Chapter 7 I Want to Cling to Qian Renxue's Thigh
Dugu Lin said, "I've already decided on the Immortal Herbs I need. Besides the Blazing Apricot Blossom and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, I'll choose the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid and the Beautiful Silk Tulip. As for you, sister..."
After thinking for a moment, Dugu Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Grandpa, sister, you should wait until your martial soul defects are resolved before taking the Immortal Herbs. Although the medicinal properties of Immortal Herbs are mild, the effects of two Immortal Herbs will counteract each other, and consuming two in a lifetime is already the limit. So, it's better if we don't waste them."
Dugu Bo nodded, then said with some concern, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Grandpa also ate a medicinal herb before. Although it's not as potent as the Immortal Herbs you mentioned, its medicinal properties are still very strong. If there are any Immortal Herbs you don't recognize, it's best not to touch them."
He was able to break through to the Title Douluo level because of the suppression of toxins in his body by the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes and because he had consumed a rare medicinal herb.
Dugu Lin did not believe that Dugu Bo was unaware of the medicinal effects or value of those Immortal Herbs, even though he was guarding the treasure mountain.
Would a connoisseur of poisons not know the value of a medicinal herb?
Dugu Bo would definitely conduct some experiments, and only after suffering some backlash from the Immortal Herbs would he stop wasting them with lingering fear.
At most... at most it would be extremely serious! Extremely serious! Extremely serious underestimation of the value of these herbs, and then giving away these severely undervalued medicinal herbs as ordinary medicine.
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's worry, Dugu Lin also frowned.
After a quick scan, he found three Immortal Herbs in front of him, and about five or six other rare spiritual herbs that were one level below them.
After a rough estimate, it was found that there were probably more than twenty Immortal Herbs in the entire Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes! And there would be no less than sixty second-grade rare herbs.
There are herbs that look like snow silkworms, herbs that look like irises, and herbs that look like lotus flowers, lingzhi mushrooms, ginseng, and so on, too numerous to count.
'But...I don't know them!'
Dugu Lin was secretly annoyed. Why didn't he die? If he had just gotten a simple alchemy system, he could have become a god in no time and show Tang San.
When he read the novel, it only mentioned a few kinds of things, and he didn't memorize or write down how to pick them, how to eat them, or how to store or consume them. He doesn't remember any of it.
However, if it's just an Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, that wouldn't be difficult for Dugu Lin.
An Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, a single flower!
It must have eaten the petals and sucked the stamens.
We can't just abandon the flowers and dig up the roots to eat, can we? And then chew on the flower stalks? That would be too much!
"Grandpa, sister, I only recognize a few of these Immortal Herbs. Look, this one is the Beautiful Silk Tulip, the Immortal Herb that will evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I think..."
What do you want?
Dugu Lin squinted, pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Grandpa, I'm hesitating whether to eat it myself or wait until we become stronger and use this Beautiful Silk Tulip to trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Putting aside everything else, they would definitely be willing to pay three 50,000-year-old soul bones!"
"Three 50,000-year-old soul bones?!"
Dugu Bo was greatly surprised.
Let alone a 50,000-year soul bone, even an ordinary 10,000-year soul bone can cause a major power to fight tooth and nail.
Soul Bone, also known as: Blood River Treasure!
Legend has it that many years ago, two powerful kingdoms waged a war over a 20,000-year-old soul bone. The war resulted in countless deaths and injuries, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
From then on, the Soul Bone was known as the Blood River Treasure, priceless.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would actually part with three priceless 50,000-year-old soul bones? Dream on!
"Grandpa, don't underestimate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's desire for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It's the lifelong dream of countless generations. Besides, we can negotiate the price slowly. If a 50,000-year soul bone isn't enough, three 20,000-year soul bones are definitely not a problem!"
Is that so?
Dugu Bo's lips curled slightly, revealing an expression that could be described as 'extortion', but after a moment's thought, he frowned and said, "Lin'er, why don't you eat it? Your second martial soul is also a tool martial soul, so you'll definitely be able to evolve your martial soul!"
"Hehe~ Alright!" Dugu Lin stopped pretending and accepted the Beautiful Silk Tulip with a clear conscience.
Dugu Yan was completely relegated to the background, only feeling that her younger brother and grandfather's smiles were so sinister~ But she liked it.
Dugu Lin continued, "This white herb, which looks like a daffodil, should be the Narcissus Jade Bone, which is very suitable for my sister to take in the future."
Dugu Yan's eyes gleamed with intense light as she stared at the narcissus jade-like skin and bones, unable to move her feet, longing to devour it right now.
"Hey? Grandpa, come and see, isn't this flower exactly the same as the martial soul of your old nemesis, Chrysanthemum Douluo?"
"Yes, they are indeed the same."
Dugu Bo had naturally paid attention to the rare and precious Chrysanthemum in his own medicinal herb garden, but he didn't know what to do with it.
Dugu Lin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Grandpa, I've only heard the names of these Immortal Herbs; I don't know how to use them. Now we're trapped in a situation where we're guarding a treasure mountain without even realizing it!"
"Uh... little brother, you don't know either?"
"Hmm! However, although I don't know, I have a way to obtain books on how to use the Immortal Herb."
At this moment, Dugu Lin began to guide the conversation again. Since he had the script, he could easily adapt it to reflect information he would acquire in the future.
"Real?"
"Um."
Dugu Lin looked at Dugu Bo and said seriously, "If we're talking about who on this continent knows how to use these Immortal Herbs, besides the future Tang San, there are three other people who are most likely to know!"
Which three people?
"The first person is the patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia clan."
"Yes, he might indeed know," Dugu Bo confirmed, stroking his beard.
"The second person is Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Broken Clan."
"Yang Wudi? He might know! Back then... sigh~ I even went to the Broken Clan to ask for medicine back then, but... never mind, it's all ancient history."
"And the third person is your old nemesis, Grandpa Yue Douluo."
"Yue Douluo? He does indeed have a deep understanding of some flowers and plants..." Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly frowned and said unhappily, "Lin'er, whose old enemy are you talking about? Use a different word next time."
"Oh~"
Dugu Lin covered his mouth to suppress a laugh, then continued, "Grandpa, it should be easy for us to get information about the Immortal Herbs from Ye Renxin, the patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia family, right?"
The Dugu family and the Nine Heart Begonia family both live in Heaven Dou City and are experts in medicinal herbs. One is a poison expert and the other is a doctor. They are considered old friends.
