After Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi left, Dugu Bo also took Wang Li and Dugu Yan with him.
Carrying Wang Li in one hand and holding Dugu Yan in the other, there was still a difference between a grandson-in-law and a granddaughter. Flying in mid-air, Dugu Bo jokingly said,
"Wang Li, how do you feel? Even the Crown Prince and School Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are actively showing you goodwill!"
Wang Li, held in Dugu Bo's hand, heard this, smiled helplessly, and then said,
"This isn't showing goodwill to me; this is clearly showing goodwill to Grandpa. If it were just me, that skeleton-like Titled Douluo would probably be choking me and asking which side I wanted to join!"
"The Crown Prince has investigated my past experiences thoroughly, including the village I came from, Notting Academy, and Liejia Academy where I stayed. This power makes it impossible for me to refuse his kindness."
"But Yan Yan Jie and Grandpa, you've both warned me. I definitely won't get involved in the royal family's internal power struggles. My goal, from beginning to end, is only one: to become a powerful Spirit Master."
"As for School Master Ning's side, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the Upper Three Sects in the Spirit Master's world, I'm used to freedom and don't want to join any Sect. It's good to be a free Spirit Master with Yan Yan Jie and Grandpa in the future."
Dugu Yan giggled,
"Exactly! What the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can give, Grandpa can also give us. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would also control this and that, but Grandpa usually doesn't control us. It's so comfortable to be free."
Wang Li agreed wholeheartedly:
"That's right, Grandpa is the best."
Looking at Wang Li and Dugu Yan, who were singing in harmony, Dugu Bo smiled, feeling very pleased.
He was a person who valued relationships greatly. The death of his son and daughter-in-law was an eternal pain in his heart. Now, the severe poison in his granddaughter had been suppressed, and the severe poison in himself could also be suppressed.
At this moment, if anyone dared to touch Wang Li, Dugu Bo would truly fight to the death.
Back at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
The red and blue springs, intertwined yet distinct, continued to release extreme heat and extreme cold spirit power endlessly.
Dugu Bo warned solemnly,
"You can absorb extreme heat and extreme cold spirit power to cultivate, but that doesn't mean you can directly extract energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. You became a Spirit Ancestor at twelve, and breaking through to Spirit King and Spirit Emperor will naturally follow. My body can wait."
Wang Li approached the spring, summoned his Spirit. Blue Silver Grass surrounded him, and four spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, and purple, pulsed up and down, circling left and right.
He attempted to extend Blue Silver Grass branches into the Yang Spring and Cold Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. In just a moment, the Blue Silver Grass branches in the Yang Spring were carbonized by the strong Fire Poison, and the Blue Silver Grass branches in the Cold Spring were frozen by the domineering Ice Poison.
A look of solemnity appeared in Wang Li's eyes. Even his Blue Silver Grass, which had evolved to the third level and had four spirit rings attached, could not resist this Fire Poison and Ice Poison, showing how terrifying they were.
After all, later on, even the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King was tormented to the point of unbearable pain by Tang San using this Yang Spring and Cold Spring.
He turned around, looked at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, and then said very seriously,
"Grandpa, Yan Yan Jie, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't dare to directly absorb the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. But in these three years, I've absorbed a large amount of extreme heat and extreme cold spirit power, and there have been some special changes."
After speaking, he walked to a plant emitting a scorching sensation, squatted down, and slowly extended his right hand closer.
His originally wheat-colored skin slowly became covered with a red glow, seemingly resonating with the plant, which was the lie huo xing jiao su.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both extremely surprised, and Wang Li quickly explained,
"My body has accumulated a large amount of extreme heat and extreme cold aura. And this plant, as well as the plant over there, are nourished by this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, containing immense extreme heat and extreme cold energy, but they are not as overbearing as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself."
"I can feel that the extreme heat and extreme cold aura I've accumulated will allow me to absorb these two herbs very well. And after being tempered by these two herbs, not only will my strength greatly increase, but I'll also be able to directly absorb the completely homologous extreme heat and extreme cold energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the future, making cultivation twice as effective. I'll also be able to use the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to help Grandpa suppress his severe poison."
Dugu Bo frowned and said,
"This is your speculation. If your speculation is wrong, do you know that you will face a life-or-death crisis!"
Dugu Yan hadn't expected Wang Li's plan, and at this moment, she also seriously advised,
"Xiao Li, your talent is already very strong. There's no need to take such a big risk again!"
Wang Li certainly knew that absorbing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and lie huo xing jiao su, although somewhat risky, was entirely feasible. However, he couldn't explain this clearly.
He didn't have Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, nor Chrysanthemum Douluo's Immortal Herb catalog, and didn't recognize most of the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. By comparing them with his memories from his previous life and his own extreme heat and extreme cold aura, he recognized the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and lie huo xing jiao su, and he definitely couldn't let them go.
Wang Li looked at the two and said seriously,
"Grandpa, Yan Yan Jie, I would never joke with my own life. I truly believe that absorbing these two herbs will be of great benefit to me, and at the same time, it will give me the ability to help Grandpa suppress the severe poison right now."
Dugu Yan still wanted to persuade him, but Dugu Bo said,
"If you want to absorb them, then absorb them. You've always been very decisive, but I must warn you, if you can't bear it, I can forcefully help you expel the extreme heat energy and extreme cold energy, but your spirit power might not improve for several years, or even more than ten years. Once the foundation is damaged, it's extremely difficult to mend."
Wang Li heard this and said firmly,
"I understand, but I believe I can succeed. My mutated Spirit has given me strong recovery and adaptability. Absorbing these two herbs will definitely not be a problem."
After speaking, Wang Li walked to the intersection of the red and blue springs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He spread his hands, and the Blue Silver Grass branches extended to both sides, using them to pick the lie huo xing jiao su and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
And with extreme speed, he brought the two Immortal Herbs back. In just that short time, the Blue Silver Grass branches on both sides had begun to carbonize and freeze respectively, showing how powerful the two Immortal Herbs were.
Catching them in one go, Wang Li quickly stuffed them into his mouth. Strangely, the two Immortal Herbs melted upon contact and turned into liquid, entering his body.
Immediately, extreme heat and extreme cold energy erupted. The extreme heat and extreme cold aura within his body were also activated, causing his body to alternately glow fiery red and icy blue.
As the two colors alternated, Wang Li didn't feel uncomfortable. The extreme hot energy turned into warm energy, and the extreme cold energy turned into cool energy.
Then Wang Li leaped up and jumped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...
