Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

For now, the Premium Medicine he had was already enough for his use, so he would keep the news that he possessed a large number of Immortal Herbs under wraps.

These were treasures of the mortal world.

Although Spirit Hall was already the continent's foremost power, possessing such treasures would undoubtedly still provoke conflict.

"The remaining one is the forbidden poison our Breaking Clan uses in daily life—the Seven-Colored Splendid Poison."

Yang Wudi found it somewhat difficult to speak of, letting out a sigh.

"By rights, I should not have taken out this forbidden poison. But these Premium Medicines are simply too valuable; missing even one would make a considerable difference."

"It is concocted from seven precious medicinal ingredients in precise proportions. Once the poison takes effect, even a supreme antidote can only suppress it temporarily. When the backlash comes, it will only be even more violent."

Qian Renxin showed no disappointment.

He had no need for such a top-tier mixed poison at present.

But who knew whether it might come in handy someday? It was never wrong to be prepared.

"I'll accept these ten Premium Medicines. Clan Chief Yang, you should put away the precious herbs as well."

Yang Wudi accepted without ceremony, carefully putting the few premium medicinal herbs in his arms away, afraid of damaging them in the slightest.

Looking at those premium medicinal herbs, the joy in his heart grew stronger.

These herbs were enough for him to make even more Premium Medicines. Perhaps they could even help his strength rise another level.

"May I ask how long Clan Chief Yang will need to refine the Premium Medicines I commissioned?"

Qian Renxin pointed at the dozen or so precious herbs he had entrusted to him and asked.

Yang Wudi turned his head and gave an objective estimate.

"At least... a year. And that's assuming I enter seclusion and devote myself to it completely."

"That long?"

Qian Renxin asked with a frown.

Yang Wudi gave a bitter smile and explained, "You do not understand. These premium medicinal herbs are priceless and impossible to buy. They are recorded in medicinal texts, but this is still the first time I have seen them. Simply becoming familiar with the properties of each herb will take one or two months."

"Moreover, refining herbs of this level is extremely dangerous. Some of the ingredients may even be highly toxic. Used properly, they are medicine; used improperly, they become supreme poison. Even I could fall victim to them, so I must be exceedingly cautious."

Yang Wushuang, standing nearby, nodded to himself.

Refining medicine was no easy task. The formulas that had been developed were the culmination of untold painstaking effort from their predecessors.

Many master apothecaries had died while experimenting with new poisons and new formulas.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxin asked, "What if there were an Aromatic Silk Beauty? Could you refine these medicines within half a year?"

Aromatic Silk Beauty, Yang Wudi's Excitement

"Aromatic Silk Beauty?"

Yang Wudi's expression relaxed, and a trace of beautiful longing appeared on his stern face.

"That is the nemesis of all poisons, capable of neutralizing every toxin. Though it cannot directly cure poison, it can dispel all poisonous miasma. It is the Immortal Herb every medicine refiner dreams of possessing—without exception!"

His words grew impassioned, showing just how obsessed he was with the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

But after pausing in a daze, he sighed again.

"The Breaking Clan has searched for this premium medicinal herb ever since our founding. Unfortunately, we have never found the slightest clue. Who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago it last appeared on the continent..."

"If there truly is an Aromatic Silk Beauty, then forget half a year—even five months! I can refine all these medicinal ingredients into medicine!"

Qian Renxin nodded slightly.

Five months was an ideal timeframe within his expectations.

A year was simply too long. He definitely could not wait that long.

Seeing his reaction, Yang Wudi roughly guessed the answer and cautiously asked, "Could it be that Spirit Hall has an Aromatic Silk Beauty in its collection?"

"You guessed correctly. The Aromatic Silk Beauty is indeed in my possession."

Qian Renxin did not continue hiding it. He took out a pale pink flower.

It had no leaves, and its stem was three feet long. Every petal looked as clear and translucent as crystal, while the stamens resembled purple diamonds embedded within it.

The moment it appeared, a refreshing floral fragrance enveloped them, and even the air was filled with faint pink powder.

Yang Wudi staggered over to the large flower and examined it from every angle, muttering nonstop under his breath.

"Aromatic Silk Beauty... It really is... I searched for it my entire life. I never expected to see it like this..."

Even Yang Wushuang, who had been watching from the sidelines, could not help stepping closer.

To an alchemist, the value of this immortal herb was beyond measure. Even the more precious Yearning Heartbroken Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng could not compare to it.

"My lord, are you willing to sell this immortal herb to..."

Yang Wudi stopped halfway through his sentence and forcefully swallowed the rest.

The value of an immortal herb was nearly impossible to measure. It was a treasure unique in the world, beyond even soul bones.

Moreover, the Breaking Clan's Premium Medicine had already been used by him to trade for premium medicinal treasures, leaving their reserves even more depleted.

As for this Aromatic Silk Beauty, even if he gathered the entire clan's wealth, it would still be far from enough.

Qian Renxin guessed what he was thinking and spoke with a faint smile.

