Chapter 11 Tempering the Golden Body with Ice and Fire
"Hui'er, you're wrong."
Yang Wudi interrupted his grandson, his large hand landing on Yang Hui's shoulder, his eyes resolute.
"My grandfather spent his whole life repairing guns, pursuing the 'ultimate'."
"But the word 'ultimate' has also locked my own heart. I'm stuck at level 82 now, not because I lack external resources or soul power, but because my heart is still lacking a bit of 'ultimate'."
Yang Wudi turned around and said earnestly:
"These two immortal herbs are spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, extremely cold and extremely hot, representing the extremes of yin and yang."
"I can break through my cultivation level after taking it, but I can't get past the hurdle in my heart."
"But……"
"No buts." Yang Wudi looked at Yang Hui with piercing eyes. "Hui'er, you are different."
"Your talent is born to break the rules."
Yang Wudi's voice trembled, carrying an indescribable anticipation.
"Your future is far broader than mine. Your intent with the gun is sharper than mine. Only you in this world can become another legend ten thousand years from now!"
I am not greedy.
Yang Wudi took a deep breath. "In this life, I'm already content with just achieving a title. As for the legendary level 100 godhood and the supreme divine realm... Grandpa will never be able to go there."
He turned sharply and looked directly at his grandson, his eyes shining with an astonishing light:
"But you can! Hui'er, Grandpa wants you to take them! So that you can take Grandpa's place, see different scenery, and see if the realm of gods really exists!"
Yang Hui looked at the almost frantic love and expectation in his grandfather's eyes, and his own eyes reddened slightly.
Elders plan far ahead for their descendants and ask for nothing in return.
It's all because of... fulfillment.
To ensure the future of his grandson.
"grandfather……"
Yang Hui's voice choked with emotion as he nodded heavily. "I promise you! I will not let you down. I will make the Soul-Breaking Spear the strongest spear on the Douluo Continent!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Yang Wudi said "good" three times in a row, his eyes reddening.
"Since that's the case, let's begin! Before Dugu Bo returns, swallow this creation of heaven and earth!"
As Yang Wudi spoke, he channeled his soul power, fixing his gaze on both sides of the spring.
On the left, there is a pure white jade-like fairy herb, shaped like an eight-pointed ice crystal, exuding an extremely cold aura. It is the Eight-Pointed Mystic Ice Grass!
On the right, there is a fiery red fairy herb, its flower heart like a burning apricot, radiating intense heat—it is the Fiery Apricot!
The effects of these two medicinal herbs were briefly mentioned in Yang Wudi's toxicology classic.
However, after listening to Hui'er's detailed explanation, he already had a relatively safe plan on how to refine efficiently.
Eight-cornered ice grass, an extremely cold substance, can freeze blood vessels, yet it can also reshape meridians, granting it ultimate ice resistance and resilience.
The fiery apricot blossom, a creature of extreme heat, can burn everything in its path, yet it can also temper one's bones and muscles, granting ultimate fire resistance and explosive power.
If an ordinary person were to take even one dose, they would undoubtedly die.
If taken together, the attack of ice and fire would instantly cause the body to explode and die. Only in the spring water of the Yin-Yang duality can there be a chance for Yin and Yang to be harmonized!
As the saying goes, all things in the universe are mutually generative and mutually destructive.
The answer is right in front of you!
"Hui'er, heed my command!"
Yang Wudi took a deep breath and moved like lightning, instantly appearing on either side of the spring.
He used both hands simultaneously, his fingertips radiating soul power, but instead of directly touching the immortal herb, he skillfully broke its roots.
"catch!"
Two immortal herbs rose from the ground, carrying a terrifying aura of both ice and fire, and flew towards Yang Hui.
Yang Hui dared not delay, and with a deep breath, he swallowed the two orbs of ice and fire directly into his stomach.
"Jump!"
Yang Wudi roared.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Hui leaped into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"boom--!"
The moment Yang Hui entered the water, the spring water, which had been clearly divided, suddenly boiled!
Half of the spring water froze instantly, and the other half vaporized instantly!
Terrifying ice and fire energies raged wildly within Yang Hui's body.
The chilling aura of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass attempted to freeze his heart, while the fiery apricot blossoms' heat tried to burn away his meridians.
"hiss!"
