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

Chapter 53 Ice and Fire Body Refinement (Part 1)

After spending several hours, Lin Yizhang finally managed to give Dugu Bo a brief explanation of the herbs he didn't recognize.

Dugu Bo looked helpless and embarrassed, and said, "I was really guarding a treasure mountain without realizing it. If I knew these herbs, I might have been able to find a way to get rid of my poison."

For example, those three Dragon Blood Grasses you mentioned before might be able to evolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul into a higher-level Flood Dragon or Dragon Martial Soul, which would give Yan Yan and me hope of curing the poison.

"Well, thankfully, Yan Yan and I met you. Now we've both overcome the backlash from our martial souls. What do you plan to do with these immortal herbs? Without you, I wouldn't have known their value, so I'll leave them to you. But first, you need to find the most suitable immortal herb for Yan Yan."

Lin Yizhang nodded and said, "Grandpa, the value of this treasure land and the herbs here is self-evident. We can't let others know about it. Moreover, it would be best to strengthen the surrounding poison array so that even Soul Saint experts can't easily break in."

As for the use of these magical herbs, besides finding the most suitable ones for Yan Yan and Grandpa, I also want to find three for Ling Ling and her parents, and one suitable for Zhang Fan as well. I hope you can agree, Grandpa.

After Lin Yizhang finished speaking, he looked at Dugu Bo with anticipation.

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Alright, I already said you can distribute these immortal herbs yourself. But you should be very clear about the value of these immortal herbs. Won't you feel reluctant to give them away like this?"

Lin Yizhang said, "What's there to be reluctant about? They're all family."

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "Good, good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are a child who knows how to be grateful."

We can be ruthless to others, but we shouldn't be ruthless to our own people. Otherwise, even if we cultivate ourselves to an invincible level, we'll still be all alone. What's the point of living then?

Lin Yizhang nodded in agreement. This was exactly what "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" meant.

"Then let's go pick the immortal herbs that we can use now. I can't wait. I've already thought of the immortal herbs that are suitable for both of us. After we've absorbed the immortal herbs, we'll pick a few more to take back to Yan Yan and the others."

Both Dragon Blood Grass and Earth Dragon Golden Melon are very suitable for you, Grandpa. If you choose to take Dragon Blood Grass, given its ability to purify bloodlines and evolve them into dragon blood, I think your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul should be able to transform into a Flood Dragon or even a Dragon Martial Soul.

If you choose to take the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, I guess that with its earth dragon-turning-over effect, Grandpa, your martial soul can evolve into a dragon-type martial soul with earth attributes.

"As for me, I think the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable are quite suitable for me. If I consume these two immortal herbs and then jump into this Ice and Fire Spring to refine their medicinal power, I believe my physical strength will be greatly enhanced, and I can even develop a physique that is impervious to water and fire. Perhaps my original martial soul can even undergo a second awakening as a result." Lin Yizhang chuckled.

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. My martial soul already has nine spirit rings attached, so I can no longer absorb dragon-type spirit beasts to further enhance my martial soul."

"If Yan Yan absorbs the Dragon Blood Grass, she can hunt dragon-type spirit beasts to make spirit rings later, which will allow her martial spirit to develop to a greater extent. Moreover, there are three Dragon Blood Grasses. Yan Yan is still young and has more potential than me. These three Dragon Blood Grasses are enough to ensure that her Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial spirit can fully evolve into a dragon-type martial spirit."

Lin Yizhang thought Dugu Bo's words made a lot of sense, and nodded, "Okay, then I'll help you pick the golden melon from the earth dragon."

Lin Yizhang picked the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and handed it to Dugu Bo, saying, "Grandpa, just eat it and then cultivate your soul power to guide your body to digest its medicinal effects. I'll go pick some Eight-Starred Mystic Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetables to consume now. I'll jump into the spring to digest the medicinal effects later, so don't be surprised, Grandpa."

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "You know this place and the effects of these herbs better than I do. I know you know what you're doing."

After Dugu Bo went to the side to absorb the immortal herbs, Lin Yizhang also began to take action. Picking these immortal herbs required special tools, and Lin Yizhang had already prepared the tools for picking and preserving them before he came.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass needs to be harvested with metal or gold, while the Fiery Apricot Vegetable requires jade to be picked without diminishing its efficacy.

He took out a metal dagger from his soul tool and swiftly swung it towards the octagonal ice grass. At the same time, he quickly dodged backward and was already ten meters away in the blink of an eye.

The dagger flashed with a cold light, and the eight-cornered ice grass fell to the ground with a thud. In an instant, a chilling aura spread out, and a thin layer of white frost covered the surrounding herbs.

After cutting the eight-cornered ice grass, Lin Yizhang did not linger there or pick it up. Instead, he quickly ran to the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and used his jade dagger to pluck the Fiery Apricot Vegetable in the same manner.

He took out an iron hook and a jade hook again, and hooked up the two immortal herbs at the same time. The two immortal herbs fell to the ground in front of Lin Yizhang one after the other.

The two immortal herbs, which had previously been extremely cold and extremely hot, vanished simultaneously upon touching each other. A faint red light enveloped the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

Without hesitation, Lin Yizhang picked up the two highly poisonous herbs from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth. Although the two herbs were poisonous, after being countered by their nemesis, they were no longer as domineering as before. They melted in his mouth, turning into saliva that flowed down his throat. Lin Yizhang felt his tongue produce saliva and a refreshing fragrance.

After eating them, Lin Yizhang quickly took off his clothes and storage soul tool.

In just three breaths, Lin Yizhang's body began to tremble violently. Then, a layer of icy blue rose directly from his feet, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body turned completely blue. Then, another layer of red rose up, and his entire body turned completely red again.

However, in this simple alternation process, Lin Yizhang endured tremendous pain. Impacted by two extreme energies, Lin Yizhang felt that his body was about to explode.

Moreover, the original martial soul within the body also automatically attached itself, seemingly also bearing the impact of both ice and fire energies.

Lin Yizhang knew that the two herbs were already working in his body, so he took a deep breath and jumped directly into the confluence of the extreme cold Yin Spring and the blazing Yang Spring in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
