Immortal Herbs Everywhere, but Not a Single Pharmacopoeia

The next day.

It was just dawn.

Dugu Bo then placed a jade bowl filled with clear water in front of everyone.

"Today's Rules."

"Do not pick directly."

"Do not take."

"We must prevent the Martial Soul's true form from encountering any unidentified herbs."

Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather.

"Then how do we determine that?"

"Use your eyes."

Dugu Bo said.

"Use your own abilities."

"I can tell you who I know."

"I don't know them."

"Nobody should pretend to know."

He finished speaking.

He casually pointed to a purple flower in the distance.

The petals are funnel-shaped.

The underside of the leaves is covered with tiny black dots.

That plant is called Purple Poison Bell.

Pollen can paralyze respiration.

"The roots, however, can alleviate some of the cold toxins."

"Just look at the flowers."

"It's poison."

"Only look at the root."

"It's also medicine."

So don't judge the things here based on whether they're poisonous or not.

Li Man nodded.

She didn't rush to find herbs suitable for Dugu Yan.

Instead, the valley floor was first divided into four areas.

Near the cold spring.

Near the fire spring.

Central border.

The surrounding area is in a relatively calm state.

Different plant growing locations.

It is itself the most direct attribute hint.

Dong Jian walked along the outer edge of the valley.

Stay away from medicinal herbs.

The distribution of the root system can be determined solely by Earth Vein Perception.

soon.

He discovered that the plants here were different from ordinary herbs.

Ordinary plant roots compete for water and nutrients.

The plants around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well each seemed to occupy their own independent area.

Their powerful life forces repel each other.

The root systems rarely intertwine.

Only a few plants.

It can extend towards both the cold spring and the fire spring simultaneously.

"This one."

Dong Jian stopped in front of a patch of seemingly ordinary pale yellow flowers.

A drop of clear dew is at the heart of the flower.

The roots are not deep.

At the same time, it branches out into small veins on both sides of the Yin Yang Well.

Li Man didn't touch it.

It releases only a very weak bamboo tendril on the outer edge.

The bamboo shoots are three steps away.

It did not wither.

There was no freezing or burning.

Instead, it transmitted back an extremely clear mental fluctuation.

It is neither too hot nor too cold.

Li Man said.

"Its vitality is also not as strong as other herbs."

Dugu Bo walked over.

I glanced at it.

"I don't know him."

"You've never touched it before?"

Dugu Yan asked.

"It looks like dewdrops."

Dugu Bo said:

"But there were no insects or beasts around it."

"I won't eat indiscriminately just to satisfy my curiosity."

Dong Jian looked at the dewdrop on the flower.

The sunlight sets.

The dew does not reflect light.

Instead, it's as if it's absorbing the light.

He only watched for a little while longer.

My eyes started to sting slightly.

My mind was even clearer than before.

It affects one's mental state.

Dong Jian said.

A flicker of interest crossed Dugu Bo's eyes.

"Make a note of it."

Li Man used a bamboo strip to draw the first mark on the ground.

Unnamed.

Write only:

Outside the center.

No obvious chills or fever.

Mental health.

No contact for now.

Keep moving forward.

One side of the fire spring.

A bright red herb stands out prominently.

The leaves are narrow and long.

The center is like a burning sun.

The surrounding air was constantly distorted.

Five steps away.

The skin will then feel a noticeable burning sensation.

Li Man's bamboo whiskers had just approached.

Not yet.

The edges began to turn yellowish-brown.

"Plant sensors cannot be used."

She immediately withdrew it.

Dugu Bo said:

"When I first saw it..."

"I once threw a piece of pig iron at it."

Less than ten breaths.

The iron block was glowing red-hot.

Is it poisonous?

Dong Jian asked.

"Have no idea."

Dugu Bo answered.

"But eat it directly."

"You'll definitely be burned to death first."

Opposite the fiery red herb.

On the other side of the cold spring.

An octagonal white herb was growing there.

The center is like an ice crystal.

Every leaf was covered in frost.

The surrounding ground was frozen white.

A small insect that had wandered into the vicinity had just crawled closer.

His body stiffened instantly.

