Taking Immortal Herbs! Nine-Colored Snake God Flower! Earth Dragon Golden Melon! Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew!

"Since Your Excellency Poison Douluo agrees, then it's settled."

Seeing how readily Dugu Bo agreed, Taichu smiled as well. He had come to find Dugu Bo for the immortal herbs. If he failed to obtain them, this trip would have been for nothing.

Fortunately, Dugu Bo was a generous man.

Of course.

Part of it might also have been because Taichu had treated him sincerely. He had revealed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without holding anything back and had even brought out the Immortal Herb Illustrated Guide. Taichu refused to believe that such sincerity could not earn Dugu Bo's goodwill.

Sure enough.

The other man had been moved by his sincerity, his favorability rising sharply, and had personally brought him here to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As for whether the man would kill him to keep his mouth shut?

Of course not.

If Dugu Bo intended to silence him, he would not have brought Dugu Yan along.

So Taichu felt completely at ease.

"Among these seventeen immortal herbs, one is especially suitable for you two to consume. However, there is only one of it, so you'll have to decide for yourselves who gets it."

Taichu sighed. Their Martial Souls shared the same origin, but there was only one immortal herb. One of them had to be chosen.

"Then let Yanyan consume it!"

Without a word, Dugu Bo made his decision.

"Grandfather, your condition is far more serious than mine. You should use it instead!"

Dugu Yan frowned.

"Yanyan! You're younger and have greater potential. Only by consuming the immortal herb best suited to you will your future become broader."

Dugu Bo began persuading her.

Having read the Immortal Herb Illustrated Guide, he naturally understood how precious immortal herbs were. He was already a Titled Douluo; even if he consumed the herb most suitable for him, how many more steps could he really take?

On the other hand.

His granddaughter was younger and not lacking in talent. If she consumed an immortal herb that suited her best, why couldn't the Dugu Family produce another Titled Douluo in the future? If that truly happened, he would laugh in his dreams.

"I don't want it!"

Dugu Yan spoke with absolute firmness.

Seeing his granddaughter like this, Dugu Bo knew that ordinary persuasion would likely be useless, which gave him quite a headache.

When his peripheral vision caught Taichu beside him, an idea suddenly came to him.

"Yanyan, there are so many immortal herbs here. There must be others suitable for Grandfather. Solving the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in my body will definitely be more than manageable, so you needn't worry about it."

"Besides, I'm doing this for your own good. Look at this kid—he's so handsome, like some pretty boy, and his talent is so strong. If the two of you end up together someday and you aren't strong enough, what if he goes around flirting with other women? But if you're stronger, wouldn't he lack the nerve to do that?"

The moment those words came out.

"Grandfather—!!!"

Dugu Yan's face reddened as she cried out in embarrassment and indignation.

Most of her favorable impression of Taichu came from the Soul Bone Poison Storage Method he had given her before. After seeing his face today, she had been utterly stunned by his beauty, so as someone obsessed with looks, her favorability toward Taichu had been shooting upward.

But that did not mean she had already decided so quickly that they would definitely be together in the future and go that far!

However.

She glanced at Taichu twice, her brows drawn tightly together.

It seemed Grandfather's words made a little sense!

He was so handsome.

And his talent was so powerful!

If they got together and she was not strong enough, what if Taichu relied on that handsome face to flirt around everywhere? Would she not be left weeping for the rest of her life?

After pondering for a moment.

"Uh! Grandfather, I think what you said makes sense too. Let's do as you said!"

Dugu Yan abruptly changed her tune, nearly throwing out Dugu Bo's old back.

Although this was what he wanted, his granddaughter's answer had been so decisive that it still stung a little!

"It's all this kid's fault!"

Dugu Bo's sharp gaze landed on Taichu's face.

"No, it was bad enough that this old man slandered me as a pretty boy. Fine, he even slandered me by saying I'd rely on this handsome face to flirt around in the future. But what was the point of glaring at me too?"

Taichu genuinely found Dugu Bo's behavior utterly baffling.

However.

He felt that he should quickly resolve Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's problems first, so he could begin consuming the immortal herbs he needed.

"The Nine-Colored Snake God Flower is said in legend to be an immortal herb grown from the Snake God's own blood. This kind of immortal herb should be more effective for snake-type Martial Souls, so it is most suitable for you to consume. Remember, after picking it, pluck off the petals and consume them one by one."

"As for Your Excellency, that top-grade earth-element immortal herb over there, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, is also suitable for you. As the saying goes, a snake becomes a python after a hundred years, a flood dragon after a thousand years, and a true dragon after ten thousand years. Snakes and dragons are connected in the end. After consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, resolving the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in your body during your Martial Soul Evolution will be no problem at all."

At this point, Taichu shook his head as well.

"It really is somewhat wasteful for you to use this immortal herb. If it were given to someone whose Martial Soul possessed both earth and dragon attributes, it could completely transform their Martial Soul into the continent's most top-tier Martial Soul."

Thump—!!!

The more Dugu Bo listened, the more displeased he became, until he reached out and smacked the kid once.

"Hiss—!"

Taichu covered his forehead with one hand, baring his teeth in pain.

"If you don't know how to talk, then don't talk!"

Dugu Bo said irritably.

What did he mean by wasteful?

I'm a Titled Douluo, after all. Do I not have any pride?!

"Grandfather—!!!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan shouted angrily as well.

"Grandfather's hand just slipped."

Dugu Bo stubbornly refused to admit it.

At that.

Taichu really wanted to say, why not let your foot slip and kick me straight into the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

"Forget it, hurry up and consume the immortal herbs!"

He did not pursue the matter.

All he could say was that Dugu Bo was too petty, while he himself was simply too honest!

There was no helping it.

That was just the kind of person he was, known as the Honest Young Master.

Hearing that.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan followed Taichu's instructions and went to the immortal herbs suited to them.

Then.

Dugu Yan picked the Nine-Colored Snake God Flower and proceeded to consume its nine petals one by one.

On the other side.

Compared to Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo had to put in a bit more effort. Since it was an immortal herb, he was worried that rough movements might accidentally damage it, so he carefully dug bit by bit with his own hands before finally unearthing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

As for the method of consumption, he had read the Immortal Herb Illustrated Guide, so he naturally remembered it.

Once both of them had finished consuming their immortal herbs.

Taichu.

He also came before the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and picked it.

As long as he consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, his Mental Power would receive another considerable boost.

For others.

The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's effects were merely average, inferior even to certain other immortal herbs that increased Soul Power or evolved a Martial Soul.

However.

For him, it was Completely Different.

The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could increase Mental Power, and what his Mangekyō Sharingan needed was precisely Mental Power!

Perhaps.

A single stalk of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew might even cause his Mangekyō Sharingan to undergo another transformation.

He raised the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and poured the few transparent droplets, like dew, from its leaves into his mouth. As those droplets left it, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew in his hand rapidly withered, turning into dust in his palm in the blink of an eye.
