Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 168 Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique

After returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San arranged six months of training for Huo Wu, Yu Tianheng, and others. This made Huo Wu wonder, "Why does it seem like you, Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling are going to leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a while?"

"We really need to leave for a while," Tang San said honestly. "Dugu Yan's grandfather wants us to do him a small favor, which will take about six months."

"In the next six months, your tasks, besides training your bodies, will be mastering your soul power and participating in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Battle to increase your soul battle experience."

The first two need no further explanation; they are both aimed at enhancing hard power.

The latter is to increase practical experience.

To be honest, Tang San's own combat experience is not very rich, and he also needs to go to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to train. However, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is the most important thing, so the time to go to the Great Soul Arena can only be postponed.

Tang San even felt that he didn't have to go, since once his Martial Soul True Body Armor was unleashed, no one but a Title Douluo could defeat him and would be doomed!

Huo Wu and the others looked at Dugu Yan, who said, "It's true, my grandfather does need Tang San and the others' help."

Only after receiving confirmation from Dugu Yan did the others nod slightly.

The people at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy were all intelligent; they could probably guess that Dugu Bo's situation was likely similar to Dugu Yan's...

···

Upon seeing Tang San arrive with Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, Dugu Bo frowned, thinking Tang San was quite a womanizer, but he didn't say anything. He simply took the three of them and flew towards Sunset Forest.

The titled Douluo moved extremely fast. In less than half a day, Dugu Bo led them to the depths of Sunset Forest, where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was located.

Of course, this is also because Sunset Forest is relatively close to Tiandou City, which was built near Star Dou Great Forest and Sunset Forest.

If it's too far, even a Title Douluo would need ten days to half a month to arrive.

After passing through the poisonous miasma, Tang San saw the peculiar lake, one side of which was red and the other side was blue, surrounded by all kinds of strange herbs growing wildly.

Clearly, Dugu Bo hadn't taken any special care of this natural medicinal garden, since he himself didn't know what kind of herbs they were or what their specific uses were.

"There's a strange energy here that's hard for ordinary people to bear. Are you all alright?" Dugu Bo asked.

"It's okay, I feel more comfortable."

Within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there exists a peculiar magnetic field, or perhaps it is the dissipation of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's energy. Not to mention ordinary people, even Soul Masters would find it difficult to endure staying here for an extended period.

However, for Tang San, the environment here was incredibly beautiful, and even the progress of circulating qi and blood and cultivating the Jade Bone Technique was automatically accelerated.

Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, possessing the essence of 100,000 years of cultivation within her body. She finds the environment here very comfortable, and since she has also cultivated the Jade Bone Technique, she feels that this environment is exceptionally blessed.

Guang Ling's face was a little flushed, but Tang San checked her over and found that she was fine. She was just a little nervous because her Jade Bone Technique cultivation speed had increased. He told her to pay attention to her breathing and stay calm.

"Wow, that's really impressive. You're not affected by the strange energy here at all. Now I'm starting to believe what you meant by a soul core." Seeing that the three of them were in good condition, Dugu Bo laughed and said, "If you can heal me, I might as well give you this place."

"Don't you regret it? The herbs here are priceless. Although I don't recognize them all, just the few I do know can evolve a person's martial soul or enhance their physique, even defying fate." Tang San said quietly. "For example, that plant that looks similar to a tulip has a high probability of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Dugu Bo's breath hitched. He hadn't expected that the natural medicine garden he had discovered would contain such a treasure. But remembering that he had already spoken, he stubbornly said, "Hmph! I'm not familiar with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nor do I want to get involved with those powerful forces. I only became Prince Xuexing's guest minister because he once saved me, as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude."

Seeing that Dugu Bo was being stubborn, Tang San didn't say anything more, but simply asked, "So, after you're healed, you won't kill him to cover it up, will you?"

"I'm not that kind of person." Dugu Bo snorted coldly, feeling that Tang San had insulted his character. Although he was indeed tempted by the idea, he immediately dismissed it.

It's not easy to explain to Yan Yan and the others.

"Do you know what that chrysanthemum is for?" Dugu Bo pointed to a golden chrysanthemum and changed the subject. "This is the martial soul of one of my old rivals."

