Chapter 30 The Second Step in Detoxification

Half a month later, Dugu Bo completed the major project of forcing the poison into his soul bone. Due to the completion of the detoxification, his soul power, which was at the late stage of level 92, reached the peak of level 92. It would take him a few days to a few months to break through to level 93.
Dugu Bo's once lush green hair has turned gray again, and the wrinkles on his face have also decreased significantly. He looks twenty years younger than his previous appearance of being in his seventies.
"Hahaha, thank you so much, Luo Chen. You saved my life and my grandson's life. From now on, I will be your support. You don't need to worry about anyone harming you."
Dugu Bo said generously that not only had the hidden danger been eliminated, but his soul power had also increased, and his granddaughter would no longer have any problems. How could he not be happy?
"No, Grandpa, it's not over yet. This is just a temporary solution, it only prolongs the time it takes for the poison to take effect. Even if you die of old age, your descendants will not be as lucky as you."
Li Luochen interrupted Dugu Bo.
"What do you mean, kid?"
Dugu Bo looked puzzled. He felt that he would not be poisoned again, and that the two soul bones were enough for him to contain the poison. Why was it still not working?
Dugu Yan also looked at Li Luochen, and she believed his words.
"The toxins inherited by your family are actually a defect in the Jade Phosphorus Serpent's martial soul. If the Jade Phosphorus Serpent is completely changed, or more accurately, its martial soul is evolved, the hidden danger should be eradicated."
Li Luochen shared his thoughts. "To cure it completely, we need to use the rare medicinal herbs here, but we don't recognize them. I only recognize a few types and don't know how to take them, so we need Grandpa Dugu to find the Record of Immortal Herbs."
"I see," Dugu Bo replied, pondering for a moment. "Indeed, I can sense how potent the herbs here are. I once ate one that almost killed me. Luo Chen, where do you think we can obtain something like the Immortal Herb Record?"
"Grandpa Dugu, Yanzi, come with me first." Li Luochen led Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to a strange fairy herb.
This is a large, pale pink flower with no leaves. The stem is three feet long, and the flower is extremely large, with a diameter of about one foot. Each petal looks as clear and translucent as crystal, and the stamens are pale purple, like purple diamonds set there.
"This is a fragrant and exquisite herb, a nemesis of all poisons. It has the effect of neutralizing all toxins. It cannot detoxify itself, but it can counteract poisons. Most importantly, its pollen can catalyze the effects of medicines, making it more valuable than life itself to alchemy families."
Grandpa, take this flower with you to the Star Luo Empire to find the Broken Clan. Trade this flower with them to obtain the Immortal Herb Record and their alchemy heritage, among other things.
It all depends on how Grandpa handles it. They don't have any titled Douluo, and the clan leader Yang Wudi is probably only close to a Soul Douluo. The bottom line is that they can exchange everything except their most closely guarded secrets.
I believe that faced with the Fragrant and Exquisite Immortal Item and with you, a Title Douluo, present, their clan leader should know how to make the right choice.
Li Luochen's suggestion made Dugu Bo ecstatic. Sure enough, this kid knew how to obtain the Immortal Herb Record. Next, it would be a matter of giving him a reward and a reward, just like I knew how to do it.
"Alright, I'll take you away from here first and back to my residence in Tiandou City. Just wait for my news."
Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye with Li Luochen and Dugu Yan. They had lived there for almost a month, and the many immortal herbs in front of them made him very envious. He thought it best to leave as soon as possible, out of sight, out of mind.
Not long after, the three arrived at the Dugu residence, Dugu Bo's mansion in Tiandou City.
"Yanyan, you and Luo Chen can stay at home. Grandpa is going to the Star Luo Empire."
Dugu Bo bid farewell to his granddaughter and headed for the Star Luo Empire. The journey there and back would take at least a month, but given Dugu Bo's speed, he should arrive quickly; the exact time was unknown. Afterwards, only three people remained at Dugu Bo's residence: Dugu Yan, Li Luochen, and the Dugu family's steward, Steward Wang. Steward Wang was a childhood friend of Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Xin; most importantly, Dugu Xin had saved his life, which was why he had come to the Dugu family to serve as steward.
Don't let his position as a butler fool you; he's quite powerful, possessing the strength of a Soul Emperor with the best Soul Ring configuration. He's definitely not forty years old yet, and what he usually shows is just the tip of the iceberg.
"Yanzi, I'm going to see my dean. I haven't seen him for a month, and he's probably very worried about me."
Li Luochen said to Dugu Yan that, after all, Flander and Shrek's teachers were Li Luochen's relatives in this world besides his grandfather Li Yusong, and now there might be two more.
He thought that after Dugu Bo retrieved the Immortal Herb Record, he could strengthen Shrek Academy. His grandfather and Uncle Lu Qibin were getting old and probably wouldn't take the immortal herbs, so he should get more herbs that could prolong life and clear the meridians.
In Shrek Academy, Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Shao Xin are considered relatively young in the Soul Master world, as none of them are yet fifty years old and their cultivation levels are all at the Soul Saint level. Shao Xin is slightly less advanced, but he is a food-type Soul Master and the youngest.
Moreover, Flander is already level 78 and will soon reach the Contra level. We need to find a suitable herb to help him break through quickly.
Li Luochen embarked on his journey back to Lanba Academy, accompanied by Dugu Yan, who insisted on going with him no matter what.
Blue Tyrant Academy
A month later, Li Luochen returned to this place. It's quite surreal. He just wanted to avoid being a third wheel, but he ended up meeting a beautiful woman. Although the process was tortuous, the ending was not bad. At least his strength has greatly increased and he has a titled Douluo protecting him.
The academy's gatekeeper recognized Li Luochen and knew of his heroic deeds in beating up the Poison Douluo's granddaughter, making him quite famous in the academy. He let him through soon after.
Upon entering Blue Tyrant Academy, Li Luochen led Dugu Yan to the small wooden house where Liu Erlong was. 'I wonder how the Dean and Uncle-Master Erlong are doing? Have they made any further progress? Wait, why do I have this feeling of the emperor not being worried, but the eunuch being anxious?'
Li Luochen rested his chin on his left hand, deep in thought. Could it be that he really had to drug him? Wouldn't that be too unethical? But there was a certain satisfaction in making Yu Xiaogang green with envy.
Hehehe
"Chen, why are you grinning like that? Did you think of something happy?" Dugu Yan asked, looking at Li Luochen's mouth which was almost stretched to his ears.
"Ahem, it's nothing serious. Come with me, Yanzi, to see my dean."
Li Luochen quickly composed himself and pulled Dugu Yan's hand, walking towards the wooden house.
Arriving at the wooden house,
"Dean, Uncle-Master Erlong, I'm back!"
Li Luochen stood outside the wooden house and shouted into it. He dared not go in directly, for fear of disturbing their good time.
About two minutes later, Flander came out, looking at Li Luochen with a big smile.
"I was sleeping and getting dressed took a while. Xiao Chen, you're back! Let the director take a good look at you and see if you've eaten well!"
"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious, isn't it? Something feels off, definitely off. The dean's buttons seem to be buttoned up wrong. And why does he smell so strongly of perfume?"
Li Luochen looked at Flander and felt that something was off.
