Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma

After a while, Dugu Bo withdrew his gaze, looked into the distance, and slowly said, "If this old man hadn't discovered what you were doing, would you have told me the effects of those two Immortal Herbs?"

"I would!"

Jiang He nodded and said with a serious expression, "I would have found an opportunity in the future to share the Secret Treasure Record with Sister Yan Yan. As long as Sister Yan Yan mentioned it in front of you, you would definitely realize the value of the Secret Treasure Record."

Listening to Jiang He, Dugu Bo took out the Secret Treasure Record again.

Looking at the Secret Treasure Record in his hand, Dugu Bo's expression was complicated.

"This tiny Secret Treasure Record actually documents so many heaven-defying treasures, and you brat happened to obtain it. This really is... heh."

Dugu Bo laughed.

That laughter was filled with endless bitterness and sorrow.

The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in his body had plagued him for many years.

His son had even died because of it.

Yet the solution to the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison had been right before his eyes, while he stood guard over a treasure mountain without realizing it.

If not for Jiang He, he might not have known until the day he died that the method to resolve his Jade Phosphor Snake Poison had been in his own hands all along.

For a moment, Dugu Bo could not help sighing at how fate toyed with people.

His gaze drifted into the distance as he slowly said, "Back then, your father and Yan Yan's father entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the same intake.

Yan Yan's father represented Team One of Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Your father, meanwhile, was a member of Team Two.

At the time, they were both full of ambition. Yan Yan's father said that one day, he would venture across the continent, avoid relying on my name, and make a name for himself.

But because of the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison, he died young.

Your father chose a path entirely different from Yan Yan's father. He remained at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and lived a relatively stable life.

But who could have known? Now that times had changed, they had both gone underground to keep each other company.

Instead, this old man has continued to cling to life."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Jiang He looked curious and asked, "My father and Sister Yan Yan's father were students from the same generation? Then why is Sister Yan Yan so much older than me?"

Dugu Bo shot Jiang He an annoyed glance and said, "Your father's talent was average. There were plenty like him in Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Unless he was willing to marry an ordinary woman, how could it have been so easy for him to find a wife?

My son had Innate Soul Power of level nine and the potential to become a Title Douluo. With me as his father, he was engaged before he even graduated. Is it strange that you're a few years younger than Yan Yan?"

Jiang He twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Damn... you make it sound so nice, but he still didn't live as long as my dad.

As Jiang He grumbled inwardly, Dugu Bo said, "Jiang He, how do you think the poison in Yan Yan's body should be resolved?"

"Grandpa Dugu, haven't you already consumed Immortal Herbs? Use your..."

Jiang He had originally intended to use the method from the original story and simply have Dugu Yan drink Dugu Bo's blood.

But on second thought, that was just Tang San being stingy in the original story.

There had to be plenty of ways to resolve the poison in Dugu Yan's body!

After all, how long had she even cultivated? She was nowhere near as deeply poisoned as Dugu Bo.

Thus, Jiang He changed his wording. "Actually, it's very simple. If you merely want to detoxify her, the method in the Secret Treasure Record only requires Sister Yan Yan to drink your current blood, since you now have a Myriad-Poison Immunity constitution.

But I think that method treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

That is because the fundamental reason both you and Sister Yan Yan are poisoned is a flaw in your Martial Souls.

If you want to solve this problem completely, and even ensure that your descendants will no longer suffer from the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison as you have, then the problem with the Martial Soul must be addressed.

Over the past few months, I've carefully looked around. There are still quite a few mature Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

And there are quite a few Immortal Herbs among them that can help Sister Yan Yan solve her problem."

Jiang He pointed at one of the Immortal Herbs and said, "Lovesick Heartbreak Red. According to the Secret Treasure Record, it is a divine-grade herb among Immortal Herbs, one of the absolute best. After consuming it, one can attain an effect as everlasting as heaven and earth. I believe it can definitely resolve Sister Yan Yan's problem, though its requirements for consumption are rather harsh.

Aromatic Silk Beauty can allow one to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, along with the radiance of the sun and moon. I believe it can also make up for the flaws in Sister Yan Yan's Martial Soul.

There's also a medicinal herb that isn't an Immortal Herb but is still very suitable for Sister Yan Yan: Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. Though it isn't an Immortal Herb, it can strengthen the foundation and nourish vitality. To a certain extent, it should also be able to make up for the flaws in Sister Yan Yan's Martial Soul."

Dugu Bo followed Jiang He's explanation and examined the plants one by one. Finally, he pointed to an Immortal Herb and asked, "What about the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower? The Secret Treasure Record says it can remove impurities from the body. Shouldn't it be more suitable for making up for Yan Yan's Martial Soul flaw?"

"Uh... Grandpa Dugu, I don't really recommend it. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is a great tonic of pure yang, while Sister Yan Yan's Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphor Snake. Snakes are yin-aligned, so they somewhat conflict with the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. I'm worried that consuming it might cause some undesirable effects."

"That makes sense."

Dugu Bo nodded. Then, after giving Jiang He a meaningful look, he said, "Actually, this old man thinks the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid would be the most suitable for Yan Yan. It strengthens the foundation, nourishes vitality, removes impurities from the body, and its medicinal properties are mild and easily absorbed."

"Ah... haha."

Jiang He awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

It would be great, but I already ate it!

He explained, "Grandpa Dugu, I hadn't considered that at the time. I thought the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot would be enough, so..."

"No need to explain."

Dugu Bo raised his hand and stopped Jiang He. "Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him. You risked your life to come deep into Sunset Forest precisely to seek benefits for yourself. This old man is not someone who nitpicks over such matters. As long as the poison in Yan Yan's and my bodies can be removed, that is enough. As for anything else, this old man does not care."

After saying that, Dugu Bo looked at the several mature Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and said, "Let it be the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. If its effect is insufficient, then Yan Yan can consume the Aromatic Silk Beauty as well, or find a way to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

If the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma can resolve Yan Yan's problem, leave the remaining Immortal Herbs alone. If a descendant's Martial Soul has flaws in the future, these Immortal Herbs may still prove useful."

Jiang He had written the effects of these Immortal Herbs very clearly in the Secret Treasure Record.

After all, the more he wrote and the more detailed it was, the more credible the Secret Treasure Record would seem. Thus, Dugu Bo was very clear on the conditions required to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Considering his granddaughter's circumstances, Dugu Bo did not think she could pick it now, so he temporarily did not consider it.

At this moment, Jiang He also nodded, feeling that Dugu Bo's considerations were quite good.

He had not only considered Dugu Yan's current situation, but also left a safeguard for future descendants.

However, the very next second, Dugu Bo's words pulled Jiang He straight back to reality.

"Brat, now that we've discussed Yan Yan's problem, it's time to discuss yours."
