Chapter 29: Searching in the Sunset Forest

Hearing this, Yang Wudi felt a bit puzzled: "Podi, how did you come up with the idea of searching for medicinal herbs in the Sunset Forest? It's true that there are many herbs there, and some rare ones too. However, the Sunset Forest is also incredibly dangerous; the amount of herbs found does not match the level of danger. Besides, I am a peak Soul Saint, so it's really a waste of my abilities to gather herbs."

"Grandpa, let's just take a look. We can treat it as an adventure in the Sunset Forest and gain some experience with the soul beasts. It will help me prepare for obtaining my next soul ring."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi couldn't help but laugh: "Podi, you just got your first soul ring. The second one won't come that easily."

In the end, Yang Wudi agreed to his grandson's request, and the two spent a few days in the Sunset Forest.

During these days, they encountered numerous soul beasts of various types, including plant soul beasts, animal soul beasts, and even several ten-thousand-year soul beasts. They especially came across a ten-thousand-year Ghost Leopard, which was incredibly fast, moving like a shadow. Fortunately, Yang Wudi was able to scare it away; if it were an ordinary Soul Emperor, they would likely be in danger.

They even found many precious herbs, the best being a millennium-grade soil poria, worth tens of thousands of soul coins.

However, no matter how much they searched, they couldn't seem to find the location of the Ice and Fire Yang. Yang Wudi was adamant about not taking his grandson into the inner region, as it was far too dangerous for a six-year-old child.

In the end, with Yang Podi feeling somewhat disappointed, they left the Sunset Forest.

On the carriage, Yang Podi couldn't help but ask his grandfather, "Grandpa, are there any powerful poison soul masters in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Yang Wudi was curious: "Podi, why are you suddenly asking about poison soul masters?"

"Grandpa, our Breaking Clan not only refines medicine but also practices poison, right? Are there any poisons that are more powerful than ours?"

"Podi, when it comes to using poison, the most famous in the Douluo Continent is probably Dugu Bo. His martial soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, and he lives in Heaven Dou City."

Upon hearing about Dugu Bo, Yang Podi immediately became interested: "Grandpa, is this Dugu Bo very powerful? How does his poison compare to our Breaking Clan's?"

"The poison of our Breaking Clan and Dugu Bo's should have their own strengths and weaknesses. Dugu Bo's poison comes entirely from his martial soul. I met him a year ago; he should have already been a high-level Soul Douluo by then. However, his poison cannot do anything to your grandpa, and while he is powerful in group battles, he is relatively weak in one-on-one fights. In terms of strength, he should not be my opponent."

"Grandpa, it seems that poison soul masters are quite rare in the Douluo Continent. What is the reason for this? Logically speaking, the lethality of poison should be significant."

"Podi, let me teach you another principle. While using poison is indeed quite effective and can be highly lethal, it has a significant drawback. If a soul master uses poison for an extended period, they will inevitably become poisoned themselves, especially after prolonged exposure. The toxins will merge into their own bloodstream, ultimately slowing the rate of their soul power growth. This is also one of the reasons our Breaking Clan's soul power cannot improve."

"However, refining medicine is one of the fundamentals of our Breaking Clan. As the clan leader, it's essential to be skilled in alchemy, which is also our clan's biggest regret."

"Grandpa, is there a way to refine medicine without getting poisoned?"

Hearing this, Yang Wudi fell into deep thought. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Of course, there is a way. As long as you find the legendary herb, the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, it will be fine."

"Grandpa, what is the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb?"

"The Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb is a nemesis to all poisons, capable of neutralizing any toxins. It cannot directly detoxify but can counteract poisons. Unfortunately, our Breaking Clan has spent countless generations without finding it."

"Grandpa, what does the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb look like? Also, what exactly is an Immortal Herb?"

"Immortal Herb are extremely exquisite herbs. These herbs have grown for tens of thousands of years, or even over a hundred thousand years, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Ordinary soul masters who absorb them can greatly increase their soul power, and some can even evolve their martial souls. Each one is priceless."

"The Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb is a large flower that is pale pink, without leaves. Its stem is three feet long, and the flower itself is enormous, with a diameter of nearly one foot. Each petal looks crystal clear, and the flower core is light purple, resembling purple diamonds embedded within. Just standing near the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb will render one immune to all poisons."

"Podi, now that you have become a soul master, it's time for you to accept the true inheritance of our Breaking Clan. After we return this time, I will teach you the alchemical knowledge of our clan, which is our true foundation."

Upon hearing this, Yang Podi felt very excited but also a bit hesitant. He finally spoke: "Grandpa, can I just learn the knowledge of alchemy without actually refining medicine myself?"

Yang Wudi looked at his grandson: "Podi, why do you have this idea? You should know that once you learn alchemy, you will become stronger."

"Grandpa, I really want to become stronger, but I want to become a more powerful soul master."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi fell silent, as it seemed every member of the Breaking Clan faced this dilemma. However, once everyone touched the path of alchemy, they became obsessed; otherwise, the Breaking Clan wouldn't have gone through countless generations without a single Title Douluo. Although the Breaking Soul Spear is also known as a top martial soul, in terms of reputation, it is significantly inferior compared to the Seven Killing Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer.

This was one of the greatest regrets of the Breaking Clan.

"Podi, for now, focus on learning the knowledge of alchemy. Whether you want to learn alchemy later is something to discuss at that time."

Yang Wudi himself had 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 today, with his soul power level at the bottom among the clan leaders of the four major families, even lower than the White Crane of the Min Family, while the other three have already become Soul Douluos.

Thinking of this, Yang Wudi couldn't help but sigh. The success of the Breaking Clan might be due to alchemy, but its downfall could also be attributed to it.

After more than an hour, the carriage finally returned to the Qingyuan Mountain of the Breaking Clan.

As soon as they arrived home, Yang Podi's mother, Niu Jinfeng, pulled him around, checking him from head to toe, worried about any potential issues with his health, which made Yang Podi feel quite speechless.

"Mom, I'm really fine."

"Son, you've been away for so long. How could I not worry? Besides, you absorbed a 600-year soul ring, which is very dangerous."

After Niu Jinfeng carefully examined her son's body and confirmed that there were no problems, she finally felt at ease.

"Son, don't do such dangerous things in the future. Although our Breaking Clan is not a big family, we still have some strength. There's no need for you to risk yourself like this."

"Mom, don't worry. I will only do things that I'm confident in from now on."

After communicating with his mother, Yang Podi returned to his room, while his mother continued to take care of his little sister, Yang Tianyue.
