Ice and Fire Body Tempering Successful, Youyou Was Plucked Bald

Di Lingxi walked to Zhu Lu's side and looked up at her.

"Lulu, will Huabin be alright?"

Zhu Lu nodded without saying anything.

In the spring water.

Dai Huabin's consciousness was mostly overwhelmed by the pain, but his mind remained clear. Having undergone so many tempering and fusions with his Soul Bone, his mental strength had long since become unimaginably strong.

The forces of ice and fire, catalyzed by the spring water, began to penetrate deeper, no longer merely remaining on the surface of the meridians, but traveling along the blood vessels straight to the pain in the bones.

At the same time, the White Tiger Bloodline became exceptionally active under the stimulation of the dual forces of ice and fire. The beastly power hidden deep within its bones and blood was awakened, and it began to actively cooperate with the tempering of the two extreme forces.

Time passed by, second by second.

Outside the spring.

An hour has passed.

Zhu Lu remained standing still. Her fingers were clenched so tightly they were numb, but her expression remained calm.

Ice Empress and Snow Empress also maintained their output, with fine beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads. Maintaining the precise infusion of Level 98 and level 65 extreme ice power without damaging Dai Huabin's meridians was much more tiring than it looked.

"Huabin's physical condition is truly remarkable," Ice Empress muttered. "An ordinary Soul Master would have had his bones shattered long ago."

Snow Empress didn't respond, focusing on allocating her power.

Another half hour passed.

The gushing of the spring water began to subside.

The red and blue colors, which were originally in fierce conflict, gradually reached a balance and no longer repelled each other, but instead formed a strange state of fusion.

The icy blue fire patterns on Dai Huabin's body also faded away, and his skin returned to its normal color, only firmer and more radiant than before.

The next moment, a figure burst out of the spring and landed steadily on the shore.

Dai Huabin stood there shirtless, soaked to the bone, but in excellent spirits.

The most obvious change is in the resilience of the body.

He could feel that his skin, muscles, and bones had undergone a qualitative leap.

Zhu Lu walked over quickly and handed him the clean clothes she had prepared in advance.

"How about it?"

"It's done." Dai Huabin took the clothes and put them on, his tone relaxed. "Immune to all poisons, truly living up to its reputation."

Ice Empress stood up, shook the water droplets off her hands, and rolled her eyes. "You seem to have it easy, but I've already used up 30% of my Soul Power."

Snow Empress withdrew her hand, letting out a slight breath. "It was indeed strenuous. But the effect was excellent; the ice and fire energies within his body have now been completely stabilized."

Di Lingxi hopped over, circled Dai Huabin twice, and sniffed him intently.

"Huabin, you smell so good."

"That's the residue from the medicine." Dai Huabin rubbed her head.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the Eye of Life.

"Elder Yi."

Within the space of the Eye of Life, the phantom of Electrolux appeared. This former Holy Necromancer had an ancient yet gentle face, and nodded as he looked at Dai Huabin's condition.

"The Ice and Fire Body Tempering process was very successful, but there are still some residual traces of conflict within you. Come, let me help you finish it off."

A gentle, grayish-green light emanated from Dai Huabin's body.

That was Electrolux's necromantic purification power, non-aggressive, specifically used to heal wounds and stabilize the foundation.

The light flowed along Dai Huabin's meridians, repairing the minor damage left by the Ice and Fire Body Tempering one by one. The fine cracks caused by the extreme temperature difference were filled by the light, and the texture of his body became denser.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress outside sensed that power, exchanged a glance, and remained silent. They knew it was Electrolux.

A few minutes later, the grayish-green light faded.

Dai Huabin opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"Thank you, Elder Yi."

Electrolux's voice echoed in his mind:

"Refine the Holy Light Ganoderma here as well. Now that your meridians have just been opened by ice and fire, fusing with the light-attribute Immortal Herb will be twice as effective."

Dai Huabin responded and took out the Holy Light Ganoderma.

Seeing that he was about to start cultivating again, Zhu Lu took a few steps back and pulled Di Lingxi to sit on the rock next to her.

Ice Empress sat down to rest against a large rock, Youyou Ice Empress asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry after cultivating for so long."

Youyou:"..."

The medicinal power of the Holy Light Ganoderma is far gentler than that of the Ice and Fire Body Tempering.

Platinum light flowed slowly through Dai Huabin's body, seeping into the depths of the White Tiger Bloodline along the meridians that had just been opened by ice and fire. The dormant light factors in the bloodline were activated and began to resonate with the medicinal power of the Ganoderma lucidum.

The whole process lasted about 45 minutes.

Dai Huabin could feel the purity of the light attribute in his White Tiger Martial Soul steadily increasing. The feeling was subtle—not the exhilarating feeling of a surge in power, but a sense of fulfillment as his foundation became more solid and robust.

Electrolux's voice rang out again. "Very good. However, the tempering of the Holy Light Ganoderma is still one step away from completion."

"What?"

"After you return to the Shrek Academy, meditate under the Golden Tree. The primordial holy light of the Golden Tree can help you fully activate the residual light-attribute medicinal power of the Ganoderma lucidum, completing the perfection of the White Tiger- type bloodline. You're about 70-80% done now; the rest can't be rushed."

Dai Huabin thought about it and figured he'd get a reward opportunity for meditating on the Golden Tree anyway, so this was a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Understood."

He stood up and stretched his shoulders and wrists. He felt completely refreshed, both inside and out; his physical resistance, bloodline purity, and light attribute affinity had all improved significantly.

Zhu Lu came over and handed her a pot of water.

Dai Huabin took the drink, tilted his head back, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He wiped the water from the corners of his mouth and looked around the valley.

Youyou watched all of this nervously from the side. When she noticed Dai Huabin's gaze sweeping over, the entire flower shrank.

"Don't, don't look at me. I really have nothing left to give you..."

Dai Huabin chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't want your things anymore."

Youyou breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"But..."

The Youyou petals rose up again.

Dai Huabin pointed to Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Di Lingxi: "They also need some suitable Immortal Herb to supplement their diet. You can decide what to do."

Youyou withered on the spot.

"You... you really came here to rob me, didn't you!"

"This is called mutual benefit and win-win." Dai Huabin sat down on a rock with a straight face. "With us staying here for a while, who among those Soul Beasts and human Soul Master who covet this place would dare to invade?"

Youyou remained silent, speechless.

She glanced at the Ice Empress's Bingbing face, then at the aura of Auspicious Beast emanating from Di Lingxi, and began frantically calculating the pros and cons in her mind.

In the end, she resigned herself to her fate.

"Alright..." Youyou turned her flower-like body and began searching the valley, "Ice attribute... something to strengthen that master's foundation..."
