Chapter 66: with translation of chapter title
In the excitement, Gu Xuan's purple third soul ring on his body surface lit up directly, and with the release of soul power, a one-meter-wide path made of bone swords appeared before Gu Xuan, extending continuously toward the lower part of the Binghuo Liangyi Yan.
Gu Xuan stepped directly onto the bone sword and dove down toward the Binghuo Liangyi Yan; the bone sword extended downward toward the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, and for every distance Gu Xuan traveled, the bone sword behind him dissipated while new bone swords continuously appeared above.
The maximum range of Gu Xuan's third soul skill is now thirty meters, five meters wide; he compressed the width to one meter, then kept the length at thirty meters, and directly charged toward the Binghuo Liangyi Yan like that.
Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan watching this scene also made me slightly astonished; can a soul skill be used like this?
Condensing a bone sword out of thin air, I don't know what level of control over soul skill and soul power this has already reached.
Actually, if it were someone else, they'd be right or wrong about doing it; Gu Xuan's ability to release his third soul skill in midair is also because his Bone Dragon martial soul innately comprehends spatial power; although he still hasn't reached the unfathomable level of gods and ghosts, using it for these little tricks is completely without problem.
However, just as Gu Xuan had just arrived beside the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, two figures appeared beside him—namely Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan.
【8】 「Eh…」
Gu Xuan suddenly thought of something—damn, there's a Titled Douluo here; they could just fly down!
I completely forgot about this because I was excited just now, and I wasted a lot of soul power—damn!
"Little Xuan, I didn't expect you to have such ability; even a Soul King–level Soul Master rarely treats this hundred-zhang cliff as nothing." Having just come beside Gu Xuan, Dugu Bo couldn't help but praise.
Gu Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "Grandpa Du Gu, you overpraise me; I was just overly excited. Inside the Binghuo Liangyi Yan there are not only medicinal herbs that can help you and Yan Zi resolve bodily toxins, but also many heavenly treasures that seize heaven and earth's creation."
Gu Xuan did not conceal anything from Dugu Bo, because it was no longer necessary, and moreover Dugu Bo does not know these herbs; even if he knew how extraordinary they were, based on Gu Xuan's identity and background and his relationship with Du Gu Yan, he would not do anything detrimental to Gu Xuan.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with brilliance and his complexion turned rosy: "I had long guessed as much, but I know nothing about this Binghuo Liangyi Yan, and thus cannot use these miraculous herbs."
"Since you know these things, I have only one request of you."
Gu Xuan nodded solemnly: "Please speak."
"I am originally a lone solitary person; monopolizing this treasure land is of little use. You may take and use the medicinal herbs here for yourself, but you must select the most suitable ones for my Yan Yan; this is my only request." Dugu Bo said very seriously, his words leaving no room for refusal.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Gu Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "Grandpa Du Gu, what are you saying? Even if you didn't say so, I would still choose the most suitable and precious medicinal herbs for Yan Zi and give them to her."
Dugu Bo nodded with a smile and said, "With your words, I am relieved."
Then Gu Xuan said, "Grandpa Du Gu, part of the medicinal herbs here are called immortal-grade herbs, which possess the power to seize heaven's creation; their preciousness surpasses even that of soul bones."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully.
Gu Xuan then continued, "I have already found the herbs that can resolve your bodily deadly poison, but using them is somewhat troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Du Gu Yan's eyes lit up. Gu Xuan merely just arrived at the Binghuo Liangyi Yan and found the herbs that can resolve their bodily deadly poison? So quickly? He originally thought Gu Xuan would need some time to search, after all the Binghuo Liangyi Yan is neither big nor small; this basin is about the size of a football field, containing countless rare and extraordinary herbs, yet Gu Xuan managed to find them in such a short time, which proves his true talent even more than when he tested Gu Xuan before.
However, Gu Xuan's so-called trouble made him unable to help asking: "What trouble? Do you need my help? Although my strength among the Titled Douluo amounts to nothing, my reputation is something many Titled Douluo cannot match." "As long as you, Little Xuan, speak up, no matter what difficulties or dangers, I will definitely get it done."
Upon hearing that, Gu Xuan also smiled wryly; Dugu Bo's reputation is indeed enough to be intimidating, after all, although he cannot defeat a Titled Douluo, he can beat you down to just a Titled Douluo.
So in this world, there really aren't many things that can trouble Dugu Bo.
However, this difficulty does not require Dugu Bo to do anything, because the difficulty comes from them themselves.
Gu Xuan spoke up to explain: "This matter is simple to say, but for you and Yan Zi it is hard to resolve."
Upon hearing this, both Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan's faces changed, and they awaited Gu Xuan's continuation.
Gu Xuan continued: "I just said that immortal-grade herbs possess the power to seize heaven and earth's creation; this is no exaggeration—take a look at these two special immortal-grade herbs."
Gu Xuan, while speaking, pointed with each hand to a special immortal-grade herb.
Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan followed the direction of Gu Xuan's fingers and saw that they were exactly two herbs with opposing properties, both possessing deadly poison.
Dugu Bo frowned slightly and said: "Although I don't recognize these two immortal-grade herbs, they are both deadly poisonous; the red one emits an intensely hot aura, its fire poison far surpassing any fire-attribute plant I have ever seen."
Speaking, he pointed to another immortal-grade herb and continued: "This blue immortal-grade herb is exactly the opposite of that red one; not only does it emit an extremely cold aura, its ice poison is also the greatest."
"These two immortal-grade herbs are both deadly poisonous; could it be that you, kid, intend to fight poison with poison?"
Dugu Bo said this, and also began to think, wanting to see whether this method would actually work.
He had indeed previously conducted experiments fighting poison with poison, but the Emerald Scale Snake's poison ultimately took the initiative; the effect of fighting poison with poison was not great, and it could even trigger an outbreak of the Emerald Scale Snake's poison.
Perhaps these two immortal-grade herbs possessing the utmost fire and ice poison could be tried, but he also lacked confidence in suppressing these two attributes of poison that have nearly reached the extreme.
Just as he was thinking about this problem, Gu Xuan spoke: "This red immortal-grade medicinal herb is called Flaming Apricot Delicate Herb, and that blue immortal-grade medicinal herb is called Eight-cornered Profound Ice Grass."
"Grandfather Dugu Bo, as you said, these two immortal-grade medicinal herbs are both highly toxic, but if they can be taken simultaneously, allowing the two poisons to merge in a balanced state, then it becomes turning poison into tonic; the medicinal effects of the two herbs combine, and it can almost be said to be the top-grade immortal herb within this Binghuo Liangyi Yan."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo and Du Gu Yan's eyes flashed with bright light; they did not doubt Gu Xuan's words, being able to recognize this Binghuo Liangyi Yan and these immortal-grade medicinal herbs, naturally they were very familiar with their medicinal effects.
In other words, they really have hope of being saved? But Gu Xuan also didn't say the detox method, huh? Could the method be to take these two immortal-grade medicinal herbs?
But there are only two stalks of the herb, and they need to be taken simultaneously, yet there are two of them—could this be the difficulty? If so, then for Dugu Bo it's not really a difficulty, because in his heart, as long as Du Gu Yan is well, nothing else matters.
