After listening, Tang San pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked:
"In that case, if I cure Dugu Yan, would I be allowed to pick these herbs?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Bei's face immediately lit up with joy:
"If Third Brother can cure Yan'er, I'll make the decision regarding these herbs—I'll give you a hundred plants!"
Tang San was overjoyed and didn't stand on ceremony, striking palms with Meng Bei:
"It's a deal—a hundred plants it is! There's no time to waste. Let's first go see Dugu Yan's condition so I can think of a way to treat her."
Meng Bei agreed and led Tang San toward Dugu Yan's room.
Tang San was even somewhat impatient, walking faster than Meng Bei and taking the lead.
Behind him, Meng Bei smiled as he watched Tang San's figure. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Even though he had already decided to give the immortal herbs to Tang San, during this process, he also wanted to extract every last bit of value from Tang San.
Soon, the two arrived outside Dugu Yan's room, and Meng Bei knocked on the door.
"Yan'er, I'm here. Open the door?"
With a creak, the adjacent left and right doors opened simultaneously.
Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong both emerged from their rooms at the same time.
The air immediately fell into deathly silence.
Tang San watched this scene and couldn't help but retreat several steps.
He inexplicably felt a chilling sensation!
Dugu Yan's eyes were red as she stared fixedly at Meng Bei.
Seeing this, Meng Bei stepped forward without hesitation and pulled Dugu Yan into his embrace.
Not far away, Ning Rongrong watched this scene and immediately felt her nose tingle, her heart filled with grievance.
But she was unwilling to make a scene with Meng Bei in front of outsiders, so she could only hide her grievance in her heart and silently turn around, preparing to return to her room.
Just as she turned around, suddenly, a large hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into an embrace.
It was Meng Bei—at this moment, he held Dugu Yan with one arm and Ning Rongrong with the other, embracing both left and right, truly enjoying himself.
"Mmm~ What are you doing? Don't!"
Ning Rongrong struggled almost imperceptibly, but the next moment, Meng Bei kissed her lips, and instantly, Ning Rongrong's body became honest.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan felt somewhat ashamed yet also somewhat envious.
This envy didn't last long, however. Soon, her lips were also captured by Meng Bei's kiss, completely consumed.
With a few techniques and several moves, in just a moment, both women had been subdued by Meng Bei, leaning obediently against him on the left and right, docile and compliant.
Tang San watched this scene with envy, couldn't help but admire Meng Bei's methods.
If only he could have half of Meng Bei's skill in this area. Unfortunately, whether in his previous life or this one, he wasn't good at dealing with girls.
Moreover, Xiao Wu wasn't like Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan—his Xiao Wu was too conservative. This was both Xiao Wu's strength and weakness, though in Tang San's eyes, the strengths outweighed the weaknesses.
Being a bit conservative was fine—he could slowly cultivate feelings with Xiao Wu. He believed that as time passed, Xiao Wu would definitely understand his feelings!
After Meng Bei had been intimate with Yan'er and Rongrong for a while, he briefly explained the situation to the two women, then had Tang San examine Dugu Yan.
Tang San took her pulse, looked at Dugu Yan's tongue coating and eyes, and finally had Dugu Yan drop a bit of blood for him to personally examine. Soon, Tang San had a general understanding.
Dugu Yan's toxin was a bloodline toxin. This toxin was harmless in itself, but because Dugu Yan's current strength was insufficient to bear the power of this toxin, it triggered a series of chain reactions.
Currently, due to this toxin, the yin-yang balance in Dugu Yan's body had become disrupted, with the toxin dominating. If this continued, Dugu Yan's internal tissues, organs, immune system, and so on would all become imbalanced.
To resolve this situation, Tang San currently had three methods.
The first was to use medicine to weaken or even eradicate the toxin. The advantage of this method was that it left no future troubles, but it would greatly reduce Dugu Yan's poison skills or even render them useless.
Therefore, when Tang San proposed this method, while Meng Bei felt it was fine, Dugu Yan was clearly unwilling.
Tang San's second method was to find a suitable container to store the toxins from Dugu Yan's body, such as a soul bone. This would greatly reduce the toxin's impact on her body.
This method seemed foolproof, but it actually had a drawback—if toxins were continuously stored in the soul bone, there would come a day when the toxins reached the limit, and if the soul bone couldn't bear it and exploded, the consequences would be irreversible.
However, Tang San didn't mention this drawback.
On one hand, soul bones had high durability—unless used continuously for several generations, it would be difficult for them to be unable to withstand the toxin explosion.
On the other hand, Tang San had his own selfish motives, because this method was the simplest for him—he could complete the treatment without much effort, so he preferred Dugu Yan to use this method.
Dugu Yan herself thought this method was good, but Meng Bei rejected the proposal.
Because in the original story, this was the method Tang San told Dugu Bo.
In the original story, Dugu Bo practically traded his entire fortune for Tang San's detoxification method, but the final result was that on the stage of Douluo II, the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul never appeared again.
Since Meng Bei refused, Tang San had no choice but to use the final method.
The last method was also the most simple and brutal—directly consume immortal herbs to suppress the toxin.
This was also the method Tang San was most reluctant to use, because every immortal herb was unique. If one was given to Dugu Yan, it meant he would have one less.
You have to know, there were no more than twenty immortal herbs here in total!
But Meng Bei insisted, and Tang San had no choice.
So be it—in this situation, he could only make a major sacrifice once, waste precious resources, and give an immortal herb to Dugu Yan for detoxification.
So the group returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Tang San initially recommended the Odd Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to Dugu Yan.
Of course, he didn't say it was an immortal herb, just that it was a good neutral medicinal herb that could greatly strengthen physical power and suppress the toxin when used.
After hearing this, Dugu Yan was very interested.
Meng Bei then asked Tang San about the consumption method, and seeing an opportunity, Tang San quickly explained the consumption method.
"First eat the pistil, then eat the petals. Don't eat the roots and stems. Afterwards, quickly meditate and circulate qi to digest the medicinal power."
Meng Bei nodded upon hearing this, and Dugu Yan was about to pick it, but Meng Bei stopped her.
"Yan'er, don't eat it yet. This herb mainly strengthens physical power—it sounds more suitable for men to eat. Third Brother, are there any others?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's face showed black lines as he thought that Meng Bei didn't recognize good things—this was a genuine immortal herb.
With no choice, he could only find another Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and carefully introduce it to Meng Bei again.
However, after Tang San finished explaining the consumption method, Meng Bei still refused.
"This one isn't quite suitable either. Let's see if there are others."
