Chapter 23: I, a Human Emperor Banner, what's the problem with having more functions

On the way to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye,

Du Gu Bo was holding Bai Ran as he went, his smile never fading; because of his age and the buildup of bodily toxins, his smile was rather creepy.

To be honest, Bai Ran began to suspect that this Poison Douluo had some strange inclination, like a priest and a little boy?

As for Du Gu Yan, Bai Ran felt nothing.

Her figure is indeed top-notch, but I don't know if it's because Du Gu Bo neglected her education.

Du Gu Yan gave Bai Ran the feeling of a little delinquent girl.

If she got a tattoo, that vibe would be just perfect.

Getting to know her would be fine, but marrying her as a wife?

Bai Ran said: "No need for that; my fate is thin, I can't enjoy such blessings."

Moreover, Du Gu Yan likes Yu Tianheng a lot, and he couldn't bear to split up this childhood sweetheart pair.

About an hour later, Du Gu Bo brought Bai Ran into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Hmm, the legendary Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

For some reason, this distribution shape looks a bit like a mandarin duck hot pot.

"Child, the water in this hot spring contains deadly poison; even I dare not enter, so you must absolutely not get too close."

"Also, some of the medicinal herbs in this herb garden I don't recognize, so you must not touch them."

Du Gu Bo has also tried these immortal herbs.

But after touching the Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss and being poisoned into unconsciousness,

Du Gu Bo didn't dare touch a single one of these so-called immortal herbs.

Even if these things are treasures, if they were used improperly and caused his death, what would become of his precious granddaughter? This Poison Douluo of his has offended many enemies in the Soul Master world; once Du Gu Yan loses his grandfather's protection, her fate would surely be miserable.

"Okay, Senior Poison Douluo."

According to my memory of the plot,

Bai Ran began to search for the so-called immortal herbs.

Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum, a golden-yellow chrysanthemum, I picked it;

Splendid Turmeric, I still recognize turmeric, so I picked it too;

Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, an orchid with eight petals, I picked it, picked it.

……

The remaining Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Herb and Blazing Fire Apricot Herb.

These two are both deadly poisonous herbs; without the Tang Sect's Secret Art Mysterious Jade Hand, Bai Ran wouldn't dare touch them.

And to consume them both and then jump into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to enhance one's physique?

Bai Ran said it's completely unrealistic; as a support-type Soul Master, he can't even get within five meters of these two herbs.

Even if he succeeded, jumping into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, that heart-rending, bone-shattering tempering pain? Without a system, Bai Ran couldn't endure that kind of excruciating pain that would wake him even if he fainted.

Just when Bai Ran didn't know what to do,

The martial soul Human Emperor Banner suddenly transmitted an excited emotion.

"Huh, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Ran summoned the Human Emperor Banner martial soul, not quite understanding what it wanted to do.

However, after summoning that yellow flag, Bai Ran regretted it the next second.

"Big Idiot Chun, what are you trying to do!"

As soon as the Human Emperor Banner appeared, it directly began devouring the immortal herbs Bai Ran had just picked.

Moreover, it actively floated to the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Herb and Blazing Fire Apricot Herb, swallowing them both and instantly refining them.

……

"Child, are you alright?"

Seeing Bai Ran picking immortal herbs, Du Gu Bo said nothing.

Anyway, these things just grow there; he doesn't understand either, if the child likes them, picking them is no big deal.

But seeing Bai Ran summon his martial soul, that flag strangely began devouring the nearby naturally grown medicinal herbs.

Du Gu Bo couldn't help but worry.

Although not entirely clear on the effects of the immortal herbs, one can see they contain a considerable amount of energy.

A martial soul of a Soul Elder over rank thirty, consuming that much energy, would likely cause a Soul Master to explode and die. "I'm fine."

At this moment, Bai Ran was somewhat at a loss.

Because his martial soul seemed to be concocting pills.

As the legendary Human Emperor Banner martial soul, having multiple functions is no problem.

But you're making pills—aren't you giving the neighboring pill masters too little face?

At least first turn into the shape of a pill furnace; otherwise it looks unprofessional.

……

After finishing those immortal herbs, the Human Emperor Banner set its sights on the king among them—Love-Longing Heartbreak Red.

Human Emperor Banner: "Sister, you smell so good."

Love-Longing Heartbreak Red: "I'm the finest of the finest immortals, not a pure-love war god—don't even think of picking me."

Human Emperor Banner: "No, I've given you plenty of face, right? Instantly refined."

Love-Longing Heartbreak Red: "You don't observe martial virtue, directly ignoring the power of worldly rules—this is unacceptable! Watching after eating a round of immortal herbs, the yellow small flag slowly drifts back."

Bai Ran was somewhat speechless.

Through the feedback from his martial soul, Bai Ran also learned the name of the pill he was concocting: Shrek Seven Monsters Happy Pill.

Unlike traditional alchemy, after the Human Emperor Banner absorbed the energy of these fairy herbs, bitter, resentful, alchemy is so troublesome; what's wrong with taking some processing fees? After removing the impurities, retaining the remaining beneficial parts, finally merging them into a pill.

Because it absorbed the fairy herbs that the Shrek Seven Monsters were going to consume in the original plot, it was named the Shrek Seven Monsters Happy Pill.

Tang San: I don't know why, but I feel somewhat empty inside, as if some great opportunity has left me.

"Child, what is this ball-shaped toy the size of a fist?"

Du Gu Bo came before Bai Ran, looked at the pill that the yellow flag had spat out—the "Shrek Seven Monsters Happy Pill"—and couldn't help asking.

"This thing, it's a good thing."

"The essence of the energy of those fairy herbs just now is right here."

"Child, this is not funny at all."

"Refining the essence of fairy herbs?"

Even though Du Gu Bo possesses the soul power of a Title Douluo, he still cannot perform this operation.

You, a little brat who hasn't even grown hair yet, actually managed this?

If you really did it, I, old man, will betroth Yan Yan to you. (Bai Ran: Lao Bideng, how are you still taking and taking!)"Don't believe me? Try it then."

Bai Ran used soul power to cut open this Shrek Seven Monsters Happy Pill, took out one-tenth of it, and handed it to Du Gu Bo.

He received this dark lump.

Du Gu Bo first brought it to his nose and sniffed,

"En, no strange or weird smell, no toxins, it actually seems quite legit."

"Senior Poison Douluo, are you afraid I'll poison you?"

Seeing this old man so cautious, Bai Ran joked.

"I'm afraid you, this little brat, will poison me? Even if you did poison me, I'm a Poison Douluo; if you really managed to poison me, I would take you as my teacher."

Just kidding, this Poison Douluo has played with poison his whole life; there isn't a single spot on his body that isn't poisonous.

Even the venom of a ten-thousand-year poison-attribute spirit beast, Du Gu Bo isn't afraid of it.

"En, little brat, this thing is quite tasty, melts in the mouth, and carries a rich floral fragrance and sweetness."

This taste is very similar to the sugar cubes his granddaughter fed him when he was a child during New Year.

"Huh, no effect?"

Didn't the martial soul's feedback say that this whole pill has the efficacy of twenty fairy herbs?

Du Gu Bo ate one-tenth of it, which should have the effect of two fairy herbs; there should be some reaction.

Normally, after eating one fairy herb, eating another basically has no effect.

But this pill was refined using the Human Emperor Banner's martial soul; what does it have to do with fairy herbs?...
