I'm picking up fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 74: Research Madman (5k)

"Senior Dugu, you are too kind."

Lu Feng cupped his hands and said righteously: "As the saying goes, a doctor's heart is full of compassion. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is a doctor's duty."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Lu Feng.

It's rare to find a guy with such a strong sense of justice.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Feng continue, "Just give me the money."

The scene fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Dugu Bo patted Lu Feng on the shoulder and laughed, "Hahahaha! You kid, you really suit my temper!"

Dugu Bo has a weird personality, and many people in Tiandou City are terrified of poison.

People called Dugu Bo an old monster, not only because they were afraid of his poisonous nature, but more because he always did things based on his own preferences.

Lu Feng smiled and said calmly: "Everyone says that Senior Dugu has a weird personality, but in my opinion, Senior has a pure heart, so there is no need for me to beat around the bush."

"Hahaha, you kid, not bad."

Dugu Bo looked Lu Feng up and down, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.

"This guy is a good doctor and looks okay too. No wonder Yanyan mentions him every now and then."

"Compared to that guy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, this guy looks much more pleasing to the eye."

Dugu Bo grabbed Lu Feng's hand and squeezed it, "Level 26, that's barely acceptable."

When he tried to identify Lu Feng's age through the bones in his palm, Dugu Bo's expression became strange, "Boy, have you practiced any soul skills on your hands?"

Lu Feng's hands felt extremely flexible when pinched, but he couldn't clearly feel the condition of the bones.

Lu Feng's heart trembled, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Dugu Bo bent down and pinched Lu Feng's calves a few times through his pants. Lu Feng immediately felt a sore and numb feeling.

"Huh? You also practiced spirit skills on your legs?"

"Yeah." Lu Feng nodded and said, "When I was a kid, I liked running all over the mountains, so my calves are stronger than others."

Dugu Bo frowned, "I don't believe it, boy, take off your pants."

"Senior, are we still going to treat the disease?" Lu Feng said speechlessly.

"Hahaha" Dugu Bo raised his hands and scratched his head.

His actions made Lu Feng smile. As a Titled Douluo, and a man in his seventies or eighties, how come he still looked like Osro?
"Cough cough."

Dugu Bo coughed lightly and said seriously, "I have been managing this medicinal garden for many years, and I have figured out some tricks."

He pointed to a large light pink flower and said, "This herb can restrain the poison in this old man, but it's a pity that it can't detoxify me."

Lu Feng looked in the direction Dugu Bo pointed, and saw that the flower was a foot in diameter. Each petal looked as crystal clear as crystal and exuded a faint fragrance.

With the flower as the center, the area with a diameter of more than ten meters is covered with a light pink mist.

"A beautiful and fragrant fairy product." Lu Feng pondered in his heart.

Dugu Bo continued, "This flower can neutralize toxins. I have used living people to do experiments. Within the range of this mist, any poison has no effect. But if you have been poisoned before entering the range of this fragrance, it cannot detoxify you."

Lu Feng nodded. This fragrant and beautiful fairy product was too eye-catching. It was not surprising that Dugu Bo had studied it thoroughly.

“The prisoners I use for my experiments are all people who have committed heinous crimes. Instead of wasting food in prison, it is better to use them as fertilizer for my flowers.” Dugu Bo explained for the first time.

Only the emperor, Prince Xuexing and a few others knew that Dugu Bo used living people for experiments.

Even though Dugu Bo has a weird personality and is already a Titled Douluo-level warrior, he is also a person who cherishes his reputation.

Lu Feng nodded and said, "The opportunity is right in front of us. If we don't study it thoroughly, we won't be able to improve our own strength."

"If you are bound by the rules and obey them, then if you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat in the future, can you still pray that the enemy will let you go?"

"Hahaha, not bad, you have some of the style I had in my youth." Dugu Bo laughed.

He pointed to a chrysanthemum-like herb not far away and continued, "This herb is called Qirong Tongtianju."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's eyes flickered, as if he was remembering something unfriendly.

