The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Ice and Fire Body Tempering

"What!" Dugu Bo's expression turned grim. This brat was really showing him no respect.

"Young friend, please speak."

Chen Chu stepped forward, poured him a cup of hot tea, and said slowly, "I've heard that Your Excellency Dugu possesses a treasure land, which is quite extraordinary. Is this true?"

"Hmm?" Dugu Bo looked at him with surprise and suspicion. Could this brat be talking about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye? How did he find out? No one else knows about this besides me.

"Young friend, you are indeed quite resourceful to know even this old man's secret. That's right, I did find a Blessed Land where ice and fire converge in my early years. It is indeed a good place for cultivation. What help do you need from me?"

If this guy wants to cultivate there, it's not a big problem. I could even get closer to him. Someone who can command such a powerful individual must have considerable backing. I could plan something for Yan Yan.

"Poison Douluo, Your Excellency, you only need to lead the way. You don't need to do anything else. I will remember this favor."

Chen Chu stood up, walked to Dugu Bo's side, patted his shoulder, and said seriously.

After all, I took his gold mountain. We have a bit of karma. Perhaps I can take out an Immortal Herb to help Dugu Yan resolve the flaws in her Martial Soul, allowing the Dugu family's Martial Soul to be passed down. This action should be enough to resolve the karma.

"In that case, young friend and this senior, please follow me. This place is not in Heaven Dou City, but in the Sunset Forest."

Dugu Bo took out a sound-recording stone, gave his granddaughter some instructions, and then led the two towards the Sunset Forest.

Along the way, Dugu Bo, to find something to talk about, gave them a detailed introduction to the area.

"This place is the ultimate realm where the spiritual essence of heaven and earth condenses. One side is a blazing inferno of rolling lava, where every inch of air is filled with scorching spiritual energy, nurturing rare treasures like the Blazing Apricot and Fire Spirit Grass; the other side is a profound ice abyss sealed for thousands of feet, where biting cold air solidifies and does not dissipate, growing rare treasures like the Ice Soul Flower and Cold Marrow Ganoderma. They are truly extraordinary."

These two realms of ice and fire are separated by an invisible boundary, yet they merge and coexist at the junction, a true marvel of the mortal world.

The treasure land is also surrounded by mountains, forming its own barrier, isolating it from the clamor and impurities of the outside world, allowing only the purest Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth to circulate here. Whether it's for Soul Masters to cultivate, Soul Beasts to advance, or rare flowers and grasses to grow and mature, they can all gain benefits far exceeding those outside by a hundredfold in this place, truly a unique land of creation.

As they spoke, the group arrived deep in the Sunset Forest. After passing through the poisonous miasma set up by Dugu Bo, they reached the most magical and fortuitous place on this continent.

"Ao Tian, go spar with Your Excellency Dugu outside. I have some urgent matters to attend to. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."

After Chen Chu entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, his demeanor and expression instantly changed. He signaled Ao Tian to take Dugu Bo outside.

Upon hearing this, Ao Tian, regardless of whether Dugu Bo was willing or not, grabbed him by the shoulder and leaped out of the valley.

Once he was alone, he took out the comprehensive Immortal Herb Notes he had meticulously written for about two months. Following the diagrams and descriptions, he packed all the useful medicinal herbs.

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, a rare cold-type flower, a rare potent poison, it can make one's heart feel cold and numb, paralyzing the central nervous system. When taken with Infernal Delicate Apricot, it can make the user immune to water and fire.

Today, I'll start with you two. Chen Chu stripped off his clothes, extracted these two Immortal Herbs with the Jade Knife, and swallowed them in one gulp. Feeling the extreme heat and cold pain in his body, he didn't hesitate any longer and plunged into the spring water that seemed to be a mixture of ice and fire.

As soon as the spring water covered his chest, Chen Chu felt two extreme forces collide violently within his body. The scorching spring water made his blood boil, and just as this intense heat passed, the icy cold power followed closely, roaming wildly through his limbs and bones.

Chen Chu gritted his teeth, cold sweat instantly covering his forehead. He didn't even let out a muffled groan. The pain was even more intense than he had anticipated. The fire poison from the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the ice poison from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass were incompatible within his body. One sought to incinerate his internal organs, while the other sought to freeze his bones and meridians. The pain generated when the two forces converged in his Dantian was unbearable for ordinary people.

I must guard my mind and stay conscious. Chen Chu forced himself to maintain his consciousness and circulated his Soul Power according to the body-tempering mental technique he had memorized. However, as soon as he mobilized a trace of Soul Power, it was instantly scattered by the ice and fire energies, which only intensified the fire poison and the ice coldness.

He could clearly feel that the skin on his arm had turned an abnormal reddish-brown, while a thin layer of ice crystals had formed on his lower leg. Two extreme states appeared on his body simultaneously, bizarre and painful.

The spring water churned with the collision of forces within his body, sometimes emitting scorching bubbles, sometimes forming fine ice shards. Chen Chu's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Just a little longer. He chanted inwardly, his eyes tightly closed. Suddenly, a faint stinging sensation came from within his body. After colliding to their extreme, the two toxins actually showed signs of merging.

Chen Chu seized this opportunity and unhesitatingly mobilized all his remaining Soul Power, attempting to guide this merging force to flow through his meridians.

However, as soon as he tried, even more intense pain swept over him. The ice and fire power formed by the merger rampaged through his meridians, tearing the flesh and blood wherever it passed.

His consciousness began to blur, and images of his past cultivation flashed before his eyes. I can't give up! Chen Chu shook his head violently, forcibly pulling back his scattered mind.

Just then, the aura of the Innate Spiritual Liquid from the spring water slowly seeped into his body. This spiritual liquid was gentle yet extremely resilient, nourishing the damaged meridians like spring rain. Chen Chu seized this rare opportunity, adjusted his breathing, allowing the spiritual liquid to cooperate with the ice and fire power, gradually repairing the damaged meridians and allowing the ice and fire energies to gradually adapt to each other's existence.

Time passed slowly. The reddish-brown and ice crystals on Chen Chu's body gradually faded, replaced by a fine layer of sweat. His breathing gradually stabilized, and the ice and fire power within his body no longer clashed but flowed slowly along his meridians, like two docile streams.

The body tempering had passed the most dangerous stage. Now, he only needed to guide the ice and fire power to completely integrate into himself. Chen Chu retracted his Soul Power and devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining. The churning of the spring water gradually subsided, and the Blessed Land fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps a few days, Chen Chu suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of interwoven gold-red and deep blue light flickering within them.

"Ice and Fire Body Tempering, immunity to water and fire, it's done!"

Chen Chu was overjoyed. These Immortal Herbs were indeed powerful, giving him such a significant boost. It was worth all the effort he had put into coming to this place.

"I'll check the specific changes after I get out. There's still one important thing to do now." Chen Chu flipped over and swam directly towards the bottom of the spring. He knew that at the bottom of this spring lay a great treasure!