"This should be the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Its effect is that after consuming it, one can use its medicinal power to cultivate an indestructible body," Tang San said. "However, I don't know the specific method of consumption."

In the original story, there is a specific order to taking these magical herbs.

Unfortunately, Tang San didn't remember everything.

Why is it that the memories he inherited only contained those few cultivation techniques?

However, swallowing these medicinal herbs like a cow chewing on a peony should be possible, at most the medicinal effects will be somewhat lost.

"An indestructible body? That old chrysanthemum's body is indeed tougher than that of an ordinary Title Douluo, and his martial soul is also extremely hard." Dugu Bo said thoughtfully.

Then, Dugu Bo saw Tang San release his martial soul and use the Endless Grassland, causing dense patches of Blue Silver Grass to grow there.

Blue Silver Emperor is the king of plants, not to mention it also carries the aura of the Golden Ancient Tree.

In an instant, all the plants here became friendly towards Tang San.

Although the immortal herbs here have not yet developed intelligence, through contact with the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves, Tang San was able to sense how the energy here circulates within their veins and channels, and how they resonate with the energy field here.

Every immortal herb grows in a place with a specific magnetic field strength. The slight resonance made Tang San realize that compared to directly consuming these immortal herbs, studying their growth, cultivation, and operation methods, and studying the resonance between the life of the immortal herbs and the magnetic field here, was the real benefit!

"What are you doing?" Dugu Bo asked.

"By interacting with the exotic flowers and plants here, I can see that although my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, it has evolved into Blue Silver Emperor, the king of Blue Silver Grass, and also the king of plants." Tang San truthfully told me, "Senior Poison Douluo, you really have a treasure mountain but don't know it. Every plant here has been very rewarding for me, but I need time to organize it."

Dugu Bo, puzzled, simply asked, "So, now you can teach me how to condense a soul core, right?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and saw her nod. He then asked Dugu Bo to come closer and told him about the improved method of soul core condensation, which he had developed by relying on a portion of the soul power circulation path of the Xuan Tian Gong.

"That does make some sense." Dugu Bo also knew the circulation path of soul power within his body, but compared to what Tang San had told him, his own was much simpler.

After learning how to operate the system, Dugu Bo was no longer afraid that Tang San and the others were right next to him. He simply sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

"Can he succeed?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Yes, after all, his spirit poison is a manifestation of spirit power, which can be neutralized by condensing a spirit core." Tang San believed that spirit poison, which is born from spirit and spirit power, must also be a part of spirit power and can be condensed into a spirit core.

Moreover, this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has a unique magnetic field. Dugu Bo has been staying here for many years and must have gotten used to it. He will receive natural assistance from this environment, thereby increasing the success rate of condensing the soul core.

Twenty minutes later, Dugu Bo opened his eyes, his eyes full of joy: "Not bad, this method of condensing the soul core is really amazing. I can now perfectly control my martial soul poison, and my soul power has also increased."

Over the years, he had already managed to condense a poison pill. Now that he had obtained the method of condensing a soul core, he would use that poison pill as a base to supplement it.

Sure enough, the poison from his martial soul condensed within him along with his soul power, not only allowing him to control the poison, but also making the poison pill increasingly crystal clear.

More importantly, he discovered that as the soul core condensed, the recovery speed of soul power also increased, and the quality of soul power also improved.

Our current strength is certainly greater than before.

Although the soul core has not yet been fully condensed, Dugu Bo realized that once it is fully condensed, Tang San's words would be true: he would not encounter any bottlenecks before level 95.

"It seems you believe me, senior. In that case, I can assure you that if you can condense a second soul core in the future, achieving a yin-yang fusion with the first, the bottleneck between level 95 and 99 may no longer exist. You will only need to accumulate soul power to the corresponding standard." Tang San smiled slightly. "May I ask, is this comparable to your treasure land?"

"Good, that's worth it." Dugu Bo was very excited. "How should we condense the second soul core?"

"I'll give you some pointers later." Tang San shook his head, needing to keep a backup plan, since Dugu Bo couldn't be completely trusted. "However, I can give you a heads-up, senior. Your first soul core is based on the poison of your martial soul, so it's best if your second soul core isn't poison."

