Chapter 61: Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, Major Evolution of External Soul Bones
After consuming the immortal pill refined from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, one must immediately jump into the spring at the intersection of Ice and Fire in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Otherwise, the body cannot withstand the rampaging ice and fire energy.
Circulating soul power to guide the medicinal power and temper the body within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it can accelerate the fusion of the medicinal power and prevent energy backlash.
After Yun Yuan jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Bibi Dong by the spring grew tense even though Yun Yuan had already explained the method of absorbing this pill to her beforehand.
"Teacher, will Junior Brother really be alright? This ice and fire spring is something even you don't dare enter."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji gently rubbed Bibi Dong's head and spoke to comfort her.
"Dong'er, you must trust your junior brother. Since he is confident in doing this, all we need to do is relax and wait for him to come up."
The current Qian Xunji held absolute trust in Yun Yuan, not worried that he would joke with his own life. After all, this little disciple cherishes his life greatly.
Within the ice and fire spring, the medicinal power of the immortal pill inside Yun Yuan's body had already begun to take effect. The completely opposite medicinal powers of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot clashed violently within him.
This extreme pain nearly caused Yun Yuan to faint. And this was already the result after neutralizing them with other mild precious herbs.
If he had directly consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, he might have fainted the instant he entered the spring.
Enduring the extreme pain, Yun Yuan began to guide his soul power to refine the medicinal power within his body.
In the original work, Tang San directly fainted in the spring. Although he still forged the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, the tempering of his physique did not reach its maximum potential.
If the medicinal power of these two immortal herbs could be consciously guided for body tempering within the spring, it could greatly enhance a soul master's physique. This was also one of the reasons Yun Yuan refined them into a pill.
Without the balancing effect of the other herbs, he would have fainted the moment he fell into the spring, unable to temper his body at all.
As time passed, the medicinal power within Yun Yuan's body was gradually refined, and his body underwent earth-shaking changes.
His meridians seemed to be tempered by raging fire. All previously narrow and blocked areas were completely opened, and warm currents surged like rivers.
His bones emitted faint sounds, as if layers of jade-like texture were seeping into them, making them increasingly tough and solid.
His blood was cleansed by the medicinal power, shedding its mortal impurities, and faint spiritual light flowed within it.
Under the effect of the immortal pill, Yun Yuan's meridians, bones, and blood all underwent a tremendous transformation.
But that was not all. The external soul bone behind Yun Yuan, the Wind Thunder Wings, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw on his left palm were also continuously changing under the nourishment of the medicinal power and the terrifying energy of the surrounding ice and fire springs.
Yun Yuan could feel that the age of his Wind Thunder Wings and Dark Gold Terror Claw was constantly increasing.
Time flew by in an instant, and a full day passed.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Bibi Dong paced back and forth, her eyes occasionally glancing toward the spring, eagerly awaiting Yun Yuan's emergence.
"Teacher, is Junior Brother really alright? It's already been a whole day. Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Bibi Dong's voice was filled with worry. At first, she was only slightly concerned. Since her junior brother was confident, it should have been fine.
But as time passed and an entire day went by without Yun Yuan coming out, her anxiety grew stronger.
"Dong'er, it's fine. Perhaps Xiao Yuan is still refining the medicinal power in his body."
Qian Xunji spoke slowly.
Although he said so, the occasional glances he cast toward the spring revealed that he was not as calm as his words suggested.
Just as the two were worried,
A head suddenly emerged from the spring at the intersection of Ice and Fire in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The two looked over and saw that it was Yun Yuan, and they could not help but feel delighted.
"Junior Brother, hurry up and come out. Why are you still soaking in such a dangerous spring?"
At this moment, Yun Yuan's clothes below his head had already been dissolved by the ice and fire spring water. His entire body was bare, so how could he dare come out now?
"Um, Teacher, please take out a set of clothes for me from my storage soul tool."
"And Senior Sister, please turn around first. My clothes have all been dissolved by this spring. I'll come up and change first."
Hearing Yun Yuan's reply, Bibi Dong glanced toward the spring, but it seemed she could not see anything.
Then she followed his instructions and turned around, waiting for him to finish changing.
After a while, once Yun Yuan had successfully changed his clothes, he finally relaxed and explained the situation to Bibi Dong, signaling that they could speak normally again.
"Junior Brother, you finally came up. I was worried to death this whole day."
Coming to Yun Yuan's side, Bibi Dong gave him a big hug. Her voice revealed both excitement and relief.
"Oh right, Junior Brother, what did you gain? Just now, it looked like you were bathing in that ice and fire spring."
Bibi Dong continued asking. That spring, which even Titled Douluo feared, seemed to have no effect on her Junior Brother at all.
Hearing her question, Qian Xunji also turned his gaze toward Yun Yuan, curiosity in his eyes.
Yun Yuan grinned and revealed all his gains.
"Senior Sister, Teacher, this pill mainly has two effects. First, it forges an Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, granting immunity to all ice and fire attribute attacks. Second, it tempers my physique. My current physique is already comparable to that of a Beast Martial Soul Soul King, and my body has reached the level where I can absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring."
"However, there is one drawback. My soul power level hasn't increased much. The improvement mainly comes from the auxiliary herbs in the pill, so the effect isn't significant."
"Besides that, the two external soul bones on my body, the Wind Thunder Wings and Dark Gold Terror Claw, have been nourished. Their age has now reached five thousand years."
"The Wind Thunder Wings grant a greater teleportation range with Wind Thunder Movement, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw's attack power is no weaker than a Soul Emperor going all out."
After consuming the immortal pill, besides enhancing his physique and gaining immunity to ice and fire, his two external soul bones were also nourished. Yun Yuan was very satisfied with this harvest.
After learning of Yun Yuan's gains, Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong were both slightly shocked. Immunity to ice and fire attributes? That was simply heaven-defying. If ice or fire attribute soul masters encountered Yun Yuan in the future, it would be like meeting their natural nemesis.
After carefully pondering Yun Yuan's words, Qian Xunji suddenly looked at him, a trace of concern appearing in his eyes as he asked:
"Xiao Yuan, from what you're saying… could it be that you want to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring as your third soul ring?"
Seeing that Qian Xunji had guessed correctly, Yun Yuan did not hide it and nodded. With the opportunity of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he naturally wanted to attempt absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his third soul ring.
