The poison core that Yun Chuan helped Dugu Bo condense was not something as simple as merely gathering poison together. If it were just a simple accumulation of toxins, that would be called a stone, not worthy of being called a "core."
The specific principles behind condensing the "poison core" were too complicated to explain in detail. In short, one only needed to know that without the assistance of Yun Chuan's miraculous power of the Five Elements, it would have been absolutely impossible for Dugu Bo to condense a poison core in his dantian. Otherwise, if it were really that easy to resolve, how could the deadly poison have troubled him for so many years?
After all the toxins throughout his body had been gathered in the dantian and condensed into a single poison core, Dugu Bo's complexion immediately improved significantly. Yun Chuan took advantage of the situation and once again used the power of the Five Elements to help him sort out his body, nourishing and repairing the body that had been corroded by poison for many years…
When everything finally came to an end,
and Dugu Bo opened his eyes again, his entire person had transformed from a withered old man with graying hair and wrinkles deep enough to trap flies, into an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face. His physique had improved by far too much compared to before.
"This poison core…"
Dugu Bo sensed the dark green poison core in his dantian, as well as the extremely relaxed feeling in his body and the indescribable sense of power. He was practically going mad with joy. Because he knew that from now on, he would never again be troubled by deadly poison.
A chronic illness that had plagued him for many years was resolved in a single day—how could anyone not go crazy with happiness?
"Little friend, great kindness needs no words of thanks."
Dugu Bo turned around and looked at Yun Chuan, whose face showed a trace of fatigue, and said solemnly:
"You helped me resolve a chronic illness that has troubled me for many years. From now on, this old man will follow your commands. As for this precious land, consider it my token of allegiance upon joining Spirit Hall."
After Yun Chuan truly helped him resolve the poisoning that had plagued him for years, Dugu Bo no longer had the slightest doubt about him. Moreover, if he wanted to advance further in the future, as well as help his granddaughter's martial soul evolve, he would have to rely entirely on Yun Chuan. So he simply expressed his willingness to hand over this precious land to him, using it as a base for Spirit Hall to cultivate talents in the future.
After all, Yun Chuan had already explained the effects of the fairy herbs clearly before. Dugu Bo naturally understood what such a precious land meant to a major power. He clearly knew that he alone could not protect this place, and since he did not understand the medicinal properties of these fairy herbs, stubbornly guarding this place would be meaningless. It was better to do someone a favor and hand it over voluntarily.
And since he originally owned this precious land, and now took the initiative to hand it over, Yun Chuan would definitely feel embarrassed to take it without giving him any benefits. When the time came, whether it was his own strength or his granddaughter's martial soul evolution, Yun Chuan certainly would not treat them unfairly.
It could only be said that Dugu Bo was extremely shrewd and had made a wise choice.
…
After resolving Dugu Bo's poisoning problem,
the next step was the exciting moment of harvest.
Yun Chuan felt the long-silent rune at his brow begin to stir again, and he was overjoyed. These fairy herbs really were useful to him, but he didn't yet know which ones.
Following the guidance of the rune at his brow, Yun Chuan slowly walked around the Ice-Fire Two-Aspect Eyes. He discovered that basically all the fairy herbs could cause the rune at his brow to react, but the strongest fluctuations came from the two fairy herbs that the original protagonist Tang San had consumed—one belonging to ice and one to fire.
Octagonal Black Ice Grass!
Infernal Fire Apricot!
"Good. In that case, I'll consume these two fairy herbs first!"
After making his decision, Yun Chuan stepped toward the herbs beside the Extreme Yin Spring within the Ice-Fire Two-Aspect Eyes. The most eye-catching one there was a white herb.
The top of this herb looked like a large white flower with eight petals, with its center shimmering like ice crystals, dotted with tiny stamens. There was no fragrance at all.
And its location was precisely the central point on the side of the Extreme Yin Spring! Obviously, it was the coldest fairy herb among all the herbs.
Seeing Yun Chuan walk straight toward that cold, chilling herb, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel curious. He knew that the cold poison of this herb was extremely terrifying—even he didn't dare approach it. But judging from Yun Chuan's actions, it seemed like he intended to eat it. Could it be that the cold poison of this herb was just an illusion and it could actually be eaten directly?
Yun Chuan paid no attention to Dugu Bo's inner thoughts. When he reached the Octagonal Black Ice Grass, he felt the terrifying cold air rushing toward him. With a thought, the Five Elements light circulated within his body, dissolving the incoming cold poison.
Then he raised his hand and waved it.
A streak of cold light flashed.
The eight-petaled white flower fell in response, landing among the herbs. In an instant, a wave of cold air spread out, and a faint layer of white frost appeared on the surrounding herbs.
Although this herb was also of fairy-grade, it was not beneficial. On the contrary, it was a rare and deadly poison.
Its name was Octagonal Black Ice Grass, an extremely cold flower. It could chill the heart and freeze the central nervous system. Within ten meters of it, the cold air was overwhelming; after staying too long, the cold poison would invade the heart, becoming incurable. Not to mention eating it—just staying near it would bring disaster.
However, relying on the protection of the Five Elements power, Yun Chuan ignored the cold poison emitted by the herb. He bent down and picked it up directly, his hand constantly covered with a layer of five-colored light to resist the invasion of cold energy.
Then, holding the Octagonal Black Ice Grass, he quickly ran to the other side of the Ice-Fire Two-Aspect Eyes, to the center of the Extreme Yang Spring. This time, his target was a plant that looked like cabbage but was entirely fiery red—the Infernal Fire Apricot!
Seeing that Yun Chuan did not immediately consume the fairy herb after picking it, but instead ran to the other side, Dugu Bo became even more curious. However, he did not interrupt, and simply watched quietly as Yun Chuan swung his left hand and dug out the fiery red herb from its roots.
At this moment, he was holding one ice-type and one fire-type fairy herb in his left and right hands respectively.
A miraculous scene occurred.
Dugu Bo was shocked to discover that the two fairy herbs, which had previously been extremely cold and extremely hot, had their cold and heat completely disappear when Yun Chuan held them together.
A faint red glow enveloped the Octagonal Black Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Infernal Fire Apricot. The two seemed to neutralize each other, and no longer emitted biting cold or scorching heat.
After holding both fairy herbs in his hands, Yun Chuan looked at Dugu Bo, whose eyes were full of curiosity not far away, and casually explained:
"These two fairy herbs are both deadly poisons! One is ice, the other fire. Ordinary people cannot even approach them. But when these two fairy herbs intersect, they restrain each other with their auras, and that is the best time to consume them!"
After saying that, Yun Chuan did not hesitate at all and directly stuffed the two fairy herbs into his mouth. He felt them melt instantly, turning into sweet nectar that flowed down his throat… surprisingly tasty.
After consuming the two fairy herbs, Yun Chuan continued explaining to Dugu Bo:
"When the two fairy herbs intersect, the cold and scorching auras are neutralized. But this is only temporary. After a while, they will erupt in conflict. So they must be consumed immediately! Eating only one of these fairy herbs alone is deadly poison! But eating both together balances yin and yang, turning deadly poison into a supreme tonic! It can reshape the body, make one immune to all poisons, and grant an ice-and-fire immune physique!"
"So that's how it is!!"
With a look of sudden realization, Dugu Bo felt extremely fortunate that he had chosen to join Spirit Hall. Otherwise, the properties of these fairy herbs… even if he broke his head thinking, he would never have figured them out. After all, who could have guessed that poisonous fairy herbs could become beneficial when combined? And that there was even a time limit for consuming them—this was the most unimaginable part.
