Having previously refined the ten-thousand-year-old whale resin, the process of absorbing the medicinal power from the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju was incredibly easy for Dai Weisi, almost like cutting through melon and vegetables.
As time passed slowly, Dai Weisi's soul power steadily increased. An hour later, Dai Weisi's soul power had broken through to level fifty, marking his entry into the ranks of a quasi-Soul King.
Three hours later, the medicinal power of the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju had been completely refined, and Dai Weisi's soul power had increased once again. However, due to the lack of a fifth soul ring, the increase could not yet be manifested.
Not only did his soul power increase, but his muscles, veins, dantian, and blood also experienced a significant improvement.
Though he hadn't yet reached the indestructible state of the Vajra Body, his physical strength and overall physical quality were already several times stronger than before.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo had fully absorbed the millennium-grade toxic torso soul bone. He was currently drawing the poison from his body into the soul bone while using the soul bone skill to condense the snake poison into a more potent form.
Not only had his strength vastly surpassed his previous limits, but there were signs that his soul power was on the verge of breaking through to level ninety-two. Despite years of arduous cultivation, Dugu Bo's soul power should have already reached this level. Unfortunately, he had to use his soul power to suppress the poison in his body, which prevented him from breaking through. Now that the snake poison was gradually being transferred into the soul bone and he had absorbed the millennium-grade soul bone, his soul power naturally improved, allowing him to break through.
"Since this old poison master isn't awake yet, I'll continue to consume the immortal herbs!" Dai Weisi said as he looked toward the Ba Jiao Xuan Bing Cao and Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu on either side of the Ice and Fire Eyes.
Although he had already absorbed the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju and his physical strength had greatly improved, he wasn't yet immune to all poisons. If he consumed these two immortal herbs, his physical body would become even stronger, and he would be immune to all toxins.
Even if Dugu Bo's snake poison were extremely potent, it would have no effect on him.
Though consuming the Ba Jiao Xuan Bing Cao and Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu might be less effective now that he had already consumed the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, it would still be better than doing nothing.
Besides, even if the two immortal herbs were wasted, they couldn't be left for the little brat. With his decision made, Dai Weisi plucked the two immortal herbs and swallowed them.
"Ugh..."
As soon as Dai Weisi consumed the herbs, he let out a muffled groan of pain. The opposing energies of yin and yang clashed violently within his body, causing excruciating pain. Sweat beaded on his forehead and dripped down his face.
It felt as though thousands of rats were gnawing and tearing at his internal organs, making it nearly unbearable.
"Good heavens, I didn't expect these two immortal herbs to be so potent..."
With that, he allowed his body to fall, crashing into the water of the Ice and Fire Eyes with a splash. He then sat in meditation, silently refining the medicinal power while absorbing the energies of the extreme cold yin spring and the blazing yang spring.
At first, he thought that jumping into the spring water would alleviate some of the pain. However, to his surprise, the nightmare was just beginning.
In the water, the cold and hot spiritual energies seemed to find an outlet, rushing through Dai Weisi's capillaries, forcing their way into his body. Every pore of his skin expanded, tearing at his flesh.
The sensation was like a girl's first time—except while a girl only experiences this pain once, Dai Weisi was experiencing it millions of times. Every pore of his body seemed to be stretching, with his blood swirling in a boiling and freezing cycle.
Combined with the gnawing feeling in his stomach, the dual torment made the pain nearly unbearable, pushing Dai Weisi to the brink of unconsciousness.
At the time, even the little brat couldn't handle such agony and passed out the moment he jumped into the spring.
But Dai Weisi was different. His age was much greater, his body fully developed, and more importantly, he had consumed the ten-thousand-year whale resin and the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, giving him a physique many times stronger than an ordinary person's.
So he didn't lose consciousness. His mind remained alert, although he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
At this point, all he could do was suppress his thoughts, focusing entirely on the energy of the Ice and Fire Eyes beneath the water.
"The Ice and Fire Eyes were formed from the decaying corpse of the Water Fire Dragon King. There should be dragon bones below, right?
It is said that the Water Fire Dragon King's strength in life was at the level of a God King. Even though it's been millions of years since its death, the dragon bones should still be comparable to the soul bones of fierce beasts," Dai Weisi thought to himself.
An audacious idea suddenly sprang into his mind—what if he could absorb the power of the dragon bones in the Ice and Fire Eyes and gain the power of the two dragon kings? Could it help him break through to the hundredth level and ascend to godhood?
As time passed slowly, perhaps due to the fact that Dai Weisi had consumed the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju earlier and his body had grown stronger, the speed at which he refined the medicinal power increased significantly.
After only two hours, Dai Weisi no longer felt any pain.
To him now, the Cold Yin Spring felt like lukewarm water, and the Hot Yang Spring was just warm water. He could spend a whole day immersed in them without any discomfort.
Instead, the contrasting cold and hot springs seemed to stimulate his circulatory system, speeding up his blood flow and allowing him to better absorb the medicinal power.
"This is Ice and Fire Body Refining, isn't it? My physical strength seems to have increased even more," Dai Weisi said, clenching his fist. After feeling the surging power inside his body, he couldn't help but be thrilled.
Now, his body was immune to all toxins and resistant to both water and fire! Much like Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, he was no longer afraid of extreme cold or heat.
"Excellent. Now, it's time for this!"
Excited by his body's newfound strength, he pulled out his last immortal herb, the Earth Dragon Gold Gourd.
Without hesitation, he devoured the Earth Dragon Gold Gourd in large bites, then submerged himself back into the center of the spring, using its energy to help refine the medicinal power.
As his body grew stronger, he didn't experience any pain while refining the Earth Dragon Gold Gourd. Instead, his entire body felt pleasantly numb and tingling.
At the same time, he could clearly feel the Earth Dragon Gold Gourd being broken down inside him into a rich earth energy that flowed into his martial soul.
The Evil Eye White Tiger was an innate martial soul of metal, controlling the killing power of metal. Earth nurtures metal, and the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Gold Gourd was evidently improving the quality of his martial soul, evolving it further.
It was like how Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tower evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tower after consuming the Qiro Orchid Tulip.
His Evil Eye White Tiger was already one of the top beast martial souls. Now, after another evolution, Dai Weisi couldn't help but wonder what his martial soul would become. Would it evolve into a divine-level martial soul?
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo opened his eyes with a satisfied grin, feeling immense joy. He laughed loudly, saying, "Hahaha, wonderful! I no longer have to endure the pain of the venom! Hahaha!"
A powerful soul pressure suddenly erupted from Dugu Bo's body. He had now reached the level of a ninety-two rank Titled Douluo, and his strength far surpassed his previous self!
