Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 39 Collecting Immortal Herbs

After emerging from the poisonous mist formed by the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus surrounding the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Lang Lei soon witnessed a magnificent sight.

Everywhere you look, there are exotic flowers and rare plants, yet you find nothing ordinary or mundane as you walk around.

"So beautiful..."

Although she had already seen it through the World of Creation, seeing it up close still gave little Gretsch a great visual shock.

"Yes, this is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire..." Lang Lei smiled. "Come on, let me take you down!"

At this moment, Lang Lei and Little Gresh were standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. To get closer, they would have to jump off the cliff.

"Yo-ho!"

"ah!"

After two shouts of different loudness rang out, Lang Lei, holding little Gretchen, jumped off the cliff.

The whistling wind whistled past her ears, and little Greta's long blue hair was blown about by the raging wind, some of it hitting Lang Lei's face directly.

"Hey! Little Grey, fix your hair!"

Distracted, Lang Lei lost his balance and fell off the cliff at an extremely dangerous angle.

"Bang!"

A cloud of dust rose up—

Greta lay on Lang Lei's body, slowly got up, and shook her little head.

"Little Gretchen..." Lang Lei's voice came from under little Gretchen, "She's got a belly from sitting on it..."

"Oh!" Little Gretchen hurriedly got up and helped Lang Lei up from the ground.

Lang Lei brushed the dust off his clothes and gestured to Gretchen that he was alright.

Even if you're on a brick floor, a Title Douluo's physique is so good that you won't get hurt if you accidentally fall off a cliff.

Neither he nor little Greta realized it yet, but they both actually have the ability to fly...

He flies on dust, and Gretchen summons the creations of the world.

Because they still needed to collect the immortal herbs, Lang Lei didn't pick up little Gretsch directly this time, but simply held her soft little hand.

"Let's go see what good things this treasure trove has." Lang Lei smiled at Little Gretchen and pulled her along towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye not far away.

Here, Lang Lei saw some familiar medicinal herbs, such as Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, Di Long Jin Gua, and Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu.

I also saw some of the immortal herbs mentioned in the original work, which had relatively obvious characteristics.

For example, there is the Eight-Starred Ice Grass, the Fiery Apricot, the Beautiful Tulip, the Fragrant Beautiful Fairy, the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, and the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss.

And the king of immortal herbs—the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Of course, there are also some that are a bit more ordinary.

In short, since Dugu Bo said he could take whatever he wanted, he wouldn't hold back...

Soon, Lang Lei accepted the vast majority of the immortal herbs, as well as some useful natural treasures, leaving only a few that were more troublesome or special.

They are: Eight-cornered Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot Blossom, Snow-white Swan Kiss, Burial Dragon's Lament in Autumn, and Nine-Step Drunkenness.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass grows on one side of the Cold Yin Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. It is octagonal in shape, with a stamen in the center that sparkles like an ice crystal.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass truly lived up to its name as a rare and celestial elixir of cold poison. When Lang Lei approached, he instantly felt a chill in his heart and his central nervous system went numb.

His physique is already at the level of a Title Douluo! This chilling aura doesn't seem to be targeting his body, but rather it seems to be directly aimed at his soul.

As for the Fiery Apricot, it grows on one side of the scorching Yangquan (a type of spring) in the Yin-Yang duality of ice and fire, and its entire body is fiery red.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier fire poison, on par with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Lang Lei only touched it once and immediately felt an intense stinging sensation, accompanied by some fire poison.

Lang Lei does have a way to force it, but to be on the safe side, he chose to finish harvesting the others first.

Here comes an even better solution!

Lang Lei took out a large flower from the system space. Its flowers were extremely large, and the stamens were glowing with a pale purple halo, like purple diamonds inlaid there. The whole plant had no branches or leaves, the stem was three feet long and a full foot in diameter, and each petal looked as clear as crystal and emitted a faint fragrance.

She looks just like a noble lady among flowers.

That's right, it's the Fragrant and Exquisite Fairy Product!

Upon obtaining the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item, the system displayed its function, making Lang Lei's subsequent harvesting work much smoother.

Item: Fragrant Silk Fairy Tale

Introduction: A nemesis of all poisons, it neutralizes all toxins. Note that the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb itself does not detoxify, but it can counteract poisons. Its main function lies in its fragrance. Within the range of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb's fragrance, no poison has any effect; its fragrance neutralizes all poisons, making it the best defense! Note that it's defense! A poison-defense herb! Not an antidote!

Holding the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, Lang Lei quickly acquired the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

Similarly, Lang Lei easily subdued the Snow Swan Kiss, which amplifies the effects of toxins.

Next up were two medicinal herbs that Lang Lei particularly valued.

One was for his own use, and the other was intended for Dugu Yan.

As for little Gretchen...

Whether this thing will work on her is another matter.

However, Langley still prepared one for little Gretsch, so that she could try it.

Nine-Step Intoxication is also a divine product. It is non-toxic and has a very ordinary appearance, just a bunch of small purple flowers.

If Lang Lei hadn't accidentally bumped into it while picking the immortal herb and then received a notification from the system, he wouldn't have realized what was happening.

This herb should be useful to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, after all, it is a herb that the system calls a boon to those who possess poison-type martial souls.

As for how the two people will divide it?

Good heavens, this thing is a genuine poisonous plant! Dugu Bo might be able to withstand it, but he'd be crippled. If it were Dugu Yan, she'd probably be sent straight to the grave...

It's called "Nine Steps to Intoxication," but do you really believe it's just as simple as getting drunk? It's called "Nine Steps to Intoxication" because just one whiff of it will cause you to lose consciousness in a very short time.

However, the flowers themselves are fine; their fragrance isn't as lethal. The method of consumption is to stuff the nostrils with the petals and eat them.

Moreover, in order to make up for the effects of the Nine-Step Intoxication that he couldn't finish consuming and to neutralize the toxins in the other party, Lang Lei also left the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, which have the effect of strengthening the body's foundation, for Dugu Bo and his grandson. This should be enough for the two of them to complete their martial soul evolution.

As for the lament of burying the dragon in autumn...

This is the one Lang Lei found for himself.

Item: Burial Dragon's Lament in Autumn

Description: Resembling a dragon composed of withered leaves, it possesses the ability to neutralize energy and harmonize meridians.

Effect: Consuming it has a chance to purify the dragon bloodline in the host's first martial soul and cause it to evolve.

It is recommended to eat it with earthworm pumpkin and tulip.

As for the herb *Mesona chinensis*, it cannot be eaten together with...

Do you believe me or Tang San?

How to use it? Eat it directly!

The system is becoming more and more open...

However, compared to Tang San, Lang Lei naturally trusted the system and El Aita more, but now was not the time to use them.

The sky was getting dark, and judging by the time, Dugu Bo should be returning with Dugu Yan soon.
