Soon, with the combined efforts of the group, they quickly eliminated the guardians surrounding the Tree of Life.
The whole process was thrilling but ultimately safe.
With Ye Lingling, the Soul Master of the Nine-Heart Begonia, providing support from the rear, Lin Mo, Dugu Yan, and the Charmeleon, despite suffering minor injuries in the battle, recovered rapidly under the healing light of the Nine Heart Begonia, and their wounds soon returned to normal.
Aside from its inability to cure poison, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is virtually perfect in terms of healing.
However, the ability to detoxify seems somewhat superfluous for their team at the moment.
Because Lin Mo had undergone the tempering of Ice and Fire Body Tempering, he was already immune to all poisons.
After activating its Sunny Day Soul Skill, the Charmeleon's flames are upgraded to the ultimate level, and ultimate-level fire inherently grants immunity to poison.
As for Dugu Yan, her Jade Phosphor Dragon Martial Soul is an expert in poisons, possessing extremely high resistance to toxins, making her immune to ordinary poisons.
The powerful healing abilities of the Nine Heart Begonia perfectly compensated for their team's weakness in sustained combat, making it an exceptionally suitable match.
The most important thing is to make up for the lack of battery life in the Charmeleon, which has no battery life.
Otherwise, once the Sunny Day arrives, Charmeleon will quickly become too exhausted and lose its fighting ability.
Whether it was his imagination or not, as the three of them gradually approached the Tree of Life, he actually sensed a faint fluctuation of fear emanating from this Plant-type Soul Beast.
Do these Plant-type Soul Beast, which only possess survival instincts and haven't yet developed true intelligence, also feel fear?
A hint of doubt flashed through Lin Mo's mind, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest.
He gestured towards the Charmeleon.
In response, the Charmeleon let out a low growl, and its Dragon Claw were instantly covered with a metallic silver-white sheen.
It lunged forward, unleashing its Metal Claw, and in a few swift movements tore a huge gash in the already weakened trunk of the Tree of Life, green sap flowing continuously from the wound.
The life force of the Tree of Life quickly withered away.
Seeing Ye Lingling immediately pulled out the dagger she had prepared beforehand and stepped forward to deliver the final blow.
As the Life force of the Tree of Life completely dissipated, a pale purple Soul Ring slowly condensed and took shape from the corpse of the Tree of Life.
Without delay, Ye Lingling immediately sat down cross-legged, raised her hand, and guided the Thousand-Year Soul Ring to her body to begin absorbing it.
The process went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.
When she opened her eyes again, the fluctuations of her Soul Power were noticeably stronger.
"Level 35." Ye Lingling said softly, feeling the surging Soul Power within her body, a hint of joy in her purple eyes.
This Tree of Life Soul Ring, with its cultivation spanning over two thousand years, likely boosted her Soul Power by more than one level.
The remaining three and a half levels of Soul Power enhancement came from the medicinal power of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid that had not yet been fully absorbed.
Dugu Bo, who had been observing the battle from the shadows, revealed himself and landed beside the group.
His gaze swept over the three young men, his face showing undisguised admiration.
"Excellent, truly excellent."
Dugu Bo's voice carried a hint of emotion, "You two girls work together perfectly."
Lin Mo, you're even more impressive! The fighting power of your Charmeleon might not even be a match for some Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level.
Immediately, Lin Mo looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Senior, now that I've helped Sister Lengleng obtain her Third Soul Ring, I plan to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate for a while."
He needs to take advantage of the extreme environment there to accelerate the refining of the medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot that have accumulated in his body.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both showed expressions of curiosity.
Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, " The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Is that your herb garden, Grandpa? Lin Mo, can't we go with you to take a look?"
Although Ye Lingling didn't speak, her purple eyes also looked at Lin Mo, clearly sharing the same thought.
Before Lin Mo could answer, Dugu Bo's face hardened, and he interrupted their thoughts in a serious tone, "Nonsense! Do you think you can just go to that place like that?"
He looked at his granddaughter and Ye Lingling, his voice carrying a warning, "At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, two extreme energies, extreme cold and extreme heat, intertwine, creating an extremely harsh environment."
"Don't even mention you two young girls, even I, an old man, couldn't stand staying in there for long!"
"The aura there is like a deadly poison to those whose Soul Power cultivation is insufficient."
If you rush in rashly, your Life will be in danger very soon—the kind of danger even the Nine Heart Begonia couldn't save!
Lin Mo nodded in agreement, "What the senior said is right."
I went there mainly because I had previously ingested two special immortal Immortal Herb, which had accumulated a large amount of medicinal power with Fire-type in my body.
Only by utilizing the unique and extreme environment there can these medicinal properties be refined and made available for one's own use.
He paused, then continued, "You all saw the benefits those two Ice and Fire Immortal Herb brought me, didn't you?"
The blood energy attack I unleash can be imbued with both extreme cold and extreme heat at will, or perhaps a dual poison of ice and fire.
"Moreover, perhaps because my body has adapted to that power, the extreme environment there not only did not harm me, but was actually very beneficial to my cultivation."
The Charmeleon also loved that place, especially the Blazing Hot Yang Spring.
After listening to Dugu Bo's stern warning and Lin Mo's patient explanation, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling understood the danger and the reasons behind it.
The curiosity and ideas I had were immediately extinguished; I didn't ask any more questions, nor did I mention wanting to go and see for myself.
Subsequently, Dugu Bo personally escorted Lin Mo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well deep within the Sunset Forest.
He himself, along with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Stepping into the valley once more, feeling the familiar aura of ice and fire, Lin Mo let out a long breath.
He patted the Charmeleon following at his feet and quickly planned out his training schedule for the next period of time.
For the most part of the time to come, he will likely stay in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, using the unique environment to refine the accumulated medicinal power of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb within his body.
Further solidify the foundation and strengthen physical fitness.
The rest of the time, he would return to the college as needed to handle some necessary matters.
Of course, he also had another ulterior motive.
Perhaps we could find an opportunity to ask Dugu Bo to limit his strength to a certain range so that he can spar with me.
The immense pressure from high-level Soul Master is the best way to stimulate the explosion of Soul Master's potential, which is very beneficial for breakthroughs in cultivation.
At the same time, this process of constantly approaching one's own limits and seeking breakthroughs beyond those limits can also play a crucial catalytic role in the cultivation and Second Awakening of Body Martial Soul.
After all, cultivating one's Body Martial Soul is, in a sense, a process of constantly exploring the body's potential and repeatedly touching and breaking through one's own limits.
Lin Mo vaguely remembered that in the distant future, an important method for the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening was to use the terrifying, all-pervasive pressure of the deep sea.
"If no other more suitable method can be found to induce the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, then the pressure from the deep sea may be an unavoidable path to try."
He looked at his outstretched hands and muttered something to himself.
But that's a matter for later. Right now, we should focus on refining the medicinal power and improving our strength.
