Chapter 128: Xie Yue Dragon Tongue Orchid

"Grandfather, can your poison be cured?"

Dugu Yan exclaimed excitedly, her eyes shining as she looked at Dugu Bo, then at Dugu Yan.

Shi Quan then nodded and said, "Grandfather Dugu, rest assured, it is all true. My friend told me, and it matches almost one hundred percent with the medicinal properties I perceived. He is indeed well-versed in Immortal Herbs and Spirit Herbs, and he has also told me all the consumption methods for the Immortal Herbs and Spirit Herbs he knows."

"Good, good, good!" Dugu Bo laughed excitedly.

"However, Grandfather Dugu, in exchange, my friend asked me to give one of the Immortal Herbs, called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, to his friend to consume."

"He doesn't want it himself? Instead, he gives it to a friend?" Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan curiously, "This friend of yours is quite interesting. Tell me about his background."

"His name is Zhuang Zhou..."

Shi Quan then told Dugu Bo the fabricated story of their meeting.

By chance, Zhuang Zhou inquired about the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone from him, and he happened to have seen it in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After some back-and-forth conversation, the two of them became friends.

The Immortal Herb was purple in tone, transitioning to an ink color along the leaves. The branches and leaves were very fleshy, each one resembling a crescent moon, layered on top of each other like a lotus seat, with a cluster of ink-colored leaf fruit in the middle, and it had no special scent.

This knowledge was worth a thousand pieces of gold for each piece.

"Just this one?" After Dugu Bo looked it up and down, he quickly recalled the introduction to the medicinal properties of this herb in his mind, "Xiao Quan, according to your introduction of its medicinal properties, this herb contains dark evil power inside. It seems to be a poisonous herb, right?"

"To be able to pass on the knowledge of these Immortal Herbs to you, this Zhuang Zhou must trust you," Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Quan, where is the Immortal Herb suitable for Yanzi?"

They had already witnessed the power and uniqueness of the Immortal Herbs from Shi Quan. If Dugu Yan were to consume an Immortal Herb, her future achievements would definitely not be weaker than Dugu Bo's.

He knew the importance of this knowledge; there were probably few people on the entire continent who could understand Immortal Herbs and Spirit Herbs in such detail.

Dugu Bo nodded, "You can just pick that Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone directly. Since this Zhuang Zhou trusts you so much, you naturally cannot let him down."

If nothing else, just one word: fast!

The journey that usually took about half an hour was shortened by half by him.

"This one."

Shi Quan also learned about other Immortal Herbs from Zhuang Zhou. As a condition of the exchange, Zhuang Zhou only hoped that when Shi Quan found the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, he would give this Immortal Herb to a friend of his.

"Yes!" Shi Quan nodded.

"Xiao Quan, since you have already recognized the Immortal Herbs and Spirit Herbs in my medicinal garden, are there any among these Immortal Herbs and Spirit Herbs that are suitable for our Yanzi?"

Hearing that there was an Immortal Herb suitable for Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo was even more excited than Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan also looked at Shi Quan with anticipation.

Shi Quan led the two of them to an ink-purple Immortal Herb.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Dugu Bo laughed, grabbed Dugu Yan and Shi Quan with both hands, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Dugu Yan also blinked her eyes at Shi Quan, looking expectant.

"Really?" The eyes of both Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo lit up at the same time.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them had already arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The scene changed rapidly.

"So, in order not to betray his trust, I hope Grandfather Dugu will allow me to pick that Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone."

"Grandfather Dugu, this Immortal Herb is called Xie Yue Dragon Tongue Orchid. It is indeed a highly poisonous Immortal Herb, but that does not mean it cannot be consumed. This Immortal Herb absorbs the essence of the dark moon, takes in dark evil power, and contains a certain Dragon Tribe Bloodline. Only women can consume it. If consumed, the dark moon power within will not only enhance Sister Yanzi's physical fitness, but the dark evil power can also amplify the intensity of Sister Yanzi's toxins. As for the Dragon Tribe Bloodline, it may even cause Sister Yanzi's martial soul to evolve and mutate."

"So powerful!" Dugu Bo stared at the Xie Yue Dragon Tongue Orchid on the ground, his eyes shining, "Xiao Quan, how should this Immortal Herb be consumed?"

"First, break open the middle leaf fruit and take out the Dragon Tongue in the center, then tear open the flesh of the surrounding moon leaves. Consume the Dragon Tongue first, and after its medicinal effect takes hold, consume the leaf flesh."

"The Dragon Tongue in the middle?" Dugu Bo raised his hand and slashed. A cut appeared on the ink-colored leaf fruit. Dugu Bo gently pried it open, and a crescent-shaped piece of silver fruit flesh emerged. It looked crystal clear, emitting silver light mist, and a strange fragrance also wafted out.

"Hold your breath, this fragrance is poisonous!" Dugu Bo raised his hand, and a jade-green halo radiated out, enveloping the fruit flesh. The surrounding fragrance immediately dissipated, but the silver light mist was actually corroding Dugu Bo's soul power!

"Xiao Quan, this fruit flesh looks like the poison sac of this Xie Yue Dragon Tongue Orchid, and the intensity of this toxin is a bit scary. Are you sure there is no problem?" Dugu Bo clicked his tongue. A normal person would see that this thing could not be eaten; the power of the toxin was not even weaker than his Jade Serpent Emperor Poison!

