Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Since you and your granddaughter have joined the sect, we are all one family. Your affairs are my affairs, and I will do my best to help you and your granddaughter solve your problems."

"I will now teach you the method of condensing the soul core. Try it out first. As for truly condensing the soul core, wait until I prepare the medicine for you and see if you can evolve your martial soul before you condense the soul core."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao connected with Dugu Bo through a mental link, saying, "Senior, don't resist. I will teach you the method of the Soul Core."

This Soul Core Technique was specially tailored for Dugu Bo. He passed on the Soul Core Technique that his teacher had taught him to Gu Qingming and Gu Xuanying. With the vision and knowledge of the two God-Kings, they naturally and easily modified it into a Soul Core Technique suitable for Dugu Bo.

If Dugu Bo knew that he was fortunate enough to have the God King personally help him solve his martial soul problem, he would probably be very bold to act.

Dugu Bo focused intently on receiving the information transmitted by Huo Yuhao. Although he had just come into contact with it and did not understand it deeply, the ingenious structure of the soul core still greatly impressed him. He now felt that joining this force seemed like a pretty good idea.

He's now so eager to condense his soul core and then go find his old rival to see if he can crush that old chrysanthemum.

Having finally completed the transmission of the Soul Core Technique, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the ground, lost in deep immersion in its meaning.

Huo Yuhao then turned his attention to the herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

It's time to harvest them.

"Inviting someone to a banquet to be beheaded and then taking them in as dogs—that's a pretty good tactic, isn't it?" Gu Xuanying's clear and melodious voice rang out.

Gu Qingming's calm and gentle voice followed, "Is it possible that we were also taken in in this way?"

Huo Yuhao remained silent. He had indeed used this method to deal with Dugu Bo and the Ice and Fire Dragon King—a combination of sweet persuasion and harsh measures—to make them obediently join his forces. However, he couldn't admit it to the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

Gu Xuanying's anger was easily provoked by Gu Qingming. "Gu Qingming, if you want to be a dog, you go be one. I am the Dragon King, not some dog! Besides, I was invited to join Yuhao's forces voluntarily, not threatened into it."

Gu Qingming said calmly, "Is that so? But I remember you were just a little maid."

Gu Xuanying roared, "Gu Qingming, do you want to fight?"

Gu Qingming said calmly, "Only a brainless person would think of taking action at the drop of a hat."

However, Gu Xuanying had already begun to take action.

When Huo Yuhao entered his spiritual sea, he saw that his spiritual sea had been dyed red and blue by the two of them, facing off in the air.

Huo Yuhao had a headache. He felt that these two Dragon Kings were really old enemies and mortal adversaries.

We need to find a way to get them to switch tracks, so they don't keep arguing and getting physical. Otherwise, how can he live with them in the future?

"Please stop fighting, seniors. I have great respect for you. I only tricked you back then to protect myself. Now you are all my family and partners. We share the same fate. If this fight continues, it will not benefit any of us."

Seeing that the two were still fighting, Huo Yuhao activated his Succubus Body.

Then, his spiritual sea turned pink.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings quickly collapsed in front of Huo Yuhao, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. A strange feeling filled their gazes towards Huo Yuhao with longing.

Huo Yuhao remained expressionless and asked calmly, "Now, will you two dragon maids be able to listen to me properly?"

Offering a meal to behead someone and then accepting their servitude is a tactic that no one says can't be used repeatedly with your own people.

Chapter 149. Giving Dugu Bo a Snow-White Swan Kiss?

149.

Huo Yuhao looked at the Water and Fire Dragon King with a cold expression.

They looked incredibly alluring at that moment, with rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes, heaving breasts, and delicate feet like ice cream.

Perhaps because dragons are inherently lustful, or perhaps because the two of them were living directly inside Huo Yuhao's body, Huo Yuhao slightly activated his succubus body, and the two of them couldn't bear it, showing a look of utter collapse with their mouths open and eyes rolling back.

Huo Yuhao was not tempted by their alluring appearances at all. After deactivating his succubus body, he quietly waited for the two to recover.

Seeing that their eyes had regained their clarity, Huo Yuhao said seriously, "My two dragon maids, you are both remnant souls of God-King level after all. You should stop fighting in the future, otherwise my spiritual sea will not be able to withstand such torment from you two."

Gu Xuanying's pretty face was full of indignation, "She was the one who started it."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Xuanying indifferently, his pink spiritual energy surrounding her, forming a circle, eager to try.

Gu Xuanying shrank back and begged for mercy, "Please move your strange mental energy away. I admit my mistake. From now on, as long as she doesn't provoke me, I won't hit her."

Gu Qingming lowered her head and frankly admitted her mistake, "We were wrong. We may have argued, but we really shouldn't have resorted to violence."

Huo Yuhao's expression softened slightly. "You two can argue from now on, but you can't fight. You're practically fugitives from the God Realm now, and I'm being watched by the gods. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

This is fine in Douyi, but if we go back to Douyi and Tang San discovers that he has two remnant souls of God-King level, he might have to go down to the mortal realm himself.

The Water and Fire Dragon Kings provide a perfectly legitimate reason, and even the God of Destruction might support Tang San.

Therefore, after going to the second battle, you need to make the Water and Fire Dragon King behave.

Huo Yuhao warned the two of them several times before finally bringing up the matter of the herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Sisters, do you recognize these rare and exotic flowers and herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

Gu Xuanying pursed her lips and snorted, "You called me the Dragon Maid a moment ago, but now you know to call me sister, huh?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and asked, "Gu Xuanying, do you recognize these exotic flowers and plants?"

