Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

“Your Excellency Poison Douluo, I can relieve your family of the backlash from the poison, and even help you completely control the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom, but I have two conditions.”

Before Dugu Bo could respond, Yan continued, "My first condition is that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will be taken by my Spirit Hall. Once your family is healed, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will no longer be as essential to you. Of course, if you wish to continue recuperating in this herb garden, that is also possible."

The second condition is that I know you became their retainer because the Heavenly Dou royal family did you a favor back then. But after so many years of helping them, haven't you already repaid their debt of gratitude?

I don't need you to turn your attention to the Heaven Dou royal family, as long as you don't get involved in the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire in the future.

As a titled Douluo, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do. Avoiding power struggles, you could bring your family to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to live a secluded life and enjoy a comfortable existence.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family only offered assistance during your crisis, while I can save you and your entire family's lives. I think you've considered which is more important.

"you……"

After hearing Yan's words, Dugu Bo's eyes flickered, his face turning green and white in turns. After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded reluctantly and said, "Fine, I agree to these two conditions. But you must also promise me that you will not exterminate the Tiandou royal family in the future."

"After all, I have received great kindness from them and much help over the years. It's fine if they don't want to help me anymore, but I hope that in the future I can protect their descendants and ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline."

“Yes, the Spirit Hall has never intended to exterminate us. As long as the Heaven Dou royal family doesn’t provoke us, we don’t need to push things to the extreme.”

Yan readily agreed to the condition. After the two sides reached a consensus, he looked at the excited Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and asked, "Teacher Yue Guan, which one is the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Plant?"

Yue Guan, who was observing a celestial herb, looked up after hearing his words and pointed in a direction. Yan stepped forward and smelled a refreshing floral fragrance. A pink halo appeared in his sight.

This is a large, pale pink flower with no leaves. Its stem is three feet long, and the flower is extremely large, with a diameter of about one foot. Each petal looks as clear and translucent as crystal. The pale pink flower sways gently with the water mist and grows on the bank where the red and white spring waters meet.

Even though Yan was still more than ten meters away from the flower, he could still smell its faint fragrance.

Its stamens are pale purple, like purple diamonds set there. The fragrance travels far, but it is not strong. It is a light and delicate fragrance, as captivating as the scent of a virgin.

Chapter 143 Overcoming and Detoxifying

"This is the Fragrant Silk Fairy Product. It is so magical that it is truly a rare and precious fairy product."

Yan arrived in front of this strange flower. It was dark all around, but the fairy herb was surrounded by a pink light barrier.

The pale pink light shield, centered on this large flower, is about ten meters in diameter. Although the color is very light, it has a magical effect: no toxins can take effect here.

The 'Fragrant Fairy Tale' is also known as the nemesis of all poisons. It cannot cure poison itself, but it can counteract it. This pale pink light shield is precisely the area within which it can counteract poison. Furthermore, this pink layer is invisible from outside the shield unless one gets very close.

The 'Fragrance of the Immortal' is delicate and elegant in its aroma. Within its range, no poison has any effect; its fragrance neutralizes all poisons. This protective barrier is no ordinary thing; it is a power coveted by countless Soul Masters—a domain.

A plant without any intelligence possesses its own unique domain; this is what makes a celestial herb so precious and powerful.

Of course, while the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb is powerful, it cannot be used directly to cure the Dugu family. Although it can counteract all poisons, it must act as a preventative measure before poisoning occurs.

If one is already poisoned before entering its fragrance range, then the 'Fragrant Fairy Herb' will be ineffective. It is the best antidote herb, but unfortunately, it cannot cure poison.

"Kid, you're not lying to me, are you? I don't recognize this plant, but it can't cure poison; it can only prevent it."

Dugu Bo became suspicious as he watched Yan's actions. He remembered all the plants within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well clearly. Although he didn't recognize the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, he had tried its effects. This immortal herb could not detoxify; it could only prevent the toxin from becoming ineffective.

"Of course I know, but it's the key to saving your son."

