He mobilized his soul power and carefully infused the immortal herb's juice into Dugu Bo's body.
At the same time, he had Dugu Bo guide his own soul power to use the herb's power to neutralize the toxins within him.
At first, Dugu Bo only felt a warm current flowing through his body, with no discomfort.
But as the herb's power spread throughout his body, it began to clash violently with the toxins inside him.
Dugu Bo was immediately struck by searing pain, as though every meridian in his body were being scorched by flames and frozen by ice.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans formed on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Endure it. This is the critical moment!"
Seeing this, Ling Feng shouted in a low voice.
Dugu Bo clenched his teeth and silently endured the inhuman pain.
He knew that only by persevering now would he have any chance of escaping the torment that had plagued him for so many years.
Second by second, the toxins within Dugu Bo's body were gradually purged through Ling Feng's efforts and converted into soul power.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, which had once shaken the entire soul master world, unexpectedly manifested on its own beyond his control. A terrifying aura that made one's blood run cold spread outward like raging waves.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bottleneck that had restrained Dugu Bo for so long shattered like broken glass.
His vast soul power broke free from its restraints and surged upward with near-madness.
Level eighty-nine...
Level ninety...
His Soul Power Level directly crossed into the realm of a Titled Douluo and continued soaring.
If any soul master from outside had been fortunate enough to witness this shocking scene, their eyes would surely have nearly popped out of their sockets.
On the long road of soul master cultivation, the further one progressed, the more exponentially difficult it became.
Especially at the Titled Douluo level, raising one's soul power by a single rank often took years.
Once the medicinal effects of the mysterious immortal herb had been fully absorbed, Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes.
He could clearly sense that the toxins which had ravaged his body for years, clinging to him like maggots to a bone and nearly impossible to remove, had been completely purged.
"How is this possible?"
What thrilled him even more was that he had successfully broken through to become a Titled Douluo.
As for how much he had improved, he would only know after absorbing his Ninth Soul Ring.
For a moment, Dugu Bo was dazed. He rubbed his eyes hard, unable to stop a trace of doubt from rising in his heart. Could I have fallen into some kind of illusion?
However, after several cautious examinations, every result told him beyond doubt that his Soul Power Level had genuinely broken through to level ninety.
After quite some time, Dugu Bo rose to his feet and stared straight at the calm-faced Ling Feng before him.
He understood that the tremendous, rebirth-like transformation he had undergone was all because of the immortal herb Ling Feng had casually tossed to him earlier.
He had simply never expected that this seemingly ordinary immortal herb would possess such heaven-defying effects.
Dugu Bo had roamed the soul master world for decades, yet he had seemingly never encountered any treasure with such terrifying power.
"Thank you!"
A moment later, Dugu Bo's tangled and complicated emotions gradually settled, eventually turning into this single phrase filled with gratitude.
He had already made up his mind to willingly join Soul Ring Pavilion.
Ling Feng waved a hand. "No need to be polite. You are already one of Soul Ring Pavilion's people. Just serve Soul Ring Pavilion well from now on."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly. He understood that from this moment onward, his fate would be tightly bound to Soul Ring Pavilion.
"Let's absorb these two immortal herbs first!"
After resolving the troublesome toxins in Dugu Bo's body, Ling Feng's sharp gaze fixed firmly on the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot growing quietly beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was like a mysterious treasure ground of heaven and earth, and every immortal herb it nurtured was extraordinary.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot were among the finest of them, and they were also one of Ling Feng's main objectives in venturing so deeply into this place.
Ling Feng intended to use the power of these two immortal herbs to temper his physique and push it beyond its current limits.
It would prepare him to absorb soul rings of higher age in the future.
"You two guard the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I'll absorb those two immortal herbs first."
The moment he finished speaking, Ling Feng had already arrived before the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He took a deep breath and slowly released his Void Mirror Martial Soul.
In an instant, a mysterious Space Power rippled out, spreading across a radius of ten li.
A sharp dagger appeared out of thin air in Ling Feng's hand. Then light flickered in his right hand as dense Space Power coiled around it like a spirit serpent.
His gaze sharpened, and the dagger in his hand instantly vanished. When it reappeared, it had precisely severed the seemingly incomparably tough stem of the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
The immortal herb separated from its parent plant and slowly drifted down. Wherever it landed, the ground looked as though it had been scorched by intense heat.
The terrifying fire poison contained within the herb quickly blackened the ground, releasing faint traces of a burnt odor.
Without hesitation, Ling Feng took out another brand-new dagger and repeated the process.
Likewise enhancing it with Space Power, he carefully harvested the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
The moment the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass left where it grew, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly. Wisps of cold air spread outward, while a thin layer of frost formed over the ground.
These two immortal herbs, one fiery and one icy, were the ultimate embodiments of two extremes of ice and fire.
The ice poison and fire poison they contained were domineering and pure, far beyond what ordinary objects could withstand.
Ling Feng's expression turned solemn as soul power continuously surged through his hands, gradually holding the two immortal herbs suspended steadily before him.
He stared at them, a trace of resolve flashing through his eyes. Then he plucked a leaf from each plant and, without the slightest hesitation, placed both leaves into his mouth at once and slowly swallowed them.
In an instant, a violent power of mingled ice and fire surged through his body, as though it were about to tear him apart from within.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth and endured the agonizing pain. A moment later, he leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He began to refine the power of the two immortal herbs with all his might.
From the moment Ling Feng, whose body could withstand a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he did not feel the unbearable agony an ordinary person would have felt, relying on his powerful physique and unyielding will.
Yet the impact of the extreme powers of ice and fire still made him frown deeply and tense every muscle in his body.
After all, the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was far too tyrannical. Even someone as powerful as Dugu Bo did not dare remain within it for long.
One careless mistake, and he could be completely devoured by that power, leaving not even bones behind.
"This is bad!"
After hearing Ling Feng's instructions, Dugu Bo had obediently remained where he was.
But when he saw Ling Feng leap into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without hesitation, his expression changed drastically, his face filled with shock and worry.
His eyes widened, and anxiety flooded his heart. Without thinking, he hurried toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
