Immortal Herbs Everywhere, a Martial Soul Evolution Potion

"Boy, can you really use this many medicinal herbs?"

Dugu Bo had visited three pharmacies before gathering all the medicinal herbs Duan Qingya needed. If his Storage Soul Tool had not been large enough, he would probably have needed a cart to transport them.

"Senior Dugu Bo, you know making potions can fail! Surely I shouldn't wait until I fail to buy more?"

Duan Qingya lowered his head and checked the medicinal herbs piled throughout the room, making sure their quality was up to standard.

Of course, fear of failure was not the only reason Duan Qingya had asked Dugu Bo to buy so many medicinal herbs.

With his potion-making experience from his previous life supporting him, Duan Qingya believed his chances of failure were low.

But this world was not his previous world. Back then, medicinal herbs containing supernatural energy might not have been available by the handful, but they certainly had not been as scarce as they were here.

So he would make up for quality with quantity. Duan Qingya planned to replace some of the rare medicinal herbs with large quantities of ordinary ones.

Once Duan Qingya finished checking the medicinal herbs, Dugu Bo swept them back into his Soul Tool with a wave.

"Since everything is in order, boy, it's time you came with me."

Dugu Bo gave Duan Qingya no more time to prepare, taking him straight toward the Sunset Forest.

"Senior Dugu Bo, you really do spare no expense! Poison that can stop a Soul Douluo dead in their tracks, and you actually laid down this much!"

Dugu Bo had barely set Duan Qingya down when he looked up and saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well shrouded in poisonous mist.

It would have been a lie to say he was not envious. Dugu Bo must have spent an ocean of materials creating this poison formation.

Duan Qingya, who had grown terrified of poverty, dreamed of splurging like this just once!

"Naturally. I'm no useless sack of straw!"

"I cleverly used the terrain here, so the poisonous mist not only stays contained, but also replenishes itself continuously with the energy of this treasure ground."

Watching Duan Qingya stare enviously at the poison formation he had laid down gave Dugu Bo's vanity immense satisfaction.

Before this, the boy had always acted as though he had seen the whole wide world, leaving Dugu Bo no chance to show off.

"All right, boy! Make sure you stay close. If you step into a trap or inhale poisonous gas, I'll certainly let you suffer a little."

With that, Dugu Bo stepped into the poisonous mist, nearly leaving Duan Qingya behind as he continued studying the poison formation.

As soon as Duan Qingya followed Dugu Bo out of the poison formation, a pool of red-and-blue spring water came into view.

With nothing more than a visual inspection, Duan Qingya spotted several ingredients suitable for making an Evolution Potion for Azure Chi.

"Boy, my treasure ground has stunned you, hasn't it? This place meets every requirement you mentioned before."

"So if you can't make a potion that evolves my martial soul, I won't mind staining this treasure ground with blood!"

The thought of revealing this treasure ground to Duan Qingya irritated Dugu Bo, and his words came out sinister and chilling.

But Duan Qingya had no interest in Dugu Bo's tricks for scaring children right now.

If Dugu Bo truly wanted to strike, he would have done so back in the room.

Now that Duan Qingya was under the protection of Ye Han and the Nine Heart Begonia Family, attacking him would inevitably bring a heap of trouble down on Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

After all, the Nine Heart Begonia Family's centuries of accumulated connections and its own strength were not to be underestimated.

"Senior Dugu Bo, you can take out everything we'll need and get it ready now!"

After saying this to Dugu Bo, Duan Qingya followed his senses toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo had just taken out the medicinal herbs when he saw Duan Qingya approaching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"What are you doing, boy! There are medicinal herbs in there that even I wouldn't dare touch or approach. Going in there is walking straight to your death!"

"Senior, surely you don't think those medicinal herbs from the pharmacies alone can make a potion that evolves your martial soul?"

At Dugu Bo's warning, Duan Qingya waved a hand without looking back. If he dared go in, he certainly had confidence.

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue at Duan Qingya's retort. If he had not still needed the boy's help, he would certainly have given him a good clout.

Walking among the various immortal herbs, Duan Qingya pushed his beast taming talent to its limit to sense each herb's medicinal properties.

Without touching the immortal herbs themselves, Duan Qingya could only get a rough sense of their medicinal properties.

To evolve Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, Duan Qingya had to find an immortal herb that could strengthen its poison.

This immortal herb brims with vitality. It would suit a Soul Master with a weaker foundation.

This immortal herb contains wind and lightning attributes. Given to someone with a bird martial soul, it might grant a soul skill like Wind and Lightning Wings.

This immortal herb can strengthen spiritual power. If I make it into a potion and drink it, my spiritual power should rival a Titled Douluo's.

After circling the outer edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Duan Qingya finally found an immortal herb suitable for Dugu Bo.

The immortal herb was glossy black throughout, with dark-green petals. Two flowers crowned its tip: one in full bloom, the other long since withered.

The blooming flower gave off a faint, sweet fragrance, while the withered flower resembled a skull.

Standing before the immortal herb, Duan Qingya used spirit-infused soul power to lift it out of the soil.

"Master, is this herb for me to eat?"

Sensing the immortal herb's aura, Azure Chi came out of the beast taming space on his own and perched on Duan Qingya's shoulder, flicking his tongue excitedly.

"It's not for you. I'm planning to make your Dragon Transformation Potion after you can fly. I don't want you turning into a Western dragon."

Duan Qingya explained to the food-loving Azure Chi while controlling the floating immortal herb.

"Is that your soul skill? What kind of soul beast did you get it from? How strange."

Seeing Duan Qingya make the immortal herb float puzzled Dugu Bo. Why would a green snake martial soul have a soul skill like this?

Only after placing the immortal herb inside a jade box did Duan Qingya turn to answer Dugu Bo.

"This is a self-created soul skill I developed based on my martial soul. What do you think, Senior Dugu Bo?"

"It's more useful for practical tasks than combat. If you weren't making potions, you could only bring it out to show off to others."

Hearing that Duan Qingya had created the soul skill himself, Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows. This boy kept bringing him surprises.

"When will you need the ten-thousand-year dragon species?"

"In a day. I need to preprocess these medicinal herbs now, or I won't be able to keep up later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Qingya bent his head, picked up his potion-making tools, and began processing the medicinal herbs.

"Senior Dugu Bo, don't just stand there either. Take some tools and help! How could I possibly process this many medicinal herbs by myself in a day?"

"I've noticed you always take a mile when given an inch, boy. You actually want me to do this kind of work? Careful, or I'll accuse you of abusing an old man!"

Despite his teasing, Dugu Bo accepted the tools Duan Qingya handed him and joined him in processing the medicinal herbs.

Only after working through the night did Duan Qingya and Dugu Bo finish processing all the medicinal herbs.

"Boy, I'm off to hunt a ten-thousand-year dragon-species soul beast. Get some sleep after you eat!"

Having finished breakfast, Dugu Bo rose and headed toward the poison formation. After spending so long in the Sunset Forest, he already had a rough target in mind.

Seeing Dugu Bo use spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cook porridge and stir-fry dishes, Duan Qingya could only say that Dugu Bo knew how to eat well.

Bang!

Jolted awake from his dreams, Duan Qingya sprang up from the stone bed inside the cave and hurried outside.

"Boy, how did you sleep? Do you have the energy to process this Blazing Fire Dragon Lizard now?"

An enormous lizard, seven or eight meters long and covered in crimson scales, lay behind Dugu Bo.