"Clan Chief Yang, haven't we yet discussed the terms for asking you to refine medicine? How about this—while you help me refine medicine, I can lend you the Aromatic Silk Beauty for your medicinal refinement and poison research. What do you think?"

"Good, good, good! No problem at all! This is simply wonderful!"

Yang Wudi agreed without hesitation.

This condition could be called a win-win situation.

He no longer dared to dream of possessing the Aromatic Silk Beauty for himself. Being able to use it for poison research in his daily life was already an immense blessing.

As for the payment for refining medicine, at most it would be some Gold Soul Coins. How could that compare to the right to use the Aromatic Silk Beauty?

After leaving the Aromatic Silk Beauty in Yang Wudi's care and agreeing on a date to collect the medicine, Qian Renxin and the others promptly left the Breaking Clan.

"Brother, did you finish negotiating the business? I want to go into the city and play..."

Qian Renxue boredly swung Qian Renxin's arm.

As for things like medicinal refinement deals, she had no interest in them at all.

What she wanted was to stroll around Heaven Dou City and have fun.

Qian Renxin vigorously rubbed her little golden head and said with a smile, "Alright. Since the medicine business has been settled for now, and we've been traveling nonstop lately, let's rest in Heaven Dou City for a day."

"Yay!"

Qian Renxue was the first to run off.

Bibi Dong followed behind with a suppressed laugh, keeping an eye on her so she would not get lost.

In terms of prosperity, Heaven Dou City was somewhat inferior to Spirit City.

But every place had its own unique charm.

Thus, Qian Renxue, who had left Spirit City for the first time, was quite interested.

Holding a candied hawthorn skewer in one hand, she wandered back and forth along the streets.

Under Qian Daoliu's personal upbringing, she had not developed any spoiled young lady habits. Even roadside jewelry and hairpins meant for ordinary people kept her happily trying them on.

"Brother, have some."

Qian Renxue held out the candied hawthorn skewer before Qian Renxin's mouth. Two pieces had already been eaten from it.

Qian Renxin bit off one piece. The sweet and sour flavors mingled together, and it was fairly good.

This was a snack shop in Heaven Dou City, so there was no need to worry about the ingredients or hygiene. If they truly dared to use inferior goods, any soul master they encountered might overturn their stall.

Qian Renxue fed another piece to Bibi Dong before eating the rest herself.

After wandering around for a while, they arrived before the Heaven Dou Auction House.

The towering circular building stood in the center of Heaven Dou City. To possess such a large plot of land in this extravagantly expensive district showed that its strength and connections were anything but ordinary.

It was said that even imperial princes often patronized this place, and it was reputed that as long as one had money, anything here could be obtained!

Qian Renxue became interested.

The Heaven Dou Auction House was one of the continent's foremost auction venues. She had heard Qian Daoliu mention it before, but this was her first time seeing it in person.

"Brother, shall we go in and take a look?"

"Sure. It's my first time here too."

Qian Renxin did not refuse.

He also wanted to know just how high the prices of the premium medicinal treasures from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were in the outside world.

After all, there were quite a few medicinal treasures of this grade in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he could not possibly use them all himself.

If the price was right, he could exchange some for resources such as soul bones and Soul Tools.

As they climbed the auction house steps, the guards stopped them and respectfully asked, "My lords, please present either ten thousand Gold Soul Coins or an item for auction worth over one thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Qian Renxin nodded.

This was the Heaven Dou Auction House's rule; it was not because they were looking down on him, He took out a deposit note for one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins from his Spatial Soul Tool.

"Hope you enjoy your time here."

The guard bowed respectfully, tied a red ribbon around his chest, then immediately stepped aside to welcome him in.

The auction house was decorated mainly in red and white, fresh and elegant. Two rows of attendants stood on either side of the entrance, specifically tasked with guiding distinguished guests to their respective floors.

One row consisted of ordinary attendants, dressed appropriately.

The other row stood against the wall. They were all women, dressed rather scantily—wearing only camisoles on top, with black miniskirts and different styles of stockings below.

Their faces could not be seen because they wore masks, but judging solely by their slender figures, they could not have looked bad.

Different attendants came with different prices, and the latter naturally cost far more.

Qian Renxin quickly covered Qian Renxue's eyes. He was not at all surprised by the sight.

In a world ruled by empires, what use was a pretty face? Only those who awakened Soul Master talent had a chance to defy fate and change their lives.

Otherwise, for ordinary people, exceptional beauty would only reduce them to playthings.

Qian Renxin quickly chose an ordinary attendant and left the area.

The attendant he chose was also a woman, no older than twenty. Her figure was no worse than those special attendants'.

However, she was a Soul Elder-level Soul Master. It was precisely because of that that she had avoided such a tragic fate.

After leaving the reception hall, Qian Renxue asked Bibi Dong curiously, "Mom, what were those older sisters doing just now?"

Even though Qian Renxin had tried to block her view, she had still caught a few glimpses when they first entered.
