Chapter 55 Plotting the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well
Seeing that Dugu Yan could barely stand, Tang Chuan gently helped her to sit down on a chair nearby.
Then, he glanced down at Dugu Yan's slightly purplish lips, his eyes narrowed, and he said calmly:
"I do have a way to completely cure the poison in your body."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's pale face suddenly changed, her eyes instantly brightening. She abruptly raised her head, grabbed Tang Chuan's wrist tightly, and said with slight excitement:
"What did you say? You have a way to cure the poison in my body?"
Tang Chuan glanced subconsciously at his wrist, which was red from Dugu Yan's grip, raised an eyebrow slightly, and instead of pulling away, calmly nodded and said:
"The toxins in your body are congenital, not from your martial soul, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, but from your soul ring. They have become integrated with your meridians, blood, and even bone marrow. Completely removing them will not be something that can be done overnight."
"What did you say? The poison in my body... comes from the soul ring? What do you mean by that?" Dugu Yan was stunned, staring blankly at Tang Chuan, and asked in confusion.
Tang Chuan closed the book in his hands, looked at her calmly, and said seriously:
"Don't you find it strange? There are hundreds, even thousands, of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent who use poison, but why is it that only your Dugu family lineage is affected by its own poison?"
At this point, Tang Chuan paused slightly before continuing:
"The Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, also possessed an extremely poisonous spirit, far more potent than your Jade Phosphorous Serpent, yet she remained unharmed."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan opened her mouth slightly, as if to say something, but Tang Chuan's next words cut her off completely: "Although the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, a soul beast, cannot be considered top-tier in the Star Dou Great Forest, it still holds a certain status. Have you ever seen an Azure Phosphorous Serpent soul beast die from its own poison? Their poison is always used against enemies, not to harm themselves. This instinctive resistance to Azure Phosphorous Serpent poison is innate."
"Therefore, the poison in your body does not come from your martial soul itself. The real source is that a certain generation of your family's soul masters had a problem during the process of fusing soul rings, or the fused soul ring was poisonous and incompatible with your own snake venom, breaking the harmonious balance that should exist between the soul master and the soul ring, causing the toxin to be passed down from generation to generation to this day."
After hearing Tang Chuan's explanation, Dugu Yan suddenly understood and said:
"So that's how it is... All along, our family thought it was due to the inheritance of our martial soul, but we never expected it to be residual poison from the soul ring. But can this poison really be cured?"
"There is a way, but..." Tang Chuan pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"But what?" Dugu Yan immediately pressed, a hint of urgency in her eyes.
Tang Chuan looked helpless, shrugged, and said, "But... I don't have the means to detoxify right now."
"What are your conditions? Tell me quickly." Dugu Yan frowned slightly, but said confidently, "As long as it's not too outrageous, I can help you find a solution."
Tang Chuan glanced at Dugu Yan, then his expression suddenly turned serious. He feigned ignorance and said solemnly:
"The antidote requires several rare and precious medicinal herbs as a guide, which are then brewed into a medicinal liquid using special methods. After that, the deadly poison in the body is guided and concentrated to completely eliminate the toxins. However, such medicinal herbs are extremely rare, and it is unknown where they can be found on the mainland."
In the end, Tang Chuan deliberately showed a hint of regret in his eyes.
As expected, upon hearing this, Dugu Yan fell into deep thought. Then, she pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly said:
"If it's just about finding rare medicinal herbs... I do have a way."
"Oh?" Tang Chuan seemed a little excited, but it was all an act. He pressed on, "Do you know where on the mainland you can find rare medicinal herbs?"
"My grandfather has a medicinal herb garden deep in the Sunset Forest. I heard him say that it grows many precious medicinal herbs and rare treasures, many of which are rare and exotic. I don't really like flowers and plants, so I rarely go there."
Looking up at Tang Chuan, Dugu Yan's eyes held a hint of expectation as she said, "When we have time later, I can take you there to take a look. Perhaps we can find the medicinal herbs you need."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan was overjoyed, but his eyes remained calm, only showing a hint of surprise on his face as he said in a steady tone:
"Are you telling the truth?"
"If such a place really exists, I'd like to go and see it. But I have some things to take care of these next few days, so I'll have to postpone it for another two days. Is that alright?"
Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but she finally nodded, "Okay, let me know when you're done."
Tang Chuan nodded slightly, withdrawing his gaze from Dugu Yan, but his heart was already in turmoil.
"Finally, I can go to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. What I need now is a treasure book that can truly distinguish between celestial herbs. Otherwise, even if I am surrounded by a mountain of treasures, I can only look at them with envy."
"However, if I obtain the rare treasures in the Yin-Yang Well this time, I must ensure that my master also benefits from them, no matter what."
Thinking of this, Tang Chuan frowned slightly.
Although he was well-versed in the original text, he could only remember the names and effects of many medicinal herbs, while their specific forms were now a blur.
and so.
He now needs to find a book that records medicinal herbs as soon as possible.
When Tang Chuan thought of the books that recorded rare medicinal herbs, he was initially at a loss.
However, he quickly came up with a solution, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Yanzi, I have some things to take care of first. I'll come find you after I'm done, and then you can take me to your grandfather's herb garden, okay?"
Tang Chuan said calmly to Dugu Yan.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan nodded without giving it much thought.
…………
Half an hour later.
Tang Chuan, dressed in a blue outfit, arrived at the gate of the Crown Prince's Mansion in Tiandou City.
The towering gate was resplendent in gold and jade. The guards on both sides of the gate were clad in armor, with sharp blades at their waists. Their expressions were dignified and their aura extraordinary; it was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary soldiers.
"Who goes there? This is the restricted area of the Crown Prince's residence in Tiandou. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"
Just as Tang Chuan was about to step forward, he was immediately stopped by a guard who brandished his spear and shouted sternly.
Seeing this, Tang Chuan took a step back, his expression calm, and took out an exquisite token from his pocket. The token was entirely golden, with the character "Snow" engraved in the center and cloud and dragon patterns entwined around the edges.
Upon seeing the token, the guard's solemn expression instantly changed, a look of awe appearing in his eyes. He quickly sheathed his spear, clasped his hands, and bowed in salute.
"So it's a distinguished guest! His Highness the Crown Prince instructed that if you were coming, there was no need to announce your arrival; we would simply lead you inside."
Immediately afterwards, the guard respectfully made a gesture of invitation and led Tang Chuan through the main gate of the Crown Prince's residence.
Upon entering the mansion, a strange light appeared in Tang Chuan's eyes, and he secretly sighed, "As expected of the Crown Prince's mansion..."
The entire Crown Prince's residence was vast and magnificent, with courtyards one after another, pavilions and towers layered upon each other, arranged in an orderly and imposing manner.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a wide imperial road, several meters in diameter.
The road is paved with black stone on both sides, so shiny that it reflects people's reflections. Many rare flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the road, which bloom all year round with a delicate fragrance that wafts in the wind.
I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