"The fusion of Yin and Yang... it can't be poison, so it must be medicine? That makes sense." Dugu Bo deduced something, but seeing Tang San's ambiguous smile, he didn't dare to make a conclusion. He could only scold, "Little fox, would I trick you? Fine, anyway, I've gained a great benefit. This place is yours, and so are the rare treasures here."

"Then I thank you for your generosity, senior." Tang San expressed his gratitude and then promised, "I will tell you the method for condensing the second soul core once I have thoroughly studied it."

"So you haven't figured it out yet?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, feeling that he had been tricked by Tang San, but he didn't feel any anger.

"I wouldn't dare deceive you, senior," Tang San said with a smile. "However, I should be able to create it within ten years. Can you wait five years, senior?"

"Of course I can wait. Even if you don't give it to me, I still have to thank you, after all, you helped me get out of my illness." Dugu Bo sighed. "Don't call me senior anymore, just call me Old Poison Master."

"Okay, old poisoner."

"Hey! You really aren't being polite at all... But I like your temper." Dugu Bo laughed, then asked about something else, "Are you really going to stay here for about six months?"

"That's right, there are quite a few good things here that I can study." Tang San looked at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, a smile that was hard for ordinary people to detect on his face. "This will be a great opportunity for me to rival a Title Douluo without using my trump cards."

"You're only a Soul Master? You think you can rival a Title Douluo?" Dugu Bo acknowledged Tang San's excellence, but to think that a Soul Master could rival a Title Douluo was nothing short of a pipe dream.

However, it is indeed quite astonishing that Tang San was able to reach the Soul Master level at the age of twelve.

"Just wait and see, old poison master," Tang San said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Since you're so confident, I'll wait and see how you'll rival a Title Douluo in six months. Then, I can be your opponent." Dugu Bo was also somewhat looking forward to it.

In the time that followed, Dugu Bo condensed his soul core in the house he built next to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Guangling mainly uses this environment to cultivate his soul power and refine his jade bones.

In her spare time, Xiao Wu also studied the medical knowledge that Dugu Bo had collected and stored in the house.

Tang Sanyao?

Besides cultivating and understanding some pharmacology, he relies on the Blue Silver Emperor to engage in unique "communication" with various immortal herbs and rare treasures here. The Blue Silver Emperor draws on the power of the earth, the radiance of the sun and moon, and the energy transmitted by the Golden Ancient Tree as nourishment for the growth of these immortal treasures, constantly improving the cultivation of these rare flowers and herbs.

In addition, the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well allowed the cultivation of various immortal herbs to improve rapidly. In just three months, some of the immortal herbs had already awakened their intelligence.

For example: Fiery Apricot, Eight-cornered Ice Grass, Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, Beautiful Tulip, Narcissus Jade Skin, Eight-petaled Fairy Orchid, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, etc.

These rare treasures grow here year-round and already possess considerable cultivation. Now, nurtured by Tang San and imbued with the aura of the Golden Ancient Tree, their intelligence has naturally awakened.

Once they gained sentience, these exotic flowers and plants could use the much richer natural energy and magnetic field here to condense into corresponding illusory energy forms.

"dad?"

"dad!"

"Daddy~"

These rare treasures, having gained sentience due to the influence of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor, immediately recognized Tang San as their father.

"Ahem! I am not your father, but I have indeed contributed to your ability to develop sentience. You can call me Valley Master, after all, I am now the owner of this valley." Tang San coughed, correcting the immortal herbs whose condensed forms resembled children.

"What an adorable doll." Xiao Wu reached out to touch the energy form condensed from the Qiluo Tulip, but found that her hand passed right through it and she couldn't touch it at all.

"They don't actually take human form; they just use the unique energy field of this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to condense illusory forms with their spiritual power," Tang San explained. "Compared to animal soul beasts, plant soul beasts have a much easier time in this respect."

"There's such a saying?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise, but then nodded and carefully examined each of the immortal herbs.

Guangling also stopped cultivating and began to look at these adorable little babies.

After these celestial treasures condensed their sentience, it became easier for Tang San to communicate with them and to observe the energy flow channels and patterns on their bodies.

After recording everything, Tang San began to correlate it with his own meridians, imitating and depicting the flow of soul power.

