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

Chapter 51 Immortal Herb

Lin Yizhang had no intention of hiding the matter of the immortal herbs from Dugu Bo. He originally intended to keep these herbs for his own people, and Dugu Bo would definitely find out after Dugu Yan consumed them. Therefore, it was better to tell Dugu Bo about the herbs directly to avoid causing Dugu Bo to harbor any resentment towards him.

Moreover, given Dugu Bo's personality, he certainly wouldn't keep it to himself and Dugu Yan's use.

As for Ye Lingling and Zhang Fan, although Dugu Bo might feel a little reluctant to give them the immortal herb after learning how precious it was, it would only be out of his heart that he was unwilling.

Because Dugu Bo would surely understand that the immortal herbs would only reach their full potential when used where they are most needed. Ye Lingling is Lin Yizhang's woman, and Zhang Fan is practically Lin Yizhang's sworn brother. Both of them are very helpful to his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, so giving away two immortal herbs would be entirely worthwhile.

Moreover, there are plenty of immortal herbs. Even if only one or two are left for Dugu Yan and Lin Yizhang's future children, that would be enough. After all, immortal herbs can't be eaten as food, and if the roots are left, another batch of immortal herbs should grow in a few decades or a couple of hundred years. Furthermore, this treasure land not only has immortal herbs, but also countless top-grade medicinal herbs that can help soul masters cultivate without any side effects.

Therefore, Lin Yizhang was not at all unwilling to tell Dugu Bo about this treasure land and the relevant knowledge about the immortal herb.

The two arrived at the Yin Spring and Yang Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Lin Yizhang clearly felt that the rate at which his protective soul power was being consumed had increased significantly.

At the current rate of soul power consumption, Lin Yizhang felt he could only hold out for a day at most. If he couldn't use his soul power to protect himself, then under the corrosive influence of this extreme ice and fire aura, even if he didn't explode, he would die from poisoning.

Because extreme cold and extreme heat are both considered poisons, they are called cold poison and fire poison, respectively.

Lin Yizhang remembered that there was a miraculous herb here that could prevent him from being poisoned; that was the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb was the nemesis of all poisons, capable of neutralizing all toxins. It itself could not detoxify, but it could counteract poisons.

Lin Yizhang planned to find the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb first. With it, he wouldn't have to worry about being poisoned if he accidentally touched some poisonous herbs later.

According to herbal medicine texts, the Fragrant Jade Flower is a large, pale pink flower with no leaves. Its stem is three feet long, and the flower is extremely large, with a diameter of about one foot. Each petal looks as clear and translucent as crystal. The flower is pale pink, and the stamen is pale purple. Moreover, a pale pink light shield with a diameter of about ten meters is generated around it.

Based on the distinctive features of the Fragrant Fairy Delight, Lin Yizhang quickly found it on the bank where the red and white spring waters met.

As Lin Yizhang quickly walked to the side of the fragrant and exquisite fairy products, he immediately felt much more relaxed.

Lin Yizhang knew this was because he was inside the light shield formed by the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item, which reduced the influence of the ice and fire aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye on him.

Lin Yizhang quickly picked it and introduced it to Dugu Bo with a smile: "Grandpa, look, this is also a fairy herb. Its name is Youxiang Qiluo Fairy Herb."

Its effects are extraordinary; it is the bane of all poisons, capable of neutralizing all toxins, making it arguably the most powerful anti-poison weapon. Moreover, it emits a special fragrance that is hard for spirit beasts to resist.

Within the pale pink light barrier it forms, even if you, Grandpa, attack me with the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King's Venom, it won't harm me. However, it only has a protective effect against poison, not an antidote. Therefore, if you directly inject the venom into my body, Grandpa, I will still be poisoned.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise, "This large flower can really defend against my Azure Phosphorous Serpent King Poison? According to you, if someone were to fight me with this herb, wouldn't they be a natural counter to me?"