"Grandfather Dugu, rest assured," Shi Quan nodded with a smile, "The stronger the toxin, the greater the help it will be to Sister Yanzi. However, this process might be a bit painful. Sister Yanzi, you must be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, Xiao Quan, I will definitely be fine."

Dugu Yan's voice was firm, and Dugu Bo also smiled, "Hahaha, good, worthy of being a member of our Dugu family."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's fingers moved continuously, and all the leaf flesh of the Xie Yue Dragon Tongue Orchid was stripped off.

"Let's go, let's go outside first." After packing up all the leaf flesh, Dugu Bo grabbed the two of them and left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

In the cave opened up by Dugu Bo.

Dugu Yan sat cross-legged, "Grandfather, I am ready."

"Good." Dugu Bo nodded and handed the silver moon fruit flesh in his hand to Dugu Yan.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Yan opened her mouth and swallowed the fruit flesh in one gulp.

The next second, Dugu Yan's body trembled violently. Silver patterns spread from her cheeks, quickly covering her whole body along her meridians. Dugu Yan's body also began to spasm crazily, and she let out painful roars.

Dugu Bo watched this scene with heartache and anxiety, his gaze switching back and forth between Dugu Yan and Shi Quan, "Xiao Quan, how long exactly do we have to wait before Yanzi can consume the leaf flesh?"

"Grandfather Dugu, wait a little longer." Shi Quan stared fixedly at the silver patterns covering Dugu Yan's body. Gradually, the silver patterns began to deepen, turning into an ink color. Coupled with Dugu Yan's painfully twisted expression, she looked exceptionally terrifying and ferocious.

The ink color deepened, and a faint purple emerged from within the ink color.

"Grandfather Dugu, it's now, quickly give the fruit flesh to Sister Yanzi."

Just as Shi Quan's voice fell, Dugu Bo's figure instantly helped Dugu Yan up, "Yanzi, open your mouth quickly."

The twisted-looking Dugu Yan opened her mouth with difficulty, and Dugu Bo hurriedly fed the leaf flesh into Dugu Yan's mouth.

Once the leaf flesh entered her mouth, Dugu Yan's twisted expression relaxed a little. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dugu Bo hurriedly fed all the leaf flesh into Dugu Yan's mouth.

After eating all the leaf flesh, Dugu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still stared at Dugu Yan with a nervous expression.

After the leaf flesh entered her stomach, the purple patterns on the meridians covering Dugu Yan's body began to emit a faint halo.

Before long, Dugu Yan's body began to twitch and spasm crazily again.

"Grandfather Dugu, now the medicinal power is officially starting to take effect. Don't worry, Sister Yanzi will be fine," Shi Quan said to comfort him.

Dugu Bo nodded, his eyes filled with unconcealable worry. Dugu Yan had been spoiled by him since she was a child; how could he bear to see Dugu Yan suffer like this? But for Dugu Yan's future, he had to painfully watch his most beloved granddaughter wailing in front of him.

Time passed second by second. After a full hour, the purple radiance gradually dimmed, turning into a faint silver halo flowing within Dugu Yan's body. Dugu Yan's body also gradually returned to normal, lying flat on the ground, and her breathing gradually became steady.

"Grandpa Dugu, Yanzi's absorption has entered the right track. Don't worry, there won't be any issues from here on out."

"Whew!" Seeing this, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Dugu Yan on the ground with a pained heart and said, "That's good, that's good."

"Xiao Quan, how much help do you think this Xie Yue Dragon Tongue Orchid will be to Yan Yan?" Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan and asked.

"Hmm..." This question from Dugu Bo really stumped Shi Quan. After all, his own strength had increased so much back then because of the Ten Complete Great Replenishment Pill. Dugu Yan would certainly improve, but Shi Quan really couldn't gauge exactly how much.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Quan spoke up this time: "The effects of an Immortal Herb vary from person to person, but this Xie Yue Dragon Tongue Orchid will at least be able to help Yanzi break through to Level 40. An improvement in talent is certain, there is a certain possibility of a martial soul mutation, and it might even allow Yanzi's Fourth Spirit Ring to have a much higher absorption age limit."

"Hahaha, good, good, good." Dugu Bo was instantly beaming with joy.

"By the way, Xiao Quan, are there any of these Immortal Herbs that I can consume?"

"There are, but you have to wait until you solve the toxin problem in your body, Grandpa. However, this Immortal Herb won't provide much of an increase for you; it's more for consolidating your foundation and strengthening your origin, which can help you eliminate the effects that the toxins have brought upon your body over the long years." Shi Quan nodded.

"Good!" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He looked at Shi Quan with great interest and said, "I just happened to obtain a few prescriptions from the Break Clan that can force out and suppress toxins. If I combine them with the medicinal herbs you mentioned to draw out the toxins, then the toxin problem in my body should be solved very quickly."

"There shouldn't be a problem." Shi Quan paused, then looked at Dugu Bo seriously and asked, "However, Grandpa Dugu, after Yanzi absorbs the Immortal Herb, the changes in her strength will certainly arouse the suspicion of other forces. Most importantly, I want to let Lingling consume an Immortal Herb as well."

"That little one from the Nine Heart Begonia Family?" Dugu Bo nodded. "This is indeed a problem. After all, you alone are an accident, but if Yan Yan and Ye Lingling also consume Immortal Herbs one after another, and if the news about the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone I gifted gets out, the Three Upper Sects and the Spirit Hall will definitely set their sights on me..."
