Saint Soul Grass

Then the entire chunk of metal was drawn into that vertical eye.

Xiao Wu was stunned by the bizarre scene and instinctively shuffled two steps to the side, though she did not dare move too far away.

The young man's clothes fluttered without wind. Azure light flowed across his exposed skin, while his originally silver-white hair began turning glossy black from the tips at a visible rate.

His skin had originally held a sickly pallor, but after the azure light surged through it, it gradually regained a healthy, rosy complexion.

About two hours later, the azure light around Huo Yuhao gradually receded, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood fell onto the sand and actually let out a series of sizzling sounds, showing just how potent its toxicity was.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, looked at the black blood on the ground, and immediately took out a separate box from Twenty-Four Bridges Under Moonlight. He scooped up the blood along with the sand beneath it.

This was Er Bai's corpse poison. As the ruler of the Undead Demiplane, the potency of his poison was obvious. It was also an invaluable trump card against enemies. If Huo Yuhao had not possessed the Golden Dragon Bloodline and cultivated the Dragon God Heart Formula, he would have died long ago from carrying this poison for so long.

Previously, he had planned to head to the Far North first. With Er Bai there, finding a few ten-thousand-year Snow Lotuses to cure his poison would have been easy.

But after giving Zhu Zhuqing Red Dust Blessing, he had unexpectedly received such a tremendous surprise. He had found Spirit Life Gold so quickly, which meant there was much more he could do now.

"Alright, stop hiding. It's time to collect the Saint Soul Grass." Huo Yuhao was in an exceptionally good mood.

Only then did Xiao Wu emerge from behind the rock. She looked at Huo Yuhao, wanting to speak but hesitating. "What exactly are you?" Xiao Wu was completely confused now.

First there had been a seven-colored soul ring, then a gray soul ring. Neither resembled any soul ring on Douluo Continent, yet both were unimaginably powerful. The seven-colored soul ring could not only teleport but also fly, while the gray one was even more terrifying. Its aura was identical to that of the space filled with strange creatures.

"I... guess I'm human?" Huo Yuhao was not entirely sure. After ascending, he had been remade by the laws and power of the God Realm, so he definitely no longer counted as human. But now that he had come back down, and his divine body had undergone nirvana and returned to youth, perhaps he still counted as one.

"What kind of answer is that?" Even if Xiao Wu racked her brains, she could never have guessed that the person standing before her was actually a half-fallen god.

"Let's go collect the Saint Soul Grass." Huo Yuhao reached out to grab Xiao Wu by the collar again. The little rabbit immediately tucked in her head, squatted down, and held out her hand. "Hold my hand instead. I can't breathe if you drag me by the collar," Xiao Wu explained while clutching her head.

In the end, Brother Sky Dream's Ice Silkworm Belt came in handy. Xiao Wu was carried by the belt, wearing an utterly lifeless expression.

Huo Yuhao moved through the forest at incredible speed. Buffeted by branches and wind, Xiao Wu could only curl herself up as tightly as possible.

Before nightfall, the two found the Saint Soul Grass. Fortunately, it was actually a patch of Saint Soul Grass, with three stalks growing side by side.

The grass stood a foot tall and was snow-white throughout. Silver flowers resembling night-blooming cereus bloomed at their tips, with specks of starlight drifting around them.

"This is Saint Soul Grass. If soul beasts eat it, their intelligence will increase." Xiao Wu pointed at the grass on the ground.

Huo Yuhao nodded. It was indeed the same as what Qiu'er had eaten.

He tossed Xiao Wu aside, crouched down, and lightly cut open his palm with a fingernail. Having just fused with Spirit Life Gold, his blood was now the ultimate life-giving tonic.

Bright red blood carrying intense life energy dripped onto the Saint Soul Grass, and the silver flowers bloomed even more brilliantly.

Then, as if time had accelerated, the flowers quickly began to wither before finally falling.

Huo Yuhao reacted swiftly and caught them in a jade box. The three withered flowers fell into the box, their dry petals splitting apart to reveal hard, fingernail-sized fruits inside. These were the seeds of the Saint Soul Grass.

By the time he closed the box and stored it away, the wound on Huo Yuhao's hand had already healed.

He casually pulled up all three stalks by their roots. Once their seeds had been collected, the stalks no longer possessed their earlier freshness and looked somewhat dry and shriveled. But Huo Yuhao did not mind. Along with the three-hundred-year stalk Da Ming and Er Ming had brought earlier, he put them all away.

Then he summoned an Undead Gate. Before Xiao Wu could react, he directly swallowed her into it, then walked in himself.

The moment Xiao Wu entered, she saw Da Ming and Er Ming covered in wounds, barely breathing. She hurried forward to inspect them.

All four of Er Ming's limbs were broken, and his chest was visibly caved in. Da Ming was in even worse condition. His serpent body was twisted at several grotesque angles, and even his bull horns had snapped.

"Da Ming, Er Ming!" Tears filled Xiao Wu's eyes. She turned to demand answers, but Er Bai stopped her.

"They dared deceive Grandfather. This is what they deserve." The eyes formed from ghostly blue flames sent a chill through Xiao Wu's entire body.

When one was under another's roof, one had no choice but to bow one's head. Without medicine, Xiao Wu could only withdraw miserably and watch Da Ming and Er Ming while wiping away her tears.

Meanwhile, shielded by Er Bai's body, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged in an open area.

He took out the four stalks of Saint Soul Grass, summoned the Ghost Sculpture, and his seven-colored soul ring flashed. A most ordinary water sphere appeared before him. With a wave of his hand, Huo Yuhao tossed all four stalks into it. At a thought, the water sphere spun, quickly washing the Saint Soul Grass clean.

Only then did he take out the medicine pot he had used to brew medicine earlier, put the Saint Soul Grass inside, and filled it with water. Then he released Fireball after Fireball.

After half an hour, once he confirmed that the Saint Soul Grass had boiled down, Huo Yuhao drank it directly, dregs and all, without fearing the heat.

Then came a long period of refinement.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San was on the verge of completely losing control.

With the experience of his previous life and Huo Yuhao's example, Tang San chose to absorb the External Soul Bone before absorbing the soul ring. With the resistance of his divine sense as a foundation, this fusion was nearly a third faster and more effective than in his previous life.

This should have been the most exhilarating thing possible, but when he opened his eyes, what he saw was the one thing he could least accept.

"Where's Xiao Wu? Where's Xiao Wu?" Tang San nearly went mad as he grabbed Oscar beside him and roared.

"Little San, calm down. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were taken away. None of us wanted this to happen, but you have to calm down." Oscar winced from Tang San's grip, but he did not dare move at all. Tang San's expression was too terrifying. Perhaps the influence of the Man Faced Demon Spider had not fully faded yet, so Oscar could only try to soothe him.

"Zhu Zhuqing. Right, Zhu Zhuqing. Little Ao, give me all your Mushroom Sausages. I have to go find Xiao Wu." Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's name, Tang San quickly reacted. Perhaps Xiao Wu had failed to return in time this time because she had been captured together with Zhu Zhuqing.

It must be that... It can only be that... Tang San repeated silently in his heart.
