Chapter 33: Immortal Herbs-Choose Two of Four?! [Ultimate Icefire Golden Body] [Heaven-Piercing Vajra Dao Bones]!
Yin Yu had barely finished speaking and was about to raise a hand to protect him.
But deep in Yin Changqing's mind, a mechanical prompt suddenly rang out.
**Ding!** The host is in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a top-tier blessed land, surrounded by numerous top-grade Immortal Herbs. Special system mechanism triggered: [Immortal Herb Fusion: Pick Two of Four]! The system has calculated the optimal fusion options based on the host's current physique and twin dragon Martial Souls. Choose any two of the following four Immortal Herb body-tempering combinations to absorb and fuse!
A translucent pale-gold screen appeared before Yin Changqing. Four options radiating brilliant light came into view:
[Option One: Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass + Infernal Delicate Apricot] Physique gained: [Ultimate Ice and Fire Golden Body] Basic physique traits: 1. Gain 100% immunity to ice- and fire-attribute attacks and negative effects. 2. Gain 100% Immunity to All Poisons. 3. Permanently increase bodily vitality and the resilience of the Meridians by 100%. Exclusive skills: 1. [Ice Dragon Soul Fiend]: Active skill. Channel ultimate ice dragon energy into a freezing fiend that tears through enemies. Targets struck suffer "Absolute Zero," reducing their movement speed and Soul Power circulation speed by 50%. Also strips away 40% of the target's defense for 5 seconds. 2. [Heaven-Burning Dragon Flame Explosion]: Active skill. Condense ultimate fire dragon energy into violent dragon flames and bombard a target area, dealing area-of-effect true damage of the ultimate fire attribute. All enemies in range receive a "Soul-Burning Mark," which burns away 5% of their current Soul Power and health each second. Suppresses all shields and healing effects for 6 seconds. --- [Option Two: Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum + Aromatic Silk Beauty] Physique gained: [Heaven-Connecting Vajra Dao Bones] Basic physique traits: 1. All tendons and bones become vajra-hard, permanently increasing physical and energy defense by an additional 80%. 2. Greatly increases the Martial Soul's affinity for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, permanently increasing natural Soul Power cultivation and recovery speed by 100%. 3. Greatly expands the capacity of the Meridians, increasing the user's maximum Soul Power by 50%. Exclusive skills: 1. [Heaven-Connecting Vajra Seal]: Passive/active skill. Passively reflects 40% of any physical or energy damage received back at the attacker. When activated, forms a golden seal that suppresses an opponent, bypassing all defensive barriers and invulnerability shields of targets at the same level or below. 2. [Myriad Treasures Spirit-Gathering Art]: Active support/burst skill. Instantly dispels all debuffs and mental control affecting the user and allies within a 30-meter radius. For the next 10 seconds, increases all attributes of the user and those allies by an additional 40%. --- [Option Three: Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew + Aromatic Silk Beauty] Physique gained: [Illusion-Breaking Immortal Spirit Body] Basic physique traits: 1. Mental power undergoes a transformation beyond its current level, and the eyes evolve into [Illusion-Breaking Divine Eyes], granting permanent immunity to all mental illusions and visual deceptions. 2. Vitality flows without end, slowing physical aging by 80% and increasing wound-healing speed by 150%. 3. A natural poison-warding aura disperses all poisonous mist and miasma within 50 meters before it can approach. Exclusive skills: 1. [Illusion-Breaking True Dragon Gaze]: Active targeting skill. The eyes emit golden rays that unfailingly expose a target's Martial Soul weaknesses, Soul Power circulation paths, and hidden form. Reduces the target's dodge and critical-hit rates by 50% each, and inflicts a mental thrust that causes intense pain directly to the soul. 2. [Immortal Tribulation-Warding Domain]: Active defensive skill. Creates a 50-meter-wide longevity barrier centered on the user. Those within are immune to all curses and poisons. When the user takes fatal damage, holds their health above zero for 3 seconds and instantly restores 30% of their maximum health and Soul Power. Cooldown: 24 hours. --- [Option Four: Earth Dragon Golden Melon + Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone] Physique gained: [Nine-Transformation Jade Dragon True Body] Basic physique traits: 1. All muscles and skin become crystalline jade, while the purity of the Dragonkind bloodline undergoes a second ancestral leap. 2. Permanently increases raw physical strength and explosive power by an additional 100%. 3. Bones and muscles gain the "Jade Force-Dispersion" trait, reducing all single-target attack damage received by a fixed 35%. Exclusive skills: 1. [Nine-Transformation Earth-Splitting Crash]: Active crowd-control/burst skill. Draw on the earth dragon's power and stomp the ground, sending a powerful seismic shock through enemies within a 100-meter radius. Inflicts 2 seconds of "Absolute Stun" and a crushing true-damage strike equal to 120% of the user's strength. 2. [Jade Dragon Armor of Ice-Jade Skin]: Active defensive skill. Awaken the jade dragon essence within to form a crystalline layer of Dragon Aura armor over the body. While it lasts, negates 50% of armor-piercing effects. Before it shatters, the armor converts 30% of damage received into a Soul Power shield that sustains the user. ---
Yin Changqing stared at the detailed descriptions of the four options, his heart surging with excitement.
An ordinary soul master would be blessed beyond belief to obtain even one of those Immortal Herbs. It would be enough to change their fate.
Yet he could consume several at once. With the system's fusion mechanism, he could avoid the risk of their medicinal properties clashing.
He could forge two top-tier physiques and gain four exclusive skills in one stroke!
The ultimate powers of ice and fire in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are the strongest external forces for tempering the body.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot are naturally paired Immortal Herbs. If I don't absorb them, I'll waste the very heart of this blessed land!
Yin Changqing's thoughts raced as he weighed his options:
Option One, the Ultimate Ice and Fire Golden Body, is a must!
It grants complete immunity to both ice and fire. Ice Dragon Soul Fiend and Heaven-Burning Dragon Flame Explosion also offer exceptional crowd control and bursts of true damage.
They're exactly the long-range attacks I'm missing while my fighting style leans toward close combat!
As for the second choice...
Yin Changqing's gaze moved across the remaining three options.
"These two options are enough to defy the heavens."
Yin Changqing's expression grew intent as he weighed the choices on the screen.
The Ultimate Ice and Fire Golden Body in Option One drew on the source power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It offered complete immunity to ice, fire, and all poisons. That foundation was indispensable.
Among the remaining choices, Option Two's Heaven-Connecting Vajra Dao Bones combined the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum's vajra-hard vitality with the Aromatic Silk Beauty's affinity for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
It would permanently raise his defense by 80%, double his cultivation and recovery speed, and increase his maximum Soul Power by a staggering 50%.
System, I choose Option One and Option Two!
Yin Changqing made his decision.
**Ding!** Selection confirmed! The host has locked in Combination One [Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass + Infernal Delicate Apricot] and Combination Two [Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum + Aromatic Silk Beauty]. The system will provide absolute protection during fusion, preventing backlash from conflicting medicinal properties!