Lin Yizhang nodded and said, "Whether it's true or not, Grandpa, why don't you try it now and you'll know? Actually, I also want to know if what's recorded in the classics is true!"

"Alright, I'll try it now. Get ready, I'm going to release the poisonous mist of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King towards you. If anything happens, call me to stop immediately." After saying that, Dugu Bo released his Azure Phosphorous Serpent King Martial Soul, and then released the poisonous mist of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King towards Lin Yizhang.

Lin Yizhang was prepared for the spreading poisonous fog, and he would definitely call out to stop Dugu Bo if anything went wrong. Although Lin Yizhang had a lot of confidence in this immortal herb, he always unconsciously became vigilant when faced with danger; perhaps this was what others called "fear of death."

As expected, the test results showed that the poisonous mist was neutralized by the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb as soon as it spread from Dugu Bo's palm, and the poisonous mist had no chance to harm Lin Yizhang.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo also withdrew his martial spirit, clicking his tongue in amazement and saying, "This is truly a miraculous herb!"

Lin Yizhang continued his search for immortal herbs with the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herbs.

Soon, Lin Yizhang found the magical herbs that the Shrek Seven Devils ate in the anime: Qiluo Tulip, Xiangsi Duanchanghong, Qirong Tongtianju, Baban Xianlan, Jiguan Fenghuang Kui, Shuixian Yujigu, and Wangchuan Qiushui Lu.

In addition, Lin Yizhang also discovered other herbs that reached the level of immortal herbs, such as the Crimson Swan Kiss, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and the Dragon Blood Grass...

Lin Yizhang carefully introduced these medicinal herbs to Dugu Bo, including their names, effects, usages recorded in ancient texts, and harvesting methods.

When Lin Yizhang introduced the rare and precious Chrysanthemum, Dugu Bo murmured, "Is Yue Guan's martial soul that powerful? That makes sense. The fact that he could cultivate to the title of Title Douluo with just a broken chrysanthemum is enough to show that his martial soul is extraordinary. Sigh, I never thought about this carefully before. Otherwise, if I had used this to fight Yue Guan one-on-one, he might have been able to get the better of me."

Then, Dugu Bo asked Lin Yizhang curiously, "So, if this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb were given to a Title Douluo who possesses the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, how much would he gain?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yizhang replied directly, "Grandpa, the Title Douluo you mentioned should be Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, right? If he were to consume this immortal herb, I predict his spirit power level would definitely increase by at least one level. Moreover, after his spirit, body, and talent are transformed by the same immortal herb as his spirit, he might even be able to cultivate to level 99 Limit Douluo in the future!"

"What?!" Dugu Bo exclaimed, "A level 99 Limit Douluo?!"

Lin Yizhang said, "This is just my guess, but Chrysanthemum Douluo will definitely reap great rewards after consuming it."

After introducing all the rare herbs that could be found in this treasure land, Lin Yizhang then introduced Dugu Bo to the cinnabar lotus and the nine-grade purple ganoderma, which were considered top-grade medicinal herbs whose effects were almost comparable to those of rare herbs.

Finally, when Dugu Bo introduced the rare poisonous herbs that he did not recognize, Dugu Bo became even more excited.

Dugu Bo seemed to see himself using these poisonous herbs to create poisons even more potent than those he could currently concoct. He used these highly toxic herbs to deepen his understanding of poisons, eventually reaching the peak of the Douluo realm, where his poison skills would be unmatched.

Breaking through to the Title Douluo level is no easy feat for a Soul Master. Each level of Soul Power required for a Title Douluo is not just about accumulating Soul Power, but more importantly, about understanding their Martial Soul or the "Dao" they cultivate, such as the Sword Dao of a Sword Douluo.

Similarly, as long as Dugu Bo deepens his understanding of the Dao of Poison, he also has the potential to break through to higher levels, which is why Dugu Bo is so excited.
