Water and fire forge a golden body, four great immortal herbs all to himself-without me, you still want immortal herbs?

Dugu Bo had already prepared to pack up and run. Just as he was about to deal with the immortal herbs before him, he suddenly sensed something and stopped what he was doing, puzzled.

"That kid isn't dead yet?"

With his powers of perception, he could naturally sense that Tang San was not dead. He was alive and well, and even the presence he gave off was growing stronger.

Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, drawing the two overwhelmingly domineering forces of water and fire into his body.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass were both lethally poisonous, but by neutralizing one another, they had instead become treasures the human body could absorb.

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

Tang San leaped out of the spring and landed steadily beside it, looking toward Dugu Bo, who had been standing ahead of him all along.

"Well, Senior Dugu? I've neutralized your poison. Can you trust me now?"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened at the sight of Tang San appearing alive and kicking. Even though he was a Titled Douluo who had roamed the continent for decades, this was the first time he had been so shocked.

"You... you're actually fine?"

No one knew better than Dugu Bo how domineering this spring water was. Now that he had personally seen a living person leap out of it, words could not describe his shock.

Then Dugu Bo frowned and rubbed his chin.

"You have indeed neutralized the poison in your body, but the poison in mine is different. It isn't so easy to cure. Curing yourself doesn't mean you can cure me."

Tang San chuckled and summoned his medicine-refining equipment. He had arranged for the people from Spirit Hall to prepare all of it before he came.

"Don't worry, I have my methods. Your poison arts have already fused with your body. Forcibly removing the poison would only strip you of all your poison arts."

"But with the antidote I prepare, you can force the toxins into a Soul Bone. Only then can this succeed."

As he listened to Tang San, Dugu Bo's expression shifted back and forth. Only after a long period of thought did he nod.

"All right, I agree."

This poison had tormented him day and night for decades. Such pain was not something just anyone could endure.

Tang San nodded. "All right, then. Sorry for the trouble, Senior Dugu, but please go back and let Elder Yue Guan know, so he won't worry. I'll start preparing your antidote now."

The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. "You brat, you haven't even started preparing it, and you're already ordering me around?"

Despite his words, Dugu Bo obligingly turned and left.

Watching Dugu Bo leave, Tang San raised an eyebrow and casually squeezed out several dozen drops of blood. After taking the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, his blood was the most important medicinal catalyst, making the medicine very easy to refine.

After easily finishing the medicine, Tang San turned toward the immortal herbs near the spring's eye and rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with eagerness.

"Next comes the main event..."

Having already replaced God King Tang and broken with the Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang San naturally would not settle for taking only two immortal herbs.

The first one he took next was the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. This herb was emerald green all over, with three snow-white leaves growing in its center and dewdrop-like beads of water gathered on them.

After taking it, one could develop Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils and see through all things.

At the same time, its medicinal nature was mild and would not clash with the two immortal herbs inside Tang San.

After taking the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Tang San sat meditating beside the formation's core, and a flash of purple light passed through his eyes.

"The Purple Demon Eye evolved along with it..."

Tang San did not stop there. Next, he took the Nine-Grade Immortal Ganoderma, the finest of ganodermas. It could strengthen one's foundation, nourish one's vitality, replenish Qi, and enhance cultivation, and its medicinal effects were equally gentle.

A full two hours passed after he swallowed it before Tang San opened his eyes. Several strands of Blue Silver Grass appeared at his feet. They looked the same on the outside, but inside, they had become considerably tougher.

This was the effect of the Nine-Grade Immortal Ganoderma: it could strengthen the essence of a Martial Soul.

Even after it evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, this enhancement would remain. In other words, Tang San's current Martial Soul was already going to be stronger than God King Tang's.

At the same time, a small hammer appeared in his hand. It was exceedingly ancient and simple in appearance, and now several more profound patterns had appeared on it, making it look even more mysterious.

Under the effects of the Nine-Grade Immortal Ganoderma, the Clear Sky Hammer had also evolved again, gaining an even greater sense of power.

"Not bad."

