Chapter 8 Refining the Body with Ice and Fire
Lin Ye glanced at Xue Di again, then sighed and thought it wasn't appropriate to let this big shot do the work. So he looked at Dugu Bo to the side.
"Senior, please help me dig out that cabbage. Use this to dig it out." As she spoke, she handed the jade bowl to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo felt aggrieved but said nothing. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the bowl, and obediently got to work. He just muttered to himself, "They used to call me by my name, but now they call me 'senior' when they need help. Damn it, they really are the type to use people when they need them and then discard them when they don't."
On Hyotei's side, a dagger flashed with cold light, and an eight-pointed white flower fell to the ground, landing among the herbs. In an instant, a chill emanated from the flower, and the surrounding herbs were covered with a thin layer of white frost.
At this moment, Hyotei understood why Lin Ye hadn't made a move; the cold air was indeed beyond what Lin Ye could withstand in his current state.
However, it was no big deal for her. Hyotei picked up the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass without feeling any discomfort.
At the same time, Dugu Bo also dug out the Fiery Apricot on the other side from its roots.
In contrast, a surge of intense heat quickly enveloped the other side of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Two magical herbs were presented to Lin Ye at the same time, and then an even stranger scene unfolded.
They were previously extremely cold and extremely hot, but both of their auras disappeared at the same time.
A faint red light covered the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Fiery Apricot Blossom.
After the two immortal herbs intersected, although they were restrained by each other's aura, it only lasted for ten breaths.
And within these ten breaths is the best time to take them.
Under Dugu Bo's horrified gaze, Lin Ye unhesitatingly put the two immortal herbs into his mouth and chewed and swallowed them in large mouthfuls.
Although the two kinds of immortal herbs were highly poisonous, after being mutually restrained, they were no longer as domineering as before. They melted in the mouth and turned into saliva that flowed down the throat. Lin Ye only felt that the fragrance was overflowing in his nasal cavity.
"It tastes really good." Lin Ye's expression froze slightly, but his hands moved quickly as he took off his clothes.
The drug took effect, and Lin Ye's body trembled involuntarily. Then, a layer of icy blue light rose from beneath his feet.
In the blink of an eye, his entire body turned ice blue from head to toe. Then, the ice blue was replaced by fiery red, a red like that of a boiled shrimp.
The alternation of blue and red, the contrast of ice and fire, looks extremely magical.
Between the extremes of hot and cold, two extreme energies assaulted Lin Ye's body, causing indescribable pain, which instantly manifested as a mask of agony on his face.
Although the two energies of ice and fire were neutralized after restraining each other, they began to stir wildly after entering his body.
In a short time, Lin Ye felt his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred, and he had no choice but to endure the inhuman pain and take a step forward.
With a splash, Lin Ye fell into the Yin-Yang Spring of Ice and Fire, at the very intersection of the extremely cold Yin Spring and the scorching Yang Spring.
Upon seeing this, Xue Di and Bing Di's expressions changed slightly, and their hearts jumped into their throats.
The two women started to worry. If something happened to Lin Ye, wouldn't the promised Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow be ruined?
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, was utterly shocked. Even he, a titled Douluo, couldn't stay by the spring for long, yet that little brat had jumped right in.
Before long, Lin Ye's entire body sank into it.
Then, the water surface returned to calm, and the milky white and crimson spring water remained clearly distinct.
Water vapor continued to rise from the water's surface, and everything returned to silence once more.
After falling into the spring, Lin Ye immediately lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
Fortunately, he had eaten a few pieces of whale gelatin before he arrived, which strengthened his body; otherwise, he would probably have exploded and died by now.
Time flew by, the sun set in the west, night fell, the valley was shrouded in darkness, the spring was calm, and Lin Ye was still nowhere to be seen.
Two figures stood quietly on the shore, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor craning their necks in anticipation.
Not far away, Dugu Bo lay on the ground, his whole body convulsing, groaning softly. At that moment, he felt as if needles were pricking his head and the soles of his feet, causing him unbearable pain.
This situation lasted for nearly an hour before it stopped.
Xue Di glanced at him indifferently, seemingly lost in thought, but remained silent.
……
The next morning, ripples suddenly appeared on the water's surface, and the next moment, a head emerged from the water.
Seeing the three people staring at him, Lin Ye felt a little embarrassed. Not everyone likes being watched.
"You, turn around."
While the three of them were dodging, Lin Ye quickly went ashore and got dressed.
"Are you done? Shall we go?"
Hyotei spoke first, urging them on, as she couldn't wait to have a big meal.
Lin Ye turned and ran away into the distance, saying, "Wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."
When he returned, he had a magical herb in his hand. It was an unremarkable herb, entirely green, but strangely, in the center of the herb were three snow-white leaves, with a few drops of water in the center of the leaves, like morning dew.
The dew that makes one yearn for the autumn waters, when consumed, can train one's discerning eyes to see through all strange and wondrous things.
Of course, this statement is somewhat exaggerated.
Consuming the "Wangchuan Qiushui Dew" can greatly enhance one's soul power. It can be said that this immortal herb is suitable for everyone to consume.
For Lin Ye, it would be even more suitable.
Through the parchment, he learned that the martial spirit he would awaken in the future was a martial spirit called "Ghost Spirit," which was a pure spiritual martial spirit.
"Sister Yuki-onna, please put this away for me."
After entrusting the Dew of Longing to the Snow Emperor for safekeeping, Lin Ye planned to leave. He did not collect the other immortal herbs, letting them grow for a few more years.
Having witnessed the whole thing, Dugu Bo's mind started racing. These people, no, these soul beasts, seemed very familiar with these herbs. He wondered if they had any way to treat the poison in his body.
Thinking this, he came before the Snow Emperor and bowed deeply.
"What are you doing?" Xue Di asked, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"As you can probably tell, I am poisoned. I wonder if you could cure me?" Dugu Bo asked earnestly, then looked at Xue Di with hopeful eyes.
Upon hearing this, Xue Di looked at Lin Ye, her gaze seemingly asking whether she should save him.
This scene was witnessed by Dugu Bo. He hadn't held out much hope at first, but now it seemed that the other party really did have a solution.
The next moment, Dugu Bo knelt down on the ground with a thud. "Please help me, young lady. I am willing to do anything to repay your kindness."
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo had his own pride. If it were only for his own life, he would never beg others in such a humble manner.
