Chapter 30 Is this melon ripe or not?
Lin Yu took out a thick booklet from his soul tool; it was the "Illustrated Catalogue of Immortal Herbs" that he had taken from Chrysanthemum Douluo before leaving.
Although Yue Guan, that transvestite, is effeminate, his research on flowers and plants is truly unparalleled on the mainland.
This catalogue details the shapes, habits, and harvesting methods of various medicinal herbs.
"Let me see—the earthworm golden melon—"
Lin Yu flipped through the book while wandering around the herb garden.
This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire truly deserves its reputation as one of the three great treasure troves, with treasures everywhere.
A single step could turn into a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
But in Lin Yu's eyes, these were all weeds.
What he was looking for was a truly divine product.
"This isn't it—this isn't it either—"
Lin Yu muttered to himself as he kicked and stomped through the mud.
Dugu Bo followed behind, watching with a pounding heart.
Every time the kid kicked, his heart trembled.
That was his precious herb garden!
"Found it!"
Lin Yu suddenly stopped in front of an inconspicuous mound.
The area is overgrown with weeds, with only a few palm-sized leaves clinging to the ground, looking no different from sweet potato leaves.
Dugu Bo leaned over for a glance, his face full of disgust.
"This is the antidote you were talking about? It's just a clod of dirt!"
This kind of thing is plentiful on the outskirts of Sunset Forest, but even pigs won't eat it.
"A clod of dirt?"
Lin Yu tucked the catalog into his clothes, squatted down, and plunged his hands into the soil.
"Old poisoner, I'll show you what I'm made of today."
Use both arms to exert force.
The soil churned up.
Two golden melons were uprooted.
The melon wasn't big, only about the size of a fist. Its skin was covered with fine dragon scale patterns, and it was golden all over, emitting a strong earthy smell.
But amidst this earthy smell, there was a faint, almost imperceptible, dragon's roar.
"then!"
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Yu sent two golden gourds arcing through the air, heading straight for Dugu Bo's face.
Dugu Bo subconsciously reached out to take it.
It feels heavy in your hand.
These aren't melons, they're clearly two pieces of gold and iron.
Moreover, this melon seemed to contain an extremely domineering energy. As soon as it came into contact with the skin, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul within the body began to stir restlessly.
The feeling was like a commoner meeting an emperor, instinctively wanting to submit.
"What...what is this thing?"
Dugu Bo held the two golden melons, his hands trembling slightly.
He could sense that the bottleneck that had plagued him for years was beginning to loosen under the stimulation of this aura.
"Earth Dragon Golden Melon"
Lin Yu patted the dirt off his hands and casually sat down on the edge of the field.
"An earth-elemental immortal item possessing the bloodline of a dragon. Although it's not a true dragon, its dragon energy is pure enough."
"Snakes are inherently cold and yin, but this earth dragon golden gourd is an extremely yang and vigorous substance."
"Both you and Sister Yan Yan possess the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, which is a top-tier serpent-type Martial Soul, but it can never truly escape the category of serpent."
"But this thing can help you evolve your martial soul."
Dugu Bo held the golden melon, his breathing becoming heavy.
evolution?
That's what it means to transform into a dragon.
Once transformed into a dragon, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King is no longer a serpent king, but an Azure Phosphorous Flood Dragon.
Not only will their strength increase dramatically, but the problem of toxin backlash that has plagued their family for generations will also be solved.
Because of its powerful body, the dragon was able to suppress the deadly poison within its body.
"Just eat it?"
Dugu Bo still found it hard to believe.
The problem that had plagued him his entire life could be solved with just these two clods of earth.
This is too frivolous.
"Just eat it, don't spit out the skin."
Lin Yu pointed to the golden melon.
"However, this stuff is very potent. It's fine for you, as a Title Douluo, but you'll have to be careful with Sister Yan Yan. It would be best if you could help her refine the medicinal power."
Dugu Bo nodded emphatically and carefully put the golden melon into his soul tool.
This is a lifesaver.
Just as he put away the golden melon, Dugu Bo suddenly stopped.
He looked at Lin Yu, a hint of conflict appearing on his old face.
"Kid, if my martial soul really evolves into a dragon, then will all my poison skills be completely useless?"
Dugu Bo's skills all lie in poison.
If he were to abandon his poison skills to save his life, wouldn't he, the Poison Douluo, become a tiger with its teeth pulled out?
