Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Teng's words, Yu Xiaogang's gaze softened, and he also recalled what had happened at Notting Academy.
At that time, Wang Teng was an inconspicuous student who often came to him to borrow books. He was not outstanding and was quite ordinary.
Looking back now, this child has indeed always worked very hard.
"I never imagined that such an ordinary Soul Master could have reached this point."
"Wang Teng, you're very good."
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said to Wang Teng, his sleepiness seeming to have subsided somewhat.
He gestured for Wang Teng to sit down in the chair next to him.
Wang Teng sat down as instructed, and then continued, "Master, there's actually another matter I'd like to ask you for help with..."
Wang Teng feigned hesitation, his tone tinged with embarrassment.
"Just tell me what it is."
Yu Xiaogang asked directly, tapping lightly on the armrest of the sofa.
"I would like to borrow some books from you about herbs, or rather, poisons."
Wang Teng raised his head, looked into Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and waited for his answer.
"Herbal medicine and poison?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned and stopped tapping.
It should be noted that while these two types of books are not top-secret information among various families and forces, they are still considered relatively important knowledge reserves.
Especially when it comes to poisons, it could cause serious trouble if not handled properly.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang hesitated when faced with Wang Teng's request and did not agree immediately.
"Wang Teng, do you have any specific plans for borrowing these two books?"
Yu Xiaogang ultimately did not refuse outright, but instead chose to ask again.
He wanted to figure out what the student was trying to do first.
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng realized there was an opportunity, so he quickly explained, "Master, as you know, my innate soul power is only level five."
"As I get older, my cultivation speed will slow down."
"So, I plan to seek some help from various herbs."
"I recently had an idea to research whether it's possible to concoct a potion that can break through the limitations of martial spirits and accelerate the cultivation of soul power using various herbs and poisons."
At this moment, Wang Teng spoke very seriously, as if he truly believed it.
"Break through the limitations of your Martial Soul and accelerate your Soul Power cultivation?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately became interested.
He sat up straight, and his eyes, which had been a little sleepy, suddenly brightened.
The constraints of martial spirits are a question that Yu Xiaogang has been pondering all along, and it is also his greatest pain.
"Wang Teng, do you have any specific research areas?"
Yu Xiaogang leaned forward slightly, looking at Wang Teng with great interest.
If this student can really make a breakthrough in this area, it will be of great significance.
Wang Teng's lips curled up slightly, and then he explained earnestly, "Master, I have had little contact with herbal medicine before, so so far I only have a vague direction and it is not yet systematic."
"Oh? Tell me, tell me..."
Yu Xiaogang urged impatiently, slapping the armrest of the sofa.
"Master, it's like this."
Wang Teng gathered his thoughts and slowly said, "I plan to concoct a poison that is less destructive but has sufficient penetration depth."
"Then, use this to attack the Soul Master's Martial Soul, leaving the Martial Soul in a slightly damaged state for the time being."
"Next, we will use other herbs to formulate an antidote that can remove the toxins and at the same time repair and strengthen the martial soul."
"Then, let the Soul Master's body and Martial Soul be under the influence of these two medicinal liquids, and try to break through the limitations of the Martial Soul itself through this process of breaking down and then rebuilding."
After saying that, Wang Teng stared intently into Yu Xiaogang's eyes, observing his reaction.
Upon hearing what Wang Teng had just said, Yu Xiaogang was completely agitated.
His hands were clenched tightly together, his eyes were wide open, and his breathing became rapid.
Wang Teng's idea may seem to have a low success rate, but it carries a high risk.
However, Yu Xiaogang still saw a glimmer of hope in it, which was the hope that he could break through the limitations of his martial soul and get rid of the name of a waste.
This was the first time in all these years that he had heard such a creative idea.
However, Wang Teng's idea is still just an idea, and it remains an unknown.
Yu Xiaogang was torn between whether or not to pass on his valuable knowledge to Wang Teng.
These books represent his years of accumulated knowledge. If Wang Teng just glances at them or doesn't come up with any results, wouldn't it all be for nothing?
At that moment, unnoticed by Yu Xiaogang, Wang Teng's hands were clenched into fists, his palms sweaty.
"I wonder if my wild idea will catch Yu Xiaogang's attention."
"It should be fine, after all, the people on Douluo Continent have always been quite simple-minded and haven't experienced the baptism of fraud."
"Although Yu Xiaogang is called a master, he is not an exceptionally intelligent person in essence."
"You can tell from his Ten Core Principles of Martial Soul that it's at most a middle school student's level of summarization."
"How could my fabricated idea, made up by a proper college student in my past life, not fool him?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Teng's mind like a revolving lantern.
A fine layer of sweat had seeped from his forehead.
Wang Teng quickly raised his hand, pretending to wipe it off casually, to avoid letting Yu Xiaogang see through his guilty conscience.
You can't give yourself away at this point.
About an incense stick's time later, Yu Xiao finally recovered from her shock.
He looked at Wang Teng with burning eyes, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
Then, Yu Xiaogang said, "Your idea is very creative and very bold!"
"However, the risk is too great. If things go wrong, it could cause irreversible damage to the martial soul..."
“Master, that’s why I came to you. I hope to gain some relevant knowledge of herbalism and toxicology so that I can do my best to prepare and minimize the risks.”
Wang Teng quickly pressed on, continuing in a sincere and urgent tone.
"Alright, Wang Teng, I hope you won't disappoint me."
In the end, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, and ultimately, his own future triumphed over his instinct to protect the family's knowledge.
Chapter 195 Toxicology and Herbalism
Yu Xiaogang stretched out his hand, and a flash of white light appeared on his hand. Two thick books were taken out of his storage soul tool and appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"boom!"
Yu Xiaogang placed the two books heavily on the coffee table in front of Wang Teng, making a dull thud.
"This is the knowledge of herbs and poisons that I have collected from various sources over the years. There are family copies, the Spirit Hall's, and my own travel notes."
Hope this helps.
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang pushed the two large volumes toward Wang Teng, indicating that he should accept them.
Wang Teng quickly reached out and took it.
He casually flipped open one of the books and saw that the pages were densely filled with the names, shapes, growing environments and effects of various herbs, with handwritten annotations by Yu Xiaogang next to them.
These two books were indeed full of knowledge about various herbs and poisons in the Douluo Continent, and the content was very detailed.
"Thank you, Master."
Wang Teng looked up and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Regardless of what kind of person Yu Xiaogang is, this time it was at least a great help to him.
With these books, the journey to find the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire becomes much safer.
"Alright, Wang Teng, take this and write it down."
"After you remember this, remember to return these two books. These are the only two rare copies I have here."
Yu Xiaogang leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and gave instructions, his voice revealing a hint of fatigue, but also a hint of anticipation.
"Yes, Master, I will definitely finish copying and return it as soon as possible."
Then, Wang Teng stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wang Teng."
Yu Xiaogang's voice came from behind Wang Teng, stopping him and saying, "If you can really develop the potion you envisioned..."
Wang Teng stopped and turned around.
He looked into Yu Xiaogang's eyes and said with a smile, "I understand, Master."
"I remember all of these words without you having to say them."
"If that day ever comes, I will never forget the master's help today."
Under the moonlight, Wang Teng's smile appeared exceptionally sincere.
Afterwards, Wang Teng left Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.
Standing outside the door, he looked up at the moon in the night sky.
The moonlight was bright, casting a clear glow, and the stars twinkled in the distance.
"If we can really find the immortal herb, Gangzi, you helped me today, and I will give you an explanation."
"Although I can't give you the immortal herbs, I don't even have enough for myself."
