Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Ice-Fire Body Tempering

Top-grade earth-attribute Immortal Herb—Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

It could strengthen control over the earth element and promote the Martial Soul Evolution of Dragonkind Martial Souls.

Consuming it could raise one's Soul Power Level, make up for flaws in one's foundation, promote the evolution of snake-type and sub-dragon Martial Souls, enhance one's bloodline, assist with fusing earth-attribute Soul Bones, and more.

At the edge of a corner, the soil here was golden-brown.

On a green vine half a man tall, two large and one small golden sweet potatoes hung from the branches.

Each was as large as two fists and radiated a heavy, steady aura of earth, along with the pressure of Dragonkind.

Xu Yuan plucked two mature Earth Dragon Golden Melons. Seeing Dugu Bo approach, he casually tossed them to him.

"What are these...?"

Dugu Bo caught the two sweet potatoes, somewhat puzzled.

"Immortal Earth Dragon Golden Melons. They can help snake-type and sub-dragon Martial Souls evolve. They're very suitable for you and your granddaughter."

"There's a certain chance they'll evolve into Dragonkind Martial Souls. Even if they don't, they can still completely resolve the toxins in your Martial Souls."

Seeing Dugu Bo's confused expression, Xu Yuan explained it to him directly.

"Oh, and don't think about giving both to one person. Repeated consumption will only increase Soul Power by a little more due to resistance."

Xu Yuan saw that Dugu Bo did not use them immediately, instead putting them into his Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.

So he casually added a reminder.

Having his thoughts seen through by a teenager, Dugu Bo was not annoyed. Instead, he laughed heartily.

"What sharp eyes. Yanyan is my own granddaughter. As her grandfather, I naturally want to help my family see her become outstanding."

"You're quite impressive too, Xu Yuan. If you don't mind, how about I marry my Yanyan to you?"

Dugu Bo glanced at Jingliu in the distance. In his excellent mood, he spoke half-jokingly.

With Dugu Bo's perception, he could naturally see Xu Yuan's terrifying potential.

Thirteen years old, with Soul Power Level 27.

Yet not a single Soul Ring had been attached to him. What did that mean... There was only one answer.

He had Innate Full Soul Power at level 27!!!

Consuming Immortal Herbs could raise Soul Power as well. In just a few days, Xu Yuan would likely advance to a three-ring Battle Soul Elder.

He was absolutely destined to become a Titled... no, a Peerless Douluo!

With such heaven-defying talent, if he were not so closely connected to that female Peerless Douluo, Dugu Bo would have wanted to take him as a disciple...

But...

Settling for the next best thing, wouldn't turning Xu Yuan into his granddaughter's husband make them family too?

"Senior Dugu, it's still too early to speak of such things. Right now, I only want to cultivate and grow stronger."

Xu Yuan did not embarrass him, instead changing the subject.

That response only made Dugu Bo more satisfied.

"Very good. Neither arrogant nor impetuous—you'll go farther."

"Senior Dugu, to prove that I wasn't lying, you can try one Earth Dragon Golden Melon first and see its effects."

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Dugu Bo nodded.

Then, Dugu Bo took out an Earth Dragon Golden Melon, swallowed it in two bites, and sat cross-legged to begin cultivating.

After settling Dugu Bo, Xu Yuan quickly picked another Immortal Herb.

It was an enormous purple chrysanthemum. Its petals were fluffy, while the tips of the central stamens glimmered with a faint golden light.

A neutral top-grade medicinal herb—Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Once consumed, its energy would flow through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, allowing one to forge an indestructible body.

He would first forge a golden body, then consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, maximizing the benefits at once!

Using three top-grade Immortal Herbs to strengthen and temper his body, Xu Yuan's first Soul Ring age limit...

He could try starting with a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast.

With that thought, Xu Yuan carried the Immortal Herb over to Jingliu and smiled.

