Gifting a Soul Bone, Consuming Immortal Herbs
Looking across the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, countless herbs grew here. Although there were only a few Immortal Grade Herbs, there were quite a number of Supreme Medicinal Herbs.
Besides the unmistakable immortal herbs, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, Dai Weisi also spotted immortal herbs such as Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and Aromatic Silk Beauty.
Two of those immortal herbs seemed to possess some kind of magic, drawing Dai Weisi to pluck them.
The first was an enormous chrysanthemum, its petals a gorgeous purple.
Strangely, every single petal looked fluffy and exceptionally adorable.
The entire chrysanthemum seemed perfectly unified, yet it gave off no fragrance whatsoever. Its central stamen stood more than half a foot above the petals, its tip gleaming with a faint golden light.
"This is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
Dai Weisi exclaimed in delight. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was undoubtedly the immortal herb best suited to him. Consuming it would nourish the limbs, unblock the eight meridians, and allow one to cultivate an Indestructible Body!
"However, though it is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, it differs somewhat from Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul was also the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, but its petals were sharp as blades, like countless flying knives, completely unlike the soft and fluffy Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum before him.
He must have absorbed too many soul rings that enhanced the Tenacity attribute, causing his martial soul to mutate to a certain extent and become incomparably hard.
It was like how Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had changed color after absorbing soul rings. Not only had its toughness increased, but it had also gained poisonous properties.
That was why Dugu Bo had fought Chrysanthemum Douluo many times without realizing that the immortal herb before him was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Dai Weisi immediately plucked the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and stored it in his Soul Guidance Ring, then turned his gaze toward the other Immortal Grade Herb that had drawn him in.
Somehow, Dai Weisi felt that this immortal herb was even more important to him. It was an Earth Yellow melon-like plant, looking somewhat like a pumpkin and somewhat like a winter melon. He wondered how sweet its flesh might be.
From this melon-shaped immortal herb, Dai Weisi sensed an extremely pure Earth Force. He murmured, "This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, one of the Six Great Plant-type Ferocious Beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ten thousand years from now!"
The Earth Dragon Golden Melon was a natural treasure of Douluo Continent. It possessed the power to turn the earth like a dragon and was an earth-element Immortal Grade Herb.
If absorbed, it would allow the consumer to better control Earth Force!
Earth gave rise to gold. Extreme earth-element power could produce the killing force of the gold element, which was why this immortal herb was called the "Earth Dragon Golden Melon."
Dai Weisi's Evil Eyed White Tiger martial soul had inherited precisely that gold-element killing power. Thus, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon would still be immensely useful to him. Perhaps it could improve his Spirit Soul Quality and grant him the Ultimate Gold attribute.
With that thought, Dai Weisi hurriedly plucked the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and put it away.
"Well, young friend, isn't this old man's Herb Garden not bad?" Dugu Bo's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Dai Weisi's excitement.
"Not bad. These herbs are all priceless, and there are many that even I don't recognize."
Dai Weisi was not lying. Apart from the Immortal Grade Herbs and the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma, he did not recognize a single one of the other herbs.
It seemed he would have to visit the Breaking Clan sometime. The Breaking Clan specialized in alchemy and knew the properties of all kinds of herbs inside and out. Perhaps they had an Immortal Herb Compendium he could use for reference.
"Young friend, do you think these herbs can remove the toxins from this old man's body?"
"Of course they can!" Dai Weisi nodded, brimming with confidence, before abruptly changing the subject. "However, Senior, I must remind you of something. The poison in your body originates from your martial soul's source. If it is removed, I fear your entire poison cultivation will be ruined. Are you willing to accept that?"
"What? This..."
Dugu Bo froze. All his strength lay in his poison cultivation. Without his deadly poison, he would not be much stronger than a Soul Douluo.
Seeing Dugu Bo's hesitation, Dai Weisi said at the right moment, "It seems Senior is unwilling to give up his poison cultivation. Then we can only use the final method."
"There's another way?" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up as he cried out, "Could it be that this final method will let this old man retain his poison cultivation without harming his body?"
"Correct."
"Young friend, quickly tell me. What method is it?"
Dai Weisi explained, "It is actually quite simple. If Senior has a soul bone, you can store the toxins inside it. In that way, the poison within your body will no longer threaten you!"
"Brilliant! This method is brilliant! How did I not think of it?" Dugu Bo was overjoyed upon hearing this. He happened to possess a Medusa Soul Bone, perfect for transferring the deadly poison in his body into it.
"Senior, I'm not finished yet! Although a soul bone can store toxins, its capacity is ultimately limited. Once it is full and the toxins overflow, they will likely still affect you.
"If it is a limb bone, it would be manageable—you could simply sever the limb. But if it is a skull bone or a Torso Bone, then the consequences would be severe!"
"Ah, this..."
Dugu Bo was seized by a wave of lingering fear. If the poison in his body entered his brain, he would surely die.
"However, Senior need not worry. I have a ten-thousand-year poison-element Torso Bone. One of its Soul Bone Abilities can compress toxins and use a gu-raising method to cultivate even stronger poison. I believe it would suit Senior very well."
As he spoke, Dai Weisi took out the Torso Bone and handed it to Dugu Bo. "After absorbing this soul bone, Senior will be able to turn poison to your own use. From then on, no poison will be able to harm you, and your strength will increase greatly as well."
"What? This..." Staring at the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone before him, Dugu Bo's heart instantly burned with desire. He hurriedly asked, "Young friend, are you truly planning to give such a precious soul bone to me?"
"Of course. I am not a poison-element soul master, so this soul bone is useless to me."
"Then this old man must thank you, young friend. Rest assured, I will not accept your soul bone for nothing. If you ever need help in the future, I will certainly not stand by and do nothing."
"Then I thank you, Senior." Dai Weisi was secretly delighted. This counted as recruiting a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse for the Star Luo Empire.
"Senior may begin absorbing the soul bone."
"No! This old man wishes to save it for my granddaughter. That way, she can become even stronger!"
Dai Weisi frowned and suggested, "Senior, this Soul Bone Ability can not only be used on oneself, but can also condense the deadly poison in another person's body into stronger poison.
"Therefore, I suggest that Senior absorb this soul bone yourself, then help Miss Dugu Yan transfer the poison in her body into the soul bone.
"If Miss Dugu Yan absorbs the soul bone instead, your poison cultivation is far too domineering. With her strength, she likely cannot condense your toxins into stronger poison, and you will have to continue suffering."
"Mm... What you say does make some sense. Very well, this old man will absorb this soul bone." With that, Dugu Bo began releasing Soul Power to absorb the soul bone.
At the same time, Dai Weisi did not remain idle. He walked to one side and began consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
He first ate the Sky-reaching stamen, then slowly consumed the petals. After spitting out the stem, he sat cross-legged and began cultivating on the spot, refining the herb's medicinal power.
