Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 42 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire (Part 2)

Afterwards, beside the Ice and Fire Spring, Mu Yang took off all his clothes except for the last pair of underwear he was wearing and placed them on the shore. He even took off the soul guide storage bracelet he was wearing on his wrist.

He was about to take the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delight before jumping into the Ice and Fire Spring for a bath. However, the extremely cold and hot spring water was not something that ordinary clothes and soul tools could withstand, so he couldn't bring them along when he bathed.

Otherwise, he would have to say goodbye to the little treasure trove in the Soul Guide Storage Bracelet, as well as the many immortal herbs he had just acquired.

"Are you ready?"

Beside Mu Yang, Huo Lie, holding an iron dagger and a jade piece, asked in a deep voice.

"bring it on!"

Mu Yang glanced at the octagonal ice grass on the opposite bank and the fiery apricot blossoms more than ten meters away, and nodded.

Seeing this, Huo Lie's expression hardened. He aimed at the stem of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass on the opposite bank, twisted his wrist, and threw the iron dagger in his hand.

"Whoosh—"

"puff--"

A faint whooshing sound rang out, accompanied by a flash of cold light, and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass fell to the ground, landing on the shore.

In an instant, a chill spread out, and all the herbs growing near the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass were covered with a thin layer of white frost.

"Whoosh—"

Huo Lie flung out the jade piece in his hand again, slicing down Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu.

The next second, the scorching heat spread, and the herbs growing near the Fiery Apricot Blossom immediately withered under the heat.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Lie looked at the eight-cornered ice grass that had been cut down earlier. His soul power surged in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the eight-cornered ice grass that had fallen to the ground on the opposite bank rose into the air. Under Huo Lie's control of his soul power, it flew over the ice and fire spring and landed on Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu.

The moment the two celestial herbs came into contact, a faint red glow appeared on the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Fiery Apricot.

Unlike other divine herbs, the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Grass contain strong ice and fire toxins and cannot be taken normally.

Although the two medicinal herbs have different properties and contain potent poison, they complement each other.

After being harvested using iron and jade tools and then intermingled, the two celestial herbs will be restrained by each other's aura and will no longer be simply highly poisonous herbs.

However, similarly, their effects will completely disappear after ten breaths of interaction. Once this time is missed, the medicinal effects of these two celestial herbs will be rapidly lost, becoming mere ornaments that are only good for show and not for practical use.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Yang immediately stepped forward, picked up the two immortal herbs, and stuffed them into his mouth as if swallowing dates whole.

The two immortal herbs, one ice and one fire, have opposing and clashing attributes. However, after they restrain each other, they are no longer as domineering as before. The moment they enter the mouth, they turn into saliva and go down the throat, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.

Once the medicinal herb entered the stomach, its powerful effects quickly began to take hold.

Before Mu Yang could savor the taste of the two divine herbs, his body trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of icy blue light rose from beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body had turned completely blue.

Then, another layer of red light appeared, and Mu Yang looked like a freshly cooked shrimp.

The alternation of blue and red light looked extremely eerie, but this simple alternation process almost made Mu Yang unable to withstand it.

In Mu Yang's mind, the contrast between ice and fire is a synonym for "refreshing," and most men like it.

But at this moment, Mu Yang didn't think so. This was not "comfort" at all; it was clearly enduring extreme torture!

Fortunately, Mu Yang himself possessed strong soul power, and the "Taiyin Refining Spirit" mental cultivation technique was not cultivated for nothing. In addition to his considerable mental power, his willpower had also improved significantly, allowing him to withstand the pressure for the time being.

While he still had some control over his body, Mu Yang circulated the "Sun Body Refining Technique" to guide the energy of the immortal herbs within his body to temper it, while simultaneously controlling his body to stagger forward to the edge of the spring.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well lies just ahead. If he takes another half step, he will fall into the well.

Soon, he realized that the effects of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb were beginning to take full effect, and the impact of the ice and fire energy in his body was becoming more violent and intense. Without hesitation, Mu Yang leaned forward and fell towards the confluence of the extremely cold Yin Spring and the extremely hot Yang Spring.

"Thump—"

Red and white water splashed up as Mu Yang plunged headfirst into the Ice and Fire Spring.

Taking the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Dew, and then jumping into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye for a bath, also requires careful timing.

If one jumps into the spring before the medicinal herbs have fully exerted their effects, it's not about "refining one's body through ice and fire," but rather suicide.

The extreme cold and heat of the spring water, which even a titled Douluo could hardly withstand, could take the life of this two-ring Great Soul Master in an instant, leaving not even a trace of his bones.

However, if the effects of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb were to fully materialize, and he were unable to withstand the initial impact of its immense medicinal power, fainting directly on the shore and failing to jump into the Ice and Fire Spring in time, then he would also have to give up.

After all, without the suppression of the Ice and Fire Spring, he absolutely could not withstand the violent ice and fire energy of the two immortal herbs on his own.

Even before arriving at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Mu Yang had anticipated that he would suffer a lot, but now it seems that he had underestimated it.

Although the ice and fire energies attached to the two immortal herbs had been neutralized beforehand, they began to stir wildly after entering his body.

Compared to the soul power within Mu Yang's own body, the medicinal power contained in the immortal herbs was immense, not to mention the energy impact unleashed by the clash between ice and fire, which was something Mu Yang simply could not resist.

Shortly after falling into the Ice and Fire Spring, Mu Yang fell into a coma and gradually sank below the surface of the water.

However, what Mu Yang didn't know was that, for some reason, after he fell into a coma, the "Sun Body Refinement" did not stop operating, and continued to guide the vast ice and fire energy within his body to temper his body.

Moreover, this ice and fire energy is different from simple soul power. It can not only temper the body, but also contains rich vitality. While tempering and strengthening the whole body, it also nourishes it, so that Mu Yang will not suffer the harm of only tempering without nourishing.

At this moment, Mu Yang's figure was swallowed up by the Ice and Fire Spring, but Huo Lie on the shore breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing else to it. Although Mu Yang sank below the surface of the water, Huo Lie could clearly see that the extremely cold and hot spring water, which even a Title Douluo would find difficult to withstand, did not cause any harm to Mu Yang.

"As expected, His Majesty the Great God's arrangements are bound to be flawless; I, a mere mortal, was simply ignorant."

Huo Lie couldn't help but think to himself.