Gu Xuanying's face immediately fell, while Gu Qingming smiled and said, "You've come to the right person. Among the nine Dragon Kings, we are the most familiar with these rare flowers and herbs."

Gu Xuanying snorted, "Do you think these exotic flowers and herbs here appeared out of thin air? They are, of course, left behind by us. Moreover, I am a master alchemist, and I can maximize the effects of these medicinal herbs. If you are polite to me, I might be able to give you some pointers."

Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Qingming. Since she was familiar with these rare flowers and herbs, she should also know how to make medicine, right?

Gu Qingming gently shook his head, "I'm only good at cultivating these rare flowers and herbs, I don't know anything about alchemy."

A bright smile spread across Gu Xuanying's face.

Huo Yuhao sighed, then his face lit up with anticipation. "Sister Xuanying, can you teach me how to refine medicine?"

"Call me 'sister' again." Gu Xuanying's bright red eyes gleamed with smugness.

"Sister Xuanying. Is it okay now?" Huo Yuhao thought she was a flexible person, so he decided to let the fire dragon maid be smug for a while.

Standing to the side, Gu Qingming glanced at Gu Xuanying with a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes. "A dragon that's been around for millions of years, and you still have Yuhao call you 'sister,' ha—"

Gu Xuanying just glared back triumphantly, then said excitedly to Huo Yuhao, "You regain your consciousness first, and I'll teach you on the spot."

Huo Yuhao nodded and then withdrew from his mental sea.

Under the guidance of the Fire Dragon King, they gradually learned the properties of each herb and how to combine it with other herbs.

Time passed slowly, and an afternoon went by in the blink of an eye. Huo Yuhao remained immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

Compared to Shrek Academy's Immortal Herb Catalogue and the few mentions of immortal herbs in the original novel, Gu Xuanying's explanation was far more detailed and comprehensive. Huo Yuhao felt that calling her "sister" twice wasn't a bad deal after all.

At this moment, Dugu Bo, his face beaming with joy, walked towards Huo Yuhao. "Young Huo, your Soul Core Technique is truly exquisite. I can't wait to condense it myself."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "In that case, senior, please go and pick up your granddaughter. We'll try to help you make up for the defects in your martial soul first."

"Okay." Dugu Bo nodded and was about to leave.

Huo Yuhao asked, "Senior, do you remember you promised to grant me three conditions? My first condition is that I can take any medicinal herbs here at will. I wonder if Senior agrees?"

Dugu Bo agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao shouldn't need too many medicinal herbs, and the most important thing now was to pick up Yanyan.

After Dugu Bo left, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Sister Xuanying, how should we cure the problem with his martial soul?"

Gu Xuanying said, "It depends on how well you want to cure him. There are the best methods and the methods that can barely cure him. The former requires several very precious herbs, while the latter requires almost no precious herbs."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "Since we're going to treat him, of course we should choose the best. He was the one who came to this herb garden first, and he's just using up some precious herbs. Besides, he's one of us now, so of course we should give our own people the best."

"Okay." Gu Xuanying's tone was filled with joy; she was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's choice.

Her and Gu Qingming's situation is actually somewhat similar to Dugu Bo's. Huo Yuhao was very generous to Dugu Bo, so he will most likely treat them sincerely in the future as well.

She instructed Huo Yuhao, "Go and pick the Snow-White Swan Kiss and the Fragrant Silk, as well as these auxiliary medicinal herbs."

She listed nearly ten kinds of auxiliary materials.

Huo Yuhao took them off one by one.

Wearing gloves, Huo Yuhao carefully held the pure white, flawless, and noble flower, and couldn't help but ask, "The Snow Swan Kiss can amplify the toxicity of poisons ten thousand times. Are you sure you're not harming Dugu Bo by using this herb to make medicine?"

Gu Xuanying said, "This medicinal herb is the most terrifying yet the most precious to poison-attribute soul masters. Any poison-attribute soul master who swallows this immortal herb, as long as he survives, will experience an unprecedented transformation in his martial soul."

Huo Yuhao naturally understood this principle, but who could swallow this medicinal herb and not die? Perhaps only after becoming a god would they have a chance to struggle.

Even Tang Chen avoided this snow-white swan kiss plant like the plague, let alone Dugu Bo, who was covered in deadly poison.

Gu Xuanying continued, "You must remember that all medicinal herbs have two sides; some are poisonous, while others are beneficial. There are no absolutes. Moreover, many herbs have mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint. As long as you understand these two points, you can use all medicinal herbs to make medicine."

Chapter 150: Dugu Yan

150.

Huo Yuhao looked at the pink flower in his hand again and asked, "So this Fragrant Silk Fairy is both complementary and incompatible with the Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss?"

The fragrant and exquisite fairy-grade medicine cannot cure poison, but it can ward off all poisons. The snow-white swan's kiss contains no toxins of its own, but it can amplify the toxicity of all things a thousandfold.

Gu Xuanying shook her head slightly, "Strictly speaking, these two herbs are not mutually reinforcing or mutually restraining; they are both neutral medicinal materials."

"To make them react well and refine a medicine that can truly evolve a poison-attribute martial soul, we still need an important medicinal catalyst."

"What is it?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

“Your blood,” Gu Xuanying replied, “You consumed the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable, so your blood contains their medicinal properties. Each of them alone is highly poisonous, but when combined, they are a divine treasure.”
