Douluo Continent: The Heavenly Book Transforms into Mortals

Chapter 74 Refining the Golden Body with Ice and Fire (Please read on!!! Please add to your favorites!!!)

Dugu Bo had also communicated with Su Wen over the past three months and knew that the kid was only studying the theory of martial spirits and didn't really know much about poisons and herbs.

Of course, Su Wen had a comprehensive understanding of some basic common sense.

After trying it, Su Wen confirmed that it could only be cut with metal or iron, and immediately prepared to cut the two immortal herbs with an iron sheet.

He didn't have the Jade Hand, but he had a hand made of book pages instead.

Although the two immortal herbs were instantly scorched and frozen, Su Wen quickly filled in the pages and presented them to himself at the same time.

Strangely, the two immortal herbs, which had previously emitted extreme cold and heat, suddenly lost their auras when they came together.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo felt a little more confident, knowing that Su Wen's theory was at least feasible.

Su Wen took a deep breath and activated his second soul skill.

He mobilized the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) filled with extreme ice and fire aura to envelop the two immortal herbs, and then used his soul power to envelop them again outside the天地元气.

With two layers of buffer, he finally swallowed the two immortal herbs.

He really swallowed it whole.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He then leaped into the center of the spring, where milky white and vermilion intertwined.

Dugu Bo's heart was in his throat.

However, seeing that Su Wen did not melt away instantly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though Su Wen's face kept changing between red and blue, Dugu Bo thought it was normal.

Taking medication, especially two highly poisonous and rare herbs, this kind of reaction is quite normal.

As long as the person doesn't die, the previous absorption theory is largely sound.

Su Wen's success thus became more likely.

That's the most important thing.

The intense collision of the two forces of ice and fire within his body caused Su Wen extreme pain.

This was much more painful than when he absorbed a spirit ring at a higher level.

To be precise, his absorption of a spirit ring beyond his level was a trick, and he did not truly exceed his limits.

Now, the medicinal power of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable is colliding within his body. The power of ice and fire is constantly damaging every part of his body. Then, the gentle medicinal power of the fusion of the two immortal herbs soothes and repairs these injuries.

Repeatedly.

Su Wen's body also became increasingly powerful under this tempering.

However, the impact of this ice and fire was extremely powerful. Su Wen was able to avoid the explosion caused by the clash between ice and fire by relying on the external pressure from the spring water in the spring.

The power of ice and fire within his body, along with the continuous flow of gentle medicinal power, is also what allows Su Wen to resist the erosion of the spring water from the outside world.

Now, a strange balance has been generated.

Su Wen felt the process of every cell in his body being damaged and then repaired.

Everything about him is undergoing a transformation.

About two and a half hours later, Su Wen felt that he had developed a certain resistance under this tempering and could withstand some unbalanced fluctuations.

He drew upon the power of ice and fire within the spring water and integrated it into his body.

Just a tiny bit, and Su Wen's pain, which had just eased slightly, instantly reached its previous extreme.

He dared not draw any more power from the spring.

He transferred this power into his Martial Soul Space.

Within the Martial Soul Space, as this power surged in, it immediately began to be destroyed by the extreme ice and fire aura, and Su Wen's Martial Soul was also eroded.

However, the medicinal power of the two immortal herbs instantly repaired the damage caused by the erosion.

At the same time, the martial spirit is also undergoing a gradual transformation.

Two and a half hours later.

Su Wenfu was in the center of the spring, his whole body immersed in the water. He opened his eyes and felt no pain.

His complexion no longer showed the alternating pattern of red and blue.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo was shocked, then revealed an expression of admiration.

"Xiao Wen, you've proven the proper use of these two precious herbs with your own actions. You've demonstrated the correct way to use them."

These two highly toxic substances can be used together, and with the help of the external environment, the medicinal effects can be absorbed.

As for the effect?

Judging from the fact that Su Wen is now soaking in the spring water without feeling any pain, the effect must be extraordinary.

Su Wen leaped out of the spring and landed on the ground outside the spring. The spring water he brought with him fell to the ground, instantly freezing one half of the ground and scorching the other half.

"Grandpa Dugu, I have fulfilled my mission."

"How is it? How's the result?"

Seeing Dugu Bo's anxious look, Su Wen smiled and summoned his martial spirit.

As his martial spirit was released, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) began to change.

The aura of ice and fire swirled around his martial soul. Originally, it was just a mixture of purple and rock patterns, but now it was mostly covered by magnificent blue and red patterns.

Overall, Su Wen's current martial soul gives people the feeling of the Book of Ice and Fire.

"It should be considered a top-tier martial soul," Dugu Bo said.

Su Wen nodded, acknowledging this.

Without the transformation by these two immortal herbs, it would probably take him ten thousand years to successfully absorb the fourth ring of his martial soul and reach the top level.

At the same time, his soul power has now reached level thirty-five.

After absorbing the third soul ring, Su Wen's soul power directly broke through to level 32. In the previous three months, he had leveled up twice, and now, under the impact of the spring water and the medicine, he has leveled up again.

Unfortunately, the power of the two immortal herbs is only suitable for body tempering, and its effect on Su Wen's soul power is not that significant. In addition, in order to make his martial soul transformation more complete, Su Wen dared not waste any of the medicinal power. So far, he has only completed the breakthrough to level thirty-five with the stimulation of ice and fire power.

Level 35

Su Wen pondered his current circumstances and calculated the time it would take to break through to level 40.

"It should be a little over a year before Tang San leaves Notting City. I should reach level 40 within a year, obtain my fourth spirit ring, and then return to Notting City to pick up Grandpa Jerry in Crescent Village while searching for the whereabouts of the Blue Silver Emperor."

A soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years—that's an extremely rare item.

Although the flying soul skill seemed useless to Su Wen, the other soul skill was indeed a divine healing skill that could even heal severed limbs.

"It is necessary to consume at least one more herb of immortality."

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Vegetable that Su Wen is currently absorbing are, strictly speaking, only body-refining techniques.

This is not only to accelerate soul power cultivation, but also to ensure that the bottleneck of level 40 will not hinder him or interfere with his plan to break through to level 40 within a year.

"I will cultivate on my own first, and then absorb a magical herb when the time is almost up."

This way, you can time your progress to level 40.

Su Wen continued to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Even Dugu Bo occasionally went out, but Su Wen focused on cultivation.

This place seemed to have become Su Wen's training ground.

The environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is a kind of simulated environment for Su Wen now. In addition, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is rich, and Su Wen's cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds.

In the blink of an eye, ten months have passed.

Su Wen's soul power reached level thirty-nine.

"Without realizing it, I seem to have far surpassed the goals I initially set."

Breaking through level 50 before the Soul Master Tournament seems to be something that's not entirely hopeless.

Su Wen might even exceed expectations.

The future is bright!