Dugu Bo and Yue Guan are old rivals.

When Dugu Bo was promoted to Titled Douluo, he went to Wuhun City to be awarded with honors in high spirits. The then Pope Qianxunji personally came forward to win him over, but Dugu Bo never liked the rules and regulations of big forces, so he politely declined.

Unexpectedly, after this incident, the Spirit Hall actually sent people to hunt him down.

The person who took action was Yue Guan.

Dugu Bo had just been granted the title, while Yueguan had been famous for a long time, and his soul power was as high as level ninety-four.

Dugu Bo escaped after a narrow escape from death, and was later rescued by Prince Xuexing and became a guest of the Tiandou royal family.

In the days that followed, Yue Guan would come to cause trouble for Dugu Bo every few years.

Every time, Dugu Bo was beaten without any chance to fight back.

And for so many years, Dugu Bo has not been able to break through the 92nd level. Later, he finally figured out that if Yue Guan really wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.

However, even though he understood it, every time Dugu Bo saw the arrogant look of 'Juhuaguan', he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten feces.

I wish I could use the soles of my shoes to greet the other person's face warmly.

"This herb is the one I have studied the most." Dugu Bo said proudly.

"Take its stamens, mix them with more than ten kinds of herbs such as seven-star grass, snow silkworm, and phoenix flower, and then use the spiritual energy of this hot Yangquan to refine the 'Vajra Invincible Divine Pill'."

"This elixir is specially supplied by the royal family. Each furnace is worth at least 50,000 gold soul coins."

Dugu Bo moved his fingers, and a stamen of the Tongtian Chrysanthemum flew into his hand. He wrapped the stamen with his soul power and sent it to Lu Feng, saying, "This stamen is good for cultivation, but you can't eat too much. Come, try it, young people need to supplement more."

Lu Feng took the pistil and suddenly didn't know what to say.

The main function of Qirong Tongtianju is to strengthen the body and nourish the vital energy. Eating it can circulate qi to the limbs, and blood flow through the eight meridians, and it can help you develop an indestructible body.

Used to make 'Viagra'?
No problem!
Lu Feng swallowed the pistil and immediately felt a heat coming from his body. He silently circulated his soul power to absorb the medicinal power. After a moment, Lu Feng opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.

This tiny stamen is actually worth a day's hard practice.

"Senior Dugu has superb medical skills. I admire you!" Lu Feng said with a bow.

"Humph!" Dugu Bo snorted, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and said, "Come with me."

After walking along the path for a few minutes, the two stopped outside a cave.

"This is where I make medicine. Boy, do you dare to follow me in and take a look?"

After saying that, Dugu Bo walked straight into the cave.

"Am I afraid of you?" Lu Feng followed closely without changing his expression.

As soon as he entered the cave, Lu Feng smelled a faint smell of snake. He frowned slightly and said, "Senior, your green phosphorus snake venom is one of the most powerful poisons I have ever seen. However, these small tests do not need to be taken out again."

"Hahaha." Dugu Bo laughed loudly and then retracted his snake venom.

The cave passage was narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through. The two walked forward a few dozen steps and came to a wide stone chamber.

It was a little dark in the stone chamber, with only a few faint beams of light shining through the cracks in the stone.

Lu Feng's eyes were covered with a layer of light purple, and he finally saw his surroundings clearly.

"This"

Lu Feng looked at everything in front of him and his face suddenly turned pale. He felt his stomach churning and almost vomited.

The surrounding walls are covered with transparent jars of various sizes, which contain various small soul beasts soaked in special liquids, as well as some special soul beast organs.

Green phosphorus snake.

Jade Scorpion.

Jade centipede.

There are also some soul beasts that have been completely transformed and Lu Feng cannot recognize them.

In the jar in the middle of the stone room, there were five large jars that were more than one person tall. In each jar was a set of organs, corresponding to the five internal organs.

Lu Feng was sure that these organs definitely came from humans.

