Youyou Cried, Dai Huabin Came to Rob Again

Ice Empress's oppressive aura showed no sign of abating.

The chilling aura of Ultimate Ice spread along the ground, heading straight for the scorching Yangquan Yang Spring.

The flames surging in the spring water shrank at a visible speed, the crimson light dimmed, and the heat waves rising from the surface of the spring were forcibly suppressed by an invisible force.

The flames surrounding Infernal Delicate Apricot suddenly contracted to just a tiny point of light at its core.

She was indeed a 100,000-year-old immortal Immortal Herb, but no matter how much she cultivated, she was still just a blade of grass rooted in the ground. Facing an extremely Ferocious Beast that had lived for 400,000 years, she couldn't even maintain her body from withering, let alone fight back.

"You, you..." Jiaojiao's voice, which had been arrogant just moments before, began to tremble.

The petals were so frantic they almost fell off.

"Jiaojiao, stop arguing!"

She cried out in Youyou voice.

"If she really attacks, can you withstand it? Last time, she only released one-tenth of her pressure, and your roots were almost frozen off! This time, if she gets truly angry, your very essence will be directly damaged, and your cultivation will drop by at least ten thousand years!"

Jiaojiao fell silent.

She knew perfectly well that Youyou was telling the truth.

The Immortal Herb is extremely fragile; once its essence is damaged, it cannot be restored even after several hundred years of cultivation.

Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire naturally have a suppressive effect on each other, but the opponent is Ferocious Beast with nearly 400,000 years of cultivation.

"I..."

Ice Empress crossed her arms, her emerald green twin ponytails swaying gently in the cold wind. She looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but at that moment the temperature in the entire valley was plummeting.

"I'll give you three more breaths to consider."

Youyou was almost in tears:

"Jiaojiao! Hurry up and give it to me! You can always rebuild the Blazing Gel, but if you lose your life, you'll lose everything!"

In the icy spring beside them, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass remained silent.

He and Jiaojiao were old friends, but there was nothing he could do to help them in this situation.

Offending this Ice Jade Empress Scorpion?

He hasn't lived enough.

Three long breaths later.

"For you."

Jiaojiao's voice was full of heartache and resentment.

Her crimson branches trembled violently a few times, and a fist-sized ball of crimson gelatinous substance slowly separated from its core.

The mass of matter was scorching hot, with pure fire patterns flowing across its surface. Even from several meters away, Zhu Lu could feel the heat wave emanating from it.

Blazing Gel.

The essence of the Infernal Delicate Apricot, cultivated over ten thousand years, contains the purest and most concentrated ultimate source of fire.

Jiaojiao held the Blazing Gel high in the air, her voice mournful. "Take it away, take it away quickly, it hurts to see it."

Dai Huabin reached out and put the Blazing Gel into the storage space of his Soul Tool.

"There's one more thing," he turned to Youyou, "I need a top-grade light-attribute Immortal Herb."

Youyou paused for a moment, stunned.

"Light attribute?"

"Yes, the medicinal properties need to be mild and mellow, something that can blend with the light attribute of the White Tiger Bloodline."

Youyou dared not delay and quickly mobilized the earth's energy deep in the valley to begin the search.

A moment later, in a corner of the Immortal Herb, a Ganoderma lucidum radiating a soft, white-gold glow slowly emerged.

"Holy Light Ganoderma, this is the highest-grade light-attribute Immortal Herb I have here."

Her Youyou, ingratiating tone was extremely flattering.

"Its medicinal properties are mild and mellow, and it does not harm the meridians, making it especially suitable for the bloodline tempering of Beast Martial Soul masters."

Dai Huabin took the Holy Light Ganoderma and examined it carefully. The platinum cap exuded a faint life force, truly a top-grade product.

"Okay, that's enough."

She Youyou.

However, Dai Huabin did not turn around and leave.

"There's another matter I'd like to ask you," Dai Huabin said, looking at Youyou. "You should know the specific methods for Ice and Fire Golden Body, right?"

The Youyou petals began to tremble again.

"You... you even want this?"

Dai Huabin's tone was flat:

"I roughly know what Tang San did here ten thousand years ago. He used the medicinal power of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to soak in the Ice and Fire Springs and forged an invulnerable golden body. I plan to replicate this process."

Jiaojiao exploded again upon hearing this. "You still want to take a bath with my Blazing Gel? Do you think my millennia of cultivation is as cheap as cabbage?!"

Ice Empress glanced at her.

Jiaojiao immediately shut up.

Youyou turned her flower body and looked at the silent Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

"Eight-Cornered Star, over there, can your Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal replace the complete Immortal Herb body and, together with the Blazing Gel, complete the Ice and Fire Body Tempering?"

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass remained silent for a long while.

A deep male voice echoed from the icy spring:

"Yes. The ice crystals have sealed away all my ice essence, but refining them is very difficult. However, combined with the Blazing Gel, it's entirely possible to complete the process of Ice and Fire Body Tempering."

He paused, then added, "Anyway, he already ransacked us once last time, so it won't make a difference if he does it again."

Dai Huabin smiled and said, "Thank you."

"No need," the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass replied indifferently.

Ice Empress scoffed from the side, "A bunch of grasshoppers actually have quite a temper."

Di Lingxi lay on a rock watching the commotion, munching on a celestial fruit she'd somehow acquired. She mumbled a mouthful of it:

"Huabin, do you often do this?"

Dai Huabin ignored her.

Zhu Lu stood beside him and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to start body tempering now?"

"Hmm." Dai Huabin looked at the distinct red and blue Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well spring water in the center, "Since we've come all this way, let's get everything done in one go."

He took out the Blazing Gel from his storage space, and then received a fist-sized, ice-blue octagonal crystal from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. The two items, one cold and one hot, began to repel each other when placed in his hand.

Dai Huabin did not hesitate.

He divided the Blazing Gel in two, put one half back into his storage container for Ma Xiaotao, and put the other half into his mouth along with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal.

The moment it entered his body, two completely opposite forces exploded within him.

Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire clashed violently within the meridians.

Dai Huabin's body suddenly arched upwards.

The pain wasn't physical; it was a tearing sensation that surged from the depths of the bone marrow.

Two forces each occupy half of the body, refusing to give way, and tug at each other back and forth between the internal organs.

Half of his skin was covered in icy blue frost patterns, while the other half was adorned with crimson fire patterns.

Zhu Lu subconsciously took a step forward, but Snow Empress stopped her with a hand.

"Don't move," Snow Empress shook her head, "Touching him now will disrupt his balance."

Dai Huabin took a deep breath and leaped into the central Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Spring.

Thump.

The red and blue waters instantly engulfed him.

The water surface churned violently for a moment, the temperature of the red half of the spring water rose sharply, and the cold air in the blue half became even more biting. The two colors frantically merged where Dai Huabin had immersed himself, producing a large amount of white mist.

Zhu Lu clenched her fists.

"Rest assured."

Ice Empress walked to the spring and squatted down, dipping one hand into the blue water. "With me and Xue'er here, he won't die."

Snow Empress also came to the spring and placed her palm on the water's surface.

The two masters of extreme ice simultaneously released their pure ice-attribute Soul Power, which flowed into Dai Huabin's body through the spring water, helping him stabilize the out-of-control ice and fire power within him.
