"Ice and fire, both were ultimate attributes. It was said that once flames and ice reached a certain level, they became completely immune to poison.

Uncle Bo and Xin Ge both used poison. If you ate these two Immortal Grade Herbs, wouldn't that cripple your poison arts?

And I have the Dark Attribute. I'm going all the way down the path of darkness. Adding fire and ice attributes might just blow me up.

Only Uncle Yu can eat these two herbs. Uncle Yu has the Wind Attribute, which works with both ice and fire. He's the most suitable one to take them."

Chen Xilin explained it to everyone. These Icefire Immortal Grasses seemed capable of granting extremely high fire and ice resistance, and entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could also temper the body.

It seemed to be called Icefire Body Tempering. It sounded rather exaggerated, but Chen Xilin felt it would be best for Feng Qingyu to take them. His defense was not particularly strong, and they could both improve his physical condition and further enhance his talent.

"How do I eat them?" Feng Qingyu asked doubtfully.

"Uh... let me think." Chen Xilin sat down on the spot and began recalling the details.

"Idiot, just eat both of them together." A crisp voice sounded by Chen Xilin's ear.

"Hm? Dragon Sister, you're awake?" Chen Xilin transmitted his voice.

"Mm, I'm awake. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is beneficial to my soul body, so I woke up early. Don't interrupt!

That red one is called Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the white one is called Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Both can be considered Immortal Grade Herbs. You have to eat them together to balance their medicinal effects.

You must finish them within ten seconds, then enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper your body. You can't be a moment late.

That said, you're incredibly lucky to have found a legendary treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. What good fortune."

Zi Ling sighed.

"Oh, okay!"

Chen Xilin looked at Feng Qingyu and said, "Uncle Yu, put down your valuables first. I'll pick those two herbs for you later. You have to eat them within ten seconds, then jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Feng Qingyu nodded. "Alright!" He then began removing his Storage Spirit Tool, leaving behind a set of clothes and placing them at the side. He stood at the very edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, readying himself.

"Phew—" Chen Xilin took a deep breath. His arms transformed into dragon arms as he plucked the Infernal Delicate Apricot at incredible speed, then picked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and pressed the two Immortal Grasses together.

Once the two Immortal Grasses came together, their hot and cold auras vanished at the same time.

A faint red glow enveloped the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

"Quick!" Chen Xilin shouted.

Feng Qingyu opened his mouth wide and swallowed the two Immortal Grade Herbs.

They melted the instant they entered his mouth, turning into liquid and flowing down his throat. Feng Qingyu felt saliva welling beneath his tongue as a refreshing fragrance filled his mouth.

"They taste really good!" Feng Qingyu exclaimed.

After only a few breaths, Feng Qingyu's body shuddered violently. A layer of ice-blue rose directly from his feet, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body had turned blue.

Immediately afterward, another layer of red rose over him. At that moment, Feng Qingyu looked like a freshly boiled shrimp.

Blue and red alternated across his body, creating an extremely bizarre sight.

"Damn it!" Chen Xilin kicked Feng Qingyu into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then shouted,

"Uncle Yu, remember to circulate the Muscle Tendon Classic and digest the two Immortal Grasses! Endure it, and you'll have the potential to become a Peak Douluo, perhaps even a Peerless Douluo!"

Feng Qingyu could not speak, but he heard Chen Xilin's words. After entering the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he began circulating the Muscle Tendon Classic. Yet he suddenly found that the spring water was not particularly painful at all. It was actually quite comfortable.

Feng Qingyu began circulating the Muscle Tendon Classic, using the Yin Spring and Yang Spring to break through to the White Tier Futu.

"Xiao Lin, pick something out for my son and me too." Dugu Bo slung an arm around Chen Xilin's shoulders.

"Sure, let me take a look." Chen Xilin called out to Big Sister Zi Ling in his mind and asked for her help.

