Ling Feng stepped forward, picked the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and drank the dewdrop from its petals.
In an instant, Ling Feng felt his mind clear.
The Immortal Herb's medicinal power was incredibly potent. An ordinary person might struggle to adapt to the sudden surge in spiritual power.
But Ling Feng was different. Bibi Dong had already opened his Sea of Consciousness, so it could fully withstand the medicinal power of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
Bibi Dong, who was staying in Ling Feng's Sea of Consciousness, suddenly noticed it expanding without pause.
His surging spiritual power had undergone a dramatic transformation.
"What kind of spiritual medicine did he take? How could it have such an effect?" Bibi Dong was utterly shocked.
Even in her previous life, when she had been the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, she had never taken spiritual medicine of this caliber.
"That kid's luck is absurd. He actually stumbled across such a top-grade treasure."
After Ling Feng took the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, its medicinal power wasn't completely absorbed.
The remaining power stayed in his body, slowly strengthening his spiritual foundations.
"The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew is said to refine Fiery Golden Eyes when consumed. It really is extraordinary!" Ling Feng thought.
The Immortal Herb's medicinal power not only enhanced his spiritual strength, but also granted him an ocular skill: Fiery Golden Eyes.
Of course, they weren't Sun Wukong's Fiery Golden Eyes. They were simply eyes with abilities such as seeing through illusions.
In other words, skills like illusions, charms, and mental attacks would pose far less of a threat to him, or even fail completely.
"Too bad I don't have the cultivation method for the Purple Demon Eye. Otherwise, maybe I could cultivate an offensive skill!"
Only after taking the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew did Ling Feng turn his attention to the two Immortal Herbs beside the Cold Spring and Sun Spring.
"Time to refine my body with the Ice and Fire Golden Body!"
These two Immortal Herbs couldn't be picked by hand. They had to be harvested with iron and jade tools to avoid damaging their medicinal power.
Ling Feng had prepared those things long ago.
"What's that kid up to now?"
"Even back when I hadn't become a god, I wouldn't have dared to touch too much of the water in that pool."
"He's only a Soul Elder. How could he dare get so close?"
Bibi Dong watched Ling Feng quietly, without interrupting.
Then Ling Feng took off his clothes and stepped forward. Using an iron dagger and a jade dagger, he picked the two Immortal Herbs.
As soon as he had picked them, Ling Feng swiftly released his External Soul Bone and used his Eight Spider Lances to pull the herbs in front of him.
"Hiss!" Ling Feng sucked in a breath of miasma.
The power of the two Immortal Herbs was immense. Even Ling Feng's Eight Spider Lances were damaged by them.
One Spider Lance had been scorched black, while another had frozen over and cracked.
Although Ling Feng hadn't completely refined this External Soul Bone, he felt its pain as if he himself had been injured.
"To hell with it!"
Once the two Immortal Herbs were placed together, their extreme cold and heat faded away.
Ling Feng immediately picked them up and shoved them both into his mouth.
The two Immortal Herbs were huge, and Ling Feng had thought he wouldn't be able to swallow them. But they melted as soon as they entered his mouth, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he swallowed the herbs, Ling Feng's body began to change.
His body swelled. One half of his skin turned bright red, radiating heat that warped the air.
The other half turned bluish-purple, frosting over and giving off cold air.
The two colors met, leaving Ling Feng in agony.
Ling Feng immediately leaped into the spot where the milky-white pool met the scarlet one, hoping to use the spring water to refine the herbs.
"Has that kid gone mad?!"
Seeing Ling Feng leap into the pool, Bibi Dong thought he was trying to kill himself.
If Ling Feng died by suicide, she wouldn't last long either before she vanished with him.
And the young Bibi Dong, now in Spirit Hall, would probably have to suffer all over again through the pain she had once endured.
Bibi Dong was about to act, using the power of her incomplete divine soul to rescue Ling Feng.
But the instant he entered the water, she sensed that his condition was stable and nothing was wrong.
The spring water where the ice and fire met was even helping temper Ling Feng's body.
"Could it be... those two spiritual herbs?" Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
She could tell that Ling Feng had been prepared.
"Those two spiritual herbs are no ordinary things, either. They can actually withstand this terrifying spring water!"
"His body seems to be growing stronger at an incredible rate," Bibi Dong suddenly sensed.
In her previous life, she had absorbed seven Soul Bones and many Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings to strengthen her body. She had also cultivated a Beast Martial Soul, making her physical body exceptionally powerful. She naturally understood the benefits of a strong body.
"Looks like I'll have to investigate this kid's secrets properly!" Bibi Dong thought.
At first, she had only wanted Ling Feng to help change the fate of the young Bibi Dong.
But now she felt she could train Ling Feng as well, turning him into another ally of her own.
She could even have him help her take revenge: kill Tang Hao, destroy the Clear Sky Sect, and even slay the Asura God and Sea God.
Several days passed in a flash.
The miasma over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well still shrouded the valley.
Just then, ripples appeared where the milky-white and fiery-red pools met.
Ling Feng surfaced, let out a long breath of turbid air, then inhaled a mouthful of miasma.
But the miasma from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could no longer harm him at all.
"I finally did it!" Ling Feng exclaimed, delighted.
He had endured untold suffering over the past few days. Refining the Ice and Fire Golden Body was no easy feat.
But after completing the Ice and Fire Golden Body, Ling Feng's body had changed.
His skin was as smooth and delicate as jade, like a woman's.
Beneath his skin, his blood flowed with a faint golden glow. With a surge of Soul Power, he could form a golden protective barrier.
More importantly, the Soul Power in his dantian had turned into a vortex.
The vortex contained the extreme attributes of ice and fire, forming a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well inside his body.
With this miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the spiritual energy of the world would gather around him.
Wherever he was became a little paradise, greatly accelerating cultivation and the growth of spiritual herbs.
"Now that I've forged the Ice and Fire Golden Body, I'm practically immune to fire and water, and all poisons!"
Ling Feng climbed ashore. Milky-white and red spring water dripped from his body, leaving flecks of frost and small pits on the ground.
Looking at the Immortal Herbs and spiritual medicines around him, Ling Feng really wanted to pick them and take them with him.
But he didn't have a Storage Soul Tool, so he would have to wait until he got one.
"No matter. Dugu Bo won't discover this place anytime soon. I'll come back once I have a Storage Soul Tool!" Ling Feng thought.
"Next, I'm going to Spirit City!"
Ling Feng had no intention of breaking his promise.
Reborn into the world of Douluo Continent, how could he not go meet the legendary Bibi Dong?
If he didn't make some changes and let all those tragedies happen again, wouldn't his second life have been for nothing?