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

Tang San's entire body of jade bones has been fully condensed, and he has integrated the energy flow patterns of all the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Immortal Herb, creating the second method of Qi and Blood Cultivation: Divine Treasure.

The five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

The Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth

The Qirong Tongtianju corresponds to the lungs and is associated with the metal element.

Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower corresponds to the heart and is associated with fire.

Earthworm and golden melon correspond to the spleen, which is associated with the element Earth.

The ninth-grade wood dragon ginseng corresponds to the liver and is associated with the element of wood.

The narcissus jade muscle and bone correspond to the kidneys, which are associated with water.

Thus, the five internal organs and the five elements were condensed.

Secondly, there are the six viscera: gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and triple burner.

These six items were also found by Tang San, who found corresponding immortal treasures, recorded their energy flow patterns, modified them, and based on the Xuan Tian Gong, used soul power and blood circulation to form the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The brain, corresponding to the longing gaze, strengthens the brain and eyes through its energy circulation pathways.

After completing the cultivation of Jade Bones and Divine Treasures, the muscles and skin of the whole body also began to transform on their own, becoming as hard as metal and as soft as cotton, combining strength and gentleness.

Therefore, Tang San named himself Golden Muscle.

This complete method of cultivating physical strength and blood was named by Tang San as the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Method.

This method refines a set of jade bones, shapes a body of divine treasures, and forges a golden body.

By utilizing the five internal organs and five energies, one can form the Five Emperors' Canopy, which can block all attacks that use soul power as energy; by circulating the six viscera and six paths, one can form the cycle of reincarnation; by applying fist force, one can obliterate all things.

Of course, these two methods are only used instinctively; the specific ways they operate and are used need to be developed gradually in the future...

And to wield the golden body is to become indestructible.

Especially in terms of mental strength, Tang San has reached the vast level of the Purple Demon Eye, comparable to a Title Douluo.

"My physical body and spirit have both reached the level of a Title Douluo, and my soul power has also reached level 50. Now, when I use the Fusion Ring Technique, even Tang Hao will have to bow down!" Sensing his current state, Tang San's confidence swelled to an unprecedented level, but he quickly suppressed his excitement. Before leaving, he increased the cultivation of the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and, based on their corresponding attributes, taught them a part of the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique - Plant Version that he had summarized.

Plants also possess "vital energy and blood," and can cultivate themselves.

This is naturally to give these little guys some means of self-defense.

Upon learning that Tang San was leaving, the immortal herbs were very reluctant to part with him, especially the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, one ice and one fire, who wanted to leave with Tang San.

"This is your home. The outside world, though wonderful, is too dangerous for you. Let's talk about it after you've grown up for 100,000 years." Tang San rejected their idea of ​​following him, and he knew why they wanted to follow him—when he created the Jade Bone Golden Skin Divine Treasure Technique, he didn't use their energy flow patterns.

The main reason is that each of these two items, taken individually, is highly poisonous. Although they represent ice and fire, their energy patterns are somewhat domineering compared to those of other celestial treasures, and they don't quite match one's own internal organs.

Therefore, the two of them felt that they couldn't help Tang San and were somewhat useless.

"Whether it's dangerous or not, it doesn't really matter. We can offer ourselves as a sacrifice to Dad... oh no, Valley Master," said the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

"That's right, as plant-based martial souls, we have this ability," Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu chimed in. "Although you only need one soul ring, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and I can perform a fusion sacrifice under the unique magnetic field of this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, condensing our cultivation together and injecting our souls into the soul ring. Then we can go outside with you, Valley Master."

"Sacrificing the soul along with the body, I do know that. That's the most domineering way to sacrifice. But can it also be a fusion sacrifice?" Xiao Wu tilted her head, finally understanding the peculiarity of plant soul beasts.

The amplification setting of the Martial Soul True Body Armor doesn't seem too outrageous, does it?

He was able to fight Tang Hao because his soul power was of high quality, he had jade bones, the Blue Silver Emperor had strong recovery ability, and he also borrowed the power of Austin Griffin.

There were prior preparations for the fusion ring...

It can be considered similar to the Super Saiyan transformation in Dragon Ball.
