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

Chapter 26 Detoxification and the Selection of Immortal Herbs

Dugu Bo vowed that he must protect Jiang Li. Not only would Jiang Li help their family detoxify, but he would also enhance his and his granddaughter's strength. Most importantly, Jiang Li would become his disciple. He was determined to protect him.

Then Dugu Bo put the complete list of rare and exotic herbs into his soul tool and rushed towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well at full speed.

Eyes of Ice and Fire

Jiang Li and Dugu Yan were still discussing poisons. Jiang Li had studied medicine for two lifetimes, so he was naturally familiar with poisons, since there's a saying that medicine and poisons are inseparable.

Although Dugu Yan didn't study poison very hard, she had still learned about it and could answer quite a few questions. What surprised Jiang Li the most was that Dugu Bo knew how to use mixed poisons.

However, Dugu Bo called it "fusion snake venom," which means using multiple toxins together with the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake King. Isn't this the same as mixing venoms? It's likely that Dugu Bo didn't know the term "mixing venoms," so he called it "fusion snake venom."

I knew it! How could Dugu Bo, who had been involved with drugs for so many years, not know how to use mixed drugs? However, Dugu Bo was doing it more for self-preservation and didn't have time to study drugs too much. His main goal was to deal with the toxins inherited from his family.

However, it won't be long before the Dugu family says goodbye to their hereditary illness. Dugu Bo has already borrowed books on rare herbs and should be back soon.

As for dealing with the toxins, first use the Fragrant Silk to neutralize them, then let Dugu Bo concentrate the poison pill, and then he can eat the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Dugu Yan, because her level is still low, can eat the Earth Dragon Golden Melon directly after soaking in the medicinal bath.

Half an hour later, Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Upon entering, Dugu Bo saw the two chatting happily. To be precise, they were discussing knowledge about cultivation, with Jiang Li doing most of the talking and Dugu Yan listening.

"Sigh, Yan Yan, even if I give you a chance, you're still useless," Dugu Bo thought to himself as he watched the two of them talking about cultivation.

Then, Dugu Bo coughed twice to acknowledge his presence: "Cough cough."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's cough, Jiang Li and Dugu Yan also stopped talking.

"It seems you managed to borrow it, senior?" Jiang Li said with a smile as he looked at Dugu Bo.

"Yes, we've borrowed it. Let's get started on the preparations without delay," Dugu Bo nodded.

The three then traveled from the small house next to the Yin-Yang Well to the center of the Yin-Yang Well.

Upon arriving at the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Jiang Li pointed to the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb and said to Dugu Bo, "Senior, if you want to detoxify, you first need to remove this, then neutralize the toxins in your body and condense them on your dantian before you can consume the immortal herb."

Jiang Li explained the next steps, and Dugu Bo also knew that the final stage of the detoxification process was to evolve the martial soul, making good use of the immortal herbs to evolve the martial soul, so that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul would be retired from the stage of history.

Following the instructions in the Complete Book of Rare and Exotic Herbs, Dugu Bo plucked the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, handed the book to Jiang Li, and then began to condense the poison pill.

In the area where Dugu Bo was condensing poison pills, Jiang Li strolled among the immortal herbs while flipping through the pages.

Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan were incredibly lucky; two of their Earth Dragon Golden Melons had just ripened. So why didn't Tang San give them the Earth Dragon Golden Melons? Did he not recognize them, or did he simply not want to?

To be honest, Tang San was really greedy. He took all the herbs from the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? Jiang Li saw that there were at least a dozen kinds of immortal herbs, and even more inferior ones. Jiang Li just laughed at how Tang San took them all.

For Jiang Li, it's enough for him to use it and for his friends to use it; there's no need to take it all. Since Jiang Li doesn't want too many attributes and only needs to replenish his source, there are only two kinds of immortal herbs suitable for him.

The Black Jade Divine Bamboo enhances the toughness of attack weapons and the Longing Dew enhances mental strength.

