Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

A strong herbal aroma wafted over, bittersweet, and the mixed scent of various herbs made Wang Teng instinctively cover his mouth and nose.

When he first arrived, he couldn't get used to the smell, but after walking around for a while, Wang Teng gradually got used to the smell.

This is where the entire Tiandou City conducts the buying and selling of herbs.

Wang Teng slowed his pace and carefully examined the street.

The streets are lined with both sizable shops and simple street stalls.

If you're buying large quantities of goods, those shops with all sorts of signs are naturally the best choice.

Wang Teng even saw that one shop sign prominently displayed the logo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If you only want to buy a small amount of herbs, the street stalls have everything you need, with all kinds of medicinal materials to choose from.

Wang Teng came here to prepare for his upcoming entry into the Sunset Forest.

He planned to buy some herbs and prepare some simple antidotes.

Buy some more poisonous herbs and concoct some basic poisons.

The antidote can suppress the toxicity at a critical moment, buying time for Wang Teng.

Poison can increase combat effectiveness when encountering danger.

Wang Teng had previously borrowed pharmacology books from Yu Xiaogang, although those two books did not contain any specific prescriptions.

However, based on his own analysis and understanding, Wang Teng felt that he should be able to prepare some simple antidotes and poisons.

Moreover, Wang Teng himself possessed a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.

"In this way, as long as I can ensure that I am not poisoned to death on the spot in the Sunset Forest, I will have room to maneuver."

"First, use simple medicine to suppress the toxins, then rely on the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's skills to resist the poison."

"Although the things I make myself may not work, it's better than nothing."

"It's always good to be prepared."

With that in mind, Wang Teng began to select and purchase the necessary herbs and poisonous plants from various stalls along the street.

He squatted down in front of a street stall, carefully examining the medicinal herbs on the stall, picking and choosing.

He then haggled with the shopkeeper in another shop and eventually made a deal on several relatively valuable poisonous herbs.

As he continued to travel and buy things, Wang Teng's storage soul tool gradually accumulated more and more items.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Teng finally stopped.

He sensed the contents of his soul tool; it was filled to the brim with various herbs, poisons, and auxiliary materials. He had prepared almost everything he needed to.

He looked up at the sky; the sun was already high in the sky. He hadn't realized that he had spent so much time in the herbal medicine street.

almost.

Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction, turned and left the herb street, heading back the way he came.

Next, it's time to get down to business.

We should look for Dugu Bo's residence, or at least find a place to settle down first.

After leaving the herb street, Wang Teng did not rush to inquire about Dugu Bo's residence, but planned to find a place to settle down first.

He walked around the city for a few streets before finally choosing a hotel that looked decent.

The storefront wasn't large, but it was quite clean, and the sign read "Sanbao Inn".

Wang Teng pushed open the door, walked to the counter, and asked the price.

"A standard room costs one gold coin per night."

The waiter at the front desk said with a smile.

Wang Teng was stunned for a moment, almost thinking he had misheard.

He knew that living in Tiandou City was not easy.

But I never expected the prices here to be so outrageous.

Chapter 206 This is too hard for me

One Gold Soul Coin?

This price really startled Wang Teng.

Although he wasn't short of money, spending a gold soul coin in one night still stung a little.

You should know that one gold soul coin is enough for an ordinary family to live on for more than half a month.

Perhaps sensing Wang Teng's hesitation, the waiter quickly added, "Sir, this is already considered a cheap price."

"Go check out other places, their prices won't be lower than ours, and in terms of room amenities, our place is one of the best in the area."

"You'll see once you stay one night; it's absolutely worth the price."

Wang Teng thought for a moment, then, too lazy to bother anymore, he simply took out a gold soul coin from his pocket and threw it on the counter.

"Stay for one night."

The waiter took the money, quickly completed the formalities, and led Wang Teng upstairs.

The room was at the end of the corridor. As soon as he opened the door, Wang Teng nodded.

The room was quite spacious, with a large wooden bed covered with neat bedding, a desk by the window with tea sets on it, and a wardrobe in the corner.

In addition, the room also features a large balcony and a spacious bathroom.

The floor is a polished wooden floor, which feels very solid underfoot.

The washbasin and towels were all provided.

It certainly deserves the price of a gold soul coin.

"It's a pity that one person lives alone. I wish Ning Rongrong were here!"

Wang Teng closed the door with satisfaction.

It was past noon. Wang Teng had been bouncing around in the carriage for the past two weeks. Although he was much stronger than his peers, he had accumulated a lot of mental fatigue.

After closing the door, he immediately took off his coat and went into the bathroom to take a nice hot shower.

The warm water washed over my skin, taking away the weariness from days of travel.

After taking a shower, Wang Teng collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep almost the instant his head hit the pillow.

I slept very soundly, without even having a dream.

When Wang Teng opened his eyes again, it was pitch black outside the window, and only faint moonlight shone into the room.

He immediately turned over and looked at the clock on the wall.

It was just past midnight.

Then, Wang Teng sat up, rubbed his eyes, and was wide awake.

"It's time."

Wang Teng muttered to himself, put on his coat, got out of bed, and walked to the desk by the window.

He pulled out a chair and sat down, taking things out one by one from his storage soul guide bracelet.

First, there's a bunch of herbs I bought today at the herb market. There are common antidotes, but also a lot of poisonous herbs that look a bit off, and some auxiliary ingredients.

Soon, herbs filled half of the room's floor.

Then, Wang Teng took out various tools.

Knife, scissors, pestle, mortar and pestle, small guillotine, copper spoon, porcelain bowl, gauze...

The table was filled with odds and ends.

If someone knowledgeable were watching, they would immediately recognize these as tools used for processing medicinal herbs.

Clearly, Wang Teng intended to put his idea of ​​preparing the medicine into practice under the cover of night.

"It would be best if we could concoct both the antidote and the poison; if not..."

"We'll have to try to find out."

Then, Wang Teng picked up a herb that could detoxify, smelled it, and carefully examined the texture of its leaves.

The contents of the pharmacology books he had read with Yu Xiaogang flashed through his mind one by one.

Wang Teng placed the herbs on a small cleaver, cut them into even pieces, then pounded them in a mortar and pestle to extract the juice, filtered out the residue, and stored it in a small porcelain bottle for later use.

An hour later, a row of processed medicinal herbs appeared on the table.

Wang Teng looked at his work and was quite satisfied.

"Looks like I do have some talent for pharmaceuticals."

Wang Teng smiled confidently.

Although we haven't officially started preparing the potions yet, our hands-on skills are at least quite good in the early stages.

"However, the next step, the preparation of various medicinal materials, is the crucial one."

Wang Teng took a deep breath, mixed the prepared herbs together according to his own calculations, added an appropriate amount of water, and simmered them over a low flame.

He stared at the bubbling medicine pot, a sense of anticipation rising within him.

Then, after the medicinal soup was cooked and cooled slightly, Wang Teng picked up a small spoon and tasted a little bit.

A bitter taste spread on his tongue, followed by a rumbling sound from his stomach.

Wang Teng's expression changed drastically. He quickly put down the spoon and rushed into the bathroom.

After a while, Wang Teng finally came out.

At this moment, his face turned somewhat pale.

"This isn't an antidote, it's a laxative."

Wang Teng was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

First attempt, failed.