In this dog-eat-dog world of Soul Masters, without strength, even if you survive, you will be bullied.
Lin Yu rolled his eyes.
That old man is really greedy; he wants both his life and power.
But that's normal.
Who wants to fall from the clouds into the mud?
"Don't worry, it won't be ruined."
Lin Yu stood up and walked to the corner of the herb garden.
There stood a lone, large white flower.
The petals are as white as snow, spotless, swaying gently in the breeze, breathtakingly beautiful.
Strangely, nothing grows within three meters of this flower.
Not even an ant can be seen.
"That is—"
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted.
He was deeply impressed by this flower.
When he first discovered this medicinal herb garden, he tried to get close, but the toxins in his body suddenly surged, and he almost died on the spot.
"Snow-white swan's kiss".
Lin Yu pointed to the flower from a distance.
"This thing is extremely poisonous. Any toxin that comes into contact with it will have its toxicity amplified a thousandfold. Even a titled Douluo will die instantly."
Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine.
There are such bizarre things in this world.
Amplified toxicity a thousandfold.
This is both a holy grail for poisoners and a nightmare for them.
"If you're worried about ruining your poison skills, just place this flower next to you when you practice in the future."
"By using its aroma to stimulate toxins in the body, you can take your poison-fighting skills to the next level."
"But remember this very well."
Lin Yu's expression turned serious.
"Absolutely do not touch it directly, and definitely do not eat it."
"Otherwise, even God can't save you."
Dugu Bo looked at the exquisite white flower, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
Fortune favors the bold.
With this, his Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Poison could probably kill a Title Douluo instantly!
In addition, the martial soul evolution brought about by the Earth Dragon Golden Melon —
This wave of profits is huge.
"Good lad!"
Dugu Bo laughed loudly, and the awkwardness in his heart completely disappeared.
This deal was worthwhile.
Let alone joining the Spirit Hall, even if he were to acknowledge Lin Yu as his godfather, he wouldn't—cough cough, that won't work, it would mess up the generational hierarchy.
Dugu Bo reached down and touched his waist.
A dark green leather pouch appeared in his hand.
The bag was small, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Take it."
Dugu Bo tossed the physical body to Lin Yu.
"This is the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, which can hold living creatures. Since I promised to let you take whatever you want, how can I do without a handy tool?"
Lin Yu took the treasure pouch and squeezed it.
It feels warm and smooth to the touch; it's definitely a good product.
In the original story, this was Tang San's standard equipment, but now it belongs to him.
It feels so good to snatch it away.
"Thanks, old monster."
Lin Yu didn't stand on ceremony and hung it directly on his waist.
"Alright, I'll go and fetch Yan Yan right now."
Dugu Bo was an impatient man; now that he had a solution, he couldn't wait a moment longer.
"You stay here, don't wander off."
"Although this is my territory, there are quite a few soul beasts in this Sunset Forest, so be careful."
After saying that, Dugu Bo's figure flashed and he disappeared into the valley above as a streak of green light.
Lin Yu glanced in the direction Dugu Bo had left and pursed his lips.
That old man runs faster than a rabbit.
But it's good that he left, so he won't make a fuss over nothing.
Lin Yu turned around and looked at the herb garden again.
I only took two medicinal herbs just now; I can't waste all the treasures in this garden.
Especially that one.
He moved through the flowers with a clear goal in mind.
Soon, he found a strange plant in a crevice in the rocks.
The plant is entirely green, with a few white leaves at the top, and a crystal-clear dewdrop in the center of each leaf.
The dewdrops, facing the sunlight, refracted a rainbow of colors, as if countless eyes were watching the world.
Longing for you until my eyes are dry with anticipation.
This is a top-grade herb that enhances spiritual power.
For Lin Yu, who possesses the Ghost Gate Martial Soul, mental power is everything.
Summoning ghosts and controlling a parade of demons both require immense mental strength.
This is something you must eat.
Lin Yu carefully picked the dewdrop along with the leaf.
Without hesitation, he tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.
Cool.
An intensely cool sensation slid down my throat and instantly flooded my mind.
His spirit, which had been somewhat exhausted from absorbing the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, was now as if it had been injected with a powerful stimulant.
Lin Yu immediately activated the Yellow Springs Undying Scripture and began refining the medicinal power.
