Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 22 Consuming Immortal Herbs and the Evolution of Martial Soul

It has to be said that Dugu Bo and his companion were really lucky; there were exactly two ripe earthworm melon plants.

While tidying up the herb garden, he discovered some unrecorded herbs besides those belonging to the main characters, such as the Mighty Monk Fruit, the Radiant Sunflower, and seven or eight other immortal herbs.

But why did Tang San take all of these things? He didn't leave anything behind. This shows that Tang San's character isn't very good.

However, this has nothing to do with Xiao Yi. Since he arrived first, it is his. Giving the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Dugu Bo and the other person is making the best use of it.

Moreover, the remaining medicinal herbs all belong to Xiao Yi. Since Dugu Bo is willing to be his protector, let's strengthen the team.

His plan was to first have Dugu Bo and his grandson prepare a medicinal bath to heal their internal injuries before consuming the earthworm and golden melon.

He himself chose the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a neutral celestial herb that, when consumed, circulates qi throughout the limbs and unblocks the eight meridians, enabling one to cultivate an indestructible body. He planned to keep the rest for future use in training his own people.

Xiao Yi told Dugu Bo about his plans.

Dugu Bo thought about it and agreed. After all, his body had been riddled with holes from the poison after being cured, so it wouldn't be appropriate to evolve his martial soul like that. Therefore, he listened to Xiao Yi's opinion.

Furthermore, the remaining medicinal herbs certainly cannot be exposed, so cultivating a team is indeed a good approach.

As the saying goes, medicine and poison are inseparable; those who play with poison will definitely have some medical skills.

Dugu Bo has a medicinal bath formula; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to suppress the toxins for so many years using only his soul power.

So the two of them started using the medicinal herbs in the herb garden that were good for healing the body.

Cinnabar lotus, snow silkworm, winter worm, summer grass—top-grade medicinal herbs were being thrown in one after another. Dugu Bo was really going all out to heal his and his granddaughter's internal injuries. If a person soaked in it, it would remove impurities from the body, eliminate hidden injuries, clear the meridians, enhance soul power, and even have beauty and skin-nourishing effects. It could be described as a rare treasure. Moreover, if this tub of medicinal bath were placed outside, countless people would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it.

An hour later, the medicinal bath was prepared, and Dugu Bo and Xiao Yi carried the wooden tub into Dugu Bo's wooden house.

Once the wooden bucket was moved into the house, Dugu Bo started to chase people away, since it was impossible for a girl to let Xiao Yi see her naked.

As evening fell, Dugu Bo and his grandson finished their medicinal bath, got dressed, and came out.

Dugu Yan's skin became incredibly smooth and delicate, truly fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs. Her figure and skin were already good, but after the medicinal bath, her skin became as smooth as milk.

Even Xiao Yi couldn't help but be tempted by it.

After Dugu Bo's hidden injuries were healed, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his black hair made him look like a young man in his twenties or thirties.

"It seems that Senior Dugu was quite a handsome man in his youth."

"Of course, when I was young, I had many suitors, but I chose Yan Yan's grandmother in the end. Thank you, Xiao Yi. I have never felt so relaxed since I was troubled by snake venom for so many years."

Dugu Bo felt light and agile, and said smugly to Xiao Yi.

"Wow, Grandpa, you really look younger! Grandpa was this handsome when you were young. Compared to you, I feel like all the other young people are nothing."

Dugu Yan grabbed Dugu Bo's arm and looked him up and down in surprise.

"Hahaha, otherwise how could Yan Yan be so beautiful?" Dugu Bo said with a smug look on his face.

"Come with Grandpa, Yan Yan, let's go see the magic herb that's right for you. Earth Dragon Golden Melon was the first one that we, grandpa and granddaughter, took. Now look at this magic herb, it's called Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone."

Dugu Bo pointed to a white, exquisite flower for Dugu Yan, which looked as pure and immaculate as a blue lotus.

"It nourishes tendons and bones, and promotes the flow of Qi through the eight extraordinary meridians. It's also good for the skin. Moreover, Xiao Yi wants to absorb the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, and the Narcissus Jade Bone and Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum complement each other perfectly. Besides, doesn't Grandpa remember that you like Xiao Yi? After eating the Narcissus Jade Bone, the two of you might even develop a martial soul fusion skill."

However, Yan Yan, you must first absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to complete your martial soul evolution, and then absorb the Narcissus Jade Bone in half a year.

Dugu Bo wanted to matchmake Xiao Yi and Dugu Yan. Through the six months that the three of them spent together, he witnessed Xiao Yi's initial indifference and his current open and honest communication. Dugu Yan's gaze towards Xiao Yi was almost drooling. At first, Dugu Bo was furious, feeling that his little darling had become ungrateful and had started to side with outsiders. However, after thinking about how young she was, how talented she was, and how good her character was, he simply let it go.

Moreover, judging from Xiao Yi's attitude today, it seems that he is also somewhat interested in Dugu Yan. Why not just play matchmaker?

"Ah! Grandpa, what are you saying!" Dugu Yan blushed upon hearing Dugu Bo's words and dared not look at Xiao Yi.

"Why is Yan Yan blushing? Could it be that Grandpa remembered wrong?" Dugu Bo teased when he saw Dugu Yan blushing.

"I hate you, Grandpa! If you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore!" Dugu Yan said, grabbing Dugu Bo's arm and acting coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa won't say anymore." Seeing that Dugu Yan was getting anxious, Dugu Bo decided to stop while he was ahead.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi knew that Dugu Bo wanted to bring the two of them together. Over the course of six months, Xiao Yi discovered that the two got along very well. Moreover, Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo treated him very well, and he also realized that he had developed feelings for Dugu Yan.

"Alright, alright, it's time for us to absorb the immortal herbs," Dugu Bo said to the two of them after joking.

Then Dugu Bo picked the golden melon from the earth and handed it to Dugu Yan.

Yan Yan, this earthworm melon is just like any other melon; you only need to eat the flesh inside. After eating, sit cross-legged on the spot to digest it.

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, split open the earth dragon golden melon and ate it. Dugu Yan did the same. After taking a bite, she felt a rich energy enter her body. She immediately sped up her eating speed, not caring about whether she was a girl or not.

Xiao Yi then picked the rare and precious chrysanthemum.

The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is a large chrysanthemum with a beautiful purple color. Strangely, each petal looks fluffy and adorable. The whole chrysanthemum is a single, unified flower, yet it does not emit any fragrance. The central stamen rises more than half a foot above the petals, and the tip of the stamen shines with a faint golden light.

Xiao Yi ate the flower stamen first, then the petals. After the medicine took effect, he sat cross-legged and refined it.

The three of them sat cross-legged separately, absorbing the divine herbs. Xiao Yi's situation was quite stable.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's martial souls have changed a lot, and both the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent are absorbing the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorous Serpent King has ever-changing emerald green scales. The scales turn into spikes, and the emerald spikes turn golden, giving the serpent's overall body a bluish-gold color.

The head of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King has undergone the most significant changes. Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent King is his martial soul, which evolved independently and is the king of all snakes. It has a suppressive effect on most snakes. This time, there are several bulges on the snake's head, as if several heads are about to pop out at any moment.
