"Although I can't refine immortal herbs into medicine, I can still make something similar," Li Xun said weakly.
He couldn't exactly say that he had crushed the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma, mixed it with starch, kneaded it into a ball, and then dehydrated it. The process of making medicine here was quite troublesome, and this was just something he had haphazardly researched based on modern medical knowledge. The effects were the same, and it saved a lot of effort.
Of course, for the medicine he gave to Dugu Yan, Li Xun used less starch.
"So, how should these two immortal herbs be consumed?" Dugu Bo placed the two herbs on the table.
Dugu Yan, holding a teapot, poured tea for both of them and looked curiously at the herbs on the table. "Did you go out just for these?"
"Haha, this was just a fortunate find," Dugu Bo stroked his beard.
"Yan Yan, the biggest gain from this trip with this kid is that we found a way to cure the Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom in our bodies."
"What!"
Dugu Yan's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
Her parents had died because of the serpent's venom, and even her grandfather, a Title Douluo, had been powerless against it.
Dugu Yan had long since come to terms with the poison in her body. Now, hearing Dugu Bo suddenly say that they had found a cure, she felt as if she was hallucinating.
"These two immortal herbs are one of the methods to cure the poison..."
Dugu Bo took out two Soul Bones from his Soul Guiding Device and placed them on the table, then explained the whole story.
"Soul Bones, the Yin Yang Well, immortal herbs..."
Dugu Yan looked at Li Xun with a hint of sadness. "Brother Li Xun, if only you had appeared earlier."
Perhaps then her parents wouldn't have died.
"Heh, it's all about fate," Li Xun scratched his head, unsure of how to comfort her.
"Ahem, Yan Yan, let's take a look at these two immortal herbs first."
Seeing his granddaughter's low spirits, Dugu Bo quickly pushed the two herbs forward. "Xiao Xun, which one do you think suits Yan Yan best?"
After saying this, he took out the medicine-making tools he had Li Xun run around to buy from his Soul Guiding Device, his threatening intent clear.
"I think Sister Yan is suited for the Dragon Heart's Lament," Li Xun pondered for a moment.
"The Dragon's Tear contains the essence of the dragon race, and its greatest effect is to enhance spiritual power. If it doesn't improve the quality of the Martial Soul after consumption, it would have minimal impact on Sister Yan's current state."
"On the other hand, the Dragon Heart's Lament contains a trace of the dragon race's bloodline. Even if it doesn't improve Sister Yan's Martial Soul, enhancing her physical body would still be extremely beneficial."
Physical strength is directly linked to the absorption limit of Spirit Rings. The stronger the body, the higher the limit of Spirit Rings one can absorb.
At this stage, Dugu Yan's priority is definitely to obtain Spirit Rings.
The physical improvement from a trace of the dragon race's bloodline, Li Xun believed, would certainly be stronger than the effects of Whale Glue.
Hmm, Whale Glue should also be arranged for Sister Yan.
Li Xun thought to himself.
Now that Dugu Bo and his granddaughter were part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they couldn't skimp on the benefits they deserved.
After all, the stronger they were, the stronger the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be, and the stronger the school, the stronger Li Xun would be.
In any case, he wouldn't lose out.
Dugu Yan held the Dragon Heart's Lament in her hand. "Brother Li Xun, do I just eat this directly?"
"Sister Yan, see that flower bud that looks like a heart? You just need to absorb the essence from it," Li Xun pointed at the immortal herb and explained to Dugu Yan.
Without hesitation, Dugu Yan gently sucked the essence from the flower's heart.
As the effects of the Immortal Herb entered her body, a burning sensation instantly spread throughout Dugu Yan's entire being. Startled, she quickly sat cross-legged to absorb the medicinal energy.
"Grandpa Dugu, Sister Yan will probably take a long time to fully absorb it. Why don't you take your Immortal Herb now?"
Li Xun turned to look at the visibly tense Dugu Bo.
