Chapter 22: Immune to All Poisons, Second Martial Soul

It took Lingxu over an hour just to roughly flip through the introduction of the Immortal Grade Herbs.

After closing the book, Lingxu placed it into the System Space.

Subsequently, Lingxu took out the Myriad Poison Spirit Soul, the reward from this mission.

Using it would allow him to possess a body immune to all poisons.

The Myriad Poison Spirit Soul was the size of a ping-pong ball.

The whole thing emitted a faint green, eerie glow.

This thing, does one have to swallow it directly?

Isn't it a bit too big?

For the sake of a body immune to all poisons, Lingxu endured it.

He took a bite, discovering the taste was actually quite good, with the fresh fragrance of fruit.

He swallowed it quickly, but Lingxu did not feel anything different about his body.

Only after two minutes had passed did Lingxu's body unexpectedly begin to emit a faint eerie glow, just like the Myriad Poison Spirit Soul.

A surge of energy swept through every part of his body.

The Myriad Poison Spirit Soul merged into his muscles, blood, and bones; it was as if every cell in his body was being improved by the Myriad Poison Spirit Soul.

Throughout the entire process, Lingxu did not feel a shred of pain, but it still took roughly over an hour to finish.

At this moment, Lingxu's body had truly achieved immunity to all poisons.

It was far better than the immunity to a hundred poisons after Ice Fire Body Tempering.

……

For the next period of time, Lingxu also lived a stable life in Heaven Dou City.

His parents had also entered the Heaven Dou Branch of Wuhun City to begin their work.

Lingxu used the space within the system to purchase countless potted flowers and plants in Wuhun City.

Then, Lingxu used these flowers to simulate them as medicinal herbs, using them to practice the techniques for harvesting herbs.

In the future, for more than twelve years, Lingxu could be certain the Immortal Grade Herbs would remain intact, so he was not in a rush for Tang San to snatch them; besides, Tang San wasn't even a year old yet! How could he go snatch them?

Lingxu wanted to wait until everything was prepared before going to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It was just that Lingxu did not know that Dugu Bo had not yet occupied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

If he hadn't, perhaps there were even more Immortal Grade Herbs inside.

Although Dugu Bo had planted quite a few medicinal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, had he not also collected many?

When he saw various medicinal herbs, wouldn't he try to pick them?

Given Dugu Bo's abilities, in Lingxu's view, although he could not manage the Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, if he were to touch the Immortal Grade Herbs he couldn't manage, it might result in devastating destruction.

It would be best for Lingxu to rush before Dugu Bo to collect the Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Therefore, Lingxu had recently been spending a large amount of time on these techniques.

Although these techniques for harvesting medicinal herbs seemed simple, they were actually not simple at all.

One only needed to pay attention to two aspects: first was Mental Power, and second was soul power; only with very precise control could one preserve the best medicinal efficacy of the herbs.

Using flowers and plants to practice the techniques was only Lingxu's first step!

Fortunately, Lingxu's Mental Power was strong, and after half a month of practice, he had basically mastered the herb-harvesting techniques.

But this was not enough; many Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs were unique, and there could absolutely not be the slightest mistake; without one hundred percent certainty, one must absolutely not go to harvest them.

Thus, Lingxu had the flower and plant vendors procure quite a few potted medicinal herbs.

At first, the flower and plant vendors were somewhat troubled; after all, they dealt in flowers, not medicinal herbs.

Fortunately, Lingxu threw out tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins, and the other party immediately made arrangements.

After half a month of preparation, they could provide Lingxu with over a dozen pots of fresh, intact medicinal herbs every day.

Using medicinal herbs to practice was the true practical operation.

After another month of practice, Lingxu could already perfectly harvest various medicinal herbs, even the poisonous ones.

After all, if the toxicity did not leak, one would not be so easily poisoned; furthermore, Lingxu was already immune to all poisons.

Even if he weren't, he could just take out the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb when harvesting poisonous Immortal Grade Herbs.

In fact, this Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb was also an Immortal Grade Herb that could make one immune to all poisons.

However, Tang San did not know the method and could only keep it by his side as a tool to shield against poison.

That was fine too; at least he could make one flower last for three generations or even more.

Just on the first day of the third month after Lingxu arrived in Heaven Dou City, just past midnight, Lingxu, who was cultivating, was interrupted by the system's voice.

