green color with a slight purple tinge, and grows upwards in a completely winding manner, like the lithe body of a snake floating on the water. At the top of the stem, a delicate flower blooms, which is jet black and emits a faint black fluorescent light.

Next to the Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass, there was another similar Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass. Through the Hundred Explanations of Immortal Herbs, Lin Xiao learned that the reason it was called Twin Snake Heart Grass was that next to each Twin Snake Heart Grass, there would inevitably be a similar spiritual herb, and these similar spiritual herbs had the same effect, without any difference.

Lin Xiao was quick-witted and nimble-fingered. Before the Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass could react, he had already plucked it and walked to Qian Renxue and Dugu Bo with all the picked spiritual herbs.

"Your Highness, I wonder which of these spiritual herbs can cure the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul?" Dugu Bo asked, looking at the dazzling array of spiritual herbs.

Looking at the spiritual herbs in front of him, Dugu Bo knew that although he didn't recognize them, he was clear that those spiritual herbs packaged in exquisite jade boxes were undoubtedly extremely precious. Otherwise, why wouldn't they be placed on the ground like other spiritual herbs?

"This herb in my hand is the spiritual herb that can cure the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul." Without hesitation, Lin Xiao manipulated his soul power to send the Immortal-grade Twin Serpent Heart Grass to Dugu Bo.

"This is..." Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. "Your Highness, are you sure you're not mistaken? Although I don't recognize this spiritual herb, I've witnessed its power before—it's extremely poisonous!"

The spiritual herb in front of him resembled a snake's body. When he first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he touched it because of its peculiar appearance and suffered greatly from its potent poison, which could penetrate directly into the skin.

"Of course there's no mistake. This Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass is indeed highly poisonous, but if taken in combination with other spiritual herbs, it can cure the defects of the Azure Serpent Martial Soul. There are two of them. You should understand without me saying it!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"So that's how it is!" Dugu Bo suddenly understood and asked, "Then how should I use this celestial herb, Twin Snake Heart Grass?"

"See those spiritual herbs on the ground? I've already sorted them. There are twenty in total, each with two types: one for you and one for your granddaughter. Use your soul power to transform the Immortal-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass into a liquid using your celestial-grade Twin Snake Heart Grass and the other spiritual herbs. You can then consume it directly," Lin Xiao explained.
