Chapter 29: This Is the True Ice and Fire Body Tempering

After landing, Lingxu took a deep breath, sensing the difference from the outside world.

This place is indeed not suitable for ordinary Spirit Masters to stay for long; it is best to undergo Ice and Fire Body Tempering first.

He walked a few steps to the giant rock beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; one blue and one red were clearly demarcated, and the power of ice and fire were both at an excellent equilibrium point.

Lingxu looked left and right, discovering the two most special medicinal herbs on either side.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate!

It was a pity that there was only one of each of these two Immortal Grade Herbs, unlike other Immortal Grade Herbs, which existed in pairs or even threes.

According to the records on rare medicinal herbs, these two herbs had been mature for some time and had reached the level where they could be consumed.

After thinking it over, Lingxu decided to perform the Ice and Fire Body Tempering first, and then collect these herbs.

First was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass; Lingxu circulated his soul power throughout his body and approached it rapidly.

The extreme cold temperature began to erode Lingxu's body.

Just as the Herb Compendium said, picking this Immortal Grade Herb itself carried a certain degree of danger.

Even Lingxu was no exception; he circulated the Ningyuan Technique.

Upon reaching it, Lingxu immediately employed the technique for harvesting medicinal herbs.

Lingxu had practiced this technique no fewer than ten thousand times and was extremely proficient.

Moreover, his speed was incredibly fast; in just two or three seconds, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was plucked by him and placed into the system.

Here, one had to utilize the system's bug; things stored inside could be perfectly preserved, even better than the preservation methods in the Herb Compendium.

After successfully harvesting it, Lingxu quickly arrived at the central area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He needed to recover his frozen body and did not need to rush to take the Blazing Apricot Delicate first.

After resting for a while and getting his body adjusted, Lingxu entered the extreme Yang side again to harvest the Blazing Apricot Delicate.

With the experience from the first time, Lingxu's actions were even faster.

It was like pinching out a candle; as long as you are fast enough, you won't get burned, and the more you hesitate, the easier it is to get hurt.

However, when it came to the actual harvesting, it could not be that fast; at the fastest, it still required two or three seconds.

Lingxu could still endure this amount of time.

He quickly stored the Blazing Apricot Delicate into the System Space and rushed out of the extreme Yang area at his fastest speed again.

Despite this, Lingxu's entire body was scorching hot.

It was as if he had been put into an oven.

Fortunately, Lingxu harvested it fast enough; although it was very hot, he was not injured.

And Lingxu's special technique for harvesting medicinal herbs allowed him to retain the essence within the two Immortal Grade Herbs, which was not something comparable to Tang San's method.

Then, besides these two Immortal Grade Herbs, it was best to add two auxiliary medicines for the Ice and Fire Body Tempering.

According to the Herb Compendium, within a hundred-meter radius of where these two herbs grow, there must be herbs that can assist them; adding these two herbs could increase the effect of the Ice and Fire Body Tempering by 20%.

Besides this 20% increase, taking these two types of herbs once every month could accelerate the absorption of the medicinal effects within the body.

Lingxu took out the Herb Compendium book and searched while reading.

These two herbs were very inconspicuous.

They were very small in size, with the part growing above ground being at most two centimeters long.

After searching for about an hour, Lingxu collected twenty of each.

These two herbs had no effect when placed alone, just like ordinary grass; they could only exert their efficacy when consuming these two Immortal Grade Herbs.

It could be said that these two herbs were born for this Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate.

After preparing, Lingxu came before the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Following the procedure, Lingxu took off all the clothes on his body and put them into the System Space.

There was no other way; even if he didn't take them off, the extreme Yang and extreme Yin spring water would destroy the clothes.

After preparing, Lingxu first ate the two auxiliary medicines.

Finally, he took out the harvested Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate.

Without any hesitation, Lingxu swallowed them in one gulp.

Actually, there were better ways to use the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate.

That would be to refine them into pills, but Lingxu did not know how to refine pills at all.

Moreover, pill refining was not one hundred percent successful, and since there was only one of each of the two Immortal Grade Herbs, they could not be used for refining into pills at all.

After consuming the two Immortal Grade Herbs, it was only a few breaths of time before the medicinal effects took hold.

Lingxu's body switched back and forth between being icy cold and scorching hot.

Just when he was about to be unable to bear it, Lingxu leaped down and jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with a splash.

After entering, Lingxu felt comfortable in an instant.

He placed half of his body on the side of the Yang spring and soaked the other half in the Yin spring.

Only in this way could he maintain balance; if his whole body were in one type of spring water, that would truly be courting death.

When his body seemed to reach a certain balance, Lingxu began to circulate the Ningyuan Technique to cultivate and absorb the medicinal power of the two Immortal Grade Herbs in his body.

In this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lingxu did not know how much time had passed.

When he woke up, there was no more agitation of the Ice Fire power in his body.

Everything had reached a perfect balance; at this time, he could swim in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without any danger.

He sensed his own body and soul power.

His body had improved significantly in all aspects compared to before.

Especially this special constitution obtained from the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, being immune to water and fire, this was the most important thing.

Besides this, Lingxu's soul power had also successfully increased from level thirty-six to level forty.

With the two auxiliary medicines added to perfectly preserve the essence of the Immortal Grade Herb, compared to the effect of Tang San's Ice Fire Body Tempering, it was truly as good as it could possibly be.

Lingxu remembered that it took Tang San half a year after his level 34 Ice Fire Body Tempering to reach level 37.

Level 40; Lingxu did not believe this was his limit.

Only by truly absorbing a Spirit Ring could he fully know how much this Ice Fire Body Tempering had improved him.

Aside from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lingxu put on his clothes, only to discover that they seemed a tiny bit shorter than before.

Could this Ice Fire Body Tempering actually make one grow taller?

"Next, it is time for me to collect medicinal herbs!" Lingxu said indifferently.

"However, before collecting, I must plant the seeds of this Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate," Lingxu said indifferently.

This time, Lingxu went to find the places where the two medicinal herbs grew again.

Although Lingxu still felt some of that cold and heat, it no longer caused any harm to his body.

He planted the seeds on both sides and then protected the original rhizomes; in this way, it was possible to have one more of such medicinal herbs.

And this was the benefit of the method Lingxu used to pick the medicinal herbs.

While picking, Lingxu would leave a trace of soul power sealed at the broken end to prevent it from losing its medicinal efficacy and withering.

It only needed to wait a day or two for the broken end to slowly heal.

Under such an operation, there was a 70% chance for a rare medicinal herb to sprout another identical one from the rhizome.

One Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb could potentially become two in the future.

Such a method, in this world, was something no one could perform except for Lingxu.