【Ding... The time for the mission of giving Qian Renxue three years of a happy childhood has arrived; the mission completion rate is being evaluated!】

【Ding... Calculated comprehensively, the host only brought Qian Renxue about two years of happy time; the overall mission completion is 67%. Because you occupy a high status in Qian Renxue's heart, the completion rate can be increased by an additional 20%. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a total of 86% of the mission rewards!】

【Ding... Congratulations to the host for being able to randomly obtain a sub-top-tier martial soul! Do you wish to claim it?】

This mission was originally supposed to give a top-tier martial soul, but in the end, it was discounted to 67% for Lingxu; fortunately, Qian Renxue's high regard for him increased the weight by 20%, allowing him to obtain a sub-top-tier martial soul.

Unable to complete the mission perfectly, what other choice did Lingxu have?

The system did not give him heaven-defying abilities; how could he change the process in front of Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong?

The problem given to Lingxu was almost unsolvable!

Generally speaking, the best were top-tier martial souls, then sub-top-tier martial souls, and below that were high-tier martial souls; Lingxu's Holy Light Winged Tiger barely counted as being in the ranks of sub-top-tier martial souls.

A sub-top-tier martial soul would certainly not be too bad.

With an extra martial soul, at least when he reached Title Douluo, he could absorb various high-age Spirit Rings and then cheat his way to success.

Even if the martial soul wasn't particularly good, Lingxu could accept it.

"System, claim this martial soul," Lingxu thought to himself.

【Task reward issued: Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sub-top-tier martial soul - Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear】

It was actually the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear; Lingxu had originally thought it wouldn't matter if this martial soul was a bit inferior, as he could just use it to increase his soul power in the future.

But he hadn't expected to obtain such a good martial soul.

Although it is not as good as the Chaos Spear, Primordial Spear, or God-Slaying Spear, Lingxu feels the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear is enough; even if he had those other martial souls, he might not be able to unleash their full potential in the Douluo world.

The moment the system issued the reward, Lingxu sensed the existence of his new martial soul.

With a thought, a long spear appeared in Lingxu's hand.

The Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear rests in his hand, its sharp edge piercing through, its aura piercing the sky.

It strikes like a tiger running, pierces like a tiger's claw, sweeps like a tiger's tail, locks like a tiger's bite, and sounds like a tiger's roar.

This is the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear; this martial soul is definitely not bad.

Lingxu feels it would be perfectly fine to call this a top-tier martial soul.

With the long spear in hand, the world is mine to command.

Holding the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear, Lingxu feels as if he were a general on the battlefield.

It is as if he has returned to his youth in his past life; with such a spear, he could have swept across a field of rapeseed, and though he was invincible in the fields, he was ultimately served a beating by his family with a yellow rattan stick.

Just as Lingxu was admiring his new martial soul, the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear.

The system's voice sounded once again.

【Ding... Qian Renxue has triggered a task for the host: Find a suitable fourth Spirit Ring for Qian Renxue within three months. Task rewards: 1. Five Tiger Soul-Severing Spear technique! 2. Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well map! 3. All of the host's Spirit Rings increased by 1,000 years in age!】

Xue'er is not even ten years old yet, and she is already at level forty?

So fast!

About a year ago, Qian Renxue's soul power was only at level thirty-four.

In just one year, she reached level forty.

Qian Renxue underwent another half-year of special training and also absorbed a 99,999-year torso soul bone; with Lingxu's reminders from beginning to end, she did not slack off in her cultivation.

Qian Daoliu might have also given Qian Renxue treasures to increase her soul power; as a level 99 Limit Douluo, he could certainly do that.

After thinking about it this way, Lingxu understood!

Moreover, Qian Renxue will definitely have to remove her Disguise when searching for a Spirit Ring.

Therefore, the person searching for the Spirit Ring must be the most trustworthy and reliable one.

"But how can I take Qian Renxue to find this fourth Spirit Ring?" Lingxu pondered.

The protagonist will improve slowly; in fact, the improvement is already very fast! The cheat provided by the system is very small compared to other novels, and some readers might not be used to it. But if the cheat is too big, the story feels like it loses its flavor. This book still wants to show more of the side where the protagonist and the heroine work hard; everything must be earned through their own efforts, letting things take their natural course! Rather than obtaining everything from the system. Of course, what our protagonist should have, he will eventually have, right!
