Great Bright Vermilion Bird

Ji Wushuang dove into the Spring Water once more.

This time, he was no longer absorbing its energy, and the pressure from before did not appear again.

His body had already adapted to the power of the Yang Spring and Yin Spring.

Even the Ice and Fire Power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could not harm him. Could those Spirit Masters with ice and fire attributes harm him in the future?

Those golden eyes could see clearly even within the Spring Water, completely unaffected.

"My idea worked."

"I just wonder how powerful these Fiery Golden Eyes are."

The corners of Ji Wushuang's lips curled upward slightly.

The Spring Water was bottomless, and as he continued descending, the space below grew wider and wider.

After a long while, Ji Wushuang felt that he had descended a full thirty thousand meters before reaching the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The sight before him left him utterly shocked.

Two enormous Dragon Bones, each so vast that their ends could not be seen at a glance, rested directly below. One was icy blue, the other crimson red, exactly matching the colors of the Spring Water. Or perhaps the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had originated from these two Dragon Bones.

Just as Ji Wushuang was at a loss for what to do next.

The two Dragon Bones suddenly began to glow. A ball of light separated from each of them and shot rapidly toward Ji Wushuang, attaching itself to his left and right arms.

A crimson Spirit Bone covered his right arm. As it fused with him, it even merged with the Titan Giant Ape Right Palm Bone in his right hand, transforming it crimson as well. Only faint streams of golden light flowed along his right arm.

The icy-blue Spirit Bone on the other side was the same. As it fused with his left arm, it connected with the Titan Giant Ape Left Palm Bone as well.

Ji Wushuang could not suppress his delight.

"Screech—"

A phoenix cry suddenly rang out.

Like Tianzhan before it, the Peerless Sword Casket appeared on its own without Ji Wushuang's control. Twelve flying swords instantly flew from their sheaths, yet they were in complete disarray, as though fleeing.

At the center, the Great Bright Vermilion Bird stirred restlessly, strands of flames spilling out wildly.

Ji Wushuang furrowed his sword-like brows.

Over the years, he had always harbored a degree of apprehension toward the Great Bright Vermilion Bird.

He still was not confident that he could wield this Demonic Sword.

Yet for some unknown reason.

It had begun to run wild beyond his control.

"Damn it!"

"How could I be afraid of a mere sword!"

"Rise!"

Ji Wushuang struck out with his palm.

The Peerless Sword Casket trembled violently.

The next moment.

A phoenix wreathed in blazing fire burst from the Peerless Sword Casket and swam through the Spring Water, its cries ringing out without end.

The other twelve swords seemed to have received a summons and circled around the "phoenix" in unison.

"Get over here!"

Ji Wushuang reached out and grabbed.

The Wushuang Thirteen Swords flew toward Ji Wushuang together.

"Buzz!"

Ji Wushuang abruptly seized the Great Bright Vermilion Bird, then ran his left hand across its blade, leaving a bloody cut.

After being tempered by the Spirit Bones and ice and fire, his body had become unimaginably powerful, yet the Great Bright Vermilion Bird still sliced him open with ease.

After drinking Ji Wushuang's blood, the Great Bright Vermilion Bird gradually calmed down. However, a crimson gleam appeared in Ji Wushuang's eyes.

"Slash!"

Ji Wushuang gripped the Great Bright Vermilion Bird tightly and swung his sword.

In an instant.

The sword aura transformed into a phoenix and shot straight upward toward the surface of the Spring Water.

It was precisely after unleashing this strike.

That the red glow in Ji Wushuang's eyes gradually faded, and the Great Bright Vermilion Bird completely settled down as well.

"I know you're extraordinary."

"But why were you so worked up just because I absorbed a Spirit Bone?"

"Hmph."

Ji Wushuang sheathed his sword. The other twelve flying swords also flew back into their sheaths, while the Peerless Sword Casket and Spirit Rings disappeared.

"Thank you."

Ji Wushuang glanced at the two Dragon King Corpses before swimming toward the shore.

This harvest had far exceeded his expectations.

By the shore.

Dugu Bo had already been unable to hold himself back and had come over to investigate.

Yet Ji Wushuang was nowhere to be seen.

That left him both anxious and worried.

"It's over! It's over! This is bad!"

"I just hope no one is protecting him!"

Dugu Bo warily looked around.

He was deeply afraid that some expert far stronger than himself might be lurking in the shadows, watching all along.

"Boom!"

The instant Ji Wushuang burst from the water, he sent towering waves splashing into the air.

Dugu Bo jumped in fright.

Seeing the Spring Water spraying everywhere, he immediately flashed aside to avoid it.

When he saw Ji Wushuang floating in midair, completely naked, he could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Then.

He remembered that Ji Wushuang had flown out of the Spring Water, and his expression suddenly changed.

"This... this is impossible!"

"Even I can't approach it easily, yet he actually went in!"

"This, this, this..."

Ji Wushuang also noticed Dugu Bo on the shore. At the same time, he realized that his clothes had long since been reduced to ashes by the Ice and Fire Power. Ignoring Dugu Bo's astonished stare, he picked up the Soul Tool he had left on the ground, took out a set of purple robes, and put them on.

"Not bad capital you've got there!"

"Your skin's even fairer than my granddaughter's!"

Dugu Bo teased.

"Hasn't it been less than half a day?"

"What brings Senior Dugu here?"

Ji Wushuang asked.

"I was just looking around!" Dugu Bo snorted and turned to leave.

However, at that moment.

He finally noticed that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison on Ji Wushuang's body had completely vanished.

"You... you actually broke my Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison in such a short time!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wushuang tossed Dugu Bo a pill—the one he had previously used to counter the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison—and said, "What do you think of this medicine, Senior?"

Dugu Bo caught the pill, frowned, and sniffed it before asking, "You used this to break my Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison?"

Ji Wushuang said, "That's right."

Dugu Bo compared the antidote he had developed with the one Ji Wushuang had given him and frowned. "Will this medicine work on me? Are you planning to use this pill to cure my poison?"

Ji Wushuang said, "This pill will indeed work on you, and it can indeed neutralize the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison in your body."

"But beyond that, if you still wish to continue cultivating, you must channel the toxins produced through future cultivation into your Spirit Bones. That way, you will no longer be plunged into endless agony."

Dugu Bo frowned and asked, "Why do that? If I transfer the toxins into my Spirit Bones, they won't harm my body?"

"Yes."

"It's that simple?" Dugu Bo was both shocked and doubtful.

The poison that had plagued him for years and had even afflicted his descendants could be resolved so easily?

Ji Wushuang shook his head. "Of course not. You'll also need to take the pills I prepare during the process."

"The poison in your body has accumulated beyond recovery and is extremely potent. It must be handled carefully, and you will need a long period of treatment and recuperation."

"Although the snake venom in your granddaughter's body is still weak, it is more deeply rooted than yours and even harder to deal with."

"The waves behind drive on those before them. This old man believes you can save my granddaughter and me. I'm counting on you." Dugu Bo smiled.

Ji Wushuang said, "I promised you that I would give her a healthy body, and I will keep my word. But don't forget our agreement."

"Once this is done, I want all the herbs here. That is the first condition. Second, you, Dugu Bo, cannot become an enemy of Spirit Hall. Third, I haven't decided yet. We'll discuss it later."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.
