Looking across the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, Dai Weisi could see countless herbs growing here. While only a few of them were immortal-grade, there were plenty of top-tier herbs to be found.
In addition to the obvious Bajiao Xuanbing Grass and Liehuo Xingjiao Shu, Dai Weisi also spotted other immortal herbs such as Ji Guan Feng Huang Kui, Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, and Qi Luo Yu Jin Xiang.
Among them, two herbs seemed to possess some kind of mystical allure, drawing Dai Weisi's attention and compelling him to pick them.
The first herb was a large chrysanthemum, displaying a stunning purple hue. Strangely, each petal of the flower appeared soft and fluffy, making it look incredibly cute.
The entire chrysanthemum seemed to be one perfect entity, without any fragrance emanating from it. The central pistil rose over half a foot above the petals, its tip shimmering with a faint golden light.
"This is the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju!" Dai Weisi exclaimed in delight. The Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju was undoubtedly the most suitable immortal herb for him. Consuming it would open the flow of his energy channels, circulating his blood through his meridians and enabling him to cultivate an indestructible body!
"However, while this is the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, it differs from the one associated with the Chrysanthemum Gate's martial soul."
The martial soul of the Chrysanthemum Gate was also the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, but its petals were sharp as blades, resembling countless flying daggers, unlike the soft, fluffy petals of the one before him.
Dai Weisi speculated that when the Chrysanthemum Gate absorbed soul rings, it likely absorbed too many rings that enhanced toughness, causing its martial soul to mutate and become exceptionally hard, just as Tang San's Blue Silver Grass changed after absorbing soul rings—it not only changed color but also gained increased hardness and toxicity.
This was why, despite engaging in many battles with the Chrysanthemum Gate, neither Dugu Bo nor the others had recognized that the herb before them was the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju.
Dai Weisi immediately plucked the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju and stored it in his soul guide ring. He then turned his attention to another herb that seemed to draw him even more.
Somehow, Dai Weisi felt that this second herb was even more important to him. It was a squash-like plant, appearing similar to a pumpkin or winter melon, and he wondered how sweet the flesh inside might be.
This squash-like herb radiated an overwhelming earth energy. Dai Weisi whispered to himself, "This is the Di Long Jin Gua, one of the six plant-type ferocious beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes ten thousand years later!"
The Di Long Jin Gua was a rare and precious earth-element herb in Douluo Continent. It possessed the ability to summon the earth's power, making it a formidable treasure.
If consumed, it would allow the user to better harness the force of the earth!
Since earth gives rise to gold, the extreme earth properties of this herb could generate the killing power of gold, which is why it was named Di Long Jin Gua.
Dai Weisi's martial soul, the Evil Eye White Tiger, had inherited the gold property's destructive power, so the Di Long Jin Gua was still of great use to him. It might even improve the quality of his martial soul, enhancing its gold property to its utmost potential.
With this in mind, Dai Weisi quickly plucked the Di Long Jin Gua and stored it in his soul guide ring.
"How is it, young friend? Is my medicinal garden not impressive?" Dugu Bo's voice suddenly interrupted Dai Weisi's excitement.
"It's impressive. These herbs are worth a fortune. Many of them are even unfamiliar to me," Dai Weisi responded, though he didn't lie. Apart from the immortal-grade herbs and Nine-Petal Purple Mushroom, he didn't recognize any of the other herbs.
It seemed like it would be a good idea to visit the Po Zhi Clan at some point. The Po Zhi Clan was skilled in alchemy and had an in-depth knowledge of the properties of various herbs. Perhaps they had an Immortal Herb Encyclopedia that he could learn from.
"Young friend, do you think these herbs could help me purge the toxins from my body?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Of course they can!" Dai Weisi nodded confidently, then suddenly changed the subject, "However, senior, I must warn you. The poison in your body comes from the very core of your martial soul. If it's removed, your entire toxic power might be lost. I wonder if you're willing to take that risk."
"What? This..."
Dugu Bo was stunned. His entire strength relied on this toxic power. Without the poison, his abilities would be no greater than a Soul Douluo's at best.
Seeing Dugu Bo's hesitation, Dai Weisi seized the moment to speak. "It seems that senior is unwilling to give up your toxic power. In that case, I'll have to suggest the final solution."
"Is there another way?" Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed with excitement as he asked, "Could this final method allow me to retain my toxic power while keeping my body unharmed?"
"Indeed."
"Then tell me, young friend, what is this method?"
Dai Weisi explained, "It's actually quite simple. If senior possesses a soul bone, you can store the poison within it. That way, the poison inside your body won't pose a threat anymore!"
"A brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of this?" Dugu Bo was overjoyed. He happened to possess a Medusa soul bone, which would be perfect for transferring the toxic energy inside him.
"However, senior, I haven't finished yet! While soul bones can store toxins, the space inside them is limited. Once it's full, the poison could spill out and still harm you."
"If it's a limb bone, that's one thing — at worst, you'd lose an arm or a leg. But if it's a skull or torso bone, that's a serious problem!"
"Ah..." Dugu Bo recoiled at the thought. If the poison reached his brain, he would surely die.
"But there's no need to worry. I have a millennium-grade torso soul bone with a toxic attribute. It comes with a soul bone skill that can compress the poison and enhance it using a cultivation method. It should be perfect for you, senior."
Dai Weisi then pulled out the torso soul bone and handed it to Dugu Bo. "By absorbing this soul bone, you can convert the poison into power. No toxin will be able to harm you anymore, and your strength will increase significantly."
"What? This..." Dugu Bo gazed at the millennium-grade soul bone before him, feeling a surge of excitement. He quickly said, "Young friend, such a precious soul bone — are you really giving it to me?"
"Of course. I'm not a poison-type soul master, so this soul bone is of no use to me."
"Then, I thank you greatly, young friend. Rest assured, I will never accept this gift for free. If you ever need assistance in the future, I will not stand idly by."
"In that case, I thank you, senior." Dai Weisi felt a wave of satisfaction. This could be considered as having won the favor of a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse for the Star Luo Empire.
"Senior, you can begin absorbing the soul bone now."
"No! I intend to give it to my granddaughter. This way, she'll become even stronger!"
Dai Weisi furrowed his brows and suggested, "Senior, the soul bone's skill can not only be used by you, but it can also condense the poison from another person into an even stronger form. I recommend that you absorb the soul bone first, and then help Miss Dugu Yan transfer the poison from her body into the soul bone.
If Miss Dugu Yan absorbs it, your toxic power is too overwhelming. Given her strength, she may not be able to condense your poison into a stronger toxin, and you would continue to suffer."
"Hmmm… You do have a point. Fine, I'll absorb this soul bone myself." With that, Dugu Bo began to release his soul power and absorb the soul bone.
Meanwhile, Dai Weisi didn't remain idle. He moved to the side and began consuming the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju.
First, he consumed the pistil, then slowly ate the petals, discarding the stem before sitting cross-legged to meditate, refining the medicinal power.
