Chapter 100 Ice and Fire Body Refinement
At this moment, Yang Podi seemed to have thought of something: "Dad, will you be going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings this time?"
"Pretty much. We plan to go to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, Dad and Second Uncle both have their ninth spirit rings, so it might take them between 50,000 and 80,000 years."
"How about I go with you? I'm also looking to hunt for my fifth spirit ring."
Yang Zhentian was speechless upon hearing his son's words: "You only have a fifth spirit ring, how strong can you be? I estimate it's only around 20,000 years old at most. You'd be more suited to the mixed zone, where there would be a wider variety of spirit rings."
Yang Podi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I want to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in Sunset Forest."
"Breakthrough enemy, why did you suddenly want to go to the Ice and Fire Eyes?"
"I want to absorb those two immortal herbs. I'm already a quasi-Soul King, so absorbing the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom shouldn't be a problem."
Upon hearing Yang Podi's words, Yang Zhentian's face darkened, and even his two grandfathers came over. The reason why the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate Grass had not been picked in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was because Yang Podi wanted to use these two immortal herbs.
However, these two immortal herbs possess extremely cold and extremely hot poisons, making their use exceptionally dangerous. Yang Podi is currently only a Soul King; I wonder if he can withstand them?
The Po clan is a family of alchemists, and they could guess a little about Yang Podi's purpose.
At this moment, Grandpa Yang Wudi also became serious: "Podi, you need to think this through. These two immortal herbs are extraordinary. If you take them at the same time, you might experience a body explosion. Your current strength is already far ahead of your peers. There is no need to do such a risky thing."
But Yang Podi remained resolute: "Grandpa, I know all that you're saying. I think with my current physical strength, absorbing these two immortal herbs should be no problem at all."
"Moreover, I ate Qirong Tongtianju and whale collagen more than a year ago, and my physical condition is much stronger than before."
Yang Wudi seemed a little surprised: "Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum? I didn't expect you to have actually eaten it. No wonder you can reach the fourth ring for ten thousand years. But when did you get the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum?"
"Grandpa, I found this in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. I've been reluctant to take it. If it weren't for my fourth spirit ring, I wouldn't be in such a hurry."
Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang were speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but complain in their hearts: Just how many good things did their son and grandson get in the Yin-Yang Well? There were already six or seven immortal herbs known to exist.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang pulled Yang Podi's body and began to examine him carefully, sometimes even marveling at his abilities.
"Indeed, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is just as legendary. It can open up the eight meridians and cultivate an indestructible body. It is indeed very good for improving physical fitness."
"Po Di, with your current physical abilities and cultivation speed, you wouldn't face much of a bottleneck even if you reached the Title Douluo level. Are you still sure you want to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"
"Grandpa, I'm sure. I think those two immortal herbs can greatly improve my physical condition, and they can make me immune to ice and fire and immune to all poisons. That's what I need most."
Of course, Yang Podi didn't say one more thing: after consuming the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot, along with the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, there will be extreme cold and extreme heat. I wonder if it will be possible to achieve a second awakening of the main body's martial soul under these conditions.
Even if I can't achieve a Gold-level second awakening, achieving a Silver-level second awakening shouldn't be a big problem.
Before a second awakening, a martial soul is considered an ordinary martial soul. However, if one can achieve a silver-level second awakening, it can reach the level of a top-tier martial soul, no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
If you're lucky enough to achieve a second awakening at the Gold level, then it's basically no weaker than a God-level Martial Soul.
Seeing that there seemed to be no way to stop Yang Podi from going to the Ice and Fire Eyes, Yang Wudi and the other two had no choice but to agree.
After some discussion, the three decided that Yang Podi's second grandfather, Yang Wushuang, would take him to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. This would allow Yang Wushuang to familiarize himself with the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and prepare supplies in advance. It would also allow Yang Podi to spend more time with his second grandfather, Yang Wushuang, since they might have less and less time together in the future.
As for the matter of hunting for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest, we'll probably have to wait until the two of them return before discussing it further.
And so, with his second grandfather Yang Wushuang leading Yang Podi, they set off overnight, secretly heading towards Sunset Forest.
Since they were traveling secretly, the two did not ride in a carriage, but were instead led directly by Yang Wushuang. Yang Podi galloped away at top speed.
Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang lived up to his reputation as a quasi-titled Douluo; he was quite fast, and in just half an hour, the two arrived at Sunset Forest.
Normally, the Soul Hunter Town in Sunset Forest is bustling with people during the day, but there are hardly any people at night, since not many dare to venture into Sunset Forest at night.
Meanwhile, Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang, skilled and daring, led Yang Podi directly into the Sunset Forest under the cover of night.
In just a few hours, the two arrived at the entrance to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Although the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was still shrouded in poisonous gas, the entrance was no longer visible; the large opening had been sealed off by a giant boulder. Furthermore, thanks to his mother's elaborate decorations, most people probably wouldn't even be able to find the entrance or exit.
