Chapter 29 Searching for Sunset Forest
Hearing this, Yang Wudi was a little surprised: "Podi, why did you think of looking for medicinal herbs in Sunset Forest? It's true that there are many medicinal herbs in Sunset Forest, and even some rare ones. However, Sunset Forest is too dangerous. The amount of medicinal herbs you find is disproportionate to the level of danger. Besides, it's really a waste of my talents to gather herbs as a peak Soul Saint."
"Grandpa, let's just look around. Let's treat it as training in Sunset Forest, seeing more spirit beasts, and preparing for my next spirit ring acquisition."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi couldn't help but laugh: "Podi, you've only just obtained your first spirit ring. The second spirit ring won't come so quickly."
In the end, Yang Wudi agreed to his grandson's request, and the two spent a few days wandering around Sunset Forest.
In the past few days, I have encountered quite a few soul beasts, all kinds of types, including plant soul beasts, animal soul beasts, and even a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts. In particular, I encountered a ten-thousand-year-old Netherworld Leopard, which was extremely fast, appearing and disappearing without a trace. It was arguably the fastest among speed-type soul beasts. Fortunately, Yang Wudi intimidated it away. If an ordinary Soul Emperor had encountered it, it would probably have been in danger.
The two even found many precious medicinal herbs, the best of which was a thousand-year-old Smilax glabra, worth tens of thousands of gold soul coins.
But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the location of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire from the original story. Yang Wudi also refused to take his grandson to the inner circle, since his grandson was only six years old and the core area was far too dangerous.
With a sense of regret, Yang Podi and the other person left Sunset Forest.
On the carriage, Yang Podi couldn't help but ask his grandfather, "Grandpa, does our Heaven Dou Empire have any powerful Poison Soul Masters?"
Yang Wudi asked curiously, "Po Di, why are you suddenly asking about the Poison Soul Master?"
"Grandpa, doesn't our Po clan refine medicine and also poisons? Are there any poisons more potent than ours?"
"When it comes to using poison, the most famous one in Douluo Continent should be Dugu Bo. His martial soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and he also lives in Heaven Dou City."
Upon hearing the news about Dugu Bo, Yang Podi immediately became interested: "Grandpa, is this Dugu Bo very powerful? How does his poison compare to the poison of our Po clan?"
"Our Poison Clan's poison and Dugu Bo's poison each have their own merits. Dugu Bo's poison all comes from his martial soul. I met him once a year ago. He should have been a high-level Soul Douluo at that time. However, his poison can't do anything to your grandfather. Moreover, although he is good in group battles, he is relatively weak in one-on-one combat. In terms of strength, he should not be my match."
"Grandpa, there seem to be relatively few poison soul masters on Douluo Continent. Why is that? Logically speaking, poison should be very lethal."
"Po Di, let me teach you another principle. While poison is very effective and extremely lethal, it has a major drawback: if a Soul Master uses poison for a long time, they will also become poisoned themselves. Especially after prolonged exposure, the toxins will seep into their bloodstream, eventually slowing down the rate at which their Soul Power increases. This is one of the reasons why my Po clan's Soul Power can no longer be increased."
"However, alchemy is one of the foundations of our Po clan. As the clan leader, one must be even more proficient in alchemy. This is also the greatest regret of our Po clan."
"Grandpa, is there a way to refine medicine without poisoning yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi fell into deep thought, and only spoke after a long time: "Of course there is a way, as long as we find the legendary immortal herb, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb."
"Grandpa, what is this 'Fragrant and Exquisite Immortal Item'?"
"The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb is the bane of all poisons, capable of neutralizing all toxins. It cannot detoxify itself, but it can counteract poisons. Yet, our Po Clan has spent countless generations without finding it."
"Grandpa, what does that Fragrant Silk Immortal Item look like? And what exactly is an Immortal Item?"
"Immortal herbs are the ultimate medicinal herbs. These herbs have grown for tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand years and have been able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Ordinary soul masters can greatly increase their soul power by absorbing them, and some can even evolve their martial soul. Each one is priceless."
"The Fragrant Fairy Flower is a large, pale pink flower with no leaves. Its stem is three feet long, and the flower itself is enormous, 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. As long as one stands around the Fragrant Fairy Flower, one will be immune to all poisons."
"Po Di, now that you have become a Soul Master, it is time for you to receive the true inheritance of our Po Clan. After we return this time, I will teach you the alchemy knowledge inherited by the Po Clan, which is the true foundation of our Po Clan."
Hearing this, Yang Podi was very excited, but also a little hesitant. Finally, he asked, "Grandpa, can I just learn the knowledge of alchemy and not try to make medicine myself?"
Yang Wudi glanced at his grandson: "Podi, why do you have such thoughts? You should know that you will become stronger after you learn how to refine medicine."
"Grandpa, I do want to become stronger, but I want to become an even more powerful Soul Master."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi fell silent. It seemed that all members of the Po Clan faced this dilemma. However, after all of them came into contact with the Dao of Alchemy, they all became obsessed with it. Otherwise, the Po Clan would not have gone through countless generations without producing a single Title Douluo. Although the Soul-Breaking Spear is also known as a top-tier weapon spirit, in terms of reputation, it is still significantly inferior to the Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer.
This is also one of the greatest tragedies of the Broken Clan.
"Break the enemy, then you should learn about alchemy first. Whether you want to learn alchemy or not, we'll talk about it later."
Yang Wudi once aspired to become a top-tier Soul Master, but due to his obsession with alchemy, he neglected his Soul Power cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be a peak Soul Saint, with his Soul Power level at the bottom among the patriarchs of the four single-attribute families, even lower than Bai He of the Min Clan. The other three are already Soul Douluo.
Thinking of this, Yang Wudi couldn't help but sigh. The Po Clan's rise and fall might also be due to alchemy.
After more than an hour, the carriage finally returned to Qingyuan Mountain, the home of the Po clan.
As soon as he got home, his mother, Niu Jinfeng, started looking him over from head to toe, as if she was worried that something was wrong with her son's health, leaving Yang Podi speechless.
"Mom, there's really nothing wrong with my health."
"Son, how could I not worry about you being away for so long? Besides, you absorbed a 600-year-old spirit ring, which is very dangerous."
After carefully examining her son's body, Niu Jinfeng was relieved to find that there were no problems.
"Son, don't do such dangerous things anymore. Although our Po clan isn't a big family, we still have some strength. We don't need you to risk your life like this."
"Mom, don't worry, I will only do things that I am confident about from now on."
After talking with his mother, Yang Podi returned to his room, while his mother went to take care of his younger sister, Yang Tianyue.
