Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes!
Dugu Bo brought Wang Li back here alone. When Dugu Yan was not around, Dugu Bo always kept a stern face, but he did not miss any necessary instructions or reminders:
"Stay at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. Absolutely do not wander around, absolutely do not touch anything at random. Who knows what might be extremely poisonous. If your body cannot withstand the impact of the extreme heat and extreme cold soul power, you must tell me as early as possible. Maybe I can still save your life."
"I'll be leaving for a while to catch you a hundred-year or thousand-year soul beast, enough for you to eat for a month. During this time, take care of yourself."
Wang Li could tell good advice from bad, so he nodded and replied,
"Alright, senior. I understand."
After that, Dugu Bo left with peace of mind.
However, once Dugu Bo was gone, Wang Li headed straight to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes in the center of the valley. He looked around, chose a spot nearby, sat down cross-legged, and began cultivating.
In an instant, the extreme heat and extreme cold soul power that was constantly eroding his body was actively drawn into him.
Others avoided it at all costs, but he welcomed it eagerly. The collision between the extreme heat and extreme cold soul power unleashed tremendous destructive force, causing severe damage to Wang Li's body.
Yet very quickly, his body began to repair itself. The healed areas even carried a faint but real glow, which then completely concealed itself within his body. It did not disappear, but fully merged into him.
Meanwhile, after circulating repeatedly within his body, the extreme heat and extreme cold soul power was soon subdued by him and integrated into his own soul power.
Cultivating here not only pushed his soul power forward in great strides toward level twenty-seven, but also constantly tempered his body. As expected of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, and worthy of being one of the three great treasure lands.
When he awoke from cultivation and opened his eyes, he immediately saw Dugu Bo standing there with a grave expression. Seeing Wang Li awake, Dugu Bo erupted in anger and shouted:
"You little brat, did you not take my words to heart? You actually dared to cultivate right next to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. Do you have any idea that even I wouldn't dare get this close?"
"The extreme heat and extreme cold soul power here has already reached the level of fire poison and ice poison. Others wouldn't dare touch it, yet you actually absorbed it into your body. Are you trying to die?"
Dugu Bo was furious, but also deeply shaken. Wang Li was simply too bold. He had only been gone for a short while, and this kid dared to court death like this.
What if the boy had really died? What would happen to his granddaughter? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his gaze grew increasingly unfriendly.
Wang Li, on the other hand, was smiling happily. He had already experienced the tremendous benefits of cultivating here and even took the initiative to comfort him:
"Senior, look, I'm fine, aren't I? And my soul power has increased a lot. My mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul has much stronger vitality compared to ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"I can feel that the greater the external pressure, the faster my cultivation speed becomes. Steady and comfortable cultivation doesn't suit me. This extreme heat and extreme cold soul power is just right for me."
"Also, senior, I'm hungry…"
Seeing that Wang Li was indeed unharmed, Dugu Bo finally relaxed. After hearing Wang Li's explanation of his martial soul, he even felt that it made some sense. If a mutated martial soul had nothing special about it, Wang Li wouldn't have been able to reach such a high soul power level at such a young age.
Then, hearing Wang Li complain that he was hungry, Dugu Bo could only wave his hand and say:
"The soul beast I caught for you is outside the valley. Go deal with it yourself. A seven-hundred-year Great Horned Bull should be enough to feed you for one or two months."
Upon hearing this, Wang Li jumped up and said,
"Thank you, senior!"
Then he hurriedly ran out. He was truly starving. Every time he finished cultivating, he felt hungry enough to eat an entire cow, and this time Dugu Bo really did catch him a cow.
This was also a drawback of his cultivation method. Although it was fast, the consumption was enormous. After all, nothing in the world is perfect.
Upon reaching the outside of the valley, Wang Li immediately spotted a massive, well-fed beast. It was already dead, with a yellow soul ring floating above its body.
It was a bull-type soul beast. Its most notable feature was its pair of large horns, terrifying weapons capable of goring a Soul Elder or even a Soul Ancestor through the gut.
However, Dugu Bo's strength was overwhelming. Without even leaving a wound, he had shattered its vitality with sheer soul power.
After observing it for a moment, Wang Li got to work. He rummaged through his storage soul tool and took out several different knives and axes, along with pots, bowls, ladles, and various cooking utensils.
After obtaining the storage soul tool, he had prepared himself a complete outdoor survival kit. After all, soul masters needed to hunt soul beasts to advance, and soul beasts all lived in wild soul beast forests.
He made a few gestures with his hands, then summoned his martial soul. Using Blue Silver vines, he hoisted the Great Horned Bull up, began draining its blood, and gradually dismembered it.
After Master Wang's busy work, the entire Great Horned Bull was turned into basins of neatly separated cuts of meat.
He first set a pot of beef brisket to stew and roasted a bull leg. As for the remaining meat, Wang Li transported it to the icy spring near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes for cold storage. Keeping it for one or two months would definitely not be a problem.
Worthy of being a seven-hundred-year Great Horned Bull, it took Wang Li three full hours to finally finish stewing and roasting the meat.
The taste was certainly no match for a restaurant. After all, Wang Li was a soul master, not a chef. But the quality of the meat was excellent, giving it a unique flavor of its own.
Wang Li did not eat alone. In addition to his own portion, he also prepared a serving for Dugu Bo.
At Dugu Bo's level, going without food for long periods was no big deal, but seeing Wang Li eat so heartily, he subconsciously picked up his chopsticks as well.
After the old man and the young man had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Li looked at Dugu Bo and said with a grin:
"Senior, I have a favor to ask."
Dugu Bo glanced at the grinning boy and asked bluntly,
"What is it?"
Wang Li replied,
"Beat me up."
Hearing this, even Dugu Bo was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully,
"Are you serious?"
Wang Li nodded and said firmly,
"Only sufficient pressure can drive my growth. Senior, you can hit me a bit harder. I even want to experience the feeling of hanging by a thread between life and death."
"No problem. Of course there's no problem!"
Dugu Bo stood up, his face wearing a terrifying smile that could make children stop crying at night. He had long wanted to beat this kid. Now that Wang Li had brought it up himself, there was no reason to refuse.
"No matter how much pressure you want, I can let you experience it!"
