Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 45 Humanoid Medicine

"Has any research been done on how to detoxify it?"

"A solution has already been developed. Your Majesty, the poison in your granddaughter's body is not serious."

"However, I still need to spend some time collecting some of the medicinal herbs."

"No need, it's too much of a waste of time!" Dugu Bo just wanted to get his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, out of the toxins as soon as possible.

"Come with me!" Dugu Bo prepared to take Yang Wudi to his medicinal garden, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Dugu Bo had previously harvested some of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and he thought he had already collected all the valuable medicinal herbs, which was why he dared to let Yang Wudi go.

Dugu Bo didn't value the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as much as he had imagined. In the past, he used the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to suppress the spread of toxins in his body. Now that he had a solution, his mindset was naturally different.

Moreover, he had already inquired in detail about the reputation of the Broken Clan, and found it to be excellent—loyal but not blindly so.

……

When Dugu Bo brought Yang Wudi to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it was much emptier than before Dugu Bo left.

Even so, Yang Wudi's eyes lit up the moment he saw the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"This is...this is..."

Yang Wudi's voice trembled with excitement as he stared in disbelief at the strange world before him. The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, a naturally formed miracle, was half scorching hot like a volcano, and the other half frigid, seemingly capable of freezing everything in the world. Two completely opposite forces converged here, yet miraculously maintained a delicate balance.

"This is the legendary land of both ice and fire! It's truly a masterpiece of nature, a rare find in the world! It's an ideal environment for plant growth!" Yang Wudi exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with a fervent pursuit of the finest medicinal herbs. As a pharmacist, he knew all too well how many rare herbs such an environment could nurture, each one a potential treasure capable of curing all poisons and enhancing one's power.

"No wonder there is poisonous fog outside and the Azure Scale Seven Absolute Flowers that are almost never seen outside, but there is another world inside, with almost no poisonous fog. It is a place of extreme ice and fire, and the extreme environment is extremely restrained by poison."

Seeing this, Dugu Bo was secretly pleased, but also somewhat surprised by Yang Wudi's reaction. He had thought he valued this medicinal garden to the extreme, but he hadn't expected someone to be even more impressed than him. "That's right, this is my private medicinal garden, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Yang Wudi, with these herbs, is it possible to cure my granddaughter's poison?"

"Ordinary people can't even get into this place. It's probably only Your Majesty who can enter and leave normally. This is an opportunity that Your Majesty is destined to have!"

Yang Wudi began to slowly pace around the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, each step seemingly a way of feeling the rhythm of this world. His gaze swept over the strangely shaped plants, some with leaves as red as flames, some with roots as crystalline as ice, and some with fruits emitting a faint glow, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"The medicinal herbs here, each one containing the purest energy of heaven and earth, are truly extraordinary," Yang Wudi finally spoke, his tone tinged with reverence. "To cure your granddaughter's poison, I need several specific herbs. Judging from the situation, this place should have what I need."

As he spoke, Yang Wudi followed behind Dugu Bo, but his eyes were always on the various herbs on the side, and he couldn't help but mutter the names of those herbs under his breath.

"Blazing Flame Grass, Ice Heart Fruit..." Yang Wudi walked around, introducing the surrounding herbs as if they were his own treasures, his eyes sparkling with the joy of discovering a treasure.

"Snow Silkworm!!!"

"Vermilion Lotus!!"

"The King of Ginseng, a Thousand-Year-Old!"

The deeper one ventures into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the rarer the precious herbs become. Among them is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng King that Yun Yibai did not put away.

It wasn't until they got close to the Ice and Fire Spring that they noticed Yun Yibai sitting beside it.

"Hmm!" Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction as he watched Yun Yibai cultivate diligently.

However, when his gaze fell upon the location of the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, his eyes widened in shock.

"Where's the stuff?!?"

Yang Wudi followed Dugu Bo's gaze and also noticed the remaining roots on both sides of the Ice-Fire Spring. He observed the roots and felt they were somewhat familiar.

Before long, Yang couldn't recognize them anymore. "It's the Fiery Apricot Blossom and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass!! How come there's only the root left?!"

"Clan Chief Yang, Senior Dugu!" Yun Yibai had already woken up from his cultivation when Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi approached.

