In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 48 Tang San, from this day forward, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!

"Alright." Di Tian interjected, continuing with the words Zhu Wu had just conveyed through telepathic communication while standing on his shoulder: "Tian'er needs to wait until he breaks through to the Soul Venerable realm before going out to train. It's too early for that now. I brought him here today to enter the Sacred Pool for purification."

"I'm the first person in the sect's history to receive this honor," Zhu Wu interjected with a smile.

"The Sacred Pool?" Dugu Bo looked puzzled, then his eyes widened. "Are we going to jump into that pool?"

"That's right," Zhu Wu said with a smile. "Only our Illusionary Beast Sect has the means to allow people to enter the Sacred Pool unharmed to cleanse their bodies. Of course, the price is extremely high."

"So, not everyone has the chance to enjoy it. Hehe, only top geniuses like me can."

Dugu Bo was astonished by how powerful it was; even he dared not touch the water in that hot spring.

And this Beast Sect actually has a way to make people jump in and take a bath!

"My Beast Sect has been in seclusion for many years and doesn't know much about the outside world," Di Tian continued. "Otherwise, I certainly wouldn't have spared you today. Of course, I can't trust you right now either. So, for now, I can only treat the symptoms of the poison in your body."

"Understood!" Dugu Blog said angrily.

If it were him, he wouldn't trust them immediately either. Leaving aside the fact that they'd trespassed on his own turf, it was their first meeting, wasn't it?

Di Tian nodded and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the poison in your body should originate from your martial soul. It's possible that the primordial poison produced by your martial soul has infected your physical body, or perhaps you inhaled the poison along with the spirit ring you absorbed in the past."

"You can tell just by looking at it?" Dugu Bo was greatly shocked.

"Of course, none of that matters," Di Tian added. "The solution is simple: use medicine to remove the toxins, and then find a carrier that can hold the toxins in the body to transfer them. And the most suitable carrier is undoubtedly a soul bone."

"Firstly, soul bones are inanimate objects and cannot be poisoned. Secondly, soul bones can be absorbed into the body, making it convenient to transfer toxins."

"However, precisely because the soul bone is an inanimate object, there must be an upper limit to the amount it can bear."

"Once it exceeds the limit, it will not be a detoxification, but an instant detonation of all the accumulated toxins within the soul bone."

"At that time, you will surely die!"

Damn, this is practically like strapping a timed poison bomb to his body. Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine.

As a master of poisons, he naturally understood the advantages and risks of this method.

"Don't worry, even if it's just a thousand-year-old soul bone, it will definitely help you through the transition period for a few years," Di Tian continued. "However, I will not prepare a soul bone for you, and you are not qualified to receive this reward in your current state."

"So you have to figure it out yourself."

"As for medicines that remove toxins, there are suitable herbs in this herb garden that can be used to prepare them."

"Now, you can go out and prepare the soul bone."

"Senior, look, my granddaughter." Dugu Bo said hurriedly.

"It's just a few doses of detoxifying medicine. I'm too lazy to bother with it. I'll just finish it all at once," Di Tian said indifferently.

"Thank you, senior." Dugu Bo quickly expressed his gratitude, asked no further questions, and turned to leave without looking back.

No matter how precious natural treasures are, they are never as important as one's life and fortune.

"Zhu Wu, is your body still holding up?" Di Tian asked, turning his head as he watched Dugu Bo leave.

Zhu Wu shook his head. "It's alright. Although the polar energy around here is strong, it's still a bit weaker than the life-giving metal."

"Di Tian, ​​go down and investigate the situation of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's dragon soul."

"As for me, I will jump into this spring to absorb the medicinal power, which will probably take some time, so there's no need to keep an eye on me."

"Okay." Di Tian nodded. He would simultaneously consume the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable to temper his body with ice and fire, and jump into the spring to accelerate the absorption of the medicinal power. Zhu Wu had already told him this through mental transmission. This would greatly enhance his physical strength and increase his resistance to both ice and fire attributes, which would indeed be of great help to Zhu Wu in his upcoming cultivation of the mental power cultivation method.

Without delay, it took off straight towards the confluence of the springs and plunged into them.

With his true dragon form, he could easily penetrate deep into the confluence.

"Fortunately, the original text describes it clearly enough, and thanks to absorbing the Life Gold, I've remembered everything. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to pick these immortal herbs that are clearly described in the original text." Zhu Wu sighed inwardly, thinking as he strode forward.

"As for the others, there's the King of Ten Thousand Demons."

Hmph, Tang San, from this day forward, the roles of offense and defense between us have reversed… A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

He quickly walked to the front of the octagonal ice grass, squatted down, and took out a dagger from his soul tool.

To harvest the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, one needs metal or iron objects, while the Fiery Apricot Vegetable requires jade.

In the original story, Tang San used the Xuan Yu Hand as a substitute. Since he did not have the Xuan Yu Hand, he went to Notting City to buy a pair of jade scissors before going to the Star Dou Great Forest for training.

If I can't afford the expensive ones, can't I have something cheaper? As long as it's jade, what more could I ask for!

The next second, he summoned Little White and said generously, "Little White, go eat whichever one you think will provide the biggest boost."

"On the condition that what you eat doesn't conflict with the two plants I'm going to eat later." He added, pointing to the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable.

Although he doesn't understand pharmacology, Xiaobai has the talent to sense rare and precious herbs.

He believed that Xiaobai could distinguish them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken him to specifically find herbs that nourish qi and blood.

"As for the other things I can still eat, or things you can eat, we can choose them together later, and take what we want to take with us."

Little White nodded, transformed into a hummingbird, circled the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass once, and then flew to hover above the Fiery Apricot Vegetable. Afterward, it flew elsewhere and examined all the herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Finally, it stopped next to a blood-red dragon fungus.

"The Nine-Grade Dragon Fungus mentioned in the original work?" Zhu Wu immediately guessed.

Herbs prefixed with "Nine Grades" are generally extraordinary. For example, ginseng is explicitly mentioned in the original text as a ten-thousand-year-old first-grade herb, and a ninth-grade super ginseng king can be considered a top-grade immortal herb. This ninth-grade dragon fungus, in his opinion, is probably no less impressive. Furthermore, it is extremely beneficial for enhancing the bloodline of dragons. Otherwise, Xiaobai would never have chosen this ninth-grade dragon fungus instead of other ten-thousand-year-old ginseng kings.

So why did Tang San give the Nine Treasures Purple Ganoderma to Yu Xiaogang instead of Yu Xiaogang in the original story? Was it because he didn't know its specific effects? Or was he afraid that Yu Xiaogang couldn't handle it?

While he was lost in thought, Little White had already returned to its original form and landed on the crimson Ganoderma lucidum crown, frantically devouring it.

Zhu Wu waited quietly until only a small section of the blood fungus remained flat on the ground, at which point Xiao Bai transformed back into a hummingbird.

"Chirp" occasionally burped in the air, bouncing up and down like someone who was drunk.

"The medicine seems quite potent," Zhu Wu smiled.

"Little White, let's go back."

"Chirp." Little White looked up and responded, then plunged into Zhu Wu's chest and disappeared.

Then Zhu Wu felt a warm sensation rising in his chest, his blood was flowing faster, and his heartbeat began to quicken.
