Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 59

Chapter 59: Ice-Skin Jade-Bone

From Qian Xunji’s reaction, it’s clear he values Bi Bi Dong more. Whenever he gets something good, he thinks of her first.

Gu Ziyue, however, didn’t react much. Qian Xunji always favored Bi Bi Dong, and even with Gu Ziyue’s improved talent, that’s unlikely to change.

“Yes, Teacher!”

“I have two immortal herbs, perfect for Senior Sister!”

Gu Ziyue answered with a smile, preparing to take out the herbs.

“Teacher, is Junior Brother back?”

Before Gu Ziyue could present the herbs, Bi Bi Dong entered.

“Junior Brother!”

Seeing Gu Ziyue, Bi Bi Dong exclaimed joyfully.

“Senior Sister!”

“Your Holiness!”

“Your Holiness!”

Gu Ziyue paused, putting aside the herbs. Yue Guan and Gui Mei quickly greeted Bi Bi Dong.

“Hmph!”

“You hateful fellow! You went looking for treasures and didn’t invite me!”

Bi Bi Dong’s initial joy quickly turned to anger, and she pouted at Gu Ziyue.

“So? Did you find any treasures?”

After expressing her displeasure, Bi Bi Dong inquired with concern.

“Of course! I found quite a few, and I brought back some suitable for you, Senior Sister!”

Gu Ziyue smiled; Bi Bi Dong’s arrival was perfectly timed.

嗡—— (A buzzing sound effect)

Gu Ziyue displayed a bracelet; a faint golden light flashed, and two immortal herbs appeared.

One was completely white with blood-red petals—the Snow-White Swan Kiss, famously used by Tang San in the Slaughter City to destroy it in the original story.

Bi Bi Dong’s twin Martial Souls, both the Death Spider Empress and the Soul-Devouring Spider Empress, possess potent poisonous attributes.

Bi Bi Dong’s poison is arguably the strongest in Douluo Continent; the Ten-Thousand-Year Sky Blue Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were killed (or nearly killed and beyond saving) by her poison before being sacrificed to Tang San.

This shows just how powerful Bi Bi Dong’s poison is!

The Snow-White Swan Kiss drastically increases the potency of poison, making it potentially highly beneficial to Bi Bi Dong’s Martial Soul.

Yue Guan had suggested this on their way back.

He also cautioned Gu Ziyue that immortal herbs shouldn’t be consumed excessively, especially not multiple kinds simultaneously in a short period, as their effects could interfere with each other.

Unless they complement each other, like the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs Gu Ziyue had consumed.

Therefore, Gu Ziyue wouldn’t be able to absorb another immortal herb for at least six months.

“Senior Sister, this is the Snow-White Swan Kiss…”

Gu Ziyue introduced the Snow-White Swan Kiss, explaining its potential benefits for Bi Bi Dong. He added, “However, it has a risk. It could greatly enhance your Martial Soul’s toxicity, making it uncontrollable; you might even poison yourself. So, let’s keep this herb for now.”

Gu Ziyue hadn’t forgotten that Dugu Bo’s son had been killed by his own Martial Soul’s poison, and Dugu Bo himself had nearly suffered the same fate.

While the Snow-White Swan Kiss only increases the *amount* of poison, not its *strength*, Gu Ziyue worried about a qualitative change resulting from a quantitative increase.

“Unable to control your Martial Soul’s poison?”

Everyone present was slightly stunned.

They had never heard of such a thing before.

Yue Guan, in particular, was unaware of this.

However, he trusted Gu Ziyue’s insight. If Gu Ziyue said it, there must be a reason, or he’d seen it somewhere.

Upon hearing Gu Ziyue’s words, he immediately thought of Dugu Bo, with whom he had a long-standing feud. The old man’s eyes seemed increasingly green.

Could it be due to an inability to control his poison?

If so, he’d have to thoroughly mock that old poisoner next time!

“This herb is perfect for you now. It’s called the Narcissus Jade-Skin Bone. Consuming it will strengthen your muscles and bones, improve your Qi flow through the eight extraordinary meridians, and give you an ice-skin jade-bone physique. Even if it doesn’t greatly enhance your abilities, it will definitely make you even more beautiful!”

Ignoring the others’ reactions, Gu Ziyue introduced the second immortal herb, the Narcissus Jade-Skin Bone, which significantly improves Soul Power levels.

However, it offers little benefit to the Martial Soul itself, mainly strengthening the Soul Master.

It’s suitable for almost all Soul Masters, but especially beneficial for women.

For Bi Bi Dong, whose twin Martial Souls are already top-tier, further evolution is unnecessary or minimal. Enhancing her Soul Power and physical constitution is more crucial.

“I want this one!”

“Junior Brother, give this to me!”

After Gu Ziyue’s explanation, especially upon hearing that the Narcissus Jade-Skin Bone would make her more beautiful, Bi Bi Dong’s eyes lit up. She completely ignored the Snow-White Swan Kiss and stared intently at the Narcissus Jade-Skin Bone.

She reached out to grab it!

“Here you go!”

Gu Ziyue smiled, letting Bi Bi Dong take it from him.

“Hee hee, thank you, Junior Brother!”

Bi Bi Dong, having obtained the herb, was overjoyed. “Junior Brother, how do I use it?”

“Just eat the petals, and finally suck the stamen! Use your Soul Power to absorb and refine it!”

Gu Ziyue explained. The entire herb shouldn’t be consumed.

“Okay! Then I’ll eat it…”

Bi Bi Dong immediately started to pick a petal. However, after picking one, she paused before putting it in her mouth.

“Junior Brother, have you found the treasure you needed? How is your Martial Soul now?”

Bi Bi Dong remembered she hadn’t asked about Gu Ziyue’s situation, so she stopped.

“Eat it without worry. My Martial Soul has fully awakened, and it’s now a top-tier Martial Soul!”

Gu Ziyue hadn’t expected Bi Bi Dong to pause; he smiled warmly.

He summoned his fully awakened Martial Soul.

“Wow～”

“It’s really true!”

“That’s wonderful! Junior Brother, you’re amazing!”

Seeing Gu Ziyue’s fully awakened Martial Soul, Bi Bi Dong cheered.

While happy for Gu Ziyue, she was deeply impressed that he had overcome his low innate talent. It was incredible.

“Alright, eat it quickly.”

Gu Ziyue retracted his Martial Soul.

“Okay, then I won’t be polite!”

Bi Bi Dong finally relaxed and ate a petal of the Narcissus Jade-Skin Bone.

Qian Xunji watched without interfering.

He trusted Gu Ziyue wouldn’t harm Bi Bi Dong. If Gu Ziyue gave it to her, it must be beneficial.

Moreover, with Yue Guan, who was more knowledgeable about plants, present and saying nothing, he was even less worried.
