Above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a misty haze hung in the air.
Bai Mu endured the extreme heat and cold as he walked forward, his gaze sweeping across the two springs on either side.
Even with his current physique, the environment felt almost unbearable.
"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass… Blazing Apricot Delicate…"
He took a deep breath and quickly retrieved two differently shaped immortal herbs from his bracelet.
Tossing the bracelet aside, he stuffed both herbs into his mouth without hesitation, chewing and swallowing them at once.
Boom!
In an instant, the opposing energies of ice and fire erupted violently inside his body!
The left side of his body felt as if it had plunged into an ice cave, his blood on the verge of freezing solid. The right side, meanwhile, burned as though thrown into a blazing furnace, his skin turning red and scorching hot.
"Ugh—"
Bai Mu groaned in pain, but he endured it and leaped straight into the intersection of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Splash!
The moment his body entered the water, two extreme forces surged in from every direction, frantically tempering his body.
The powers of ice and fire intertwined and clashed within him. Bai Mu felt every inch of his flesh, every bone, being relentlessly refined.
Pain!
An indescribable, excruciating pain!
It was as if a million steel needles were piercing his body while icy flames raged through his veins, hot and cold alternating endlessly.
Yet amid this overwhelming agony, Bai Mu could clearly sense his body undergoing a profound transformation.
His physique, which had already reached the Indestructible Vajra Body realm, began evolving to an even higher level under the dual tempering of ice and fire.
His muscles grew denser and firmer, his bones became tougher and stronger, and his meridians widened significantly…
In addition to the ice and fire energies, the toxins from the two immortal herbs unknowingly flowed into his Eight Spider Lances.
"…"
Bai Mu gritted his teeth, his consciousness drifting in a sea of torment.
Unlike Tang San's experience with body refinement, Bai Mu wasn't worried about his safety at all.
Because on the shore, Z2 stood guard quietly.
The moment it sensed Bai Mu's life force becoming unstable or weakening, it would instantly release Jungle Healing.
That special life energy would surge into the spring, immediately restoring Bai Mu to his peak condition.
With the added support of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone's healing effect, Bai Mu's state remained exceptionally stable.
As a result, his utilization and absorption of the two immortal herbs far surpassed what Tang San had achieved in the original story.
"What… what is he doing?"
Nearby, Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.
How could anyone possibly enter such a terrifying spring?
Not only had Bai Mu jumped in, but he had stayed inside for so long?
Yet beyond her shock, what she wanted to know most was—why had he kidnapped her?
"Grandpa! Please come and save me!"
Dugu Yan prayed silently in her heart.
Little did she know that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was actually her grandfather's private lair.
At that moment, her grandfather was frantically searching for her and had no intention of returning here anytime soon.
Time passed, second by second.
The sun set and the moon rose, then the moon set and the sun rose again.
Bai Mu spent a full day and night refining his body inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
At noon on the second day, the waters of the spring finally stirred.
Splash—
Bai Mu leaped out of the water. White mist rose from his body as he revealed his newly strengthened, powerful physique.
Under the sunlight, his skin reflected a strange, lustrous sheen.
Every inch of muscle and skin seemed like the most perfect creation imaginable.
"It's a success…"
Bai Mu clenched his fist, feeling the immense power surging within him.
His physical strength had increased by at least twofold compared to before, and all his attributes had skyrocketed!
Moreover, his spirit power had risen by one level during the tempering process. He was now only one step away from rank 50.
Bai Mu wasn't surprised. After all, in the original story, Tang San had gained three levels in just a few months after undergoing Ice and Fire Refines the Golden Body.
"Eight Spider Lances!"
With a single thought, eight deep purple spider lances extended from behind him.
Compared to before, the Eight Spider Lances were now noticeably more robust, sharper, and more translucent, with striking red and blue patterns running along their surfaces.
They had clearly undergone a massive evolution!
"Ice and fire poison…"
Bai Mu smiled.
The ice and fire toxins from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate had been successfully integrated into his Eight Spider Lances!
