Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 23 The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire (Part Two)

Although Jiang Li recognized the immortal herb, he didn't know how to harvest it. So he shook his head and sighed, "Senior, there are three ways to help you detoxify, divided into three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior."

"Those three?" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Jiang Li to have three methods.

"The first method involves two immortal herbs at the center of the spring, named the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom." Jiang Li pointed to the two immortal herbs at the center of the spring and continued, "Eating both of these together and then jumping into the spring can make you immune to all poisons, but I don't recommend you take them."

Why?

"Because poison is your specialty. Your Majesty, all your strength comes from poison. Your deadly poison is a deterrent, which makes no one dare to truly provoke you. Because you can defeat them until only Title Douluo remain."

Jiang Li's words made Dugu Bo secretly happy. Indeed, all of Dugu Bo's strength came from poison. He could not defeat most of the titled Douluo of the same level, but he could defeat them until only titled Douluo remained.

"Go on."

"The second option is for me to take these two immortal herbs, using my blood as a medicinal guide. Senior Dugu should have some pills to suppress the toxins, which can be combined with my blood. However, this is only one of the options."

Secondly, you need to find a vessel. You were poisoned because of the inherent characteristics of your Beast Martial Soul; the poison is absorbed by the body. A venomous snake isn't afraid of poison because it has a venom sac, but you are human, not a snake. Therefore, you need something similar to a venom sac to transfer the toxins.

"You mean the soul bone?" Dugu Bo asked.

"That's right, it's a soul bone, and preferably one of the four limb bones, and it has to be over ten thousand years old, because the capacity of a soul bone is limited, unless it's an external soul bone, because external soul bones can evolve."

"However, I still don't recommend you use this method, because if you do, you won't be able to use the soul bones, and your descendants won't be able to acquire that many soul bones."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo first thought of his Medusa skull, but then decided against it. The capacity of a soul bone is limited, and if he channeled the poison into the skull, the capacity might reach its limit one day, causing the soul bone to crack and killing him.

"Of course, in addition to the Soul Bone, you can also consider condensing a Pill Pearl to gather all your toxins together, thereby achieving complete control over the toxins. From then on, toxins will no longer be an obstacle for you."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. "A pearl? I have one!" Dugu Bo opened his mouth and then spat out a bright green pearl.

"Kid, is this what you're talking about?" Dugu Bo spat out the pill and showed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at the pill in Dugu Bo's hand, his eyes lighting up. "This is it! But why didn't you concentrate the poison here, Senior?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression froze. He said, "This is the elixir that I condensed after the Jade Phosphorous Serpent evolved into the Serpent Queen following the absorption of my ninth spirit ring. You could say that half of my strength is contained in this bead. I never imagined I could condense poison into it."

At this point, Dugu Bo paused, then continued, "Young man, are there any other methods? I can use this method, but my granddaughter doesn't have it."

"Indeed, there is, but senior should consider this carefully, as it concerns the inheritance of martial spirits."

"What method?"

"I wonder if you've ever heard of Martial Soul Evolution, senior?"

"Martial Soul Evolution? You mean we can still evolve our Martial Souls?" Dugu Bo asked excitedly.

It's no wonder Dugu Bo was so excited. You have to know that a martial soul is determined at birth. Although there are cases of martial souls evolving after birth, they all involve obtaining opportunities. Dugu Bo was one of them.

"Yes, senior, it's about martial soul evolution. Snakes are dragon species, and there just happens to be some herbs here that are suitable for your evolution. After consuming them, you will move closer to a dragon-type martial soul. At that time, the Azure Serpent will disappear, so you should think it over carefully," Jiang Li said, pointing to the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo lowered his head and pondered, recalling his experiences over the years: the suffering he had endured because of the Jade Serpent's venom, the grief of a white-haired man burying a black-haired one, and his obedient granddaughter.

"So be it, it's time for the Azure Serpent to disappear," Dugu Bo thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo said, "Let it disappear. This kind of martial spirit harms not only the family but also oneself. It should have been eliminated long ago. Kid, what do you suggest?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li shook his head and said, "Although there is a way, I don't know how to pick them."

"This..." Dugu Bo was a little dumbfounded. He knew the method but didn't know how to pick or process them.

Following that, Jiang Li continued, "However, the Ye family should have books on this subject. After all, as the number one healing-type martial soul on the continent, and considering the drawbacks of their Nine Heart Begonia, they would definitely collect information on rare and precious materials. So we can only rely on Senior Dugu to borrow them."

Jiang Li only remembered how to harvest the Ice and Fire Twin Grasses, but he didn't want to consume them. He only needed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo to replenish his essence and the Autumn Water Dew to enhance his spiritual power. Anything else would only be harmful to him, not beneficial. Too much variety is ultimately not good.

He desperately needed a powerful protector, and Dugu Bo was just such a person. Moreover, Dugu Bo had the intention to take on disciples. Although he currently only had a soul power of level 91, he could break through to level 92 as long as he condensed all the poisons into one.

If Dugu Bo takes the Earth Dragon Golden Melon again, it will evolve his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, granting him the ability to turn the earth dragon around. This will greatly increase Dugu Bo's strength, and he may reach the level of a Super Douluo in just a few years.

The key is to make good use of medicinal herbs, and resources should be quickly transformed into strength.

Dugu Bo sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go find Ye Renxin. You guys stay here."

Afterwards, Dugu Bo turned and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, leaving only Jiang Li and Dugu Yan behind.

After Dugu Bo left, Dugu Yan and Jiang Li stared at each other blankly.

Dugu Yan looked at Jiang Li and pondered for a moment before bowing to him.

"Thank you, Jiang Li. If it weren't for you, my family would have been doomed. I apologize for my previous offense, please forgive me."

Dugu Yan apologized to Jiang Li. Although she was unruly, she knew that she should repay kindness. She had almost put Jiang Li's life in danger by rashly testing him, but Jiang Li did not care and even cured their family of poison. She felt that she was really not a good person.

"No need for apologies. We became friends after our fight. After all, you are Miss Ye's good friend. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Jiang Li, eleven years old. Jiang is the Jiang of Jianghai, and Li is the Li of Libie. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I am a level 23 Great Soul Master."

Jiang Li introduced himself to Dugu Yan and extended one hand. Dugu Yan glanced at him, smiled knowingly, and extended her hand in return. The two then clasped hands.

"Dugu Yan, fourteen years old, Martial Soul: Azure Phosphorous Serpent, Level 28 Battle Soul Master."
