Douluo Continent: The Heavenly Book Transforms into Mortals

Chapter 72 Ice and Fire Body Refinement (Please add to your favorites!!!)

"That sweet potato has a strong dragon aura, and its aura is powerful and expansive. It should be of the earth element, and we can also preliminarily infer from its aura that it is not poisonous," Dugu Bo said.

He could also tell that Su Wen was interested in the earth dragon golden melon.

"What? Didn't you already gain the ability to control earth elements? Do you want to use this Earth Dragon Golden Gourd to enhance that ability?"

Among the immortal herbs present, those that are extremely compatible with Su Wen's martial soul are truly hard to find.

They can only have similar functions in certain aspects.

Unfortunately, Su Wen's abilities are somewhat diverse.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon would be quite beneficial to Su Wen. With the rich dragon energy surrounding him, it might allow Su Wen's martial soul to evolve to the top level.

Even after undergoing three minor evolutions, Su Wen's current martial soul can only be described as a high-level martial soul.

A snake-type soul beast can evolve by swallowing the heart and bloodline of a sub-dragon-type soul beast, and by chance, it can directly transform by absorbing the bloodline of a true dragon.

However, no matter how much a true dragon absorbs the bloodline of other true dragons, it cannot advance further. Instead, it will make its own bloodline impure and affect its potential.

This can also be seen as the difference between low-level and top-level martial souls.

Evolving a low-level martial soul into a high-level martial soul or even a top-level martial soul is much simpler than taking a further step beyond a top-level martial soul.

Perhaps a top-tier martial soul could also transform by absorbing this Earth Dragon Golden Melon, but that would be a gamble. However, if Su Wen absorbs this Earth Dragon Golden Melon, as long as there is no conflict in the medicinal effects, he will definitely transform into a top-tier martial soul, and one of the strongest among top-tier martial souls.

And conflict.

To be honest, Su Wen's current martial spirit is completely unable to counteract the medicinal effects of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

In conclusion, Dugu Bo believes that Su Wen has his eye on the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

However, Su Wen shook his head.

"No, I don't intend to absorb this Earth Dragon Golden Gourd."

"Earth Dragon Golden Melon?" Dugu Bo was surprised by the name Su Wen gave him: "You know it?"

Su Wen reacted very quickly and did not show any signs of distress.

"With its powerful dragon aura, earth-elemental energy, and golden veins resembling a sweet potato, why not call it the Earth Dragon Golden Sweet Potato?"

Dugu Bo suddenly realized, nodded, and said, "Your name is really fitting."

"The reason I'm paying attention to this Earth Dragon Golden Melon is because it reminds me of my grandfather, who raised me from childhood. His martial soul is a sweet potato. He only broke through to the Soul Master level a few years ago, and he should be close to breaking through to the Great Soul Master level now."

Dugu Bo remained silent.

Your grandfather?

How old is he?

He broke through to Soul Master a few years ago, and now he's about to break through to Great Soul Master?

That's outrageous.

However, after observing Su Wen's expression, Dugu Bo felt that he wasn't talking nonsense.

"You want your grandfather to take this earthworm melon?" Dugu Bo looked at Su Wen, somewhat incredulous.

Although I don't know his exact age, he's probably at least in his fifties or sixties, maybe even seventies or eighties, if he's Su Wen's grandfather.

At this age, he's only a Soul Master, yet he's consuming this Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

It is truly a waste of resources.

However, Dugu Bo did not try to persuade Su Wen.

Instead, he secretly approved of Su Wen's firm gaze.

"In that case, which treasure do you plan to absorb?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

Now that he has seen so many rare and precious materials, Su Wen can't just not think about absorbing one of them, can he?

After all, Su Wen's martial spirit itself had held him back a lot. Absorbing any of the rare herbs here would give him a chance to evolve his martial spirit to the top level.

Su Wen looked at both ends of the oval-shaped spring.

"You're still eyeing those two poisonous herbs?" Dugu Bo explained seriously the toxicity of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable.

"Grandpa Dugu, you rely on the power of ice and fire to suppress your own toxins, so you should also know very well that this place has an almost naturally formed cycle of ice and fire power that helps to suppress toxins."

"I wonder if I could obtain this ultimate power of ice and fire to temper my body at the same time, and perhaps then I could acquire a physique that is immune to all poisons."

Dugu Bo interrupted Su Wen, saying, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but these two herbs are themselves highly poisonous."

Su Wen said, "The toxicity of these two herbs should be pure ice and fire poison derived from the extreme of ice and fire attributes."

Dugu Bo remained silent.

It seems to be a pure attribute poison.

"If the medicinal properties of the two herbs are combined, I think the toxicity will be neutralized. After all, the same extreme attributes of ice and fire are not toxic in the spiritual energy of this valley."

The spiritual energy within this valley is filled with extreme ice and fire power, which is not poisonous, but the erosion caused by these two extreme attributes can harm a Soul Master's body. The resulting toxicity from this erosion might be neutralized, but the damage to the body is irreversible.

Dugu Bo frowned.

He was indeed pondering the possibility Su Wen had mentioned.

The use of poisons and the manipulation of toxicity counteraction forced him to think seriously about these matters.

This is his profession.

"Theoretically, all of your statements are correct." Dugu Bo really felt there was a chance.

"But."

"I know that Grandpa Dugu and Sister Yan both have toxins in their bodies. If you absorb these two poisons at the same time, even if my theory is correct, the toxins may mutate and cause an outbreak," Su Wen said. "Why don't I give it a try?"

"you?"

"That's right. The effects of ice and fire attributes on physical tempering are bound to be very good. I think I can use these two rare herbs to help me. I already have fire element control. With these two herbs, my fire element control will definitely be even higher. And it is very likely that I will also gain the ability to control ice element."

Dugu Bo shook his head.

Even though many of the theoretical aspects were sound and the benefits were tempting, he still intended to stop Su Wen.

"You only see the benefits, but you haven't thought about what would happen if the two poisons couldn't be balanced." Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "Even I can only make a preliminary judgment on the toxicity of the two herbs, and I can't guarantee that the two herbs are purely attribute poisons, let alone whether the ice poison and fire poison can be balanced and balanced."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Dugu, I won't be too impulsive." Su Wen wasn't surprised and smiled faintly.

"I will cultivate here for a while and try to absorb the ultimate power of ice and fire to temper my body. If I can withstand it, I will consider trying to absorb both herbs at the same time."

Hearing Su Wen say this, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Su Wen still had some sense.

"That works too. Although the ice and fire forces in this valley have extremely strong corrosive power, the two completely opposite forces seem to be perfectly integrated, mutually reinforcing each other." Dugu Bo has been cultivating here for a long time and is very familiar with the environment.

"If you can withstand the extreme fire elemental energy and use it to temper yourself, then with the help of this special synergistic ice and fire power, you have a chance to further develop resistance to the ice element."

Su Wen was quite surprised as he listened to Dugu Bo's analysis.

This old poison master is indeed quite skilled in the study of martial spirit cultivation.
