In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 142 Detoxification and Transformation

Before long, Jinlin, with mud all over its claws, ran to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to wash its hands, while Wang Zhao squatted down and examined what Jinlin had dug out.

It was a lotus flower, though deeply buried in the mud, it was spotless, its petals eternally white, even crystalline, as if some strange power kept it isolated from the filth of the world. Several translucent red lines stood beneath the lotus, and a bright flame emanated from its core, sacred and awe-inspiring, lingering for a long time. However, when Wang Zhao reached out to touch it, he felt no warmth at all.

Holy Flower Earth Core Lotus!

It was actually this!

Wang Zhao was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

The Sacred Lotus of the Earth's Core is a celestial herb. As far as he knows, it can only be found deep within the Earth's core. However, considering the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the appearance of the Sacred Lotus of the Earth's Core is not surprising.

The Holy Lotus, though residing in the Netherworld, is born with holy light and burns with a brilliant flame, making it a very suitable immortal herb for Xiaoxue.

Now, Wang Zhao was relieved of the previous worry about which immortal herb to give Qian Renxue.

After placing the Sacred Lotus in the Earth's Core once more, Wang Zhao went around picking some rare and exotic herbs, among which was a Grade Nine Dragon Fungus.

Since the goal is to transform the Dugu family, it's necessary to go all the way and provide them with the best. With this in mind, even though they already have two immortal herbs, Wang Zhao wouldn't be stingy with a ninth-grade dragon mushroom that's almost at the immortal level. It's a fitting reward for Dugu Bo, this fat sheep who's practically bald from all the work.

Afterwards, Wang Zhao began to refine medicine.

Dan Wang Xiao Zhao is now online!

……

The next day, when Dugu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan, Wang Zhao was already sitting leisurely waiting.

"Grand Tutor Wang, how is it?"

Dugu Bo asked this question as soon as he arrived.

Wang Zhao smiled and nodded.

"The initial antidote has been prepared. Miss Dugu Yan's condition is not serious, so I suggest we let her try it first."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then nodded.

It wasn't that he didn't want to test the medicine on his precious granddaughter first, but rather that he didn't fully trust Wang Zhao yet. With Wang Zhao's ability to identify herbs, he might be able to combine the rare and exotic herbs of this land of ice and fire to create a poison pill that could restrain him. He had to be on guard.

Then, a jade bottle appeared in Wang Zhao's hand. He opened the bottle and poured out two pills, one white and one blood red.

Wang Zhao first picked up the white pill, then pointed to another blood-red pill and said:

"This is the antidote pill, just take it directly. The other one is the Dragon Blood Floating Splendor Pill, which I developed specifically for the Azure Scale Serpent Dragon bloodline and the poisonous light characteristics of the Azure Scale Golden-Eyed Flood Dragon. It is also a preliminary one and can be used in conjunction with the antidote pill to promote the transformation of the martial soul."

As soon as Wang Zhao finished speaking, Dugu Bo couldn't help but lean closer to examine the two pills in Wang Zhao's hand, especially the Dragon Blood Floating Splendor Pill. After examining them for a while, Dugu Bo didn't say anything more and simply pulled his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, in front of him.

Immediately, at the instruction of her grandfather Dugu Bo and under the guidance of Wang Zhao, Dugu Yan swallowed the two pills one after the other. Then she closed her eyes, sat down cross-legged, and began to calmly feel the effects of the medicine on her body and the subtle changes in her martial spirit.

A short while later, Dugu Yan opened her eyes again and met her grandfather's slightly surprised and delighted gaze. She couldn't help but ask:

"Grandpa, what's wrong with me?"

"you……"

Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but remained silent for a moment. He then took out a mirror from his storage soul tool, the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.

Dugu Yan instinctively met his gaze, her expression instantly turning to surprise.

In the mirror, her originally purple hair had become much lighter, and the faint green in her eyes had turned more black, with even a few golden specks visible. Her face hadn't changed much, but it looked much rosier, probably due to the effects of the medicine.

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Yan noticed the change in her cultivation level; her current soul power level was actually level 27!

It directly boosted her soul power by one level, which saved her several months of cultivation time.

The way Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan looked at Wang Zhao immediately changed.

Wang Zhao maintained a smile throughout, then took out two pills: one was the Dragon Blood Floating Splendor Pill, and the other was a relatively larger, slightly different-colored antidote pill.

After all, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's situations are different, so medicine needs to be prescribed according to their respective conditions.

Without hesitation, Dugu Bo quickly took the two pills under Wang Zhao's guidance. Although his condition did not change as dramatically as Dugu Yan's, he could still see some improvement in his symptoms. Dugu Bo himself had a clearer understanding of his physical condition and realized that the pills Wang Zhao gave him were extraordinary. He also realized that the transformation of his martial soul, the Azure Scale Golden Dragon, that Wang Zhao had mentioned earlier might actually be possible!

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's gaze towards Wang Zhao became unusually strange, as if...

A lecherous man met a stunningly beautiful woman.

hiss~

Wang Zhao subconsciously took a half step back.

"Senior Dugu, I don't have that kind of fetish."

"..."

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly let out a sinister smile, leaned close to Wang Zhao's ear, and whispered:

"You don't have that kind of fetish? Then your orientation is normal, right? What do you think of my granddaughter, Yanyan? I can help..."

"Stop."

Wang Zhao leaned back slightly.

"Miss Dugu Yan is still young. Senior, you can't make decisions for her on your own. That's not how a good grandfather should act."

"this……"

Wang Zhao's words were a heavy blow to Dugu Bo, the granddaughter slave. However, Dugu Bo was shrewd and experienced, and quickly retorted:

"What if Yan Yan herself develops feelings for you in the future?"

"...You can't force matters of the heart."

Wang Zhao only said.

Dugu Bo sighed with a hint of regret, but ultimately said nothing more.

……

Soon, a month passed quickly, and the treatment and rehabilitation process for Grandpa Dugu and his grandson was more than halfway complete, with only the final step remaining.

Wang Zhao held the Primordial Immortal Herb and the Star Luo Spirit Pearl in his hands, while opposite him were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, whose appearances had changed drastically.

"This is?"

Dugu Yan, who had become quite familiar with Wang Zhao over the past month, asked in confusion.

"A herb that can greatly improve a Soul Master's aptitude."

Wang Zhao didn't explain much and quickly handed the Hunyuan Immortal Herb and the Star Luo Spirit Pearl to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo respectively. Dugu Yan accepted them without hesitation, while Dugu Bo, having been accidentally injured by the Snow Swan's kiss in the past, was still somewhat cautious when faced with the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, which looked just like the Snow Swan's kiss. However, considering the changes he had undergone under the influence of the pills given to him by Wang Zhao over the past month, he ultimately chose to trust and accept it.