"Big Sister, I want to refine this medicinal herb. Could I ask you to stand guard for me?"

"Yes."

Jingliu nodded and agreed to his request.

Xu Yuan did not delay. He first consumed the flower's central stamens, then ate the petals one by one.

As for the roots and stem, he planted them in the medicinal field.

Afterward, Xu Yuan immediately began cultivating where he stood, refining the medicinal power to break through his bottleneck.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the early hours of the morning.

A faint metallic sheen flowed across Xu Yuan's skin. His limbs became stronger and more powerful, while cracking sounds continuously rang out from his bones.

His sinews and bones resonated together, like the thunderous roar of tigers and leopards!

The next second, Xu Yuan opened his eyes.

Surging Soul Power remained contained within one meter around his body. His figure stood tall and straight, like a long sword drawn from its sheath!

He glanced at the panel. His level had risen once more.

[Soul Power Level: 32]

"My Soul Power increased by five levels. More of the Immortal Herb's energy was used to strengthen my body and improve the toughness of my meridians."

Xu Yuan's face was filled with delight. With the Immortal Herb's power, he had opened quite a few meridians.

The energy within his body had also become more vigorous, fierce, and domineering.

It was like a piece of high-quality true gold. After another all-around tempering, it could be forged into an unparalleled divine weapon!!

"Little brother, you're awake. How do you feel?"

Jingliu leaned against the Tanhua Sword and studied him.

"Thank you for standing guard for me, Big Sister. Next, I want to consume those two Immortal Herbs, then enter the pool and—"

"Temper my body with ice and fire."

Xu Yuan pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as he spoke.

Jingliu followed his gaze and saw the two Immortal Herbs of extreme cold and extreme heat. With a trace of concern, she asked,

"Little brother, are you sure?"

"Yes. Only by laying a solid foundation can I build up strength for a great breakthrough later."

Xu Yuan nodded in confirmation, his expression extremely resolute.

Next, Xu Yuan took a jade ruler and an iron dagger from Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

Then, Xu Yuan began harvesting the two Immortal Herbs.

First was the central point on the side of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring.

There was a large white flower shaped like an octagon. It gave off no fragrance, and its central stamens sparkled like ice crystals.

An Immortal Herb of extreme cold—Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!

Xu Yuan swung the dagger and cut down the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Then, Xu Yuan went to the edge of the Blazing Yang Spring.

There was also a plant shaped like a cabbage, its main body seemingly carved from ruby and burning red all over.

An Immortal Herb of extreme fire—Infernal Delicate Apricot!

Holding the jade ruler, Xu Yuan harvested the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Under Jingliu's concerned gaze, Xu Yuan first removed the origin seeds of both Immortal Herbs and planted them in the medicinal field.

Once these two Immortal Herbs grew and evolved into plant-type Soul Beasts, they could continuously produce resources.

Frost Dew, Blazing Gel.

Leave room in all things, lest heavenly treasures vanish from the world.

Given the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's unique nature, these two Immortal Herbs could grow again as long as there was enough time.

Then...

He removed Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, grasped the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass in his left hand and the Infernal Delicate Apricot tightly in his right.

Ice on the left, fire on the right—Lord Thunder, aid me!

Holding the two Immortal Herbs, Xu Yuan jumped into the pool of mingling cold and heat with a splash.

Immediately afterward, Xu Yuan's clothes shattered. His entire body turned blue, followed by a layer of red.

Blue and red alternated, forming a strange balance of perfect harmony.

"Bzzzz—!!"

Ice and fire clashed. Waves of immense herbal energy gathered into rings, continuously washing Xu Yuan with ice and fire.

During this process, the energies of ice and fire churned madly, while the terrifying medicinal power tempered Xu Yuan's body.

Every inch of his skin, muscles, bones, meridians, and blood was tempered and cleansed, continuously growing stronger.

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the spring water slowly surged, milky white and crimson clearly divided.