Actually, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum would also work, but its compatibility with the Moyu Divine Bamboo is a bit lacking, which led him to abandon this plan.

But is it really okay for one person to take so much? I checked the Immortal Herb Record, and it doesn't seem to say that these things will conflict.

Half a day later, Dugu Bo completed the condensation of the poison pill.

Dugu Bo's once lush green hair has turned gray again, and the wrinkles on his face have also decreased significantly. He looks twenty years younger than his previous appearance of being in his seventies.

Because of the nascent poison pill and the neutralizing effect of the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, Dugu Bo almost directly condensed all the poison, and his soul power reached level ninety-three.

"Don't rush, it's not over yet. You still need to take a medicinal bath to relieve the hidden injuries in your bodies," Jiang Li said calmly.

Dugu Bo thought about it and agreed. After being eroded by toxins for so many years, it was impossible for his body not to have any hidden injuries. If he took the immortal herb now, he might be affected by its energy. So he quickly prepared two tubs of medicinal bath.

They put all sorts of top-quality herbs in it.

Jiang Li thought that what he was giving to his granddaughter must be the best. After looking at it for a while, he realized that this tub of medicinal bath was a rare and precious treasure. If a person soaked in it, it would remove impurities from the body, eliminate hidden injuries, clear the meridians, enhance soul power, and even have beauty and skin care effects.

No wonder he's such a doting granddaughter; he's really willing to spend a fortune. This tub of medicinal bath contains at least thirty herbs, two of which are even second-rate celestial herbs.

Half a day later, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan finished eliminating the hidden injuries on their bodies one after the other.

Dugu Yan's skin became flawless, truly fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs—she was a real feast for the eyes!

After Dugu Bo's hidden injuries were healed, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his black hair made him look like a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Hahaha, I have never felt so refreshed! The residual poison in my body has finally been eliminated. I feel reborn."

Dugu Bo felt lightness in his body, and his whole body felt refreshed.

"Wow, Grandpa, you really look younger! Grandpa was this handsome when you were young! It seems my natural beauty is hereditary."

Dugu Yan grabbed Dugu Bo's hand and shook it, her head tilted back at a 45-degree angle, looking as adorable as a proud little bird.

"Ah, come with Grandpa, Yan Yan, let's go see the magic herb that's right for you. Earth Dragon Golden Melon was the first one that we, Grandpa and Grandma, took. Now look at this magic herb, it's called Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone."

Dugu Bo pointed to a white, exquisite flower for Dugu Yan, which looked as pure and immaculate as a blue lotus.

It nourishes tendons and bones, and promotes the flow of Qi through the eight extraordinary meridians. It is also beneficial to the skin.

"However, Yan Yan, you need to absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon first to complete your martial soul evolution, and then absorb the Narcissus Jade Bone in half a year. Jiang Li, you only need to absorb the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, since you only need to replenish your origin."

Dugu Bo pointed to several kinds of immortal herbs and said to his granddaughter and future apprentice, "The Complete Book of Rare and Exotic Herbs covers the conflicts between immortal herbs and how long it takes to take them again."

After the introductions, Dugu Bo picked two earth dragon golden gourds and a black jade divine bamboo, and handed them to Dugu Yan and Jiang Li.

"Yanyan, just eat the flesh inside this Earth Dragon Golden Melon like you would any other melon. After you finish eating, sit cross-legged and digest it. Jiang Li, hold the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo in your hand and absorb it. Release your Martial Soul with your right hand so that the medicinal effects are absorbed into your body and Martial Soul."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, split open the golden melon and ate the flesh inside. Dugu Yan followed her grandfather's example and took a bite. She felt a rich energy enter her body and immediately sped up her eating speed, not caring about how unseemly she was eating.

Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the spot, absorbing the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, holding the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo in his left hand and releasing the Blue Silver Grass with his right hand.

P.S.: I'll revise it later; my mind is a mess today.
