Ice and Fire Gold Body Refining

However, Dugu Bo knew that whether Spirit Hall had a Holy Son had little to do with him.

It wasn't something he needed to think about right now, either.

At present, he ought to be considering the choice they had given him.

Dugu Bo was deeply displeased by this overbearing attempt to recruit him.

Besides, ever since the day he became a Soul Master, he had disliked being bound by a faction.

With his talent, joining a great power would certainly have brought him greater achievements than he had now.

The only reason he hadn't was that he disliked the idea.

But the question was, could he refuse this recruitment under the circumstances?

Although he had broken through to Soul Douluo, the people before him, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, were both renowned veteran Soul Douluo.

And from their words, it was clear that both of them had already reached level 90.

In other words, they were both Quasi-Titled Douluo.

Faced with beings like these, what would they do if he refused their recruitment?

If he died, so be it.

But what about his son at home?

"I, Dugu Bo, swear on my Martial Soul that as long as the Holy Son helps me and my son cure our poison, I will serve the Holy Son from this day forward and guard the herb garden for her. If the Holy Son ever needs anything..."

After only a moment's hesitation, Dugu Bo made his decision.

He had no choice.

Besides, Bibi Dong had only asked him to serve her personally, not all of Spirit Hall. There was a difference between the two.

Most importantly, the task Bibi Dong had assigned him was to guard this herb garden.

Whether for him or his son, this place was a priceless treasure. It could directly suppress their snake venom. What could be better than that?

"You're quite sensible. Since that's settled, stay to one side and watch for now."

"By the way, I'll give you that ninety-thousand-year-old Emerald Snake Emperor. You can use it as your Ninth Soul Ring. For now, find a way to trap it and bring it under control."

Seeing that Dugu Bo had sworn his oath without much hesitation, Bibi Dong knew the matter was settled.

As for her, she turned her gaze toward the two Immortal Herbs at the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Since Yue Guan and Gui Mei had already taken Immortal Herbs, it was her turn now.

"Xiao Dong, what are you doing?"

Seeing Bibi Dong's actions, Yue Guan immediately grew anxious.

With his understanding of Immortal Herbs, he naturally knew what would happen if she took both herbs at once.

The problem was that this was only a theory. The risks were far too great.

"Ice and Fire Gold Body Refining!"

"Uncle Yue Guan, if I want to cultivate both Martial Souls, I have to build a foundation that other Soul Masters don't have."

"This is the first step in my cultivation."

Bibi Dong smiled as she approached the core area of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

At her current level of cultivation, even standing nearby, she could feel two powerful forces continually burrowing into her body.

These forces were extremely fierce and overbearing. If she stayed here too long, they might well tear her body apart.

"This..."

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan grew even more anxious.

His eyes filled with worry.

He hurried forward to stop her.

Just then, Gui Mei blocked Yue Guan and gave him a slight shake of his head, signaling him not to interfere.

"Trust Xiao Dong!"

Gui Mei's words were simple, but his tone brimmed with absolute confidence in Bibi Dong.

Yue Guan might have seemed the closest to Bibi Dong, but in truth, Gui Mei was the one closest to her..

Yue Guan, for his part, trusted the Bibi Dong of today completely.

Bibi Dong plucked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. After taking them, she leaped straight into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood by to protect her.

As for Dugu Bo, all his attention was now fixed on the ninety-thousand-year-old Emerald Snake Emperor.

This Soul Beast was perfect for becoming his Ninth Soul Ring.

Even if he searched the entire Sunset Forest himself, he might not find one more suitable.

Before this, Dugu Bo hadn't had the slightest confidence in breaking through to Titled Douluo.

But after coming here, he was certain he could take another step and become a Titled Douluo.

This miraculous herb garden could not only suppress the snake venom in his body, but also greatly increase his cultivation speed.

If he could also resolve the deadly poison within him, then becoming a Titled Douluo would only be a matter of time.

Bibi Dong had once sighed that the Titled Douluo of this era were all the genuine article.

Dugu Bo would become a Titled Douluo in the future, and he naturally had his own strengths.

He was extremely knowledgeable when it came to Martial Souls. It was only the limitations of his background and experience that had kept him from truly resolving his own problems.

When he saw this Emerald Snake Emperor, he had a feeling that absorbing it as his Ninth Soul Ring might bring about a qualitative change in his Martial Soul.

So, naturally, he had to find a way to keep the Emerald Snake Emperor under control.

He not only needed to use a special toxin to suppress its strength, but was also already planning to build a powerful cage and lock it up once he returned.

"What's this...?"

Bibi Dong's leap into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well caught Dugu Bo's attention.

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to inspect.

Even from nearby, he could clearly feel the intense danger contained in the spring water.

"How does she dare?"

Dugu Bo was deeply shocked.

The energy contained in the spring was something even he, a Soul Douluo, wouldn't dare touch lightly.

Bibi Dong looked so young. Her cultivation was at most that of a three-ring Soul Elder.

How dare she jump into the spring?

Dugu Bo realized that perhaps submitting to the Holy Son of Spirit Hall wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Bibi Dong was now immersed in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Protected by the power of the Immortal Herbs, she was unharmed by the well's energy.

But that didn't mean there was no danger.

With two utterly opposing forces inside her body, she would run into trouble if she couldn't refine and quickly control them. The longer they remained, the worse it would get.

That was why Bibi Dong had waited until she had successfully developed her cultivation method before coming here.

Tang San had succeeded in refining the Ice and Fire Gold Body not only because the power of the two Immortal Herbs had been harmonized with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Most crucial of all was the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Although the cultivation method she had researched with everyone's help, drawing on Spirit Hall's collected knowledge, was inferior to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it could still circulate Soul Power through her body.

That was what gave her the foundation to draw on the power of the two Immortal Herbs and temper her body.

While Bibi Dong was undergoing Ice and Fire Gold Body Refining, the Clear Sky Sect arrived at Spirit Hall with their people.

Their target was the current Pope, Qian Xunji.
