Immortal Herb Body Tempering

The most noticeable thing in the air was the presence of two auras, one hot and one cold.

"Your Majesty the Pope, this is where I usually cultivate," Dugu Bo said, introducing the place after the three of them entered.

"This really is an excellent place," Duanyu Fan praised.

"Holy Son, the herbs you wanted are at the bottom of the valley not far from there. You'll see them once you walk over," Dugu Bo said, not forgetting the purpose of their visit.

"I can feel the joy of my martial soul within me. Your Majesty the Pope, Holy Son, I'm going over there." Chrysanthemum Douluo grew excited and swiftly moved toward the direction Dugu Bo had indicated.

"Why does Yue Guan seem like a completely different person?" Bibi Dong found Chrysanthemum Douluo's change a little hard to adjust to.

"Teacher, let's go take a look too." Duanyu Fan saw Chrysanthemum Douluo standing not far away, staring blankly down below.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, what's wrong?" Duanyu Fan asked when he arrived beside the still-dazed Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Yin Yang Extremes Spring... It's actually the Yin Yang Extremes Spring! I actually get to see the Yin Yang Extremes Spring recorded in the ancestral texts passed down through my family! Hahaha, I can die without regrets!" Chrysanthemum Douluo began trembling all over in excitement, unable to conceal the wild joy on his face.

"Yue Guan, calm down." Bibi Dong jolted Chrysanthemum Douluo with Soul Power, having noticed that he was on the verge of losing his reason.

"What powerful Soul Power." Dugu Bo glanced at her from behind, secretly shocked by Bibi Dong's strength.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Pope. This subordinate lost control and nearly suffered qi deviation." Chrysanthemum Douluo shuddered and recovered, his body finally ceasing to tremble, though the delight on his face remained.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, shouldn't you properly explain it first?" Duanyu Fan interrupted as Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed about to become absorbed in staring below again.

So Chrysanthemum Elder calls the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well the Yin Yang Extremes Spring. Well, the names aren't that different, Duanyu Fan thought to himself.

"Yes, Holy Son, Your Majesty the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly began his explanation while looking below.

"This spring treasure ground below is called the Yin Yang Extremes Spring. Do you see the side shrouded in cold mist? That area is called the Cold Extreme Yin Spring. The other side, with its crimson spring water, is called the Scorching Hot Yang Spring. They embody the two attributes of extreme ice and extreme fire. This spring treasure ground, formed by a volcano and an ice mountain, is known as the Yin Yang Extremes Spring."

"Most importantly, on both sides of the Yin Yang Extremes Spring, ordinary plants cannot grow at all. Only special flowers and herbs can survive here, gradually growing into all kinds of immortal herbs. More than a dozen types of immortal herbs have already grown on both sides of the spring. My ancestral records contain descriptions of them."

"Old Poison, you're truly wasting a priceless treasure. You sit atop this treasure ground without knowing how to use it. Though it's no wonder—aside from me, I reckon only the patriarch of the Breaking Clan would recognize the uses of these immortal herbs. After all, the Breaking Clan specializes in medicine refining."

"Oh, right! Your Majesty the Pope, we can use an immortal herb to win over the Breaking Clan. I believe they must be desperately eager for immortal herbs as well."

Chrysanthemum Douluo introduced the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. In the end, he did not forget to mock Poison Douluo and even proposed a method for bringing the Breaking Clan under their control.

"Oh! That would be wonderful. In that case, let's go down." Bibi Dong leaped forward and descended toward the valley floor.

"Alright!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was about to follow when Duanyu Fan hurriedly stopped him.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, take me with you!" Duanyu Fan frowned. The valley floor was still more than twenty meters below, and he did not possess footwork like Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to get down there.

"Oh! I nearly forgot. Holy Son, I'll take you down." Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly supported Duanyu Fan and leaped toward the valley floor, landing beside Bibi Dong.

"Yan'er! Let's go down too." Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan down with him as well.

