Winning Over Dugu Bo, Hunting Souls in the Star Dou Great Forest? Azure Luan's Immortal Herb: Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid

"Because I just completely resolved the hidden danger of my Evil Fire within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

Huang Yan cut Dugu Bo off and pointed at the spring behind him.

"You guard this treasure trove, yet only know how to use it to suppress poison. What a terrible waste.

The method to detoxify yourselves lies in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, along with a suitable Spirit Bone."

With a few medicinal herbs and a Spirit Bone to channel the poison into, it would not be difficult.

Although it treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.

As long as the danger of backlash from the Jade Phosphor Snake poison was resolved, that would be enough.

Once Dugu Bo joined Spirit Hall, Huang Yan would teach him the Soul Core Method later as well.

Dugu Bo froze, his mind racing. The more he thought about it, the more sense Huang Yan's words made.

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he asked:

"What are your conditions?"

"Very simple."

Huang Yan stared at him intensely.

"Join Spirit Hall and become an elder of Spirit Hall.

From now on, serve me."

Dugu Bo glanced at Azure Luan Douluo beside him, who wore a faint, knowing smile and seemed ready to strike at any moment, then looked at the unfathomable Huang Yan before him.

He gave a bitter laugh, then his expression became incomparably solemn.

"As long as you can cure the poison in Yan Yan's body, forget joining Spirit Hall—even if I have to sell you this old life of mine, I'll do so willingly!"

"Good. Straightforward."

Huang Yan nodded in satisfaction, a smile curling across his lips.

"Elder Dugu, you will never regret the decision you made today."

Dugu Bo took a deep breath and eagerly pressed on:

"Then what exactly do you mean by using a Spirit Bone to detoxify us?

What should I do now?"

"The principle is simple."

Huang Yan explained clearly.

"The poison of the Dugu family merges into your blood and meridians along with the awakening of your martial souls.

What I need to do is use several specific medicinal herbs here as catalysts,

then combine them with acupuncture to force all the poison from your bodies and store it within a Spirit Bone.

That way, the poison will not only stop harming you, but can also be released through the Spirit Bone in battle, becoming a true trump card."

Dugu Bo suddenly understood. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly:

"Brilliant!

I've played with poison all my life. How did I never think of this?

Forcing the poison into a Spirit Bone is the same as gaining a perfect vessel for storing poison!"

Huang Yan struggled to suppress a laugh.

Looking at Douluo from an omniscient perspective really was a dimensionality-reducing strike.

But then Dugu Bo revealed a troubled expression.

"I do have a Spirit Bone myself, so we can begin at any time.

But Yan Yan's cultivation is still shallow, and she doesn't have a Spirit Bone..."

"That is no problem."

Azure Luan Douluo, who had remained silent until then, spoke calmly, his tone carrying the authority of a Spirit Hall Offering.

"Since you have agreed to join Spirit Hall, you are one of us.

Spirit Hall can afford a mere Spirit Bone suitable for a junior.

Once we return to Spirit City, I will personally select a suitable one for her from the treasury."

Upon hearing this, the last trace of concern in Dugu Bo's heart vanished.

As a Title Douluo, he naturally understood how precious Spirit Bones were. Azure Luan Douluo had offered one with a single sentence, showing his sincerity plainly.

Dugu Bo immediately clasped his fists and bowed to Azure Luan Douluo and Huang Yan, saying solemnly:

"Thank you, Third Offering!

Thank you, Young Master Huang Yan!

From this day onward, these old bones of mine belong to Spirit Hall!"

"Elder Dugu, you are too polite."

Huang Yan smiled slightly and reached out to help Dugu Bo up.

"I will prepare the medicinal catalysts for your detoxification.

But before that, we still have two matters to attend to."

"Please give your orders, Young Master."

Dugu Bo was now utterly devoted, even taking the initiative to change how he addressed Huang Yan.

Huang Yan pointed at Azure Luan Douluo beside him.

"First, my teacher needs to use this treasure trove to refine an Immortal Herb. He must not be disturbed during that time, so I need you to stand guard."

"Leave it to me!"

