Dugu Bo: "Your Majesty, H-He-He Jumped into the Spring to Kill Himself?"
After eating one of the Immortal Herb, Lin Qingmo walked to another Immortal Herb that was entirely golden and shaped like a chrysanthemum.
Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum)
This Immortal Herb emitted a faint golden light, its petals unfolding layer by layer, as if crafted from pure gold.
Lin Qingmo plucked a flower petal and popped it into her mouth.
The petals melted in the mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed down the throat.
Immediately afterwards, a surge of intense energy exploded within my body!
It felt as if my limbs and bones were being soaked in a hot spring, and every cell was cheering with joy.
The muscles trembled slightly, and the bones made crisp cracking sounds, as if undergoing some kind of transformation.
His already extraordinary physique was further enhanced by this energy, becoming even more well-proportioned and robust.
A faint golden sheen appeared on the surface of the skin.
"This is the prototype of Indestructible Diamond Body..."
Lin Qingmo clenched his fist, clearly feeling the increase in strength.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum can strengthen the body and lay the foundation for Indestructible Diamond Body body.
Although it's still far from being truly Indestructible Diamond Body.
But their starting point was already far higher than that of the vast majority of Soul Master.
After making these preparations, Lin Qingmo took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the two supreme immortal Immortal Herb.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
The Infernal Delicate Apricot.
He walked to the edge of the icy spring and reached out to pluck the translucent, icy blue Immortal Herb.
The moment my fingertips touched the petals, a bone-chilling cold spread up my arm, and a layer of white frost quickly condensed on my skin.
"Strong enough!"
Lin Qingmo grinned.
He quickly walked to the fire spring and plucked the Lie Yan Immortal Herb.
The intense heat hit me; holding it in my hands felt like holding a ball of fire.
My left hand was icy cold, while my right hand was burning hot.
The clash of two extreme energies in his arm made his face turn pale.
But Lin Qingmo did not hesitate.
He opened his mouth and stuffed two Immortal Herb inside at the same time!
"Snap!"
The sound of ice crystals shattering and the sensation of flames burning exploded simultaneously in my mouth.
An extremely cold and an extremely hot energy, like two furious dragons, rushed into his body through his throat.
In an instant, a raging torrent surged through his meridians!
"Hiss--!"
Lin Qingmo gasped, his whole body trembling violently.
The left side of my body felt as if it had been thrown into Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave, and my blood was about to freeze.
His right side, however, felt as if he had been thrown into a pool of lava; his skin was bright red and steam was rising from it.
Ice and fire clashed wildly within his body, sending a tearing, excruciating pain through his meridians.
It felt like someone was stirring inside my body with an ice pick and a branding iron.
"Now!"
Lin Qingmo endured the excruciating pain, gritted his teeth, and leaped with all his might!
"Thump!"
Water splashed everywhere.
He jumped into the central waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Here, icy spring water and scorching lava meet, creating a bizarrely temperature-controlled area.
As soon as he entered the water, Lin Qingmo felt two even more powerful energies surging in from the outside!
The extreme chill of the icy spring and the scorching Lie Yan of the fiery spring surged into my body through my pores like a tide.
These three energies (the energy of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb within the body, and the energy of the Ice and Fire Spring Water from the outside world) collided and intertwined wildly within the body.
"Ugh!"
Lin Qingmo finally couldn't help but let out a low growl.
He sank completely into the water, with only his head above water.
Frost formed on his left cheek, while his right cheek steamed with heat.
Ice and fire achieved a strange balance in him.
Pain!
Indescribable pain!
But amidst this extreme pain, Lin Qingmo could clearly feel his body undergoing a transformation.
After being torn apart, the meridians reassemble, becoming wider and stronger.
The bones, tempered by ice and fire, faintly gleamed with a jade-like luster.
Muscle fibers are repeatedly destroyed and regenerated, each fiber containing astonishing power.
The red and blue light from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well shone brightly, making the boy in the water appear like Deity.
This transformation has only just begun.
"Holy crap! Has the Young Master gone mad?!"
In the shadows, Dugu Bo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight, and he was so frightened he almost lost his soul.
He watched as Lin Qingmo, like a dumpling being dropped into a pot, plunged into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with a "plop," and his heart skipped a beat.
This isn't a hot spring, my little darling!
Below them, on one side, is Ultimate Ice capable of freezing even Soul Bone to dust; on the other side, is a terrifying Blazing Spring that can instantly vaporize even refined iron.
Two extreme energies twisted together, forming this bizarre Mandarin Duck Pot two separate broths.
He, the Poison Douluo, is known as the best poison master in the world.
They kept their distance from the pool of water, at most daring to catch a whiff of its water nearby.
How dare this kid, with his tiny frame that barely qualifies him as a Soul Elder, jump right in!
Do you think you have too much time on your hands?
"No, we have to save them!"
Dugu Bo panicked, and with a flash of dark green light, he rushed over to rescue the person.
He couldn't let His Holiness the Pope's precious disciple turn to dust right under his nose.
Most importantly, this kid knows how to cure him and Yanyan of the poison!
But another figure was faster than him.
With a flick of his black robe, as if it were just a casual step, he firmly blocked the way in front of him.
It's His Holiness the Pope!
"Your His Holiness the Pope! The Young Master jumped in! That's the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, people will die there!"
Dugu Bo's voice changed from anxiety, and he spoke rapidly, like a machine gun.
He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, the kid in the water would be nothing but a skeleton.
"..."
Bibi Dong's gaze remained fixed on the faintly visible figure in the center of the pool.
Her profile appeared somewhat hazy in the misty steam.
His purple eyes were as deep as the night sky, churning with complex emotions.
There are definitely concerns.
Even she was horrified when she saw the pool of water.
But more than anything, it's a kind of blind trust.
"What's the panic?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable calmness that instantly suppressed all of Dugu Bo's anxiety.
"A-Qing always does things his way; he wouldn't risk his life."
"Can..."
Dugu Bo wanted to say something more.
"No buts."
Bibi Dong tilted her head slightly and glanced at him.
That gaze was calm and expressionless, yet it sent a chill down Dugu Bo.
"Since he dared to jump, he must have been confident. You can go now; I'll keep watch here."
Her words were like a spell that could freeze you in place.
Dugu Bo opened his mouth,
I looked into the water.
The boy was enveloped in icy blue and crimson energy, his expression contorted in pain, and his body twitching slightly.
But... there was indeed no sign of it dissolving instantly.
The skin's surface subtly glowed, as if undergoing some kind of difficult transformation.
His Holiness the Pope has said so.
And it seems the Young Master can actually hold on for the time being?
Dugu Bo was torn between his inner thoughts and his own conscience.
On one hand, there's the responsibility and the worry.
On one side is the Pope's majesty and his concern for his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
The Soul Bone bestowed by His Majesty could just cure the poison from Yanyan's Martial Soul backlash, and he couldn't wait to fly back immediately.
After much hesitation, he finally lowered his head.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."
He bowed deeply.
He glanced worriedly at the pool one last time before transforming into a green shadow and disappearing into the depths of the misty Herb Garden.
I'll come back and check on things quickly after I've finished my business!
That's what he was thinking.
