Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Just Pick Whatever You Want!
Sure enough, in the next second, Dugu Bo brought up this matter.
"Little friend Muyang, do you have any plans for your soul skills?"
Suppressing his emotions, Dugu Bo asked.
"Senior, I'll need your guidance for that."
After hesitating for a moment, Muyang replied.
Soul power food capable of removing abnormal statuses was definitely something Muyang planned to have, and he had already planned it as his third soul skill.
Don't underestimate this kind of soul power food. While it might not always show its effectiveness, when the need arises, it could very well save lives.
Abnormal statuses aren't limited to just poisoning. Conditions like illness, curses, or invasive foreign energies are also types of abnormal statuses.
What is invasive foreign energy?
Take Bibi Dong's sixth soul skill, Eternal Wound, from her Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor as an example. It is undoubtedly a very powerful soul skill.
This skill ignores physical defense, reduces energy defense by 50%, and once it hits, the wounds will spread endlessly. The only way to resist is through soul power until the soul power is completely drained, leading to death by exhaustion.
At first glance, this soul skill seems terrifying, but if you have a soul skill capable of removing abnormal statuses, then this skill wouldn't be that significant anymore. At most, it's just a powerful attack skill that bypasses armor.
Because the wound caused by Eternal Wound is a manifestation of invasive foreign energy.
Of course, while Muyang did have this plan, he wasn't about to reveal it voluntarily.
As the saying goes, "Things that come too easily are often not cherished." He and Dugu Bo were neither relatives nor close friends; there was no need to be overly eager to help.
Dugu Bo had something he needed, and Muyang would agree to it. When Dugu Bo eventually asked about their purpose, he could take the opportunity to request some "rare flowers and herbs." The matter of immortal herbs would naturally follow.
Muyang believed Dugu Bo would understand these social nuances.
"I see that you are now a Rank 20 Grand Soul Master. I wonder, what are the effects of the soul power food produced by your first and second soul skills?"
Dugu Bo asked.
"Senior, my first soul skill restores soul power and mental strength. My second soul skill heals injuries and restores physical strength."
Muyang answered honestly.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo leaned forward slightly, stretching his neck. "Then have you ever considered a detoxification soul skill?"
"A detoxification soul skill? Does Senior need something from me?"
"Heh~, playing dumb with me, are you? Fine, let me make this clear. If you can create soul power food with detoxification effects in the future, feel free to come to me whenever you need anything."
Dugu Bo scolded with a laugh, then patted his chest as a promise.
The reason he said "feel free to come" instead of limiting it to a specific number of favors was because Dugu Bo knew that the snake venom backlash problem he and his granddaughter Dugu Yan suffered from could only be temporarily alleviated but not cured completely—unless they stopped using their martial souls forever.
But as soul masters, how could they possibly stop using their martial souls?
Once they activated their martial souls, even if the previously accumulated toxins in their bodies had been removed, they would become poisoned again. At that time, they would still need to find Muyang.
For this reason, Dugu Bo offered the promise of "feel free to come."
"Then I'll go along with Senior's offer!"
Muyang agreed without hesitation.
"Aren't you curious about why I need this?"
Dugu Bo asked.
"I'm a little curious, but it doesn't concern me. As long as Senior asks, I will provide it."
Muyang already knew about Dugu Bo's problem, so naturally, he wouldn't ask out of curiosity. Moreover, pointing out someone's pain wasn't appropriate. As long as he knew, there was no need to pry further.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows but didn't continue on the topic. Instead, he asked again, "Boy, are you interested in joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Muyang: "..."
Why did everyone want him to switch academies? First, Shui Yanyu invited him to Sky Water Academy, and now Dugu Bo wanted him to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Shui Yanyu wanted to become his aunt, but Dugu Bo—uh~—could it be that Dugu Bo wanted to become his grandfather?
To be honest, this wasn't impossible.
As the saying goes, "If you want something done, do it yourself." Snake venom backlash could only be alleviated temporarily, not cured permanently. If Muyang were an outsider, detoxification would always be troublesome.
After all, most soul power food had time limits and couldn't be stored forever. Muyang couldn't always come when called.
But if he were one of their own, things would be far more convenient. Moreover, based on talent alone, innate full soul power would meet the requirements of any parent looking for a son-in-law.
"Senior, Blazing Academy is quite good. I have no intention of changing academies."
Muyang politely refused Dugu Bo's suggestion.
"What a pity~"
Seeing this, Dugu Bo secretly shook his head in regret.
Suddenly, Dugu Bo remembered that Muyang and Huo Lie had come to visit him today on their own accord.
This meant that not only did he have something to ask of Muyang, but Huo Lie and Muyang also had something to ask of him. Dugu Bo quickly turned to Huo Lie and asked, "Brother Huo, is there something troubling you? Feel free to speak!"
"It's like this: they say that medicine and poison go hand in hand. Your Excellency's mastery of poison is unmatched. I'm sure you've come across rare flowers and herbs. I wanted to ask if you know of any way to obtain such rare plants."
Huo Lie said the prepared response he had brought with him.
As for immortal herbs, they couldn't be mentioned outright. Those things were too precious, and they couldn't afford them. They could only try their luck indirectly.
"Rare flowers and herbs?"
Dugu Bo's expression immediately turned strange.
Perhaps he lacked other things, but when it came to rare flowers and herbs, Dugu Bo was confident that if he claimed to be second, no one would dare claim to be first.
"Brother Huo, you've come to the right person! To be honest, I have a medicine garden in the Sunset Forest filled with countless rare flowers and herbs.
After lunch, I'll take you there. At that time, feel free to pick whatever catches your eye!"
Dugu Bo said generously.
After all, he was a man of status, and he didn't think Huo Lie would go overboard and strip his medicine garden bare.
As long as they didn't do that, he could accept it. He had plenty of these things anyway, and giving some to Huo Lie was no big deal.
As for why Huo Lie was searching for rare flowers and herbs? That had nothing to do with Dugu Bo.
Muyang and Huo Lie didn't ask him why he needed detoxifying soul power food, so Dugu Bo wouldn't ask Huo Lie what he wanted the rare plants for. It was personal, and he was long past the age of curiosity. The only choice was to give or not to give.
Hearing this, Huo Lie was overjoyed in his heart but didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "In that case, many thanks to Your Excellency."
"Haha~, no need to be so polite with me!"
Dugu Bo waved his hand nonchalantly.
Muyang: The immortal herbs are about to be mine... Wuhu, we're taking off!
