Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao's lips twitched slightly.

Did he trigger the program code that led Dugu Bo to accept his granddaughter as a son-in-law?

Qi Dao doesn't practice any ruthless sword path, but he's not even the best in the world right now, so how can he easily talk about feelings?

As the saying goes, a beautiful woman of sixteen or seventeen is as soft as butter, and with a sword at her waist, she can slay ordinary men!

The land of gentle pleasures is a hero's grave!

Qi Dao didn't want to succumb to the allure of a beautiful woman's slender waist before even achieving his goal.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Senior, senior sister is certainly wonderful, but I think we should focus all our energy on cultivation right now, which is the prime of our lives."

"Matters of the heart cannot be rushed!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo thought to himself, "Could it be that I misjudged him? This kid doesn't actually have feelings for Yanyan?"

"That shouldn't be happening!!"

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly and thought to himself, "I can't let such an excellent grandson-in-law get away, and Yan Yan is also interested in him."

"It seems we need to get Yan Yan to work harder."

Of course, Dugu Bo did not dwell on this topic for long, and asked, "What other herbs have you taken a fancy to? Point them out so I can see. Some of these herbs are ones that even I don't recognize, and they are extremely poisonous."

Qi Dao raised his hand and pointed to two medicinal herbs.

One of them looked like a huge purple chrysanthemum.

Each petal of this chrysanthemum is fuzzy, making the whole flower appear as one, yet it doesn't emit any fragrance.

What's most special is that its stamens extend more than half a foot above the petals, with a faint golden sheen at the tip, making it stand out from the crowd.

Upon seeing the flower, Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise, "You actually want the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!"

As Dugu Bo's old rival, how could Dugu Bo not know about Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul?

It is this rare and precious Chrysanthemum.

Qi Dao laughed and said, "That's right. I've seen this flower in a book. It's said to be a neutral immortal herb. When eaten, it can circulate qi in the limbs and open the eight meridians, helping soul masters to greatly strengthen their physical bodies. Moreover, the medicinal power will continue to integrate with the body during subsequent cultivation, constantly strengthening the physique."

After listening, Dugu Bo muttered to himself in surprise, "I didn't expect that old ghost's martial spirit from Chrysanthemum Pass to have this effect!"

"What is the other herb you chose?" Dugu Bo asked, pointing to a lush green herb in the herb garden with three snow-white leaves in the center.

Qi Dao explained, "This is the 'Dew of Longing,' which can enhance mental strength."

The original text mentions that most medicinal herbs have powerful and unique medicinal properties.

If multiple herbs with different or even conflicting medicinal properties are taken consecutively, the effects may cancel each other out, resulting in less effective treatment, or in severe cases, it may cause violent drug conflicts, causing damage to the body or even endangering life.

Therefore, in the original story, Tang San dared not take any other immortal herbs that could enhance his soul power after consuming the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

Even if I later took Wangchuanqiushuilu, it was because Wangchuanqiushuilu had a mild effect and did not conflict with Liehuoxingjiaoshu and Bajiaoxuanbingcao.

Of course, the reason Qi Dao still asked Dugu Bo for the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum under these circumstances was not because he was not afraid of death.

Rather, it's because the Qirong Tongtianju itself is a neutral medicinal herb, and the chances of it conflicting with the medicinal properties of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Bajiao Xuanbing are not high. At most, it might mean that its medicinal properties cannot be fully utilized after consumption.

Moreover, Qi Dao did not intend to take the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju immediately.

He hasn't even fully absorbed the medicinal effects of the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass yet. If he forcibly absorbs the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and something goes wrong, it will be too late for him to regret it.

How terrifying are the effects of the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Starred Mystic Ice Herbs?

Let's just say that.

Even with the stimulation of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's poison, which greatly increased his absorption speed of the Blazing Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and with the help of the Yin-Yang Spring, Tang San still only absorbed 30% of the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs.

Even so, Tang San's fourth spirit ring still absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, exceeding the age limit.

This also shows how much the two immortal herbs helped Tang San's physique.

It should be noted that the absorption period for a typical fourth spirit ring is only around four to five thousand years.

In addition, the energy impact from the soul ring during absorption can further stimulate the immortal herb and enhance its medicinal properties.

Qi Dao's idea was simple: first, let the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju absorb the third soul ring.

Once you break through level 39, you will have absorbed more than half of the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs, Fiery Apricot and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Then, take the Miraculous Chrysanthemum and use it to break through the level 40 bottleneck in one fell swoop.

Although the level 40 bottleneck is not as difficult as other major bottlenecks, it is still extremely difficult to break through.

For example, Dai Mubai was stuck at level 39 for more than half a year without any progress until he took the Qirong Tongtianju and broke through.

Take Yu Tianheng, for example. As one of the heirs of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, his talent is definitely not bad, but he is still stuck at level 39 at the age of nearly 20.

To say that his cultivation was slow is an exaggeration, considering the time from when he met the Shrek Seven Devils in Soto City to the finals of the All-Continent Soul Master Competition.

In just one year, he can help you break through from level 39 to level 43 or 44.

The reason is simple: he was stuck at level 39 for too long.

Of course, there might be another reason: he was busy dating Dugu Yan before.

Otherwise, how could one of the heirs of the mighty Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family not break through level 40 by the age of twenty?

If word gets out, it'll be incredibly embarrassing!

So Qi Dao was also afraid; he didn't want to neglect his important business because of dating.

...

Dugu Bo did not hesitate at all in response to Qi Dao's request, saying that he could take the two immortal herbs whenever he wanted.

It can be said that he now completely regards Qi Dao as his prospective grandson-in-law.

Qi Dao, on the other hand, took the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu" (a type of herbal remedy) immediately.

The "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" is a magical herb that increases spiritual power, so Qi Dao doesn't need to worry about any conflict with the medicinal properties of the "Blazing Apricot" and "Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice".

After taking the Longing Dew, Qi Dao's first feeling was that his vision was incredibly clear, and his eyesight was much better than before.

In addition, Qi Dao already possessed a spiritual strength far exceeding that of other Soul Masters of the same level due to his long-term visualization of the Peerless Sword, and now he has also consumed the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water.

His mental strength has also increased significantly.

Moreover, he seemed to have somehow grasped a kind of precognitive ability.

To be precise, it's danger perception.

The cicadas sense the autumn wind before it even blows!

Qi Dao called this special ability "Mind's Eye"!

However, he still needs to develop the limits of this ability in actual combat.

After Qi Dao finished taking the Longing for Autumn Dew, Dugu Bo stepped forward and asked curiously, "Since you know so many herbs, do you know which ones are suitable for me and Yan Yan?"

Qi Dao laughed and said, "I actually know that the two immortal herbs are suitable for Senior and Sister Yan Yan."

Dugu Bo immediately became interested.

"Oh?"

Which two plants?

Qi Dao pointed to two immortal herbs in the medicine garden.

One of them was a golden, gourd-shaped object about the size of two fists.

The other plant has a jade-like, translucent white color, with no obvious texture on its leaves and stems as thin as hair. Its appearance is more than 90% similar to ordinary grass.

This immortal herb was mixed in with a cluster of white flowers. If Qi Daogang hadn't taken the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water, he probably wouldn't have noticed its unusual nature.

"What kind of immortal herbs are these two?" Dugu Bo asked, his face showing both curiosity and a sense of embarrassment.

He boasted that he was the number one expert in poisons, but he couldn't even recognize all the medicinal herbs.

That's so embarrassing.

Qi Dao smiled and uttered two names.

"These two immortal herbs are called Earth Dragon Golden Melon and Primordial Immortal Herb!"
