Wildfires Never Burn Out, Spring Winds Bring New Growth!

Dugu Yan lowered her head and looked at her clothes.

"Is this really necessary?"

"Outer clothing will interfere with the vines entering your meridians."

Dugu Bo glanced at her.

"Yan Yan, listen to him."

Dugu Yan did not answer.

She had lived in the valley with Dugu Bo for many years, so she naturally understood the dangers of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison.

She had also seen her grandfather's transformation very clearly just now.

A moment later, Dugu Yan took out a loose outer robe and covered herself from her shoulders to below her knees.

She turned her back, removed her outer uniform, and left only her close-fitting clothes on.

The entire process was swift.

Tang Feng turned away.

He did not turn back until Dugu Yan had put on her outer robe again.

"It's ready."

Dugu Yan walked over and sat on a flat rock beside the spring.

She kept her legs together and placed her hands before her knees.

Her long emerald hair draped down from her shoulders, its tips lightly brushing the edge of her robe.

Dugu Bo stood nearby.

"Don't hurt her."

"I know."

The Ruination Blue Silver Emperor appeared once more.

Dark blue vines split from Tang Feng's palm, winding around Dugu Yan's wrists, shoulders, and ankles in turn.

More slender vines then extended along the edges of her robe.

They did not tear at her clothes. They merely pressed against her skin, securing the key points where Soul Power circulated one by one.

Dugu Yan's body visibly tensed.

She looked at the vines around her wrists and raised her eyes.

"Control it better."

"I've already slowed down."

"You weren't this slow with Grandpa."

"His meridians are tougher than yours."

Dugu Yan pressed her lips together.

She said nothing else.

Tang Feng closed his eyes.

His spiritual power entered Dugu Yan's body through the Destruction Vines.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison had already penetrated deep into all her meridians.

Though there was far less of it than in Dugu Bo's body, it was more widely scattered.

If he drew it out incorrectly, the poison would rush into her heart meridians.

Tang Feng first sealed the meridians in her limbs.

Then, starting from her wrists and ankles, he gradually gathered the poison toward her shoulders and back.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor pressed against Dugu Yan's back.

Blue-gold life force continuously repaired her damaged meridians.

Dugu Yan's fingers slowly clenched.

As the poison was drawn from her meridians, pain spread upward along her arms.

She made no sound, but beads of sweat gradually formed across her forehead.

Tang Feng sensed fluctuations in her Soul Power.

"Relax."

"I'm already very relaxed."

"Your Soul Power is in disarray."

Dugu Yan took a deep breath and forcibly steadied the Soul Power within her body.

Dark purple light advanced along the vines.

Strands of emerald poison were pulled from her meridians, entering the Ruination Blue Silver Emperor and swiftly dissipating.

Tang Feng's Soul Power was continuously depleted.

[Vampiric Habit activated!]

The power carried within the poison flowed back into his body through the vines.

His Soul Power was replenished.

[Jeweled Gauntlet activated!]

[Poison stripping, tenfold effect!]

The poison within Dugu Yan's body suddenly began flowing faster.

Her shoulders jerked back.

Tang Feng immediately steadied her wrist.

"Don't move."

"This time, I'm not trying to move."

"Endure it."

"I know."

Dugu Yan closed her eyes.

She felt a gentle life force blanket her meridians, gradually suppressing the searing pain.

The Ruination Blue Silver Emperor continuously extracted the poison.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor continuously repaired her injuries.

The two Martial Souls operated simultaneously along different paths.

An hour later.

The last wisp of leaking serpent poison in Dugu Yan's body had been removed.

Tang Feng did not immediately withdraw his Martial Soul.

He controlled the Destruction Vines and redirected the remaining poison back into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

That power gathered along her meridians into her Martial Soul system before finally sinking into the phantom Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul reappeared behind Dugu Yan.

The emerald serpent phantom coiled behind her. Poison mist swirled only around the Martial Soul and no longer invaded her flesh and blood.

Tang Feng released his fingers.

The vines gradually withdrew.

"From now on, when you control your Soul Power, don't let the poison enter your main meridians."

"You've guided all of it back into the Martial Soul?"

"It's only temporarily stable."

Tang Feng withdrew the Life Blue Silver Emperor.

"You need to learn how to control it."

Dugu Yan lowered her head and circulated her Soul Power.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul slowly moved behind her.

This time, circulating her Soul Power brought no stabbing pain.

She opened her eyes, and the tension on her face finally vanished.

Dugu Bo walked to her side.

He raised a hand to inspect Dugu Yan's meridians, then used Soul Power to examine her Martial Soul.

Only after a long while did he withdraw his hand.

"The poison is no longer continuing to invade."

"As long as you control it properly, it truly won't harm you anymore."

Dugu Yan nodded gently.

She straightened her outer robe and stepped down from the rock.

Dugu Bo looked at Tang Feng.

"From today onward, you may enter this medicinal garden whenever you wish."

Tang Feng did not answer immediately.

His gaze passed over the spring and turned toward the depths of the valley.

A great many precious spiritual herbs grew there.

Each one emitted a unique aura within his Life Perception.

Tang Feng raised his right hand.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor unfurled.

Blue-gold blades of grass stretched forward along the ground, examining the condition of each herb one by one.

He did not harvest them directly.

He first needed to confirm the medicinal properties, root systems, and growing environments of the spiritual herbs.

A moment later, Tang Feng arrived before a fiery red spiritual herb.

Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Its crimson leaves contained dense fire energy, yet its roots remained at a subtle distance from the spring.

Not far away.

A snow-white spiritual herb grew where frigid air converged.

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Tang Feng continued onward.

Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Many precious immortal herbs entered his perception one after another.

Dugu Bo stood behind him, watching Tang Feng walk through the herb garden.

Whenever Tang Feng stopped, he first observed the roots before judging the herb's medicinal properties.

He did not touch spiritual herbs unsuitable for himself.

Nor did he damage the surrounding growing environment.

At last, Tang Feng returned to the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The auras of extreme cold and extreme heat continuously battered his body.

An ordinary Spirit Master could not approach at all.

Dugu Yan stood by the shore, her gaze fixed on his back.

"What are you going to do?"

"Temper my body."

Tang Feng reached out and plucked the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

With his other hand, he simultaneously picked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

He swallowed both immortal herbs at once.

Boom!

The powers of ice and fire erupted within his body at the same time.

Frigid energy spread through the meridians on his left side.

Fire energy rapidly spread from his right.

The two powers collided, tearing at his muscles, bones, and flesh simultaneously.

Tang Feng did not stop.

He leaped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Scarlet and milky-white spring water instantly swallowed him whole.

The soul bone in his right leg lit up with blue-gold radiance.

[Wildfires Never Burn Out, Spring Winds Bring New Growth!]

His powerful life-restoration ability fully activated.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor grew from within his body on its own. Blue-gold blades of grass covered him, continuously absorbing the life energy in the valley.

[Vampiric Habit activated!]

The spring water could not be absorbed directly.

Tang Feng relied on his life-restoration ability to continuously repair the tissues damaged by the powers of ice and fire.

Destruction and restoration formed a cycle.

Each time his body was damaged, it became tougher after recovering.

The powers of ice and fire continued tempering his muscles and bones.

Several hours passed.

There was still no movement in the center of the spring.

Dugu Bo stood by the shore, his expression gradually turning grave.

Dugu Yan did not leave either.

She watched the faint ripples spreading across the spring's surface, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the edge of her robe.
