Forging an Ice and Fire Golden Body with Ease-Level 47? Dugu Bo Was Stunned

The moment the system notification sounded, Yin Changqing opened his eyes and looked at the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot in the jade boxes.

"Changqing, are you really going to risk taking them with your bare body?"

Concern showed on Yin Yu's face as he warned him gravely:

"One of those Immortal Herbs radiates bone-chilling cold, while the other burns with raging flames.

Even a Titled Douluo like me feels his blood surge just touching them. Don't be careless."

Dugu Bo hurried forward too, his expression grave.

"Young master, I've lived here in seclusion for decades. I know how terrifying these two 'poisonous herbs' are.

That one in particular could burn you to ash if you so much as got close.

Without special tools and methods, you couldn't even pick it, let alone swallow it!"

"Rest assured, Elder Dugu. Things of absolute yin and yang may seem deadly, but they also counterbalance each other."

Yin Changqing smiled calmly.

"Taking either one alone would be fatal. But if I swallow them both within ten breaths, their opposing properties will neutralize each other.

Then, with the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well cleansing my body, I can become impervious to both ice and fire."

Dugu Bo drew a sharp breath and exclaimed:

"Fighting poison with poison, balancing yin against yang!

Your understanding of medicinal properties is far beyond mine, young master!"

"Father, Elder Dugu, just keep watch for me a moment."

Before Yin Changqing had finished speaking, he became a streak of light.

With a slight movement of his fingers, he wrapped the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot in Soul Power and uprooted them both.

Brilliant rays of extreme cold and heat met in midair, giving off a destructive pulse.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yin Changqing drew them into his mouth and swallowed both top-grade Immortal Herbs at once.

Then he leaped lightly into the very center of the waters where cold and heat converged!

"Young master!"

Dugu Yan cried out, clutching the corners of her clothes.

"Hiss... He swallowed medicinal power that violent just like that?!"

Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched wildly. He quietly raised his Soul Power to its peak, ready to intervene at any moment.

Yin Yu looked composed, but tension flashed through his eyes.

Yet the expected agony and explosion never came.

Protected by the system's fusion, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's extreme cold and the Infernal Delicate Apricot's fiery poison were harmonized the instant they entered Yin Changqing's throat.

A mysterious force turned them into two warm yet overwhelming currents, one red and one blue, that surged through his extraordinary meridians.

Dazzling light enveloped Yin Changqing. His left side shone translucent blue like Profound Ice from the depths of the underworld, while his right blazed crimson like divine flames from the sun.

Boom—

A muffled roar erupted from within Yin Changqing.

Under the tempering of those two extreme forces, his meridians, bones, muscles, and skin rapidly transformed. Every inch of his flesh gleamed with golden, glasslike light.

His Soul Power, previously stuck at level 43, surged like a river breaking through a dam!

Level 44!

Level 45!

Level 46!

Level 47!

In less than half an incense stick's time, the red and blue light around Yin Changqing abruptly withdrew into his body.

His skin glowed like jade, and he radiated faint Dragon Might and golden light. The twin springs of ice and fire could no longer affect him in the slightest.

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, achieving the Ultimate Ice and Fire Golden Body!

Yin Changqing floated out of the spring and landed, his robes untouched by water and his eyes bright.

At the pool's edge, Yin Yu, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan stood frozen, their eyes nearly bulging out of their heads.

"He's... finished refining them already?!"

Dugu Bo rubbed his eyes hard, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Those were poisonous herbs even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare touch!

I've guarded this place for decades, and even looking at them too long makes my heart pound.

Young master, you... you absorbed them in half an incense stick's time as easily as drinking a mouthful of warm water?!"

Dugu Yan stared at Yin Changqing, her beautiful eyes wide.

"Good heavens... The young master's Soul Power jumped straight from level 43 to level 47?!

Four levels in a row?!"

Yin Yu stepped up to Yin Changqing and laid a broad hand on his son's shoulder. After carefully examining him, he burst into thunderous laughter.

"Hahahaha!

Good!

That's my boy!

Your vitality is as potent as a dragon's. Not only are your meridians unharmed, they're several times tougher!

Now that you've forged your Ice-Fire Golden Body, won't every Ice Element and fire-element Soul Master in the world be like a tiger without teeth? They won't even be able to break through your defenses!"

"You're right, Father."

Yin Changqing smiled and spread his hands. A wisp of piercingly cold blue dragon fiend gathered at the fingertips of his left hand, while violent crimson-gold dragon flames rose from his right.

"Even the innate ice and fire of a Titled Douluo can't harm me now.

And I'm immune to all poisons. The deadliest toxins in the world are nothing but nourishment to me."

Dugu Bo gave a rueful smile and sighed from the heart.

"I call myself Poison Douluo and have spent my life mastering poisons, yet before you, young master, every trick I have is useless.

Your fortune and insight are simply divine!"

"You flatter me, Elder Dugu."

Yin Changqing dispersed the icy and fiery dragon breath in his hands. Rather than rest, he turned his gaze to a nearby patch of flowers.

"But that was only an appetizer.

Since I'm here today, I might as well temper this body to its limit."

Yin Yu paused.

"Changqing, you're going to continue?!"

Dugu Bo was even more startled and hastily tried to stop him.

"Young master, you mustn't!

These herbs contain immense power. You've just taken two extreme Immortal Herbs, gained four Soul Power levels, and filled your meridians to capacity.

If you force yourself to swallow more Immortal Herbs so soon, even a body as strong as yours could suffer ruptured meridians!"

Dugu Yan stepped forward too, her eyes full of worry.

"Young master, Grandpa's right. Haste makes waste. If you damage your foundation, it won't be worth it."

"It's all right. I know what I'm doing."

Yin Changqing smiled with confidence.

"My Light Sacred Dragon and Dark Sacred Dragon are God-level Martial Souls, with reserves far beyond those of ordinary people.

The ice and fire merely widened the channels of my meridians. Now is the time to forge them with Divine Bone Vajra."

With that, Yin Changqing took out the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"The Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum circulates energy through the limbs and blood through all eight meridians. Eating it can forge an indestructible body."

"The Aromatic Silk Beauty absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and gathers the radiance of the sun and moon. It can elevate a Martial Soul's spiritual energy to its peak and expand one's vast reserves of Soul Power."
