Chapter 194 - Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul — Ice and Fire Temper the Golden Body

Arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, aside from obtaining immortal herbs, there was another purpose—using the Fiery Apricot Delicate疏 and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to temper the body, achieving physical defense immune to both water and fire.

As for the Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew, if things followed the original path, it would very likely allow his Spirit Eyes martial soul to fully enter the Silver Awakening stage, causing his strength to surge by an unknown margin once again.

"Absorb it inside the valley. Speaking of which, the Fiery Apricot Delicate疏 clone you wanted still contains a tiny bit of Blazing Gel. When you absorb it, I suggest you take that out first," Youyou said, her tone carrying a bit more concern.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and once again took out the jade box containing the Fiery Apricot Delicate疏. His hands turned jade-colored as he parted the leaves, immediately seeing a very small piece of gelatinous substance—completely transparent, containing intense fire aura.

This could be given to Senior Sister Xiao Tao. Although the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was an immortal herb, when Ma Hongjun consumed it back then, he still didn't advance to the Extreme Fire level. If Senior Sister Xiao Tao also couldn't after consuming the immortal herb this time, perhaps she could use the Blazing Gel to break through in one go.

Thinking of this, a smile traced across Huo Yuhao's lips. He looked up at Youyou."Youyou, can my friends also absorb immortal herbs under your protection?"

"Of course," Youyou replied gently. Although she had tricked Huo Yuhao a bit, she really was interested in outsiders—there was no helping it, the valley was simply too boring.

"Thank you." After expressing his thanks, Huo Yuhao walked back to Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya.

The two girls immediately stepped forward.

Ma Xiaotao asked in a low voice, "How did it go?"

Huo Yuhao smiled. "Success. In a moment, Sister and Sister Xiao Ya, follow me. We'll absorb the immortal herbs right here."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao didn't celebrate prematurely. Instead, she asked cautiously, "Can this plant be trusted?"

"Yes. The immortal herb I found for you, Sister, is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Sister Xiao Ya's is the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. After absorbing them, your martial souls should undergo tremendous changes. Alright, follow me—and greet Youyou while we're at it. She likes talking with people."

After a brief explanation, Huo Yuhao led the two girls into the range of Youyou's floral fragrance. Instantly, both of their expressions changed—they clearly felt something unusual as the scent entered their bodies.

They were about to resist, but upon seeing Huo Yuhao shake his head, they relaxed.

Handing the jade boxes containing the immortal herbs to them, Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "Prepare to begin absorbing."

Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya nodded. After greeting Youyou on their own initiative, they quickly sat cross-legged. At this moment, their hearts finally grew heated with excitement.

There was no need to say much about the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower—ten thousand years ago, Ma Hongjun had consumed exactly this. As for the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Ma Xiaotao didn't recognize it, but Tang Ya did. This immortal herb was of immense benefit to plant-type martial soul masters.

Very soon, two waves of soul power fluctuations spread outward. Huo Yuhao glanced at the two girls, then began preparing to absorb the Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew himself.

Youyou smiled and said, "I don't need to explain the method of consumption, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, picked up the Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew, and slowly drank the three droplets of dew on top.

Instantly, a sweet sensation spread rapidly from his mouth, flowing into his body. A refreshing fragrance, clear and penetrating, filled every corner of his being.

Youyou casually tossed the Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew—now turned into a seed after losing its dew—into the flowerbed to be replanted.

The refreshing feeling made Huo Yuhao extremely comfortable, like taking a cold bath in the scorching heat of summer.

At first, this sensation swept through his entire body. After completing one circulation, it gradually changed—the refreshing energy began flowing along his blood vessels and meridians, converging toward his head.

Huo Yuhao immediately relaxed his mind, allowing the refreshing energy to pour into his brain.

When all the medicinal power gathered in his brain, in an instant, it exploded like a shell, spreading throughout his mind. Huo Yuhao suddenly felt his consciousness fall into chaos, as if his spiritual power had completely scattered, beyond his control.

However, this chaos didn't last long. After just a few seconds, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes suddenly lit up with brilliant golden light. The medicinal power of the Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew flowed in endlessly, washing over the Spirit Eyes.

It was like a car covered in dust and grime being thoroughly cleaned at a shop, revealing its originally glossy paint.

With each cleansing, the Spirit Eyes absorbed a strand of medicinal power, continuously strengthening. As the number of cleansings increased, Huo Yuhao gradually felt a warm sensation—his soul power and spiritual power merged together with the medicinal energy.

Time slowly passed in this repeated cycle.

Buzz—no one knew how long it had been when an indistinct vibration echoed within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

The Ice Empress and the Heaven Dream Ice Silkworm inside were instantly stunned.

Because as the sound appeared, a faint silvery-white glow spread throughout the Sea of Consciousness, merging with the brilliant golden sea.

Visible to the naked eye, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power transformed directly into a platinum-white color, radiating a holy brilliance.

