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

Seeing Dugu Bo agree so readily, 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 no different from coming 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 party had been moved by his sincerity, and his favorability soared. He had even personally brought him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As for whether the other party might kill him to silence him?

Of course not.

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

So Taichu felt entirely at ease now.

"Among these seventeen Immortal Herbs, one is especially suitable for the two of you. However, there is only one of it, so you'll have to decide for yourselves who will take it."

Taichu sighed. Their Martial Souls shared the same roots, yet there was only one Immortal Herb. One of them had to be chosen.

"Then let Yanyan take it!"

Dugu Bo made the decision without a word.

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

Dugu Yan frowned.

"Yanyan! You're younger than I am and have greater potential. Only by taking 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 just how precious Immortal Herbs were. He was already a Titled Douluo—so even if he took the herb most suitable for him, how many more steps could he possibly take?

On the other hand.

His granddaughter was younger and not lacking in talent. If she took an Immortal Herb that suited her best, then perhaps the Dugu Family could produce another Titled Douluo in the future. If that truly happened, he would laugh out loud even 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 standing nearby, 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 issue will definitely be more than enough, so you don't need to worry about the poison in Grandfather's body."

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

The moment those words came out.

"Grandfather—!!!"

Dugu Yan's face turned crimson as she cried out in embarrassed fury.

Most of her favorable impression of Taichu had come from the Soul Bone Poison Storage Method he had given her before. Then, after seeing his appearance today, she had been utterly stunned. As someone obsessed with looks, her favorability toward Taichu had risen rapidly.

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

However.

She glanced at Taichu twice, her brows tightly furrowed.

It seemed that 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 with women everywhere? Wouldn't she be left weeping for the rest of her life?

After pondering for a moment.

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

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

Though this was exactly what he had wanted, his granddaughter's answer had come so decisively that it still stung a little!

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

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

"No, it's one thing for this old man to slander me as a pretty boy, and another for him to slander me as someone who'll rely on my handsome face to flirt around in the future. But what's with glaring at me too?"

Taichu truly found Dugu Bo's behavior rather baffling.

However.

He felt that he should quickly resolve Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's problems first, so he could start taking the Immortal Herbs he needed.

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

"As for Your Excellency, that top-tier earth-attribute Immortal Herb, 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 dragon after ten thousand years. Snakes and dragons are connected, after all. Once you consume 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.

"It really is somewhat wasteful for you to use this Immortal Herb. If it were given to someone with a Martial Soul possessing both earth and dragon attributes, it could completely transform their Martial Soul into one of the continent's most elite Martial Souls."

Thud—!!!

The more Dugu Bo listened, the more displeased he became, until he finally struck the brat.

"Hiss—!"

Taichu clutched his forehead, baring his teeth in pain.

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

Dugu Bo said irritably.

What did he mean by wasteful?

This old man was a Titled Douluo, after all. Did this old man not care about his dignity?!

"Grandfather—!!!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan called out angrily as well.

"Grandfather's hand merely 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 take the Immortal Herbs!"

He did not pursue the matter.

All he could say was that the other party was too petty, while he himself was simply too honest!

There was no helping it.

That was the kind of person he was. His nickname was Honest Young Master.

Hearing this.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan followed Taichu's instructions and went to the Immortal Herbs suitable for them.

Then.

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

On the other side.

Compared to Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo had to expend a little more effort. Since it was an Immortal Herb, he was worried that his movements might be too rough and accidentally damage it, so he carefully dug it out bit by bit with his own hands.

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

After both of them had fully consumed their Immortal Herbs.

Taichu.

He also arrived 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.

To others.

The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's effects were merely average. Its effects were not as good as certain other Immortal Herbs that increased Soul Power or caused Martial Soul Evolution.

But.

To 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 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 drops left the plant, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew in his hand rapidly withered. In the blink of an eye, it turned into dust in his palm.
