Douluo Dalu: I have a Soul Beast Clone

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Li Chang'an was leading Dugu Bo around, introducing him to the various immortal herbs he recognized.

"Grandfather, this herb is called Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. It must be stored in a jade container to remain fresh for a millennium without wilting. According to ancient texts, it has a gentle yet potent medicinal property. It is easy to absorb but takes a long time to digest. Its function is to strengthen the foundation, expel impurities from the body, enhance the practitioner's innate talent, and increase cultivation speed. It is a universal immortal herb suitable for any soul master!" Li Chang'an explained, pointing to a flower with eight petals.

"If its effects are true, it would be perfect for Yan'er," Dugu Bo remarked while stroking his beard in approval. Although his granddaughter's cultivation speed wasn't slow compared to her peers, it lagged behind the continent's top talents. This herb could help her close that gap.

"This one is called Fragrant Silk Beauty Immortal. Within its range, no poison can take effect. Its fragrance neutralizes toxins, making it the ultimate antidote to all poisons," Li Chang'an said, pointing at a large flower emitting a soft pink glow.

"Neutralizes all toxins?" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.

Li Chang'an elaborated, "Although Fragrant Silk Beauty Immortal is a bane to poisons and can neutralize all toxins within its fragrant range, it cannot detoxify existing poison. Its effects are limited to its protective field. If someone is poisoned before entering the fragrant zone, this herb will have no effect. Essentially, it is the best defensive herb against toxins but cannot cure them."

"Such a pity that it can only defend against poison and not cure it…" Dugu Bo sighed. For their clan, whose venom came from their innate martial soul, this herb's utility remained uncertain.

Li Chang'an continued, pointing to another herb, "This one is called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It embodies extreme yang and strength and is a dream herb for fire-element soul masters. Consuming it can greatly purify one's soul power and enhance the power of fire-based abilities. If the martial soul happens to be avian in nature, this herb might even trigger a beneficial evolution!"

"What a treasure!" Dugu Bo exclaimed before shaking his head. "Unfortunately, its effects are yang-based, which clashes with the characteristics of our Jade Phosphor Serpent. Using it rashly might cause adverse effects."

Li Chang'an continued explaining the effects of each herb.

"This one is called Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass…"

"This one is Infernal Delicate Apricot…"

"This one is Lovesick Heartbroken Red…"

"This one is Fiery Apricot Tender Veil…"

After a thorough exploration and detailing the known effects and usage methods of the herbs, the three of them returned to the cave and settled in the usual spot for tea and relaxation.

Dugu Bo carefully recorded all the herb information Li Chang'an provided into a thin notebook. As he stared at the booklet, he couldn't help but sigh, "If everything recorded here is true, the value of this knowledge is incalculable! It could be considered a priceless heirloom."

Even though the book described only a limited number of herbs, each one, when consumed appropriately, could produce results that matched a Titled Douluo. The sheer value of this knowledge was beyond imagination.

Without understanding the effects or proper methods of consuming these herbs, Dugu Bo wouldn't dare try any of them, no matter how precious they appeared. It would be like guarding a mountain of treasure in vain.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was growing increasingly fond of Li Chang'an. The sincerity shown by this prospective grandson-in-law was warming his heart. The knowledge contained in this notebook was undoubtedly a treasure. Yet, Li Chang'an had shared it openly without hesitation.

If Li Chang'an had harbored any greed, he could have easily kept the value of these herbs a secret and found an excuse to take them all. Even if Dugu Bo later discovered the truth, he wouldn't have pursued the matter too harshly, as he wouldn't have known their true worth at the time.

Instead, Li Chang'an chose to disclose everything. This act of honesty completely won Dugu Bo over, solidifying Li Chang'an's place in his heart as family.

Next, the three of them needed to verify whether these herbs truly had the effects described in the ancient texts. Without firsthand experience, no one could confirm the authenticity of the records.

To this, Li Chang'an volunteered to test one of the herbs himself. If the herb's effects matched the descriptions, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan could then consume them with confidence.

"No, that's too dangerous," Dugu Yan protested against his "trial" approach, as it seemed too risky. The purported effects of these herbs were far too extraordinary to be easily trusted.

Moreover, if these herbs were as potent as claimed, why hadn't any legends about them been passed down?

Thus, Dugu Yan remained skeptical about the herbs' authenticity.
