Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 70

Chapter 70: Obtaining the Celestial Herbs

“The second release method is to truly enter a frenzied state. Strength, attack, defense, and speed are all increased by another one hundred percent. Adding the twenty percent from the passive skill, that’s a total increase of one hundred and twenty percent. Furthermore, upon entering the 狂战金身 (Mad War Golden Body) state, there will be three seconds of invincibility. The downside is that it consumes a significant amount of soul power; my soul power isn’t deep enough yet to use it consecutively. The advantage is that unlike the Blood Demon Mad Bear’s frenzy, it doesn’t cause a loss of rationality,” Nan Feihuang explained.

Actually, this technique is like a combination of Xiao Wu’s invincible golden body and Dai Mubai’s White Tiger King Kong Transformation. Xiao Wu’s invincible golden body provides three seconds of invincibility, and the strengthening effect also lasts only three seconds. Dai Mubai’s, although lasting as long as his soul power allows, lacks the invincible state.

Hearing this, Du Guobo finally felt that their efforts hadn’t been in vain.

This is what a ten-thousand-year soul ring and a top-tier martial soul should be capable of!

One hundred and twenty percent – that’s no small increase. The additional twenty percent is a passive skill that doesn’t consume any soul power.

He had witnessed the White Tiger God Transformation of the White Tiger clan from the Star Luo Empire. With a twenty-thousand-year soul ring, the enhancement was only one hundred and fifty percent, and it consumed even more soul power than Nan Feihuang’s, while lacking the invincible golden body.

This is a high-level soul skill that even Nan Feihuang could continue to use even after becoming a Title Douluo.

Actually, the source of this soul skill isn’t from Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2, but from Dynasty Warriors 7. Many of the generals in that game have golden light surrounding them, temporarily enhancing their strength.

Lü Lingqi is one such general; perhaps she could also obtain a similar ability to Nan Feihuang’s Mad War Golden Body in the future.

After successfully obtaining the soul ring, Nan Feihuang and Du Guobo returned to the Ice and Fire Eye.

They diligently cultivated while continuously detoxifying Du Guobo.

Every month, Nan Feihuang would return to the academy to see Xue Ke, Xue Qinghe, and Xun Yu.

Three months behind Nan Feihuang, Xun Yu finally broke through the thirty-level bottleneck, advancing to Soul Sage, causing a wave of astonishment throughout the academy.

These two were simply too young; a ten-year-old Soul Sage completely shattered the academy’s history.

This was the chemical reaction born from combining exceptionally high aptitude and top-tier cultivation techniques.

Nan Feihuang actually suspected that Tang San from the original story might not have truly had innate full soul power, because he cultivated for a period of time before his martial soul awakened, before he felt the bottleneck.

In other words, initially, he could feel the growth of his soul power, or inner strength.

Therefore, his actual innate level might have been around eight or nine levels; Xun Yu wouldn’t be inferior to him.

In terms of cultivation techniques, the three people brought by Nan Feihuang all remembered the divine arts they had cultivated in their past lives.

Xun Yu’s “Military Beacon Heart Method,” Dian Wei’s “Hundred Battles Heart Scripture,” “Flying Halberd Divine Skill,” “Chasing Tiger Across the Stream” body techniques, and Lü Lingqi’s “Peerless Ghost God Art” and “Ghost God Halberd Technique,” inherited from Lü Bu, etc.

While perhaps not as good as Nan Feihuang’s “Dun Jia Heavenly Book,” they certainly wouldn’t be inferior to the “Mysterious Heaven Art.”

Furthermore, due to the whale gelatin, their first soul rings were all of an exceeding level, possessing better foundations and resources than Tang San, resulting in their faster cultivation speed.

One day, Du Guobo returned from outside. After about four months of treatment, his poison had been cleared by sixty or seventy percent.

Although not completely cured, he no longer suffered from the excruciating pain of the venom every day.

Even his hair, had changed from green to white, and some parts were beginning to turn from white to black. After all, he was a Title Douluo, even nearing eighty, he shouldn’t have aged to this extent.

Previously, he had used most of his soul power to suppress the internal venom; now, with smoother soul power circulation, this rejuvenation was occurring.

“Little Fei, get ready, you should leave for a while today,” Du Guobo suddenly said.