Grandfather Yang Wushuang fumbled around in one spot for a moment, then opened a mechanism, revealing a stone door just big enough for one person to pass through. He then took out a key from his person and opened the stone door.
As Yang Wushuang opened the door, he reminded Yang Podi, "Podi, you must remember how to open this door and the key. Next time you come alone, be especially careful, especially with the poisonous fog outside. Your grandfather and I have already dealt with it, and it's much more toxic than before."
Hearing this, Yang Podi nodded. His two grandfathers were indeed experienced. They not only designed separate mechanisms for the entrance and exit, but also reinforced the poisonous fog. This would prevent the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well from being damaged by soul beasts, and also prevent it from being found by other people.
After entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Yang Podi stared intently at the two remaining immortal herbs: the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom. As for the other immortal herbs, they had long been dug up cleanly. Now, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was filled with herbs that were hundreds or thousands of years old, but there were no herbs that were ten thousand years old.
Moreover, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye has been completely redesigned, resembling a medicinal field with countless herbs planted in a very clear manner.
Within the entire Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, stood alone.
Standing proudly before the spring, only the two of them radiated light.
The Eight-Pointed Ice Grass is a large, white, eight-pointed flower. It is an extremely cold-natured flower that can chill the heart, numb the central nervous system, and create a chilling atmosphere within ten meters.
The Fiery Apricot is a plant that resembles a cabbage but is entirely fiery red. It is a highly poisonous plant with top-level fire poison.
These two immortal herbs possess extreme fire and ice poison respectively. Unless one is extremely powerful and their attributes are the same, consuming either one will inevitably lead to death.
The only way to use it is to use both herbs at the same time, so that the fire poison and the cold poison can interact with each other in the body, thus giving a glimmer of hope.
Yang Podi took out his soul tools and some valuables and placed them on the ground: "Second Grandfather, could you please help me pick these two immortal herbs?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wushuang couldn't help but sigh. Since he had some knowledge of immortal herbs, he knew how to harvest them.
Yang Wushuang used his powerful soul force to approach the two immortal herbs, then used an iron dagger to cut off the octagonal ice grass and a jade dagger to cut off the fiery apricot. He then used his soul force to drag the two immortal herbs to Yang Podi's side.
Yang Podi had no time to care about anything else now. He grabbed the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass with his left hand and the Fiery Apricot Blossom with his right, feeling intense pain in both hands.
My entire left hand felt like it was inside ice; the skin began to crack, and it seemed about to freeze solid. My entire right hand, on the other hand, felt like it was in a raging fire; my entire arm looked like it was about to melt, and it started to turn charred.
Yang Podi quickly brought his left and right hands together, allowing the medicinal power of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass in his left hand and the Fiery Apricot Pepper in his right hand to cancel each other out. His entire right and left hands seemed to fall into a strange calm, with no more icy or fiery power for a short time.
"This is the opportunity."
Yang Podi put the two immortal herbs directly into his mouth and chewed them quickly.
How to put it? I can only say that the fairy herb truly lives up to its name; it begins to take effect as soon as it is chewed and swallowed.
Suddenly, a layer of icy blue rose directly from beneath my feet, and in the blink of an eye, my entire body had turned completely blue. Then, another layer of red rose up.
At this moment, Yang Podi sometimes looked like a freshly cooked shrimp, his whole body was bright red, and at other times he looked as if he were in ice, his whole body was icy blue.
The entire process occurred alternately, as if two magical herbs were vying for dominance.
At this moment, Yang Podi was also suffering greatly. He felt as if he were in a state of extreme cold and extreme heat, and his mood was on the verge of collapse.
Yang Podi understood that he was in great danger, and the slightest carelessness could lead to his death. The only way was to rapidly utilize the soul power within his body.
But that didn't seem to be enough. Then, both the tail bone of the Golden Crocodile King and the wings of the Firehawk extended out of its body, as if they were also undergoing the trials of extreme heat and cold.
As time went by, the effects of the two immortal herbs began to spread rapidly throughout the entire body. The physical body seemed to lose all perception of the outside world, only feeling discomfort, and even consciousness began to gradually disappear.
Yang Podi knew that continuing like this would be very dangerous and that he had to take action. So he gritted his teeth, quickly ran towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and then jumped directly into it.
As one enters the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, bursts of ice and fire power constantly emanate from it, making one feel as if they are in a fiery hell one moment and as if they are in a frozen world the next.
The two forces of the Yin-Yang Spring, one of ice and one of fire, seemed to be in opposition to the other, and then merged with each other.
At this moment, Yang Podi was suffering immense pain, both physically and spiritually. This pain was almost penetrating to the bone marrow, especially the two exposed external soul bones, which were being forged as if in the midst of ice and fire.
As time went by, Yang Podi seemed unable to bear the pain any longer. His will to resist gradually dissipated, and he slowly fell into a coma.
