Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Trouble



Half a month later, Huo Lie returned to Blazing Academy.

"Xiaoyang, the thing you asked for, I brought it back."

Taking out a thick herbal compendium from his storage soul tool, Huo Lie handed it to Mu Yang.

"Uncle, does recording information about immortal-grade herbs really require such a thick book?"

Feeling the weight of the book, which was as heavy as a large dictionary in his previous life, Mu Yang couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Not exactly. Clan Leader Yang said that this book records most of the herbs known in the soul master world, with only the last part detailing the immortal-grade herbs."

Huo Lie explained.

During his return journey, Huo Lie had flipped through the book out of curiosity.

He had to admit, the descriptions of the immortal-grade herbs and their effects in this book had genuinely shocked him.

Consuming them not only boosted soul power levels without side effects, but could also enhance a soul master's cultivation talent. If the consumed herb had high compatibility with their martial soul, there was even a significant chance for the martial soul to evolve.

Even if the martial soul did not evolve due to already being of extremely high quality, the herb could still strengthen it to a certain extent.

Half a month ago, if someone had told Huo Lie how extraordinary these immortal herbs were, he would not have believed it without proof.

But now, Huo Lie believed it wholeheartedly—even without seeing it firsthand or consuming it himself. Others might deceive him, but the great God wouldn't joke about something like this.

The great God had specifically visited Mu Yang in a dream and granted him a secret method in exchange for knowledge. Therefore, the effects of these immortal-grade herbs had to be real.

"Is Clan Leader Yang really this generous?"

Flipping open the compendium and taking a quick glance, Mu Yang couldn't help but ask.

Even though the book only recorded information about herbs and did not contain recipes for refining medicine, its value was still undeniable.

After all, collecting so much detailed information on herbs would take someone a lifetime—if it was even possible.

Huo Lie nodded and added, "Yes, he's quite generous! But we also offered a significant price. Besides the Soul Light Body Protection secret method, I also told Clan Leader Yang about the whale glue.

"Moreover, you need to understand something, Xiaoyang—in this world, aside from strength, everything else is meaningless. This book isn't as precious as you think."

Hearing this, Mu Yang fell into thought.

Indeed, he had overestimated it. In a world where strength was paramount, professions like herbalists were far from being as respected as soul masters.

Unless herbalists advanced to alchemists capable of refining pills that aided soul master cultivation, they were seen as little more than a "lowly profession" by soul masters.

This was in stark contrast to blacksmiths, a profession that underwent a remarkable transformation in later generations.

With the development of soul tools and the creation of battle armor—an essential tool for soul masters to challenge higher-level opponents—ordinary blacksmiths might still be looked down upon, but high-level forging masters were now figures most soul masters sought out eagerly.

With knowledge of immortal herbs now in hand, Mu Yang returned to his bedroom and began to examine the book carefully.

The compendium detailed many types of immortal-grade herbs, some of which had not even appeared in the original story.

But Mu Yang wasn't too concerned about this. Apart from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the chances of encountering immortal-grade herbs elsewhere were minuscule—far lower than winning the lottery in his previous life.

He wasn't overly greedy. If he could acquire the immortal-grade herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the future, that would already be enough.

Besides, due to their potent effects, immortal herbs couldn't be consumed recklessly unless they complemented each other.

Recalling the various immortal herbs from the original story and combining this knowledge with his Ginseng and Fire Shadow martial souls, Mu Yang quickly determined which herbs were best suited for him.

When it came to the strength of individual herbs, Lovesick Heartbroken Red, known as the king of flowers, was undoubtedly the strongest.

However, this herb was special—it required recognizing a master before it could be consumed. And the condition for it to recognize a master? Nmmp—he didn't even have a girlfriend yet! Where was he supposed to find "true love" to fulfill the condition?

Given that he didn't meet the requirements, Lovesick Heartbroken Red was immediately ruled out. Among the remaining immortal-grade herbs, the combination of Blazing Delicate Apricot and Eight Petal Ice Crystal Grass was the most suitable for him.

The purely yang-natured Phoenix Crown Sunflower was also a good fit, especially since his Fire Shadow martial soul was fire-attributed. But how could one Phoenix Crown Sunflower compare to the ice-fire combination of two immortal-grade herbs? If he was going to consume them, he might as well go for the best.

Of course, the spirit-enhancing Autumn Dew Tear was also a must-have.

"A two-ring Grand Soul Master heading to soak in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—isn't that a bit too soon?"

Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

If he were like Tang San in the original story, consuming Eight Petal Ice Crystal Grass and Blazing Delicate Apricot before soaking in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there seemed to be some risk involved.

After all, his current soul power level was only that of a two-ring Grand Soul Master, a full level lower than Tang San's at the time. What if his body couldn't handle the medicinal power in time and he exploded?

"I'll wait a bit longer. Once I finish deducing the body-refining method, then I'll go. With the help of these two herbs, the improvement to my physique will definitely be even greater."

After much consideration, Mu Yang made up his mind.

Half a month after Taiyin Refining Spirit reached its second stage, the efficiency of his innate ability, Deduction, had improved significantly.

Spirit is external, while soul is internal. As his spiritual power grew stronger, his soul power also improved. Now, his maximum deduction time twice a day had increased considerably compared to when he was at the first stage, Illusory Moon.

With the progress he had already made, Mu Yang could sense that it would only take two more months at most for the body-refining method to be complete. Waiting this long was no big deal.

Ten days later.

Around noon, after finishing his morning lessons with his private tutor, Mu Yang headed to the academy cafeteria to eat.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cafeteria, Mu Yang saw his uncle Huo Lie and his aunt Mu Xiyue approaching alongside a beautiful blue-haired woman in blue clothes.

Following behind them were Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, along with two blue-haired girls who looked somewhat similar to each other.

Skipping over the younger, sweet-looking blue-haired girl, Mu Yang's gaze fell on the older one.

She had long, flowing blue hair cascading down her back, and her pale face was adorned with delicate features. Her elegant blue dress made her look like a princess from an icy world.

Mu Yang: "Oh no. I don't want to become a copper-refining sorcerer!"
