A soak in the Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot (please recommend and bookmark)

Sunset Forest!

Having left Spirit City, Lin Feng was now strolling through Sunset Forest.

He had come to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Through the Marriage System's divorce ruling, he had taken all of Bibi Dong's soul power in the division of assets. He was now a genuine level 92 Titled Douluo.

With Qian Xunji's "help," he had also removed his original five soul rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black.

If he was going to absorb new soul rings, ordinary ones certainly wouldn't do. Before absorbing them, he wanted to use immortal herbs to strengthen his physique further!

Climbing to a mountaintop, he closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings for a moment. The unusually active ice and fire energy in the air told him unmistakably that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was close.

"Peacock Possession!"

A pair of multicolored wings spread from his back. Lin Feng opened his blazing eyes and leaped into the air, flying into the valley.

The deeper he went, the more the dense ice and fire energy battered his face.

It made his soul power stir restlessly!

Fortunately, his soul power was immense. Otherwise, this dense ice and fire energy would surely have thrown it into chaos, perhaps even making his body explode.

Only when he landed at the bottom did he get a clear view of the entire valley.

At its center lay an enormous lake of two colors. One half was red, radiating scorching heat, while the other was white, giving off an icy chill.

The two halves met yet remained distinctly separate. Heat and cold collided, sending thick white mist billowing upward. Through the drifting haze, everything in sight looked like an immortal paradise.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth lifted, delight spreading across his face.

He looked around. Vegetation flourished around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with vivid flowers and lush greenery everywhere. All kinds of rare flowers and exotic herbs seldom seen in the outside world grew here in clusters.

It was like a paradise on earth, with more wonders than his eyes could take in.

Lin Feng cautiously flew a circuit of the area. Apart from the rare flowers and exotic herbs, he found no trace of other people.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Looks like Dugu Bo hasn't found this place yet. Given his age, he should only be a Soul Saint right now. He might pose some threat to me, but as long as he can't fly, he can't truly threaten my life."

Once he was certain there was no danger, he could relax!

Only then did Lin Feng land.

Back when he was at Spirit Hall, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had yet to formally accept its recruitment offer and join.

So Lin Feng had never had the chance to obtain records about immortal herbs from Yue Guan.

He had once regretted that, but now it seemed like a blessing.

If he had brought Yue Guan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and offered its immortal herbs to Spirit Hall, that would have been a complete waste.

To think he had once considered giving Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji, and Qian Daoliu an immortal herb each to help them grow stronger.

Pah!

What a bunch of scum!

Lin Feng was profoundly grateful he had never offered this treasure trove to Spirit Hall.

"There are plenty of immortal herbs and poisonous plants here. The only ones I recognize are those Tang San introduced in the original story."

"Octagonal mysterious ice grass, infernal delicate apricot, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, eight-petal immortal orchid, aromatic silk beauty, singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, narcissus jade muscle bone..."

"What I need now isn't more soul power, but a stronger physique. Octagonal mysterious ice grass and infernal delicate apricot are perfect for me. I'll add the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen my spiritual power."

After searching for a while, Lin Feng found the octagonal mysterious ice grass and infernal delicate apricot beside their respective ice and fire springs.

Recalling the method for picking the two immortal herbs, he coated his hands with powerful soul power and swiftly plucked them.

Even so, the potent toxicity of the Icefire Immortal Herb took its toll. One scorched his palm black, charring the flesh, while the other froze his hand with frost, covering his palm in ice.

Lin Feng drew a deep breath, his gaze turning resolute.

"With my level 92 soul power as a foundation, and the Icefire Immortal Herb strengthening my meridians, tendons, and bones, absorbing soul rings over fifty thousand years old will be a sure thing."

"And for my last few soul rings, I want hundred-thousand-year rings, every single one."

Having made his decision, Lin Feng brought the two immortal herbs together, letting their ice and fire properties neutralize each other. This was his only chance to consume the Icefire Immortal Herb.

Now!

A sharp gleam flashed through Lin Feng's eyes. He grabbed the two immortal herbs and devoured them in great mouthfuls. They melted on his tongue, turning into two currents of ice and fire energy that swept through his body.

His skin alternated between red and white.

As the extreme heat and cold clashed, Lin Feng's meridians, tendons, bones, and internal organs were ravaged in turn.

The pain made him bare his teeth and grimace.

He quickly stripped off his clothes and trousers, then jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with a splash.

He used the well's Ice and Fire Energy to speed up his absorption of the Icefire Immortal Herb's medicinal power.

Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!

Ordinary people and soul beasts that fell into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would soon perish under the corrosive effects of its Ice and Fire Energy.

But now, the energy of the Icefire Immortal Herb seeped out of Lin Feng's body, enveloping him in what looked like a cocoon of light.

The cocoon brightened and dimmed in a steady rhythm, like a beating heart.

Within it, Lin Feng began a long transformation.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay silent as time slipped by, second after second.

One day later!

With a splash, Lin Feng burst out of the water. His tall, well-built body leaped clear of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and landed on the bank.

Lin Feng looked down at himself. His frame was well-proportioned, his muscles powerful without being excessively bulky. With a broad back, narrow waist, and long, lean legs, he looked like a sculpture, embodying the beauty of the golden ratio.

He flexed his arms, and the strength within his flesh surged like a tidal wave. He was convinced that he could now kill a ten-thousand-year soul beast with his physical strength alone.

"That feels incredible! Incredible!"

"Now I'll have absolutely no trouble absorbing soul rings over fifty thousand years old!"

Lin Feng quickly dressed and walked around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, finding another immortal herb: the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

He picked the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, tipped his head back, and let the dewdrops on its small white flower fall into his mouth. Then he began circulating his soul power to refine them.

In an instant, a cool, refreshing sensation rose within him, rushing up his spine into his brain and invigorating his mind. Waves surged through his Sea of Consciousness, and his spiritual power began growing continuously, as though he had taken an immensely nourishing tonic.

His cerebral cortex tingled. Perhaps because a full vessel must overflow, wisps of spiritual power actually left his body and spread outward in every direction.

He could perceive every blade of grass and every tree around him with perfect clarity, even the free-floating ice and fire energy in the air.

Through his spiritual perception, Lin Feng saw a world invisible to the naked eye.

His spiritual power grew rapidly. As he absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, it even surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

His soul power, body, and soul had all reached the standards required to absorb high-age soul rings.

Now Lin Feng lacked nothing.
