Chapter 54: Immortal Herb
Very quickly, Zhou Huan and the other arrived at a place where many special plants grew.
The most eye-catching one was not far ahead: a small pool with red and blue colors, which was precisely Zhou Heng's target this time, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
On the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, two herbs were growing.
On the red side grew a plant that was fiery red all over, which was precisely the Fiery Apricot Delicate Silk from the original work.
And on the blue side grew a plant that was blue and white all over, which was also the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass from the original work.
In the original work, these two Immortal Herbs helped Tang San complete the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, allowing Tang San to obtain a body immune to all poisons.
However, Zhou Heng did not value these two Immortal Herbs, turning instead to look at an Immortal Herb growing to the side.
That was a pale pink flower, and around this flower, wisps of faint floral fragrance were being emitted.
Zhou Heng looked at this Immortal Herb and recognized at a glance that it was the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item mentioned in the original work, which possessed the ability to restrain all poisons under heaven.
Zhou Heng pulled Dugu Bo to a distance of two steps in front of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item and asked Dugu Bo, "Old man, do you feel anything?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo closed his eyes to sense the situation inside his body, but he did not discover any changes in his body, and Dugu Bo could not help but frown.
Could it be that Zhou Heng was lying to him?
However, Dugu Bo opened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Heng, but he did not see any issues in Zhou Heng's expression.
After closing his eyes to observe carefully once more, Dugu Bo confirmed that he indeed had no changes.
Opening his eyes again, Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "There is no change in the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in my body?"
Hearing that Dugu Bo had no changes, Zhou Heng frowned directly, lowered his head to think for a moment, and said, "Old man, try releasing a strand of soul power."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly, raised his hand, and released a strand of soul power carrying a green glow from his palm.
However, the moment the soul power was released, Dugu Bo widened his eyes in disbelief; he saw that the poison-attribute soul power in Dugu Bo's palm was rapidly turning into pure soul power.
Dugu Bo widened his eyes; no matter how he controlled the poison-attribute soul power in his hand, this soul power was unstoppably turning into pure soul power.
Dugu Bo looked at the pure soul power in his hand with disbelief in his eyes; Dugu Bo casually dissipated the soul power and, refusing to believe it, released another strand of poison-attribute soul power.
This time, the poison-attribute soul power still inevitably turned into pure soul power.
Dugu Bo refused to believe it, dissipated the soul power, and took action again.
This time, Dugu Bo directly used a soul skill, releasing a burst of poisonous gas that circled around his body.
This time, the poisonous gas dissipated even faster; in just a few breaths, these poisonous gases dissipated completely, leaving only wisps of floral fragrance.
Dugu Bo smelled the floral fragrance, looked at the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item in front of him, and said in surprise, "Is it this herb's special ability?!"
Although Dugu Bo's words carried a tone of doubt, they were more of a questioning of Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng nodded and said, "That's right, this herb is an Immortal Herb named the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, and it can restrain all toxins in the world."
Dugu Bo looked at the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item in disbelief, truly unable to believe that such a special Immortal Herb existed in this world.
However, Dugu Bo thought of another problem, turned his head to look at Zhou Heng, and asked, "That's not right, Xiao Heng, why can't this Immortal Herb called the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item remove the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in my body? Doesn't it restrain all poisons under heaven?"
Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Regarding this, I have a hypothesis: this Fragrant Silk Immortal Item can restrain all poisons under heaven, and its floral fragrance can neutralize toxins, but it does not possess the ability to detoxify itself.
Before entering the range of the floral fragrance, you should have already been poisoned.
It can only neutralize those toxins before they enter your body; it cannot remove toxins that have already entered the body.
However, there is also a possibility that after the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in your body mutated, it began to devour the host's life force.
This special situation makes the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item believe that this Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison is already an indispensable organ within your body.
Therefore, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item did not neutralize the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in your body."
Zhou Heng's words made Dugu Bo shake his head and sigh; it was a pity, if only this Fragrant Silk Immortal Item could remove the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in his body.