"That might be for the best..."
Dugu Bo steadied his nervous emotions.
Having witnessed Sword Douluo and the others consume Immortal Herbs at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he knew that worrying on the sidelines wouldn't be of any help.
"Grandpa Dugu, the essence of this Dragon's Tear lies entirely in its fruit. You just need to swallow the teardrop-like fruit."
Dugu Bo nodded and swallowed the teardrop in one gulp.
Li Xun watched the two absorbing the Immortal Herbs and forced himself to stay alert.
These two Immortal Herbs were ones he had learned about from books, different from those Tang San and the others had verified. How much they could enhance could only be determined by the final results.
In fact, there were still some Immortal Herbs in the Yin Yang Well, such as the Sweet Potato Golden Dragon and the Jade Bamboo of Divinity.
However, Li Xun only knew their names and had never seen any detailed information about them, so he didn't dare to rashly pick and distribute them to everyone.
The time spent waiting alone was extremely long, and Li Xun hadn't slept for a day and a night. Just as he was about to lose control of his eyelids, Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes.
"How is it, Sister Yan?"
Li Xun perked up, eager to know the specific effects of the two Immortal Herbs.
Dugu Yan slowly stood up and stretched her body: "My Soul Power has increased from level 29 to level 30, but the exact extent of the improvement can only be determined after obtaining a Spirit Ring."
"However, I have a vague feeling that my Soul Power has increased by about five levels."
"Has your Martial Soul and physical constitution changed?" Li Xun asked with concern.
"After consuming the Immortal Herb, my Martial Soul felt like it was being burned, tempered by the medicinal energy."
Dugu Yan summoned her Martial Soul, and the originally dark green Jade Phosphor Serpent had turned crimson, with two small short horns growing on its head.
"Now my Martial Soul is called the Crimson Serpent Dragon. There hasn't been any change in its innate abilities, but a trace of Fire Poison has been mixed into the original Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom."
"This Fire Poison doesn't affect me and can suppress the Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom, preventing it from spreading within my body."
"More importantly, the Crimson Serpent Dragon Martial Soul is slowly improving my physical body." Dugu Yan smiled: "I think as long as I absorb one or two Soul Bones, I won't have to worry about the Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom anymore."
"Thank you, Li Xun."
Li Xun smiled and nodded. After all, it wasn't like biting into a dragon, but rather an Immortal Herb derived from a dragon.
Having such effects was already quite impressive.
At this moment, Dugu Bo also opened his eyes. Perhaps due to the effects of the Dragon's Tear, his eyes now contained a sharp gleam that made it hard for others to look directly at him.
His overall demeanor had also changed, exuding a subtle air of nobility.
"Grandpa Dugu, how do you feel?" Li Xun circled around Dugu Bo.
Although Dugu Bo's appearance hadn't changed, his overall vitality and spirit made him seem as if he was growing younger.
"Haha, kid, my Soul Power has reached level 93."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily.
His cultivation had been progressing slowly, stuck at level 92 for many years. Now that he had finally broken through, he felt much more at ease.
"..."
He just broke through? Li Xun was a bit dumbfounded.
The Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's breakthroughs were so grand and spectacular, so why was it that when it came to the old poison master, it was completed so quietly and without fanfare?
Seeing Li Xun's expression, Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, exuding an air of authority: "What's with that look on your face? Are you not satisfied with my breakthrough?"
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied. I was just overwhelmed by the aura you exuded during your breakthrough," Li Xun forced a smile and quickly clapped his hands.
Dugu Bo thought of the scenes when the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had their breakthroughs and nodded with a smile.
The aura that these Titled Douluos inadvertently exuded was indeed a tremendous pressure for lower-level Soul Masters.
Dugu Yan covered her mouth, quietly giggling, but didn't say much.
She was afraid that if she spoke, Li Xun might get beaten up.
"By the way, Grandpa Dugu, how are you feeling now?" Li Xun hurriedly changed the subject.
