Chapter 138: Dugu Bo Doubts His Life
🕑 Added 2025-03-15 10:03:01 +0000 UTCAfter hearing Sun Zhongjing’s suggestion, Dugu Yan summoned his martial soul as he was told, and saw the shadow of a small green snake appear on his palm.
“This is!”
Dugu Bo couldn’t help himself when he saw the little green snake.
“Jade Phosphor Serpent King!”
That’s right, Dugu Yan’s martial soul has evolved from an ordinary Jade phosphor Serpent to the king of jade phosphor serpent – the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, just like his grandfather!
This is undoubtedly a huge leap forward!
You know, Dugu Bo’s martial soul evolved into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor by chance when he became a Titled Douluo. It’s not that becoming a Titled Douluo will definitely make you become the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. It was pure luck that allowed him to evolve his martial soul, and he stayed in the unique environment around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a long time, which nourished and tempered him to a certain extent. A combination of various reasons allowed his martial soul to become the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
However, Dugu Yan did nothing but took a pill, which made his martial soul evolve by leaps and bounds, and he became the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor!
How could this not make Dugu Bo extremely surprised?
“Sect Master, what exactly is this elixir…”
Dugu Bo looked at Sun Zhongjing excitedly, wanting to ask something but not knowing how to start.
“Haha, this is all thanks to the magic grass you have here.”
Sun Zhongjing didn’t keep the secret any longer. He stroked his long beard before saying, “Each of the magical herbs here has a unique medicinal effect. As long as the medicinal power matches the characteristics of the martial soul, it will be easy to make the martial soul evolve.”
Although he said this lightly, Dugu Bo knew that it was definitely not easy. After all, different herbs can have different effects on different people. It is not so easy to grasp the degree…
If you don’t know the pharmacology and take medicine carelessly, the life-saving elixir can also turn into poison. That’s why Dugu Bo has been guarding this garden full of herbs for so many years, watching them without even daring to touch them. It's not that he didn't think of finding some people to test the medicine, but the same medicine, different doses, and different effects on different people and different physiques are all different.
The world of pharmacology is incredibly complex.
If you want to rely on capturing people to test the medicine and find out the abilities of these herbs, you need to consume a huge amount of herbs. Even so, you may not be able to test out the exact effect. What’s more, there are not many immortal herbs to begin with, and they will be gone after the test. What’s the point?
Now seeing that Sun Zhongjing used the herbs in this garden to refine pills, he actually made his granddaughter’s martial soul evolve. Dugu Bo finally had to sigh that he really didn’t know how to use the treasure before.
Sun Zhongjing had told him before how precious the herbs in the medicine garden were. He actually had no idea how precious they were, but now that he saw him refining the herbs, he immediately knew how precious the herbs in the garden were.
Being able to make the martial soul evolve… It completely subverts ordinary people’s cognition.
I wonder if taking this pill can help the Jade Phosphorus Snake King to advance further?
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo couldn’t help but look at him expectantly and said, “Master, I wonder if this pill can…”
Before he finished speaking, Sun Zhongjing waved his hand and said, “Do you really think this thing is an elixir? At our level, unless our martial souls are born with defects, with the addition of spirit rings… they have actually reached a state of perfection.”
“Your Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor is already a top-level martial soul, on the same level as the Seven Kill Swords, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the Clear Sky Hammer and the like. Above that are the legendary god-level martial souls. For example, the six-winged angel martial soul of the Spirit Hall. If you want your Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor to evolve again, forget it unless you can become a god," he said.
“I see…I am just being greedy.”
Dugu Bo felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but when he thought about it, it made sense. His martial soul was already a top-notch martial soul. If any random pill could allow a martial soul of this level to evolve… that would be too incredible.
“You…”
Sun Zhongjing looked at him and shook his head. Then he waved his hand, and two bottles of pills flew up into the air and floated towards him. “…I’ll give you two bottles of pills.”
“…Thank you, Sect Master.”
When Dugu Bo saw that he gave him two pills, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly accepted them happily.
Although this pill is useless to him, its ability to make his martial soul evolve makes it a rare treasure. With these two bottles of pills, it would be a good choice to give them to younger generations, do them as a favor, or win over anyone.
“By the way, Sect Leader. Yanyan has already taken one pill. Will it still be effective if she takes another one?” Dugu Bo suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly.
“It’s not working anymore.”
Sun Zhongjing shook his head and said, “The effect of this pill is mainly to strengthen the body’s foundation, dredge the meridians, and make up for the defects of her martial soul… Her martial soul has successfully evolved into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. Taking one more pill will not have any other effect.”
“I see.”
Dugu Bo felt a little sorry, but didn’t say anything else.
“Okay, now that Yanyan’s martial soul has evolved, it’s time for her to condense the poison pill.” Sun Zhongjing said.
“That’s right, let’s get started as soon as possible.”
Dugu Bo brought his granddaughter here for safety reasons. After all, with this big guy here to help take care of her, he can rescue her at any time if anything unexpected happens. So when he heard what he said, he immediately said to Dugu Yan: “Yanyan, when grandpa came here, he taught you the method of condensing the poison pill. You should know how to do it, right?”
“Grandpa, I understand everything.”
Dugu Yan nodded. The method of refining the poison pill was actually very simple. There was nothing mysterious about it. It just looked simple. The actual operation… was definitely not the same as imagined. Many things could not be described in words. One could only rely on one’s own understanding.
She sat cross-legged and gently closed her eyes…
I started to practice the poison pill method my grandfather taught me…
Unlike Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan was very young, and her martial soul was only the Jade Phosphor Serpent before, so although there were toxins deposited in her body, they were still within a controllable range. The amount was not large, and she had just taken the elixir and her body was cleansed. Now her meridians were all open, so the process of condensing toxins was very fast.
Strand by strand, the toxins throughout the body began to quickly gather in the dantian.
Dugu Yan concentrated on the process of refining the poison pill, concentrating his consciousness on his body, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
And in the outside world.
Sun Zhongjing and Dugu Bo, two titled Douluo, observed Dugu Yan from the left and right, protecting her. This kind of treatment is not something that everyone can enjoy.
No surprise, after a while.
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes. Her hair was originally green-purple, but now the green had faded and turned into dark purple. Her eyes remained green because that was her original eye color.
“…I did it!”