“Old Poison, what do you mean, you want to chase me away? Your poison isn’t fully removed yet,” Nan Feihuang asked in confusion.

“What chase you away? You brat, have you forgotten the time you’ve spent here? It’s nearly the end of the year; New Year’s is less than half a month away. Don’t you need to go home to visit your father and mother, or are you planning to spend New Year’s with this old poison?” Du Guobo said.

Nan Feihuang then remembered that, including the months at the academy and the months at the Ice and Fire Eye, a semester had already passed.

During the New Year period, he should also go home.

Anyway, the holiday was only a little over a month; he could return afterward.

Nan Feihuang stood up and nodded. “That’s right, it’s already this time. Old Poison, send me back first. I’ll come back after the New Year. The remaining poison won’t pose any threat to you in a short time.”

“Hmm, right, you wanted some of the celestial herbs here, presumably for your family. Take whatever you want,” Du Guobo pointed at the Ice and Fire Eye. Though his poison wasn’t fully cleared, he didn’t mind settling the debt first.

After several months of getting along, he realized that Nan Feihuang might not be a great good person, but he wasn’t ungrateful. He promised to detoxify him, and he would do it.

“Good, then thank you, Old Poison,” Nan Feihuang didn’t stand on ceremony, jumping into the medicinal garden to search for the herbs he needed.

“Wenruo’s fighting style doesn’t require him to be at the forefront; as long as his soul power is substantial, soldiers will be provided continuously. Therefore, this Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, which improves physique and accelerates cultivation speed, is perfect for him,” Nan Feihuang first picked the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, originally belonging to Oscar.

This herb has a gentle and mellow medicinal property, is easily absorbed, and can strengthen the foundation, nourish the body, and expel impurities; it is most suitable for Xun Yu, who is not a combat-type Soul Master.

“As for Ela, he’s a fearless warrior; with the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, he can cultivate an indestructible body, a heaven-sent future vanguard general for me.”

“Lingqi, frank and cheerful, loves without reservation. I hope you can touch her heart with the Heartbreak Red.”

He selected two more top-grade celestial herbs. The Heartbreak Red, in particular, was the top among the top-grade celestial herbs, known as the king of celestial herbs, with one herb being worth two ordinary ones.

“Chicken Crown Phoenix Sunflower, this is mine!” The third celestial herb Nan Feihuang prepared for himself was the top-grade fire-attribute celestial herb, the Chicken Crown Phoenix Sunflower.

This was for his ice and fire balance. Although he awakened his ice and fire power due to the ice and fire celestial herbs, this innate ice and fire power, inherited from his parents, his father Nan Tianchen’s fire attribute was far inferior to his mother Lan Xue’s ultimate ice.

Nan Feihuang must further strengthen his internal fire attribute to reach the realm of Ice and Fire Origin, with both ultimate ice and ultimate fire in the future.

Then, Nan Feihuang also picked the Nine-Rank Purple Spirit, Seven-Radiance Immortal Ginseng, Qiluo Golden Lily, Mixed Yuan Immortal Grass, Snake Heart Grass, and Gaze Across Autumn Water Dew.

Each has its own use.

The Nine-Rank Purple Spirit, Mixed Yuan Immortal Grass, and Seven-Radiance Immortal Ginseng were prepared for his father, mother, and sister.

Nan Tianchen was too old; even with celestial herbs, the medicinal effect would be greatly reduced. It’s better to use the Nine-Rank Purple Spirit, which strengthens the foundation, nourishes the body, and increases Qi, to help with his cultivation. He has reached level seventy-nine, so the effect of the Nine-Rank Purple Spirit should help him break through level eighty.

The Seven-Radiance Immortal Ginseng is a celestial herb that did not appear in the original work; probably because no one in Shrek was suitable for this herb, Tang San picked it and left it in the soul guide device to gather dust.

This herb’s strongest and weakest point is its omni-attribute; water, fire, wind, thunder, earth, light, and darkness, seven attributes, are the Seven Radiances. It’s very comprehensive, but the enhancement for each attribute is limited, making it seem flashy and impractical. Not everyone has all attributes, therefore few people are suitable for this herb, yet Nan Feiling’s Ancient Thunder Book has various attribute formations, making this the perfect herb for her.
