Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 148: Ice and Fire Alchemy Body
So, now he can only enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to investigate.
The power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is too terrifying. To avoid being hurt, the best way is actually to cultivate an Ice and Fire Alchemy Body. Although the process is a bit painful, once the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body is successfully cultivated, the benefits are obvious.
Of course, because he has the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, according to his plan, entering the Extremely Cold Ice Spring should not be a problem. However, if he wants to enter the Blazing Fire Spring, it will be more troublesome. Even with a soul guidance device, he probably can't withstand it. After all, this is the place where the Water and Fire Dragon King fell.
Therefore, he must practice the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, which not only ensures that he can safely step into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well but also improves his physical fitness, granting him immunity to fire and ice from now on.
Of course, he could also try to let Electrolux take him in, but since there is a chance to cultivate the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, he must pursue it.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao looked at the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot on the side, then said bluntly: "I want to cultivate the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, so I need your help."
Infernal Delicate Apricot was stunned at this moment, subconsciously shrinking its body, and muttered: "Ice and Fire Alchemy Body? Do you even know about this? I have some doubts—when Tang San was practicing the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, you were watching from the side."
"Although I hadn't opened my spiritual wisdom at the beginning, Tang San had told us all those things. Could it be that you are related to Dugu Bo? No, Dugu Bo has been dead for many years. Do you have such a well-informed information channel?"
The Snow Empress on the side said with a slightly cold face: "Whatever Yuhao says, you do it! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
She didn't understand what the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body was, but she knew that after Huo Yuhao gained benefits, she could also benefit. Using Tianmeng's words, everyone was currently a member of Yuhao's God-making Squad, and they should work together to help Huo Yuhao overcome all difficulties.
Infernal Delicate Apricot, who had a bad temper to begin with, was about to retort, but when she saw the indifferent look of the Snow Empress, she was a little scared. She was not qualified to compete with a soul beast of this level, so she said: "Okay, Huo Yuhao, we can help you cultivate the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body."
However, since neither Bajiao nor she wanted to die, they could only contribute part of their bodies to help Huo Yuhao.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass also agreed and said: "Yes, if we only contribute part of our bodies, Jiaojiao and I can recover after some time. Moreover, the difference between taking part of our bodies and the full version is only the amount of medicinal power."
Huo Yuhao thought about it for a moment and felt that this plan should be feasible. Tang San in Douluo Dalu had taken the two great immortal herbs, Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Although Tang San used the full herbs, the age of those herbs was quite low, and their spiritual intelligence had not yet awakened.
The two immortal herbs in front of him were both 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Their cultivation far surpassed the two herbs from 10,000 years ago. Even if only part of their bodies was used, they should still contain more medicinal power than the herbs from a decade ago.
So, he agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass handed over a leaf, and the Infernal Delicate Apricot handed over a petal. Huo Yuhao took them simultaneously according to the method recorded in the original book and then jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Soon, a feeling called pain spread throughout his body.
"Yuhao!" Tianmeng was shocked. It thought to itself, Is this what they call cultivating the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body? It initially thought that he only needed to eat part of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
It didn't know much about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but as a million-year-old soul beast with strong spiritual power, after a brief observation, it concluded that entering was extremely dangerous.
Subconsciously, it quickly flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, ready to rescue Huo Yuhao. At this moment, the Snow Empress acted and directly held Tianmeng back.
Tianmeng was rarely angry: "Snow Empress! What are you doing? Can't you see Yuhao is in danger now? I have to rescue him."
The Snow Empress's expression remained indifferent: "Tianmeng, you need to have confidence in Yuhao. From my observation of him, I know he will never do anything he's not sure of. Moreover, as long as Electrolux is here, Yuhao shouldn't have any problems."
Tianmeng was stunned for a moment, then calmed down. He was anxious just now, which led him to make that move. Although he had honed his wisdom among the Star Dou Great Forest beasts, he had been in a lower position for a long time, so it was normal that he was not as calm as the King of the Extreme North, the Snow Empress in some situations.
He carefully observed Huo Yuhao within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and found that he did not seem injured, only showing a pained expression. This reassured him.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm murmured, "Is this the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body? Judging by the name, it seems to temper his body to be extremely powerful."
After a while, Huo Yuhao completed the cultivation of the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body. He felt that the so-called Blazing Fire Spring did not pose any threat to him now. To him, the Fire Spring was just hotter water, while the Extremely Cold Ice Spring was slightly colder water.
Then he took out a soul guidance device to assist his breathing, covered it with his ice- and fire-immune soul power, and swam toward the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. At Huo Yuhao's call, Electrolux also began to envelop his body with energy.
This was a safer approach, especially since he would face the body of the "God King" later.
After some time, he saw the ice-blue and fiery-red dragon bodies. The two dragon bodies were enormous, undulating like mountains under the water. Huo Yuhao felt the mixture of ice and fire almost simultaneously. Although immune to both, he still experienced some discomfort when facing the bodies of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
After all, these are soul beasts at the level of the God King!
'Next, I should look for dragon pills (inner elixir) and soul bones.' Huo Yuhao quickly set his sights on the Fire Dragon King's body. He took out a special iron shovel soul guidance device and began to dig.
With a clang!
The iron shovel broke.
Huo Yuhao was confused, then remembered that this was the body of a soul beast at the level of the God King. It was normal that he couldn't break through with his soul guidance device. The body of a soul beast is harder than that of a human soul master, especially at the level of a God King.
"It's troublesome—I can't dig it out!" Huo Yuhao looked at the enormous dragon scale and felt a headache coming on. Then he immediately asked for help: "Teacher, based on my divine premonition, this should be the greatest opportunity we can find on this trip."