Dugu Bo: "Kid, where did you hide the thing?"

"Wait!" Yang Wudi quickly came to Yun Yibai's side. He first looked at Yun Yibai, then grabbed his hand and began to take his pulse.

A moment later, Yang Wudi looked at Yun Yibai with a complicated expression, "You ate the Fiery Apricot Blossom and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass?"

"Although the two extreme immortal-grade poisonous herbs, Fiery Apricot and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, are domineering, they can indeed become treasures that can be absorbed by the human body after being neutralized." Having held the Immortal-grade Treasure Record for so many years, Yang Wudi naturally knew that these two immortal-grade poisonous herbs were not without ways to consume them.

Yun Yibai: "I just remembered that sentence from Clan Chief Yang's Immortal Treasure Record: Embrace Yin and Guard Yang. The Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass are not far apart. They are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Separately, they are each highly poisonous, but when combined, they restrain each other."

"You've got some nerve, kid. Using two kinds of immortal poisonous herbs together might have some restraint, but the pain from the extreme heat and cold is real, and the domineering power is something no ordinary person can endure."

"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish, isn't that right, Chief Yang!" Yun Yibai said with a smile.

"That makes sense. You've gained a lot from these two immortal herbs. They grew in a place where ice and fire are both extremely rare. Now that you've consumed them, your body should be immune to most poisons. Perhaps you're even immune to ice and fire now."

"However, your consumption of the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass can be considered an unexpected gain."

"Your Majesty, now I am even more certain about the poison in your body."

"Oh? What does that mean?"

"This kid is practically a human medicine now," Yang Wudi joked, pointing at Yun Yibai.

"He combines the medicinal properties of the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, and also dispels the fire and ice poisons from the two highly poisonous immortal herbs. His blood can be used as medicine to assist Your Majesty's treatment."

Dugu Bo glanced at Yun Yibai in surprise.

In the following time, Yang Wudi began to use the environment and various medicinal herbs in the area to refine the antidote. With the fragrant and exquisite herbs, Yang Wudi was no longer afraid of any poison, so he was able to refine the medicine with great ease.

Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai left. As mentioned before, Dugu Bo's interest in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was only so-so. In addition, Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai had already collected all the good things here, and what was left was basically what they wanted to leave for Yang Wudi to use.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

This was what Yun Yibai told Dugu Bo: "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."

After leaving Yun Yibai on the outskirts of Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo left him there; he had more important things to do.

As Yun Yibai watched Dugu Bo turn back and enter the Sunset Forest, he silently mourned for the soul beasts for three minutes.

……

Yunyi's timing is quite accurate; there are still two months left in the enrollment season for advanced soul master academies across the continent.

"Busy man, you're back?" Dugu Yan heard a noise behind her, turned around and saw Yun Yibai. She smiled.

After Yun Yibai came to Dugu Yan's side, his large hands landed on Dugu Yan's beautiful hair.

"You've gained weight!" Yun Yibai said softly.

"Where have you gained weight?"

"You're so disrespectful! I'm a year older than you!" Dugu Yan raised her fair fist.

"It feels like it's only been ten days, but you've grown quite a bit taller," Dugu Yan said, standing up to compare heights.

"That's quite high! What did you eat?"

Yun Yibai did not give a direct answer to Dugu Yan. "Yanzi, I have to go out for a while. After Senior Dugu finishes your business, we will go to obtain the soul ring together."

"So mysterious."

"Come on, come with me for a walk!"

"It's my honor. I wonder how many people will envy me after this tour, hahaha."

"..."

Yun Yibai left that very night. Before leaving, he personally left three things for Dugu Yan: his blood, the Love-Sickness-Breaking Red, and the Qiluo Tulip.

Here, Yun Yi wasted some time arriving in the Fasno Province in the western part of the Heaven Dou Empire. By the time he arrived in Notting City as a merchant, the sixth-year students of the primary soul master academy there were almost graduating.

Some time later, he, who lived opposite the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, saw a boy and a girl waving goodbye to a middle-aged man.

"The root cause of the cholera epidemic on the continent lies with Yu Yuanzhen's youngest son, Yu Xiaogang!"

I made it to the second round! Let's have a little celebration!
