"Young person, why is there an aura of divinity upon your body?"
"A dense aura, an aura of a god, yet it is not a god we recognize!"
Lin Xishan had roughly understood in his heart; this was the essence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
"Me? Just someone who arrived here by accident," Lin Xishan said calmly, the corners of his lips curling up.
"An accident? That does show some fate with us."
As the two voices spoke, they flew straight out of the hot spring and began to circle around Lin Xishan.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan was immediately shocked and recoiled backward.
"Two seniors, please do not create such a commotion; I still have use for the person here," Lin Xishan also spoke up.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings hesitated for a moment, then a force gently wiped away Dugu Yan's recent memories before they retreated back into the spring.
"A person of divinity, using ice and fire to temper the body, can stimulate their divinity."
After the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls finished speaking, they returned to silence.
Lin Xishan sensed the meaning of the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls; those two old guys wanted to merge into his body when he ascended.
As for whether they wanted to seize his body or just wanted to hitch a ride to become a god, Lin Xishan already had a plan.
Opening his eyes, Lin Xishan felt the power within his body; his spirit power had increased by about one level.
Having traveled hard for the past few months, Lin Xishan basically hadn't increased his spirit power much, and his current cultivation was around level 54.
This level of cultivation was quite good for his age, but on the Douluo I World line, the old Asura God in the heavens, along with Goodness and Evil, were laying out their plans, and the Three-God War would follow.
These were all things that would happen in about ten years.
The Spirit King level was a small watershed; starting from Spirit King, it distinguished ordinary people from geniuses.
When ordinary people reached the Spirit King level, their spirit power was basically like the test-run collections of flop books from his past life; it basically stopped moving.
As for geniuses, the Spirit King level was when they officially entered the hall in the Spirit Master World, and only at the Spirit Saint level could they truly be considered experts.
Of course, this standard was only limited to Douluo I; in later eras, mere Titled Douluo, why seek their own destruction...
The sunlight gradually appeared; the mist spewed from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could not block the daylight, resembling a white mist dragon, rising spirally and swirling in the air.
Poison Douluo returned carrying a food box at this moment, the aroma reaching Lin Xishan and Dugu Yan's noses from far away.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan immediately pounced over, smiling as she took the food box from Dugu Bo's hands and opened it immediately.
"It's grilled fish! That's great!" Dugu Yan giggled as she held up the food box and said happily.
After the meal, Dugu Bo sent Dugu Yan off for a nap, then took Lin Xishan out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In a cave on the other side of the hill, Dugu Bo looked at Lin Xishan and said, "Kid, I've decided; we'll go with the second method you mentioned."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo opened his mouth and spat out a green bead, which stuck to Lin Xishan's forehead.
Dugu Bo said, "I won't hide it from you, this is the inner core I condensed after my Jade Phosphor Serpent evolved into the Serpent Empress. You could say I've put all my spirit power into this bead. If I die, it will detonate directly on your forehead. Not to mention you, even among Titled Douluo, not many could withstand such a point-blank explosion."
Subsequently, this Titled Douluo let down his defenses and said to Lin Xishan, "Go ahead and do it."
"Old freak, you really are difficult to serve. After this, I want ownership of half of your herb garden!" Lin Xishan flicked the green inner core unhappily and said.
"Fine," Dugu Bo said calmly.
For Dugu Bo, although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was important, as long as his illness was cured, the collection value of that place was higher than its practical value.
Giving away half ownership was fine; anyway, Lin Xishan already knew about this place now. Given his talent, if he really wanted it, it would be a matter of time, and he certainly wouldn't be able to keep it.
Pressing one hand on Dugu Bo's abdomen, the next movement would be significant, so Lin Xishan exerted force with his feet, pushing Dugu Bo against the wall.
The cave wall was instantly cracked like a spiderweb.
At this instant, Ten Thousand Mountains Absolute Shadow erupted six times, a full six-fold amplification.
Added to Mountain Gods Protection, it was twelve times the power.
Dugu Bo suddenly felt a chill; he suddenly felt that if Lin Xishan had malicious intentions, he could die at this kid's hands.
"Universe Reversal!"
Lin Xishan shouted abruptly, and Dugu Bo felt that the toxins in his limbs and bones were all being drawn out.
The toxins concentrated in his dantian, then rushed out of his body along his skin, pouring into Lin Xishan's body.
The violent, intense poison made Lin Xishan shiver; fortunately, he had already applied a six-fold special defense, otherwise he would have died before this infusion even finished.
"The big one is coming, get ready!" Lin Xishan said through gritted teeth.
"Bring it on!" Dugu Bo, having lost all his toxins and with no new spirit power condensed yet, had all his hair fall out, and felt an extraordinary sense of lightness in his body.
"Here it comes!" Lin Xishan raised his other hand, a white halo of light emerged, and he punched Dugu Bo's dantian.
The white halo flashed, and Lin Xishan sat down on the ground, his head tilting to the side as he fainted.
At this moment, a cyan divine aura flashed on Dugu Bo's body; the Spirit imprint that originally belonged to the Jade Phosphor Serpent Empress appeared behind him for an instant, then quickly shattered.
A new green Spirit imprint slowly emerged; it was a giant snake, and on the huge snake's body, nine snake heads revealed a ferocious expression.
Lin Xishan was woken up by flashes of green light; looking at the Spirit imprint behind Dugu Bo, he couldn't help but say in surprise, "This, damn it, I want this Spirit too!"
Dugu Bo's changes were not over yet; a head of ink-green long hair grew out again, the green hair was incredibly smooth, completely different from the withered look before.
His skin also became supple and glowed with a halo, and his physique also had a sense of power.
Simply put, it approached the appearance of Dugu Bo in the manga.
The only difference was that his eyes had turned into golden vertical pupils, revealing supreme kingly dominance.
Lin Xishan propped himself up, then took the green bead off his forehead and handed it to Dugu Bo, saying, "Since I have successfully completed the mission, I will return this to you, senior."
Dugu Bo felt the World spinning; the emptiness of his spirit power, the pain of being reborn, and other negative effects all settled at once.
Under the intense pain, this Titled Douluo's hands wouldn't stop shaking; he hesitated for a moment and said, "Um, help me up, thanks."
Lin Xishan: "..."
Seeing Lin Xishan's disdainful look, Dugu Bo's old face flushed red. Paired with his now young and handsome face, there was actually a sense of shyness as if he had been bullied. "I really have no strength left, help me up."
"If you didn't speak, I would have made a mistake." Lin Xishan reached out speechlessly...
