Light and Dark Twin Holy Dragons, Ice and Fire Body Tempering-a Perfect Match! Dugu Yan: Who Are You?

Dugu Bo turned to Yin Changqing and asked eagerly:

"Young master, can I take this Jade Dragon Fruit right now?

And how should we go about curing Yan's poison?"

"No need to rush, sir."

Yin Changqing laid out his plan:

"The Jade Dragon Fruit is extremely potent and contains pure dragon energy.

The snake venom runs deep in your body. If you swallow the fruit outright, the clash between those two forces could put you in danger.

I suggest we return to Heaven Dou City first and bring Yan here."

"Here?"

Dugu Bo froze.

"That's right."

Yin Changqing nodded.

"This is where extreme heat and cold converge. It's the perfect place to suppress poison, cleanse the marrow, and temper the body.

First, I'll prepare a medicinal bath with special Immortal Herbs to cleanse Yan's body. Then I'll use a Spirit Bone to draw out the poison embedded within her.

After that, I'll teach you how to purge your poison. Together with the Jade Dragon Fruit, it should let you complete your Martial Soul Transformation and bring the poison under control in one stroke."

Dugu Bo's eyes shone as he stroked his beard.

"Excellent!

I'll go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and bring Yan here myself!"

"Go ahead. I'll stay here with my son while he recovers, and we'll put the remaining Immortal Herbs in order."

Yin Yu spoke calmly.

"Very well!

Brother Yin, young master, I'll be back soon!"

Without another moment's hesitation, Dugu Bo became a streak of green light and shot out of Sunset Forest.

Yin Yu watched him leave, then turned to Yin Changqing. A rare smile touched his stern face.

"Changqing, winning Dugu Bo over went more smoothly than I expected.

Where did you learn all these unusual remedies and methods?"

Yin Changqing smiled. He stored the other Jade Dragon Fruit in his Soul Tool and answered calmly:

"I picked up a little from ancient texts and worked out the rest myself.

Father, nature created this precious place. One day, it will be the heart of the Holy Dragon Sect's strength."

Yin Yu surveyed the spiritual energy drifting around them and nodded.

"It truly is a priceless place.

Once your mother takes the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and breaks through, the Holy Dragon Sect will have three Titled Douluo within a few years.

Then we'll have the strength to stand against even Spirit Hall or the Upper Three Sects."

"This is only the beginning."

Yin Changqing's gaze shifted to the two-colored waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Once we've purged their poison, these Immortal Herbs will give my strength a tremendous boost too."

Yin Yu clasped his hands behind his back and turned his gaze from the spring to Yin Changqing.

"Changqing, can the rare plants in this garden truly change someone's fate as you say?"

"Father, what nature can create is far beyond most people's imagination."

Yin Changqing took out the Immortal Herbs he had collected earlier and pointed to two of them.

"This ice-white plant radiating extreme cold is the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

The fiery red one, with leaves like flowing molten gold, is the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Taken alone, either is deadly poison. Even a Titled Douluo who swallowed one by mistake would soon become an ice sculpture or a pile of ash."

Yin Yu's gaze sharpened.

"If they're that dangerous, what do you intend to do with them?"

"Yin and yang oppose each other, but they can also bring each other into balance."

Yin Changqing smiled faintly and explained:

"If I take both at the same time, their extreme cold and heat will counteract each other. Then, by entering the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and circulating my Soul Power, I can undergo a complete transformation: the Ice and Fire Golden Body.

It will make my body extraordinarily resilient and resistant to both water and fire. It will also expand my Meridians to their limits and greatly improve my Martial Souls' resistance to extreme elements."

Yin Yu's brows drew together. His voice grew grave.

"Taking something of extreme yin and something of extreme yang at once... One mistake and your body could burst apart. You mean to take them yourself?"

"My first Martial Soul is the Light Sacred Dragon, the embodiment of forceful yang.

My second is the Dark Sacred Dragon, the embodiment of sinister yin."

Yin Changqing analyzed the matter with steady calm:

"I possess both light and darkness in their most extreme forms. My body has also been strengthened by Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and several powerful offensive Spirit Skills.

Across the entire Douluo Continent, no one is better suited to this method of Ice and Fire Body Tempering than I am.

Only by using these two supreme Immortal Herbs to temper my Meridians can I withstand Spirit Rings of a greater age."

Yin Yu fell silent for a long while. Seeing the certainty in his son's eyes, he finally relaxed his brow and patted his shoulder.

"Good!

If you're completely confident, I'll guard you while you do it.

But first, let's sort out the other Immortal Herbs. We mustn't let anything in this precious place go to waste."

"Just what I had in mind."

Yin Changqing took several specially made jade boxes, a gold knife, and a white jade trowel from his Storage Soul Tool. Pointing out several exceptional herbs around the garden, he explained them to Yin Yu one by one:

"Father, look there. That luminous white herb, shaped like a snow lotus, is the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss.

It can amplify any poison a thousandfold. We can leave it near the poison formation as a deadly last resort."

"That purple orchid is the Aromatic Silk Beauty. It wards off all poisons and counters even the deadliest toxins. It's the key ingredient we'll need to purge Yan's snake venom."

"As for the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, which looks carved from flawless jade, and the radiant golden Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum..."

As Yin Changqing harvested the herbs with precision, he continued planning:

"The Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone nourishes the sinews and body. We can save it for one of the sect's core members.

The Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum channels energy through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians. It can help forge a body as strong as diamond.

Once we return to the sect, both Grandfather and Mother can use them to advance further."

Yin Yu listened as Yin Changqing described each herb with effortless familiarity, his amazement growing by the moment.

As a level ninety-five Super Douluo, he had seen more than most.

Yet when it came to the wonders of medicinal plants, his twelve-year-old son spoke like a master who had spent a lifetime studying them.

"Changqing, with these resources, it's only a matter of time before the Holy Dragon Sect reshapes the order of the Upper Three Sects and stands on equal footing with Spirit Hall."

Yin Yu's voice was full of admiration.

"Spirit Hall is powerful, the Upper Three Sects each have their own ambitions, and the two empires are less peaceful than they appear."

Yin Changqing sealed the final jade box and returned it to his Storage Soul Tool.

"We need more than strength of our own. We need to make sure Dugu Bo—the deadliest weapon against massed enemies in the world—is firmly on our side.

With him, the sect will have a force that can deter any army."

Before he finished speaking, the green poisonous haze above the valley began to churn.

Two figures broke through the mist, swept down from the cliff, and landed steadily beside the spring.

They were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, whom he had brought back with him.

Dugu Yan wore a close-fitting outfit, and her purple hair fell like a waterfall.

She surveyed the strange waters of ice and fire around her, then fixed her gaze on Yin Changqing and Yin Yu.

"Grandpa, why did you drag me out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy in such a hurry? You wouldn't even let me finish Teacher Qin's class."

Dugu Yan frowned, irritation edging her voice.

"And who are these two?

Why did you bring outsiders into your private herb garden?"
