"If you had a Tool Martial Soul, this would be much easier!"
"You would only need to concentrate the toxins in your body within your Martial Soul, and every problem would unravel like bamboo splitting beneath a blade."
"But your biggest problem now is that you have a Beast Martial Soul. Only after each Martial Soul Possession do the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's toxins merge with your body."
"Although your Soul Power can mobilize and suppress them, these toxins build up little by little. Sooner or later, the day will come when your Soul Power can no longer suppress them."
"That is also why your toxins cause such tremendous damage to your body."
"If you want to retain the deadly poisons in your body without letting them harm you, you must find a host to serve as a vessel for storing them."
"I imagine that, with your strength, you must have at least one Soul Bone."
Dugu Bo was also a master of poisons. Hearing Su Yu's words, he immediately understood. "You mean I should force the toxins in my body into a Soul Bone, so they won't harm my own body anymore?"
"Yes, exactly. Aside from that, the only way to remove the poison is to dissolve all the poison cultivation you have built up!"
Dugu Bo frowned. "I've cultivated the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul for over seventy years. This poison won't be easy to force out. One wrong move, and I'm afraid the backlash would only be worse."
"Little Monster, you're not teaching me how to kill myself, are you?"
"If you were alone, these toxins certainly wouldn't be easy to deal with, but don't you have Uncle Ju and me here now?"
"Uncle Ju is well versed in pharmacology. As long as there are enough herbs, he'll definitely be able to develop a medicine to help you transfer the toxins!"
After hearing Su Yu out, Dugu Bo turned his gaze toward Yue Guan beside him, a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Chrysanthemum Douluo paid no attention to Dugu Bo's look. Confidence flashed in his eyes. "Old Poison, don't underestimate me. When it comes to handling poisons, you may be in a class of your own!"
"But when it comes to medicinal combinations, that's a craft passed down through my family. I, Yue Guan, have never feared anyone."
"Those herbs in that garden you mentioned, the ones you've never seen before-I know them all!"
"All right, I believe you. I'll take you to my garden now. Whatever medicinal ingredients you need, help yourselves!"
Dugu Bo summoned his Martial Soul and took Yue Guan and Su Yu to Sunset Forest.
After weaving through Sunset Forest for several thousand meters, Dugu Bo brought them to a poison formation.
Dugu Bo took out two pills and handed them to Yue Guan and Su Yu.
"Swallow these, or the poison inside might hurt you."
Su Yu had no doubts. He took a pill and swallowed it straight away.
Seeing Su Yu swallow his without hesitation, Yue Guan swallowed his as well.
Dugu Bo glanced at them, then led them straight inside.
Soon, under Dugu Bo's guidance, Yue Guan and Su Yu reached the mountaintop.
Once there, Yue Guan and Su Yu could not help being startled by the terrain before them.
Before them was actually an inverted, cone-shaped depression, and the mountaintop where they stood formed its rim.
Thick steam rose from the depression. It was extremely moist and carried a hint of sulfur's distinctive smell. There was a hot spring inside.
"Follow me."
Seeing their astonished expressions, Dugu Bo launched himself forward and leaped straight off the pitch-black mountainside before them, its bottom nowhere in sight.
Because of the thick mist and the darkness of night, coupled with the steepness of the cliff.
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo's figure had vanished into the mist.
"Uncle Ju, let's go down too!"
Yue Guan leaped down with Su Yu. After some dozen breaths, the two followed Dugu Bo into a valley.
Su Yu did not look at Dugu Bo, instead directing his gaze toward the scene within the valley before him.
To his slight surprise, the hot spring in the valley was different from what he had imagined.
At the center of the valley lay a hot spring. It was not large, but it was divided into two sections.
Within the oval pool, the hot spring water was actually milky white on one side and vermilion on the other.
Even stranger, although they occupied the same pool, they remained as distinct as two separate rivers, neither encroaching upon the other, each always keeping to its own side.
The billowing steam rose precisely from the boundary between the two kinds of spring water, continuously ascending until it slowly dispersed at the mouth of the valley.
This should be the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. One look at this pool tells me it's a treasure basin.
All around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well grew plants of every kind, in a thousand shapes and forms. It looked like a paradise for plants.
Every plant here, however, was a rare treasure. A single glance revealed plenty of good things.
Not far in front of him, near the edge of the milky-white spring, grew a cluster of things that looked like tiny insects. Those were snow silkworms, a type of cordyceps.
A little farther beyond the snow silkworms were cinnabar lotuses, blood ginseng, blood lotuses...
Almost all of them were thousand-year-old medicinal herbs. They were extraordinarily precious!
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo was somewhat excited to see these herbs, he was not thrilled.
Precious though they were, they were not so rare. Chrysanthemum Douluo himself had quite a few.
Suddenly, an unusual fragrance drifted through the air. Su Yu and Yue Guan looked toward its source.
It was a large, pale-pink flower without leaves, its stem three feet long. The blossom was enormous, measuring a full foot across.
Every petal looked as clear and translucent as crystal, and the pale-pink blossom swayed gently in the mist.
The flower grew on the bank of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Although they were still more than ten meters away, they could smell its faint, delicate fragrance.
Its stamens were pale purple, like purple diamonds set into place.
Though the fragrance traveled far, it was not overpowering. Its faint, fresh scent was as enchanting as a maiden's natural fragrance.
Was this the aromatic silk beauty?
It was the bane of all poisons, capable of neutralizing every toxin. It could not itself remove poison, but it could counter it.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had already covered his mouth, scarcely able to believe his eyes.
"That's! That's!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt his legs weaken a little. He! He! Never in his life had he imagined that he would actually see an immortal herb!
According to his family's compendium of flowers and herbs, these immortal herbs were all creations that seized the very workings of heaven and earth.
Each one had its own unique effects. This! If he was not mistaken, this immortal herb was the aromatic silk beauty!
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood beside Su Yu, rubbing his palms together incessantly.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! This medicinal herb is a legendary immortal herb!"
"Yes, Uncle Ju, this herb is the aromatic silk beauty!"
"Your Highness! I!"
"Yes, Uncle Ju, I know you like medicinal herbs!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo scampered eagerly toward the aromatic silk beauty, looking from behind like a three-hundred-jin child!
Once he drew close and clearly saw the immortal herb's appearance, he abruptly covered his mouth.
