Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 52 Getting to Know Each Other

Since acquiring the microscope, Dugu Bo has spent all his free time studying the effects of various toxins on the human body, to the point of neglecting to eat and sleep.

"No wonder the original story said that a true martial soul can only unleash its full potential after experiencing life-or-death situations. This near-death experience has improved my physical abilities so much!"

Li Fei's body has also fully recovered. After recovering, he found that his body was much stronger and showed signs of a second awakening. Even his Ren and Du meridians were mostly opened up due to the pressure of this incident.

"But I never want to go through that again. I'd rather find a gentler way to become stronger!"

Still shaken by the experience, Li Fei couldn't forget the feeling of being on the verge of death and forced to watch helplessly. So he went to the place where the old monster was conducting his research.

"Old monster, why were you so furious when you heard I came from the Spirit Hall?!" Li Fei asked curiously. He wanted to know the extent of Dugu Bo's enmity with the Spirit Hall to see if it could be eased, and he also wanted to know his reasons for attacking him.

"Actually, it's nothing! Six years ago, the Spirit Hall saw that I had broken through to the Title Douluo level, so they sent Chrysanthemum Pass to recruit me. I naturally yearn for freedom and don't want to be bound, so I refused. Then the two of us got into a fight, and I was seriously injured. I was healing in this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which is why I missed the time when Yan'er's father's poison flared up, and I couldn't get back in time to save my son." At the end, Dugu Bo's eyes revealed sadness and regret: "Kid, you said you were from the Spirit Hall. I thought you still wanted to recruit me and restrict my freedom, and of course, I was also filled with hatred. So when I heard about the Spirit Hall, I couldn't control myself. I only saved you because you said you could cure Yan'er's poison!"

"I see!" Li Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief. This grudge was neither too big nor too small, it was just difficult to resolve. If all else failed, he could just wait until the old monster was strong enough to fight Chrysanthemum Douluo again.

"By the way, you said you wanted to make a deal with me, what exactly is the deal?!" Dugu Bo put down the microscope and asked curiously.

"What I want to trade with you is just the immortal herb inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. I originally wanted to exchange it for the method of healing you, but now, I'll give your granddaughter a great gift instead!" Li Fei said with a smile.

"No need! Take whatever herbs you want from here! Just don't damage the place!" Dugu Bo said decisively. He had seen Li Fei examining some herbs in a book recently, and meeting Li Fei's questioning gaze, he explained, "Leaving aside the treatment methods, this microscope you made for me is more than enough. With it, I can not only improve my poison skills by several levels, but also gain a deeper understanding of medicine. This microscope is the best treasure I can have!"

"Are you really not going to listen?! This amazing gift could definitely help your granddaughter break through to the Title Douluo level in the future, don't you care?!" Li Fei retorted.

"What did you say?! A Title Douluo?!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock, then grabbed Li Fei's shoulder and asked, "What kind of gift is it?!"

"Old monster, come with me!"

Li Fei smiled confidently and led Dugu Bo to a somewhat desolate place. He then gently but firmly dug a couple of times with his hands, and a crystal-clear, blood-red ginseng appeared there. The ginseng was shaped like a dragon, as if it instinctively sensed danger and wanted to run away, but Li Fei firmly grabbed it in his hand.

"Old monster, this is a 30,000-year-old Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng imbued with dragon energy. With your understanding of pharmacology, if you process it into a mild medicine for your granddaughter, it should allow her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul to evolve, perhaps even into a Poison Dragon Martial Soul, and enhance her potential, making her a possible Title Douluo!"

Li Fei found this Blood Dragon Ginseng using his perception skills. Fortunately, it grew inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. If it had grown naturally in the outside world, it would have already developed its intelligence and would have been difficult to catch!

"You brat, this is the big gift you were talking about? You're giving me stuff from my territory!" Dugu Bo said, feigning anger.

"If I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know either, would you?!" Li Fei smiled awkwardly, then led Dugu Bo to another location. In the distance stood a snow-white immortal herb. The herb was a translucent white, each leaf seemingly dripping with water, long and curved, resembling a swan's neck: "This is the Crimson Swan's Kiss, an immortal herb that can multiply any deadly poison a thousandfold. If you can obtain it, your combat power should increase several times over without a problem!"

"However, this immortal herb has a unique characteristic: once touched, any toxin will multiply to the point where it can completely devour a human body. Old monster, your entire body is poisonous; it is both a divine object and a poison to you. A slight mistake and you will be instantly poisoned to death!"

"Therefore, you should never touch this miraculous herb unless you are absolutely certain."

Li Fei's unusually solemn and serious expression calmed down Dugu Bo, who had been somewhat excited. He understood that Li Fei wouldn't speak without reason; otherwise, he wouldn't be so serious.

Although the Crimson Swan Kiss is powerful and very suitable for Dugu Bo, it is also extremely dangerous. In the original novel, Tang San, who possessed the Mysterious Jade Hand, was very careful when picking this immortal herb and did not give it to Dugu Bo, probably because he was afraid that Dugu Bo would be poisoned to death.

But once Dugu Bo is able to utilize this immortal herb, he will definitely become the first poison-attribute Limit Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent.

"Alright! Kid, I got it!"

Dugu Bo nodded seriously, but in his heart he was thinking about how to obtain this immortal herb. After hearing Li Fei's explanation, he understood that the Crimson Swan Kiss was very suitable for him.

"Also, here, take this. You can take any of the medicinal herbs here that you need!"

He pulled a cloth bag from his person and threw it to Li Fei, then hurriedly flew away.

"Could this be a magical pouch capable of holding living creatures? I never expected Dugu Bo to give me this!"

Looking at the cloth bag in his hand, Li Fei was quite surprised. This kind of soul tool that can hold living creatures is extremely precious. There is probably only one of its kind on the entire continent. Dugu Bo actually gave it to him without hesitation. It seems that he really considers him a friend.

Li Fei began to think about which immortal herbs were suitable for him and his family. He planned to leave the rest to Dugu Bo. The first thing that came to mind for Li Fei was the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the Liehuo Xingjiaoshu that grew on the Yiyan, and the Bajiao Xuanbing Grass.

After thinking things through with his parents, Li Fan, and Qian Renxue, Li Fei didn't immediately take the immortal herb and leave. Instead, he chose to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The cultivation effect here was so good that he planned to cultivate until he reached level fifty before leaving.

As a new author, this is my first book, so there are many shortcomings and I haven't considered everything thoroughly. There are also quite a few parts that are just my own personal enjoyment. I hope you will forgive me.

We will work hard to make corrections and make the plot more rigorous and thoughtful, so as not to disappoint everyone.

Also, thank you all for your monthly ticket donations.

I still want to keep reading, and please vote with monthly tickets, especially keeping reading, which is very important for a new book.
