Absorbing "Looking Through Autumn Water," Dugu Xin's Poison Acts Up Again?

Poseinan stepped into the spring, a searing, stinging sensation surging through his entire body.

"Hiss... what intense stimulation. It truly lives up to its reputation as a spring where ice and fire converge."

Without a second thought, he quickly tore off the Blazing Apricot, rushed to the icy side of the spring to pluck the Octagonal Profound Ice Grass, and swallowed them both whole.

He sat down in the spring water on the spot and began to absorb and refine them.

The moment the two immortal herbs entered his stomach, extreme heat and bone-chilling cold collided within him. Poseinan's entire body shuddered violently, his teeth clenched tight.

The flames of the Blazing Apricot spread along his veins, scorching every inch of his muscles and bones as if to incinerate his flesh into ash.

The frigid energy of the Octagonal Profound Ice Grass followed closely behind, freezing his boiling blood and making him tremble uncontrollably.

The two diametrically opposed forces tore at him frantically.

Yet, nourished by the spring, they gradually began to merge.

They transformed into a gentle yet overbearing tempering force, washing over Poseinan's body again and again.

Under the nourishment of this power, his flesh and blood grew tougher, and the impurities hidden within his muscles were forced out bit by bit, dissipating into the spring water.

The stinging pain caused by the initial impact of the forces slowly faded away.

It was replaced by a feeling of light, refreshing comfort. His physical strength increased at a visible rate, his muscles and bones became increasingly resilient, and even his skin began to emit a faint, lustrous glow.

An hour passed.

Poseinan completed the initial refinement. His physical body had undergone a tangible improvement, and the aura around him had become much more composed.

Unlike Tang San, who used the Ice Fire Body Tempering to forge a golden body, Poseinan would never waste such precious medicinal power on a mere physical shell.

Ice and fire merged; yin and yang combined.

The most important thing was not the body.

It was purification and cleansing!

Simply put, it was Marrow Cleansing.

Poseinan urged this medicinal power to wash away the impurities in his body over and over again.

Another hour passed.

He slowly opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

His body felt lighter, and his strength was greater.

Not only that, but his martial soul's perception of water elements had become even more acute.

"Strange..."

This left Poseinan quite surprised.

One had to know that the Octagonal Profound Ice Grass was an ice-attribute immortal herb; logically, it should have had nothing to do with his Sea God.

Could it be because ice and water were inseparable?

After all, the ice element was merely a variant of the water element; the two were never truly separate.

Just as Poseinan was about to continue consolidating his gains, a shout of excited joy echoed from afar.

"Hahahaha! This old man has finally... finally broken through to Titled Douluo!"

Dugu Bo laughed toward the sky, laughing until he wept.

These were tears of joy.

His Dugu clan was born with a lethal poison in their blood; every level they gained was like walking a tightrope over a cliff.

That he could cultivate to this point felt like a dream.

Only Dugu Bo knew how difficult the journey had been.

Most importantly, Dugu Bo's father had once told him: "As long as you reach the rank of Titled Douluo, there will be a way to solve the poison in our Dugu family!"

However, Dugu Bo felt something was off.

He didn't seem to feel the poison being neutralized at all.

Poseinan stepped forward, clapping his hands. "Old Monster, congratulations on breaking through to Titled Douluo!"

In his joy, Dugu Bo stopped dwelling on such thoughts. The corners of his mouth curled up as he couldn't help but remark, "I think you're the real little monster here!"

After breaking through to level 90, he could finally see Poseinan's true cultivation level.

At only six or seven years old, he already possessed a cultivation of level 25!

This was likely unprecedented, and it would be hard for anyone to follow in his footsteps.

Dugu Bo finally understood why Poseinan had dared to speak to him with such confidence earlier.

It was truly terrifying!

"Likewise."

Facing Dugu Bo's teasing, Poseinan did not refute him.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was indeed a monster.

Poseinan stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled softly, "Don't be infatuated with me; I am merely a legend."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, but he impatiently cupped his hands in a respectful salute, "Young Master, I would like to go out for a while..."

"To hunt for a spirit ring? Go if you wish; I never restricted your movements."

Poseinan turned around and waved a hand at him dismissively.

Dugu Bo was still somewhat stunned.

He was just let go that easily?

After coming to his senses, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, "If it's like this, having a faction over my head doesn't seem so bad, does it?"

You see, the reason he had always disliked joining factions was his fear of the troublesome rules and regulations within sects.

Not long after Dugu Bo left.

Not far away, the Sea Witch finally finished absorbing the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.

Having absorbed the immortal herb, she had been completely reborn, looking like a different person compared to before.

Her skin was as tender and white as snow, and her face had become even more delicate and pink, as if it would drip water with a gentle pinch. Her figure had also become increasingly graceful.

In particular, those long, slender jade legs were so fair and translucent that they actually reflected light.

Upon waking up, the Sea Witch rushed over, hugged Poseinan, and kissed him fiercely a few times, "Hee hee... Little Nannan! You are too amazing!"

"Look, I actually broke through two full levels of spirit power; I'm at level 94 now!"

One had to know that for a Titled Douluo, a single level of cultivation usually takes years to achieve.

It was not uncommon for someone to be stuck for decades just trying to raise their level by one.

Yet, what about her, the Sea Witch?

By absorbing one immortal herb, she had jumped straight from level 92 to level 94.

Moreover, she could clearly feel that the medicinal power within her had not been fully exhausted.

Her subsequent cultivation would surely be lightning-fast; perhaps in her lifetime, she would even have a chance to break through to level 99!

"Mm-mm... Quick... let me go!"

Wuwuwu, such massive evil!

Poseinan's face turned red from being stifled.

The Sea Witch hurriedly let him go, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled sheepishly, "Little Nannan, that... um, sorry, I was just too excited."

Poseinan glanced helplessly at the snowy white before her.

Damn it, I was almost killed by the World Cup!

What a disgrace!

To ease the awkwardness, Poseinan spoke up, "Sister Hai, since you're awake, help me guard the perimeter."

The Sea Witch put on a serious expression and patted her chest in assurance, "Rest assured, Little Nannan, leave everything to me! Absolutely no one will dare to disturb you."

Poseinan walked to the side, dripped the Gazing Autumn Water Dew he had prepared long ago into his eyes, and began to absorb and refine it.

This was the immortal herb he valued the most, so he had to be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.

Treasures that could enhance spiritual power were almost non-existent across the entire continent, aside from spiritual-type skull bones and immortal herbs.

And the Gazing Autumn Water Dew was a supreme immortal herb capable of significantly boosting spiritual power!

The Sea Witch silently walked to his side, sat down, and kept watch over him quietly.

Meanwhile.

Having just broken through to level 90, Dugu Bo couldn't wait to return home to share the good news with his family.

However, the moment he stepped through the door, he sensed something was wrong.

Where were the servants of the manor?

Why wasn't a single one around?

Just as he was feeling puzzled.

He saw a purple-haired loli running out from the inner room, crying her eyes out.

She was none other than Dugu Bo's only precious granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

Seeing Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan's eyes turned red, and she choked back sobs as she tugged at him to go inside, "Grandpa! Dad seems to be sick again; he's rolling around on the bed right now. Please, save Dad, won't you!"

Dugu Bo's heart trembled, and he thought to himself, This is bad.

Had Xin'er's poison flared up again?

But even after breaking through to Titled Douluo, he hadn't obtained a way to cure it...
