Chapter 102: Tang San: I Came to the Treasure Bowl, but It Was Empty...
While Dugu Bo was heading towards Qin Zhuo's residence, Tang San was not idle either. He was lying at the place where the aura of the ice spring and fire spring met, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes.
"Why is this happening? Isn't the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire a treasure trove? Why is there nothing here besides two springs? Where's the Fiery Apricot? Where's the Star-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass? Where are these two medicinal herbs that grow with the springs?"
Tang San murmured, although the temperature in the area where the spring water converged was suitable, he felt a chill.
To be honest, he was very excited when Dugu Bo brought him here. After all, it was one of the three treasure pots.
But who would have thought that this was indeed the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, but the basin was empty!
Although there weren't any herbs left, it didn't live up to its name of a cornucopia! Furthermore, from some traces, it was clear that this place was once filled with treasures, but they had been dug up.
Knowing that he was a step late, Tang San felt even worse.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo did not want to take his life. Fortunately, he was an outer disciple of the Tang Sect. Fortunately, he was not honest when he was in the Tang Sect and secretly learned the inner sect poison scriptures. If he did not have a solid foundation in pharmacology, it would be unknown whether he could still be lying here intact.
Unfortunately, although he thought of a solution, he had no goods on hand! He couldn't implement it at all. His current situation was just like his teacher Yu Xiaogang, with only theories...
"Damn it! If the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass were still there, I would definitely be able to solve Dugu Bo's problem. I could also use the Ice Spring and Fire Spring to temper my golden body. In this way, not only could I gain the favor of a Titled Douluo, but I might even be able to compete with Qin Zhuo in terms of physical strength..."
"Who on earth has destroyed this place like this? Not even a single root has been left, showing no reverence for this precious land. Such a person deserves death!"
Tang San said while looking at the sky fiercely. After a long while, he seemed to have accepted the current situation. He smiled bitterly and looked at the ice spring and fire spring in the distance. A very bold idea emerged in his mind.
"Without the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, it's impossible to enter the spring water. However, the aura emitted by the Ice Spring and the Fire Spring should... perhaps... also have a tempering effect..."
Tang San took a deep breath. Although this method was risky and the effect would be even worse without the assistance of medicinal herbs, since he had arrived at the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, one of the three treasure chests, he couldn't go back without taking any benefits!
Thinking of this, Tang San stepped out of his comfort zone. Heat waves and cold currents hit him, and the alternating hot and cold ravaged his body.
"ah----"
The screams echoed throughout the forest, and some timid soul beasts were frightened and fled in all directions.
On the other side, Qin Zhuo and Dugu Bo stared at each other, and finally Dugu Bo sighed helplessly.
"Are you trying to say that I can force the toxins in my body into my soul bones, so that it won't harm my own strength and the toxins won't continue to affect me?"
"Hmm? You've also thought of this idea?"
Qin Zhuo frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again, having guessed something in his mind.
Shrek should have gone to Blue Tyrant Academy by now, and before that, Shrek had fought with Yu Tianheng and the others. As expected, Tang San used wine to break Dugu Yan's poison.
So by now Dugu Bo should have brought Tang San to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but then a problem arises.
Tang San was able to obtain the Golden Body Tempering Chain, immunity to ice and fire, and save Dugu Bo and his grandchildren from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. This was all made possible by the abundant resources in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
But now it has already been looted by Qin Zhuo. Ordinary herbs are okay, but those top-grade fairy herbs cannot be grown in a few years. Even if Tang San has rich theoretical knowledge, there is nothing for him to use!
In other words, Dugu Bo first got a solution from Tang San, but was unable to implement it due to practical reasons, so he rushed to Qin Zhuo. After all, if one of the two hopes was shattered, the remaining hope of Qin Zhuo would become the final salvation.
"This method... is feasible! But the problem is that I have been cultivating the Green Phosphorus Snake martial spirit for more than seventy years. My body has long been integrated with the poison. It is not easy to force the poison out of my soul power. I am afraid that the backlash will cost me my life! And my granddaughter, although she was poisoned accidentally, her strength is too weak. Forcing the poison out is also a big challenge for her!"
Dugu Bo said with a somewhat miserable voice that in his opinion there was no new way out of this matter.
"Tsk! Using soul power directly to force it will definitely not work! Soul power comes from the martial soul, and your poison is also produced by the martial soul. If you use the power of the martial soul to fight against the martial soul itself, there will definitely be backlash. Therefore, this requires some special means. Under the premise of not interfering with the soul power, slowly guide the poison out of your body and then concentrate it on the soul bone. This is a long process, and you can't expect to solve it completely, but I believe that as long as the poison is led out of the fourth layer, your pain will be greatly alleviated."
"As for your granddaughter, if we use this method now, once she reaches the Titled Douluo level, her condition will definitely be better than yours... But the prerequisite is, can you trust me, Senior?"
Qin Zhuo casually took out a pill from the independent space. It was azure in color, and had great tonic and detoxifying effects!
This kind of pill is the same as the one he gave Zhu Zhuqing before, but it is simply classified into two categories. One type is a pure tonic, which he uses to assist in body training and scare people. The other type is a detoxification pill with a little plasma added, which is used for emergencies.
It is impossible to add new blood. Each of your own blood cells is extremely precious. Losing one is a huge loss. However, there is no big problem with plasma...
"What is this?"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Qin Zhuo to take out a pill. Could it be that he had prepared it in advance?
"It's just a small pill. For most people, it only strengthens the body, but for you and your granddaughter, it can separate your toxins and soul power."
Qin Zhuo let go of the pill and let it fall into Dugu Bo's tea. A scent of medicine immediately wafted out.
Really, you've been here for so long and you haven't even had a sip of water. Do you look down on me?
"I've provided the method, and I've also solved the most difficult part for you. Now it all depends on whether you dare to try."
Looking at Qin Zhuo's smiling expression, Dugu Bo's heart began to struggle again.
"Forget it! There is no hatred between you and me. Since I have come to your door, there is no reason not to trust you..."
After saying this, Dugu Bo picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Before he put the cup down, his pupils immediately contracted and he quickly entered a state of meditation.
