Two Immortal Herbs
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, his eyes full of conceit.
"I have spent decades of my life painstakingly studying the path of poison. My attainments in it can be said to be the greatest on the entire Douluo Continent."
"Only I can cure his poison!"
After all, Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo.
Even if he was called the weakest Douluo, his strength remained beyond doubt.
Qian Renxue had reacted quickly just now, but she still hadn't completely blocked Dugu Bo's sneak attack, allowing Tang San to be struck.
"You..."
Qian Renxue's eyes widened. She immediately held Tang San, her face full of concern.
"Are you all right, Little San?"
Ahead of them, Gui Mei and Yue Guan had already charged up to Dugu Bo, but after hearing his words, they forcibly stopped themselves from striking.
The two slammed to a halt in front of Dugu Bo and stared at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Hadn't things just gone to hell?
Gui Mei and Yue Guan had originally intended to use this opportunity to put on a good show before Qian Renxue and curry favor with the Worship Hall.
Although they had always followed Bibi Dong, their treatment was only a little better than that of ordinary elders, and not by much.
Naturally, neither of them would pass up a chance to climb higher.
But now, they realized they seemed to have botched things.
Seeing the two stop, Dugu Bo burst out laughing again.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, you damned old ghost, what use is having stronger Soul Power than me?"
"The path of poison is meant for the weak to defeat the strong!"
As he spoke, he glared at them.
"That boy can probably hold out against the poison for about another week. Leave at once, and I can act as though nothing happened and hand over the antidote."
"Otherwise... Hmph!"
Dugu Bo's face was full of confidence.
When the four from Spirit Hall had first appeared, he had sensed that the one with the weakest Soul Power must hold a high position. Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared together with the other three.
Now that his attack had succeeded, seeing how wary the others were of acting only made Dugu Bo more certain of his judgment.
"It's all right." Tang San looked at the intensely anxious Qian Renxue and smiled.
Wasn't it just poison?
He made it sound so formidable.
After transmigrating here, he had inherited most of Great God King Tang's memories.
Tang San knew everything about the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Hidden Weapons, and so on.
That naturally included methods of curing poison!
Tang San looked into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and slowly spoke.
"Don't worry about me. I can cure his poison."
With that, he slowly walked toward the herbs beside the Extreme Cold Yin Spring in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Soon, Tang San came to a stop before a white herb.
At the top of the white herb was what looked like a large, eight-pointed white flower, with a crystalline center in which tiny stamens sparkled.
The herb gave off no fragrance, and it stood at the very center of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring's side.
It was one of the Immortal Herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!
By now, Tang San was circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body at full force, and a thin layer of white mist had appeared on the surface of his skin.
He was enduring the onslaught of extreme cold Qi, his body trembling constantly.
Tang San drew a dagger and slashed fiercely, retreating quickly at the same time.
Swish!
The large, eight-pointed white flower fell at the sound, landing among the herbs.
In an instant, a chill spread out, coating the surrounding herbs in a thin layer of white frost.
After cutting down the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Tang San didn't linger there, but ran swiftly to the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He stopped at the center of the scorching Yang Spring.
This time, his target was a plant shaped like a cabbage, but fiery red all over.
The Infernal Delicate Apricot!
Seeing Tang San's actions, Dugu Bo's gaze shifted and his lips moved. He was just about to step forward when he felt three waves of killing intent lock onto him at once.
Beside him, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Qian Renxue were staring fixedly at him.
Dugu Bo knew that if he made any move, the three of them would strike without hesitation.
Qian Renxue's eyes brimmed with killing intent as vast as the sky as she forced out a few words through clenched teeth.
"Dugu Bo, listen carefully."
"I swear in the name of the Angel God, if anything happens to Little San, I'll make you pay tenfold!"
"Not just your family and your friends-everything connected to you, I'll personally destroy to avenge Little San!"
Qian Renxue's heart was now full of regret. She regretted that she hadn't been able to protect Tang San.
She had already missed out on everything in her previous life.
If she still let something happen to Tang San right under her nose in this life, Qian Renxue really would go mad on the spot.
Hearing Qian Renxue's threat, even Dugu Bo, who had seen much and weathered countless storms, couldn't help but feel his eyelid twitch and a trace of fear rise in his heart.
He could tell that Qian Renxue wasn't bluffing!
At the same time, stormy waves surged through Dugu Bo's heart.
Swearing in the name of the Angel God, and so young?
It seems there's only one person in Spirit Hall who would dare say that.
At the thought, the corners of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.
Surely he couldn't be so unlucky as to offend Qian Daoliu's granddaughter right off the bat.
Rumor had it that Qian Daoliu, the Limit Douluo who was invincible beneath the heavens, had a granddaughter with extraordinary talent.
Now that he thought about it, she was the beautiful woman before him.
It looks like I'll have to find a new place as soon as I send them away.
What a joke. No matter how arrogant Dugu Bo was, he didn't think he could stand against Qian Daoliu.
His gaze fell on Tang San, a hint of puzzlement in his eyes as well.
As Dugu Bo saw it, no one on the entire Douluo Continent whose strength was below his could possibly cure his poison!
With a thought from Tang San, two strands of Blue Silver Grass whipped out.
On closer inspection, the Blue Silver Grass was visibly different from the kind found everywhere, each strand thick-leaved and strong-rooted, and incomparably tough.
The Soul Rings circling his body also startled the three Titled Douluo present.
Purple, purple, black, black!
Even as Titled Douluo, this was the first time any of them had seen such a heaven-defying Soul Ring combination.
No wonder Qian Renxue values him so highly...
The same thought rose in the minds of all three.
Ahead of them, the two strands of Blue Silver Grass had already wrapped around the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, carrying the two Immortal Herbs toward Tang San.
As they drew close to Tang San, the two strands of Blue Silver Grass severed themselves at their bases, and the two Immortal Herbs traced graceful arcs through the air.
Quick-eyed and quick-handed, Tang San caught both Immortal Herbs.
Without any hesitation, he stuffed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot into his mouth at the same time, shoving in great mouthfuls.
Both Immortal Herbs were highly poisonous, but because they counteracted each other, they could be consumed.
Tang San immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
He knew he had to digest the two Immortal Herbs at once!
