Chapter 71: Gifting Immortal Herbs, Temporarily Leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
The Hunyuan Immortal Grass is the most unique type of Immortal Herb; this herb has no effect on improving one's constitution in the slightest, nor will it increase the user's talent. Its sole function is to instantly increase cultivation power. In terms of the strength of its medicinal efficacy, within the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there is absolutely nothing that surpasses it, with the exception of the Acacia Heartbroken Red.
This is also the most suitable one for Lan Xue. Since this herb does not alter one's constitution but only increases cultivation power, it is not much affected by age or cultivation level. Even a high-level Spirit Master of advanced age can absorb a significant amount of its medicinal power. Furthermore, Lan Xue has already consumed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which improves one's constitution, and another marvelous use of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is to assist in the absorption of other medicinal powers. It is one of the very few Immortal Herbs that can coexist with others. Coupled with Lan Xue's own profound cultivation at the Title Douluo level, Nan Feihuang is confident that she, like him, can consume one additional Immortal Herb.
With the powerful medicinal efficacy of the Hunyuan Immortal Grass, his mother's level will inevitably experience a surge.
As for the final two...
Nan Feihuang leaped back to Dugu Bo's side in one bound. "Old Poison, take this Snake Heart Grass and give it to Sister Dugu Yan. This grass is very effective at alleviating snake venom, and at the same time, it has a significant power-increasing effect for those who possess snake-type martial souls. Its medicinal efficacy is not inferior to an Immortal Grade Herb. Sister Dugu Yan's poisoning is not deep, so she does not need me to prepare medicine for her. Once she consumes this grass and cultivates the Diamond Indestructible Body, she will naturally be able to detoxify. Moreover, when she consumes the Immortal Herb internally and cultivates the divine art externally, she can at least look forward to becoming a Super Douluo in the future."
"Many thanks!" Dugu Bo took the Snake Heart Grass. Since it concerned his granddaughter's life and future, there was naturally no need to be polite. Besides, he was the one who discovered this place in the first place.
"Also, this one is for you!" Nan Feihuang then handed the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew to Dugu Bo.
"I get one too?" Dugu Bo asked in surprise. His poison was already mostly suppressed; what would he need an Immortal Herb for?
Moreover, he was too old now, and his cultivation was high; even if he ate an Immortal Herb, much of the medicinal efficacy would be lost. Giving it to him was simply a waste.
"Of course. You contributed this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; did you think I would forget you?" Nan Feihuang said as if it were only natural.
"I also know what you are worried about. Rest assured, the Immortal Herb I have chosen for you is absolutely the most suitable one for you at present, and it has nothing to do with your cultivation power, so you don't need to worry about losing too much. This is because this is the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, which primarily increases eyesight and mental power."
"This type of Immortal Herb has a very limited effect on increasing cultivation power, but its effect on improving eyesight and mental power can be called terrifying. That move, the Medusa Gaze, which you used when you helped me hunt Spirit Beasts previously, was performed relying on eyesight and mental power, right? It's a very strong skill; was it from a Spirit Beast approaching fifty thousand years?"
"Yes, this is the head bone of the Queen of Snakes, Medusa, and it was a trophy I obtained when I acquired my Eighth Spirit Ring," Dugu Bo said. This was a rare stroke of good luck in his life, so naturally, the memory was still fresh.
"Old Poison, so the compatibility between this head bone and the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew is extremely high. As long as you consume this herb and significantly enhance your eyesight and mental power, the power erupted by your Medusa Gaze will be in no way inferior to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. You surely understand what kind of combat power a Spirit Master with a hundred-thousand-year soul skill can unleash in battle."
"To think it is such a supreme treasure!" Dugu Bo excitedly took the Immortal Herb, the smile in his eyes impossible to hide.
He was truly too happy. If he could raise the power of his Medusa Gaze to the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, it could trigger a transformation in his strength.
Perhaps he would then have a chance to defeat his old rival, Ju Hua Guan.
As long as the lethal poison was removed, his cultivation power could be fully exerted, and with the hundred-thousand-year soul bone, he would certainly not be without a chance of winning.
After all, although the level Ju Douluo declared to the outside world was Level 95, Dugu Bo knew clearly from their many clashes that his actual level was between 94 and 95, always just one step away from that Super Douluo realm that triggers a qualitative change.
For Title Douluo below Level 95, the gap in levels is indeed not small.
However, by relying on differences in martial soul quality, martial soul suppression, soul bones, and other external factors, it is possible to achieve victory over the strong while being weak.
Ju Douluo's greatest shortcoming is that he has no soul bones.
As a plant-type martial soul user, his physique is also not as good as a Beast Spirit Master.
Dugu Bo did not know that Ju Douluo still had a trump card: the Diamond Indestructible Body. Once he entered that state, even the physique of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon after dragon transformation might not compare to his.
It was just that this move was for a desperate final stand, the type that injures the enemy by a thousand while damaging oneself by eight hundred, so Yue Guan had never used it even once until now.
Nan Feihuang had the intention to warn Dugu Bo, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go for now.
He had no logical channel to know about a move Yue Guan had never shown to anyone. Should he push it onto his non-existent master again? He was afraid that the more lies he fabricated, the more lies he would need to cover them up.
Moreover, he knew that even if Dugu Bo could defeat Yue Guan, he definitely could not kill him.
If Yue Guan wanted to leave, Dugu Bo could not stop him.
So how could Yue Guan casually use such a desperate trump card? This Ju Douluo was not a martial fanatic so obsessed with victory.
On the contrary, he was quite coquettish, and perhaps even had a bit of a delicate fairy-like personality.
Unless it involved his own life or that of Gui Douluo, no one could force this move out of him.
Nan Feihuang gave Dugu Bo a final reminder not to eat the Immortal Herb immediately, but to wait until the detoxification was complete.
Otherwise, the residual toxicity in his body might clash with the powerful medicinal properties of the Immortal Grade Herb.
Dugu Bo naturally knew this point as well; having cultivated to the Title Douluo realm, he would not lack even this bit of patience.
In fact, Nan Feihuang himself would not immediately consume the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower either.
He had just consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, and the medicinal power in his body was excessive. The medicinal power of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was not as gentle as the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew; once its medicinal power conflicted with the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb in Nan Feihuang's body...
At that time, even if Nan Feihuang did not die, it would only cause that medicinal efficacy to be wasted in vain, just like fighting poison with poison.
After taking the Immortal Herbs he needed, Nan Feihuang prepared to leave. Before leaving, he looked back at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well one last time.
He estimated that he would return here often in the future.
There were still countless supreme Immortal Herbs left here, such as the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, and others, which he had not yet picked.
Moreover, there was a secret within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was that beneath the dual springs of ice and fire, the remains of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King were left behind. With their cultivation, they would inevitably have birthed the Ice and Fire Dragon King Bone.
Such treasures were even more precious than the Immortal Herbs.
But Nan Feihuang knew that it was not yet time for him to take these two soul bones. The cultivation of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings was too strong; even though they had already fallen, there was still a possibility that the spirits of ice and fire could awaken.
With Nan Feihuang's current cultivation, if the spirits of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings wanted to put him to death, he would have no power to resist at all.
Even if he wanted to find someone to help, it would not work. Although Dugu Bo, Lan Xue, and the others had strong cultivation, they did not have the ability to be immune to ice and fire, and could not go deep into the bottom of the Scorching Yang Spring and the Extreme Cold Yin Spring.
Therefore, those most precious treasures could only wait until Nan Feihuang's strength improved before he could find a way to obtain them.