Yan replied to Dugu Bo, and then asked Yue Guan, "Teacher Yue Guan, which one is that Qiluo tulip?"

"The 'Queen of Herbs,' the 'Queen of Herbs,' is there."

Yue Guan pointed in another direction, which was directly opposite the Fragrant and Elegant Immortal Item. Yan looked in that direction and saw a glittering golden color come into view.

Yan slowly walked to the side of the Qiluo tulip, and a rich floral fragrance wafted into his nostrils. The scent was strong but not cloying, and the aroma was very pleasant.

This is a very strange herb. Its roots and leaves are covered with vines, densely combed, but at the top is a golden tulip.

This tulip is breathtakingly beautiful, a perfect blend of purity and untamed spirit. Its golden light flashes, seemingly commanding the very essence of heaven and earth; all the flowers sway gently, the grasses stand tall and proud, swaying here as if in submission, or perhaps in worship.

The Qiluo Tulip is known as the King of Immortal Herbs, capable of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and refining the radiance of the sun and moon, and can cure all poisons in the world.

It can also distinguish the characteristics of all spiritual beings in the world, command them, and possess all abilities related to taste. Its fragrance can even change a person's aura, making it incredibly versatile.

"The twin poles of Qiluo, the twin gods among flowers, the two opposites of Yin and Yang, are not mutually exclusive or mutually reinforcing, yet they are connected in some unusual way."

Yan gazed at the Qiluo Tulip and the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, his mind drifting back to the ancient texts of the Spirit Hall and the knowledge about immortal herbs taught by Yang Wudi and Yue Guan.

The two celestial herbs he is currently searching for are respectively known as the king of celestial herbs and the queen of all flowers, and both contain the characters "Qiluo" (绮罗), so it is unclear what their specific relationship is.

The Tulip of Elegance is the king of immortal herbs, the most exquisite of flowers. Elegant and noble, its lofty status unfathomable, it is refined from the essence of the sun and moon, gathering the radiance of heaven and earth, and can cure all poisons in the world.

The Qiluo Youhun is the queen of all flowers, the most revered among them. It is impervious to all things and uncontrollable by all spirits. It can counteract all poisons in the world and has the ultimate neutralizing effect.

The names of these two immortal herbs, "Qiluo Tulip" and "Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb," ​​sound like a couple, but Yan has no idea what their relationship is.

Looking across the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, these two immortal herbs seem to be the sun and moon together, surrounded by countless stars, making many rare and precious flowers and plants pale in comparison. Only a few other immortal plants can rival these two in beauty.

"This herb can detoxify? I've tested its flowers, leaves, and petals, and I haven't found any special effects. It's just that the energy it contains is rarer than that of ordinary herbs."

Dugu Bo had obviously harmed many immortal herbs, but he knew to leave the roots intact. So he only tested the effects of some of the flowers and leaves of these rare herbs without damaging the crucial roots and stems. However, it was precisely because of the peculiar use of this immortal herb that Dugu Bo was unable to test its true effects.

"You old poisoner, you don't know this, do you? The Qiluo Tulip can indeed cure all poisons, but it is not eaten. Instead, one should extract the essence from its flowers to consume."

At this moment, Yue Guan mocked Dugu Bo for his lack of knowledge. Upon hearing this, the latter almost fainted. He didn't realize that the treasure that could cure all poisons was right in front of him. This Poison Douluo was truly blind.

"Don't speak yet."

Yan suddenly raised his hand to stop Yue Guan and Dugu Bo, who were about to argue. Then he slowly stretched out his palm and placed it on the flower of the Qiluo Tulip. With his palm facing the center of the petals, his attribute-less soul power spread out and slowly drew it in.

"Strange, these immortal herbs have a kind of 'spirit' in their faint resistance? But why didn't they turn into plant-type soul beasts like in later generations? Could it be that the changes in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well later were related to the methods Tang San arranged before his ascension?"

Yan could sense the faint resistance of this king of immortal herbs. Although the instinctive consciousness was very weak, it was indeed there. Logically speaking, these immortal herbs had grown here for countless millennia and should have long since developed consciousness and become the king of plant-type soul beasts. But for some reason, they had not developed any spiritual consciousness.

