Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 23 Medicine is Useless, the Unyielding Poison Douluo

"Alright! Xiao, come here quickly! I refuse to believe I can't heal you! No one cured you before because they were incompetent; how could they compare to me?"

Poison Douluo stood with his hands on his hips, looking incredibly arrogant.

Behind him, a large cauldron floating in the blazing spring water was bubbling and steaming.

An indescribable, foul smell emanated from inside.

Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Poison Douluo.

"It's just a waste of effort."

If the grudge of the demon god were so easily resolved, then his three brothers and sisters would not have died.

How could the Emperor possibly sit idly by and do nothing?

Although the wind god could help him offset some of his karmic burdens, he could not completely eliminate them.

As for the Poison Douluo in front of me... it's not that Xiao looks down on him, it's just stating the facts.

Upon hearing this, Poison Douluo was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at them, beckoning them repeatedly, "Come here, I'll show you whether it's useful or not!"

Xiao walked up to him and looked up at the big pot.

The pot was placed on the spring water, one foot above the water's surface, and three feet high, totaling less than 1.5 meters.

Xiao could see the boiling black liquid inside.

It's unknown how many herbs Poison Douluo put inside. Various tonics and antidotes were mixed together, and the smell was so strong that even a dead person would be awakened by it.

Xiao looked at Poison Douluo again and sensed that the other party's soul power was attached to his nose, which should have blocked his sense of smell.

"What do I do?" Xiao asked.

Poison Douluo chuckled, "Go in and soak! Unleash a torrent of fire to infuse your body with the medicinal power of the herbs. Just wait and see how it takes effect!"

"..." Xiao's lips twitched. To be honest, he was not very willing to enter this big pot.

Seeing the expectant look in Poison Douluo's eyes, Xiao sighed softly. He took off his clothes, revealing a body that wasn't particularly strong, but had clearly defined muscles.

With a leap, he entered the large cauldron.

"puff……!!!"

A lot of the medicine splashed out.

Poison Douluo hurriedly retreated, dodging the potion. He said smugly, "Can you feel it? That surging medicinal power?! I used half of my collection for this potion!"

Poison Douluo carefully observed Xiao, trying to find signs of improvement in his eyes.

Now the two are several meters apart, and Xiao is inside the large pot, surrounded by steam, so he can't see Xiao's specific situation at all.

When Xiao entered the cauldron and was enveloped by the potions inside, it felt almost like falling into lava.

His first thought was that Poison Douluo was trying to kill him.

The spring water boiling below is not an ordinary flame at all. The heat emanating from it penetrates deep into the bone marrow, threatening to burn the entire body dry from the inside out!

At the same time, the medicinal power of countless herbs seeped through his skin pores and into his limbs and bones.

Those were streams of incredibly pure medicinal power.

Poison Douluo dared to claim he could cure him; based on the potency of these medicines, it's estimated that no more than three forces in the entire Douluo Continent could offer such a treatment.

The medicinal properties did indeed nourish Xiao's body once they entered his body.

However, it has absolutely no effect on offsetting the grudge of the demon god.

On the contrary, the physical strain caused Xiao a period of discomfort.

The effect of this pot of medicinal soup was even less than that of Tang Yuehua's zither music.

At least the music brings him joy, and the fact that he has endured the pungent smell of the medicine until now without jumping out is already an amazing testament to his resilience!

Poison Douluo continued smugly, "I'm not just detoxifying you, I'm also strengthening your body!"

"Among them, there are eighteen kinds of medicinal powers for cleansing the meridians and marrow! An ordinary child who goes in will probably come out with muscles and bones of iron!"

"And various antidotes can cure all poisons in the world, even the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King!"

Poison Douluo raised his chin. This pot of medicine was indeed his most exquisite work.

Xiao remained silent, listening to his self-praise.

Poison Douluo spoke for a long time, but Xiao didn't agree, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

He then launched into a story, recounting his close friendship with Tang San despite their age difference, his battle against the Golden Triangle here, and how Tang San had saved him and his granddaughter.

"That kid is a prodigy. I've never admired anyone before, but he's someone I can't compare to."

Poison Douluo shook his head and exclaimed in admiration.

After listening to Poison Douluo's words, Xiao jumped out of the pot.

He landed on the ground with a splash of water. His snow-white skin was completely untouched by the medicine, as white as jade.

His aura remained unchanged; he was still in a state between life and death.

These medicines did not have any therapeutic effect on him.

Poison Douluo hurriedly stepped forward, but his expression changed when he was a few steps away from Xiao.

His masterpiece still couldn't cure Xiao?

A sense of frustration arose spontaneously.

"No! I have other ways! I have many herbs here, surely some of which can cure you!" Poison Douluo said unwillingly.

……

After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left, Ge Long rushed to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to visit Emperor Xue Ye, where Qian Renxue happened to be present.

Without bothering with any build-up or preamble, Goron finished explaining the whole story.

"...I guided him to the City of Slaughter. Just now, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from the Spirit Hall came together and asked me to tell him Xiao's location," Golong said in a deep voice.

Emperor Xueye raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

The Spirit Hall acted incredibly quickly!

Although Xiao also killed Grand Duke Gohu, Emperor Xueye still regarded him as his subject.

However, both the Spirit Hall and Golong's treatment of Xiao made him extremely angry.

"...It's alright, would I doubt Grand Marshal Golong?" Emperor Xueye said with a smile.

A look of astonishment flashed across Qian Renxue's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

Neither the attacks by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, nor the journey to the City of Slaughter, were things she wanted to see.

"Father, Xiao once asked us to convey a message for him. Why don't we spread it now, giving Xiao momentum and making the Spirit Hall hesitant to act?"

Emperor Xueye nodded. "Alright, then go and handle it."

Qian Renxue accepted the order and left, quickening her pace.

She had to give the order as soon as possible to stop the Spirit Hall's attack on Xiao.

This is a talent she values!

……

Three days later, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo arrived in the City of Slaughter. After inquiring from various sources, they learned that Poison Douluo had a medicinal garden in this area, but they did not know which mountain it was.

The two floated in mid-air, looking down at the forest and mountains below.

Chrysanthemum Douluo said in a soft, feminine voice, "Although Sunset Forest is large, it's far smaller than Star Dou Great Forest. We'll search one by one; I refuse to believe we won't find that Xiao!"

Ghost Douluo nodded slightly.
