He and Dugu Bo were still in the process of building rapport, and this was hardly some great secret. Once he fought others in the future, it would naturally be exposed for all to see.

"Let me put it this way." Li Xun pondered for a moment.

"Fire and ice attributes no longer pose a threat to my plants, because my Martial Soul has gained Ice and Fire Immunity."

"Moreover, my own Soul Power carries both extreme heat and extreme cold attributes, though they are not directly reflected in my Martial Soul or skills.

But as long as I wished it, I could completely achieve the same effect by changing the attributes of the Soul Power within my body."

This effect was an ability granted by the two Immortal Grades. Tang San had mentioned it when he obtained the Immortal Herbs.

Yet after consuming the Immortal Herbs, he seemed to have forgotten about it and had never used the extreme heat and cold Soul Power within his body.

As a result, his Blue Silver Grass had always been known for the poison attached through its Soul Rings.

Dugu Bo listened with a shocked expression. "Doesn't that mean your plant-type Martial Soul no longer has any obvious weaknesses?"

Li Xun smiled and nodded. "Not only that, but the countless poisons in this world may also be ineffective against me."

"You're immune to poison too?"

Dugu Bo hurriedly coughed, concealing his shock. "Kid, don't get cocky. A Soul Master's strength doesn't rely solely on attributes."

He had never expected that Li Xun could not only suppress Soul Masters of fire and ice elements, but even counter his poison techniques.

Still, as a Titled Douluo, he naturally could not show weakness before a junior.

"Thank you for the reminder, Grandpa Dugu."

Li Xun was certainly not arrogant enough to think that poison immunity alone would let him challenge Dugu Bo.

As a Soul Master's level rose, the Soul Power in their body gradually grew stronger. The Soul Power attacks of a Titled Douluo alone were not something he could withstand at present.

"It's good that you understand."

Seeing Li Xun's serious expression, Dugu Bo smiled and nodded.

"Grandpa Dugu, take out the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma. While the medicinal power in my body is still potent, I'll help you refine a Root Strengthening and Toxin Purging Pill."

Li Xun gave a sly grin.

At his words, Dugu Bo carefully took the herb from his Soul Tool and handed it to Li Xun.

Taking the herb,

Li Xun pulled out a small knife and slashed his own arm. A wound two inches long instantly appeared.

Because the wound was so large, blood immediately began pouring out without end.

Li Xun hurriedly caught the blood in a jade bottle he had prepared beforehand.

This sight made Dugu Bo's eyelid twitch. He opened his mouth, about to say something, only to see the wound on Li Xun's arm healing at a visible rate.

"This..."

Dugu Bo's heart shook.

This trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had brought him far too many shocks from Li Xun.

He had originally believed this was all Li Xun had to offer, only to suddenly realize that Li Xun likely had even more talents yet to be revealed.

"Innate Full Soul Power, broad knowledge, immunity to ice, fire, and poison, and now this healing ability..."

Dugu Bo kept calculating Li Xun's potential in his heart.

Any one of these talents would have been enough for a Soul Master to look down upon those of the same age. Yet Li Xun possessed all of them.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really struck gold."

Dugu Bo watched the busy Li Xun with blazing eyes. He could say with certainty that Li Xun would definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future.

He knew that boy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was pursuing Yan Yan.

However, he did not wish to interfere too much in his granddaughter's love life. After all, children and grandchildren had their own fortunes.

But now, he felt that such matters were still best kept under the control of elders.

Because that boy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not look very reliable.

Once they returned, he would have Yan Yan spend more time with Li Xun.

Li Xun's medicine-making went very smoothly.

He merely crushed the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma, added several neutral herbs and a bit of his blood, then kneaded it together with starch.

Finally, he dehydrated it with the scorching heat of the Yin Yang Well, and the pill was complete.

"Good kid, you're quick at refining medicine."

Dugu Bo beamed as he accepted the pill Li Xun handed him.

He had been somewhat distracted just now and had not clearly seen Li Xun's medicine-making process.

Still, to finish the medicine in such a short time, Li Xun's talent in this area had to be excellent as well.

"Grandpa Dugu, take one of these pills every seven days. After taking them for three months, the poison in your body will be neutralized."

"However, this medicine isn't suitable for Sister Yan. Once the medicinal effects in my body weaken in a few days, I'll refine another pill for her."

Looking at Dugu Bo's delighted expression, Li Xun said with a smile, "Grandpa Dugu, if you have nothing else to do next, I'm going to start gathering Immortal Grades from your place."

"But I'll leave the roots behind. With the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, these Immortal Grades should grow again after many years."

He did not want to strip the place bare like a swarm of locusts.

It was not because some saintly impulse had struck him.

Rather, barring unforeseen circumstances, he estimated that he would only have this one chance to use the Immortal Grades in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Who knew how long it would take for these Immortal Grades to grow again? Leaving behind some roots could count as a surprise and a hope for those who came after.

"Let's go. I'll come with you." Dugu Bo quickly stood up. "Do you have enough Soul Tools? Do you need me to give you one? Mine can store living things."

Dugu Bo took out a small bag and shook it.

"No need. Keep it for yourself." Li Xun knew that the small bag in Dugu Bo's hand was the famous Ruyi Qiankun Bag. Still, he raised his wrist and shook his gold-thread bracelet.

On second thought, Dugu Bo gave an embarrassed smile and put away the Ruyi Qiankun Bag in his hand.

He truly could not compare luxury goods with the family of the richest man.

"Let's go. I want to see what mysteries this place holds." Dugu Bo hurried forward a few steps.

He had guarded this place in vain for so many years. Today, no matter what, he wanted to see just how many treasures were here that he did not recognize.

"Grandpa Dugu, this flower is called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Its effect is..." Li Xun pointed at a chrysanthemum with a velvety center and explained it to Dugu Bo.

"It actually has such miraculous effects!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in amazement.

"Grandpa Dugu, this one is called Aromatic Silk Beauty." Li Xun pointed at a pale yellow tulip.

Dugu Bo slapped his palm. "I knew from the start that it was extraordinary!"

"This one is called Narcissus Jade Bone..." Li Xun pointed at it.

"Good stuff!" Dugu Bo smiled.

"This is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower." Li Xun stepped forward and plucked it directly.

"Not bad." Dugu Bo's smile faded as he nodded.

"This is the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid." Li Xun glanced slightly at Dugu Bo's expression.

"Good..."

The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

"..."

Dugu Bo fell silent.

He felt that he should not have come along.

For all these years, he had been guarding so many miraculous Immortal Grades without realizing it. If Li Xun had not explained them to him today, who knew who would have benefited from this place after his death.

"Grandpa Dugu, this Immortal Grade is called the Blood Swan Kiss."

Just as Dugu Bo was filled with regret, Li Xun pointed at a crystalline snow-white plant.

"This Immortal Grade has no nourishing effects."

Li Xun took out two pieces of cloth prepared in advance from his Soul Tool and wrapped his hands tightly.

He then ran to the upwind side before carefully picking the Blood Swan Kiss. "Its effect is to amplify poison by hundreds or thousands of times."

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up as he stared intensely at the Immortal Grade shaped like a swan's neck. "Kid, if I take this Immortal Grade, wouldn't I become invincible in the world?"

His Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was already one of the deadliest poisons in the world. He did not even dare imagine it being enhanced hundreds or thousands of times.

"Grandpa Dugu, forget about being invincible. I'm afraid that if you carry this Immortal Grade while standing downwind and so much as smell a bit of pollen, I won't even be able to collect your corpse."