"Jade Phosphor Snake Spirit Masters. One of them, that Spirit Douluo, already shows signs of evolving into a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. I presume that after he absorbs another snake-type Soul Ring, he should be able to complete his Martial Soul Evolution.

Then let This King take a look. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—I've never seen the real thing before. Xiao Lin, go that way. Yes, yes."

Zi Ling began directing Chen Xilin deeper into the Herb Garden.

"Do you see that yellow gourd? It's an Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. It possesses the power of Earth Dragon Turn Over and can purify dragon bloodlines. You don't need it.

This King has already purified your Dark Holy Dragon bloodline into that of a true pureblood Black Dragon, so you don't need the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd for further purification. Besides, adding another earth attribute wouldn't look good.

So you can give this to your friend. But there's only one."

Chen Xilin picked up the golden gourd. After picking it up, he instinctively gave it a knock. Nice sound. It was a good gourd indeed!

Holding the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Chen Xilin walked over to Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin. Both father and son sensed the delight of their Martial Souls. This strange gourd held a special attraction for them.

"Uncle Bo, Brother Xin, this is an Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. It possesses the power of Earth Dragon Turn Over and has the earth attribute. Fusing with it will increase the user's control over the power of the earth.

It can also purify the bloodline of sub-dragon species Martial Souls. So, which of you plans to eat it first?"

Faced with Chen Xilin's question, Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"Give it to Xin'er."

"Give it to Father."

Chen Xilin: ...

"Xin'er, you're still young. Eat this and improve your talent, then surpass your father in the future," Dugu Bo earnestly advised.

"No, Father. You're about to become a Titled Douluo. You should take it first and break through to Titled Douluo as soon as possible. That's what matters."

The father and son of the Dugu family turned on each other in an instant. One insisted it was for the other's own good, while the other claimed he was thinking of his father. Neither was willing to yield.

"Big Sister Zi Ling, are there any other Immortal Grade Herbs suitable for them? Watching them argue like this is giving me a headache," Chen Xilin said in his mind.

"Yes. Do you see that green flower beside the Yin Spring that looks like a snake? It's called the Snake Marrow Bone Shedding Flower. However, this flower is poisonous. Eating it is harmful to the body and comes with some side effects.

But that Spirit Douluo friend of yours already possesses an extreme poison, and This King can see that all the poison in his body has condensed into a bead. He should be fine after eating it."

Zi Ling said, stroking her chin.

Chen Xilin went and plucked the Snake Marrow Bone Shedding Flower, then handed it to Dugu Bo.

"Alright, Uncle Bo, this one is for you. The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd goes to Brother Xin." Chen Xilin handed the two Heaven and Earth Treasures to Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin.

"Brother Xin, just eat the flesh inside the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. Don't eat the skin. Afterward, cultivate on the spot and digest its medicinal power.

Uncle Bo, chew up and swallow the entire Snake Marrow Bone Shedding Flower. But it contains an intense poison. When it takes effect, your entire body will be in agonizing pain.

If you endure it, you'll be reborn. If you can't... well, you should know.

After taking it, circulate the Inner Core Method and merge the poison into your Poison Core. Not only will it increase your Soul Power, it can also strengthen your Snake Venom. Your Martial Soul may even complete its evolution.

In the future, the continent will have a Titled Douluo who reigns supreme through poison."

Dugu Bo said, "May your words come true."

After hearing Chen Xilin's explanation, Dugu Bo held the emerald-green Snake Marrow Bone Shedding Flower in his hands. He found that this flower also held a powerful attraction for him.

Hearing that it would cause unbearable pain throughout his body and even carried the risk of death, Dugu Bo hesitated somewhat. But after glancing at his son, his gaze became resolute. He swallowed it at once, then sat down to cultivate.

"Xiao Lin, could you pick an herb for Yan'er as well?" Dugu Xin asked, looking at the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd in his hand and gathering his courage.

"Of course. This treasure land belongs to Uncle Bo. I just happen to know about it. Wait here while I look," Chen Xilin said, turning to search for an Immortal Grade Herb suitable for Li Feiyan.