However, this situation is somewhat strange. In the original work, ten thousand years later, there are several plant-type 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The immortal products that have grown at that time are definitely not as good as the first batch in terms of time and efficacy.

Comparing these situations, it can only be said that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes have changed before and after. It must be that Tang San left behind some means before he left, allowing these immortal herbs and plants to develop spiritual consciousness and cultivate here.

"I will only take one drop to save a life, please do not be offended."

As Yan spoke softly, he activated the spiritual secret technique he had deduced after integrating cultivation methods from several worlds, conveying his meaning to the immortal herb in front of him. The petals of the Qiluo Tulip trembled slightly, and a drop of golden liquid was drawn out by him.

Yan carefully placed the drop of liquid into the jade bottle, and then went to the Fragrant Silk Fairy Items side, using a similar method to collect some pollen and place it into two sachets.

"Let's go back and rescue the people first. Teacher Yueguan, please stay here and take care of these flowers and plants. Teacher Guimei, please take me with you."

Yan walked to Dugu Bo and the other two with two items and spoke. Gui Mei nodded, came to his side, carried him on his back, and headed out of the herb garden. Dugu Bo took a deep look at Yue Guan, who was still intoxicated by the fragrance of a hundred flowers, and then followed Gui Mei away from the place.

The thought of his medicinal garden, which he had cultivated for many years, changing hands made him feel uneasy, but for the sake of his family, especially his poor granddaughter Dugu Yan, he could only suppress his displeasure and give the medicinal garden away.

……

The Martial Soul Temple in Heaven Dou City has been under the watchful eyes of countless important figures due to the recent disturbance caused by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. The royal family and many noble families had already received news of Yan's two entries and exits from Heaven Dou City, but none of them had taken any action.

This matter involves Dugu Bo, a top-tier expert. Everyone knows he's desperate and only thinking about saving people. To act recklessly at this time, do you think you're living too well? He wouldn't even dare to kill royalty, okay?

When Yan rushed back to the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall's support-type healing spirit masters were still using their spirit skills to keep the two alive. Because Yan had extracted most of the poison from their bodies, their condition was slightly better than before.

"Did any of them wake up?"

Yan inquired with the powerful figures from the Spirit Hall present, only to be met with a shake of the head. The two had been unconscious for several days due to the deadly poison. Even though Yan had refined most of the poison, the previous poisoning wounds still left them in a coma.

"Old Poison Master, let me make this clear first: I can only guarantee that I will try my best to save them. I can't guarantee whether there will be any aftereffects. After all, they have been unconscious for too many days, and I can't be sure what the final outcome will be."

Yan first spoke to Dugu Bo, then pointed to the lonely Dugu Yan beside him, "However, I can guarantee that I can cure your granddaughter."

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Go ahead and do it. I know you can't force these things. As long as the person can be saved, that's good enough."

After receiving the reply, Yan began to work, circulating his flames to dissolve the golden liquid of the Qiluo Tulip. Two streams of pale golden mist entered the bodies of the two unconscious individuals through their nostrils, while Yan's flames spread throughout their bodies, distributing the medicinal effects of the Qiluo Tulip.

Wisps of emerald green poisonous mist billowed from the two men's bodies, and their complexions began to return to normal, their breathing becoming calmer.

Yan carefully circulated his soul power to force out the last trace of poison from his body. It was thanks to his exquisite control over flames that he was able to refine people with fire without harming them.

After all the toxins were removed, Yan placed the two sachets she had just made on their bodies, and then moved them away. Two faint pink halos appeared around the two of them; their bodies were finally free of toxins.

"Your daughter-in-law is completely fine now. She didn't have the source of the poison herself, but she was exposed to the poison because of too much contact with you or your son and couldn't get an antidote, so it was ultimately incurable."

Yan explained the situation to Dugu Bo. Although both of them were critically ill due to the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Snake, their situations were somewhat different.

Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom was too domineering; even he himself couldn't cure it. He could only suppress it with his powerful strength and martial soul resistance, barely surviving. However, his son and daughter-in-law didn't have that ability.

His daughter-in-law just needs to be detoxified. With the fragrant pollen of the Fairy Flower Protector from external evils invading her body again, she can recover as long as she takes good care of herself.

However, his son, or rather, the three generations of his family connected by blood, all possessed the source of the poison. To solve the problem at its source, other methods would be needed.

"Try to get three soul bones first; they don't need to be very old. Your Azure Phosphorous Serpent Venom should be suppressed by your Martial Soul, but since your Martial Soul can't suppress it now, you'll have to find another vessel..."

Yan then explained to Dugu Bo the method to completely resolve the backlash from the poison in his lineage, which was the method Tang San used to help him in the original story: refining a soul bone as a carrier to force all the poison in his body into the soul bone, thereby enhancing the power of the soul bone and increasing his strength, while also resolving his own hidden dangers.

Thank you.

Dugu Bo was also a remarkable person. He had just not thought of this method before. After receiving the tip, he solemnly thanked Yan and then hurriedly left the Martial Soul Temple for the Grand Auction House. He wanted to find the Soul Bone as soon as possible to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in his lineage.

Chapter 144 Summoning Spirits with Telekinesis

"Holy Son".

When Yan arrived at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire again, Yue Guan, who was obsessed with a strange flower, turned around after hearing the noise. When he saw that it was him and Gui Mei, he came over and greeted them.

"Is this the Love-Sick-Heart-Breaking Red?"

Yan looked in the direction Yue Guan had been looking and saw a white flower that looked quite ordinary.

This white flower is only the size of a palm, shaped like a peony, without any grass or leaves. Its rootstock is connected to a large stone, which is completely black and incredibly heavy.

Above the white flowers, there are a few striking red patches, as red as blood, which look somewhat breathtaking.

Although Yan was not as knowledgeable about herbs as Yue Guan and Yang Wudi, he had read quite a few books and could easily recognize some distinctive medicinal herbs by referring to the records.

The Acacia Heartbreak Red is hailed as the finest of all, possessing the power to bring the dead back to life, heal the wounded, and rival the wonders of nature.

The unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well allows celestial herbs to grow in abundance, but for some unknown reason, none of the celestial herbs of this era can cultivate into plant-type soul beast kings.

Even so, Yan could still sense that some of the immortal herbs contained 'spirit', indicating that they possessed a certain instinctive consciousness and had the potential to undergo 'spirit' transformation into 'soul'. Therefore, he did not intend to simply and crudely collect and consume the herbs, but instead planned to try to cultivate their intelligence.

However, among all these immortal herbs, the Acacia Heartbreak Red is the most special, because Yan did not sense its 'spirit'. In the original works about Douluo Continent, there is no record of the Acacia Heartbreak Red transforming into a soul beast.

It is said that the instinctive consciousness of this immortal herb will always be immersed in its own imaginary spiritual world, so it cannot develop intelligence, let alone evolve into a soul beast. Since it cannot evolve into a soul beast, Yan naturally wanted to make the most of it.

This Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red has amazing effects, including concealing one's aura, bringing the dead back to life, and greatly enhancing soul power. If one can consume it, it can directly increase one's soul power by ten levels and also have a comprehensive transformation of the body, so it can be said to have many benefits.

However, the process of harvesting the Acacia Heartbreak Red is extremely difficult. To harvest the Acacia Heartbreak Red, one must think of one's beloved while picking it, with utmost sincerity, and sprinkle a drop of blood on the petals in order to gain the Acacia Heartbreak Red's approval.

"At least give me some face and move the stone a little bit."

Yan approached the Acacia Heartbreak Red, channeling his soul power and circulating his blood and qi. He spat out a mouthful of blood onto the petals. As his blood dripped onto the flower, several figures flashed through his mind, before finally leaving it blank. Then, the stone named Black Absolute didn't budge an inch, truly ungrateful.

What's wrong with him? He just likes a lot of things, is a little too loving, and wants to give all the girls in the world a home. Is he wrong?
