Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 89: Meeting Dugu Bo and Obtaining the Immortal Herb

"Huh? No...it's nothing."

Qian Renxue put the book back in its place and responded to Jiang Nian with a smile.

She gently patted her cheeks, calming her breathing slightly.

Soon, the two sat side by side.

She leaned on the table, looking at Jiang Nian beside her, wondering if this guy could keep reading no matter where he went.

Those things are so boring...
Little did he know, he was currently wondering if there was a perfect method for alchemy on the mainland.

Some medicinal herbs, if refined into elixirs, are far better than simply consuming them.

The lake, as large as the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, is surrounded by abundant magical herbs.

Even the flowers and plants you encounter while walking around can have amazing effects.

He was confident he could refine ordinary herbs.

After all, I wouldn't feel bad even if I ruined my training.

But the fairy herb is different; she will actually get up suddenly in the middle of the night and slap her thigh hard.

The library was very quiet. Qian Renxue watched Jiang Nian flipping through the pages of a book, while he looked at the book in his hands.

I don't know how much time passed, but then I heard a clicking sound.

Dugu Yan, with her green hair, pulled out the chairs in front of the two of them and sat down.

After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively asked, "Are you the current Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"

Jiang Nian stopped turning the pages of the book and nodded.

“That’s right, Miss Dugu, I did come here this time to discuss some things with your grandfather.”

"I wonder where he is now?"

Dugu Yan sized up the two people in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then stood up: "Come with me. My grandfather is currently in seclusion at a manor outside the city..."

"By the way, could you take off your mask again so I can see you?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately straightened up and her expression turned unfriendly.

"Don't misunderstand, I just want to confirm your identity." Dugu Yan pouted, thinking to herself that she wasn't the kind of person who was infatuated with men.

Jiang Nian took off her mask, glanced at it twice, and found it perfectly matched the portrait in her memory.

really···
I've heard that this Holy Prince is now a Soul King.

She's only a few years older than me!

That's absolutely terrifying...
"Please lead the way, Miss Dugu."

"Ah."

Soon, the three of them walked out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy together.

After randomly hailing a carriage, they began heading out of the city.

Soon, the jolts disappeared.

Dugu Yan jumped off the carriage first, followed by Jiang Nian and Qian Renxue.

"This is it. I'm going to check if Grandpa is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl ran inside and called out loudly, "Grandpa! Grandpa, are you home?"

A few seconds later.

An elderly man emerged from the room, his smile kind and gentle.

"Yan'er, what brings you to visit your grandfather lately?"

Dugu Yan jogged over and took his arm: "I've always wanted to... but Grandpa, a distinguished guest is coming to see you."

Dugu Bo's gaze fell on Jiang Nian and Qian Renxue, and his brows furrowed.

How did these two manage to convince their beloved granddaughter?
Jiang Nian stepped forward and clasped his hands slightly: "Greetings, Senior Dugu. My name is Jiang Nian."

With that, he tossed out the token in his hand.

Dugu Bo caught it and looked down at it.

"A papal decree?! You're from the Spirit Hall?"

"And then there's Jiang Nian... that name..."

Poison Douluo's pupils contracted slightly as he instantly realized the identity of the person in front of him.

Meow!

Why would the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall come all this way to him? This matter is definitely not that simple...

"Ahem... So it's His Highness the Holy Son, my apologies for my rudeness."

Jiang Nian hummed in agreement and reached out to take the papal decree from his hand.

They are becoming increasingly adept at using space.

Dugu Bo was secretly startled, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

"Senior Poison Douluo, I won't waste any more words. I've come here to make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal? If it's about joining the Spirit Hall, then please return, Your Highness. I'm used to freedom and don't want to be bound by worldly constraints."

Jiang Nian smiled lightly: "Of course not... However, if Senior Poison Douluo is willing to join the Spirit Hall, I would be very happy to do so."

"I came here today to tell you..."

"You are sick."

······
The manor was quiet for a few seconds before Qian Renxue couldn't help but tug at Jiang Nian's arm.

Dugu Yan stared blankly at her grandfather.

So brave?
Should she plead for mercy later?

Dugu Bo stared blankly into Jiang Nian's eyes, neither pleased nor saddened, and continued to listen to him.

“I know that Senior Dugu was poisoned, and so was your granddaughter.”

"If this isn't dealt with promptly, both of you will be in danger."

"Even... Miss Dugu Yan will die faster than you."

At this point, Dugu Bo could no longer contain his murderous aura and released it, but he withdrew it after only two seconds.

He can't touch this guy...

Who knows if there might be eight hundred axemen hiding in the shadows?

If the Holy Son went out without a title protecting him, I would never believe it!
"Hmph! Why should I believe you?"

Jiang Nian calmly began to speak.

"Whenever it rains, Senior Dugu experiences a tingling and itchy sensation in his ribs, which gradually intensifies. It occurs once at noon and once at midnight. Given your current condition, each episode should last for more than an hour."

“Every night, around midnight, you will experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet, along with spasms throughout your body, lasting for at least half an hour.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was completely convinced.

This kid knows his body's condition even better than he does!

Because of the inheritance of martial spirit, his son died young.

Now, his only beloved granddaughter is also suffering from the effects of the deadly poison.

Perhaps in the future, I will have to experience the pain of outliving my child.

"Senior Dugu, am I correct?"

Jiang Nian calmly played with the papal decree in his hand, staring intently into his eyes.

"Kid, it seems you really do know about the poison we, grandfather and grandson, use."

"But how can you, a Soul King, deal with a poison that even I find extremely difficult to handle?"

Dugu Bo asked in confusion.

“Senior Dugu, your explanation is much simpler.” Jiang Nian snapped his fingers and began to explain the method of making poison pills to him.

When old, toxic substances accumulate too many toxins, it becomes difficult to eliminate them from the body.

The method of using poison pills was undoubtedly the most suitable for him.

Once you've mastered it, you can use it against enemies in the future, which is incredibly convenient.

five minutes later.

A hint of surprise flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He hadn't expected that Jiang Nian, at such a young age, would be able to comprehend such a miraculous method.

It gathers all the toxins from the body's meridians into a poison pill...
It seems like it could work.

"What should I do about the toxins in my granddaughter's body?"

"It's very simple. I need the magical herbs from Sunset Forest to help me. Without them, I can't cure Miss Dugu."

"By the way, my condition is that you accidentally obtain the herb garden. I wonder if Senior Dugu has any questions about this condition?"
