Chen Xuanqing's gaze was resolute as he tightly gripped the two deadly poisonous Immortal Herbs.
He drew a deep breath, then abruptly opened his mouth and stuffed both Immortal Herbs inside at once.
Although the two immortal treasures were extremely poisonous, they became docile once restrained by their respective nemeses. They melted in his mouth, turning into sweet, refreshing liquid that flowed down his throat.
Chen Xuanqing felt saliva well beneath his tongue as a delicate fragrance spread, as though he had tasted the sweetest spring water in the world.
That tastes really good. It's actually as sweet as flat soda, Chen Xuanqing marveled inwardly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Immediately afterward, two currents of energy, one red and one blue, began surging alternately through Chen Xuanqing's body, like two great dragons locked in combat.
Chen Xuanqing felt pain he had not experienced in a long time, but he clenched his teeth and forcibly endured the intense discomfort.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay just ahead. Chen Xuanqing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and leaped without hesitation toward the place where the Extreme Cold Yin Spring met the scorching Yang Spring.
With a splash, Chen Xuanqing's entire body disappeared beneath the spring water, sinking into its depths in an instant.
The water around him alternated between freezing cold and scorching hot, leaving him caught between worlds of ice and fire.
Yet Chen Xuanqing felt no fear. He held his breath, focused his mind, and began absorbing the medicinal power of the two Immortal Herbs and the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with all his might.
Just then, the Azure Gleam Sword at Chen Xuanqing's waist seemed to be drawn by some force. It suddenly fell into the water and vanished.
