Chapter 63 Ice and Fire Body Refinement: How to Properly Use Immortal Herbs?
At the confluence of the ice and fire elements, the flames in the medicine cauldron reflected off the surrounding mountain walls, flickering and leaping menacingly.
Completely focused on the churning flames in the medicine cauldron, Tang Chuan's slightly pale face was covered in beads of sweat, and he looked somewhat weak.
The long hours of alchemy were extremely taxing on his soul and mental strength. In addition, this was Tang Chuan's first time alchemy, so he had little experience. Therefore, he was already feeling quite exhausted.
"Never mind, let's rest for a while."
"After more than a day of experiments, I've been able to use my mental power to initially extract impurities and harmful substances from the medicinal herbs. I can consider it a small success!"
Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Tang Chuan stopped what he was doing. Then, as if all his strength had been drained, he slumped softly onto the cold ground behind him.
He was panting heavily, his chest heaving.
Just then, a figure appeared from afar, stepping through the air.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Tang Chuan.
"Huh? Why are you lying on the ground?" Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Tang Chuan, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Looks like this alchemy has really worn you out."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan quickly propped himself up on his arms, sat up straight, and forced himself to speak:
"Senior Dugu, what brings you here? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Dugu Bo nodded and said seriously:
"I have some urgent business to attend to and need to return to Tiandou City. I've already made arrangements for Yan Yan; she won't wander off. You can stay here and continue refining medicine without worry."
"Hmm." Tang Chuan nodded slightly, then said seriously, "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely finish refining the medicine to regulate your granddaughter's body before you return."
"Yes, I believe you won't let me down."
Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction, then a flash of green light appeared on his body, and he soared into the air, his toes touching the mountain wall, rising like a large bird towards the top of the mountain pass.
Just as he was about to leave the mountain pass, he seemed to remember something, and his voice came clearly: "Kid, remember, don't touch those two hot springs. Even I can't withstand the heat and cold there for long. If you touch them, you'll only die."
Watching Dugu Bo's figure gradually disappear into the mist, Tang Chuan's lips curled into a smile, and he thought to himself:
"That old poisoner is finally gone."
"Now that you're gone, I'm free to do whatever I want with you from now on."
Having thoroughly read the original text, Tang Chuan naturally knew that the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well should not be touched.
But what if one absorbs the Fiery Apricot Blossom and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass? As long as one absorbs these two immortal herbs at the same time, one can enter the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to refine one's body.
In the original novel, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul became impervious to water and fire after absorbing these two immortal herbs and entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to refine his body.
Such an opportunity? How could Tang Chuan possibly let it slip by easily?
He slowly walked to the bank beside the milky white spring at the Eye of Ice and Fire. Instantly, a strong chill swept over him, as if the air itself had been frozen into fine frost crystals.
Amidst wisps of white mist.
Tang Chuan's gaze fell upon the strange herb that stood quietly in the crevice of the rock.
This herb is entirely ice-blue, with eight sharp, blade-like leaves that are as transparent as ice crystals. Each leaf shimmers with a cold light, and a faint blue mist emanates from it, making the surrounding temperature frighteningly low.
It is the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass recorded in the "Immortal Treasure Record"!
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Chuan took a deep breath, then took out a small, gleaming dagger from his pocket, squatted down, and concentrated for a moment.
Immediately, he swiftly and cleanly wielded the dagger.
The roots of the Ice Grass were easily severed from the rock crevice.
A chill immediately spread, and the surrounding herbs were covered with a thin layer of white frost.
After cutting the eight-cornered ice grass, Tang Chuan did not stay where he was or pick it up. Instead, he quickly ran to the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, to the center of the Blazing Yang Spring.
To make his movements even faster, Tang Chuan actually used the flight ability of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, and arrived in front of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu in the blink of an eye.
According to the "Immortal Treasure Record", iron tools should not be used to harvest the Immortal Fiery Apricot, otherwise it may affect its medicinal effects. Therefore, Tang Chuan actually squatted down and stretched out his hands to start digging for the Fiery Apricot with his bare hands.
In just a few moments, his palms were charred and torn open.
Fortunately, he possessed the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.
Soul Bone Skill, Wildfire Cannot Burn It Out, Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life - Activated.
In an instant, his hand was restored to its original state under the continuous blessing of life force.
According to the original text and the records in "The Precious Record of Immortal Herbs", both of these immortal herbs contain potent poisons, but if they are taken at the same time, they can counteract each other's toxicity.
