Dugu Bo broke through after taking an Immortal Herb-were the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's flaws eliminated?
Holding the Immortal Herb, Dugu Bo showed little reaction. As far as he knew, this thing would not be much use to someone who was already a Titled Douluo.
After all, he had never eaten an Immortal Herb before, leaving a gap in his knowledge.
Still, no matter what, this was a token of Tang San's goodwill, and Dugu Bo appreciated it greatly.
"At least you've got a conscience, you little brat. Then I'll give this thing a taste. I've guarded this place for so long, but I've never actually tried the most miraculous ones."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo opened the box. Inside lay the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, which he picked up and consumed.
The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid's medicinal effects were gentle and rich. It could strengthen one's foundations and nourish one's vitality, was relatively easy to absorb, and would not clash with Dugu Bo's Martial Soul.
It could not have been more suitable for him to consume.
The moment it entered his mouth, Dugu Bo's expression changed. He sat down cross-legged for quite a while before opening his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.
"This Immortal Herb... is actually this miraculous?"
"You little brat, why didn't you tell me sooner!"
"If you had something like this, wouldn't it have been better to give it to my granddaughter Xiao Yan?"
Originally, Dugu Bo had thought this Immortal Herb was no different from the medicinal herbs he had previously sought to suppress his poison. Only now did he realize how enormous the difference was!
The gap between the two could be described as one being in heaven and the other underground.
Dugu Bo slowly rose, marveling as he felt the changes in his body.
He had only just consumed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, yet his long-stagnant Soul Power had actually shown signs of increasing again-and it was increasing rapidly!
It had actually risen by an entire level in one go!
Dugu Bo had originally been at the ninety-second level. After consuming it, he had broken straight through to the ninety-third level, and medicinal potency still lay hidden within his body.
The medicinal potency contained within this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid was truly frightening.
One had to remember that Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo. At his level, advancing even a single level was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Little Mon... Tang San, can this kind of Immortal Herb help my family's Martial Soul?"
As though something had occurred to him, a gleam flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and he asked, "You know the situation with our family's Martial Soul. It was already no easy task for me to find Xiao Yan a Soul Bone, but I can't guarantee that for the clansmen who come after her."
"If this keeps up, our family might disappear one day."
Aside from the increase in Soul Power, Dugu Bo discovered to his astonishment that the Jade Phosphorus Snake's poisonous backlash against his own body had also diminished considerably.
Originally, he needed to spend nearly two hours every day specifically purging the poison, forcing his Soul Power into his Soul Bone. But this was only a temporary measure; sooner or later, the poison in the Soul Bone would reach its limit.
Now, Dugu Bo needed only an hour to completely eliminate the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul's effects on his body. At the same time, he could sense that his Martial Soul's toxicity had not decreased, and even the amount of poison it released had increased.
Calling it Martial Soul Evolution would not have been an exaggeration; it simply had not changed in appearance.
This Immortal Herb was truly terrifying!
If it really could improve a Martial Soul...
Dugu Bo grew solemn. Looking straight at Tang San, he bowed with an utterly earnest expression.
"Tang San, you know how important this matter is to me."
"If there is one, no matter the price, I'll do my utmost to meet it. Even handing this old life of mine over to you would be nothing."
"For the sake of our friendship, if you can help, I hope you'll do everything you can."
Hearing this, Tang San hurriedly helped Dugu Bo straighten up.
"Don't worry, Dugu Bo. If there is one, I'll definitely help you."
"But your family's Martial Soul is truly unusual. It's still unclear whether Immortal Herbs would work."
"Each person can only consume one kind of Immortal Herb, so we have to be cautious. You're already set in your development, which is why I considered giving you this one. As long as it can improve your strength, that's fine."
"I'll keep this matter in mind. Don't worry."
After all, Dugu Bo was already so old that his family was not counting on this old man to spread its branches and leaves.
Of course, it was not actually impossible, but given Dugu Bo's temperament, he probably would not do so.
Hearing Tang San say this, Dugu Bo felt as though a great boulder had fallen from his heart, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Good. With this in your hands, I can rest easy."
"If you ever need help with anything, just say the word. I, Dugu Bo, have roamed unchallenged across the continent with my poison. As long as you don't provoke those few great sects, you can stir up whatever trouble you like!"
Hearing this, the corner of Tang San's mouth twitched.
Unfortunately, Old Poison, it's not just great sects I'm provoking. There are gods behind them too.
He did not expect Dugu Bo to be able to help him much. No matter what, Dugu Bo had given Tang San Immortal Herbs, and that alone was no small favor.
For now, Tang San did not dare guarantee that he could resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul's problem.
Speaking of which, this Martial Soul really was bizarre.
Could you imagine a snake poisoning itself to death?
Across the entire Douluo World, it seemed that only the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul was such an oddity. Even other poisonous Martial Souls were different.
At present, Tang San could think of only two solutions.
One was to find a way to improve the Mental Attribute of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul's wielder, thereby strengthening their control over the poison and forming a Poison Attribute Soul Core.
The second was to find an Immortal Herb that could make the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul evolve. But in the process, its toxicity might very well disappear completely, transforming it into a Dragon Type Martial Soul that followed another path.
Neither option was easy to accomplish right now, so Tang San could only keep the matter in mind.
After Tang San agreed, Dugu Bo heaved a great sigh of relief and patted his shoulder, his tone becoming considerably warmer.
"By the way, Xiao San, give that matter I mentioned before some thought."
"My granddaughter Dugu Yan is an unrivaled beauty. She's certainly a worthy match for you!"
"You'd be getting the better end of the bargain, you brat."
Seeing Dugu Bo bring this up again, Tang San rolled his eyes.
"What are you in such a hurry for? How old is your granddaughter, anyway? It's not as if she'll have trouble finding a husband."
"Do you have anything to do later? If not, come somewhere with me."
Dugu Bo immediately thumped his chest and said, "Nothing at all. Just say the word! Anywhere in the Heaven Dou Empire except the Imperial Palace, you can run wild wherever you like!"
Tang San was speechless for a moment. "Why are you so eager to stir up trouble? I'm just going out to discuss some business."
"Since you're free, that works out perfectly. Let's leave now."
With that, Tang San took Dugu Bo with him and headed toward Heaven Dou City.
Their destination: the Strength Clan!
After getting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's money, the next thing to consider was how to spend it.
What Tang San currently had in mind was to manufacture Hidden Weapons while also strengthening his own forces, making early preparations for any unexpected developments that might arise later.
Blacksmiths were indispensable for manufacturing Hidden Weapons.
As it happened, he could use this opportunity to bring the Strength Clan into his fold.
After learning that the Divine Realm's schemes lay behind the Shrek Seven Monsters' rebirth, Tang San had already begun preparing for what lay ahead.
His future enemies would certainly not be limited to the openly reborn Shrek Seven Monsters.
