Douluo Continent: The Medicine Master Lives Inside My Body

Such a sacred and celestial place is indeed hard to leave, but even so, Elder Yao would not choose to destroy it.

There was one more thing that the old doctor didn't tell Yang Fan: after staying here for so long, his soul had become uncontrollably turbulent.

Under the cover of dusk, the master and apprentice emerged from the sunset forest.

……

"asshole!"

"I will definitely find out who you really are."

Dugu Bo returned a day later.

When he saw that the mysterious old man had already taken half of his carefully tended medicinal garden, he was so angry that green mist rose from his body.

However, when Dugu Bo saw the roots left behind after Yao Lao dug up the immortal herbs, he suddenly wasn't so angry anymore.

He could sense that the old herb master was also a lover of herbs; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to go out and hunt with him, wouldn't have left the roots intact when digging up the immortal herbs, and certainly wouldn't have taken only a portion.

"I will find you again."

Even if there were some points of mutual respect, Dugu Bo could not forgive that mysterious old man.

……

An unnamed mountain range in the Soul Beast Forest.

Yang Fan was lying in a valley. The valley was not large, only a few thousand square meters, and was surrounded by cliffs hundreds of meters high.

Such a feng shui treasure land is undoubtedly safe for Yang Fan.

This is his third day here.

This trip to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was undoubtedly a great success. Not only did they drive away Dugu Bo, but they also obtained the rare medicinal herbs they had been longing for.

His year-long preparation finally paid off!

"Ah~ Ha—"

The old apothecary floated out, yawning and swaying.

"Morning, Master!"

Yang Fan had just finished his cultivation last night.

"Take out the snow lotus seeds, herbal dew, and Yin spirit that I asked you to prepare before."

As the old apothecary spoke, he brought out his great treasure, the Black Demon Cauldron.

"Master, shall we refine pills?"

Based on Yang Fan's understanding of Yao Lao, the Black Demon Cauldron would only be used for pills of at least grade three quality.

The old master could easily refine first- and second-grade pills simply by holding them in his hand and playing with them.

"Silly boy, don't you want the Burning Technique to evolve?"

Yang Fan then realized that all those precious medicinal herbs that Yao Lao had asked him to prepare in Tian Dou City were for today.

"Master, thank you."

He cried so hard... okay!

"You think I've just been sleeping all year?"

"If your skills don't improve, that's your problem, but if your master can't help you when you need it most, then your master is incompetent."

After three days of recuperation, Yao Lao's soul state has recovered to most of its previous state. What he needs to do today is to use the immortal-grade Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass to refine medicine.

Yang Fan is right!

To devour the Fiery Apricot, you need to pair it with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass; otherwise, you might be burned to ashes.

Just like when he devoured the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, he made thorough preparations and brought plenty of pills before daring to take that step.

The Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass each contain fire poison and cold poison, respectively. If the two are neutralized, they can indeed be consumed, but the consequence of doing so is that the Fiery Apricot lacks its explosive power and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass becomes less domineering.

It's truly a bizarre and outlandish mess!

What he needs to do now is to remove the cold poison from the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, leaving only the cold attribute on the immortal herb.

When the old medicine master explained this part of the alchemy theory to Yang Fan...

"Master, I understand."

The cold attribute on the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass can effectively protect him from the burning sensation caused by the Fiery Apricot Blossom, but it will not neutralize or weaken the Fiery Apricot Blossom's explosive fire attribute.

Alchemy begins...

Although he had watched the old medicine master refine medicine many times, Yang Fan never tired of watching it.

……

The old man took out a small black square box from his storage ring. A thick layer of frost had already formed on it, which was caused by the effect of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and was also the method for storing the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

Under the suppression of Yao Lao's strange fire, Yang Fan finally saw this legendary celestial herb up close.

It was a large, white, eight-pointed flower with a stamen in the center that shimmered like ice crystals, but it had no fragrance whatsoever.

Yang Fan felt nothing but coldness!

The Xuan Tian Bao Lu records that the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass is an extremely cold herb that can make people feel cold and numb, causing numbness in the central nervous system. No one can stand within ten meters of it, and it is absolutely forbidden to eat it.

Now it seems... even the Xuan Tian Bao Lu (a historical text) contains a path to certain death!

Chapter 34 Incineration Evolution

After three hours of tempering by the strange fire, a faint fragrance of pills began to waft from the Black Demon Cauldron...

"The Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Pill can barely be considered a fifth-grade pill."

"Open it and take a look!"

Yang Fan, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, rubbed his hands together.

The moment the Black Demon Cauldron was opened, a chilling aura enveloped him.

From bone marrow to soul...

Yang Fan saw that his skin was covered with a thick layer of icy shavings.

The old man is very bad!

"You brat, have you forgotten what your master taught you?"

"When refining pills, you must use your battle qi to lock in the essence of the medicinal materials to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the pills."

“Low-grade pills are fine, but if they are high-grade pills with sentience, you can’t get them back even if you open them recklessly like that.”

"Remember?"

Yang Fan nodded, his teeth chattering.

Damn it... I'll remember that.

cold!!!

With a wave of his hand, Yao Lao dispelled the frost on Yang Fan's body with his powerful fighting spirit, and he gradually recovered after a few minutes.

"Master, what should I do now?"

Yang Fan looked at the octagonal Xuanbing Pill inside the Black Demon Cauldron, not even daring to touch it with his hands.

The divine herbs seem to have become even colder after being refined into elixirs!

"First, use your internal fighting spirit to protect your heart meridian, then take the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Pill, and within three breaths, take the Blazing Apricot Delight..."

Although the cold poison of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass has been refined, its original cold attribute still remains.

If Yang Fan doesn't use the explosive power of the fiery apricot to dispel the cold after taking it, he will definitely die from the freezing of his internal organs.

As he spoke, another celestial herb was taken out of the medicine ring by the old doctor.

The moment the fiery apricot blossom, representing the fire element, appeared, the chill in the room instantly subsided by more than half.

"Master, I'm ready... I'm ready!"

First time consuming flames!

Yang Fan was so nervous that he could hardly speak.

"let's start!"

"As long as you do as Master says, nothing will happen."

The old doctor's words undoubtedly gave Yang Fan tremendous confidence.

Yang Fan held his breath and concentrated, his internal fighting spirit beginning to gather towards his heart...

After his heart meridian was completely enveloped by battle qi, Yang Fan used his battle qi to lift the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Pill and put it into his mouth.

cold!!!

Yang Fan's body stiffened instantly, and strange ice appeared on his body surface.

Master, are you sure it's three breaths?

He felt as if he had turned into an ice sculpture in less than a breath.

Yang Fan even suspected that if he moved even slightly, a part of his body might fall off because it was too brittle.

Even a slight breath felt to him as if he had eaten ten thousand peppermints and then drunk a mouthful of Antarctic water.

"Now, hurry up!"

Yang Fan had no idea how many breaths had passed, but Yao Lao's words made him dare not hesitate at all.

He grabbed the fiery apricot blossoms with both hands and stuffed them into his mouth without a second thought!

Now, let alone a single fire grass, he'd even dare to gulp down bowl after bowl of lava.

The herb enters the throat...

The bone-chilling pleasure from before was gone, replaced by a ball of fire flowing down my throat.

Yes... it's a ball of flame!
