After obtaining these Immortal Herbs, Jiang Liang immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began absorbing them.

First was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Jiang Liang had chosen it first because he was worried he would not be able to withstand the Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining with the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass later.

So he would first use the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to strengthen his physique.

Familiar with the story, he consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum according to the proper method.

In an instant, a unique energy spread through every limb and bone in his body.

That energy continuously nourished his meridians and every acupoint, tempering his flesh, tendons, and bones until they became increasingly tough.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan watched from the side.

A faint golden glow gradually spread across Jiang Liang's body, while a subtle sheen flowed beneath his skin.

His formerly somewhat slender frame visibly became more solid, even his breathing grew steady and deep, and the aura around him became several degrees heavier.

"Truly miraculous!" Dugu Bo could not help but exclaim.

Once Jiang Liang finished absorbing it, Dugu Bo immediately stepped forward and asked, "Kid, can you let me examine your body?"

Jiang Liang stretched his stiff limbs and smiled. "Go ahead. I happen to want to see what level my physique has reached too."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly, then placed a hand on Jiang Liang's pulse.

In less than two breaths, his pupils rapidly widened, and his face filled with shock.

"This physique is actually comparable to that of a high-level Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster!"

Dugu Yan stared at Jiang Liang in astonishment as well.

Just relying on his physical body, he was already equivalent to her Soul Power Level?

Yet Jiang Liang seemed rather dissatisfied. "Only a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster? That's a little low."

By Sword Mother's standards, he would be hunting a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring next.

With a physique only at the level of a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, he had better not get blown apart by the energy of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring when the time came.

But upon hearing him say that, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both felt their tempers flare.

He had just awakened his Martial Soul and already possessed a physique comparable to a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, yet this kid was still dissatisfied?

Did he expect to have a physique at the level of a Title Douluo immediately after awakening his Martial Soul?

It really made them want to give him a good beating!

"Again!" Jiang Liang picked up the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, then swallowed them one after the other.

The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo could enhance a Martial Soul's attack power, as well as the toughness of both the Martial Soul and the Soul Master's physical body.

The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, meanwhile, could strengthen his spiritual power.

The two Immortal Herbs melted as soon as they entered his mouth, turning into pure energy that flowed through his body.

After nearly another half hour, he finally absorbed all the medicinal power of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, and his physical body rose to another level.

Jiang Liang slowly opened his eyes and felt that his mind had become much clearer, leaving his whole body refreshed.

Every inch of his tendons and bones felt as though they had been kneaded over and over by invisible hands, while every muscle and bone brimmed with heavy, abundant strength.

With only a slight movement, a deep burst of force erupted from within him, and even his breathing carried the weighty texture of metal and stone.

When Dugu Bo tested his physical strength, he discovered in shock that Jiang Liang's body was already comparable to that of a Three-Ring Soul Elder!

Dugu Yan was so stunned that she could not say a word.

In other words, Jiang Liang had only just awakened his Martial Soul, yet without relying on it, he could already fight her, a level-twenty-three Soul Master, using only his physical body?

"Now comes the main event." Jiang Liang took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of white vapor.

After consecutively absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, his physical body had been greatly strengthened, and he finally turned his gaze toward the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Those two were his true targets this time!

Only Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining could temper his body to its utmost limit.

Dugu Bo cried out, "You're continuing?"

"You're not regretting these Immortal Herbs, are you?" Jiang Liang shot the Poison Douluo an exasperated sideways glance. "We agreed that as long as I help you solve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison problem, I can use these Immortal Herbs however I want."

"We did agree, but seeing you use them like this still scares me a little," Dugu Bo said with a bitter smile.

He was genuinely afraid that this kid would suffer some problem after consuming these plants. What would he use to compensate the boy's master then?

"My sister isn't afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Jiang Liang said carelessly, curling his lip.

Then he turned to Sword Mother beside him. "With my sister watching over me, nothing can go wrong."

"That's right. Go on." Sword Mother chuckled softly and affectionately rubbed the top of his head.

"Alright!" Jiang Liang gave a mischievous laugh, then pulled a small iron shovel from his storage Soul Tool and charged straight toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The moment Dugu Bo saw this, he was frightened out of his wits.

"Don't go over there, it's dangerous!"

The spring water alternated between extreme heat and cold. Even a Title Douluo as powerful as him would be injured by its aura if he approached it.

This kid was only six years old. Though he possessed the physique of a Three-Ring Soul Elder, was approaching it not simply courting death?

"No matter. Let him go." Sword Mother raised a hand and stopped Dugu Bo.

Although her voice was calm and detached, her eyes followed Jiang Liang's every movement closely, filled with concern.

Before long, Jiang Liang harvested the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass growing beside the spring.

When the two Immortal Herbs were plucked at the same time, their extremely hot and cold auras restrained one another, so they would not harm him even while held in his hands.

But Jiang Liang, who knew the story well, understood that this effect would only last for ten breaths.

After ten breaths, the effects of these two Immortal Herbs would vanish completely.

So he did not hesitate at all and immediately swallowed both Immortal Herbs.

The Immortal Herbs melted upon entering his mouth, turning into fragrant liquid that flowed down his throat.

Although they tasted good, Jiang Liang knew this was only the prelude. The hardest part was yet to come.

He swiftly removed his clothes, and as soon as he felt the medicinal effects begin to take hold, he immediately leaped toward the point where the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well met.

"Ah!"

When Dugu Bo saw him jump into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he screamed in terror.

Ignoring whether Sword Mother was blocking him or not, he rushed to the edge of the spring and watched Jiang Liang slowly sink beneath the water.

"Kid! How are you?"

"Don't panic, I'll go down and save you right away!"

"You are not allowed to go." Sword Mother suddenly appeared beside Dugu Bo and stopped him again.

Dugu Bo was so anxious that he stamped his feet. "Senior, you don't understand how terrifying this spring is! Its extreme heat and cold are something even a Title Douluo cannot endure."

"This kid is only six years old. How can you let him take such a risk?"

Dugu Yan did not dare approach, so she could only watch from afar in anxiety.

At this moment, Jiang Liang appeared to have fallen into the most dangerous environment possible.

Yet in truth, it was precisely the effect of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that helped him fully absorb the effects of those two Immortal Herbs and transform their ice and fire energy into his own.

The entirely different energies of ice and fire churned ceaselessly within his body, their terrifying power continuously slamming into his meridians and bones.

Jiang Liang clenched his teeth tightly and, with the spring water balancing them out, desperately absorbed the ice and fire energy.

He felt his body being torn apart without end, every inch of flesh sending piercing pain through him.

Had he not strengthened his body and meridians beforehand with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, the ice and fire energy would have forcibly burst him apart by now.
