Refining Immortal Herbs!

"You... you are spouting nonsense!"

Exposed in public, Dugu Bo's sinister, aged face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver.

Shame, fury, fear, and disbelief intertwined, causing him to lose his sanity completely.

"Who I kill and who I use for soul rings is none of your business! You bunch of ignorant little mongrels, you must die here today!"

Driven to rage by shame, Dugu Bo let out a beast-like roar. Ignoring the excruciating pain surging through his body, he forcibly squeezed the last remnants of soul power from his dantian.

"Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor!"

Accompanied by a shrill hiss, a massive, emerald-green snake shadow emerged behind Dugu Bo.

He merged instantly with the snake shadow, transforming into a lethal green streak. Baring fangs dripping with foul, venomous liquid, he lunged recklessly toward Ling Xuqing.

"Seeking death."

A flash of extreme disgust crossed Zi Ji's eyes.

She lifted her right foot casually.

"Boom--!"

A tangible wave of purple dragon might transformed into a giant dragon claw, instantly pinning Dugu Bo firmly to the ground from mid-air!

"Crack!"

The sound of shattering bones was teeth-grinding.

Before Dugu Bo could even let out a scream, he was pressed so hard against the ground by this terrifying dragon might that he couldn't even move a finger.

The Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor phantom he was so proud of trembled in fear under this pure draconic pressure and dissipated instantly.

"You... you..."

Dugu Bo lay on the ground, blood staining his green robes.

He lifted his head with great difficulty, looking at Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena, his eyes filled with deep despair and terror.

He could not understand how these two seemingly harmless children could be accompanied by such an unstoppable monster!

However, Ling Xuqing did not even glance at Dugu Bo again.

He turned around, took Gu Yuena's hand, and strolled leisurely toward the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Brother, do you know the uses of these immortal herbs?" Gu Yuena looked at the plants emitting strange light on the bank, curiosity flickering in her purple eyes.

"Of course I do." Ling Xuqing's gaze swept over the immortal herbs, and he said indifferently, "However, there isn't much useful to us right now. The best way is to send someone to guard this treasure land so it isn't snatched by outsiders."

Gu Yuena nodded obediently, turned to look at Zi Ji, and instructed, "Zi Ji, notify Bi Ji and have her come to guard and manage the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"Yes, Master!" Zi Ji replied respectfully.

Having arranged everything, Ling Xuqing's gaze turned back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

His sight passed over the rare herbs and finally locked onto the two immortal herbs at the junction of the frigid yin spring and the scorching yang spring.

One was entirely ice-blue, resembling an octagonal snowflake; the other was shaped like a flame, with petals like burning clouds.

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Blazing Apricot Delicate.

"Let's start with you two."

Ling Xuqing let go of Gu Yuena's hand and walked toward the spring without hesitation.

He reached both hands into the freezing and scorching waters and pulled the two immortal herbs out by their roots.

Without the slightest hesitation, he tilted his head back and swallowed both herbs in one gulp!

Immediately after, Ling Xuqing kicked off with his legs and leaped directly into the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"Splash!"

"You... you are insane!!!"

Pinned to the ground, Dugu Bo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this, and he let out a cry of disbelief.

"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate are both ultimate poisons! Taking them directly, combined with the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, even a Titled Douluo might not survive! Is this brat trying to kill himself?!"

However, no one present paid any heed to Dugu Bo's horror.

Although Xiao Wu, A Yin, Gu Yuena, and Zi Ji were filled with worry, they had absolute trust in Ling Xuqing.

Gu Yuena glanced at Ling Xuqing bobbing in the spring, then turned her head and said to Xiao Wu and A Yin with a solemn expression: "Xiao Wu, use your Invincible Golden Body to protect Brother's heart meridian! A Yin, use your origin power to provide Brother with life-healing energy!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Wu and A Yin did not hesitate for a second, instantly transforming into two streaks of light as they flew out from his sea of consciousness.

Xiao Wu erupted with a brilliant golden light, forming an indestructible shield that enveloped Ling Xuqing's heart.

A Yin released a gentle, blue-green life aura, pouring it continuously into Ling Xuqing's body to repair the meridians torn apart by the medicinal power of the immortal herbs.

Having arranged this, Gu Yuena turned to look at Zi Ji, her purple eyes flashing with wisdom and decisiveness:

"Zi Ji, tell Bi Ji that Brother is about to break through to level thirty. When she comes to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, have her prepare the soul beasts."

"Preferably those willing to sacrifice themselves voluntarily and become Brother's Soul Spirit. They must be over one hundred thousand years old!"

Gu Yuena's voice carried unquestionable majesty: "Tell them, as long as they are willing to become Brother's contracted Soul Spirit, they can share his godhood once he becomes a god!"

"Yes, Master!" Zi Ji's expression tightened, and she immediately took the order.

Lying on the ground, Dugu Bo heard Gu Yuena's words, and his entire being fell into extreme shock and terror.

"Be... become a god?! Share a godhood?!"

Dugu Bo's mind went blank.

This little girl was actually talking about deities?!

What kind of monster was this?!

Just as Dugu Bo lost his composure—

"Boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

An extremely intense force of ice and fire fusion surged into the sky from the spring!

The entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well boiled instantly, the water churning violently. Scalding steam and bone-chilling ice mist intertwined, forming a massive pillar of light that shot straight to the top of the cavern!

"Ah--!!!"

In the spring, Ling Xuqing let out a painful roar.

The ultimate cold of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the ultimate heat of the Blazing Apricot Delicate clashed crazily within his body.

The two forces acted like millstones, grinding his limbs and bones relentlessly.

His skin cracked repeatedly, blood seeping out, only to be healed rapidly by A Yin's life-healing power.

"Roar--!!!"

Following Ling Xuqing's painful roar, two ancient and sorrowful dragon cries suddenly echoed from the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Two massive phantoms rose slowly from the spring.

One was the ice-blue Ice Dragon King, and the other was the Fire Dragon King, whose body burned with raging flames.

They had awakened!

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings looked at the human boy enduring extreme pain in the spring, their eyes filled with shock and complexity.

"He... he actually dared to swallow our companion immortal herbs simultaneously and jump into the Yin Yang Well to temper his body?" The Ice Dragon King's voice carried disbelief.

"Not only that, but within his body... there is actually the origin aura of the Golden Dragon King!" The Fire Dragon King's tone was filled with shock.

Gu Yuena stood on the bank, her purple eyes flashing with excitement.

She looked at the two dragon shadows and said softly:

"Two seniors, he is the successor of the Dragon God and the heir to the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. He needs your help."

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings looked at each other. They felt the pure and domineering Golden Dragon King aura within Ling Xuqing, and they also felt the bond of the Silver Dragon King on Gu Yuena.

"Very well..." The Ice Dragon King sighed, "Our consciousness is about to dissipate; let us gift this origin to him."

"May the glory of the Dragon God shine upon the Douluo Continent once more." The Fire Dragon King also nodded.

The next second, the two dragon shadows transformed into two streams of extremely pure origin power—one blue and one red—and rushed into Ling Xuqing's body without hesitation!

"Boom--!!!"

The Golden Dragon King's origin, the Ice Dragon King's origin, and the Fire Dragon King's origin—the three forces fused completely within Ling Xuqing's body!

At this moment, Ling Xuqing's aura underwent a true transformation!
