Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining! Level Ninety!

"As long as you store all the toxins within a Spirit Bone, using it as an external toxin-storage organ, your bodies will naturally no longer suffer backlash from the poison."

Ronan explained.

"Brilliant! Simply brilliant!"

Dugu Bo was so excited that he could not help slamming the table in praise.

Such a simple principle—he had studied poison his entire life, yet had never thought of it!

Forcing the toxins into a Spirit Bone was practically a perfect cultivation method tailor-made for their Jade Phosphorous Serpent lineage!

"This method will not be much of a problem for your granddaughter, Dugu Yan."

"She is still young, and her cultivation is still shallow. The toxins in her body have not yet seeped into her marrow. As long as she finds a suitable Spirit Bone, transferring the toxins into it will be easy," Ronan continued.

"But for you, the process will be rather long and painful."

Ronan looked at Dugu Bo.

"The toxins in your body have accumulated for decades. They have long since fused with your blood and bone marrow."

"To gradually strip away these toxins and force them into a Spirit Bone would be no different from unraveling silk thread from a cocoon or scraping poison from the bone."

"Moreover, throughout this process, you must find a way to suppress the remaining toxins in your body. Otherwise, if the poison erupts, you will undoubtedly die."

Dugu Bo knew Ronan was right.

The toxins in his body had sunk too deep. Completely removing them would absolutely not be easy.

But as long as there was even a sliver of hope, he would never give up!

"Brother Ronan, words cannot express my gratitude!"

"I shall return at once to find a suitable Spirit Bone and attempt this method!"

Dugu Bo solemnly bowed to Ronan.

"Go." Ronan nodded faintly.

Dugu Bo said nothing more. He was already impatient to return and test Ronan's method.

His figure flashed, transforming into a streak of jade-green light as he hurried away from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Ronan knew that forcing toxins into a Spirit Bone could indeed solve the Dugu Clan's poison backlash problem.

But as he had said, the process would be extremely long and painful for Dugu Bo.

In truth, Ronan knew very well that there was an even simpler and more thorough method—one that could instantly detoxify Dugu Bo and even completely transform his body.

That was to directly consume the two immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot!

One of these immortal herbs contained the ultimate power of ice, while the other contained the ultimate power of fire.

As long as they were consumed together, followed by tempering the body in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one could forge an Ice and Fire Golden Body immune to all poisons!

By then, the mere Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison could no longer inflict any harm upon Dugu Bo.

But how could Ronan possibly tell Dugu Bo this method?

"What a joke. These two immortal herbs are treasures I have already claimed. How could I let you, Old Poison, have them?"

Ronan turned around, his gaze burning as he looked at the two immortal herbs beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, each radiating a strange halo.

One was snow-white all over, emanating bone-piercing cold. It was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

The other was fiery red all over, resembling a cabbage and radiating scorching heat. It was the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

"Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining... this is a heaven-defying opportunity capable of greatly enhancing physical attributes and even changing the quality of one's Martial Soul!"

Ronan licked his lips, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

"Old Poison, you can slowly suffer on your own!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ronan activated his Soul Power and carefully harvested the two immortal herbs using a specially made jade knife and golden scissors.

"Hiss—"

Even with Soul Power protecting his body, the instant he touched the two immortal herbs, Ronan still felt extreme cold and scorching heat surge from his fingertips straight into his mind.

He did not dare delay. He immediately stuffed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot into his mouth together, chewed them haphazardly a few times, and forcibly swallowed them.

Boom!

Two utterly opposing yet equally violent energies exploded within Ronan's body!

Extreme cold and extreme heat—these two forces that should have been irreconcilable—madly collided and battled within Ronan's meridians.

One half of his body formed a thick layer of frost, while the other turned blood-red, as though he could be torn apart at any moment by this terrifying power.

"Urgh—!"

Ronan let out a pained growl. Rather than trying to suppress this power, he leaped into the spring waters of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

Splash!

Ronan's body landed precisely at the boundary between the milky-white and vermilion spring waters.

The Ice and Fire Spring Water outside his body instantly resonated with the medicinal power of the immortal herbs within him.

An even more immense and violent force of ice and fire, like countless steel blades, frantically sliced through Ronan's flesh, tendons, bones, and even his soul!

"Refine!"

Ronan gritted his teeth and wildly activated the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline within him.

Along with a soaring dragon's roar, the phantom of the Golden Sacred Dragon emerged behind Ronan.

Under the tempering of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, traces of icy-blue and crimson patterns began to emerge across the Golden Sacred Dragon's originally pure golden scales.

The source powers of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were continuously flowing through the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well into Ronan's Martial Soul and flesh!

Time seemed to lose all meaning amid this extreme agony.

Ronan's consciousness gradually blurred amid the alternating ice and fire.

Yet he always held on to a thread of clarity in his mind.

He allowed that terrifying power to cleanse his tendons and marrow.

No one knew how much time had passed.

When Ronan opened his eyes again, even the spring waters of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well seemed to have dimmed somewhat.

He slowly rose from the spring water.

At this moment, Ronan's entire body radiated a flawless glow, as though he were a god.

His skin was fair as jade, yet it possessed an indestructible texture.

His already well-proportioned, powerful muscles were now filled with explosive strength.

"So this is... Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining?"

Ronan clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within him that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth. A smile curled across his lips.

With a thought, a ball of icy-blue cold air and a ball of crimson flame appeared in his left and right hands respectively.

"Not only did I gain a physique immune to both ice and fire, I even gained control over the ice and fire elements!"

A flash of delight appeared in Ronan's eyes.

This was unquestionably a qualitative leap in his combat strength.

Yet an even greater surprise was still to come.

Ronan closed his eyes and sensed the fluctuations of Soul Power within his body.

Boom!

A vast surge of Soul Power, several times stronger than before and as boundless as an ocean, erupted from within him!

Level ninety!

Driven by the immense medicinal power of Ice and Fire Golden Body Refining and the two immortal herbs, Ronan's Soul Power had crossed a six-level gap in one breath!

It had directly soared to the level ninety bottleneck!
