Untouched by Water and Fire, Immune to All Poisons

This trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had nearly been cut short by Dugu Bo's good intentions.

He had no idea how long it would take to absorb the two Immortal Herbs, and he did not want Dugu Bo to return and worry when he could not find him.

Li Xun left a note in the most conspicuous spot.

After taking off his clothes,

Li Xun took out two daggers from the Soul Tool on the ground, one gold and one jade.

He had specially prepared them for these two Immortal Herbs.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass needed to be harvested with something made of gold or iron. To prevent any mishaps, he had specifically bought a pure gold dagger.

As for the Infernal Delicate Apricot, it required a jade tool, which he had also paid someone to craft specifically.

Li Xun walked to a suitable position and flicked his wrist.

The two daggers became two streaks of light, one gold and one white, shooting swiftly toward the two Immortal Grades.

As half a god of the Ninja World, Li Xun was very confident in his Hidden Weapon techniques.

Claiming he surpassed Tang San might have been bragging, but he could certainly be considered a Hidden Weapon expert.

As the two streaks of light flashed past, the two Immortal Grades tilted and fell toward the ground.

Li Xun hurriedly used Wood Style to Entangle them.

He did not possess a practical technique like Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, so he could only use the most cumbersome method, slowly bringing them toward himself bit by bit.

The two Immortal Grades possessed attributes of extreme cold and extreme heat respectively, and ordinary trees could not endure them for long.

Li Xun could only continuously relay them with Wood Style, preventing the trees from burning or freezing.

Although the process was somewhat cumbersome, the distance was not far, and he soon brought both Immortal Grades before him.

The instant the two Immortal Grades touched, their originally extreme cold and extreme heat attributes immediately reached equilibrium.

Li Xun hurriedly stuffed the two Immortal Herbs into his mouth, swallowing them directly without even bothering to taste them.

The moment the two Immortal Grades entered his stomach, Li Xun truly experienced the dual heavens of ice and fire.

He could not enjoy such an overbearing sensation. He immediately leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The instant Li Xun entered the water, the medicinal effects of the two Immortal Grades within his body were immediately activated.

The extreme heat and extreme cold attributes mixed together, forming an even more violent energy.

It constantly battered Li Xun's meridians, making them tougher and broader.

Had Li Xun's willpower not been strong, and had Wood Style not possessed self-healing abilities, his meridians might have already been shattered and he might have fallen unconscious.

Even so, he was on the verge of collapse.

Enduring the pain, Li Xun opened his eyes underwater and adjusted his position to the very center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

During this, he also glanced beneath the pool.

Tens of thousands of meters beneath this deep pool lay the greatest opportunity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dragon Soul and Dragon Bone.

"Unfortunately, with my current strength, it is simply impossible for me to go down there."

Casting aside those thoughts, Li Xun began circulating two cultivation techniques.

Now was when the medicinal effects were at their fiercest. He intended to seize this opportunity and attempt to fuse Chakra and Soul Power.

He did not know how much time passed.

The two forces that had originally intertwined within his body were squeezed by the power of ice and fire, and actually showed signs of merging.

Li Xun was overjoyed. The two cultivation techniques circulated even faster, and he entered a state of half-sleep.

Time passed swiftly, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

Dugu Bo was currently overwhelmed with excitement as he hurried toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The pharmaceutical tools Li Xun had requested were far too obscure. Dugu Bo had traveled through many places before gathering everything.

But when he thought of the effects of Dragon's Tear and Dragon Heart's Weeping Blood, he felt that this little trouble was nothing at all.

Without stopping along the way, Dugu Bo charged straight through the barrier from the air.

"Xiao Xun, getting these items you wanted really took a great deal of effort."

His voice arrived before he did.

Dugu Bo laughed heartily as he landed near the two Immortal Grades.

"Hm! Where is he?" His smile vanished in an instant as Dugu Bo rapidly scanned his surroundings.

"What is that brat up to now?" Dugu Bo picked up the note Li Xun had left behind in confusion.

When he saw the writing at the top, he immediately cried out and hurriedly turned toward the pool. "What? When Xiao Xun said he would make use of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he meant jumping into it?"

Earlier, when he heard Li Xun say he would make use of the environment here, he had assumed Li Xun merely intended to meditate and cultivate nearby.

He had never expected Li Xun to jump into such a dangerous pool.

The temperatures on both sides of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were extreme. Even he could not withstand them with his Soul Power.

How had Li Xun, a little fellow who had not even reached Soul Elder, dared to jump into this pool?

Dugu Bo's face was filled with anxiety. Ignoring the extreme surrounding temperatures, he hurried toward the edge of the pool.

After spending this time together, he had truly acknowledged Li Xun.

By his estimation, Li Xun had most likely already discovered that he did not recognize the herbs here.

Yet when Li Xun saw the Immortal Grades, he had not hidden anything from him and had chosen to tell him the truth.

In fact, Li Xun could have simply kept it from him. Later, he could have had Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo bring him here.

He could have taken away every Immortal Grade without Dugu Bo ever knowing.

But Li Xun had not done so.

Even Immortal Grade herbs could not stir Li Xun's greed. Dugu Bo truly could not imagine how sincere Li Xun's heart must be.

"Good child, why did you have to do this?"

Dugu Bo stared at the pool, his hand clutching the note and Li Xun's clothes trembling slightly. "Had I known, I would never have brought you here."

"Even if we only used the Soul Bone method, Yan Yan and I could basically ensure lifelong safety."

"Why did you still have to risk yourself to test the medicine?"

Before he had forced the toxins into his Soul Bones, he had lived to eighty. Could he possibly live a shorter life after gaining Soul Bones?

Moreover, now that they had two dragon-type Immortal Grades, Yan Yan no longer needed to worry about breaking through to the Titled Douluo rank.

Just as Dugu Bo was gripped by anxiety,

Li Xun's head suddenly emerged from the water. Then he leaped up, condensed Chakra beneath his feet, and stood directly on the water's surface.

"Hm? Grandpa Dugu! You're back?"

When Li Xun saw the figure on the shore, he was instantly embarrassed. He hurriedly dispersed the Chakra beneath his feet, allowing half his body to sink back into the water.

"Um, Grandpa Dugu, could you throw my clothes over to me?"

Dugu Bo was feeling low. Seeing Li Xun suddenly appear, he found it unbelievable.

His eyes narrowed. "Brat, you're not dead?"

"Hehe, my life is tough. I won't die that easily." Li Xun smiled awkwardly. "Grandpa Dugu, my clothes..."

"You still want your clothes?"

Seeing that Li Xun was unharmed, Dugu Bo gradually relaxed.

A cold smile appeared on his lips as he waved the clothes in his hand. "What did I tell you?"

"I told you not to take risks, but you refused to listen. Since you can withstand the environment in the water, stay in there a while longer!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo took the clothes and walked away.

"Don't go..."

Li Xun did not have a habit of streaking beneath the moon.

He soaked in the water for two hours before Dugu Bo's anger subsided and he returned his clothes.

"Did you gain anything from this risk?"

Once Li Xun had finished dressing, Dugu Bo asked.

"I gained a great deal." Li Xun smiled and sat beside Dugu Bo. "Although my Soul Power did not increase this time, I gained the effects of being untouched by water and fire, and immune to all poisons."

"Furthermore, the poison in you and Sister Yan can also be removed using my blood."

"That's all?" Dugu Bo looked doubtful. Such words were too vague and sounded mostly like exaggeration.