Lu Feng slowly exhaled and calmed his inner excitement.

He turned his head and glanced at Dugu Bo, and his understanding of him deepened. This guy is simply a scientific research maniac!
"Boy, how are you? Are you scared?" Dugu Bo asked jokingly.

Even the emperor and the prince only knew that Dugu Bo tested drugs on living people.

But I never thought that he would actually dissect human bodies.

If such a crazy behavior were to be spread out, Dugu Bo might be labeled as an evil soul master.

Lu Feng smiled and said, "Senior Dugu, you also said that these people were all heinous criminals when they were alive. Now that they are doing research for you, it can be considered a worthy death."

"Good boy, you have courage!" Dugu Bo's eyes flashed, and he continued, "You guessed right, the poison in my body was caused by the herb I accidentally ate, which was produced when my martial soul mutated."

"Hey~"

He sighed, "The poison in my body has accumulated for many years. It has already spread all over my body, penetrated deep into my blood, and has been passed down from generation to generation. Yanyan's parents died from this poison."

"Over the years, I have been researching day and night to find a way to detoxify."

Lu Feng cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Senior Dugu is very loving to his children, and I can understand that."

"It's good that you can understand my painstaking efforts. If I can cure Yanyan, what does it matter even if I bear eternal infamy?" Dugu Bo said proudly.

"The toxins in the soul beasts are thousands or even tens of thousands times more than those in the poison attribute martial spirits. Boy, have you ever thought about why soul beasts are not affected by their own toxins?"

Lu Feng pondered for a while, then slowly uttered two words: "Poison sac."

"I have been researching for many years to come to this conclusion, and you actually revealed it in one sentence?" Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise.

He walked to a jar, pointed at the organ inside, and said, "Yes, it is the poison sac. For ordinary poison attribute soul masters, their toxins are hidden in their martial souls, and they do not have much effect on the soul masters themselves."

"But the toxins in my body are in my blood. Humans don't have an organ called a poison sac, so my toxins are all over my body, and I ended up like this now."

Dugu Bo said this and sighed again. If the price of success and fame is to lose his own son, he would rather not have that opportunity.

"I think Senior Dugu's research should have some results, right?" Lu Feng said with a bow.

"Hahaha, that's natural."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo opened his mouth, a green light came out, and a emerald green bead slowly floated out.

"This pill bead is condensed from the evolution of my Green Phosphorus Snake."

"Since humans don't have an organ to store toxins, I will create one myself."

Dugu Bo said calmly: "This bead can not only condense toxins, but also promote the condensation of soul power. It can be said that half of my strength lies in this bead."

Lu Feng looked at the beads floating in the air, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

As expected, those who can cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo are all geniuses.

The bead of Dugu Bo already has the prototype of a "soul core".

In the original novel, if Tang San had not interfered, perhaps Dugu Bo would have continued his research and really created a groundbreaking cultivation method.

"Senior Dugu is truly a rare talent. I admire him." Lu Feng said solemnly.

"Hahaha, kid, you could have said a little more flattering." Dugu Bo puffed out his chest proudly, unable to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This old guy is really not serious." Lu Feng looked at Dugu Bo's crooked mouth and complained inwardly.

"Senior, let's discuss the detoxification of Miss Dugu. We still need to carefully plan the toxins in your body, but Miss Dugu's poisoning is still mild, I am at least 98% sure!"

The poison in Dugu Bo's body is actually easy to solve. In the eyes of Binghuo Liangyin, there are several magical herbs that can save his life.

Taking the two magical herbs, Fiery Apricot and Star Anise Ice Grass, at the same time, and then drinking the ice and fire spring water, although Dugu Bo's poison power will be eliminated, it is still better than being poisoned to death.

The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, an earth attribute immortal product, contains a trace of earth dragon power. Although it is not compatible with Dugu Bo's attributes, that trace of earth dragon bloodline is enough to take his martial soul to a higher level.

However, the price he paid was the loss of his poisonous skills.