Tang San nodded in satisfaction and sensed the Soul Power inside him. By taking the latter two immortal herbs, he had digested much of the medicinal power of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Together with the effects of the Nine-Grade Immortal Ganoderma, his Soul Power had now reached Level 38.

With a rush of wind, Dugu Bo appeared again, a little more surprise in his eyes as he looked at Tang San.

"Oh? Your Soul Power has increased again? You brat, are you treating my place as somewhere to cultivate?"

In excellent spirits, Tang San laughed and flicked the pills he had refined toward him.

"I have you to thank for all of this, Senior Dugu."

"I've finished refining the medicine. Take it once every day at midnight. You only need to force your toxins into a Soul Bone."

Dugu Bo's eyes flashed. He caught the pills, examined them tentatively, then swallowed them.

The moment he swallowed them, his expression immediately changed.

"This is..."

Dugu Bo immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the medicinal power surge through his body. Only after a long time did he open his eyes, which were filled with wild joy.

While gathering the toxins into his Soul Bone, he vaguely sensed signs that the Level 91 bottleneck he had failed to break through for years was actually beginning to crack!

After Level 90, every level was an enormous bottleneck. Dugu Bo had remained at Level 91 for a full ten years. Now that signs of a breakthrough had suddenly appeared, he was instantly beside himself with joy.

"I underestimated you, kid. Not bad!"

Medicine and poison were inseparable, and Dugu Bo was also an expert in medicine. The moment it entered his mouth, he knew Tang San had not deceived him. His gaze softened considerably, gaining a measure of appreciation for talent.

"To understand poison so well at such a young age... tsk, tsk, tsk. If only you weren't the Supreme Pontiff's disciple."

"Three conditions. Once my granddaughter and I are both cured, I'll fulfill every last one."

Hearing this, Tang San nodded without paying it much mind. He had deliberately increased the dosage somewhat precisely to cure Dugu Bo sooner. Unlike God King Tang, he did not have the leisure to spend more than half a year in Sunset Forest.

Leaving aside whether Spirit Hall would agree, he himself could not stand staying with an old monster all that time. Wouldn't returning to Spirit Hall to see Bibi Dong be much better?

"No problem. As long as you take the medicine on time, your poison will be cured in less than a year. Your granddaughter's poisoning is less severe, so she'll recover considerably faster than you."

"There's no rush to use all three conditions. There's something I want to ask of you first."

As he spoke, Tang San pointed at the immortal herbs beside the spring's eye. "I want to take these immortal herbs away."

At these words, Dugu Bo's expression turned frosty, and several dark lines appeared on his forehead.

"You little brat really don't stand on ceremony."

He was already a Titled Douluo, so these medicinal herbs were of negligible help to him.

Moreover, there were many herbs here that Dugu Bo did not recognize. He did not dare eat them recklessly in his daily life, so he did not value them all that much, provided Tang San did not dig up this whole place and take it away from him.

Still, these medicinal herbs had been with Dugu Bo for over a decade. People had feelings, and the reclusive Dugu Bo was no exception. He could not help feeling a little pained.

After considering it over and over, Dugu Bo nodded.

"All right. But I'm warning you, kid: don't eat them recklessly. If you eat yourself to death, I won't be responsible."

That was exactly what Tang San had been waiting for. With a laugh, he immediately took out the assorted boxes he had prepared and swept up every immortal herb near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

These immortal herbs might not be very useful to a Titled Douluo, but for lower-level Soul Masters, it was an entirely different story.

Even though Tang San had already taken the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and could no longer take many of the other immortal herbs, these herbs still held great significance. Wouldn't it be good to give them to people from Spirit Hall or others and gain a few more followers?

Again, the other six monsters were replaceable, but the God King was indispensable. By following Tang San, anyone substituted in whose foundation was not too weak could become a god just the same!

After putting away the immortal herbs, a cold smile curled across Tang San's face.

"Gangzi and the others still want to come here looking for immortal herbs? Not a chance!"

Tang San wanted to see whether the other Shrek Six Monsters could still develop so well without the help of the immortal herbs.

If nothing else, Gangzi himself probably would not be able to break through Level 30 for the rest of his life.
