Absorbing Two Great Immortal Herbs—Could He Even Absorb Spring Water to Enhance His Attribute Power? (Please Follow Read)

"Cough, cough." Dugu Bo gave an awkward smile at Ju Hua Guan's sharp critique, then suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression turning serious. "Right, you people from Spirit Hall came to the Heaven Dou Royal Family this time to discuss this year's Soul Master Subsidy Amount, didn't you?"

"Yes." Ju Hua Guan nodded.

"Then there's something I need to tell you. Starting this year, Xue Ye is somewhat unwilling to pay so much. He might even be unwilling to pay at all. He thinks that they give Spirit Hall so much money every year, yet they haven't gained many Genius Soul Masters. He thinks the deal isn't worth it. So this year, he specifically notified the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. In other words, Ning Fengzhi and either Chen Xin or Gu Rong will be there. You should prepare yourselves mentally."

Ju Hua Guan smiled. "What, do they want to have a fight or something? Old Poison, if it comes to blows, you'll have to Stand On Our Side."

Dugu Bo pondered briefly before saying, "Fine. But before that, I need to take my Granddaughter to a Safe Place. If a real fight breaks out, I'm afraid she might get caught up in it."

Even if there was only a One in Ten Thousand chance, he did not want Dugu Yan to Encounter Danger.

After all, with just the two of them as Titled Douluos, they probably would not gain any advantage against Ning Fengzhi and Sword Dust Heart.

Based on his guess, the one accompanying Ning Fengzhi this time was most likely Sword Dust Heart.

Perhaps because Sword Dust Heart had the highest cultivation and the strongest offensive power, Ning Fengzhi was more likely to keep Chen Xin by his side, while Gu Rong was better suited for defense and Guard The Sect.

"Then how about we rest for a bit before helping your parents obtain their Eighth Soul Rings?" Yue Guan looked at Hu Bai with a smile.

Hu Bai nodded first, then shook his head. "Uncle Yue, I still need to Absorb Two Great Immortal Herbs. Those two Immortal Herbs will help me greatly. They should significantly improve my control over the Fire Element and ice—Water—element. I might even gain control over Ultimate Attributes because of them."

Of course, Hu Bai was joking about that last part. No matter how he tried to improve his Absorption Rate, it was impossible for him to completely absorb the attributes of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Even if he completely absorbed them, it did not necessarily mean he would gain control over Ultimate Attributes.

"Which two do you want?" Yue Guan looked around in confusion. Most of the Immortal Herbs with names had already been Put Away, though some were still growing.

Suddenly, Yue Guan turned his gaze toward the two Immortal Herbs growing on either side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, one red and one blue, radiating extreme heat and extreme cold.

He did not recognize those two Immortal Herbs either, but one look was enough to tell that both were highly poisonous. If they were consumed...

Hu Bai saw the concern in Yue Guan's eyes and smiled. "Uncle Yue, I won't do anything I'm not sure about. Do this later, then I'll do that..."

Hu Bai explained his plan to everyone. Xie Tian and Hu Leyao both frowned deeply, but neither said anything. This was their son's decision, and they supported him!

Soon, Yue Guan walked to the middle of the Lakeshore of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. He released the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul and condensed two sharp blades from Singular Velvet Qi. Controlling them with Soul Power, he sent them flying in opposite directions, precisely cutting off the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass above their roots. Then, using inertia, he made the two Immortal Herbs collide in midair above the center of the lake.

The clash between Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire temporarily neutralized the ice poison and fire poison within the two Immortal Herbs.

Yue Guan carefully wrapped the two Immortal Herbs in Soul Power and passed them to Hu Bai.

As for the two blades that had briefly touched the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, one had been partially melted by the high temperature, while a layer of frost had formed over the other's surface.

Even Yue Guan could not help feeling pleasantly surprised. This Attribute Power... was far too concentrated. Even his Evolved blades were at risk of melting and freezing!

If Hu Bai could absorb them successfully, did that mean he would no longer need to obtain Fire Attribute and ice-attribute Soul Rings in the future?

The answer was naturally no. Soul Rings could still provide boosts to the corresponding attributes.

Hu Bai did not hesitate at all. Taking the two Immortal Herbs, he swallowed them in large mouthfuls, then leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, using the Attribute Power of the lake water to help refine them!

As soon as the two Immortal Herbs entered his stomach, Hu Bai immediately felt miserable. His body alternated between burning hot and freezing cold. He did his best to control his body and keep himself at a suitable position within the lake. The closer he went toward the bottom, the more severe the Alternating Cold and Heat became. It was not something he could endure at his current level.

If he remembered correctly, the corpses of the Ice Fire Dragon King were below. The Ice Fire Dragon King had fallen for so many years that they might no longer have Soul Rings, but their Soul Bones should still be there.

Once he became a Titled Douluo in the future, he would definitely return to retrieve those two Divine Soul Bones!

If he could control Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice, then by all logic, he could enter the bottom of the lake. But that would be useless. Though the Ice Fire Dragon King had fallen, their Dragon Souls should still remain. They were not something a Little Brat like him could Deal With.

Gradually, amid the agony of these two opposing extremes, Hu Bai entered an Ethereal State once more. Behind him, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Martial Soul faintly emerged, its nine Snow White Tails wrapping around him.

Hu Bai suddenly felt that his efficiency in extracting the attributes of the two Immortal Herbs had increased considerably, and it was not only internal.

Externally, the Attribute Power contained within the spring water was also being continuously absorbed by him!

Hu Bai instantly realized that absorbing rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could also strengthen one's control over attributes!

But he quickly became disappointed again. This was Douluo, not some other Fantasy World. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were pitifully scarce in Douluo.

Aside from the Immortal Herbs near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, encountering anything else depended on luck. Even Spirit Hall could not help with that.

Gradually, One Day and One Night passed.

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao had been guarding the shore the entire time. Seeing that so much time had passed, they became anxious. "Elder Ju, senior Poison Douluo, do you think our son will be alright?"

Yue Guan shook his head. "Don't worry. I can sense that Hu Bai is still alive, and I don't know whether you've noticed, but the Attribute Power in this lake water is also being absorbed!"

This made Yue Guan secretly look forward to it. Once Hu Bai emerged from seclusion this time, he would most likely gain control over the Legendary Ultimate Attribute, right?

He had not known about Ultimate Attributes before, but after spending so much time with Hu Bai, he had naturally been educated on the subject.

"There's movement!" Yue Guan warned.

The next moment, a large number of Bubbles surged across the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. A smooth Figure leaped out of the lake water and Landed On The Ground.
