Su Changqing's gaze fell upon the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, radiating extreme cold, and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, emanating a scorching aura. Without the slightest hesitation, he bent down and plucked them.
The two great Immortal Herbs, one yin and one yang, perfectly matched his two Martial Souls!
The moment he touched them, the interweaving essence of ice and fire surged through Su Changqing's entire body.
His eyes narrowed, and golden light flared. The previously wild fluctuations in his aura were instantly suppressed by Su Changqing!
Next, the Immortal Herbs were uprooted, successfully harvested!
Su Changqing unhesitatingly shoved them into his mouth simultaneously. Without even chewing carefully, he swallowed them down with a gulp!
Two diametrically opposed, yet equally dominant medicinal forces, like a sleeping volcano and an erupting avalanche, exploded within his body!
"Ugh...!"
A muffled groan escaped him.
Although Su Changqing could suppress the external damage inflicted by the two Immortal Herbs, the moment they were absorbed into his body, intense discomfort instantly flooded him!
The extreme agony, as if his soul were being torn apart and every cell was cycling between freezing and burning, made even Su Changqing's expression turn grim.
Half of his body was covered in thick blue frost, his eyebrows and hair turned white, while the other half had crimson skin, with fine blood beads seeping from his pores, emitting white steam.
The two forces clashed and tore madly within his meridians. If not for his physique being strengthened multiple times and the Power of Light protecting his heart, he would have exploded on the spot.
"My Light attribute suppresses all. I don't believe I can't endure this!"
Su Changqing gritted his teeth, the golden light around him intensifying. Simultaneously, a cold white radiance also emanated, appearing on the other half of his body affected by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
That was precisely the Kirame Martial Soul!
"Buzz—"
As the Kirame Martial Soul was released, these two violent and mutually restraining energies were actually balanced!
Su Changqing's complexion eased considerably, but the sensation of energy clashing still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Time seemed to stretch infinitely at this moment.
After an unknown duration, the rampant ice and fire energy, under the constant harmonization and nourishment of the two Light attributes, finally ceased being purely destructive.
They began to slowly integrate into Su Changqing's limbs, internal organs, and even deeper into his bone marrow and blood vessels.
Breaking and then rebuilding!
The previously damaged meridians became wider and tougher after being repaired.
His bones were coated with a faint, interwoven luster of gold, red, and blue. The power contained within his flesh and blood increased exponentially.
Su Changqing's body was undergoing a fundamental transformation.
More importantly, the Mirai phantom behind him became increasingly solid, its golden radiance purer and more restrained, yet carrying an indescribable majesty.
The origin of his Martial Soul had undergone changes under the baptism of the ice and fire purgatory and the nourishment of the Immortal Herb's medicinal power!
It was about to evolve!
His Mirai Martial Soul was not far from its final evolution!
When the last trace of rampant medicinal power was completely subdued and absorbed, Su Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light disappearing within them, as if two tiny suns were floating there.
He stood up, feeling the changes in his body's energy, and a satisfied curve finally appeared on his lips.
His Light attribute had become even stronger!
"Buzz—"
In the next moment, a surge of energy erupted from his body, and his Soul Power began to climb. The Kirame Martial Soul was actually undergoing a transformation!
Su Changqing immediately jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, releasing his Kirame Martial Soul, and the cold white Power of Light erupted to its extreme.
"What's going on? Could my Martial Soul be out of control???"
Su Changqing's pupils contracted slightly, but he didn't panic.
He stabilized the rampant Soul Power within his body and, after a moment, finally found the reason!
Su Changqing's Soul Power Level climbed steadily: fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-eight, fifty-nine... sixty!
Finally, his Soul Power reached level sixty!
"Buzz—"
In the next moment, his Kirame Martial Soul actually evolved!
It transformed into its final form, Child of the Moon · Kirame!
Su Changqing was overjoyed. He leaped out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and began to stabilize his cultivation, gradually suppressing the rampant energy.
A few days later, Su Changqing emerged from his seclusion. After refining the antidote, he summoned Dugu Bo back.
"Kid, the antidote you gave me is indeed effective! I actually broke through to level ninety-two!" Dugu Bo said with a joyful expression.
Su Changqing nodded calmly, "Yes, I'm glad I could help you, Senior. This is for you."
Dugu Bo accepted the two pills.
"One of these is for you, and the other is for Dugu Yan. You've been poisoned for too long and need two more doses. Dugu Yan only needs one. Once both of your poisons are cleared, come to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well together."
"Alright, I certainly didn't misjudge you."
Dugu Bo put away the pills, not bothering to ask why they needed to come to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after the poison was cured.
He looked at Su Changqing, whose aura was becoming increasingly profound and restrained, even making him feel a subtle pressure from his Martial Soul, and his face showed shock.
This kid's strength had actually made another qualitative leap in such a short time!
"You... you broke through level sixty?"
Su Changqing smiled, "Senior has sharp eyes."
"What kind of Soul Ring do you need? I'll help you."
Su Changqing didn't answer Dugu Bo immediately. Instead, he said with a solemn expression, "Senior, after I completely cure you and your granddaughter, I hope you can agree to one condition."
Dugu Bo asked with interest, "Oh? What condition?"
"I have an enemy. He should be on the kill list by now. He's not much of a threat, but I'm no match for his backer for now. I hope that when I'm in trouble in the future, you can come to my rescue," Su Changqing said slowly.
Dugu Bo chuckled when he heard this.
He thought it was something trivial!
"This is nothing, I agree..."
"That person is the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao."
"?"
Dugu Bo's words came to an abrupt halt.
The air instantly froze.
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply, and he stared intently at Su Changqing, the terrifying aura of a Title Douluo inadvertently leaking out.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Kid, do you know what you're saying? What grudge do you have with the Clear Sky Douluo?"
"A grudge unto death."
Dugu Bo fell silent.
Tang Hao, that was someone he could easily kick to death by the roadside!
But looking at Su Changqing's golden eyes that seemed to see through everything, thinking of his mysterious methods and the kindness he showed in curing him and his granddaughter, and most importantly, seeing Su Changqing's terrifying potential.
"Fine! I promise you!"
Dugu Bo agreed after a long silence.
He decided to take a gamble.
"Thank you, Senior."
Su Changqing cupped his hands in thanks.
He hadn't expected Dugu Bo to agree so readily!
It was all about loyalty!
"Don't worry, I won't let Senior be helpless. I will definitely find a way to help you improve your strength."
"Let's not talk about that now. When are we going to hunt for a Soul Ring?"
Dugu Bo completely dismissed Su Changqing's words as empty promises.
Being able to cure poison was one thing, proving his medical skills, but helping him improve his strength felt a bit too abstract.
"Now."
Su Changqing was direct, "However, I need a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring!"
