Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 198 Second Visit to the Hot Pot

"Old Master Mu, is there any hope for Xiao Tao?"

"Yes, but it's almost impossible, unless we can find a rare and precious herb that can transform her into pure, ultimate fire, or someone with an ultimate ice martial soul who can harmonize with her. Sigh—."

In the underground chamber of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, Mu En shook his head as he looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was bound to an ice bed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to save Ma Xiaotao, but compared to Bei Bei, who was destined to become a Limit Douluo, she wasn't of much value in protecting Shrek Academy's future.

If this child's personality were even half as good as Beibei's, he might have considered replacing the celestial plant he gave Beibei with one that could have saved her.

"teacher-"

"Never mind, at least with us around, this world will be one less powerful evil spirit master, right? Who knows what the future holds? Maybe someone lucky enough will appear in the academy to save her?"

Pushing the wheelchair, Mu En left Yan Shaozhe in the secret room and left alone.

He didn't say much, nor did he mention the previous events, which already showed his attitude: for the future of the academy, many things could be given up or discussed.

Meanwhile, just as Yan Shaozhe was feeling sad for his student, Ning Wuque, after a few days of rest, took Ning Tianwufeng with him and once again visited his loyal hot pot restaurant aboard the Gu Long brand space train.

"Where am I? And there's a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

"Huh?! Another human here? Oh well, what do you want this time?"

Swaying slightly, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was curious about why there was an extra human, but she didn't investigate further. Instead, she looked directly at Ning Wuque.

Anyway, one more or one less won't change their fate of being ruined by this human. Didn't you see that the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot are depressed? Living in a cage where they might die tomorrow, it's no wonder they're depressed.

"Earth Dragon Golden Melon, could you please tell her how to use that thing? That's all I need. Great-grandfather, could you please control those two soul beasts? I'm about to begin my body tempering."

Ignoring Wu Feng, who was acting like a curious child, she had read fewer books than Ning Wuque had rested, and was nodding in surprise as Ning Tian explained.

After giving the Fragrant Silk Fairy a word of advice, Ning Wuque saw the ancient dragon control the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass with a wave of its hand, but they were not the main subjects of this body tempering.

In the original story, the Ice and Fire Refining Body was achieved by absorbing the medicinal power of these two substances. However, the actual Ice and Fire Refining Body still requires the Mandarin Duck Algae Pool. Although it cannot achieve the level of being impervious to water and fire or poison, it is still a powerful body-refining method.

Of course, Ning Wuque would not be foolish enough to walk in and die. Generally speaking, even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to take a bath in this hot pot, and if the pot's properties are poisonous, it would be fatal if touched or soaked in.

He has other methods!

"Great-grandfather, if I can't hold on any longer, I will ask you for help. You don't need to worry."

"Um."

Gu Long nodded to indicate that he understood.

Thus, Ning Wuque slowly walked towards a large chrysanthemum with purple outer petals and golden stamens, its whole flower seemingly forming a single, harmonious whole.

This is one of his targets on this trip: the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a divine herb suitable for internal cultivation, which has the ability to circulate qi in the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, and can be consumed to forge an indestructible body.

After taking the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Ning Wuque walked step by step to the pool of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. As soon as he got close, he could feel a strong force of ice and fire constantly tempering his body.

He couldn't believe how exhilarating it would be to jump in like that; he was afraid he'd die from the pleasure.

"Hmm, the taste is so-so. Next up are you guys."

Following the instructions, Ning Wuque first ate the stamen of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, then swallowed the petals whole. He casually tossed the root into the fire pool, where it turned to ashes and vanished before he could even get close.

Instantly, Ning Wuque felt a peculiar medicinal power flowing through his limbs and bones, expanding his meridians and strengthening his blood vessels, and so on.

Without rushing to refine it, Ning Wuque first took off his clothes, leaving only his pants, and took out a warm jade box and a cold jade box from his pocket. After opening them, he took out the two major medicines inside.

Precious plant material: Mystic Ice Grass and Blazing Fireweed.

These are the two great medicinal herbs that Ning Wuque prepared to refine his golden body with ice and fire. One of them is from the same source as the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and the other is from the same source as the Blazing Apricot. After they grow up, they will be immortal plants, and neither of them contains any poison.

The temperature inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was too extreme, and Ning Wuque had no cultivation method to harmonize it, so he could only use these two powerful herbs to refine his body in a rather simple and crude way, letting Electrolux control their medicinal power to maintain it on the opposite side.

"Mr. Yi, thank you for your trouble."

"Leave it to me, Wuque boy. Just don't cry out in pain."

"Haha, I'll have to be able to shout it out loud first! Attack! Spirit Rings, explode!"

After swallowing a large dose of medicine, Ning Wuque's martial soul possessed him and immediately began to explode. His aura rose steadily, and in less than five seconds, he reached the level of a Soul Emperor, and a powerful one at that!

"It's in!"

puff~

Ning Wuque jumped into the water, and his entire body was instantly frozen and hot. Then, Electrolux began to exert his power, manipulating the three kinds of medicinal power in his body to flow in different directions. Just two seconds later, he felt a sense of comfort.

It feels as comfortable as taking a warm bath in this hot pot with two separate broths.

"Phew~"

Taking a deep breath, Ning Wuque swam quickly towards the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, swinging his arms. Only after reaching the center did he sit cross-legged, releasing all his strength and allowing his body to sink naturally to the bottom.

Only after his entire body sank underwater did Electrolux's divine soul complete the fixation of the medicinal power within Ning Wuque's body. After floating out, he directly used his power to remove the Life Gold powder that Ning Wuque had previously held in his mouth, and then used his divine power to begin surgically locating it.

Ning Wuque, who had initially felt somewhat comfortable, began to frown, because he had sensed the effects of the medicine as it began to take hold. The Golden Body was not something that could be easily forged!

At this moment, the tempering of ice and fire was fully unleashed. This time, it wasn't pain, but agony—an agony so intense it felt like dying! Ice seeped into the bone marrow, fire penetrated the internal organs.

Externally, there is water of ice and fire to temper the skin and flesh; internally, there are herbs of ice and fire to temper the viscera, internal organs, and bones!

At the same time, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum also exerted its power, which accelerated the body-refining process, but also caused Ning Wuque to suffer more hardships!

He wanted to scream, but his body had been immobilized by Electrolux's convenient surgery. Although not a drop of blood flowed out, Ning Wuque felt that this was no better than having his flesh torn and his bones crushed.

"If God could give me another chance, and grant me an innate level eight martial soul, I would definitely not choose this path, definitely!"

Screaming inwardly, Ning Wuque's thoughts quickly turned to fighting against the torment.
