Lakesius was a flying Agility Attack Type Soul Douluo. He inherently possessed the ability to fly, and if he wanted to escape, most Title Douluo would have no way to stop him.
Just as Lakesius was about to release his martial soul and take Neuvillette down, he froze slightly. Neuvillette was "walking on air," "flying" downward.
"???"
Come on, at least release your martial soul and put up a disguise!
The corner of Lakesius's eye twitched. He rubbed his forehead slightly and muttered helplessly.
Walking through the air without even releasing his martial soul—could a Title Douluo do something like that?
That was a question!
Shaking his head, Lakesius finally released his martial soul and flew downward.
The height was not particularly great, only around a thousand meters. If an ordinary person or a low-level soul master fell from there, it would almost certainly mean death.
But to the three of them, it was not a problem at all.
Dugu Bo landed first. He subconsciously looked toward Neuvillette, and the sight gave him a fright!
Good heavens, he had not released his martial soul, yet there was a trace of Soul Power fluctuation—not much, but he could still walk through the air!
Even Dugu Bo could only glide, while this fellow was genuinely flying!
Swallowing hard, Dugu Bo felt that not losing his temper earlier had been an extremely wise choice.
If he had, who knew who would have ended up teaching whom a lesson!
"The Treasure Land is right here. As long as you can solve the problem with Yan Zi and me, this place will belong to you!"
Dugu Bo spoke with a serious expression and an unwavering tone, without the slightest reluctance.
Compared to worldly possessions, he cared more about his Granddaughter.
"Rest assured. Although I know absolutely nothing about medicinal principles..."
Dugu Bo: "???"
His mind was full of question marks. What the hell?
What did he mean, he knew absolutely nothing about medicinal principles?
"But please rest assured, Your Excellency Dugu. I happen to know how to solve the problem affecting you and your Granddaughter."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Neuvillette suspiciously. He had nearly started cursing just now...
Fortunately, Neuvillette had continued quickly. Otherwise, Dugu Bo's anger would already have boiled over!
Ignoring the bewildered Dugu Bo, Neuvillette examined the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on his own.
He truly did not recognize most of these Immortal Herbs. He only remembered a few particularly distinctive ones.
The two Immortal Herbs in the Ice Spring and Fire Spring were far too recognizable: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
There was no need to mention Immortal Herbs like the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. They were simply too easy to identify.
He could identify all the most important Immortal Herbs. As for certain poisonous herbs, he was completely at a loss.
He did not possess the memories from his time as Neuvillette. Besides, the flowers and plants of Teyvat Continent differed enormously from the Immortal Herb vegetation here.
"Hiss—"
"Th-this is..."
At that moment, Lakesius cried out in shock. What had he seen?!
A whole garden of Immortal Herbs and divine medicines!
Others might not recognize them, but the Eight Great Families, with their long inheritances, had records of certain things from "legends."
(Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan recognized Immortal Herbs, which meant this world had records of them!)
It was simply that they were not accepted or understood by most soul masters.
"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid!"
"Th-there's even an Aromatic Silk Beauty here???"
Neuvillette paused at those words and glanced at Lakesius in surprise.
The old man actually recognized these Immortal Herbs?
"Heavens, so this is how the legendary Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot grow!"
Arriving beside the Ice and Fire springs, Lakesius stared at the two Immortal Herbs within them, his eyes shining.
All right, Neuvillette could finally be certain. The old man truly recognized these things, and he even knew their value. Perhaps not much, but it should be enough.
If he did not know their value, the old man would not be wearing such a ghost-struck expression!
The last time he had seen that expression had been on the day of his Spirit Awakening...
"Grandfather, help me find where the Earth Dragon Golden Gourds are. Your Excellency Dugu and his Granddaughter need them to solve the problems with their martial souls."
Neuvillette said bluntly.
Upon hearing that, both Dugu Bo and Lakesius were stunned. The former was stunned because the thing that could solve the problem with their martial souls was here?
The latter was stunned for a different reason.
"Earth Dragon Golden Gourds?"
Lakesius murmured, seeming to recall something before suddenly realizing. "So that's it!"
"If there really are Earth Dragon Golden Gourds here, then they truly can solve the problem with Your Excellency Dugu's martial soul."
"Evolving the martial soul from its very foundation would naturally prevent the poisoning..."
"For soul masters with dragon martial souls, Earth Dragon Golden Gourds are priceless treasures. For those with snake martial souls, they are even more..."
"Cough, cough. Grandfather, why don't you first check whether there are any Earth Dragon Golden Gourds?"
Neuvillette coughed twice, interrupting Lakesius. He could not wait another moment!
"Hah, if you don't want to listen, then forget it. Learning more is still useful!"
Lakesius shook his head and sighed.
Dugu Bo: "..."
He didn't want to listen, but I do! Why don't you keep talking?!
Although Dugu Bo's Soul Power Level was higher than Lakesius's, when it came to family inheritance, Dugu Bo was far inferior to him.
Most of these things were closely guarded secrets passed down within families.
Dugu Bo was deeply frustrated. Lakesius's reaction made him realize one thing: none of the things here were simple!
Unfortunately, he lacked knowledge! He lacked inheritance!
He did not know the value of these things!
Dugu Bo felt like crying, yet there was nothing he could do. Words spoken were like water spilled—there was absolutely no taking them back!
"Getting them would be my fortune; losing them would be my fate. If they can save Yan Yan, then this place will have served its purpose!"
Thinking that way, although Dugu Bo still ached over it, he no longer felt quite so devastated.
Before long, there was movement from Lakesius's side.
"Here! Here!"
Before Neuvillette could react, Dugu Bo shot toward Lakesius like an arrow loosed from a bow, instantly appearing beside him.
Before them were several golden sweet potato vines. Earth Dragon Golden Gourds were also sweet potatoes, so naturally, they grew beneath the soil.
If there were sweet potato vines, that meant the Earth Dragon Golden Gourds were in the soil below.
"These are the sweet potato vines of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourds. As for how many Earth Dragon Golden Gourds are beneath them, I have no idea."
Lakesius spread his hands and spoke to Dugu Bo.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Dugu Bo was beside himself with urgency and immediately began digging. He used no tools whatsoever, digging directly with his hands!
What if he accidentally injured this life-saving treasure with a tool?
Neuvillette and Lakesius exchanged a glance. Neither of them disturbed Dugu Bo as he dug through the soil...
