Chapter 27: Ye Xingyue, the Mobile Treasure Trove.
Ah Yin was shocked to see this: "Xuanming, the medicinal properties of these two herbs clash, so they are not easily absorbed."
Ye Xuanming took a deep breath:
"Believe me."
Ye Xuanming enveloped his hands with soul power and carefully plucked two immortal herbs, sensing the terrifying energy contained within them.
The moment the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was in hand, a bone-chilling cold shot straight to the heart. The Fiery Apricot Blossom, on the other hand, radiated a scorching heat.
"Xuanming, do we really have to do this?" Ah Yin's voice was full of worry.
"This must be done."
Ye Xuanming walked to the edge of the Yin-Yang Well and began to take off his clothes.
He put the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot together and swallowed them in one gulp.
Two completely different medicinal effects collided in the body, producing a violent conflict.
Ye Xuanming felt that his body was like a battlefield, where ice and fire were fighting each other.
He endured the excruciating pain and leaped into the eye of ice and fire.
The temperature of the spring water was just right to neutralize the ice and fire power within his body. Ye Xuanming sat cross-legged in the center of the spring water and began to circulate his soul power.
Time passed second by second, and Ye Xuanming felt the changes in his body.
The medicinal power of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was transforming his meridians, making his soul power flow more smoothly.
The fiery apricot blossoms were strengthening his physique, making his body more resilient.
The medicinal power of the two immortal herbs, harmonized by the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, perfectly integrated into his body.
Just then, the sound of wind breaking came from the sky.
Dugu Bo descended from the sky with three women, landing steadily in the herb garden.
Dugu Yan arrived in an instant and began searching for Ye Xuanming's figure.
Ye Lingling was stunned by the sight before her: "So many precious herbs."
Ye Xingyue gasped in astonishment: "Every single herb here is priceless!"
Just as Dugu Bo was about to speak, he suddenly saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the spring.
"Hey kid, what are you doing!"
Dugu Bo's voice echoed in the valley, and the three women looked in the direction he was looking.
In the spring water, Ye Xuanming sat cross-legged, his body radiating a faint light.
His skin became fairer, and his muscle definition became more perfect.
Dugu Yan's face instantly turned as red as an apple, and she quickly turned her head away.
Ye Lingling was too embarrassed to look directly at him; her cheeks were burning hot under her veil.
Only Ye Xingyue remained relatively calm, carefully observing Ye Xuanming's condition.
"Senior Dugu, don't worry, Xuanming seems to be cultivating."
Ye Xingyue's words calmed Dugu Bo down. He carefully sensed it and could indeed feel the powerful aura emanating from Ye Xuanming.
"What is this kid doing? I told him not to go into the spring," Dugu Bo said, frowning.
Just then, Ye Xuanming slowly opened his eyes.
A strange light flashed in his pupils, and his entire demeanor underwent a subtle change.
"Seniors, everyone, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ye Xuanming's voice remained calm, but the power it contained shocked everyone present.
He slowly stood up, and spring water slid down his body.
At this moment, Ye Xuanming's body radiated a faint glow, and every muscle was full of power.
"Xuanming, your soul power…" Ye Xingyue asked in surprise.
"I've reached level 25." Ye Xuanming nodded. "I just consumed two immortal herbs and managed to break through."
(In the original novel, Tang San absorbed two immortal herbs in half a year, and with the assistance of Dugu Bo's pill pearl, he went from level 34 to level 37. The Ice and Fire Chain Golden Body was mainly for body refinement, but since the protagonist is a Great Soul Master, Ye Xuanming here improved by four levels at once.)
Dugu Bo's eyes widened: "What did you say? You consumed the immortal herb?"
"Eight-pointed ice grass and fiery apricot blossoms."
Ye Xuanming gave a brief explanation of the principle behind the Ice and Fire Chain Golden Body, leaving Dugu Bo dumbfounded.
"You've got some nerve! Those are herbs with conflicting properties."
Ye Xuanming emerged from the spring and slowly said:
"Luckily, there was the ice and fire spring water to balance things out, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."
"Now we can begin treating Yanzi."
Only then did Dugu Yan dare to turn around and see that Ye Xuanming was already dressed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xuanming, what you just did..."
"I'm sorry to have worried you." Ye Xuanming smiled apologetically. "But this gives me more confidence to cure your poison."
Ye Xingyue stepped forward and carefully examined Ye Xuanming's physical condition.
"It's incredible. Your physical strength has at least doubled, and your soul power is also much purer."
"Aunt Ye, you flatter me."
Dugu Bo couldn't wait to ask, "Kid, can we start the treatment now?"
Ye Xuanming nodded, then turned to Ye Xingyue: "Aunt Ye, we need your help next."
"Go ahead and say it."
"Yanzi needs to take some special immortal herbs. I need you to use the power of the Nine Heart Begonia to help her stabilize her physical condition."
Ye Xingyue nodded solemnly: "No problem."
Ye Xuanming took out a handful of immortal herbs from his treasure pouch, each one exuding a rich medicinal fragrance.
When Ye Xingyue got closer and took a look, she gasped in shock.
"Azure flower, blood ginseng, violet..."
Her voice trembled more and more, and her fingers trembled as she pointed at the magical herbs.
"And there's also the Nine-Leaf Blood Ganoderma, Dragon Beard Grass... My God, these are all legendary immortal herbs!"
Dugu Bo was also shocked. He considered himself to be an expert in pharmacology, but he didn't recognize these herbs at all.
"Aunt Ye, do you recognize these?" Ye Xuanming feigned surprise.
Ye Xingyue nodded repeatedly:
"The Nine Heart Begonia family has a family-inherited medical book that records some of these things, but I've only seen most of them described in ancient books. Xuanming, you recognize these too?"
Ye Xuanming shook his head:
"I don't recognize it, but my martial spirit can sense the energy in immortal herbs. I can sense which herbs have the strongest vitality and which can neutralize toxins."
Dugu Yan muttered to herself, "Xuanming, your martial spirit is too amazing. It can sense everything."
Ye Lingling chuckled: "Yanzi, are you a little jealous?"
"I didn't!"
Dugu Yan blushed, then curiously leaned closer.
"Xuanming, what secrets does your martial soul still hold?"
Ye Xuanming smiled wryly: "I'm not quite sure either. I often discover things by accident."
Ah Yin chuckled to herself in the Sea of Spirit: "Xuanming, your acting is getting better and better."
Ye Xuanming thought to himself, "There's no way I can say that you told me."
"Since Aunt Ye knows these herbs, let Aunt Ye prepare the herbs."
Ye Xuanming handed the herbs to Ye Xingyue, then his tone became serious.
"Yanzi was poisoned by her own martial spirit."
The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
Ye Xingyue and Ye Lingling were both startled.
To Ye Xingyue's surprise, Ye Xuanming actually revealed this secret directly.
Such confidential matters are generally not easily told to outsiders.
Ye Lingling was shocked that Dugu Yan had actually been poisoned by her own martial spirit.
"What? The goose has been poisoned?"
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with concern, her clear blue eyes filled with worry.
Dugu Yan was somewhat bewildered: "I...I've been poisoned?"
