Douluo Continent: Ghost Rider, Heavenly Blade Burning Soul!

Chapter 13 The Whereabouts of the Immortal Herb, the Mad Poison That Never Dies

When the Blazing Scorpion King was on the verge of death, Poison Undying stopped his attack.

A single immortal herb is far more useful to the Body Sect than a soul bone that is 100,000 years old.

The Gold-level awakening brings tremendous enhancement to the user's martial soul. Physical attributes are increased by 100%-300% across all aspects.

Even the power of soul skills will be greatly enhanced, and may even mutate.

The Fiery Scorpion King will stay in this place, and there will always be a chance to deal with him again.

However, if the immortal herb is unavailable, it will be difficult to find it again.

Sunset Forest isn't very big; you can spot most things at a glance.

However, if the magical herb is hidden in some secret realm, it is extremely difficult to find it.

The Blazing Scorpion King's confident assertion suggests that he genuinely knows the whereabouts of the immortal herb.

Killing it would be a huge loss for the Body Sect.

Poison Immortal coldly said, "Tell me the whereabouts of the Immortal Herb Secret Realm, and I can spare your life now."

"Release my offspring first, then I'll tell you." Seeing that Poison Immortal was interested in the Immortal Herb Secret Realm, the Blazing Scorpion King began to negotiate terms with Poison Immortal.

"The loser has no right to negotiate. This immortal herb isn't that important to me. Since you insist, then die!"

As the leader of a sect, what kind of grand scene hasn't Du Busi seen?

He was present when they negotiated with Di Tian. What is this mere 100,000-year-old Blazing Scorpion King?

However, this move also piqued Poison Undying's interest in the three-thousand-year-old Blazing Scorpion King.

Soul beasts may have a little bit of kinship, but not much.

Especially for scorpion-type spirit beasts, their reproductive capacity is exceptionally strong, capable of producing dozens or even hundreds of offspring in a single year. There's no need to make such a fuss over a single offspring.

Poison Undying speculated that this thousand-year-old Blazing Scorpion King might have some special bloodline.

The fiery aura of this thousand-year-old Fiery Scorpion Emperor is much stronger than that of a Fiery Scorpion that is tens of thousands of years old, which is quite strange.

Its color was even darker than that of the 100,000-year-old Blazing Scorpion King in front of it.

They all look somewhat different from the same variety.

"Don't kill me, human powerhouse!" The Blazing Scorpion King immediately backed down. Compared to bloodline, his own life was more important.

If there are no offspring, they can reproduce.

But if I die, then I'll have nothing left.

If given a choice, it certainly wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to escape the abyss.

The human world is truly terrifying!

In the past century, it has faced two serious life crises. Unless its strength can be further increased.

"You're smart to know your place!"

After saying that, Poison Immortal flew back to Qin Hao and ordered, "Hao'er, kill this thousand-year-old Blazing Scorpion King."

"Master, you've stopped fighting that Fiery Scorpion King?" Qin Hao was puzzled. Just a moment ago, they were locked in fierce combat, so why did they suddenly stop fighting?

Although there is no suitable person to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, the temptation of a 100,000-year soul bone is not small!

How can you tolerate this?

"That Fiery Scorpion King begged me for mercy, saying it knew the location of the Immortal Herb Secret Realm, so I spared its life."

"The Immortal Herb Secret Realm, Master, you can't go to that secret realm! It's very likely the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is the backyard of an evil god. It is said that this place has always been guarded by someone with at least the strength of a demigod."

Qin Hao felt a chill run down his spine.

It's good that I asked one more question.

Otherwise, we'll be utterly ruined by that Blazing Scorpion King.

"Hao'er, you're overthinking it. Legends are just legends. The Blazing Scorpion King once picked a magical herb from it, so it probably wasn't guarded by anyone."

Poison Undying didn't believe Qin Hao's words. If the Blazing Scorpion King could get the immortal herb, Poison Undying could definitely get it too.

"Master, I'm telling the truth. If you don't have the strength to contend with a god, never touch anything in the herb garden. That god is vengeful and ruthless. If he finds out, he will definitely hold a grudge."

Qin Hao tried his best to persuade him.

Offending Tang San is not a pleasant thing.

Especially before having the strength.

"Hao'er, don't worry, there's definitely no danger on this trip. If I can get that scorpion, why can't I get it since I can't kill it with its poison!"

