Chapter 57: Refining the Immortal Herb

Zhou Heng and Dugu Yan talked for a while longer, and the relationship between the two grew even closer.

Not long after, the mist within the Poison Array surged, and soon Dugu Bo was seen walking out of the Poison Array holding a small bottle.

"Yanyan, this is the Yin Yang Balancing Pill I refined. Take it and eat three pills every day. After two months, it will balance your Yin and Yang. At that time, if you practice Spirit and Qi Unite, you will be able to completely resolve the problem of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison backlash," Dugu Bo said loudly with a smile in his tone.

This voice startled the two of them, and Dugu Yan hurriedly pulled her wrist away from Zhou Heng's grasp and ran toward Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo naturally saw the hands of Zhou Heng and Dugu Yan clasped together, but Dugu Bo said nothing.

In any case, she was going to marry Zhou Heng, so he would just consider it Zhou Heng's good fortune for now.

After Dugu Yan took the small bottle from Dugu Bo's hand, she simply said goodbye to Zhou Heng, and was then taken away from the Sunset Forest by Dugu Bo, flying toward Heaven Dou City.

After flying into Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and told Dugu Yan to return to her dormitory.

Dugu Bo then went to the office of the three Education Committee Members and met Meng Shenji and the others.

"Poison Douluo, you have come. I wonder if you could release our student back to us?" Upon seeing Dugu Bo, Meng Shenji asked him when he would release Zhou Heng.

Dugu Bo laughed; if it weren't for these three arranging for Zhou Heng to be in his granddaughter Dugu Yan's class, he wouldn't have known when he would have been able to solve the problem of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison backlash.

"Zhou Heng is my granddaughter's husband-to-be. You don't need to worry about his affairs; I will naturally teach him about his cultivation.

For these days, Zhou Heng will not be coming to attend school.

Right now, the relationship between Zhou Heng and Yanyan is very good.

You find me that fellow who is spreading rumors; how dare they spread such rumors."

Meng Shenji used his spiritual power to sense Dugu Bo's heart, confirmed that Dugu Bo was not lying, and said with a smile: "Rest assured, Zhou Heng is a student we hold in high regard, and we naturally will not sit by and watch Zhou Heng be attacked by rumors.

We will investigate carefully, and once we find the person behind the scenes, we will send word to you and notify you to come." Meng Shenji decided to do Dugu Bo this favor.

In fact, Meng Shenji's main thought was that after finding the mastermind, he would just catch the person and hand them over to Dugu Bo.

However, Dugu Bo strongly insisted that he wanted to take action himself to catch the person.

After Dugu Bo finished handling the matter, he walked toward the Taizi Fu; Dugu Bo did not choose to go through the main gate and have someone announce him.

Instead, he simply found a place, climbed over the wall, and jumped into the Taizi Fu.

After all, Dugu Bo still had ties to Prince Xue Xing, and if he were to visit openly, he feared it would make many factions suspicious, so it was better to climb over the wall.

After Dugu Bo climbed into the Taizi Fu, it took no more than a few breaths before the Serpent Spear Douluo arrived at Dugu Bo's side; today, it was the Pufferfish Douluo who was protecting him personally.

He had just been nearby watching the situation in the residence, and as soon as he came over, he saw Dugu Bo climbing over the wall. The Serpent Spear Douluo still knew about Dugu Bo's situation with the Spirit Hall, so he did not hide his figure and came directly to Dugu Bo's side.

"Poison Douluo, what are you doing here? And climbing over the wall at that!" The Serpent Spear Douluo frowned at Dugu Bo and said unpleasantly.

"Nothing much, just here to see the Crown Prince," Dugu Bo said with a smile. As he spoke, Dugu Bo pulled the Serpent Spear Douluo along, wanting to see Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

The Serpent Spear Douluo shook his head and said: "No, two ministers are here today, and they are discussing government affairs; it is not convenient for you to see him."

After Dugu Bo learned this, he did not stay any longer, asked the Serpent Spear Douluo to give his regards to Xue Qinghe on his behalf, climbed back out, and then did not linger in Heaven Dou City, running directly toward the Sunset Forest.

Soon, Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest.

As soon as he passed the Poison Array, Dugu Bo saw Zhou Heng holding a bead in his hands, and behind Zhou Heng stood a bamboo stalk with intricate patterns.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had returned, Zhou Heng did not stop and continued with his own business.

"Is this a Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo? How did it get in?" Dugu Bo looked at the suddenly appearing Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo and asked Zhou Heng.

"This is a Spirit Beast I have subdued, what's the matter?" Zhou Heng replied.

Dugu Bo looked at this Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo, observing the intricate patterns on its stalk, and was filled with curiosity, wondering how Zhou Heng had subdued this Spirit Beast.

Zhou Heng quickly finished his movements and put the Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo away.

"This is a special ability of my martial soul. I am about to break through to level forty soul power; you will know when the time comes," Zhou Heng explained casually as he saw Dugu Bo still looking at him with curiosity.

Hearing that Zhou Heng was about to break through to level forty soul power, a trace of joy appeared on Dugu Bo's face.

"By the way, come with me."

Zhou Heng suddenly thought of something and pulled Dugu Bo to the front of an Immortal Herb.

This was an unremarkable-looking medicinal herb. The herb was entirely emerald green, and strangely, there were three snow-white leaves in the center of the herb, with five dewdrops in the middle of the leaves, just like dew left in the early morning.

Dugu Bo looked at this Immortal Herb and asked curiously: "Xiao Heng, what is this Immortal Herb, and what are its effects?"

"This is Wangchuan Qiushui Dew. The most important part of this Immortal Herb is those five dewdrops. They can strengthen spiritual power, and if possible, they can even refine Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, which can see through the essence of things; the effect is excellent.

However, the first drop has the greatest effect, and the subsequent effects will be much smaller."

Dugu Bo looked at the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew at his feet and said: "Should I take it now to strengthen my spiritual power?"

Zhou Heng hurriedly shook his head, rejecting Dugu Bo's suggestion.

"No, you must first take the Yin Yang Balancing Pill to balance the Yin and Yang Qi, and then take the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew to strengthen your spiritual power.

Otherwise, the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in your body will consume the effect of the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew strengthening your spiritual power before you do; wouldn't that just be nourishing the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison?"

Dugu Bo nodded and said: "I understand."

After speaking, Dugu Bo took out the Yin Yang Balancing Pill from his Storage Soul Guidance Device and swallowed one.

He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to refine the medicinal power within it.

Zhou Heng watched Dugu Bo's condition from the side, acting as his protector.

This Yin Yang Balancing Pill was only a medicine used to balance Yin and Yang, and its medicinal power was not powerful.

Soon, Dugu Bo woke up.

Without waiting for Dugu Bo to say anything more, Zhou Heng raised his hand, channeled his soul power, lifted a drop of dew, and brought it before Dugu Bo's eyes.

"After swallowing it, channel all your soul power to refine the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb." Zhou Heng's voice reached Dugu Bo's ears along with the arrival of the dew.

Dugu Bo did not hesitate and opened his mouth to swallow the dew.

The next moment, a massive amount of energy surged from his abdomen, overflowing out of his body along his pores.

Zhou Heng raised his hand, and a layer of water appeared out of thin air, then transformed into a water film that wrapped around Dugu Bo's entire body, preventing the energy of the Immortal Herb from dissipating.
