Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Dugu Bo brought Wang Li back here alone. Without Dugu Yan around, Dugu Bo always maintained a stern face, but he didn't miss a single instruction or reminder:
"Stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. You absolutely cannot run around or touch anything randomly. Who knows what might be highly poisonous. If your body can't withstand the impact of extreme heat and extreme cold spirit power, you must speak up early. Maybe I can still save your life!"
"I'll leave for a bit to catch you a hundred-year or thousand-year Spirit Beast, enough for you to eat for a month. During this time, you must be careful!"
Wang Li understood good from bad, so he nodded in response:
"Okay, Senior, I understand!"
Then Dugu Bo left with peace of mind.
However, after Dugu Bo left, Wang Li went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the center of the valley, looked around, then picked a spot by the side, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
In an instant, the extreme heat and extreme cold spirit power that constantly eroded his body were actively absorbed into his body.
Others avoided them, but he relished them. The power unleashed by the collision of these two types of spirit power, extreme heat and extreme cold, caused great damage to Wang Li's body.
But soon, his body began to repair itself, and the repaired areas even carried a faint, almost imperceptible, but truly existing glow, which then completely merged into his body, not disappearing, but becoming a complete part of him.
And those two types of spirit power, extreme heat and extreme cold, after circulating within his body in circles, were quickly tamed by him and integrated into his own spirit power.
Cultivating here not only allowed his own spirit power to advance rapidly towards twenty-seventh level, but also tempered his body at all times. It truly lived up to its name as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and indeed one of the three great treasure troves.
When he awoke from his cultivation and opened his eyes, he immediately saw Dugu Bo with a solemn expression. Seeing Wang Li awake, Dugu Bo immediately spoke with fury:
"You brat, did you not take my words to heart? How dare you run to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate? Do you know that even I don't dare to get this close?"
"These two types of spirit power, extreme heat and extreme cold, have reached the level of Fire Poison and Ice Poison. Others don't even dare to touch them, yet you actively absorbed them into your body. Do you want to die?!"
Dugu Bo was very angry, but also extremely scared. Wang Li was too bold. He had only been gone for a short while, and this kid dared to seek death like this.
What if this kid really died? What would happen to his granddaughter? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Dugu Bo's gaze grew increasingly unfriendly.
Wang Li, however, was cheerful. He had already experienced the tremendous benefits of cultivating here, and at this moment, he even proactively comforted him:
"Senior, look, I'm fine. And my spirit power has increased by a large margin. My Mutated Blue Silver Grass Spirit, compared to ordinary Blue Silver Grass, has even more tenacious vitality."
"I can feel that the greater the external pressure, the faster my cultivation speed. Cultivating steadily is not suitable for me. These two types of spirit power, extreme heat and extreme cold, are perfect for me."
"Also, Senior, I'm hungry..."
Dugu Bo saw that Wang Li was indeed fine and felt relieved. Hearing Wang Li explain his Spirit like that, he even found some sense in it. If a mutated Spirit didn't have something special about it, it couldn't have allowed Wang Li to possess such high spirit power at such a young age.
Finally, hearing Wang Li still clamoring about being hungry, he could only wave his hand and say:
"The Spirit Beast I caught for you is outside the valley. Go deal with it yourself. A seven-hundred-year Great Horned Ox is enough for you to eat for one or two months."
Wang Li jumped up upon hearing this and said:
"Thank you, Senior!"
Then he rushed out in a hurry. He was truly hungry. Every time he finished cultivating, he felt so hungry he could eat an entire ox, and this time Dugu Bo actually caught him an ox.
This was also a drawback of his cultivation method. Although cultivation was fast, the consumption was high. After all, there's no such thing as perfection in the world.
Arriving outside the valley, Wang Li immediately spotted a large, fat creature. It was already dead, with a yellow spirit ring floating above it.
This was an ox-type Spirit Beast, its most distinctive feature being its pair of large horns, which were terrifying sharp weapons capable of impaling Spirit Elders and Spirit Ancestors.
However, Dugu Bo was powerful. Without causing it any external wounds, he used his formidable spirit power to shatter its life force.
Wang Li watched for a while, then began to work. He rummaged through his spirit tool and pulled out several different styles of knives and axes, as well as pots, bowls, ladles, and various cooking utensils.
When he first obtained the storage spirit tool, he prepared himself a set of wilderness survival gear. After all, Spirit Masters needed to hunt Spirit Beasts to advance, and Spirit Beasts were all in the Spirit Beast forests in the wilderness.
He gestured a few times, then summoned his Spirit, using Blue Silver Vines to hang the Great Horned Ox, began to drain its blood, and gradually dismembered it.
After a period of busy work by Master Wang, the entire Great Horned Ox was transformed into basins of meat, neatly divided into various parts.
He first stewed a pot of beef brisket and roasted a beef leg. As for the remaining meat, Wang Li moved it to the vicinity of the ice spring at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to refrigerate it. It would definitely be fine for a month or two.
As expected of a seven-hundred-year Great Horned Ox, it took Wang Li three hours to finally stew and roast its meat.
The taste certainly couldn't compare to a restaurant's, after all, Wang Li was a Spirit Master, not a chef, but the meat was good, so it had a unique flavor.
Wang Li didn't just eat by himself; besides his own portion, he also prepared a portion for Dugu Bo.
At Dugu Bo's level, it didn't really matter if he didn't eat for a long time, but Wang Li ate with such relish that Dugu Bo unconsciously picked up his chopsticks as well.
When the old and the young had eaten their fill.
Wang Li then looked at Dugu Bo and said with a grin:
"Senior, I have a favor to ask!"
Dugu Bo glanced at this grinning kid, then asked concisely:
"What is it?"
Wang Li replied:
"Beat me up!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was stunned. His eyes narrowed, and he said meaningfully:
"Are you serious?"
Wang Li nodded, confirming:
"Only sufficient pressure is the driving force for my growth. Senior can be a bit heavier-handed. I even want to experience the feeling of being on the brink of life and death."
"No problem, of course no problem!"
Dugu Bo stood up, his face displaying a terrifying smile that could stop children from crying at night. He had wanted to beat this kid for a long time, and now that Wang Li had proactively suggested it, he had no reason to refuse:
"No matter how much pressure you want, I can let you experience it!"
