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

Chapter 81 Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng

"Alright. My mission is complete, and it's time for me to head back. Also, while you're studying with the Broken Clan, don't you dare try to seduce the clan leader's granddaughter."

When Dugu Bo uttered his last sentence, although it sounded like he was joking, his voice clearly carried a hint of warning.

"Senior, you're overthinking it," Xia Liang said with a smile. "The patriarch of the Broken Clan has neither a daughter nor a granddaughter. Even if I wanted to seduce her, I wouldn't have the chance."

"I'm tired of tea. It's time for me to go. As for that earth dragon golden melon, I'll eat it when I get back. I hope it will, as you said, grant my Azure Phosphorous Serpent King new power."

With that, Dugu Bo stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the teahouse with an air of nonchalance.

In the time it takes to breathe, his figure had already disappeared into the teahouse.

The aura emanating from the Title Douluo sent chills down the spines of all the guests in the teahouse, who stared in terror at Xia Liang's tea table.

Xia Liang placed the money for tea on the table, took a few packets of tea, and then got up to leave.

At noon, twenty kilometers outside of Xingluo City.

After leaving Xingluo City, they arrived at a secluded spot in a small forest. After making sure no one was around, Xia Liang took out the jade box given to him by Dugu Bo from his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.

Upon opening, a refreshing fragrance wafted from the jade box.

Inside the jade box lay a ginseng root, its entire body a translucent, blood-red color. The surface of the ginseng had a distinct raised layer, each protrusion connecting to form a pattern of a five-clawed dragon.

According to the original work, this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is a naturally occurring Grade 8 ginseng. It has undergone ten thousand years of evolution.

In other words, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is already an eighth-grade plant when it first grows, and it only needs ten thousand years of cultivation to evolve into a ninth-grade plant.

This miraculous herb is on par with the king of miraculous herbs, the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Xia Liang felt that the most important medicinal herbs he should take were the Acacia Heartbreak Red, which could bring people back to life and heal flesh and bones, and this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Unfortunately, the harvesting conditions for the Acacia purpurea are too demanding.

However, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng might be very suitable for Dugu Yan. Since this immortal herb is too powerful, if Dugu Yan wants to absorb it safely, she will need to find an auxiliary immortal herb to help her.

After closing the jade box and putting it into the Ruyi Baibao Pouch, Xia Liang took out three thick books from the silver bracelet.

These three books are copies of herbal knowledge obtained through the exchange of a large number of anti-poison pills and the Broken Clan.

It contains detailed information about various herbs, including their classification, identification, efficacy, and illustrations.

Dugu Bo concealed the secret of his own snake venom backlash from Xia Liang.

Xia Liang also concealed something from Dugu Bo: in fact, he didn't need to stay with the Po clan to study. He only needed to memorize these three thick books, which would be equivalent to learning all kinds of herbal knowledge.

Deceiving Dugu Bo was naturally because he wanted to go back alone.

On the way back to Tiandou City, you can pick up the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and the Blue Silver Emperor seedling along the way.

After transferring the copy of the herbal medicine book to the three-colored ring, the task of learning about herbs was successfully completed.

Gastly is connected to its own soul, and during the journey, a large number of Gastly can browse the three herbal books.

Once all the knowledge of herbs is engraved in the soul's memory, it will be possible to acquire various herbal knowledge by searching the soul, thus saving the time of reading and learning on one's own.

three days later.

After leaving Xingluo City, Xia Liang arrived at the Xingdou Great Forest.

What appeared before him was the Soul Beast Forest, which was far larger, more mysterious, and more terrifying than the Sunset Forest.

Judging from the map, the Star Dou Great Forest spans the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Of the total area, two-fifths belong to the Heavenly Dou Empire, while three-fifths are located in the Star Luo Empire.

When he was training with the Speedy Mercenary Group, Xia Liang had entered the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest many times to help his employer find soul beasts. On his way to Star Luo City more than a month ago, he also had to pass through the Star Dou Great Forest.

Therefore, I am quite familiar with the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

After checking his belongings, Xia Liang ran into the entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest.

For more than a month, apart from traveling, I spent the rest of my time cultivating.

Perhaps due to the transformation of his aptitude by the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass, Xia Liang's cultivation speed increased significantly. He felt that he no longer needed to consider any advanced meditation techniques. In just over a month, his soul power broke through again, increasing from level thirty-seven to level thirty-eight.

Of course, this could also be a benefit of absorbing two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow more than a month ago.

Unlike when he first entered Sunset Forest, Xia Liang is now a three-ring Soul Master, possessing the confidence to kill a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast that is above his level.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry too much when traveling through the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest. This is the sense of security that comes with increased strength.

After a day of travel, it was already late at night.

Xia Liang set up the tent and sprinkled insect repellent and some powder that made the soul beasts want to vomit.

After preparing for the night's stay, Xia Liang did not do his usual barbecue. Instead, he took out the food he had prepared in advance from the green compartment of his tricolor ring and sat outside the tent to enjoy his meal.

A Gastly returned carrying a bucket of water.

There were also some Gastlys patrolling the area like wandering ghosts to prevent Soul Beasts from ambushing them.

Three Gastly are washing Xia Liang's clothes.

Most of the Gastly tore the three herbal books into multiple pieces and carefully browsed each page containing the herbal knowledge.

When Xia Liang was eating, he didn't even need to lift a finger. One Gastly used its own claws to hand him a drink, while another Gastly was peeling an apple for him.

It must be said that Gastly, with its pair of claws, is indeed more practical than Gastly.

If any alchemy or pill-making techniques are developed in the future, they can be directly entrusted to Gastly and others to complete the process. They only need to consume the pills and refine them themselves.

"Hehehe."

A Ghost that was patrolling outside suddenly flew back. Judging from its expression, it seemed that there was a Soul Master's trace a kilometer away.

A group of Soul Masters surrounded a female Soul Master with a Cat Soul. After a fierce battle, the female Soul Master with the Cat Soul was in danger.

The timeline was perfectly timed, and Xia Liang had roughly guessed the identities of the group of Soul Masters and the female Soul Master with the Cat Martial Soul.

He placed the food aside and stuck a bone dragon dagger into a clump of grass nearby, so that he could use his spatial attribute to teleport back in time if anything happened.

After consuming the food-type soul skill that shielded him from being detected by his aura and mental power, Xia Liang ordered the remaining Gastly to stay put, while he followed a few Gastly to check the situation a kilometer away.

Stopping three hundred meters away, Xia Liang jumped onto a tree branch and activated his X-ray vision. His gaze pierced through the obstruction of trees and boulders, clearly exposing the group of Soul Masters and the female Soul Master with the Cat Martial Soul to his field of vision.

However, due to the extremely strong perspective, everyone in Xia Liang's field of vision was naked.
