Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement

"Xue'er, let's go to the Aromatic Silk Beauty first."

Huo Yuhao pulled the still somewhat bewildered Snow Empress along and headed straight toward the pale pink flower.

Thinking about it now, it was rather amusing. In his previous life, when he first came to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and underwent that so-called trial, he had been forced to use the Blazing Yang Spring to warm the blood in his heart, enduring immense pain.

Yet even so, he had remained deeply respectful toward these Immortal Herb plant Soul Beasts.

But later, after gaining great power and returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had resorted to threats and coercion against these Immortal Herb plant Soul Beasts.

Under Tang San's subtle influence in his previous life, he had ultimately completely lost himself in Universe Asking Love Valley. Back then, he had not been much different from Tang San.

Fortunately, now that he had brought Snow Empress here directly, there was no need to play the same games of gentleman and villain as in his previous life.

These Immortal Herbs believed they had received Tang San's favor and obeyed the rules he had left behind. In a sense, that meant they stood against him.

"Aromatic Silk Beauty, I know you've already sensed our presence."

Huo Yuhao stood outside the pink barrier and did not step inside.

"The one beside me is the ruler of the Far North, the Snow Empress.

Her cultivation is already nearing seven hundred thousand years, and she is unaffected by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"I imagine you don't want her to make a move here and destroy this place, do you?"

As Huo Yuhao's words fell, the Aromatic Silk Beauty swayed gently. Its enormous petals slowly opened and closed, and a gentle female voice emerged from within.

"Human, what exactly do you want? How did you learn of this place, and how do you know my identity?"

"You don't need to know that."

Huo Yuhao replied calmly.

"You only need to know that I understand everything here, know your origins, and have the ability to destroy this place completely."

The Aromatic Silk Beauty fell silent for a moment. Its petals opened and closed again, and a trace of menace entered its voice.

"Since you know who we are, aren't you afraid of that person?"

Huo Yuhao secretly found it amusing. He had never noticed in his previous life that the Aromatic Silk Beauty was so innocent. At a time like this, it still wanted to threaten him?

He lightly squeezed Snow Empress's hand, and she immediately understood what Huo Yuhao meant.

With a raised hand, vast amounts of ice and snow descended from thin air. In an instant, they gathered above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into a gigantic, terrifying ice-and-snow tornado.

Snow Empress's Three Ultimates, Great Cold Without Snow!

"Wait! Human, why are you attacking right away?"

The Aromatic Silk Beauty's voice was filled with terror. She clearly had not expected the youth before her to be so decisive, ordering Snow Empress to attack at the slightest disagreement. She understood even less why Snow Empress would obey a human's command.

At that moment, more than twenty mature Immortal Herbs throughout the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well released brilliant radiance. The lights swiftly gathered high in the air, forming a massive barrier in an attempt to block the descending ice-and-snow tornado.

Snow Empress snorted coldly. Carrying the aura of Reign of the World, she said frostily,

"You think you can stop me with just yourselves?"

She slowly pressed her palm downward, and the ice-and-snow tornado descended with it, on the verge of completely destroying the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Human, whatever you want, we can discuss it. We can discuss anything."

The Aromatic Silk Beauty's voice trembled. She clearly understood that the Immortal Herbs currently within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could not contend with Snow Empress at all.

She was now meat on the chopping block. The Aromatic Silk Beauty could only hope that this human's demands would not be excessive.

"It would've been better if you'd done this earlier." Huo Yuhao looked at the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which had lowered its head before him, and smiled. "Actually, I've come to bring you benefits."

Benefits?

The Aromatic Silk Beauty felt speechless. She knew all too well how greedy humans were. Fine. As long as this human did not want anything from her personally, she would satisfy his demands as best she could.

"Yes, yes. What do you need us to do?"

As the Aromatic Silk Beauty spoke, she gently swayed her petals. Ripples spread across the lake toward the shores on both the white and red halves.

"Ah Jiao, Bajiao, come out and discuss this as well."

The Aromatic Silk Beauty called out to the other two Immortal Herbs.

Among these Immortal Herbs that had developed intelligence, Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass were undoubtedly the strongest due to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Part of the Aromatic Silk Beauty's status also came from the fact that she guarded the Tang Sect's secret manuals.

"What is there to discuss? As if we can make the decision ourselves."

Infernal Delicate Apricot's tone was clearly dissatisfied, and she was quite irritated by their current situation.

Unlike Infernal Delicate Apricot's anger, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass merely moved its petals slightly and took the initiative to expel droplet-like ice crystals from its flower center.

"Human, this is Ice Rain Dew that I have accumulated over ten thousand years. It will greatly benefit your cultivation. Conservatively speaking, it can raise your Soul Power by around ten levels."

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could naturally sense the faint ice-attributed martial soul on Huo Yuhao's body, as well as the fact that he was with Snow Empress.

Under such circumstances, its Ice Rain Dew would clearly be taken by him anyway. It was better to offer it voluntarily and leave a good impression.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. But recalling that it had also voluntarily become his Soul Spirit in his previous life, he could see that Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass always understood certain matters very clearly.

Huo Yuhao turned to Infernal Delicate Apricot and said,

"Infernal Delicate Apricot, hand over your Blazing Glue as well."

Right now, he needed to use this Ice Rain Dew and Blazing Glue to undergo a simplified version of the Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement. Only then would he be able to fearlessly enter the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Otherwise, with his current cultivation, he was clearly not qualified to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and thoroughly investigate the secrets hidden beneath it.

He had only learned the method of the Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement after entering the God Realm. After all, the Tang Sect Medicine Manual and Poison Manual preserved by the Aromatic Silk Beauty were still incomplete.

"Human, my Blazing Glue shouldn't be of any use to you, should it?"

Infernal Delicate Apricot's tone carried confusion and puzzlement.

After all, she could only condense one drop of Blazing Glue each year. What she had now was merely a fist-sized amount accumulated over ten thousand years. Even she found it painfully difficult to hand it all over to Huo Yuhao.

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Snow Empress beside him had already snorted coldly.

"My Yuhao needs it, so hand it over. Or do you want me to kill you first and take it from your body afterward?"

Before her words had even faded, an extreme chill shot toward the Blazing Yang Spring, as though it had transformed into an invisible hand that tightly gripped Infernal Delicate Apricot.