But in Lu Feng's opinion, since Dugu Bo has already condensed the poison pill, the road to the soul core is halfway completed. It would be a pity to give up at this point.

Sometimes, when you encounter a problem, you don’t have to solve it, you can also make use of it.

If Dugu Bo uses the poison pill as a basis to condense the soul core, it will undoubtedly be a great way for him.

In the second part of Douluo, the soul core of the soul master is immersed in the dantian. It needs to absorb soul power from the outside world and store it for the soul master to use, so as to improve combat effectiveness and recovery ability.

Dugu Bo's 'Poison Soul Core' has more advantages than them. He can accumulate power through his own toxins, and maybe he can even take poisonous herbs to enhance his own strength.

"Since you are sure about Yanyan's poison, then help her detoxify first." Dugu Bo nodded and said in agreement.

"Let's go out first. It will be bad if Yanyan finds these things."

In another cave.

Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I'll go get Yanyan. There is food and fresh water in the cave. You can stay here for the next two days."

At this time, Dugu Bo rolled his eyes and said jokingly: "Boy, although I don't know what your detoxification method is specifically for. But if you can convince Yanyan, it's not a bad idea for you to nourish her meridians."

"Ahem." Lu Feng's face turned slightly red and he coughed lightly. He had just come up with this method on a whim.

God bless you!

Mr. Lu is only a nine-year-old child now.

"Senior Dugu, please go. I have lived alone since I was young, so cooking and washing clothes are naturally no problem for me." Lu Feng said lightly.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Oh, you are an orphan? That's great!"

Lu Feng's face suddenly turned dark. He waved his hand with some disgust and asked Dugu Bo to leave quickly.

Watching Dugu Bo's receding figure, Lu Feng shook his head helplessly. After spending half a day with Dugu Bo, he found that this old guy was a pervert.

Just based on his mouth, if he didn't have the strength of a Titled Douluo, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

"No wonder he is called 'old monster'." Lu Feng cursed inwardly as he made his bed.

But when he turned around, he suddenly found that Dugu Bo had returned at some point.

"Boy, I have to be away for two or three days, so don't steal my herbs." Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

"Well, don't worry, senior. My name is Tang Si, and I'm an upright person!" Lu Feng said with a smile.

"Humph, then swear." Dugu Bo folded his arms and said jokingly.

Dugu Bo actually didn't care whether Tang Si took the herbs or not. As he said, if it could save his granddaughter's life, he would even give the entire medicine garden to Tang Si.

But he just wanted to see this kid make a fool of himself.

The feeling of looking at a mountain of treasures but not being able to get them is like a cat's claw in the heart. Last time, he invited the palace's chief supervisor to visit a brothel, and he thought that the other party felt the same way.

Hey!
"Okay, okay, I swear. Whoever eats your crappy herbal medicine is a puppy, okay!" Lu Feng raised his right hand and said righteously.

"Okay!" Dugu Bo said excitedly.

When Tang Si saw the medicine garden for the first time just now, his excited expression was definitely not fake.

He just didn't believe that this kid could really endure it.

Dugu Bo had already made plans. He would spend a few more days in Tiandou City. After returning, he would mock Tang Si harshly.

Dugu Bo's figure disappeared into the horizon and never came back this time.

"Hmph, he is indeed a naughty old boy." Lu Feng shook his head and said helplessly.

Lu Feng also saw through Dugu Bo's thoughts. Maybe he would deliberately delay in Tiandou City for a few days just to laugh at himself.

"I can keep the immortal grass and drop its fragments, but I can't let go of the two most special ones. The most precious thing in this Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is the Ice and Fire Dragon King buried in the abyss."

"If you don't take these two magical herbs, Fiery Apricot and Star Anise Ice Grass, how can you enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire?"

"Want to see me make fun of you?"

"Humph, luckily I'm better than you!"

Then, Lu Feng waved his right hand, and a light yellow figure appeared at his feet.

"Come out, Luo Wupao!"
