Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 49 Alchemy Grounds

Lin Yizhang spent two days at Ye Lingling's house, reviewing all the books that recorded knowledge about medicinal herbs.

Lin Yizhang carefully checked the books, especially those about the methods of harvesting and preserving the herb, to make sure he remembered them correctly before putting them away.

On the third day, Lin Yizhang bid farewell to Ye Lingling and left the Nine Heart Begonia family, heading to Dugu Bo's residence.

"Hey, little monster, you couldn't resist coming to see my Yan Yan after only a few days on vacation?" Dugu Bo teased Lin Yizhang after seeing him.

Looking at the middle-aged Dugu Bo in front of him, Lin Yizhang said, "I do miss Yan Yan a bit, but I mainly came here to see you."

"Oh, what do you want to see me about?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"Grandpa, your title is Poison, and you can also refine various poisons. You also have a certain understanding of pharmacology. If I said I wanted to use herbs to refine medicines that could help Soul Masters cultivate, what would you think?" Lin Yizhang asked.

"Ah, little monster, have you lost your mind?" Dugu Bo said, placing his hand on Lin Yizhang's forehead to check his temperature. He continued, "You don't have a fever, do you? How can you say such nonsense?"

Lin Yizhang understood why Dugu Bo reacted this way. While herbs that could aid cultivation existed on the Douluo Continent, they could not be taken in excess and most had side effects. No one specifically refined medicine to assist cultivation. The Po Clan refined medicine to heal injuries, detoxify, and save people to make money, not to assist cultivation.

Sigh, Lin Yizhang couldn't help but sigh, the Douluo world is really too strange.

It is indeed backward, even traveling is done by horse-drawn carriage. According to the normal development process of the world, the Douluo world should have long ago developed the profession of beast trainer to tame those flying soul beasts as mounts or means of transportation.

It is indeed advanced, even possessing a storage soul tool. Such an item could never be created unless a civilization is advanced enough.

The Douluo world is like a combination of advanced and backward societies. The Douluo people today have very limited thinking. They don't even invest heavily in the research and development of high-tech products like soul tools. It's absurd that they can't even replicate the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

It's important to know that the mental power of a Title Douluo is exceptionally strong; a simple probe should be enough to clearly see the structure of a hidden weapon made of refined iron.

Even if you don't understand the principles, just because you see a complete hidden weapon structure, does that mean you can't assemble it yourself? Even a child can do something like building blocks, so why can't a Title Douluo?

Or is it that even refined iron cannot be detected by the spiritual power of a titled Douluo?

Lin Yizhang, being in the real world of Douluo Continent, had already asked Dugu Bo. The powerful spiritual energy of a Title Douluo could see through many objects and detect their density, size, shape, and other data. Apart from metals with very high density and special materials, such as deep-sea silver, which could block the detection of spiritual energy, there were basically no metals that could not be detected.

In other words, Tang San really does have the protagonist's halo protecting him.

Over the years, Lin Yizhang has come to understand that only one of him and Tang San can live. As long as Tang San lives, Lin Yizhang will always have a sense of crisis. What if Tang San tells him, "You have found your way to death," when he is not on guard? Then he might be doomed.

You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. So I have to plan carefully and kill him in one fell swoop.

Lin Yizhang didn't believe that the protagonist's halo was unbreakable. It was all up to human effort. As long as he wasn't stupid enough to let Tang San go under the absolute crushing power, Lin Yizhang believed that even the protagonist's halo couldn't save Tang San!

Despite his feelings, Lin Yizhang didn't forget that he needed to persuade Dugu Bo to support his alchemy.

Lin Yizhang calmed himself down, cleared his mind of all the random thoughts, and said to Dugu Bo, "Grandpa, when you were making poison, you must have thought about mixing those highly poisonous herbs together to extract their toxins and create an extremely potent mixed poison, thus creating a poison that no one could cure."

But if you extract the toxins from these poisonous plants and mix them together, will the toxicity of the mixed toxins actually decrease?

"And sometimes, can poison be made from herbs that are not inherently poisonous?"

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "This situation does indeed occur."

Lin Yizhang continued, "The fact that the toxicity of herbs that were originally highly poisonous decreases after being mixed, and the fact that non-toxic herbs can be used to make poison, is enough to show that the medicinal effects of some herbs can be combined with the medicinal effects of other herbs to produce stronger effects or other special effects."

Imagine if we combined those herbs that could aid a Soul Master's cultivation without side effects with other common herbs, making their effects even more potent—how many benefits would that bring?

Dugu Bo fell into deep thought, and after a dozen seconds spoke, "What you said seems to make some sense, but how can you be sure you can successfully refine the medicine you described? And have you considered how much time you'll spend researching it? Besides, those herbs that can help Soul Masters cultivate without side effects are also difficult to obtain. How can you refine medicine without the herbs?"

Faced with a barrage of questions from Dugu Bo, Lin Yizhang patiently replied, "I'll try to spend as little time on this as possible, so as not to waste too much of my cultivation time. Besides, I plan to try using some herbs that I can find to see if I can achieve any results. I believe that as long as I find the right formula, even ordinary herbs can be refined into pills with extraordinary effects."

Dugu Bo said helplessly, "Alright, the things in your brain are really beyond my comprehension. You can even create a bunch of self-created soul skills. Maybe this time you can also come up with the extraordinary pill you mentioned."

Lin Yizhang said happily, "Thank you for your support, Grandpa. Grandpa, do you know where I can buy a good medicine cauldron? Also, refining pills requires high-temperature melting of herbs. Grandpa, do you know where there are volcanoes or other suitable places for pill refining?"

Dugu Bo said, "I can buy you a medicine cauldron. As for the place for refining pills, the place where I usually refine poisons is a good place, but it is where I grow all kinds of poisonous herbs. I'm afraid you might accidentally get poisoned by the herbs."

Furthermore, the environment there isn't suitable for ordinary Soul Masters to stay in for extended periods; otherwise, they risk exploding and dying. It's not suitable for you. Therefore, I don't have a good place to recommend to you at the moment.
