Chapter 28: Ninth-grade Purple Ganoderma Helps Dugu Bo
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief.
He walked quickly to Long Chen and looked him up and down.
It seemed that he wanted to confirm whether Long Chen was lying, or if there was anything wrong with him because of the accidental ingestion.
"You... did you really eat those two herbs? They are all highly poisonous herbs. Even I dare not touch them easily."
Long Chen smiled indifferently and explained seriously:
"I naturally know how powerful those two herbs are. The one with the extreme cold poison is called Eight Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, and the one with the extreme heat poison is called Fiery Apricot.
If you take any one of them alone, you will be poisoned to death.
Although the two herbs are highly poisonous, their toxicity can restrain each other and achieve the effect of yin and yang harmony.
You also know that there are many poisonous herbs here. It is impossible to stay here for a long time without being affected. Even you can't do it, let alone me.
So, I will take a risk and take those two herbs at the same time. Now, my body can resist the poison here."
After listening to Long Chen's explanation, Dugu Bo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"Boy, your courage and boldness are really admirable. However, do you know how big the risk is? If you are not careful, you will be doomed!"
"Of course I know the risks, but I also know that only by doing this can I develop the detoxification pill here with peace of mind and better help you and your granddaughter detoxify."
A smile appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
He deliberately came to see Long Chen a few days later, just to test whether Long Chen could use the herbs here to resist the poison gas with his own ability.
As a result, Long Chen really did it.
Moreover, it was in a way that shocked him.
"Forget it, since the two herbs have been eaten by you, I have nothing to say. You can call out their names, which means you know their value better than me. When will you start developing the detoxification pill?"
"You can start today, just follow me."
Dugu Bo followed Long Chen and came to a place in the medicine garden.
Long Chen pointed to a lavender, cap-like fairy grass with nine leaves and said,
"This herb is called Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. It is the best among the Ganoderma. It has the effect of strengthening the body, nourishing the essence, and increasing qi and strength."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he picked it directly and handed it to Dugu Bo.
"Ganoderma is warm in nature. It is good for your body after eating it. When taking it, chew it directly and swallow it, and then practice for a while to dissolve the medicinal power."
Dugu Bo took the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and hesitated.
He was a suspicious person and had only known Long Chen for a few days.
Long Chen knew more about various medicinal herbs than he did.
Only he and Long Chen knew this place.
If he died, the medicine garden that he had taken care of for many years would fall into Long Chen's hands.
So, he had to be on guard.
"Boy, although my life is not worth much, I still want to live a few more years. As the saying goes, one must be on guard against others. For so many years, I have only trusted myself. I can trust you once, eat this herb. However, if you dare to play any tricks, you will be buried with me."
Dugu Bo said, and then spit out a green bead from his mouth.
Under Dugu Bo's control, the bead slowly floated in front of Long Chen.
"This is the bead that condensed after my martial soul, the Green Phosphorus Snake, evolved into the Green Phosphorus Snake King. Half of my strength is in this bead. If you eat it, if I die, it will directly detonate in your body."
Long Chen took the bead and joked:
"Senior, I will not harm you. On the contrary, sometimes I even doubt whether you will kill me to silence me after I detoxify you and your granddaughter. After all, I am the only one who knows about this treasure land besides you."
Long Chen knew that the bead could promote the condensation of soul power and was good for his cultivation.
As soon as he finished speaking, he swallowed the pill without hesitation. His dantian suddenly felt warm and comfortable.
Dugu Bo saw this and laughed.
"Although I, Dugu Bo, am cold-blooded and have killed countless people, I am definitely not an ungrateful person. If you can really cure the backlash poison for me and Yanyan, not only will I not kill you, but I will also treat you as a friend. The pill you ate will be good for your cultivation. After you cure me, I will lure it out."
"Can itrust your words?"
"Of course, I, Dugu Bo, keep my word. To be honest, you have good courage and potential. I originally wanted to take you as my apprentice. But after bringing you to this medicine garden, I found that you know more than me, so I gave up the idea."
"Okay, I believe you. Hurry up and eat this ninth-grade purple ganoderma. After the medicinal effect is absorbed, we will proceed to the next stage of treatment."
Dugu Bo nodded, stuffed the ninth-grade purple ganoderma into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and then sat cross-legged to practice.
An hour later, Dugu Bo woke up from his practice.
"Boy, that ninth-grade purple ganoderma really has a beneficial effect on Qi."
"Yes. You need to practice for a while longer to allow the medicinal effect to be fully absorbed."
"Okay."
In the following period of time, Long Chen refined several pills for Dugu Bo and told him to take them for a while to see the effect.
After all, the ninth-grade purple ganoderma is the best among the ganoderma, and it is indeed good for Dugu Bo's body that was attacked by the toxins.
After taking it, when the toxins in his body attacked, it was not as painful as before.
So, after this incident, Dugu Bo trusted Long Chen a little more.
That day, Long Chen woke up from his practice, his eyes lit up.
"Dugu Bo's Snake King Pill is really a good thing. The speed of soul power improvement is faster. It helped me break through level 40 ahead of schedule, and I can go hunting soul beasts again."
Long Chen stood up and turned to look at Dugu Bo who was practicing and regulating his breath.
At this time, Dugu Bo also woke up from his practice.
"Senior, I have good news for you."
"Oh? What good news?"
"My soul power has broken through level 40. Next, I should hunt a suitable soul beast to obtain the fourth soul ring."
Dugu Bo heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into praise:
"Boy, your progress is really amazing. You broke through level 40 so quickly."
"This is all thanks to your Snake King Pill."
Dugu Bo stood up and stretched his muscles.
"There are many thousand-year soul beasts in the Sunset Forest. Let me accompany you."
Long Chen shook his head gently and smiled:
"Senior, I have an unwelcome request. Can you accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest? I want to hunt a ten-thousand-year soul beast for the fourth soul ring."
"What? Ten-thousand-year soul beast?! You just reached level 40. You are so greedy. Can your body bear it?"
"Don't worry, I can bear it."
