Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 164 is being added, added, and added again—a frantic update! (Please subscribe!!!)

"I wonder what kind of fairy herb the teacher prepared for me."

Xu Yuan looked at the exquisite jade box in front of him with great anticipation.

This was just given to him by Yunming, who said it was a magical herb prepared for him to use to strengthen his foundation.

Calling it a miraculous herb is actually a bit of an exaggeration.

Even if it is a celestial herb, it should be a rare and precious natural treasure of the corresponding type with sufficient age. Yun Ming had told Xu Yuan in advance that this was just a rare and precious natural treasure of the same type as a celestial herb that was about five thousand years old. Its effects would be greatly reduced. However, the advantage was that it could be eaten together with other immature celestial herbs, because its medicinal effects had not yet reached the level of true creation and were not overly prominent.

"Is this... an eight-petaled fairy orchid?"

When Xu Yuan opened the jade box, he saw a pure white orchid inside, which gave people a sense of purity and otherworldliness.

He searched his memory and found its origin.

The Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid is the most gentle and mellow among immortal herbs. It is easy to absorb but difficult to digest, and its medicinal properties are extremely long-lasting. It can strengthen the body's foundation, remove impurities, and compensate for the slow cultivation of certain martial spirits.

Of course, this is the effect of an eight-petaled fairy orchid at the level of a fairy herb. Those that do not reach the level of a fairy herb, such as the fairy orchid in Xu Yuan's hand that is only five thousand years old, only have three petals, and each petal is still very immature and obviously not mature.

Its effects are much worse; at least it cannot compensate for the slow progress of martial spirit cultivation, because its effects cannot last for several years or even ten or twenty years.

However, these three-petaled fairy orchids are definitely the best choice to make up for Xu Yuan's current martial soul origin. At the same time, their effect of removing impurities can further consolidate the purity of Xu Yuan's two martial souls after splitting.

Xu Yuan closed the jade box but did not take the medicine immediately.

I will take it during my secluded cultivation tonight, so that I can perfectly refine it and achieve the greatest effect.

He opened another jade box, which was of slightly lower quality, but not by much. Inside, he saw three perfectly round pills.

"Pills?"

Xu Yuan was taken aback. What era is this? There are still elixirs?

If rare and precious materials are processed and transformed into reagents or even medicinal baths, they are more commonly found than elixirs.

Of course, most of them are processed into food ingredients.

In this day and age, Soul Masters not only fully utilize the medicinal properties of rare and precious herbs, but also satisfy their appetites, leading to a remarkable development in the research of medicinal cuisine.

It can be said that a medicinal cuisine chef may not be as good as the four secondary professions, but their social status is not low. They also have their own guilds, which are distributed not only throughout all cities, but also in large cities on the Douluo Continent and the two smaller continents.

Next to the three pills was a small note. Xu Yuan took it out and read it, and understood what it meant.

"The Peiyuan Pill is an improved product of the previous alchemy method. It strengthens the foundation and nourishes the vital energy. Its medicinal effect is long-lasting. One pill can last for half a year. Each pill contains dozens of precious natural materials. After being processed by technology, it is then melted down using the alchemy method and nourished with soul power to maximize its medicinal effect."

Xu Yuan couldn't understand what came next; these were some of the few areas he hadn't ventured into.

He also had no intention of getting involved in alchemy.

In summary, the effect of three Peiyuan Pills is to strengthen the body's foundation and nourish its vital energy; one pill can last for half a year.

"And this three-petaled fairy orchid, the medicinal effects may not last for a few years or a decade, but it will probably take half a year to be fully digested, so these alone will take me two years."

Xu Yuan himself also possessed a similar quality Black Jade Divine Bamboo.

this.

Which one should we use first?

"While the origin is not yet fully stable, take the Three-Petaled Immortal Orchid and the Black Jade Divine Bamboo at the same time to purify the two martial souls and strengthen the Heavenly Origin Brush. As for the Nourishing Origin Pill, it will be used to consolidate the origin later."

Xu Yuan thought about it and concluded that they could probably be taken at the same time.

Although they can all reach the level of immortal herbs, they are ultimately only at the thousand-year level. Even the three-petaled immortal orchid given by Yun Ming is only five thousand years old, and the black jade divine bamboo is only one thousand years old.

It shouldn't be too much for them to digest.

Xu Yuan still believed in himself.

The most important thing is that he believes in his own "devouring heaven and earth" technique.

Nowadays, the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique is no longer just a technique to increase one's appetite. With the strength of his blood and qi, and the fact that the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear has completely transformed into his main martial soul, using blood and qi as his main body, his digestion and appetite have caught up.

The greatest benefit of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique for Xu Yuan now is that it allows him to digest the food and rare treasures he eats more thoroughly and quickly.

At night, Xu Yuan took out two quasi-immortal herbs and first put the three-petaled immortal orchid directly into his mouth and chewed it.

Sweet and fragrant.

It tastes pretty good.

After chewing and swallowing, a rich medicinal power circulates throughout the body.

Xu Yuan could sense that the medicinal power seemed to have its own ideas, not wasting too much time in his meridians, but quickly settling down and affecting his martial spirit from a deep level.

This refining process took three hours.

Three hours later, Xu Yuan activated the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique and was surprised to find that the three-petaled Immortal Orchid was still highly potent, leaving a large amount of residue in his body.

"It really takes time to work its magic."

However, the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique also rapidly achieves the process of purifying the Martial Soul.

"Continue taking the Black Jade Divine Bamboo."

Xu Yuan took out the thousand-year-old black jade bamboo he had obtained during the inner court assessment. He first pried open the bamboo section, drank the nectar inside, and while circulating his soul power to refine this power, he chewed and swallowed the remaining bamboo section piece by piece.

Although the most effective part of this Jade Bamboo is the nectar inside its nodes, the nodes themselves also possess many mysteries.

Fortunately, he possessed the "Eating Heaven and Earth Technique," and bamboo itself was edible, so he wasn't worried about indigestion.

By the time the two near-immortal herbs were refined, it was already the early morning of the next day.

Xu Yuan stretched.

He had a faint smile on his face.

Yesterday was a major upgrade. He split his martial soul and truly possessed the Three Lives Martial Soul. He received a gift from the Golden Ancient Tree's Will Tree Elder. Jue's true body merged with the Gold of Life and broke through ten thousand years, granting him a fourth soul skill.

He refined two more near-immortal herbs last night, and he doesn't feel any damage to his essence at all.

This time, the martial soul split did not cause any damage to its essence. To put it more vividly, it was like cutting an opening and stuffing in more essence.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, he unleashed the Heavenly Origin Brush.

At this moment, the Tianyuan Brush has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.

When Xu Yuan first awakened his martial soul, his Heavenly Origin Brush was a black and white calligraphy brush. Later, as he fused with the Five Elements Spear Spirit, the brush handle itself became more and more metallic.

Now that the two forms have separated, it has regained its original woody texture, while the black and white background is interspersed with blue stripes, and the brush hairs on the tip are rendered with the colors of the five elements.
