Chapter 53: The Immortal Grass Atlas Is in Hand
"No problem!"
Dugu Bo nodded, then lifted the three of them and flew swiftly toward Xingyao City, located in the southeast.
When Yang Wudi learned that the white-haired old man beside him was none other than the renowned Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, he was shocked beyond words. His heart surged with emotion.
> What a fortunate day this is! Not only did I meet the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire, but I also met the legendary Poison Douluo. More importantly—I saw so many Immortal Herbs and rare medicinal plants!
Thinking about those immortal herbs, Yang Wudi's mood improved even more. On top of that, Dai Weis had promised to reward him with some ninth-grade purple ganoderma as long as he helped refine the medicine.

Three days later, the four of them appeared above the Po Yi Clan's stronghold in Xingyao City.
> "Ah! That's the clan leader!"
> "Look, the clan leader is back!"
> "Huh? He's flying? But only Titled Douluo can fly in the sky, right?"
> "Hey, do you know who that is next to the clan leader...?"
As Yang Wudi returned, members of the Po Yi Clan rushed forward in excitement to greet their leader.
> "Your Highness the First Prince, His Majesty Dugu, please come in!" Yang Wudi said respectfully, then shouted to the clan members,
"What are you all standing around for? Go prepare two guest rooms for His Highness the First Prince and His Majesty Dugu!"
Seeing their usually aloof and cold clan leader treat Davis and Dugu Bo with such respect, the clan members were stunned.
> Is this really our clan leader?!
Many people quickly guessed their guests' identities after hearing the titles.
> "The First Prince? You mean the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire?"
> "Of course! Who else could it be? The Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince? Why would he be here? To collude with the enemy?"
> "He's so handsome! He's going to star in my dreams tonight!"
> "Girl, can you have a little shame? Keep it down at night—I need sleep."
> "Stop pretending! You act all innocent, but your voice is louder than mine!"
> "And that old man next to the prince—Clan Leader called him 'His Majesty Dugu'. Only Titled Douluo get that title. Could he be the legendary Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo?"
> "Oh my god! A Titled Douluo? What's someone like that doing here? Something big must be going on!"
> "Shut your crow's mouth, you little rascal!"

Dai Weis followed Yang Wudi into the pharmacy, which was filled with all kinds of herbs and medicinal materials. A large alchemy furnace dominated the room.
Yang Wudi walked over to the wall behind the furnace, pulled out a rag, and wiped away the ash. Davis was surprised to see—there was a hidden compartment behind the wall.
The location was obvious, but because Yang Wudi frequently refined medicine here, the walls were covered with soot and dust. It camouflaged the presence of the compartment.
> A true example of hiding in plain sight.
Unless someone demolished the pharmacy, no one would think to check behind the furnace.
Yang Wudi opened the compartment. Inside were the Illustrated Guide of Immortal Grasses and various prescriptions of the Po Yi Clan.
He retrieved the Immortal Grass Atlas and handed it to Davis.
> "Your Highness, this is the Illustrated Guide of Immortal Grasses you requested. Please browse it at your convenience."
> "Thank you, senior." Davis bowed respectfully, then opened the book like it was a priceless treasure and began flipping through it. Meanwhile, Yang Wudi bustled around the pharmacy, preparing to refine medicine.
> "As expected of the Immortal Grass Atlas... it actually records so many medicinal herbs."
Davis marveled. It included the names and effects of each plant, as well as which types of Spirit Masters could benefit from them.
> "Fire Dragon Grass: Strong medicinal properties, suitable for male fire-attribute spirit masters. If a female fire-attribute spirit master wants to consume it, it must be combined with ninth-grade purple ganoderma.
Taboos: Spirit Masters with water attributes, pregnant women, and weak constitutions must not consume."
> "Gengjin Fruit: A golden medicinal herb with a hard outer peel. Drink only the juice. After refining, it can grant metal power to a martial soul.
Suitable for metal-type weapon martial souls and golden beast martial souls.
Forbidden for plant-type martial souls."
> "Dark Night Rose: Born of black winds and connected to the underworld. Contains Nine Nether Yellow Spring energy. Unblocks meridians and strengthens underworld-type martial souls.
Eat the stamens first, then the petals. Rhizomes are highly toxic—do not consume!"
> "The Gengjin Fruit is ideal for gold-attribute Spirit Masters. My grandfather and father's Evil-Eyed White Tigers are gold-type martial souls...
As for the Dark Night Rose, it suits my mother and grandmother, who both have Nether Spirit Cats.
It could also benefit Zhuyun and Zhuqing..."
As Davis thought about this, Yang Wudi's voice interrupted.
> "Your Highness, I've finished preparing the ingredients for refining. But... may I ask, who exactly is this medicine for?"
> "You know, medicine is three parts poison. If we don't know the user's martial soul attributes, refining blindly could cause serious harm—or even explode the user."
> "Senior speaks the truth," Davis nodded.
"This isn't something to be careless about. For now, please refine a general-purpose body-strengthening medicine using the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma.
These two herbs are neutral in nature, so they should be safe for everyone."
> "Understood."
Yang Wudi took out the orchid, twenty ninth-grade purple ganodermas, and other supporting materials. He lit the furnace and, with practiced ease, added the ingredients one by one.
Before long, a rich medicinal aroma filled the room.
Dugu Bo couldn't help but murmur,
> "As expected of one of the four great clans of the Clear Sky Sect… what skill..."
Though his voice was soft, Yang Wudi still heard him clearly. Upon hearing "Clear Sky Sect," Yang Wudi's brows twitched—but his hands never paused.
Davis activated the Ice and Fire Eyes to examine the refining process.
> "Senior Yang is using high temperatures to eliminate impurities from the herbs… the final result must be excellent."
---
Three hours later, Yang Wudi opened the furnace, and a fragrant wave swept the room.
The smell alone made Davis and the others feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
They looked inside—there were ten green pills, each exuding faint purple mist.
Davis inhaled the purple air—his soul power instantly increased by one point.
> "Such powerful medicinal aroma! May I ask, Senior, what is this pill called?"
Yang Wudi laughed.
> "All the medicinal power from the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma has been condensed into these ten pills.
Let's name it the Ninth-Grade Qingling Pill!"
