Ice and Fire Golden Body, Level 50! Attribute Imbalance? Shy Meng Yiran: I'm willing to help Young Master vent!

Entering the depths of the Sunset Forest and passing through the poisonous miasma, the scenery before them changed abruptly.

A strange valley appeared before the three of them.

At the center of the valley floor, a spring was clearly divided into two distinct colors: milky white and vermilion.

It exuded a unique aura where extreme cold and extreme heat were intertwined.

"Good heavens..."

Meng Yiran's beautiful eyes widened, and she surveyed her surroundings with a face full of wonder.

"Young Master, the environment here is so magical!

One half is as hot as a furnace, while the other is as cold as an ice cellar. It's incredible that those flowers and plants can grow so well in a place like this."

"This is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a treasure trove of a geomantic site."

Huang Yan's tone was indifferent.

He took the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone out from his storage ring.

He tossed it casually to Meng Yiran.

"Yiran, take this."

Meng Yiran caught it in a flurry, feeling a warm, fragrant sensation as it touched her hands.

"Young Master, this is..."

"This flower is called the 'Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone'."

Huang Yan said faintly.

"Its effects are to nourish the tendons and bones, and to clear the seven meridians and eight vessels.

Consuming it will not only significantly improve your martial soul quality and talent, but it will also allow your soul power to jump several levels.

Go to the side and meditate to absorb it."

"Thank you for the treasure, Young Master!"

Meng Yiran's voice trembled with excitement, and the look she gave Huang Yan was filled with deep affection.

She then obediently walked to the side, sat cross-legged, and began to consume and absorb it.

Dugu Bo, standing to the side, watched this scene with a flash of amazement in his eyes, though he dared not say a word.

Huang Yan flicked his wrist and took out another immortal herb, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

He tossed it directly toward Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo caught it instinctively, his face full of astonishment:

"Young Master, what is this..."

"The 'Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid' has the most gentle and mellow medicinal properties; it can consolidate one's foundation and remove impurities from the body."

Huang Yan looked at Dugu Bo and said casually.

"Your body has suffered from the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison for years. While this immortal herb cannot completely cure the poison, it is enough to help you suppress the toxicity and cleanse your marrow.

If your luck holds, your soul power, which has been stagnant for many years, should be able to advance a little further."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's hands trembled violently, and his aged eyes went round in an instant.

"Young Master... you would bestow such a divine object that defies the laws of heaven upon this old man?"

"Since you have acknowledged me as your master and work for me, I naturally will not treat you poorly."

Huang Yan stood with his hands behind his back.

"Eat it and refine it as soon as possible."

"This old man... thanks you for your great kindness, Young Master!"

Dugu Bo was so moved that he knelt on one knee and performed a heavy, cupped-fist salute.

"From now on, this old man's life belongs to the Young Master. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Having said that, Dugu Bo stopped being overly modest, walked a short distance away, consumed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and immediately closed his eyes to circulate his energy.

Seeing that both of them had entered a state of cultivation, Huang Yan turned his gaze back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a flicker of burning intensity in his eyes.

Huang Yan walked to the edge of the spring, looked at the distinct red and white waters, and whispered to himself:

"Back then, in order to successfully possess this body, I swept the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well clean of all its immortal herbs.

Returning to this place now is quite the fortuitous coincidence."

He flipped his wrist, and two immortal herbs exuding extreme auras appeared in his palm.

One was ice-blue throughout, with a biting chill.

The other was like a raging flame, hot and violent.

"I have already refined the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower while outside.

I can probably only refine one or two more immortal herbs."

"Once I forge the Ice and Fire Golden Body, I will refine the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to elevate my spiritual power."

Huang Yan stared at the two immortal herbs in his hands, his eyes flickering with a sharp glint.

"Now, only this final step remains."

Without hesitation, he tossed both herbs into the air simultaneously.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Today, I shall borrow the spring water of this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to thoroughly refine you both and aid me in forging the Ice and Fire Golden Body!"

The moment his voice fell, Huang Yan inhaled deeply, swallowing both diametrically opposed immortal herbs into his stomach at once.

A terrifying energy, intertwined with extreme cold and extreme heat, erupted instantly within his body.

Huang Yan let out a muffled groan as his skin began to cycle frantically between icy blue and crimson red.

"Now is the time!"

Huang Yan let out a sharp shout and leaped forward.

