With that said, Dugu Yao began directly consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. He first ate the sky-reaching pistil, then the sky-reaching petals. After finishing them, he did not stop.
Instead, he picked up the Extreme Cold Poisonous Immortal Herb and the Extreme Heat Poisonous Immortal Herb held in Xiangliu's mouth—the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot!
Without the slightest hesitation, he stuffed them into his mouth and began chewing. The two opposing attributes of extreme cold and extreme heat clashed within his body, while the Sky Chrysanthemum remained neutral.
The medicinal effects of these three different immortal herbs created a spectacular sight. The left side of his body looked as though it were being scorched by blazing flames, while the right side was swept by an Extreme Cold Storm. At the center of his body, a faint golden glow bloomed!
Just as the two poisonous immortal herbs were about to reach the limit of what his body could endure, he seized the moment and jumped straight into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!
The two springs of ultimate poison, each with a different attribute, balanced the effects of the three immortal herbs.
Dugu Yao gritted his teeth and held on by sheer force of will. Gradually, his entire body sank beneath the spring water. His consciousness began to fade, but his body continued absorbing the medicinal effects of the immortal herbs by instinct.
A day and a night passed—nothing more than a sunset and a sunrise—as time slipped by quietly.
When Dugu Yao regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he found himself in the middle of the spring, surrounded by the two springs of ultimate poison.
To him now, they were no different from a cold bath and a hot bath. They could no longer harm him in any way.
With the stimulation of these two springs of ultimate poison, the effects of the three herbs completely fused. Immunity to Water and Fire Body—complete! Indestructible Vajra Body—complete!
However, he could not yet fully refine all their medicinal effects. Most of the power remained accumulated within his body, and only once his Soul Power Level reached level 70
would he be able to completely refine the effects of these three different immortal herbs.
"My goodness, Yao'er! How did you manage this? You stayed in those two poisonous springs and came out completely unharmed?!"
"Even your grandfather wouldn't dare touch those poisonous springs carelessly!" The moment Dugu Xin woke up, he saw this shocking scene!
He knew just how dangerous those springs were.
Dugu Yao walked out of the spring with a smile on his face. "It's all thanks to the two immortal herbs I absorbed."
"They were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Taking them together can forge an Immunity to Water and Fire Body, rendering one immune to all poisons!"
"Now, these poisonous springs are nothing more than the difference between a cold bath and a hot bath to me." As he spoke, Dugu Yao scooped up a handful of spring water.
"The third immortal grade spirit grass I consumed, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, can forge an Indestructible Vajra Body. Immunity to water and fire and indestructibility are an absolutely perfect match!"
Then Dugu Yao asked Dugu Xin, "By the way, Father, what improvements did you gain after absorbing those immortal herbs? Tell me."
At those words, Dugu Xin's face broke into a smile. "Yao'er, see for yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Xin released his Martial Soul. Yet the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul that should have appeared did not.
Instead, a jade-green dragon Martial Soul appeared, complete with dragon horns, whiskers, claws, tail, and scales.
"Just as you said, Yao'er, after absorbing that Poison Dragon Grass, my Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul evolved. It should now be called the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul!"
"However, perhaps because of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, all my poison arts were crippled. But at the same time, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison that had constantly been corroding me has completely disappeared."
Dugu Xin did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Although my poison arts are gone, my Soul Power Level has risen from level 68 to level 70!"
"My poison arts are gone, but I can cultivate them again. Raising my soul power, though—that's a genuine improvement." At this point, Dugu Xin laughed heartily. "Once I absorb a Soul Ring, your father will be a powerful Soul Sage too!"
The poison in his body had vanished, and his poison arts had been completely crippled?
He did not care. Compared to that, Martial Soul Evolution and increased soul power were clearly far more beneficial than harmful!
Dugu Yao stroked his chin and said with a smile, "It makes sense for your poison arts to be wiped out. After all, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red can revive the dead, regrow flesh on bones, and seize the very creation of heaven and earth!"
Looking at Dugu Bo and the other two, who had yet to awaken, Dugu Xin asked worriedly, "But your mother, your sister, and your grandfather still haven't woken up. Are they going to be all right?"
Naturally, Dugu Yao understood his father's concerns, so he answered calmly, "Don't worry, Father. These are the optimal herb combinations I determined through Spirit Sensing."
"There definitely won't be any mistakes. Once Grandpa and the others wake up, their improvements may be even more obvious—they might even surpass yours, Father."
Dugu Xin nodded slightly and began waiting quietly, while Dugu Yao familiarized himself with the enhancements the three immortal herbs had brought to his body.
Just then, Lin Wanqiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened her eyes and breathed out a mouthful of turbid air. The smile on her face was impossible to hide; clearly, the immortal grade spirit grasses she had absorbed had improved her tremendously.
"Wanqiu! Wanqiu, my Wanqiu! How much have you improved?!" Seeing Lin Wanqiu awaken, Dugu Xin hurried over and asked with concern.
Lin Wanqiu slowly rose to her feet and said with a smile, "A Xiao, after taking these three spirit grasses, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison in my body has disappeared. My soul power has also risen from level 65 to level 70."
"Once I absorb a Soul Ring, I'll become a Soul Sage. And it seems that my Martial Soul has changed as well."
As she spoke, she immediately released her Martial Soul. Her black eyes instantly transformed into enchanting jade-green eyes.
"There... doesn't seem to be much of a change!" Dugu Xin said, rubbing his chin.
"A Xiao, don't be impatient. Look again!"
The instant she finished speaking, strange green runes appeared around Lin Wanqiu's jade-green Poisonous Illusion Eye, radiating an enchanting light.
"Hiss—Martial Soul Evolution. Not bad, not bad! And I can sense that if the two of us use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, its effects will become even stronger. These spirit grasses are truly treasures!" Dugu Xin said with feeling.
The two of them already possessed a special Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Lin Wanqiu's Martial Soul, the Poisonous Illusion Eye, could unleash spiritual poison that was impossible to guard against!
Combined with Dugu Xin's Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul, it could form the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Extreme Poison Aurora!
Extreme Poison Aurora was a poison attack on the physical level, and when combined with poison attacks on the spiritual level, it was an exceptionally powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Even if they faced a high-level Soul Sage, if their opponent was the slightest bit careless and got hit, there would be no chance of survival!
With two kinds of poison—spiritual and physical—it was truly a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree attack with no blind spots. Anyone who became their opponent would have to get a taste of poison before leaving.