Yang Hui let out a muffled groan, and his skin instantly turned a strange half-red and half-blue, as if it were about to explode.
"Hui'er! Guard your mind! Use your gunmanship to control them!"
Yang Wudi stood on the shore, and the Soul-Shattering Spear plunged straight into the ground.
An overwhelming and domineering spear intent soared into the sky, transforming into an invisible barrier that locked down the activity within the spring, preventing even a trace of its aura from leaking out and isolating it from all external interference.
A body tempered by ice and fire!
The only way to get through this process is to tough it out!
Yang Hui gritted his teeth and forced himself to regain his senses amidst the excruciating pain.
"Fight...fight!"
He roared inwardly.
The soul power within his body circulated wildly, combined with the compression characteristics of his talent [Spear Breaks All Laws] and his second soul skill [Explosion], forcibly compressing and guiding the violent medicinal power.
Ice and fire collide and merge in his veins.
The body, which should have exploded, miraculously achieved a delicate balance under the suppression of the martial soul talent.
The cold tempers the bone marrow, the heat hammers the flesh, over and over again, the skin constantly cracks and regenerates.
And in front of Yang Hui.
The martial spirit emerged on its own, and the pitch-black Soul-Breaking Spear also underwent a transformation, becoming more substantial and majestic, and its overall color changed to dark gold.
[Ding! Extreme energy tempering detected!]
[All attributes greatly increased! Strength +150%, Penetration +150%, Defense +130%!]
[The Soul Skills "Accumulate Power" and "Explode" are empowered by the laws, doubling their effects!]
Three days and nights.
Within the spring, the previously raging vortex of ice and fire gradually subsided.
A figure slowly rose from the water.
Yang Hui opened his eyes. His left eye was as blue as ice, and his right eye was as red as fire. Then the light faded and returned to its original black color, but deep in his eyes, there was a chilling sharpness.
His clothes had long since turned to ashes, and his exposed body, though seemingly thin, contained explosive power.
Every inch of her skin shimmered with a subtle glow, like a jade statue.
"grandfather."
Yang Hui spoke, his voice clear and bright, radiating confidence and arrogance.
Yang Wudi withdrew his martial spirit, quickly walked to the spring, and used his soul power to lift Yang Hui up, then draped a dark yellow robe over him again.
"It's alright, it's alright!"
Yang Wudi muttered to himself.
While the herb possesses extraordinary medicinal effects, the risks of consuming it are also extraordinary; a slight mishap could lead to death.
He didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights. Even when Dugu Bo returned, he told him to wait outside the valley so as not to interrupt his grandson's transformation process.
Now that he saw his grandson was safe and sound, he finally felt relieved.
It should be understood that the danger of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is no less than, and may even be much greater than, facing a top-tier titled expert.
"Grandpa, I'm fine! And my soul power is already level 28!"
Yang Hui smiled, looking relieved.
He has already obtained the most important opportunity in the original story, and now he needs to focus on cultivation to improve his soul power!
Feeling the surging power within him, he unconsciously gripped the Soul-Shattering Spear tightly in his hand.
"Grandpa, how long did I stay in the spring?" Yang Hui asked.
"Three days and three nights," Yang Wudi replied truthfully.
"That Senior Dugu?"
"He's already been here, but I persuaded him to leave. Now we'll try the antidote he mentioned."
Yang Wudi replied.
"Okay." Yang Hui nodded.
The so-called method of detoxification naturally involves using his own essence and blood as a guide to refine a medicinal pill that removes toxins from Dugu Bo's body.
In the original novel, Tang San used this method to spend three whole months gradually removing the deeply ingrained Jade Phosphorous Serpent King Poison from Dugu Bo's body and rebuilding his meridians.
However, there was also the reason that Tang San deliberately slowed down the progress. At the normal pace, it would have been eradicated in a month at most.
"Hui'er, although you have undergone a complete transformation, the ice and fire energies within you have not yet fully settled. Leaving prematurely would cause your foundation to become unstable. For the next month, you should cultivate by the spring and use this precious place to thoroughly refine this power."
Yang Wudi's eyes were full of approval.
He then accepted the three drops of blood essence that Yang Hui handed over.
As these three drops of essence blood were extracted, Yang Hui's face turned pale, and his level 28 soul power showed signs of decline.
However, this is all something I should do; it's only natural to be grateful and repay kindness.