"Splash!"

Water sprayed in all directions.

Huang Yan's body plunged straight into the central spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He was instantly swallowed whole by the dual-colored spring water.

Time passed, though it was unclear how much.

Meng Yiran and Dugu Bo opened their eyes one after the other, both wearing expressions of joy, clearly having successfully refined their respective immortal herbs.

"Where is the Young Master?"

Meng Yiran instinctively scanned her surroundings.

Dugu Bo's gaze sharpened as he pointed toward the center of the spring.

"There."

Meng Yiran followed his gesture and saw Huang Yan floating silently just above the surface of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Huang Yan's body was encased in a cocoon of red and blue light.

Waves of energy were continuously radiating from the cocoon.

"Is the Young Master..."

Meng Yiran spoke with a hint of worry.

"Do not make a sound; the Young Master is undergoing an incredible transformation."

Dugu Bo lowered his voice, his eyes filled with awe.

No sooner had he spoken than a crisp "crack" echoed through the air.

Dense cracks appeared on the surface of the red and blue cocoon, which then shattered with a roar, dissolving into a sky full of light particles.

Huang Yan's tall, slender physique was revealed once more.

However, in the process of forging this Ice and Fire Golden Body, his original clothing had long since been incinerated into ash by the extreme power of ice and fire.

He now hung in mid-air, completely exposed.

"Ah..."

Meng Yiran let out a soft cry, her fair, pretty face flushing red to the tips of her ears.

Surprisingly, however, she did not cover her eyes, nor did she look away.

Her watery, beautiful eyes remained fixed on Huang Yan's flawless physique, which faintly shimmered with a red and blue luster.

Her gaze gradually turned somewhat infatuated, and her breathing grew slightly ragged.

Dugu Bo caught a glimpse of Meng Yiran's flushed, uninhibited expression from the corner of his eye and was stunned for a moment.

Then, the image of the two of them walking out of the same villa earlier that morning flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood.

"Ahem..."

Dugu Bo coughed twice and, being very sensible, withdrew his gaze.

"Girl Yiran, the Young Master is at a critical juncture in his breakthrough and cannot afford any disturbances."

Dugu Bo said in a solemn, serious tone:

"This old man will go outside to stand guard for the Young Master; I leave him in your care."

With that, Dugu Bo did not wait for Meng Yiran's response.

With a few leaps, his figure quickly vanished from the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Huang Yan, suspended in mid-air, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air that shimmered in red and blue.

He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, and whispered to himself:

"Level forty-nine to level fifty..."

Ice and Fire Body Refining is primarily focused on tempering the physique; the increase in soul power is merely a side effect.

However, after absorbing the fifth soul ring later, the residual medicinal power within my body should be enough to raise my soul power by another level.

Just then, Huang Yan's brows furrowed slightly.

He felt a surge of restless, lustful fire suddenly erupt from his lower abdomen without any warning.

"My Martial Soul is already inclined toward the fire attribute; has forcibly refining the extreme cold power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass caused a slight imbalance of attributes within my body..."

Huang Yan did not hesitate, instantly guessing the cause.

However, he did not care.

This was merely a minor issue.

Huang Yan drifted down from mid-air, his gaze cast directly toward Meng Yiran, who was standing not far away with a flushed face.

Stared at by his scorching and undisguised gaze, Meng Yiran's delicate body trembled, and her voice carried a hint of shy tremors:

"Y-Young Master, have you finished your cultivation?"

Huang Yan walked toward her step by step, his tone casual yet permeated with an irresistible dominance:

"Yiran, the ice and fire attributes within my body are slightly imbalanced; I need the union of yin and yang to regulate them."

Hearing these blunt words, Meng Yiran looked at the completely naked Huang Yan approaching her step by step, her pretty face turning so red it seemed as if it were about to drip blood.

Yet, far from retreating, her beautiful eyes brimmed with deep affection and submission.

Meng Yiran bit her red lips lightly and took the initiative to step forward, her voice as soft as water:

"Yiran... is willing to help Young Master resolve this trouble."

Huang Yan revealed a smile.

With a thought, his Bright Phoenix Martial Soul Possession activated.

Holding the now limp Meng Yiran in his arms, he flapped his wings and took flight.

They arrived at the cliffside, inside the massive cave that Huang Yan had carved out before he left the Sunset Forest to possess Ma Hongjun.
