Chapter 34 Dugu Bo: Family members, do you think I've been tricked by him?
Lin Hao's appearance was extremely strange, alternating between blue and red.
What seemed like a simple alternation process was actually driving him to the brink of mental collapse.
With a splash, Lin Hao fell into the spring water with great pleasure and sank into it in an instant.
A normal voice came from behind Dugu Yan, but she didn't dare turn around and asked, "Grandpa, how is he?"
"He's still breathing."
"You mean he's about to die?"
Dugu Yan still didn't dare to turn around. The steamy scene made her heart race uncontrollably.
Dugu Bo replied, "He's not far from death. Even I don't dare stay in this spring for long. This kid really doesn't know what's good for him, he just plunged into the spring."
"What?"
Dugu Yan turned around anxiously and walked to the end of the stone slab. From there, she looked down at Lin Hao in the spring.
Lin Hao's body was still alternating between red and blue. Sometimes it was hot, sometimes it was cold.
However, Lin Hao's facial features remained calm and composed, without any distortion of his features due to pain.
The spring water is very clear.
Dugu Yan thought to herself, "It's huge!"
She noticed her grandfather, Dugu Bo, who was present, and felt embarrassed. Her gaze lingered on Lin Hao for a moment before shifting away.
Dugu Bo also noticed something was wrong.
Ordinary people dare not linger near the spring. But Lin Hao, immersed in the spring, rapidly absorbed the medicinal effects of the herbs within his body under the influence of the water.
Ten seconds passed, and Lin Hao was still alive.
Half a minute passed, and Lin Hao was still not dead.
An hour later, there was not a trace of death aura on Lin Hao's body.
Dugu Bo was shocked and couldn't help but look at Lin Hao with new respect, thinking to himself, "Perhaps this kid really can solve the problem of the toxins in my and Yanyan's bodies!"
Extraordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Lin Hao's ability to survive for up to an hour within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire meant he was no ordinary person in Dugu Bo's eyes.
A day passes quietly in the blink of an eye.
The sound of rushing water filled the air.
Dugu Yan subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound of water came, and her eyes met Lin Hao's.
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment.
Once again, she saw Lin Hao's body.
Lin Hao couldn't help but feel embarrassed. As Dugu Yan turned away, he quickly left the pool, took out clothes from his storage soul tool, and put them on. While dressing, he said, "Miss Dugu, I didn't expect you to still be here. I'm so sorry!"
Hearing Lin Hao's apology, Dugu Yan lowered her head, her ears turning bright red.
Lin Hao's words, though seemingly unrelated, made Dugu Yan feel even more embarrassed.
This time, Dugu Bo wasn't in a hurry. He asked curiously, "Little monster..."
Lin Hao noticed Dugu Bo's address and repeated, "Little monster?"
"Possessing an external soul bone and being able to soak in a spring for a whole day, aren't you a little monster?"
"Never mind, it's just a form of address. I won't hold it against you."
A smug smile played on Lin Hao's lips. He knew that Dugu Bo was beginning to be impressed by his abilities.
In the original storyline, after being impressed by Tang San, Dugu Bo also called Tang San "little monster".
Dugu Bo asked, "What exactly did you do to be able to soak in the spring water for so long?"
Lin Hao said, "It's alright to tell you. The herbs I'm taking are called Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Blossom. Although these two herbs are potent, after being neutralized, they can become treasures that the human body can absorb. Furthermore, they possess both hot and cold attributes, the same as the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. That's why I can soak in the spring water at will. The benefits of this body tempering can be described in four words: impervious to water and fire."
"Immune to water and fire?!" A sharp light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
Immediately, Dugu Yan realized that the two medicinal herbs were gone. He had intended for his granddaughter to cultivate her body in this way, but ultimately missed the opportunity.
The thought that he had possessed the treasure for decades, yet others had benefited from it, made Dugu Bo very unhappy.
"Little monster, now tell me, how do you plan to solve the problems I'm experiencing in my cultivation?"
Compared to missing out on opportunities, Dugu Bo was more concerned about his own life.
Lin Hao said, "Don't rush. According to our agreement, let me obtain fifty kinds of medicinal herbs first. Old Poison Master, you're a Title Douluo, you wouldn't be afraid I'll go back on my word later, would you?"
"Unless you don't want to live anymore," Dugu Bo replied bluntly to Lin Hao.
If Lin Hao dares to lie to him or deceive him, then he will definitely make Lin Hao wish he were dead.
Lin Hao smiled and walked into the herb garden.
"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a neutral medicinal herb, can strengthen the body and, after consumption, can form the prototype of 'Indestructible Vajra.' It is beneficial to the evolution of Blue Silver Grass, increasing its resilience. I'll take it!"
"The Acacia Heartbreak Red is a divine item that can only be harvested by watering it with one's own blood. Once it recognizes its master, its physical body is preserved. It's useless to me for now, so I'll take it!"
"Eight-petaled fairy orchid, a neutral and potent herb, can strengthen the body's foundation and nourish vital energy, I'll take it!"
"The Qiluo Tulip has a certain chance of evolving a person's Martial Soul. I'll take it!"
"Longing for the autumn dew, a soul-binding immortal herb, it greatly benefits the enhancement of spiritual power. This is the target herb for this trip, I'll take it!"
……
Lin Hao wandered through the herb garden, constantly picking the radiant medicinal herbs.
As he gathered herbs, Dugu Bo silently counted in his mind.
"One, two, three... ten... twenty... thirty..."
Among the medicinal herbs Lin Hao picked, a small portion were ones he recognized by name, but he didn't even know the medicinal effects of most of them.
After Lin Hao finished picking fifty medicinal herbs, he still left behind many high-grade medicinal herbs that were known to others.
If it weren't for saving face, Dugu Bo really wanted to ask Lin Hao what medicinal effects the herbs he had picked had.
"Little monster..." After Lin Hao returned, Dugu Bo asked again, "Now you should tell me, how do you plan to resolve the problems between me and Yan Yan?"
The matter had dragged on for a day and a night, and Dugu Bo had lost his patience.
Lin Hao said, "I can't solve this!"
"What did you say?"
Dugu Bo was instantly enraged; he felt like he had been played for a whole day and night.
Lin Hao scolded, "You're glaring at me again, Dugu Bo. Are you even an adult? You've lived most of your life, and this is all the patience you have? I can't solve your problem. The poison in your body is from your cultivation. If I asked you to dispel all the poison in your body, would you be willing?"
Dugu Bo replied without hesitation, "Of course I'm not willing."
Lin Hao said, "That's it. If you're unwilling to dissipate the poison in your body, it can't leave. Poison is harmful to the human body, and when it accumulates to a certain level, it will harm you. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless a carrier is found, the poison can be stored in a carrier, and then it can be used to unleash its power when needed."
"A vessel?" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He understood immediately and asked thoughtfully, "You mean a soul bone, right?"