For these two extremely rare and powerful medicinal herbs, refining them before consumption is virtually impossible. With Tang Chuan's current strength, even approaching and interacting with them is difficult enough; how could he possibly rely on refining to remove impurities and harmful substances?
Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to do what Tang San did in the original story: open his mouth and swallow both of these divine herbs at the same time.
Thinking of this, Tang Chuan used both hands simultaneously, and the two Blue Silver Grasses flew out like bolts of lightning, then landed on the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Beauty at the same time.
Just as the Blue Silver Grass bound the two immortal herbs at the front, he exerted lightning-fast strength, pulling both herbs towards his location simultaneously.
Almost the instant the Blue Silver Grass presented the two immortal herbs to him, Tang Chuan suddenly reached out and firmly grasped the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot.
The icy cold and the scorching heat erupted in an instant, as if two completely opposite extreme forces were tearing wildly at his palm.
Even Tang Chuan, who possessed a strong physique, couldn't help but tremble all over at this moment, and a painful twist appeared on his face.
"Let's give it our all!"
With a low growl, Tang Chuan opened his mouth without hesitation and forcefully stuffed the two immortal herbs into his mouth!
In an instant, the potent poison surged through his body like a tidal wave.
Tang Chuan trembled violently, his face instantly turning from bright red to a deep blue, as if burning flames and frozen frost were surging alternately in his blood. The torment of this extreme contrast of heat and cold nearly tore him apart from his body!
"Alternating extreme cold and extreme heat?!"
"It's like experiencing both ice and fire!"
Tang Chuan's pupils contracted slightly, his face turned pale, his body convulsed violently, veins bulged, and he looked as if he were being roasted between fire and ice.
At this moment, he could still barely control his body, so he quickly took a deep breath and then jumped down towards the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire in front of him with a thud.
…………
Time flows like water; from dawn to dusk, it's nothing more than sunrise and sunset.
When Tang Chuan climbed out of the spring water in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, his body had undergone tremendous changes.
Water droplets slid down his upper body. Every muscle on his body seemed to have been forged by raging flames and tempered by freezing ice, with distinct lines and an extremely majestic appearance.
"My physique is clearly stronger than before." Slowly clenching his fist, Tang Chuan suddenly swung it forward, and the air faintly emitted a subtle popping sound.
He could clearly feel that the blood in his body seemed to be more boiling and powerful than before, his meridians were much wider, and the speed of his soul power flow was more than twice as fast as before.
"That's good. In that case, we can choose a higher age limit when absorbing spirit rings in the future."
"I just wonder if the Blue Silver Grass has changed?"
With a thought, he slowly opened his palm, and a strand of blue silver grass quietly emerged from Tang Chuan's palm.
The once clear blue-gold grass blades now had faint dark red and ice blue tinges around their edges, and a subtle red and blue glow shimmered in the center of the blades.
"The Blue Silver Grass seems to have become more resilient, and it has also gained fire resistance and water resistance. In the future, when facing Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy, there is no need to worry about being countered by them."
"As for how Tang San will deal with these two academies, only heaven knows."
"Perhaps he'll be forced to train with the Clear Sky Hammer ahead of schedule!"
Thinking of this, a slight smile crept onto his lips.
"Next..." Turning to look at the cave not far away, Tang Chuan's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "We need to refine some medicine to improve the health of Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo as soon as possible."
He then went to the herb garden next to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and began to pick celestial herbs.
These include many rare and precious medicinal herbs such as Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, Acacia Heartbreak Red, Qiluo Tulip, Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, Longing for Autumn Water Dew, Extraordinary Turtle Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, and Snow Silkworm.
After some research, Tang Chuan felt that giving a whole immortal herb to a specific person, as in the original story, would be a complete waste of resources.
Not to mention that directly consuming it without removing the harmful substances might reduce its effectiveness.
The medicinal effects of a single rare herb are terrifying.
Just like the Qiluo Tulip, the medicinal effect of this immortal plant is that it can enable martial souls to evolve. Users can divide it into several parts and then use it with other immortal plants to refine it into pills.
This not only makes it easier to absorb, but also allows for the combined effects of multiple medications.
Just like the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, it belongs to the neutral celestial herb category. After taking it, it can circulate qi in the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, helping the user to cultivate an indestructible body.
If it is refined into a pill together with the Qiluo Tulip, then the user will very likely be able to evolve their martial soul and cultivate an indestructible body.
If the eight-petaled fairy orchid, with its mild and mellow medicinal properties that can strengthen the body's foundation and remove impurities, is added to it, then the user's cultivation speed can be further improved.
It's somewhat similar to raising your innate soul power level.
I'm asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
