Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 161 Absorbing the Immortal Grass
As for learning Tang San's "Ice and Fire Forging Golden Body", it's actually pretty useless.

Besides slightly increasing physical strength, training the Golden Body also grants immunity to ice and fire.

However, the ice and fire here refer to non-ultimate ice, and the difference in their levels certainly cannot be too great.

If Tang San were to face a Title Douluo with fire or ice attributes when he was a Soul Master, he would definitely not be immune.

In Douluo Continent II, Huo Yuhao possessed the ultimate ice, and with the addition of the Ice Emperor's 400,000-year-old soul bone increasing his physique, the ice and fire body tempering was completely useless.

The same applies to Tang Wulin in Douluo Continent III.

Ye Chen doesn't need it either.

Only Tang San, whose foundation is the weakest, needs to use this method to strengthen his physique and increase the fire and ice resistance of the Blue Silver Grass.

Without immunity to ice and fire, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would be practically useless, instantly dying if he encountered a fire-attribute soul master, making it impossible to fight.

……

Ye Chen found a secluded corner and began to absorb the immortal herb.

The immortal herb he intended to absorb was naturally the "ice glue" produced by the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

To consume immortal herbs, one must consume those of the same type of martial spirit to maximize absorption.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass seemed to be terrified and handed over all its ice gel. Moreover, this was produced by an Eight-Cornered Ice Grass with a cultivation of 100,000 years, and its effects were much stronger than those of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass that Tang San had taken back then.

Moreover, when Tang San consumed the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, he only developed a golden body and gained fire and ice immunity; his cultivation level did not improve much.

The main problem is that Tang San's attributes don't match, so he can't absorb the real medicinal power and can only use it to improve his physique.

Ye Chen's attributes are compatible with the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, allowing him to fully absorb it, which can naturally be used to improve his cultivation.

Ye Chen divided the "ice gelatin" into 10 portions. He took 9 portions for himself and used the remaining portion to help Ling Luochen evolve into the ultimate ice.

Ling Luochen's martial soul is "ice," which is actually very close to the ultimate ice; it only needs a catalyst.

One serving should be more than enough for her, and if there is an opportunity in the future, she can take another serving of other herbal remedies.

Of course, if one serving isn't enough, you can come back and harvest some more Eight-Cornered Ice Grass when you have time. After all, the original Eight-Cornered Ice Grass is still here, so you can just pick a few leaves or squeeze out some medicinal juice.

Ye Chen divided the ice gelatin into portions, and then slowly dispersed the spiritual energy that enveloped the ice gelatin.

"call--"

In an instant, an extreme chill emanated, almost freezing the air.

However, Ye Chen didn't care at all. He grabbed a lump of ice gel and stuffed it into his mouth like he was eating jelly.

"Gudong~"

Swallow in one bite.

The ice jelly was icy cold and had a slightly sweet taste, but Ye Chen ate it too quickly and didn't taste any other flavors.

Soon, an extreme chill filled Ye Chen's body, slowly increasing his soul power.

Ye Chen's physique is extremely strong, so he doesn't need to circulate his soul power to digest it. For him, it's just like eating a particularly nourishing natural treasure.

If a non-ice attribute Soul Master ingests "Ice Glue," they will be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, shattering into countless pieces with the slightest touch...

Ice-attribute Soul Masters must be careful when consuming "Ice Glue"; they cannot swallow it all at once and must absorb it over several days.

But since Ye Chen is the ultimate ice being, he doesn't need to hold back so much; he can just go all out.

To be precise, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is merely a herb that grows on the corpse of the Ice Dragon King. Ye Chen's, however, is already very close to the Ice Dragon King's original form; his ultimate ice attribute might even be stronger than the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass…

As Ye Chen pondered, he quickly absorbed the medicinal effects.

Ye Chen's cultivation level was also increasing rapidly at a visible speed.

Level 63!
Level 64!
Level 65!
As expected of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, one of the most powerful immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it directly boosted Ye Chen's cultivation by a full 3 levels!
The Shrek Seven Devils gained six, seven, or eight levels after consuming the immortal herb, and their cultivation level was only around level thirty.

Ye Chen's cultivation level increased by sixty levels, which is at least ten times higher than Ye Chen's.

"Ye Chen, is the ice jelly delicious? How does it taste? Can I have a taste?" Seeing that Ye Chen had finished his cultivation, Bing Di suddenly appeared from behind Ye Chen, looking at him expectantly.

She was so focused on showing off when she got the ice gel that she forgot to sneak a taste. Now that she saw how much Ye Chen improved after eating it, she wanted to try it herself.

At this moment, the extreme cold energy within Hyotei's body had dissipated, and she had returned to her original form as Little Hyotei, small and adorable like an elf.

"It doesn't taste like much, and you can't cultivate anyway, it's a waste to give it to you." Ye Chen reached out and lightly flicked Hyotei's head, somewhat speechless.

Although Hyotei can eat and drink, all of this will be digested into energy. In her current state, she does not need to excrete, so she is naturally unable to cultivate.

It simply has the ability to condense a human body.

Yes, it's usable, and the feel is almost identical to that of a real person. For that alone, the system deserves a five-star rating.

"Hmph, you just want to eat it all by yourself."

Hyotei covered her head and pouted, clearly not believing it.

"Alright, alright, we've taken almost everything here. It's time to leave." Ye Chen stood up and stretched lightly.

As Ye Chen stood up, he noticed that most of the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well trembled slightly.

Each of them huddled together, their flower buds tightly closed, as if afraid that Ye Chen would pluck their wool again.

"Alright, I'm not some heinous criminal, why are you so afraid of me?" Ye Chen glanced at the few immortal herbs and said speechlessly.

"Hmph, do you even believe what you're saying?"

The fragrant and elegant fairy flower bud twitched, muttered something under its breath, its tone full of resentment.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen instantly appeared beside the Fragrant Silk Immortal, grabbed its thick stem, and said in an unfriendly tone, "What did you just say?"

Fragrant and exquisite fairy products: ...

"No... I didn't say anything... You misheard... Hmm... You must have misheard... You are the kindest human being I have ever met..." Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin immediately cowered, her body going weak.

Ye Chen held its life in his hands.

With the opponent's strength, it would break on the spot with just a little force, and would be seriously injured at the very least...

"Yes, that's a good girl. Don't worry, I'll definitely come to see you again if I have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The immortal herbs here are all high-quality items, and they are already plant-type soul beasts. Whether you try to trick them into taking human form or turn them into soul spirits, it's a great option.

They could all become his capable assistants in the future.

After Ye Chen surveyed the area and found that there was nothing missing, he turned and left with Ice Emperor.