"What a wondrous place—one cold aura and one hot aura." Duanyu Fan could now feel the two auras emitted by the spring even more clearly.

"It truly deserves the name Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Chrysanthemum Elder, go gather the immortal herbs that would be useful for Nana, Xie Yue, and the others," Duanyu Fan said directly.

Duanyu Fan began searching. Before long, he found an immortal herb suitable for Dugu Yan—the Earth Dragon Golden Silk Gourd—and temporarily stored it in his Soul Tool.

Hmm? How does the Holy Son recognize immortal herbs? And he even calls the Yin Yang Extremes Spring the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Never mind. Chrysanthemum Douluo thought to himself, then stopped dwelling on it and focused on searching for immortal herbs.

After searching for a while longer, Duanyu Fan found the immortal herbs he wanted: the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. He planned to use them to temper his body. A strong physique was the foundation of cultivation.

"Holy Son, these two immortal herbs counter each other. They're highly poisonous. I'll find you something better." Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly tried to stop Duanyu Fan when he saw what he had chosen.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, don't worry. I naturally know how to consume them," Duanyu Fan replied.

"Very well." Seeing that Duanyu Fan truly recognized immortal herbs, Chrysanthemum Douluo no longer tried to stop him.

"Teacher! It may be quite painful after I consume them, but don't interrupt me. I'm using them to temper my body," Duanyu Fan warned in advance.

"Alright, Xiao Fan." Bibi Dong had been preparing to interrupt him if anything went wrong.

Duanyu Fan simultaneously plucked the cores of the two immortal herbs and swallowed them. Before long, two streams of energy rampaged through his body, and his entire body turned half icy and half scorching hot.

Seeing that the timing was about right, Duanyu Fan leaped into the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The icy side was filled with fire, while the fiery side was filled with ice. With only his head above the water, he closed his eyes and guided the ice and fire attributes to temper his body.

"Xiao Fan!" Bibi Dong cried out in alarm.

"Your Majesty the Pope, don't panic. The Holy Son is using the characteristics of the spring to temper his body with ice and fire," Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly explained.

At that moment, Duanyu Fan only felt his entire body beginning to transform. His meridians, bones, flesh, and skin were tempered by the fusion of the ice and fire attributes.

No one knew how long it lasted. The effect of tempering his body gradually weakened until it reached its limit. The immortal herbs and spring water could no longer further temper his body.

Returning to the shore, he swiftly took out a set of clothes from his Soul Tool and put them on. His previous clothes had long since been melted away by the ice and fire.

However, Duanyu Fan had already reminded Dugu Yan and Bibi Dong to turn around.

"Alright, Teacher." Duanyu Fan scratched his head, grateful that his head of black hair was still intact.

"Xiao Fan, you stayed in that spring for three hours. Are you alright?" Bibi Dong asked as she turned back around.

"Teacher, I'm fine. Better than ever before. My physical defense has improved, and I may even be immune to both ice and fire attributes." Duanyu Fan happily explained the results.

"Excellent! I had been worried that, as a Support System Spirit Master, you might fall behind Xie Yue and the others in terms of physique." Bibi Dong was happy for Duanyu Fan as well. Her disciple's increase in strength gave her, as his teacher, a sense of accomplishment.

Duanyu Fan took out another immortal herb. His physical defense had improved, so naturally his spiritual power could not be left behind.

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, one of the finest immortal herbs! It's an immortal herb capable of enhancing spiritual power." Chrysanthemum Douluo stared at the herb in Duanyu Fan's hand as he spoke.

In truth, Duanyu Fan had picked five immortal herbs. This was now the third one he was consuming.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Duanyu Fan sat cross-legged and began absorbing the effects of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Immortal Herb.

Another hour passed. Duanyu Fan's spiritual power had now surpassed his own strength, reaching the level of a Soul Emperor.

Duanyu Fan then took out the Earth Dragon Golden Silk Gourd he had prepared for Dugu Yan and handed it to her.

Sorry, sorry, I gave the protagonist another cheat.

Hehehe.