"Hao'er, let me tell you a secret. This immortal herb is crucial to the awakening of our Body Martial Soul's Golden Form, and its importance to our Body Sect is self-evident. Even if there's danger, I will definitely go!"

He was determined not to be poisoned.

First of all, he didn't believe there were any demigod powerhouses. The strongest people on the entire continent right now were Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui.

Secondly, the allure of the herb is simply too great.

The sect now has two super geniuses.

What he can do for the sect now is to nurture these two geniuses into the strongest on the continent, and then pass on the Body Sect.

And the Immortal Herb is the cornerstone for those who possess the Body Sect Martial Soul to become the strongest on the continent.

"master……"

"No need for further words, my mind is made up. You should absorb this thousand-year-old Blazing Scorpion King as your first soul ring, and I will protect you." Poisonous Immortal interrupted Qin Hao.

"Alright, I'll absorb the spirit ring first, then go with them. I know a lot of secrets from ancient books, which should be helpful."

Qin Hao was helpless as he couldn't persuade Du Bu Si to stay.

However, the path of cultivation is about seizing opportunities; those who are timid and hesitant will find it difficult to achieve great things.

Obtaining the immortal herb will greatly enhance the overall strength of the Body Sect. At that time, even if the entire sect exerts its full strength, it may not be unable to withstand a demigod powerhouse.

The latest novel is first published here!

Now we can only pray that Tang San doesn't have any backup plans inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Du Busi nodded in agreement, confident that with him around, he could still protect Qin Hao.

Then, Qin Hao took out a dagger and swiftly plunged it into the head of the Blazing Scorpion King, causing a purple soul ring to appear on the Blazing Scorpion King's body.

Then he used the Heavenly Origin Technique to absorb it.

For someone absorbing a soul ring for the first time, a thousand-year soul ring is an enormous challenge.

The immense soul power on the soul ring surged into Qin Hao's meridians and muscles like a tidal wave.

Tearing apart, rebuilding!

The immense pain brought Qin Hao to the brink of fainting.

This soul beast is not the Blazing Fire Scorpion King, but the Netherfire Scorpion King with a purer bloodline!

His cultivation level is as high as 1600 years.

While keeping an eye on the Blazing Scorpion King, Du Bu Si also kept an eye on Qin Hao's situation.

The first soul ring in a millennium! This is the first time such a thing has been achieved since the establishment of the Body Sect!

Even though Qin Hao's physical condition had been checked beforehand, there was still some concern about whether he could be poisoned to death.

Nobody knows what will happen.

Although this move is very dangerous, as long as you get through it, you will benefit immensely in the future.

Half an hour later, Qin Hao finally absorbed the soul ring without any major incident.

The millennium-old soul ring brought about tremendous changes to Qin Hao.

He's grown 10cm taller, and his facial features have become more defined. He's lost that youthful air and has become more mature and charming.

In terms of attributes, all aspects of physical fitness have been greatly improved.

The intensity of the flames was also further enhanced.

And he got his wish and obtained a powerful amplification soul skill - Hades Transformation!

Soul power increased to level 12.

"Hao'er, how is it? Did you get any amplified soul skills?"

Poison Undying came over to inquire immediately.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. This soul beast is not the Blazing Fire Scorpion King, but the higher-level Netherfire Scorpion King."

"My disciple's first soul skill also acquired the Netherfire Scorpion King's innate soul skill—Netherworld King Transformation."

"This is an extremely powerful amplification soul skill!"

"Within one hour of use, strength increases by 300%, defense increases by 300%, and fire attribute power is greatly enhanced."

Qin Hao explained the effects of the Underworld Transformation one by one.

"very nice!"

Poison didn't die, and nodded in satisfaction.

This kind of soul skill can be considered a large-scale amplification soul skill. For the first soul skill to have such an effect is truly astonishing.

If combined with the Golden Awakening, the power would be unimaginable.

Amazing herb!

We absolutely must get our hands on the magic herb!

Poison Undying's eyes suddenly turned extremely fanatical.

The earlier parts were indeed a bit illogical, so I changed the setting of the whale glue and related plot points. Let's increase the effect of 10,000-year-old whale glue to 800-year-old. 90,000-year-old would be a bit higher at 1000, plus the original martial soul's 1200, and the Body Refinement Sect's 1600. Too high and it would get criticized. Huo Yuhao, even with Ice Emperor, Tianmeng, and whale glue, only has 2200.
