Chapter 37: Ultimate Ice and Fire Tempering!
Yu Xiaolie crouched low as he moved through the medicinal herb field, fine beads of sweat constantly appearing on his forehead and wetting his temples.
After a busy day, he finally finished picking the necessary herbs. He straightened up, let out a long sigh, and casually wiped away his sweat.
He strode to the side and quickly lit a fire in front of the alchemy furnace that Dugu Xin had prepared for him. The flames roared and illuminated his focused face.
He first put the cockscomb phoenix sunflower and the Wangshu fairy grass into the alchemy furnace. As the temperature rose, the fairy grass gradually melted, and a strange fragrance spread.
Yu Xiaolie kept adjusting the heat with both hands, sweat rolling down his forehead, but he was completely unaware, his mind only focused on the process of refining the pill.
After careful refining, "Red Sun Pills" radiating a warm glow took shape in the alchemy furnace. He carefully took them out and placed them in a specially made jade box.
The "Red Sun Pill" is used to inject into the heart meridian.
Immediately afterwards, he began to refine "Mysterious Yin Powder".
Put the eight-cornered ice grass and the peach blossom fairy grass into another alchemy furnace.
This time, as the immortal herbs melted, wisps of cold air escaped from the alchemy furnace, creating a stark contrast to the previous heat.
The "Mysterious Yin Powder" was then made, and its purpose was to be integrated into the martial soul's origin.
Finally, he gently plucked the stamen of the Qilan flower, ground it into powder, and used it as a medicinal ingredient.
After several days, everything was finally ready.
Holding the pills, powders, and medicinal ingredients in both hands, Yu Xiaolie strode towards Dugu Xin, speaking succinctly.
"We can begin."
Dugu Xin looked warily at the herbs in Yu Xiaolie's hand.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and a streak of emerald green poisonous light shot towards Yu Xiaolie like lightning.
Yu Xiaolie couldn't dodge in time, and the poisonous light instantly pierced his neck. His body stiffened, and his brows furrowed tightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
Dugu Xin snorted coldly and said in a cold tone.
"If anything happens to me, you won't be able to leave alive either."
Yu Xiaolie remained calm, shrugging indifferently, while secretly sneering to himself.
This little bit of poison is no threat to me. Once I've cured you, let's see what you can do then.
Dugu Xin took the herbs, remained silent for a moment, tilted his head back and drank them all in one gulp, then sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes to meditate.
His body began to slowly circulate his energy, attempting to refine the medicine he had just taken.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaolie didn't delay any longer.
Next came the long-awaited transformation he had been waiting for.
He quickly walked to the prepared herb.
He covered his hands with his icy soul power again and picked up the Fiery Apricot Blossom.
He deftly removed the impurities from the roots and stems of the immortal herb, then picked up the Flaming Marrow Heart-Burning Grass and placed the two together.
He then followed the same method to process the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Netherworld Cold Soul Orchid.
Without hesitation, he sent the two sets of immortal herbs into the alchemy furnace to refine them.
Once the pill was refined, Yu Xiaolie took it without hesitation, took a deep breath, and steadily walked towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
As he drew closer, a powerful aura of ice and fire emanated from him, causing his clothes to flutter wildly.
Standing on the shore, a hint of nervousness flashed through his mind, but more than that, he felt a strong desire to increase his strength.
Yu Xiaolie stepped into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and was instantly enveloped by the scorching heat and the biting cold.
The surging power of ice and fire was like thousands of steel needles, piercing into every inch of his skin.
His legs went weak instantly, and he uncontrollably knelt in the water, his hands instinctively gripping the ground tightly.
This power... is even more terrifying than he imagined!
Yu Xiaolie cried out in his heart, each breath bringing with it the excruciating pain of ice and fire.
As the pain intensified, his soul power surged out uncontrollably, and a faint golden light emanated from his body.
At the same time, his martial spirit, Luo Sanpao, appeared on its own under the pull of powerful energy resonance, with illusory light and shadow appearing and disappearing behind him.
Before Yu Xiaolie could react, Luo Sanpao let out a "whoosh" and ran off towards the distant shore.
Yu Xiaolie's eyes widened, and he tried to shout but couldn't make a sound. His body was bound by the power of ice and fire, and he couldn't move.
A sense of panic welled up in his heart. He wondered what Luo Sanpao was doing running out there, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Luo Sanpao had been following him for so long, he wouldn't do anything reckless.
Despite enduring unbearable physical pain, Yu Xiaolie tried his best to remain calm.
He clenched his teeth, sweat mingling with the moisture from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, constantly rolling down his forehead, and his vision became somewhat blurred.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and slowly walked into them.
Luo Sanpao climbed ashore, soaking wet, his body hair clinging to his skin in strands, with water droplets constantly rolling off the tips of his hair.
Its body trembled slightly, its face was full of pain, and it made low whimpering noises from time to time, its four paws pawing restlessly at the ground.
It shook its head vigorously, trying to clear its mind, then raised its nose high, sniffing the air intensely, and staggered around, searching.
Suddenly, its nose snapped up, as if it had caught something, and it staggered off in one direction.
In a secluded corner, Luo Sanpao discovered the Dragon Blood Earth Vein Fruit.
The fruit is heart-shaped, with veins covering its skin like blood vessels, and its entire body is a deep dark red.
Bathed in sunlight, the fruit gleams with a gentle luster, and wisps of heat rise from its surface.
Without hesitation, Luo Sanpao swallowed the Dragon Blood Earth Vein Fruit in one gulp.
Almost instantly, its body stiffened, then began to tremble violently as a surge of raging energy swept through its body.
At this moment, Yu Xiaolie, inside the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, was enduring the excruciating pain caused by the interplay of extreme heat and extreme ice.
His body was tense, his muscles twitching in pain, and every inch of his skin felt as if it were being burned by fire and frozen by ice.
His consciousness teetered on the edge of agony, yet he persevered through sheer grit.
He secretly rejoiced.
Luckily, I usually pay attention to physical training; an ordinary person wouldn't be able to withstand such torment.
On the other side, after swallowing the fruit, Luo Sanpao was in extreme pain. His limbs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his body trembling violently uncontrollably.
Its fur seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, standing upright, and its skin surface flashed with eerie red and blue light alternately, as if two extreme energies were colliding and fighting wildly within its body.
Its body swelled at a visible speed, and its originally cute appearance gradually became ferocious and terrifying. The whimpers coming from its mouth became lower and more painful.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xiaolie suddenly felt a surge within his body. The toxins that had been hidden deep within him seemed to flee out of his body like startled fish.
The toxins quickly dissipated in the spring water, turning into wisps of light blue smoke.
The ice and fire energies within his body gradually reached a balance, no longer as violent and rampant as before.
Yu Xiaolie suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and his previously dim eyes instantly regained their luster.
