Earth Dragon Golden Melon: Fragrant, but Suffocating

Sunset Forest. After a long, bumpy carriage ride, they finally arrived at the entrance before the forest.

After getting down from the carriage, they saw many footprints and carriage wheel tracks in the dirt beneath their feet. Clearly, many people had entered and exited through here.

"Little Nanchen, do you want to ride on my back? The soul beasts inside are terrifying, and there are low growls too. It's very scary."

Dugu Yan made it sound so frightening that Jiang Nanchen almost believed her.

Jiang Nanchen shot her a glance. "That won't be necessary. I'm not a three-year-old child."

Dugu Yan narrowed her beautiful eyes. "You're only three years older than one."

Jiang Nanchen was left speechless. If he really tried to argue, he truly would not be able to outtalk Dugu Yan.

"Let's go. Don't delay the journey."

Porcupinefish Douluo reminded them.

Only then did Dugu Yan let it go.

The four of them began making their way deeper into Sunset Forest.

They encountered quite a few soul beasts along the way, but all of them were intimidated by Dugu Bo's lingering aura.

Before long, they arrived before an area filled with miasma.

Porcupinefish Douluo looked at the miasma before him and muttered inwardly, Why hadn't I discovered this when I came to Sunset Forest before?

This was truly strange.

Forget it. No need to think too much about it.

After all, they were only here to detoxify someone.

Dugu Bo waved his hand, and the miasma parted to both sides, revealing a narrow path.

Ahead lay a valley.

The four crossed the miasma-covered area and entered the valley.

After walking for some distance, their view suddenly opened up.

Within the valley, countless strange flowers and exotic grasses came into view, leaving them dazzled.

Porcupinefish Douluo's gaze froze. He could not believe his eyes.

This was simply too miraculous.

Seeing Porcupinefish Douluo's reaction, Dugu Bo smiled smugly. "What do you think? I discovered this place long ago and have cultivated it here for many years."

Jiang Nanchen looked at the lake in the center, at the two springs of extreme heat and extreme cold.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Jiang Nanchen murmured.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Nanchen, who seemed so knowledgeable. "You know about it?"

Jiang Nanchen nodded. "I know a little. This kind of wonder could not exist without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Senior Dugu's condition should have improved somewhat from staying here as well."

Dugu Bo secretly rejoiced.

This is settled!

This boy actually understood this place better than he did. All he had to do now was follow his arrangements.

As they entered the range of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Porcupinefish Douluo immediately felt incomparably comfortable and clear within his body.

Cultivating here was far more comfortable than in the outside world. It was an excellent sacred ground for secluded cultivation.

Dugu Bo walked to Jiang Nanchen's side. "Little Friend Nanchen, how do you plan to detoxify me?"

"Naturally, by finding immortal herbs that can neutralize poison." Jiang Nanchen smiled and slowly walked forward. "Besides immortal herbs, there is another method: find a compatible soul bone, temporarily store the toxins within it, then gradually guide them out. But soul bones are hard to find, and the risk is great. There's no need to take that risk. We'll just use immortal herbs."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly. The soul bone method was indeed unrealistic. He took a deep breath and pointed at himself. "Then we'll do as you say, little friend. Detoxify me first. Once I'm fine, treat Yanyan. This old man trusts you."

"That's right, Little Nanchen. Just go for it!" Dugu Yan nodded vigorously at the side, her eyes full of anticipation, though a trace of nervousness was hidden within.

Of course I have to go for it. If I don't, how will I detoxify them, secure these immortal herbs, and get the dragon bones beneath the lake?

I came here to temper my body with ice and fire, lay a solid foundation, and prepare to absorb a thousand-year soul ring as my second soul ring and a ten-thousand-year soul ring as my third.

Otherwise, absorbing a few pieces of Whale Rubber alone would not meet the requirements for absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

There were all sorts of detoxification methods, but he did not know many of them. He only had a few.

He definitely could not call for a soul bone. Otherwise, he could use a medicinal catalyst and acupuncture to force the toxins into one.

Jiang Nanchen began rapidly searching the surrounding area. Earth Dragon Golden Melon, where are you?

After searching for twenty minutes, Jiang Nanchen finally found two Earth Dragon Golden Melons. Under the sunlight, they gleamed with a golden light, their color crystal-clear and lustrous.

From afar, they looked like potatoes, though they appeared far more precious than potatoes.

"Doesn't look bad."

Dugu Yan examined them from top to bottom.

"This is called an Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It contains the aura of an earth dragon, which can be understood as dragon aura. It can help detoxify your bodies and may even allow your Martial Souls to evolve."

After explaining, Jiang Nanchen tossed the Earth Dragon Golden Melons in his hands to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo respectively.

Martial Soul Evolution?

Dugu Bo paused. Eating a golden melon could make his Martial Soul evolve? But Jiang Nanchen did not look like he was joking.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Bo immediately sat cross-legged and swallowed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon in a few bites.

It tasted sweet and refreshing upon entering his mouth. The next instant, surging medicinal power exploded within his body, carrying a heavy earth dragon aura as it rampaged through his meridians, nearly bursting his body apart.

Dugu Bo could not help letting out a muffled groan. He immediately circulated all his Soul Power and forcibly guided the medicinal power through his body, gradually washing away the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom that had accumulated over many years.

Standing nearby, Porcupinefish Douluo could clearly sense the turbulent aura within Dugu Bo's body. There was both the cold chill of leaking poison and the powerful warmth of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. This medicinal power was indeed tyrannical. It seemed that it truly might be able to eradicate the toxins.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The green light around Dugu Bo suddenly surged, and his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul appeared on its own. Its enormous snake body coiled in midair, its scales shimmering with a cold jade-green light.

Immediately after, two small bulges slowly rose from the serpent's head, while faint golden patterns gradually appeared across its scales. The originally cold and sinister aura gained a trace of solemn, heavy dragon might.

"It really evolved!" Dugu Yan clenched her fists and stared at the Martial Soul in midair with delighted eyes.

Porcupinefish Douluo was also inwardly shocked.

A mere medicinal herb had actually caused the Martial Soul of a Titled Douluo to evolve? The effects of this Earth Dragon Golden Melon were simply astonishing.

Porcupinefish Douluo immediately looked toward the calm Jiang Nanchen, deep in thought.

"Little Nanchen really did it!"

Dugu Yan excitedly pounced over and wrapped Jiang Nanchen in a hug.

Jiang Nanchen's face was pressed into her chest, making it hard for him to breathe. Struggling, he pushed Dugu Yan away. "Enough, enough! I don't want to be smothered to death!"

Dugu Yan giggled. "Sorry, I got too excited for a moment."

She truly was too excited.

Most importantly, after the detoxification, Dugu Yan would finally no longer have to worry that her grandfather would leave her.

Dugu Bo's transformation began accelerating.

Jiang Nanchen turned his gaze toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

There was no need to absorb the cold aura of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. The Infernal Delicate Apricot alone would be enough.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot could enhance his fire attribute.

What he mainly needed was to find an immortal herb suitable for strengthening his Sacred Angel. He wondered whether it could reach the level of four wings.

If it could, then its quality would undergo another transformation.