He had now mastered two of the most powerful poisons in the entire continent!
What's more, this ice and fire poison could be added to his Evil Poison Chain, elevating the power of that soul skill to an entirely new level!
"Good bro, keep it up! The peak of the Poison Dao—I've arrived ahead of schedule!"
Bai Mu smiled faintly.
The thought of Tang San still struggling along the path of Ultimate Poison made him want to laugh.
Of course, the biggest gain from this trip wasn't just that…
"How do you feel, Little Soft?"
Bai Mu released Little Soft.
"Very powerful! I feel like I've reached a state of immunity to ice and fire—impervious to water and fire, and fearless against all poisons!"
The black Dragon Hound raised its head proudly.
It now possessed powerful resistance to both ice and fire attributes. As long as the attack intensity didn't exceed its tolerance limit, it could directly nullify them!
This completely addressed its greatest weakness—its fourfold vulnerability to ice—and essentially granted it a divine-rank buff!
"How about you, Z2?"
Bai Mu then turned to the large white snake resting on the shore.
"Me too!"
Z2 nodded in agreement.
Since it and Little Soft were essentially one entity, any new achievement by one would naturally benefit the other.
In addition to these gains, there was another special reward!
"I've successfully learned Toxic!"
Zygarde announced.
"Great! That saves me a lot of trouble!"
Bai Mu nodded in satisfaction.
The Toxic move was simple in effect: it allowed him to unleash a toxic attack that inflicted poison damage on the opponent, causing them to suffer progressively increasing damage over time.
"This feels amazing!"
Bai Mu raised his arms and shouted excitedly.
Using his spirit power to evaporate the water droplets from his body, he was about to get dressed when he noticed Dugu Yan huddled in the corner.
"Dear Swallow, you've been watching for so long. What do you think?"
Bai Mu walked over with a warm smile, taking long, confident strides.
"W-what… what do you want?"
"Let me go! I can give you money! I can even give you a spirit bone!"
Dugu Yan looked at him in horror, instinctively shrinking back.
In her eyes, Bai Mu at this moment resembled a smiling tiger, while the ferocious Eight Spider Lances behind him radiated a chilling, terrifying aura.
What do I want to do?
Bai Mu gave her a meaningful smile.
"Swallow, I'm really worked up right now. Can you help me out?"
Dugu Yan asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
"Dry."
Bai Mu nodded decisively.
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then understood exactly what he meant. Her face turned deathly pale.
"You… don't come any closer!"
"Since we're already here, we might as well do something."
Bai Mu stepped closer. "Besides, your grandfather helped me cultivate so many immortal herbs. I should at least 'thank' him properly, right?"
"No… don't…"
Dugu Yan tried to escape, but she couldn't move.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die."
Bai Mu reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently squeezing her slender neck.
"Don't resist. Just enjoy it all."
"Otherwise, I'll have to take extra good care of you!"
"No! Ah!!!"
Dugu Yan's tears and sweat flowed uncontrollably.
After the initial pain quickly subsided, a burning desire began to surge through her body.
The chain sticky cake she had eaten earlier successfully amplified this craving.
Unconsciously, her body began to writhe like a supple jade serpent, actively entwining around him… Bai Mu launched a frenzied assault.
Unfortunately, even with his Indestructible Vajra Body, Bai Mu was quickly routed by her.
But Bai Mu never showed mercy to a defeated opponent. Instead, he imposed even harsher "punishments"!
With plenty of time to spare, Bai Mu wasn't in any hurry to leave.
While adapting to his greatly enhanced strength after Ice and Fire Refines the Golden Body, he also "taught" Dugu Yan how to be a proper maid.
At the same time, he quietly waited for Dugu Bo to arrive.
He had come here and specifically kidnapped Dugu Yan to lure the enemy—not just for the sake of Ice and Fire Refines the Golden Body!
More importantly, he was here for Dugu Bo himself!
Dugu Bo was extremely useful!
