Chapter 168 - 60

Chapter 60: Breakthrough to Spirit Saint!These pills were the yin yang hundred relief pills he had mentioned earlier.Fu Shiyan took out one and handed it to Dugu Bo."Senior, after taking this pill, circulate your power to guide the medicinal strength throughout your body. It can slowly force the accumulated toxins out of your system.""There may be some slight discomfort during this process, which is perfectly normal."After thanking him, Dugu Bo impatiently took the pill. It felt warm and smooth in his hand, and its fragrance filled his nose.He no longer hesitated, found a cave far from the rare medicinal herbs, sat cross-legged, placed the pill in his mouth, and closed his eyes to circulate his power.Fu Shiyan looked at Fu Ze standing by his side, took out three more 'yin yang hundred relief pills', and swallowed them himself."Young Master, what are you doing?"Seeing this, a hint of confusion appeared on Fu Ze's face."A single pill can neutralize a hundred poisons and harmonize Yin and Yang."Fu Shiyan smiled slightly, explaining as he felt the medicinal power begin to dissolve in his stomach."But for the pills I refined, the main ingredients are the two polar Immortal Herbs of ice and fire, and the supplementary medicines are also no ordinary items.""Taking three at once, their accumulated medicinal effect will be enough for me to temper my physique in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, achieving a Body Impervious to Ice and Fire."He turned his gaze toward the spring eye, which was churning with extreme cold and heat, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes."Although consuming the Immortal Herbs directly can achieve a similar effect, it's inevitable that some medicinal power will dissipate, and some essence will settle in the body, requiring slow absorption.""However, by using the method of alchemy, I have condensed all the medicinal power into the pills. The absorption is faster and more complete, and the effect... should be even better."Before he had even finished speaking, he leapt and fell toward the center of the spring where ice and fire converged!"Young Master!"Fu Ze instinctively reached out to stop him, but was halted by a calm spirit power voice transmission from Fu Shiyan."It's fine, I have it under control.""Stay here and protect me, and also keep an eye on Senior Dugu's side."Fu Ze's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Watching Fu Shiyan's figure submerge into the spring water that even made his heart palpitate, he could only lower his hand and clench it into a fist, his eyes filled with deep worry.He then stood guard firmly at the edge of the spring, his eyes fixed on the water's surface without blinking.Time passed slowly.Over at the cave, a dark green poisonous mist began to permeate around Dugu Bo, sizzling and corroding the ground around him into a charred black mess.A look of pain occasionally appeared on his face, but his aura was gradually becoming clear and robust.Several hours later, Dugu Bo let out a long cry and suddenly opened his eyes. They were shining with green light, and his joy was almost overflowing!"Refreshing! Truly refreshing! That marrow-deep cold pain in my body has been reduced by more than half!"He stretched his limbs and felt his whole body relax, his spirit power circulation much smoother than before.He rushed out of the cave impatiently, wanting to find Fu Shiyan to share this joy.However, in the valley, he only saw Fu Ze standing alone by the spring, his expression solemn."Excellency Fu Ze, where is Little Friend Fu?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion, looking around.Fu Ze didn't even turn his head, his gaze still locked on the spring's surface, his voice muffled."The Young Master has entered that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.""What?!!"Dugu Bo turned pale with shock and instantly rushed to the edge of the spring. Looking at the churning hot lava and the extremely cold ice spring, his face went white, and he said anxiously:"Nonsense! Even at my peak, I wouldn't dare to easily step into this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!""How could Little Friend Fu be so reckless!"He paced around in a panic and looked at Fu Ze. "Why didn't you stop him?!"Fu Ze finally turned his head, gave Dugu Bo a deep look, and said firmly, "The Young Master has it under control."Despite his words, his clenched fist and the trace of worry deep in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil.Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but seeing Fu Ze's unquestionable expression and then looking at the silent spring, he could only let out a heavy sigh and wait by the edge with Fu Ze, his heart in turmoil.Two days slowly crawled by in their anxious wait.Just as Dugu Bo could almost no longer resist the urge to risk an investigation, the water in the center of the spring suddenly surged!A figure burst out of the water, bringing a spray of water with him, and landed steadily on the shore.It was Fu Shiyan!His skin was now as lustrous as jade, faintly glowing with a layer of interwoven red and blue, as if the energy of ice and fire were flowing beneath his skin.His originally handsome face seemed to have gained even more spirit.Most shocking were the spirit power fluctuations emanating from his body—he had actually broken through the bottleneck and reached a whole new level!Level seventy! Spirit Saint!Fu Shiyan felt the changes in himself, and a satisfied curve rose at the corners of his mouth.This Body Tempering, with the help of the medicinal power of the extreme ice and fire Immortal Herbs condensed by the three 'yin yang hundred relief pills', not only successfully forged an Ice and Fire Immune Body within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but also used the medicinal effects of the two great Immortal Herbs and other supplementary herbs to break through the Level 69 barrier and step into the realm of a Spirit Saint in one fell swoop!"Young Master!"Fu Ze was the first to rush forward, carefully examining Fu Shiyan. Only after confirming that his aura was stable and he was completely unharmed did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, a look of relief appearing on his face that had been tense for two days.Dugu Bo followed closely behind. Seeing that Fu Shiyan was not only safe and sound but that his spirit power had clearly improved, he said in astonishment:"Little Friend Fu... I never expected you to stay in this well for two days and emerge unscathed with your cultivation even improved. You really are a little monster!"Fu Shiyan had no intention of responding and quickly took out a set of clean clothes from his storage soul tool to change into.He had no interest in being watched by two grown men while in his naked body.Seeing that the two were still filled with concern and curiosity, he explained simply:"The pill effects were excellent, the Body Tempering was smooth, and I luckily broke through."Hearing this and recalling his own changes, Dugu Bo became even more convinced of Fu Shiyan's attainments in alchemy.He rubbed his hands together and spoke somewhat sheepishly:"Little Friend Fu, that... I wonder if you could give me another one of those 'yin yang hundred relief pills'? That child Yan Yan..."Fu Shiyan had expected this and readily took out a bottle of pills, pouring out one and handing it to Dugu Bo."Naturally.""One of these pills is enough to root out the hidden poison dangers within your granddaughter's body and regulate her foundation.""Senior should send it to her as soon as possible."Dugu Bo was overjoyed. He took the pill with both hands, stored it away carefully, and bowed deeply to Fu Shiyan."Great kindness cannot be thanked with words! I shall head to Heaven Dou City immediately!"With that, his figure transformed into a dark green streak of light, and he sped away toward Heaven Dou City, disappearing beyond the valley in an instant.Fu Shiyan smiled slightly as he watched the direction in which Dugu Bo had departed.Subduing this Poison Douluo and taking complete control of this treasure land, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—the plan was progressing steadily.He turned to Fu Ze and instructed,"We should head back as well. Over at Heaven Dou City, Tang San and Xiao Wu still need to be settled.""Furthermore..."A bold idea flashed through his mind.The nine spirit rings he had planned for his Blue Silver Tree Spirit all possessed life and amplification attributes.If he gathered all nine rings in the future and the amplification effects of the nine great spirit rings were stacked, combined with this place where the spiritual essence of heaven and earth converges, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, would it be possible to... artificially accelerate the gestation and growth of Immortal Herbs?