In that case, why would he still need to provoke this fellow Zhou Heng? He had found this place long ago.
Zhou Heng looked at Dugu Bo's regretful expression and naturally thought of Dugu Bo's thoughts, but Zhou Heng did not say it out loud; when the time came, he would naturally understand that by throwing his lot in with the Spirit Hall and himself, he was the one who had gained the big advantage.
Zhou Heng led Dugu Bo away from the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item again and turned to look at an Immortal Herb that looked like a white swan; this Immortal Herb was the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss, which could amplify toxins a thousand or ten thousand times, and even a negligible amount of toxin could easily poison a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast to death.
Regarding the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss, Zhou Heng maintained an attitude of keeping a respectful distance; Dugu Bo's current situation meant he absolutely must not approach this Immortal Herb.
After Zhou Heng told Dugu Bo about the abilities of this Immortal Herb, he repeatedly warned Dugu Bo never to approach within fifty steps of the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss.
Dugu Bo did not believe it, but as a result, Dugu Bo only approached within seventy steps of the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss before he felt a faint swelling pain appear in his dantian, and this feeling was even spreading.
As soon as this feeling appeared, Dugu Bo immediately gave up the idea of approaching and retreated directly, moving far away from the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss.
After moving away, Dugu Bo felt that the swelling pain vanished into nothingness.
Seeing Dugu Bo retreat, Zhou Heng knew that he understood the power of the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss, so he stopped trying to persuade Dugu Bo and turned to look at an Immortal Herb.
After Dugu Bo left the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss, he turned his head to look at Zhou Heng behind him, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhou Heng looking at an Immortal Herb.
Dugu Bo then walked up, came to Zhou Heng's side, looked at the Immortal Herb Zhou Heng was watching, and asked, "What Immortal Herb is this? Is it worth you looking at it so seriously?"
"That is a Star Luo Spirit Pearl. The main body of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl bears a golden fruit at the top, the branches are a rare black color, and the surface of the fruit is formed by thousands of golden light spots gathered together.
This kind of Immortal Herb is mostly born in places where meteorites containing Star Power have fallen, and it can help a Spirit Master form a Soul Core, greatly enhancing their strength.
Moreover, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl can also increase the mental power of the person who consumes it and improve their affinity with Star Power," Zhou Heng told Dugu Bo the information he knew.
This knowledge made Dugu Bo marvel; he had not expected such a Heavenly Treasure to exist in this world.
"Star Luo Spirit Pearl? I seem to have heard of this Immortal Herb?" Dugu Bo could not help but recall the books he had read.
Finally, he thought of a story.
It is said that the founding emperor of the Star Luo Empire was originally just an ordinary Spirit Master.
However, after consuming a Star Luo Spirit Pearl by a stroke of luck, he rose directly from an ordinary Spirit Master to become the founding monarch of a nation.
Thinking that such a special Immortal Herb existed in his own place, Dugu Bo could not help but feel fortunate that he had kept his mouth shut all these years.
If the news of this Star Luo Spirit Pearl had leaked out, he feared that even if the Star Luo Empire did not send a Title Douluo, they would find a few Spirit Douluos capable of performing the Nether White Tiger to come and carry out a decapitation plan against him.
"Then do you want to eat it now?" Dugu Bo asked Zhou Heng.
Dugu Bo did not intend to give the Star Luo Spirit Pearl to himself or his granddaughter; after all, such a precious Heavenly Treasure was not something they could afford to consume.
If people found out that he had eaten the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, he feared the Star Luo Empire would directly send a Title Douluo to fight him to the death.
Only Zhou Heng, a disciple of one of the seven Super Douluo in the Offering Hall, has the qualifications to use it.
Even if the Star Luo Empire knew of this news, they would not dare to make a move against Zhou Heng.
Whoever dares to make a move, the seven Super Douluo are not to be trifled with; they would guarantee to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots of anyone who strikes.