Dugu Bo thumped his chest in assurance.

"In this Sunset Forest, with my poison formation and myself standing watch, not even a fly will get in!"

"The second matter."

A sharp glint flashed through Huang Yan's eyes.

"I just broke through to level sixty, and urgently need to obtain my sixth soul ring.

Sunset Forest is your territory, so you should know it better than we do."

"Of course!"

Dugu Bo perked up and immediately replied.

"Young Master's martial soul is now the Radiant Phoenix, so you need a fire-attribute or light-attribute soul beast, correct?

What age do you want for your sixth soul ring?

I know several good places with soul beasts around fifty thousand years old."

Huang Yan shook his head, his words startling.

"Fifty thousand years is too low.

My fifth soul ring was already forty thousand years old.

For my sixth soul ring... it must be at least eighty thousand years old. One hundred thousand would be best!"

"One hundred thousand years?!"

Dugu Bo sucked in a breath, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"You're not joking, are you?

Absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring as your sixth ring?

Your body will explode and you'll die!"

"Nonsense!"

Azure Luan Douluo was also startled. He quickly waved his hand and stopped Huang Yan's reckless idea without hesitation.

"Yan'er, your talent is extraordinary, and your physique far surpasses that of ordinary people. Absorbing soul rings beyond your limit is indeed commonplace for you.

But a hundred-thousand-year sixth ring is simply too outrageous!"

Azure Luan Douluo looked at Huang Yan seriously and advised him earnestly:

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast not only contains immense energy, but its death also brings an incomparably terrifying spiritual shock. That is not something a Soul Emperor who has just reached level sixty can withstand.

You are still young. There is no need to rush."

After a pause, a trace of pride flashed in Azure Luan Douluo's eyes as he promised:

"Once you have cultivated to the realm of a Soul Douluo or a Title Douluo,

and your body can withstand the impact of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, I will personally take you to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

When that time comes, even if we have to turn the Star Dou Great Forest upside down, I'll get one for you!"

Seeing the tense expressions of Azure Luan Douluo and Dugu Bo, as though they faced a great enemy, Huang Yan laughed softly.

"Alright, I'll listen to Teacher."

Huang Yan nodded obediently and agreed with a smile.

"I was indeed a little too impatient.

Since one hundred thousand years won't work, let's settle for somewhere between sixty and eighty thousand years first.

Elder Dugu, are there any fire-attribute or light-attribute soul beasts in Sunset Forest that meet that age range?"

Dugu Bo lowered his head in thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

"Young Master, Sunset Forest may be vast, but it simply does not have as many high-age soul beasts as the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for fire-attribute or light-attribute soul beasts between sixty and eighty thousand years old, despite having stayed here for so many years, I truly have never encountered one."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo glanced at Shui Bing'er beside him and added:

"Moreover, this young lady's martial soul is an Ice Phoenix.

Sunset Forest's climate is relatively mild, so there are even fewer high-age ice-attribute avian soul beasts suitable for her."

After hearing this, Azure Luan Douluo swept his hand and decisively made the call.

"Since Sunset Forest does not have them, then we will go to the Star Dou Great Forest!

Once I refine the Immortal Herb, I will personally take you two youngsters on a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

With my strength, we can travel freely through the outer regions and mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. We will certainly find the most suitable soul beasts for you."

"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher."

Huang Yan nodded, then turned and walked toward the herb garden.

"In that case, Teacher, absorb the Immortal Herb first and increase your strength."

Huang Yan's gaze swept across the Immortal Herbs before finally stopping on an orchid that was pure white and emitted a faint fragrance.

The orchid had eight petals, each crystal clear and seemingly carved from white jade.

Huang Yan carefully picked it and walked over to hand it to Azure Luan Douluo.

"Teacher, your martial soul is Azure Luan.

This Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid has an exceptionally gentle and rich medicinal nature. It is best suited for consolidating one's foundation, nurturing vitality, and purging impurities from the body.

You are already a level ninety-seven Peak Douluo. This Immortal Herb should allow you to directly break through the bottleneck and reach level ninety-eight."
