Dugu Bo Regretted It

"Don't worry, this isn't poisonous."

Huang Long walked over and smiled as he gently ruffled Xiao Wu's hair.

"This is called an Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It's a top-grade earth-element immortal herb with mild, balanced medicinal properties."

As he spoke, he finally turned to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. "Dugu Bo, didn't you ask before if there was anything in this herb garden that could help detoxify you?"

Pointing at the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he said, "This is one of them."

"The Earth Dragon Golden Melon contains the power of an earth dragon."

"If an earth-element soul master consumes it, it can improve their affinity with earth elements and strengthen their ability to contend for control over the land."

"It can also reinforce one's foundation, restore vital essence, make up for flaws in one's cultivation base, and help break through soul power bottlenecks."

"But most importantly..."

At that point, he deliberately paused.

Dugu Bo immediately grew anxious.

"You brat, who did you learn that habit of keeping people in suspense from?"

Dugu Yan also leaned closer and asked, "What's more important? Just say it already!"

Huang Long grinned and finally revealed the answer. "More importantly, this immortal herb can promote the evolution of snake-type and draconic bloodline martial souls, increasing the purity of their bloodlines."

"The Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul also possesses a trace of true dragon blood. If it consumes this immortal herb, its bloodline can likewise be purified."

"Especially your Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor martial soul, Dugu Bo. Your martial soul has already evolved once, and its bloodline has already been purified once."

"If you consume this Earth Dragon Golden Melon again, it might even evolve completely into a dragon-type martial soul."

"And wouldn't that solve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom within your body?"

After hearing this, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both sharply sucked in a breath.

The two stared down in shock at the Earth Dragon Golden Melon on the ground. This herb actually had such miraculous effects!

Dugu Bo in particular felt as though stormy waves were churning within his heart.

Whenever his poison flared up, he would come to this herb garden and use the icy and fiery energy emanating from the pool to suppress it.

Yet he had never imagined that the things truly capable of curing this deadly poison were these herbs!

Dugu Bo quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What about Yanyan? Will it work if she takes it?"

"It will definitely have an effect."

Huang Long nodded with a serious expression. "But her martial soul is different from yours. It's only an ordinary Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul, so after taking it, she likely won't be able to evolve it into a dragon-type martial soul."

"That doesn't matter. As long as it works, that's enough!"

Dugu Bo waved his hand.

He did not care much about whether her martial soul evolved or not.

As long as it could resolve the backlash from her martial soul, the Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul was already good enough!

Dugu Yan pointed at herself in surprise. "Grandpa, then aren't you going to take it?"

Dugu Bo smiled gently, his eyes filled with affection as he raised a hand and stroked Dugu Yan's hair.

"Silly child, this old body of mine is still tough enough. I can hold on for a few more years."

"As long as your problem is solved, Grandpa can finally rest easy."

The moment Dugu Yan heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. Unable to bear it, she threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms and burst into tears.

Huang Long was utterly speechless at the sight.

"I'm saying, can you two stop putting on this life-and-death parting act?"

"There are quite a few immortal herbs here. There are more than a dozen that can rival the Earth Dragon Golden Melon."

"You don't seriously think this is the only one that can solve the backlash problem of the Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul, do you?"

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan simultaneously raised their heads to look at Huang Long, their eyes full of both astonishment and wild delight.

There were many immortal herbs like the Earth Dragon Golden Melon?

"Holy Son, then what is this herb?" Sea Maiden Douluo suddenly asked from the side.

Huang Long turned to glance at it and said, "That is Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. It can reinforce one's foundation, restore vital essence, replenish qi, and increase cultivation."

"At the same time, it can treat problems caused by martial soul mutations and help one break through bottlenecks."

Dugu Bo hurriedly asked, "Can this immortal herb also help detoxify us?"

"Perhaps it can." Huang Long nodded slightly, then took a stroll through the herb garden.

With every step he took, he named the immortal herbs nearby.

For example, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, which could reinforce one's foundation and remove impurities.

And the Strange Velvet Heaven-Reaching Chrysanthemum, which could open the eight meridians and forge an indestructible diamond body.

And the Silky Tulip, which could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the radiance of the sun and moon, and so on!

The names of these immortal herbs were unheard of by everyone, and their effects were even more unprecedented.

"Lord Dragon God, you know so much!" Xiao Wu looked at Huang Long with a face full of admiration.

Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo sighed deeply. As expected of the Holy Son personally taught by the Grand Worshipper—he truly knew far more than others.

Dugu Bo, however, was now regretting it to death!

It really was just as this brat had said—he possessed a treasure mountain without even realizing it!

If he had known these herbs were not only non-toxic, but also possessed such powerful effects, he would have eaten them all long ago!

Well, now it was too late.

Once this brat cured the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom within their bodies, he would even have to give away some of these immortal herbs.

Just thinking about it made Dugu Bo feel as though his heart was bleeding!

"And there's that Fragrant Silk Tulip Immortal Herb, known as the bane of all poisons. It can neutralize every kind of toxin."

Huang Long turned to Dugu Bo. "Although this immortal herb cannot detoxify you on its own, if its medicinal power is fused with that of two other immortal herbs—the Fiery Apricot Delicate Herb and the Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass—it might be able to help you dispel the deadly poison in your body."

"But the only drawback is that you'll have to give up all your poison-based cultivation."

"No."

Dugu Bo immediately shook his head and refused after hearing this.

He had dominated Douluo Continent for so many years by relying on this poison-based cultivation.

Without it, wouldn't his Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor be no different from a venomous snake stripped of its fangs?

Thus, he would rather be poisoned to death by the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom in his body than give up his poison-based cultivation.

Dugu Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Is there anything else? There are still so many herbs here. There should be something my grandfather can use, right?"

"I took a look around earlier, and there really is."

Huang Long smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, he brought everyone before a completely jade-green plant.

"This Jade Dragon Snake Orchid may not be as potent as the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, but it is roughly on par with herbs like the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."

"Most importantly, after consuming this immortal herb, it can promote snake- and dragon-type martial souls to evolve into their most perfect state."

After saying that, he glanced at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. Seeing both of them frowning, he could vaguely guess what they were worried about.

So he continued, "I know what you're worried about, but you need to understand the root cause of your poisoning!"

"It's because of a flaw in the Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul. Your martial souls cannot control their own poison, which is why you were poisoned."

"And this immortal herb can help your martial souls evolve into their most perfect state, allowing you to control the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom."

"In terms of effect, this immortal herb is similar to the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma from earlier."

"But the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma repairs the martial soul's origin, while the Jade Dragon Snake Orchid allows your martial souls to evolve into their most perfect state."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both stared at the immortal herb before them with feverish eyes.
