Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 77: The Poison Nemesis
"Xiao Ming, how do you know the name of this thing? And what is that stone in your arms?"

Feeling embarrassed, Dugu Bo stammered and tried to change the subject, not wanting to continue to hurt his fragile heart.

"How should I put it..." Chen Ming organized his words.

"Actually, you don't have to tell me if it's inconvenient. After all, everyone has secrets. I'm just a little curious." Dugu Bo thought Chen Ming didn't want to say it, so he explained immediately.

"It's not that it's inconvenient. There's definitely no problem if I tell my own people about it. I just don't know how to describe it."

“I have a natural gift… I can feel very abstract things.”

"It's neither material nor spiritual, but something deeper, something that cannot be described in words. It's some kind of spiritual gift."

"Spirituality?" Dugu Bo didn't understand. He thought deeply about his impression of this word and then spoke tentatively.

"You mean the soul?" In this era when evil soul masters are almost extinct, few people can witness this form with their own eyes. Most people can only verify the soul from the side, by injecting the martial soul of the soul master and the soul ring of the soul beast after death.

As an old man, Dugu Bo had indeed seen souls with his own eyes and encountered ghosts born for various reasons. But he himself had no in-depth understanding of the soul.

"Similar, but different, because even things without souls have spirituality. With my current knowledge, it's hard to explain in words."

"Okay, Xiao Ming, you don't have to explain. I may not have the talent in this area." Dugu Bo, who had been hit many times in one day, gave up asking for trouble and began to think about happy things.

"Since you have a talent in this area, doesn't that mean you know the names and effects of all the herbs here?"

"I have been guarding this treasure for so many years, but I never expected that there would be a turn for the better today. It's really fate that plays tricks on me."

"Basically, they can all be distinguished." Chen Ming paused here and corrected the mistakes in Dugu Bo's words.

"But I didn't recognize it. They told me themselves. This pearl fairy grass was named in ancient times and its use is fixed, so I can describe it so clearly. If it is other fairy herbs, it may not be the same."

"But it is still possible to roughly understand the medicinal properties."

"That's good." Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with passion as he looked at the Nine-Curved Rising Dragon Grass.

"As for this stone, it was sent to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago. It is the remains of a 100,000-year-old soul beast that fell in the Blue Sky Gorge. It is something close to a dragon pill, but it is quite damaged and does not have many functions for the time being."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Dugu Bo felt a little headache when he heard Chen Ming address Xue Qinghe.

He had been saved by Prince Xuexing once before, so he had been on Prince Xuexing's side all these years. Although the favor had been repaid long ago, he still had a close relationship with Prince Xuexing all these years.

As everyone knows, Prince Xuexing doesn't like the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. And Crown Prince Xue Qinghe doesn't like his uncle either. Although the two sides haven't reached the point of fighting each other, at least they can be said to be incompatible.

Now Chen Ming has a close relationship with me, and he is also close to the prince.
"Forget it, forget it. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why should I care so much? Anyway, I have repaid the favors I owed to you. I have been a nominal worshiper these years. Why should I interfere in the internal affairs of the royal family?"

Dugu Bo was too lazy to care about political matters, and after a slight headache, he stopped paying attention to them and continued to focus on his own affairs.

"Xiao Ming, do you think I can continue to eat this herb? If I can't eat it, can Yanyan eat it?"

"Theoretically, you can eat it, but because you have already eaten it once and have condensed your inner elixir, the effect of this pearl herb will be discounted. Although it will not be so painful if you continue to eat it, it will only improve the quality of your martial soul at most."

"As for Yanyan..." Chen Ming thought for a moment and shook his head hesitantly.

"This pearl herb is used to stimulate the origin, and then the medicinal properties are used to assist in forming a dragon pill. But Yanyan's soul power level is too low, and the origin of her martial soul is not strong enough. After eating the herb, she will definitely fail to form a pill."

"You have to reach level 40 and obtain the fourth soul ring before you can take this fairy grass to make pills..." "Yan Yan can't eat it for the time being?" Dugu Bo was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he didn't care too much. After all, this thing has such a great effect. If there is no restriction at all, Dugu Bo would suspect that Chen Ming is lying.

"Leave a few good ones for Yanyan. After Yanyan has finished her upgrade, I'll eat one or two of the remaining beads to upgrade my martial soul. Is this okay?" Dugu Bo rubbed his hands and began to imagine the scene of his martial soul turning into a dragon.

"I suggest you control the toxins first before eating. Otherwise, if it gets out of control, it might be better not to eat it."

Chen Ming's cold words brought Dugu Bo back to reality. He looked at the Nine-bend Rising Dragon Grass on the ground that he usually wanted to avoid, and felt a pain in his heart.

"I didn't know the effect before and didn't dare to eat it. Now that I know the effect, I still can't eat it. What a sin."

Dugu Bo complained, turned around, and forced himself not to look at the treasures on the ground. But when his eyes fell on the herbs in the distance that he didn't recognize on weekdays, Dugu Bo's heart still beat fast.

"Since this pearl grass has such a powerful ability, then the other flowers and plants should be similar, right? Are there any other good things that Yanyan and I can eat?"

"It is said that there are magical herbs on the mainland that can increase innate soul power after eating. Who knows, there may be one or two in my yard? After Yanyan eats them, will her talent be further improved?"

Dugu Bo rubbed his hands and felt his mouth was dry.

This feeling of excitement was exactly the same as when he first entered this precious land.

Chen Ming stood up, and instead of putting the dragon ball back, he held it in his hand and slowly began to explore to the side.

As Chen Ming explored, the magical herbs that originally appeared in the original work also appeared in front of Chen Ming one after another.

The most attractive thing is the light pink fragrant fairy product, because the effect of this thing is too special.

Chen Ming just took a breath of the fragrance when he passed by, and his poisonous power was suppressed in an instant.

It was strange that his poison attribute soul power was purified, but it did not cause any harm to him at all. When he was a little further away, he could feel that the poison attribute soul power in his body had returned to normal.

But the strange thing was that Dugu Bo, who was standing by, did not feel the detoxification effect of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product. Looking at Chen Ming's startled expression, he still didn't quite understand.

"Xiao Ming, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the grass?"

"Grandpa, didn't you feel that the poison in your body was suppressed immediately when you approached this pearl flower?"

Chen Ming pointed at the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product and asked Dugu Bo.

"No? I feel normal." Dugu Bo took a few steps closer, feeling the soul power in his body, and spread his hands towards Chen Ming, with a strange look on his face.

"Grandpa, why don't you try releasing some poisonous soul power?" Thinking of the effect of the Pearl Fairy Grass mentioned in the original book and Dugu Bo's condition, Chen Ming had a bold idea.

Dugu Bo heard this, raised his hand, and released a little bit of poison attribute soul power. In order to prevent the fairy grass from being destroyed by himself, this small amount of poison attribute soul power was very weak, and Dugu Bo controlled it very well. But the moment it appeared, the poison attribute in the soul power was purified, and it turned into soul power without attributes.

Dugu Bo didn't believe it, and released a stronger poisonous soul power. However, as soon as the soul power appeared, it was instantly purified into pure attributeless soul power.

Dugu Bo was a little angry and released a pure toxin. However, the toxin was not as effective as his poison attribute soul power, because at least after the poison attribute soul power was purified, it could still feel the soul power, while Dugu Bo's poison dissipated completely the moment it was released, as if it had never appeared.

This strange result frightened Dugu Bo, and he quickly avoided the area covered by the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product.
