Why Take Medicine If You're Not Sick

Chapter 40: Why Take Medicine If You're Not Sick!

Dugu Yan's current soul power is Level Thirty-Eight.

Long Chen had told Dugu Bo that the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone could not only control the spread of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in Dugu Yan's body but also increase her soul power, helping her directly break through to Level Forty.

Dugu Bo found it incredible, yet he was also very expectant.

He believed Long Chen.

Because at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Long Chen had made him absorb that Ninth Grade Purple Zhi, which allowed his soul power, stagnant for many years, to achieve a breakthrough and reach Level Ninety-Two.

With the aid of special herbs, even a Title Douluo like himself could achieve a breakthrough, let alone Dugu Yan, who was at the Battle Soul Elder level.

Dugu Bo followed Long Chen to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's room and smiled.

"Yanyan, your training at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena is over, right?"

"Yes, Teacher Qin said he would take us back to the academy tomorrow."

"Let them go back first tomorrow, we'll go somewhere else."

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, looking confused.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"I'll take you to hunt soul beasts to help you obtain your Fourth Soul Ring."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I'm only Level Thirty-Eight, how can I obtain my Fourth Soul Ring?"

Dugu Bo chuckled and looked at Long Chen beside him.

"I don't know either, ask this kid, he has a way."

Dugu Yan became even more confused and anxious.

"Grandpa, Long Chen, what are you two keeping from me? Stop joking."

"Alright, let's get down to business."

After Long Chen finished speaking, he took out the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

"Yanzi, this herb is something I specially prepared for you. It can not only detoxify you but also help you increase your soul power."

Looking at the white and crystal clear flower, spotless as if it were a blue lotus with white roots, Dugu Yan found it hard to believe.

"It does look a bit different from ordinary flowers and plants. Perhaps it can really detoxify my body, but you say it can increase my soul power? That's unlikely."

"Don't underestimate it. This is not an ordinary flower or plant, but an Immortal Grade Herb. It has the effect of moisturizing tendons, strengthening bones, and clearing the Seven Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Vessels."

Seeing Long Chen's serious expression, Dugu Yan no longer doubted him. She took the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone and said with a smile:

"Long Chen, of course I believe you. I was just joking. So, how do I..."

"When consuming it, only eat the petals, then suck the stamen, and then use your soul power to activate it. Calm your mind and absorb its medicinal effect."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you!"

Dugu Yan took the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone and walked to a corner to sit down.

Following Long Chen's method, she consumed the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone and then activated her soul power to absorb its medicinal effect.

"Lingling, you don't need to return to the academy with the team tomorrow. I haven't seen Uncle and Auntie for over a year. I want to go home and see them. You should come back with me."

"Okay."

Long Chen had immortal herbs to give to Ye Lingling, but it wasn't appropriate to do so in front of Dugu Bo.

This was because the Aromatic Silk Beauty could greatly increase Ye Lingling's soul power, and might even trigger her Martial Soul Evolution.

Long Chen had also prepared immortal herbs for the Ye Tianming Couple and planned to take Ye Lingling back to their home in Heaven Dou City to give them the immortal herbs together.

Dugu Yan closed her eyes and concentrated, fully immersing herself in absorbing the medicinal effect of the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone.

As time passed, streams of warm and mellow power flowed through her body, bringing her unprecedented comfort and fullness.

When the last trace of medicinal effect was completely absorbed, Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, surprise flashing in them.

"Grandpa, Long Chen, I've really broken through to Level Forty! This is incredible!"

Dugu Yan stood up, emitting a completely new aura, as if she had undergone a metamorphosis.

Her azure green eyes looked clearer and brighter, no longer as turbid as before.

Her skin tone looked healthier, and she seemed more energetic.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo's face broke into a joyful smile.

He patted Long Chen's shoulder and praised:

"Good kid, you really didn't disappoint me. The effect of this Narcissus Jade Skin Bone is even more astonishing than I imagined."

Long Chen smiled and nodded, also happy for Dugu Yan's breakthrough.

"According to my guess, part of the immortal herb's medicinal effect was used to cleanse the toxins in your body, and the other part helped to increase your soul power, bringing you at least a five-level increase. However, you haven't obtained your Fourth Soul Ring yet, so the excess soul power cannot be precisely sensed. When you obtain your Fourth Soul Ring, combined with the soul power from the soul ring's enhancement, your soul power should reach around Level Forty-Four."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes widened.

"From Level Thirty-Eight to Level Forty-Four? A six-level jump?"

"Correct, even more than that."

Dugu Yan's face was filled with excitement and confidence:

"Long Chen, thank you, this gift is truly too precious!"

Dugu Bo's face was also filled with a smile.

"Yanyan, tomorrow I will take you to Hunt Soul Beasts to help you Obtain your Fourth Soul Ring."

"Okay."

Long Chen reminded:

"Yanzi, don't tell anyone about you taking the immortal herb for now."

"Why? Not even our teammates?"

Long Chen shook his head.

"This concerns the safety of your Grandpa's Medicine Garden, the fewer people who know, the better."

"Okay, I understand."

Dugu Yan suddenly thought of something and said mischievously:

"Long Chen, are there any medicinal herbs suitable for Tianheng?"

Dugu Bo glanced at Dugu Yan.

"That Kid isn't sick, why would he eat medicine?!"

"Aiya, Grandpa, I was just asking casually."

"Alright, you two should rest early. We'll depart tomorrow morning."

"Mm, got it."

Long Chen and Dugu Bo returned to their rooms.

The improvement the immortal herb brought to Dugu Yan put Dugu Bo in a great mood.

"Kid, tell me honestly, those medicinal herbs you picked from my Medicine Garden, do they all have the effect of increasing soul power?"

Long Chen grinned.

"Some do, some don't. The effects of each medicinal herb are different and vary from person to person."

"Fine. They're all yours, what else can I say."

"Rest assured, I will guard that medicine garden with you,"

Dugu Bo smiled and nodded.

"I naturally trust you."

Long Chen thought of something.

"Brother Bo, Teacher Qin Ming once graduated from Shrek Academy. He might bring the Shrek Seven Devils into the Royal Academy. We might meet them in the academy then. If Yanzi encounters them."

Dugu Bo understood Long Chen's meaning and chuckled dismissively.

"Those Wai Gua Lie Zao want to enter the Royal Academy? Rest assured, they won't get in."

The next morning, Dugu Bo left with Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan did not tell Qin Ming and the teammates about her soul power improvement.

She only said she had something to do and needed to leave for a while.

Long Chen accompanied the team. When they were not far from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he used the excuse of returning to his home in Heaven Dou City and left with Ye Lingling.
