Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 75: Ice and Fire
Seeing that Chen Ming was fine, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly towards the depths with Chen Ming.

During the walk, Chen Ming also discovered that the heat here was not always there, but changed with a certain rhythm, just like the breathing of some creatures, exchanging the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

After entering the deeper part, there was a thriving vitality. Just by casually looking around, Chen Ming saw several kinds of herbs that were very valuable in the outside world.

Some of these herbs grow very slowly, some bloom only in a short time, and some only grow in certain places. But here, these herbs that are expensive outside are like weeds on the roadside, growing together randomly without any sense of existence.

Chen Ming squatted down and poked the "weed" at his feet. After Dugu Bo nodded in agreement, he reached out and slowly pulled it out.

"A thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum? This shape, this color, this quality... In the outside world, this Polygonum multiflorum can be sold for at least a few thousand gold soul coins, right?"

Polygonum multiflorum is not a particularly precious medicinal material, but the value of aged Polygonum multiflorum is not low.

After a certain age, this thing can not only increase the speed of cultivation for humans, but also increase the age of soul beasts, and has entered the category of natural treasures. Because it has a mild and attributeless nourishing ability, it can usually only be seen at auctions.

Just this one Polygonum multiflorum, if placed in the outside world, at least a dozen Soul Lords and Soul Sects can gather together to cut it into pieces. Even if ordinary families use it for cultivation, they will carefully cut it into pieces for use.

In the eyes of Binghuo Liangyi, this is just a weed on the roadside. If Chen Ming didn't care, he would just step on it.

"This thing is worthless here." Dugu Bo felt very proud when he saw Chen Ming's old-fashioned look.

"There, there, and there..." Dugu Bo pointed to the surrounding area.

"In this large area, thousands of years old Polygonum multiflorum grow together in clusters, and their number is about the same as the weeds on the roadside. If you are interested, you can easily dig out a bunch of them in a while."

"Tsk..." Chen Ming made a "tsk..." sound, slowly stood up, casually put the Polygonum multiflorum into his storage soul guide, and then slowly cast his gaze into the depths.

"This is really a treasure land. Just these Polygonum multiflorum would be a great fortune if placed outside."

"Yeah." Dugu Bo nodded and agreed with Chen Ming's opinion, then he sighed dejectedly.

"Unfortunately, I don't recognize any of the herbs growing in the innermost part."

"Obviously, those things are the most valuable in this treasure land, but I can't recognize any of them."

"Many years ago, I followed my spirit's instinct and tried to eat a herb, but I ended up being tortured half to death. Even my spirit power dropped several levels, and I almost lost my life..."

"Hey, is there another similar herb here? I'd like to see what it is." Chen Ming suddenly became interested when Dugu Bo mentioned this topic.

Generally speaking, things guided by the spirit's instinct are good things. If you eat them, they won't be very nutritious, but at least they won't cause any problems.

The good things in this place are all magical herbs, and they must be very valuable.

If something went wrong after eating, it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the food. It may be that Dugu Bo took it in the wrong way, which caused the side effects. If the correct method of use is found, it may be of great benefit to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Those grasses." Dugu Bo thought for a while and pointed in a direction.

"There are a few similar plants over there, but their age is slightly worse than the one I ate at the beginning. Although I was tortured half to death at the beginning, I finally planted the seeds of the herb I ate back to the original place."

"How about we go and take a look first?" After thinking about his purpose, Dugu Bo became interested in the herb that almost killed him.

"Let's go and take a look." Chen Ming nodded and walked in the direction pointed by Dugu Bo.

After a while, Dugu Bo stopped with Chen Ming and pointed at the vines on the ground in front of Chen Ming. "These are the things." Looking at these vines, Dugu Bo shuddered, and recalled the ecstasy he felt at the beginning.

Chen Ming bent down and observed the vines carefully.

If it weren't for the fact that these vines still had roots on the ground, just looking at the appearance, Chen Ming would have thought that these vines were some kind of snake-like soul beast in disguise.

The vines on the ground have snake-like patterns. If you reach out and touch them, you can seem to feel a texture similar to scales.

There are several small buds on each vine. Looking closely, these small buds look like the claws of dragon spirit beasts.

Chen Ming pointed at them and found that the number of buds on these vines ranged from five to seven.

The most mature vine already looked somewhat like a snake-like soul beast with the blood of a dragon-like soul beast. The scale-like patterns on the vine were more distinct than those on the other vines.

Chen Ming could tell with his eyes that this thing was some kind of herb that had great benefits for snake soul masters and soul beasts, but the problem was that Chen Ming didn't recognize it.

The only magical herbs he knew of were those mentioned in the books in his previous life, but these vines were obviously not one of them.

"I don't have an illustrated guide to immortal herbs. Do I have to go to Yang Wudi, Ju Douluo or even Tang San to find a way to get knowledge about immortal herbs?"

Thinking of this, Chen Ming felt a little annoyed.

My martial soul is special, and some of the magical herbs in the original novel for the Shrek Seven Devils may not be the most suitable for me. But it is not easy to obtain the magical herbs illustration book. To put it another way, even if I get the magical herbs illustration book, it may not really record the magical herbs that are most effective for me.

"It would be great if the magic grass could speak for itself and tell me its name and medicinal properties."

Thinking of this, a light bulb seemed to light up in Chen Ming's head. He raised his head excitedly and clapped his hands, which scared Dugu Bo.

"Xiao Ming, are you okay? Could this thing have hallucinogenic toxins?"

"Grandpa, it's okay. I just thought that I might be able to identify the medicinal properties of this herb."

As Chen Ming spoke, he sat cross-legged on the ground and placed one of the vines with five small buds in his arms.

Closing his eyes, Chen Ming tried to mobilize his spirituality and test the magic grass in his arms little by little.

Spirituality is different from mental power. It is something more mysterious and difficult to describe in words. Mental power may not be able to identify the properties of medicine, but it does not mean that spirituality cannot.

　Because of the large number of words, I jumped directly from the first wave of recommendations to the third wave. It was a bit embarrassing to miss a wave of recommendations. The editor recommended Sanjiang to me in this round, but it was still 1000 copies short. I feel like I may have ruined Sanjiang...

　　Ahem, if it can be listed on Sanjiang, it will be on the shelves on the 1st of next month. If it can't be listed on Sanjiang, it will be put on the shelves in the fourth round of recommendations on the 29th of this month.

　　If it is published, I will publish 10 chapters on the first day. If it can be published on Sanjiang, I will publish 20 chapters on the first day of next month.

　　As of now, I still have 74 chapters in hand. My eyes have been a little inflamed these days, so I have only increased my daily writing from 1 words to 8000. I will go back to normal when my eyes get better.

　　I would never become a eunuch even if I were beaten to death.
