The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 75 Antidote Pills and Herbal Knowledge

"Senior, please take this earthworm melon for now. I will try to learn about various herbs and strive to find herbs here as soon as possible to help Yanyan overcome the backlash from the snake venom."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's gaze towards Xia Liang changed somewhat.

Soul Masters have precious time. Instead of wasting time trying to learn about herbs, they should focus on cultivating.

Moreover, is it worth wasting cultivation time on an outsider?

If it's worthwhile, then this outsider must be very important.

"Kid, it seems your concern for my granddaughter goes beyond just that of a friend."

Dugu Bo stared at Xia Liang with a serious expression. "I've heard the gossip in the academy. Since none of you are coming forward to clarify, does that mean you're admitting it? Just say it. What exactly do you think of my granddaughter?"

"I don't know," Xia Liang said vaguely. "In short, since I've given so much to Yanyan, I won't just give her away. Besides, senior, you shouldn't ask me this question; you should ask your granddaughter what she thinks of me. My answer is useless."

"That's true, let's leave this topic at that."

Dugu Bo put the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd into his Qingnang Soul Tool and returned to the main topic, saying, "You said you would try to learn about various herbs. I do know that Chrysanthemum Douluo. How about we get a few herbs from here and exchange them with him for herbal knowledge?"

"No. That's too dangerous. Senior, you don't come here without a reason. You and Chrysanthemum Douluo don't usually interact. Suddenly sending gifts and asking for knowledge about herbs will definitely make Chrysanthemum Douluo think there's something wrong with your behavior. If he associates it with you having a large number of rare and powerful herbs whose uses you don't know, it will definitely bring disaster upon you. If the Spirit Hall attacks you for these high-level herbs, even if you can escape, what about Yan Yan?"

After listening to Xia Liang's story, Dugu Bo nodded in deep agreement.

The two stood there, pondering the same question, having already forgotten the hostile relationship they had been in not long ago, filled with mutual suspicion and distrust.

"Then what's your solution?" Dugu Bo asked Xia Liang.

Xia Liang smiled mysteriously and did not reply.

"Kid, stop keeping me in suspense. If you have a solution, just tell me."

Knowing that he wasn't the one who stole the herbs, and that he had done so much for his granddaughter, Dugu Bo no longer kept a stern face towards Xia Liang, and his words and actions became noticeably more acceptable.

Xia Liang stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "How about this, senior? Do me a favor in a few days. After you do, I'll find a way to learn about herbs myself."

"What do you want me to help you with?" Dugu Bo asked.

"I come from a mercenary group. I heard from an employer that the patriarch of the Min clan obtained a celestial herb called Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. I wanted to spend a lot of money to buy this herb from the patriarch, but I'm just a nobody, and he's probably unwilling to sell it. So, I'm thinking of asking you to buy it in the name of Poison Douluo."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo smiled knowingly. "So you want me to force you to buy something?"

Xia Liang nodded. "Yes."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment before agreeing, "Alright. Then come find me in a few days."

"Thank you, Senior. I have another request." Xia Liang glanced at the surrounding plants and said, "Including the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum from earlier, there are a few other herbs of relatively lower grade that I recognize. May I take them with me? My appearance and body have just returned to normal, and I still need some high-grade herbs to strengthen my constitution and nourish my body."

"Hmm." Dugu Bo reminded him, "Kid, I advise you not to eat too many of these herbs, otherwise it will only backfire."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Xia Liang responded and took out his Ruyi Treasure Pouch from his clothes. He first picked and put away the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and then searched for other immortal herbs mentioned in the original work.

I had previously tried using the realm of the dead and my spiritual power to search my own soul in order to regain memories of reading the original novel when I was a child.

Unfortunately, due to insufficient mental strength, it was impossible to search for the memories contained within the soul.

The brain can now create its own mental world, and that's something we can do.

Yesterday, Xia Liang finished reading all the memories carried by his soul in his spiritual world, and specifically conducted an in-depth search of his memories of reading the original novel.

Finally, he learned the detailed descriptions of the three immortal herbs in the original work: the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, the Qiluo Tulip, and the Narcissus Jade Bone.

The Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid is an orchid, a neutral herb, with only eight petals. It is pure white and translucent, and must be harvested with metal and placed in a jade box to preserve its efficacy.

The roots and leaves of the tulip are covered with a dense, finely combed vine canopy, but at the top is a golden flower, giving it a magnificent and luxurious feel.

Narcissus Jade Bone is a white, exquisite flower, which looks as pure as a blue lotus and white lotus root. It grows alongside the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and the two seem to coexist in the same area.

Using his soul's memories, Xia Liang found the three immortal herbs. In addition, he finally found the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King and the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma mentioned in the original work and put them into his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

Including the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, along with the previously obtained Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Youxiang Qiluo Fairy Product, and Xiangsi Duanchang Red, as well as the Ice and Fire Fairy Grass and Wangchuan Qiushui Dew that have already been consumed, there are a total of twelve kinds of fairy herbs and rare treasures that have been obtained so far.

If Dugu Bo can successfully acquire the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng of the Min Clan, then he will have thirteen kinds of immortal herbs.

As for the remaining immortal herbs and rare treasures near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, we can take them all back after we've learned about various herbs.

Xia Liang came up with a way to learn about herbal medicine.

That is to seek a large number of anti-poison pills from Dugu Bo, and then use the anti-poison pills in Dugu Bo's name to exchange herbal knowledge with the Po clan.

With the antidote pill, the Po clan no longer needed to fear being poisoned by the medicine when refining most of the medicines.

With the antidote pill, many medicines that the Broken Clan previously dared not attempt to refine can now be produced.

To obtain the antidote pill, all that is needed is knowledge of herbal medicine.

Herbal knowledge is not exclusive to the Broken Clan. When the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, the Broken Clan can disclose it to the outside world. However, the techniques for refining medicine and making poisons are the secrets that their clan keeps to themselves.

The question we should be considering now is: where is the Broken Clan hiding?

Xia Liang remembered that the Po clan had gone into seclusion in the Star Luo Empire.

Since they frequently trade with the two great empires, the specific place where the Po clan lives in seclusion is likely near the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire, because there are many nobles in the imperial city, making it easier to earn money to support the clan's livelihood and development.

Xia Liang felt that his next task was to go to the capital of the Star Luo Empire, learn about herbal medicine, and then inquire about Tang San and Xiao Wu on his way back to the Heaven Dou Empire.

If they have already graduated from Notting Academy and are heading to Shrek Academy to enroll, then Tang Hao's whereabouts will be clear.