It turned into ice shards.

Dugu Yan frowned.

These two plants.

"Extremely hot."

"An extremely cold place."

The black and white Soul Power within Dong Jian's body showed obvious reactions at the same time.

When near the fiery red herb.

The white Soul Power flowed faster.

The black Soul Power then contracted inward.

When near the white ice grass.

The black Soul Power became calm.

The white Soul Power kept repelling outwards.

Approach any one of them individually.

Both types of Soul Power will become unbalanced.

After leaving.

It slowly recovered.

They cannot be touched alone.

Dong Jian said.

Dugu Bo looked at him.

On what basis should we make this judgment?

"My Martial Soul will be suppressed by one of them."

"The other side will get out of control."

"If taken."

Dong Jian said:

The result may not be reinforcement.

"It's a complete split between black and white Soul Power."

The warning from the Divine Dragon Secret Realm also proves this point.

Intrusion by any single extreme attribute.

All of these will lead to the collapse of the Martial Soul structure.

Li Man stood between two medicinal herbs.

Observe their location relative to the spring.

They happen to grow at the extremes of cold and heat.

"It's close to the center of the spring."

"The fluctuations in years and lifespans are also similar."

"There may be mutual restraint."

Dugu Bo sneered.

"It may also be taken at the same time."

"Makes people die faster."

Therefore, verification is required.

Li Man answered.

Dugu Bo glanced at her.

There were no objections.

The group continued their search.

Behind the cold spring.

A plant, entirely white with petals like orchids, exudes a gentle life force.

When Ye Lingling approached.

Nine Heart Begonia appeared on its own in the palm of the hand.

The petals trembled gently.

"It resonates with my Martial Soul."

Ye Lingling said.

"Preferring treatment?"

Dugu Yan asked.

"More like stability."

Ye Lingling answered.

It didn't actively fix anything.

"It simply makes the flow of Soul Power in the Nine Heart Begonia smoother."

Li Man noted down the location.

Between the outer rocks.

A large, golden-yellow flower slowly opened.

The petals resemble those of a tulip.

There was no strong odor in the vicinity.

After Li Man approached.

The Green Jade Bamboo vibrated gently inside her body.

It's not due to hot or cold stimulation.

Rather, it is an attraction stemming from the very essence of Martial Soul.

She stopped in her tracks.

"This one."

Dugu Bo asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Green Jade Bamboo wants to get closer."

"Then let's move closer."

"No."

Li Man shook her head.

"The Martial Soul wants it."

"That doesn't mean the body can handle it."

She did not make contact rashly.

Note down the location of the golden flower separately.

The next half day.

The group then identified more than ten other potentially valuable plants.

Some strengthen muscles and bones.

Some have stable meridians.

Some are highly poisonous.

However, it can suppress another type of toxicity.

However, they still couldn't name most of the correct names.

I don't know the complete instructions for taking it.

noon.

Dugu Bo captured three Ten-Year Soul Beast.

A rock rat.

A blue-scaled lizard.

A young venomous spider.

"It's not about letting them taste the Immortal Herb."

Dugu Bo said.

"Just testing the surrounding atmosphere."

He placed the three Soul Beast into different areas.

A rock rat near the fiery red herb.

His body temperature rose in less than five breaths.

The fur is curly.

Dugu Bo immediately rescued it.

A blue-scaled lizard near the Octagonal White Grass.

The movement quickly slowed down.

A white frost appeared on the scales.

They were also taken away.

The poisonous spider was placed between the two medicinal herbs.

At the very beginning.

It is affected by both cold and heat.

The body continued to struggle.

However, when Dugu Bo used his Soul Power to draw out a trace of the aura emitted by each of the two herbs...

When they come into contact with the venomous spider.

The chills and fever did not erupt simultaneously.

Instead, it temporarily offsets the effect.

The poisonous spider lay prone on the ground.

My body is still weak.

But he did not die immediately.

"They truly restrained each other."

Dugu Yan said.

"Just an aura."

Dugu Bo offered a reminder.

"The power of herbs in their raw form will be many times stronger."

Li Man looked at the spring.

"If both cold and heat enter the body at the same time."

