The impurities in Lu Mingfei's bones were burned away, then frozen and stripped off. Under the alternating stimulation of extreme heat and cold, his muscle fibers became denser and tougher.
A thin protective film, impervious to fire and water, formed over the surface of his skin.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass gave him the power to withstand extreme cold.
The Infernal Delicate Apricot gave him the ability to resist scorching heat.
The two achieved a mysterious balance within him, making his entire body seem as though it had been reforged, brimming with new vitality.
He drifted up and down in the water, his body seeming to melt into the embrace of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The powers of extreme cold and extreme heat continuously surged into his body in turns, tempering every inch of him from the inside out.
The sensation was unbelievably comfortable.
So comfortable that he did not even want to leave the water. He only wanted to immerse himself in this warm, peaceful world.
Lu Mingfei drifted up and down in the spring waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his body wrapped alternately in extreme cold and heat.
The feeling was far too comfortable.
So comfortable that his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, his consciousness blurrier and blurrier, as though he were falling asleep.
At last, he gave up resisting. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to sink into that soft, peaceful darkness.
In the darkness, he had a long, long dream.
In the dream, he stood at the edge of an enormous circular well.
The mouth of the well stood wide open, its depths unfathomable.
A shadowy wind rose from the bottom, carrying a fishy stench and some rotten odor, like breath surging up from the depths of hell.
