Ice-Fire Body Tempering, Ultimate Cold Poison!

At this moment, seeing that Qian Renxue still had not made up her mind, Snake Lance Douluo finally spoke. "Young Master, this matter is very beneficial to us. Perhaps... we can directly secure the position of crown prince! If we wait until the position is decided before eliminating the other princes, suspicion will fall on us far less."

"I know."

Qian Renxue's expression darkened, and she felt as sick as if she had swallowed a dead fly. Yet the more clearly she thought it through, the more she wanted to curse. Because the solutions to this matter had become: first, kill Dugu Bo. Second, personally ask to marry a woman!

The first option could easily place her in a passive position and might even brand her with the mark of Spirit Hall.

The second option... she was a woman, yet she had to get engaged to another woman? And she had to be the one to propose... If she did not form a marriage alliance with Dugu Yan, then Xue Luochuan would be the one to do so!

In the struggle for the position of crown prince, she would clearly fall into a disadvantageous position! By then, if she did not use Spirit Hall's power, taking the position of crown prince from Xue Luochuan would become exceedingly difficult!

The more Qian Renxue thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the more clearly she understood what she needed to do next.

Because as long as she formed a marriage alliance with Dugu Yan, the road ahead would be... completely smooth!

Moreover, a marriage alliance was far more solid than a master-disciple relationship!

Snake Lance Douluo stood silently to the side. He had already given the reminder he needed to give. The rest was for the young master to think through; every decision had to be made by the young master herself.

Elsewhere.

The moment Dugu Bo returned to Dugu Manor, he took Dugu Lin with him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Over the past few days, influenced by Dugu Lin's embellishments and a series of strange questions,

Dugu Bo had also begun to wonder whether Spirit Hall had something wrong with its head!

They had so many Titled Douluo. They could casually send out a few and sweep through the entire world of soul masters, so why had they sent Spirit Hall's young master to be an undercover agent? It was simply a waste of precious cultivation time.

What Dugu Lin did not say was that Qian Renxue's infiltration plan was not a waste of time. It was the only plan that could seize the Heaven Dou Empire without spilling a drop of blood!

"Lin'er, do you think our plan can really succeed?"

"Of course!"

Dugu Lin said confidently, "Qian Renxue will definitely agree, because she desperately wants Bibi Dong's recognition. Therefore, she absolutely will not allow the mission to steal the nation to fail. She will definitely come to us!"

"Fine, let's not discuss that for now. Are you ready to absorb those two Immortal Herbs today?"

"Mm, it's time! More than ten years from now, when Tang San absorbed those two herbs, his Soul Power was only in the thirties. But when it comes to physical strength, his body was nowhere near as strong as mine!"

"How about we eat another piece of Whale Rubber? It could raise your physical strength a little more."

With the moment at hand, Dugu Bo was still worried. Although his grandson spoke with complete confidence, even he did not dare approach the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Yet after consuming the two Immortal Herbs, his grandson still had to jump in.

"There's no need, Grandpa. Don't worry. Quickly help me pick the two Immortal Herbs. I have to consume them within ten breaths after they are picked. I remember they said something about using gold for one and jade for the other when picking them."

"Fine, fine. It's enough that you have your own ideas."

Dugu Bo stopped trying to persuade him. After accepting that Dugu Lin had been reborn, he understood that there would be no danger in consuming the two Immortal Herbs this way. Still, understanding did not stop him from worrying.

Immediately, Dugu Bo circulated his Soul Power and tested them with gold and jade utensils. He soon learned that the Infernal Delicate Apricot had to be picked with jade, while the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass had to be picked with gold.

After picking the two Immortal Herbs, he swiftly used his Soul Power to carry them before Dugu Lin. The ultimate attributes of the two herbs restrained and reinforced one another, so they did not erupt with an unbearable aura. Without hesitation, Dugu Lin placed both herbs directly into his mouth.

Immediately after!

Dugu Lin waited only an instant. The moment he sensed the two powers within his body beginning to take effect, he leaped into the very center of the pool.

Wild energy battered his flesh without pause as scorching heat and extreme cold, two utterly different attributes, clashed against each other.

In an instant, Dugu Lin's clothes were dissolved by the pool water. Half froze into icy fragments, while the other half burned to ashes.

One half of the pool was a freezing spring, the other a boiling broth. Yin and yang coexisted, clearly divided, like a taiji symbol.

Dugu Lin gritted his teeth and endured the agony of Ice-Fire body tempering, doing his utmost to control the Soul Power within him as he refined the medicinal effects of the Immortal Herbs. Time quietly passed. Half an hour, then an hour... Gradually, Dugu Lin's consciousness blurred, and his body relied on instinct to absorb the herbs' effects and the Soul Power between heaven and earth to strengthen his flesh.

At a certain moment, the external Spirit, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, suddenly appeared on its own in the pool. Strands of Ultimate Ice Soul Power flowed into its body.

By the poolside, Dugu Bo watched anxiously as his grandson sank beneath the water, struggling to remain calm.

Fortunately, Dugu Lin had prepared him beforehand before consuming the two Immortal Herbs. Otherwise, Dugu Bo would have been frantic enough to jump in place by now.

The sun set and rose.

It was not until the following night, when Dugu Lin regained consciousness and opened his eyes, that he immediately heard Dugu Bo's voice.

"Lin'er, you're finally awake! Hurry and come up!"

Only then did Dugu Lin realize that he was in the center of the freezing pool. He said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. Right now, it feels like I'm taking a cold bath!"

Having successfully refined the two Immortal Herbs, the two kinds of water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could no longer harm him in the slightest.

From this day on, he possessed an Ice-Fire Golden Body, impervious to water and fire, immune to all poisons!

"Get up here!"

"Okay~"

Controlling the Soul Power within his body, Dugu Lin sprang onto the shore.

"Cough, cough~ Grandpa, give me some clothes first."

"Don't rush. Let Grandpa check whether there's anything wrong with your body first. You haven't even grown any hair yet, so what are you embarrassed about!"

"No! Grandpa, I'm in a hurry! I'm not some six-year-old child!" Dugu Lin covered his substantial manhood with a solemn expression.

"Uh... fine then, hahahaha~~"

Dugu Bo remembered as well. His grandson had been reborn. He had the body of a six-year-old, but the soul of a thirty-year-old, so he knew what embarrassment was.

A moment later.

After Dugu Lin had gotten dressed, Dugu Bo examined his body as well.

"This... Lin'er, your physical strength has increased dramatically again! It has risen by roughly four to five thousand years! Even absorbing an eight-thousand-year second Soul Ring would pose no problem! Hm? Your Soul Power seems to have risen a little too."

"Mm, my Soul Power has increased by one level. I'm level fifteen now."

Although those two supreme Immortal Herbs for body tempering could not increase Soul Power, the remaining medicinal effects of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid within his body had almost all been triggered, which was why his Soul Power rose by another level.

"Is there anything else special?"

"Ultimate Ice! I gained the Ultimate Ice attribute!"

Dugu Lin was extremely excited!

The greatest contributor to obtaining Ultimate Ice was none other than the external Spirit, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent! If the Jade Phosphorous Serpent had not been an external Spirit, Ultimate Ice would have long since canceled out Ultimate Fire, and he would not have gained the Ultimate Ice attribute.

Then, poison and Ultimate Ice combined into dual attributes, evolving into: Ultimate Cold Poison!

Moreover! This Ultimate Cold Poison could become even stronger. Once the poison attribute could also evolve into Ultimate Poison, Dugu Lin believed that he would be able to fight and kill soul masters a full major realm above himself.
