Taking the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass

Su Ming then took out one of the two Detox Pills he had refined earlier using his Golden Finger and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"After taking this Detox Pill, you can directly consume this Immortal Herb."

Dugu Yan took the Detox Pill and swallowed it whole. She then picked up the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid from the jade box in Su Ming's hand.

Dugu Yan plucked the petals one by one and put them into her mouth, swallowing the last bite. She then sat down cross-legged and began to refine it.

Seeing that Dugu Yan had consumed the Immortal Herb, Su Ming also prepared to consume the "Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass," which were essential for any traverser.

"Alright, Old Monster, I've chatted with you enough. You can slowly choose between these two methods yourself. I'm going to eat the Immortal Herbs suitable for me now."

When Dugu Bo heard that Su Ming was also going to consume Immortal Herbs, he didn't even turn his head. He stared directly at Dugu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, fearing any accidents.

"Okay, Little Monster, you go ahead."

Su Ming ran directly to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, intending to pick the "Infernal Delicate Apricot" and "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass" nearby. According to the records, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could only be picked with a metal object.

Su Ming used his knife to cut the base of the "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass." The moment it fell, he caught it with a jade box. He then brought the "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass" next to the "Infernal Delicate Apricot," allowing their powers to counteract each other, thus successfully picking both Immortal Herbs.

Su Ming used his Soul Power to lift the two Immortal Herbs to his chest. To prevent any accidents, Su Ming had preemptively swallowed a chunk of Creation Qi (ten threads make a strand, ten strands make a strip, ten strips make a chunk, one chunk equals a thousand threads). Then, without hesitation, he swallowed both Immortal Herbs.

As soon as Su Ming put the two Immortal Herbs into his mouth, they turned into saliva and flowed down his throat. Su Ming felt his tongue tingle with a refreshing fragrance; the taste was truly excellent.

Just as he finished marveling, Su Ming's entire body turned ice blue, and he felt as if he were about to freeze to death. The next second, his body turned bright red, as if he were about to burn to death, even the clothes on his body were burned away by the heat from his skin.

The next second, his body turned blue again. This cycle of red and blue alternated, appearing extremely strange.

At this moment, Su Ming knew that if he didn't jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he would either freeze to death or burn to death. Su Ming directly used Lightning Flash to teleport himself into the center of the spring.

As soon as he entered the spring water, the ice and fire powers collided violently within and outside Su Ming's body, constantly impacting him. Even with Su Ming's strong will, he couldn't withstand the medicinal power of these two Immortal Herbs. In the end, Su Ming fainted under the scouring of the ice and fire powers and sank into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Of course, during the time Su Ming was unconscious, his body did not stop. With the help of the Creation Power, he continued to absorb the potent medicinal power contained within these two Immortal Herbs.

Two hours had passed. Dugu Bo noticed that Dugu Yan was slowly absorbing the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, her aura stable. Seeing that she was fine, Dugu Bo wanted to check on Su Ming.

Dugu Bo stood up and looked around, but he couldn't find Su Ming. He then scanned the area with his spiritual power but still couldn't find him, and he immediately became anxious.

He ran over to look carefully but found no trace of Su Ming. However, he did notice that two Immortal Herbs were missing, specifically the two on the central axis of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Discovering that the obviously ice and fire-attributed Immortal Herbs were missing, Dugu Bo suspected that Su Ming had jumped into the Ice and Fire Spring after consuming them.

He then carefully probed the water with his spiritual power. As soon as his spiritual power entered the water, it was blocked by the ice and fire powers, and he couldn't sense anything.

As time flowed like water, from morning to night, it was merely the rising and setting of the sun.

A full day had passed.

Dugu Yan's aura grew stronger and stronger, while Su Ming remained unseen. Finally, on the night of the second day, Su Ming slowly emerged from the Ice and Fire Spring.

Seeing Su Ming emerge from the Ice and Fire Spring, Dugu Bo, who was practicing martial arts, hurried over to ask.

"I say, Little Monster, you didn't tell me you were going to eat this thing. You had me worried for two days and two nights."

At this moment, Su Ming did not answer. He merely felt his own body. His Soul Power, with the help of the Creation Qi and the two Immortal Herbs, had reached level 40 or above. The exact level was still unclear; he would only know after absorbing his Soul Rings.

He then summoned his Martial Soul and felt that his ice attribute had reached Extreme Ice, but it was currently difficult to unleash due to being held back by other attributes.

His previous fire attribute was very weak, unable to even sustain a flame. Now, it was naturally Extreme Fire, but it was also difficult to unleash.

"Hey, Old Monster, I didn't say anything because I saw you were busy caring for Sister Yan Yan at the time. By the way, how is Sister Yan Yan absorbing it?"

Dugu Bo said:

"Yan Yan's aura is getting stronger and stronger. However, according to your suggestion, isn't it best to absorb for three days and three nights? It's only been two days and two nights, so it should be finished in about another day."

Su Ming asked, "So, have you made up your mind? Which of the two methods will you use?"

"I've decided to use the Pill Method."

Seeing this, Su Ming winked at Dugu Bo.

"Alright, Old Monster, you're not that old among Titled Douluo. Once you condense the correct Snake Pill and control the poison, if you can restore your youthful appearance, you'll be a great handsome man."

"At that time, you can also marry a few more wives, enjoy yourself, and have several chubby sons to properly pass down your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's old face blushed, and he immediately retorted loudly.

"Go! Go! What enjoyment? I'm doing this for the inheritance of my Martial Soul."

Su Ming laughed heartily at this.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! For the inheritance of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul."

"Alright, since you've decided, you don't need to treat the poison in your body by bleeding anymore. Just quickly condense the poison in your body into your poison pill according to the Snake Pill Method. Dugu Yan, I'll watch over you. Hurry up, so you don't have to suffer from the poison day and night, especially on rainy days."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo became furious.

"Good heavens, Little Monster! When Yan Yan and I came to find you, you brat already had a complete Soul Core Method for controlling poison. You didn't give it to me beforehand, forcing me to bleed and get injections."

Seeing this, Su Ming quickly retorted.

"Can you blame me? You came at me with shouts of killing and fighting. I was so scared that I took out the experimental product of the Soul Core Method. If I had accidentally lost control and injected a little Soul Power into it at that time, all three of us would have died."

"Since you've seen the information on the Soul Core Method, you should know how dangerous that thing is. It's practically a Titled Douluo performing a point-blank self-detonation."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo remembered that in the villa at Shrek Academy, Su Ming had taken out a blue core emitting electric arcs, making him feel a great sense of threat.

"So that's the Soul Core. Isn't this thing condensed inside the body? How did you experiment with it?"

Seeing this, Su Ming said with a straight face:

"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, I've experimented with it."
