Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Valkyrie

(Thanks to Candlelight123 for the recommendation vote!)

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face flushed red, and his hands trembled with excitement.

His face instantly turned blissful.

As his hand attempted to stroke the leaves of the Acacia crape myrtle, the flower suddenly emitted a strong golden-red light.

Knowing that the fairy herb was rejecting him, Chrysanthemum Douluo actually bowed to the flower to apologize.

His face still held an infatuated expression.

"This is 'Lovesick Heartbreak Red,' a true king of medicinal herbs. Consuming it will have effects akin to seizing the wonders of nature."

"pity……"

Chrysanthemum Douluo revealed the unusual requirements for picking the Acacia Heartbreak Red flower. (Chrysanthemum Douluo probably didn't know that story.)

The people present were quite surprised that this small flower would choose its master.

It was noticed that Lin Huai had specifically shown this immortal herb to Yue Guan.

"Little rascal, do you recognize this magical herb?"

Lin Huai threw it on the ground and shook his hand.

He didn't notice Yue Guan's distressed expression.

"Yes, teacher, I recognize some, and this herb is one of them."

Luckily, Chrysanthemum Douluo knew how to harvest it, otherwise so many magical herbs would have been wasted!

Yue Guan carefully picked up the "Heartbreak Red" acacia blossom.

He bowed and prayed to Qian Daoliu: "Great Offering, I know I cannot obtain the approval of the Heartbroken Red of Longing."

I implore you to allow me to care for it until someone becomes available to pick it.

Qian Daoliu thought about the group of old men in the Offering Hall, and indeed none of them had any unforgettable love stories.

A casual wave.

"Okay, you can keep it for now."

"However, won't some of its essence be lost after you take it away?"

Upon hearing that Qian Daoliu had agreed to his request, Yue Guan hurriedly took out a rather exquisite flowerpot from his storage soul tool.

While scooping some soil into the flowerpot, he answered the questions.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, as long as the mature immortal herbs have not been harvested, or have been harvested and stored using the correct methods."

"The medicinal effects will not wear off, and the current Acacia Heartbreak Red is in a state where it has not been harvested."

I watched as Yueguan replanted the acacia-red flowers, symbolizing longing and heartbreak.

"Alright, we can pick the immortal herbs later. You and Xiao Huai should discuss how to resolve the martial soul defects of Dugu Bo and his granddaughter."

Yue Guan used his soul power to clean the mud off his hands.

He glanced at Dugu Bo.

"A flaw in your martial soul?"

"Old Poisoner, what's wrong with your martial soul?"

Dugu Bo's face was filled with a disdainful expression.

"No way!"

"Even a 7-year-old Soul Master like Young Master Lin could see that."

"You, a titled Douluo who is an expert in herbs, still can't see it?"

Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather, who had never shown such an expression before.

Her intuition told her that these two were definitely not just simple mortal enemies.

"Senior Yue Guan, the Azure Scale Serpent's martial soul toxin has already affected the host."

"Just like Senior Dugu Bo's green hair and eyes, Miss Dugu's are the same."

Lin Huai's voice interrupted their argument at just the right moment.

"I do have ways to help them, but either I can't cure them completely, or I need to completely cleanse the toxins from their bodies."

His gaze swept over Dugu Bo's strangely green hair.

"I don't think the seniors would use these two methods unless absolutely necessary."

Lin Huai held a fragrant and exquisite fairy product in his hand.

He walked to the middle of a group of magical herbs and spread out his hands.

"But as the predecessors who provided us with so many miraculous herbs."

"I think we should look for a better solution, so as not to let him down after he joined our Spirit Hall."

Yue Guan suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled softly, like a woman.

He looked at Dugu Bo with a teasing gaze.

"See, he still joined the Spirit Hall."

"If you had come to us sooner, and then told me about this place."

Yue Guan paused for a moment, then gently stroked a verdant fairy herb.

"You might even catch up with me soon."

A green figure flashed by.

Dugu Bo gripped Yue Guan's arms tightly with both hands and said urgently:

"Your Majesty..."

"Pah, pah."

Noticing Yue Guan's expression stiffen, Dugu Bo quickly changed his tune.

"Yue Guan, are you sure you can handle the poison in me and Yan Yan?"

Yue Guan tried to pull his arm away, but found he couldn't.

"With the help of the miraculous herb, there is no poison that cannot be cured."

"Let me go first, let me see what kind of magical herb I need."

Dugu Bo awkwardly released his grip on his arm.

Yue Guan walked up to Dugu Yan and gave her a kind smile.

"Yanyan, right? Let me feel how the toxins are spreading in your body."

Dugu Yan stretched out her slender, jade-like hand.

Yue Guan gripped his wrist and slowly released his soul power.

In no time, he loosened his fingers.

Walk towards the emerald green lotus-shaped fairy herb from before.

"Fortunately, Yan Yan's poison hasn't fully formed yet, so we can use this 'Azure Scale Nine Nether Lotus'."

"It can not only perfectly resolve the snake venom in her body, but may also promote the evolution of her martial soul."

Yue Guan looked at Qian Daoliu, who was still flipping through the Immortal Herb Catalogue.

Qian Daoliu didn't even raise his head, casually waving his hand.

"No need to gesture to me. This is Elder Dugu's former residence. You can just fix the defects for them."

He then used the jade ruler to cut the root and sent it to Dugu Yan with his soul power.

"First, consume the flower petals, then swallow the single lotus seed in the center."

Dugu Yan took the Azure Scale Nine Nether Lotus as instructed and immediately sat cross-legged to begin refining it.

Seeing that his granddaughter was indeed fine and her breathing was still rising, he realized that she was alright.

Dugu Bo looked at Yue Guan with a relaxed expression and stretched out his somewhat withered hand.

"Thanks, old buddy."

"Once Yan Yan's problem is resolved, just do your best with me. It's okay if I can't cure her; she can still live for another ten years or so."

Yue Guan grasped Dugu Bo's wrist.

"Don't worry, even without the magic herb, I can still cure your Jade Scale Snake venom."

"Huh...?"

"How come you have fewer toxins in your body than I thought?"

Yue Guan stroked his chin and muttered:

"According to what you said, the poison should have already seeped into your bones by now, but you are far from that serious."

"What did you do?"

Feeling a little uneasy under Yue Guan's gaze, Dugu Bo took two steps back and shook his head.

"I didn't do anything, and I didn't take any elixir."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huai's intuition told him that the nascent soul core, the "inner core," cultivated by Dugu Bo had played a role.

This provides a simple way to put forward the theory of the soul core.

Lin Huai's eyes darted around.

"Elder Dugu, could this be due to your cultivation practice?"

"Is there anything different when you cultivate?"

Dugu Bo slapped his forehead.

"Indeed, Young Master Lin is very clever."

He immediately channeled his soul power and spat out a spinning emerald green bead.

Sensing the situation, Qian Daoliu put down his book and looked at the two of them.

"What is this?"

Yue Guan used his soul power to test the bead.

Dugu Bo noticed the confusion on the faces of the others.

His tone was smug and self-satisfied.

"This is the inner core I condensed using most of my soul power!"

"Not only can it store my soul power, but it's also equivalent to a powerful soul skill when used in battle."

Qian Daoliu and Yue Guan stared at the inner core, lost in thought.

Lin Huai then took the opportunity to raise his hand and say what he had prepared.

"Teacher, I've seen something similar in the library."
