"There are many herbs here. Though I don't know the specific uses of most of them, I know they are extraordinary. Use your Blue Silver Grass to identify them."
Dugu Bo stepped forward. He did not know why Chu Chen was so fond of a single bamboo stalk, but he still reminded him.
Chu Chen nodded and summoned the Blue Silver Emperor.
Countless Blue Silver Grass plants answered the Blue Silver Emperor's aura, growing even faster as they swept across the entire valley in an instant!
Blue-Gold Light shot into the sky, transforming into dazzling, multicolored streams of light.
"This is..."
Chu Chen did not immediately search for Immortal Herbs. Instead, he sat down where he was and gently touched the Ink Jade Bamboo before him.
The Blue Silver Emperor slowly coiled around the Ink Jade Bamboo. Then, the four Spirit Rings around Chu Chen quietly lit up—black, purple, black, black!
The Fourth Spirit Ring in particular blazed with Black Light.
Clearly, the Blue Silver Emperor's Fourth Spirit Ring had resonated with the Ink Jade Bamboo before it. This was a primordial resonance between Spirit Beasts of the same kind, now acting upon the Blue Silver Emperor.
"Damn..."
Dugu Bo stared in utter disbelief, even suspecting that his eyes had deceived him. Three ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings?!
"How is that possible? How did this kid do it? Weren't his previous Spirit Rings only hundred-year and thousand-year ones? Could those have been disguises?"
Dugu Bo stared fixedly at Chu Chen's four Spirit Rings. If anyone else saw this scene, their jaws would surely hit the ground.
The Blue Silver Emperor slowly wrapped itself around the Ink Jade Bamboo.
The Blue Silver Emperor, originally dominated by gold and blue, was now dyed a pure ink-black, carrying a faint aura of peculiar resonance!
"So that's it. Because of my Fourth Spirit Ring, I can actually communicate with this Ink Jade Bamboo through the Blue Silver Emperor."
Chu Chen began using the Blue Silver Emperor to obtain information from the Ink Jade Bamboo.
Before long, the Blue Silver Emperor returned to its usual Blue-Gold color.
"Kid, what are you doing?" Dugu Bo asked.
"I was sensing the aura here. I'll find herbs rich in vitality for you now."
Joy flashed in Chu Chen's eyes, though he quickly concealed it. He had not merely gained a simple insight.
Through the Ink Jade Bamboo, he had learned the effects of every Immortal Herb in this place. This was the ability of special Spirit Beasts like the Ink Jade Bamboo—the mutual resonance between their kind.
Thus, using this connection and the Blue Silver Emperor's unique ability to communicate with plants, Chu Chen learned the traits and effects of every Immortal Herb growing within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
He was now a walking encyclopedia!
"Can such a tiny Blue Silver Grass really be this useful?"
Dugu Bo followed beside Chu Chen, curiously examining the Blue Silver Grass in his hand.
"Why is this kid's Blue Silver Grass Blue-Gold? And why does gold dominate it? What are those rune-like Natural Textures..."
Dugu Bo was completely baffled.
Then he thought of one possibility: a mutated martial soul!
Before long, Chu Chen stopped in front of a completely purple Immortal Herb. He transformed the Blue Silver Emperor into a blade, carefully harvested the herb, and nourished it with Soul Power.
Throughout the process, he avoided touching it directly.
"Why are you being so careful?" Dugu Bo had become a walking question mark, asking with a curious expression.
"This thing is highly poisonous, but it is also a potent medicine for curing your poison," Chu Chen explained.
Chu Chen then continued forward and finally stopped before a completely green Immortal Herb. It resembled a lingzhi mushroom, but what made it unique was that the plants around it all grew much more vigorously.
That was due to the influence of its surging vitality!
"That's enough."
Chu Chen placed the two Immortal Herbs before Dugu Bo and explained, "Of these two Immortal Herbs, one contains a deadly poison, while the other catalyzes vitality."
"Fuse these two Immortal Herbs and absorb them. While the two poisons neutralize each other, the vitality will purify and temper all your poison techniques, so they will no longer erode your own body."
Chu Chen made it sound easy, but Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched. Why did this sound so unreliable?
"Is it... really that simple?"
Seeing Dugu Bo's doubtful expression, Chu Chen sighed. "Simple? What's simple about it? There is more than one way to cure your poison."
"But this is the fastest method, and it can also make your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison even stronger, just like Dugu Yan's. These two Immortal Herbs are the only viable combination."
"Without one of them, you'll either be killed by the two poisons, or your internal toxins will be catalyzed and you'll still be poisoned to death."
Dugu Bo: "..."
Leave me some dignity. Don't keep saying the Poison Douluo will be poisoned to death. Isn't that like the Flame Emperor being burned to death or the Sea God drowning?!
"Fine! This old man trusts you!"
Dugu Bo patted his chest and declared boldly.
Chu Chen smiled as well. Dugu Bo had always been this sort of person. It was no small thing for him to entrust his life as a Title Douluo to Chu Chen with such confidence.
Dugu Bo was indeed a close friend worth befriending.
"Let's begin. It won't be long before you are completely free of it," Chu Chen said with a nod, gathering his Soul Power.
Under Chu Chen's guidance, Dugu Bo swallowed both Immortal Herbs at once. They almost instantly transformed into surging medicinal power and flooded into his body. Once catalyzed, the Ultimate Destruction poison became even more frenzied.
That terrifying poison seemed as though it would burst Dugu Bo's meridians apart!
Fortunately, as the Blue Silver Emperor's aura entered him, Dugu Bo's condition gradually improved.
"I will use my Soul Power, combined with my martial soul's Ultimate Life force, to guide the controllable poison within your body into your Soul Bone."
"This may even cause your Soul Bone to evolve."
Chu Chen gathered his Soul Power, using the Blue Silver Emperor to continuously absorb the surrounding vitality and condense it into an immensely powerful mass of Life Energy.
He directly sent that energy into Dugu Bo's body, without needing to worry that the latter would be unable to endure it!
Dugu Bo's expression twisted in pain, but with his formidable willpower, he endured it.
The process continued for an entire day.
"Phew..."
Chu Chen finally relaxed. At this point, the terrifying poison within Dugu Bo had been completely brought under control.
All that remained was for Dugu Bo to finish absorbing it on his own. The benefits he gained this time would surely be tremendous. Not only might his Soul Bone evolve, but even his Soul Power would increase!
Having exhausted too much Soul Power, Chu Chen released his Blue Silver Domain to absorb Life Energy and recover while searching for Immortal Herbs suitable for himself!
"It's finally time."
The Immortal Herbs Chu Chen chose would naturally be those of Ultimate Life and Ultimate Destruction!
The one he had selected for Dugu Bo earlier merely catalyzed vitality; it did not possess Ultimate Life force. That was Chu Chen's goal now.
