Chapter 38: Soul Evolution
Immediately, Wang Teng put away the Immortal Herb and found a place not permeated by the power of ice and fire, then began to prepare for his Spirit evolution.
The moment Wang Teng took out the Cosmic Soul from his inventory, he felt his two great Spirits stirring, as if eager to absorb them.
Clearly, for Spirits, this item was like fine wine to a drunkard; they simply couldn't resist the temptation.
Feeling the two great Spirits stirring within him, Wang Teng didn't make them wait long and immediately began absorbing the Cosmic Soul.
As the Cosmic Soul was refined, Wang Teng could feel that the origin of his first Spirit, Xuan Guang Cross, was strengthening.
Time gradually passed, and after Wang Teng refined two Cosmic Souls, the Xuan Guang Cross Spirit automatically flew out from his body, emitting a dazzling golden light.
Suddenly, the aura of the Xuan Guang Cross Spirit surged, its quality directly elevating from a high-grade Spirit to a top-grade Spirit.
"Hmm, the Spirit has indeed evolved, but its name needs to be changed. From now on, it can't be called Xuan Guang Cross; Holy Light Cross will do."
With the evolution of his first Spirit, Wang Teng felt as if he was becoming more suitable to be a charlatan.
Placing the Holy Light Cross Spirit before his chest, he thought, "Ah! Praise the Holy Light!"
—It felt a little embarrassing.
With the first Spirit handled, it was now time for the second Spirit: Phantom Flash Gauntlets.
Not long after, Phantom Flash Gauntlets also successfully advanced to a top-grade Spirit, and Wang Teng gave it a new name—Nether Sun Gauntlets.
Nodding with satisfaction, Wang Teng stood up and walked towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Now that his Spirits had advanced, it was time to consume the Immortal Herbs.
Although Wang Teng was currently still a Level 23 Spirit Grandmaster, his physical quality, due to the enhancement from vice copy experience and the amplification from his inherited set, was by no means weaker than Tang San's in the original work, who was still at the Spirit Elder level.
Since Tang San could consume two Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs and then jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his body, Wang Teng naturally could too.
After telling Natya not to worry, Wang Teng came to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, picked the Blazing Apricot Delicate Softness and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and immediately put them into his mouth.
The two Immortal Herbs melted upon entry, and their taste was acceptable.
Although both Immortal Herbs were highly poisonous, when consumed together, they no longer produced potent toxins due to their conflicting attributes.
Soon, Wang Teng felt a massive surge of ice and fire energy pouring into his body.
Without hesitation, he stripped off his clothes, put them into his inventory, and when the medicinal effects of the two Immortal Herbs began to take hold—his body alternately turning ice-blue and fiery-red, appearing somewhat bizarre—Wang Teng directly jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The moment Wang Teng entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the medicinal power of the two Immortal Herbs within him immediately erupted completely, blocking the powerful ice and fire energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
If Wang Teng had jumped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without consuming the two Immortal Herbs, he would likely have been reduced to nothing in a short time. Even a Titled Douluo who accidentally fell into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would probably face the same end.
Fortunately, the Blazing Apricot Delicate Softness and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could resist the erosion of the water and fire energy, and with the help of this water and fire energy, the medicinal effects of the two Immortal Herbs took effect, and Wang Teng's physical quality began to rapidly improve.
Evidently, this was the two Immortal Herbs tempering Wang Teng's body.
When he had consumed the two Immortal Herbs earlier, the immense spirit power surging into his body had felt very uncomfortable, but when Wang Teng was tempering his body in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it was actually less painful.
Although Wang Teng wanted to stay conscious, he soon lost consciousness and slowly sank into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At this, Natya, who was guarding by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, immediately became anxious.
Initially, Wang Teng had only entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with his head still exposed, but now he had completely submerged, which naturally made Natya anxious.
However, remembering Wang Teng's previous instructions, Natya had no good solution.
After all, she couldn't enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to pull Wang Teng out, so she could only wait anxiously in place.
But just then, an unexpected event occurred.
At this time, Dugu Bo was in a somewhat bad mood. Although he had recently advanced to Titled Douluo, he owed Prince Xue Xing a favor, so he naturally became a worship of the Heaven Dou Empire.
However, Dugu Bo didn't feel much about it; after all, he was a Titled Douluo-level expert, and no matter where he went, he was always highly regarded.
But today, his old ailment flared up again. Because his Spirit, Jade Phosphor Serpent, carried powerful toxins, he himself was inevitably deeply affected, and the toxins in his body began to act up, requiring him to go to the medicinal garden in the center of Sunset Forest to suppress the toxins.
In his medicinal garden, there was a miraculous spring permeated with the power of ice and fire that could suppress the toxins in his body.
As Dugu Bo entered his medicinal garden, he immediately sensed a figure appearing inside his medicinal garden.
Immediately, Dugu Bo became furious. Someone had actually sneaked into his medicinal garden while he was away?
"Damn it, I hope those extraordinary herbs haven't been stolen!"
Although Dugu Bo didn't recognize most of the Immortal Herbs in his medicinal garden, he did know about the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, as Ju Douluo Yue Guan, who had clashed with him before, had Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum as his Spirit; he just didn't know the specific method of harvesting or its effects.
On the other side, Natya, who was anxiously waiting for Wang Teng, also sensed someone entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and it was even a Titled Douluo, but their aura didn't seem very strong?
Presumably, it was the Dugu Bo that Wang Teng had mentioned earlier.
Soon, the two saw each other.
Dugu Bo looked around and saw that all the special high-grade herbs in his medicinal garden had disappeared.
A surge of anger welled up, and he glared fiercely at Natya.
"Little girl, hand over all the herbs you stole from this old man's medicinal garden earlier. If this old man is in a good mood, I might even leave you a complete corpse!"
Looking at Dugu Bo, who spoke without any politeness, Natya calmly responded.
"Is this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well yours?"
"Indeed! It is this old man's."
"Who acknowledges that? Is there a clear certification issued by the Heaven Dou Empire? It doesn't say it's yours outside!"
Natya directly pointed out the key issue.
"..."
Dugu Bo was speechless; he truly couldn't produce proof that this medicinal garden was his. But who was Dugu Bo? He was the famous Poison Douluo! Did he even need proof?
