Leaving Without So Much Pain!

What puzzled Dugu Bo was, how did Kong know about this?

Ever since Dugu Bo had been struck by lightning more than an hour ago, he had stopped treating this six-year-old child as a child.

But very few people should have known about the grudge between him and Ju Yueguan.

Wait, very few people knowing did not mean those in the heavens...

At that thought, Dugu Bo suddenly understood!

He was someone watched over by the gods as well!

Kong paid Dugu Bo no further attention and began inspecting the flowers and plants within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was extremely valuable, but at present, it was not particularly valuable to Kong.

These immortal herbs, however, were far more valuable to him.

Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo met each other's eyes. Neither of them disturbed Kong, merely watching him.

Yu Yuanzhen was still rather confused. He did not know where this thing Kong had mentioned that could increase one's strength was.

Other than being beautiful, this place seemed to serve no purpose.

Of course, if Soul Masters with water or fire attributes came here to cultivate, they would surely progress much faster than outside.

After wandering around for a while, Kong thought to himself, Thankfully, I know the characteristics of the immortal herbs here. Otherwise, this would be embarrassing.

These immortal-grade herbs had appearances reflected in their names.

For example, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that Kong had spotted first. He had never seen one before, but there was only one chrysanthemum in the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Then there was the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. It looked like an orchid and had eight petals...

The easiest to identify were actually the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Kong did not recognize them, but they were growing right within the Ice Spring and Fire Spring!

Only those two immortal herbs grew in the Ice Spring and Fire Spring. None of the other immortal-grade herbs could survive inside.

Finally, Kong found a Sweet Potato Vine. This sweet potato vine was golden and looked quite strange, but Kong felt that if there were not many sweet potatoes beneath it, Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo might start fighting!

This should be the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, right?

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon's other effects were unimportant. Its primary function was to enhance Dragon Clan bloodlines.

Nearly all the soul rings acquired by the direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan came from dragon-type soul beasts. The purpose was to cultivate secret techniques and enhance their own Dragon Clan bloodlines.

Once the power of one's Dragon Clan bloodline reached a certain level, one could use Dragon Transformation!

That was also the secret behind why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was known as the Number One Beast Martial Soul.

If Yu Yuanzhen knew the Earth Dragon Golden Melon's effects, his eyes would definitely turn red!

Before coming here, Kong had already decided which immortal herbs Yu Yuanzhen should consume.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb were the two immortal-grade herbs best suited for Yu Yuanzhen.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon would enhance Yu Yuanzhen's Dragon Clan bloodline, while the Soul Origin Immortal Herb would greatly increase his Soul Power. Combined with the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb's properties, it could make Soul Power cultivation easier.

At Yu Yuanzhen's level, the most important thing was the accumulation of Soul Power. If he consumed the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb, he could break through to the next stage more quickly.

"What does the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb look like?"

Kong wondered.

The other immortal-grade herbs all had more or less distinctive features, but he truly had no idea what the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb looked like!

"Process of elimination. If I eliminate the other immortal herbs, won't the one left be the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb?"

Kong slapped his forehead, feeling exceptionally clever.

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen did not know what Kong was thinking. If Kong got it wrong, Yu Yuanzhen might have to bid farewell to Douluo Continent.

Fortunately, Kong's luck was not bad. Perhaps guided by fate, he found the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb without error.

These immortal herbs were all ones Tang San had never taken in Douluo Continent I.

Yet they were indeed growing within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"By the way, why didn't Tang San give the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Yu Xiaogang? Why did he take the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma instead?"

Kong stroked his chin and wondered.

Perhaps Tang San simply did not know that Yu Xiaogang possessed a Dragon Clan bloodline?

Right, how could he question the relationship between master and disciple?

The Endless Fire Domain had that alchemist, but the Douluo God Realm did not have this theoretical Grandmaster.

After a while, Kong finally cast those strange thoughts from his mind. What did Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's relationship have to do with him?

What he feared now was Yu Yuanzhen softening his heart and sending the immortal herbs to his disappointing son. No matter what, Yu Xiaogang was Yu Yuanzhen's son.

After thinking for a moment, Kong came up with an idea.

"Vice Sect Master, I have two methods to help you remove the poison from your Martial Soul. I wonder what you think."

Kong walked over to Dugu Bo and said.

In the original story, Tang San had three methods—high, middle, and low—but Kong was not Tang San. He did not know the so-called middle and low methods.

"Young Sect Master, what are these methods?"

Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed. Was it finally beginning?

The time he had spent waiting earlier had felt like years!

If not for Kong's identity, and if Yu Yuanzhen had not been here, he would have been unable to resist asking long ago!

This was his last straw!

How could he not seize it?

Kong did not hide anything and said directly, "The first method is for me to consume the two great herbs in the Ice Spring and Fire Spring first. After refining them, I'll give some of my blood to you and your granddaughter. If you consume it while cultivating, you can guide the poison within your bodies into your soul bones during cultivation."

"This is the safest method. If you directly consume those two great herbs, your poison can likewise be cured, but all your cultivation would be gone as well."

Immortal-grade herbs? What immortal-grade herbs? They were merely "great herbs."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned, though he did not doubt the truth of Kong's method.

He was only lamenting the unpredictability of his fate. The things that could resolve his Martial Soul Poison had been right here all along, yet he had not known!

"Young Sect Master, what is the second method?"

Dugu Bo thought it over. The first method was feasible. If the poison were integrated into his soul bones, would he not cease being poisoned?

But...

"Vice Sect Master, you have been poisoned too deeply. If you use the first method, your granddaughter can perfectly resolve her Martial Soul Poison, but your poison cannot be completely removed."

"It can only let you live for a few more decades and leave without so much pain."

Dugu Bo: "..."

Kong really... he was truly too honest! Dugu Bo was crying inside!

"The second method is very simple. Grandfather, Vice Sect Master, both of you, come with me."

After saying that, Kong headed toward the Earth Dragon Golden Melon vine on his own.

Sweet potatoes were divided into vines and tubers, and immortal-grade ones were no exception.

Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo did not ask anything, following Kong over to the Earth Dragon Golden Melon vine.

Kong squatted down and began digging through the soil beneath the Earth Dragon Golden Melon vine. He was somewhat careful throughout the process, as though afraid of damaging whatever was underneath.

Before long, several golden fruits appeared before the three of them...
