Ice-Fire Origin Power Was the Most Extreme 'Medicine' in This World!
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xia felt Bibi Dong's arms loosen their grip on him slightly, and his breathing gradually became long and steady, as if his tense nerves were finally able to rest for a moment.
Lin Xia carefully raised her head and saw Bibi Dong with her eyes closed, tiny teardrops still clinging to her long eyelashes, shimmering faintly in the moonlight. Her beautiful yet weary face now exuded a sense of peace, as if all burdens had been lifted.
Nourished by Lin Xia's Divine Blood, her hands had healed considerably. The charring and frostbite had almost completely disappeared, leaving only some faint pinkish new marks. Presumably, they would soon be fully recovered.
A huge weight was finally lifted from Lin Xia's shoulders.
He shifted slightly, trying to make Bibi Dong more comfortable, but his gaze fell upon several things lying quietly not far away, illuminated by the aura of the Ivysaur —a Right Arm Soul Bone radiating a gentle Soul Power fluctuation, and the Alchemy Cauldron left behind by Dugu Bo.
Yes, there's still the hidden danger of Dugu Yan that needs to be addressed.
Lin Xia's eyes regained their focus and brightness.
He felt the powerful energy flowing through his body, and the two dormant yet immensely powerful Divine Source Orbs deep within his heart.
A slight smile appeared on Lin Xia's lips.
Lin Xia took a soft breath and broke the tranquil warmth with the calmest and most reassuring voice.
"Master, please rest for a bit. I'll stay right here and won't leave."
As if she had truly heard Lin Xia's words in her sleep, Bibi Dong's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and her breathing became long and steady. However, even in her sleep, her hands, which were still embracing Lin Xia, still carried a trace of barely Frisk affection.
Lin Xia carefully, as if moving the finest porcelain, gently removed her master's arms from her embrace, allowing her to lean against a warm, smooth rock behind her in a more comfortable position.
He took off his still-dry outer robe and gently covered Bibi Dong with it, his fingertips brushing away the undried tear stains on her face, his eyes filled with heartache and determination.
After settling his master in, Lin Xia took a deep breath. His body, reshaped by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's essence, allowed him to remain energetic despite such a dramatic change.
His sharp gaze fell on a spot not far away—where lay a Millennium Right Arm Soul Bone, radiating a faint green light and pulsating with pure Soul Power, as well as the ancient and heavy Alchemy Cauldron left behind by Dugu Bo.
It's time to fulfill our promise.
Lin Xia silently recited the mantra, her gaze becoming focused and calm.
He walked to the medicine cauldron, and the information he had from his previous life about the "Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison" of Dugu Bo and his grandson instantly merged with the amazing insight into the nature of energy and matter brought by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's origin.
"Dugu Yan's poisoning is still mild; the toxins rooted in her Martial Soul have not yet penetrated her bone marrow and internal organs. Now is the perfect time to fuse with a high-quality Spirit Bone."
Lin Xia's thinking was incredibly clear.
"The Spirit Bone is like an extra container and amplifier for the body. It guides the circulation of her Soul Power, Sheer Force absorbs, compresses, and seals the scattered toxins within the Spirit Bone. This can 'remove the firewood from under the pot.' Although it cannot cure the toxicity of the Martial Soul itself, it is enough to ensure her life and prevent her from suffering backlash in her future cultivation."
Lin Xia's gaze shifted to the medicine cauldrons.
"As for Dugu Bo... the poison has penetrated to the bone marrow, even becoming completely entangled with his Soul Power. Removing the poison with external force is almost impossible; the only option is... replacement!"
A knowing glint flashed in Lin Xia's eyes.
"I have now absorbed the Immortal Herb, but the power of Ice-Fire Origin is the most ultimate 'medicine' in this world!"
Lin Xia did not hesitate.
He sat cross-legged in front of the medicine cauldron, but instead of lighting a fire, he simply stretched out his hands.
A wisp of extremely pure, icy blue aura, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, quietly spread from the palm of his left hand.
A cluster of blazing, domineering, Red flames, capable of incinerating the void, Splash the palm of his right hand!
Ice and fire, two diametrically opposed divine energies capable of destroying everything, were now as docile as his own limbs in his hands.
With a slight thought, he precisely channeled icy blue energy into the bottom of the cauldron, instantly freezing the hard metal walls into a layer of dazzling ice crystals.
Under his skillful control, the Red flames hovered above the ice layer, neither melting the ice crystals nor emitting a stable high temperature.
"No need for ordinary fire; using ice as the base and fire as the catalyst, refining the primordial energy of heaven and earth becomes the purest medicinal ingredient."
Lin Xia whispered, her spiritual power like invisible tentacles reaching deep into the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, drawing upon the pure life force and ice and fire elements contained within, which had been imbued with the essence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings for ten thousand years.
Wisps of red and white energy, visible to the Sisi eye, seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, separating from the gurgling spring water and swimming into the medicine cauldron like serpents.
Within the special "furnace" formed by the icy blue chill and Red flames, this pure energy is rapidly purified and refined, removing its ferocity and leaving only the most primal life essence and the gentle harmonizing power of ice and fire.
Lin Xia's movements were fluid and graceful, carrying an indescribable Daoist charm.
He would occasionally flick his finger, injecting a wisp of his own pure Soul Power, which had been fused with the essence of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, into the cauldron as a fusion agent.
He would sometimes close his eyes to perceive, using his extraordinary mental strength to precisely control the proportion and fusion of energy within the cauldron.
Time passed slowly.
Inside the cauldron, red and white energy mist gradually merged, slowly condensing and compressing under the catalysis of the power of Ice-Fire Origin.
Finally, with a soft hum, the lid of the cauldron opened on its own, and three pills, each the size of a longan, perfectly round, and displaying a strange interweaving of red, white, and gold colors, floated out quietly.
The pill's surface was as smooth as glass, and its interior seemed to contain the birth and death of stars, radiating a powerful yet gentle life force, as well as a trace of Frisk yet powerful Fire God that could suppress all poisons.
The moment the elixir took shape, a refreshing and unique fragrance filled the air. Even the sleeping Bibi Dong seemed to unconsciously sniff the air in her dream, making her sleeping face appear even more peaceful.
Lin Xia put away the pills with satisfaction, then picked up the Millennium Right Arm Soul Bone. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and contained abundant Soul Power; its quality was indeed superior.
Without further delay, he got up and walked towards the simple wooden hut that Dugu Bo had built on the other side of the valley.
"Senior Dugu, Sister Yanyan, please come out."
Lin Xia's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly Infiltrator the wooden door and reached inside the house.
The wooden door creaked open, and Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan immediately appeared in the doorway.
The grandfather and granddaughter had clearly not slept well. Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with deep worry and a hint of anticipation, while Dugu Yan was more nervous and curious. Her gaze immediately fell on the Spirit Bone in Lin Xia's hand and the three pills that emitted a strange light.
"Your His Highness the Holy Son, what is this...?"
Dugu Bo's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes fixed on the three pills. He could feel the immense vitality contained within them, but he also instinctively Frisk a higher-level aura that made even his Martial Soul tremble.