We need another place outside to expend our excess strength.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Dong Jian said.

Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Two medicinal herbs grow on either side of the Yin Yang Well.

The spring water itself is an even more extreme source of hot and cold.

Taking them together can temporarily balance the effects.

Then enter the spring.

Perhaps true integration can be achieved through the environment.

It could also happen the instant it enters the water.

It was completely destroyed.

"Don't think about taking it yet."

Qin Ming said.

He has never been involved in the identification of medicinal herbs.

But as a teacher...

The two students must be stopped from gambling with their lives when they are not sure of the outcome.

"What is the purpose of our visit here?"

"It's to cure Dugu Yan's poison."

"It's not about letting Dong Jian test the drug."

"The directions may be the same."

Dong Jian said.

"My black and white Soul Power can externally stabilize her cold and hot toxins."

"But only a very small portion can be fixed now."

"If the black and white Soul Power truly form a cycle."

"Perhaps it can stabilize stronger toxicity."

Qin Ming frowned.

"Maybe."

"That's not a sufficient reason."

Dong Jian did not refute.

He knew Qin Ming was right.

All judgments at present.

All of these are based on observation and limited testing.

This is far from sufficient to prove that taking them together is necessarily safe.

evening.

The group returned to their temporary camp.

Li Man reclassified all the records.

Category 1.

Known name and some functions.

Based on Dugu Bo's experience.

Category 2.

There is a clear resonance between the Martial Soul.

However, its effect is unknown.

Category 3.

Extremely dangerous.

They may restrain each other.

Category 4.

Specialized areas such as mental health, physical and muscular development, and treatment.

Dong Jian looked at the record of the pale yellow flower.

Clear dew at the center of the flower.

His mental state was clear.

It didn't attract Martial Soul as strongly as the Ice and Fire Twin Grasses.

But it repeatedly drew his attention back.

"You've been watching it."

Li Man said.

"After looking at it for a while."

"The flow of Soul Power around us will become clearer."

"It could just be that it's influencing your judgment."

So I didn't touch it.

Dong Jian answered.

night.

The notification for the Divine Dragon Secret Realm has reappeared.

There is no name listed for the herb.

There are only three fuzzy judgments.

"Plants that thrive in extremely cold conditions."

"Contains a high concentration of negative ions."

"Absorbing it alone increases the probability of the Number Zero Martial Soul collapsing."

"Extremely hot plants."

"Contains a high concentration of positive source."

"Absorbing it alone increases the probability of the Number Zero Martial Soul collapsing."

"Central Dewdrop Plant."

"Contains a high purity of Spiritual Origin."

Physical enhancement is limited.

"Can increase the upper limit of perception."

"Warn."

"The usage methods for this unknown plant are not included."

"Unable to provide a security solution."

Dong Jian opened his eyes.

The secret realm confirmed the location of the three plants.

But they didn't tell him how to pick it.

How to eat it.

They didn't tell him how much to take either.

The ground is covered with rare treasures.

However, they did not have a pharmacopoeia that could provide the answer directly.

Each of the remaining steps.

You still need to make your own judgment.

Before going to bed.

Li Man suddenly asked:

Are you really going to take those two plants?

Dong Jian did not answer immediately.

"The method hasn't been determined yet."

"That's what I asked."

"After determining the method."

Dong Jian looked at the two plumes of mist in the distance, one cold and one hot.

"Meeting."

Li Man stopped holding the bamboo strip.

Why does it have to be you?

"Because I only have my own Martial Soul at the moment."

"It reacts to both sides simultaneously."

"This could also mean that your Martial Soul is most easily torn apart by them."

Li Man said.

Dong Jian did not deny it.

"Therefore, we need to find a way to prevent it from being torn apart."

Li Man put down her notes.

"Let's verify it tomorrow."

"Before verification."

You cannot pick them.

Dong Jian nodded.

"Good."

Outside the camp.

Cold mist and warm air converged above the valley.

The fiery red herb still radiated light.

The Octagonal White Grass, in the night, resembles a block of ice that will never melt.

Between the two medicinal herbs.

The central boundary of the spring.

It has always maintained a fragile yet stable balance.