"T-this… is this formless-yet-substantial level spiritual power?" the Heaven Dream Ice Silkworm exclaimed in shock.

"How is this possible? Yuhao is only a Soul Elder, right? Yet his spiritual realm has reached formless-yet-substantial?" Even the Ice Empress was startled. Her own spiritual strength was only at this level.

Note—it was spiritual strength, not total spiritual quantity.

In terms of total spiritual power, Huo Yuhao would still be completely crushed by the Ice Empress.

The Heaven Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled. "Yuhao's compatibility with this immortal herb is nearly perfect—there wasn't a single bit of medicinal power wasted. Hehe, now I'm even more confident that Yuhao can become a god. Hey, Bingbing, do you think I should start thinking of my future god title in advance?"

The Ice Empress rolled her eyes. "Using Yuhao's words—don't pop the champagne at halftime."

When the final trace of medicinal power was absorbed, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes. A streak of platinum light flashed through them. The moment he looked up, he froze.

The entire world seemed to have gained countless new colors. Countless subtle details that once required activating his martial soul to perceive were now fully visible, leaving nothing hidden.

Looking up at the seven-colored poisonous miasma—even from far away, the individual particles inside were clearly visible, even their colors impossible to escape his gaze.

When he shifted his attention to Youyou and the surrounding immortal herbs, he could see powerful currents of energy pulsing within them—manifestations of life force. These were things invisible to the naked eye, yet Huo Yuhao could see them clearly.

He could even capture the patterns of how each strand of life force flowed through petals, stamens, and roots.

When he looked at Ma Xiaotao, he could see a mass of dark-red flames violently jumping within her abdomen—that was the source power of the Evil Fire. Surrounding it was a powerful crimson-gold flame, which must be the medicinal power of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

Under the assault of the immortal herb, the Evil Fire was visibly being refined and integrated. Beads of sweat densely covered Ma Xiaotao's delicate face, her body trembling uncontrollably. From time to time, phoenix flames leapt from her body, even distorting the surrounding air with violent heat.

As for Tang Ya, her situation was much more stable. A pitch-black stream of light surrounded her body, while her Blue Silver Grass martial soul moved like writhing tentacles. Of course, unlike the usual blue Blue Silver Grass, due to absorbing a Scarlet Sun Serpent as her third soul ring, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass was crimson in color.

Withdrawing his gaze, Huo Yuhao didn't disturb the two girls. He took out a mirror to examine himself—not out of vanity, but because in the original story, after absorbing immortal herbs, "Huo Grilled Fish" had developed the White Tiger clan's double pupils.

"Eh?" When Huo Yuhao saw his eyes in the mirror, he couldn't help but voice his confusion.

His Spirit Eyes were still deep blue; the platinum light from earlier had already disappeared. There were no double pupils either—his eyes still resembled a vast starry sea. The only difference was that at the center of his pupils, there was faintly a ring of light like a sun.

"Did the Sun God Pillar help erase the White Tiger clan's double pupils?" Huo Yuhao muttered, stroking his chin. But he didn't dwell on it for long. He quickly stood up, and with a thought, platinum light once again appeared in his eyes.

Astonishingly, as his spiritual power was released, a silvery-white halo emerged behind him, carrying an illusory quality that could make anyone sink into it at a glance. Gradually, the halo transformed into a pair of silver-white eyes.

Deep, profound, containing endless changes.

Silver-Level Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul!

With a thought, Huo Yuhao instantly activated the Spirit Detection Sharing soul skill. This time, the suppression on spiritual power within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye weakened to an extremely manageable degree.

More importantly, Huo Yuhao could see all kinds of elemental Heaven-and-Earth energy floating in the air. With just a slight release of intent, he directly established communication with them.

Huo Yuhao felt overjoyed. In future battles, he could use Heaven-and-Earth energy to empower himself, or even drive it to repel enemies.

For example, when facing an ice-attribute opponent, he could directly make the ice-element Heaven-and-Earth energy in the air repel them, reducing their recovery speed.

"The consumption isn't too high—it's something I can bear." After using the Silver Awakening ability for just over ten seconds, Huo Yuhao withdrew it. This kind of thing would reveal more only in real combat.

"It seems you gained quite a lot. How is it? The immortal herb I chose for you—pretty good, right?" Youyou's voice, clearly seeking credit, immediately rang out.

Huo Yuhao turned to look at her. "This immortal herb helped me immensely. Truly, thank you, Youyou. By the way, can I continue consuming immortal herbs?"

Youyou's petals trembled slightly. "You plan to imitate Tang San and consume the Fiery Apricot Delicate疏 and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass?"

"Exactly!" Huo Yuhao nodded.

Youyou didn't refuse. "You can."

Huo Yuhao chuckled. "Since you've helped me so much, I can't just freeload. Once I succeed, I'll give gifts in return—to you and the other immortal herbs."

"Oh? What kind of gift?" Youyou became interested.

This statement also drew the attention of the other silent immortal herbs. With his increased spiritual power, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that although these immortal herbs seemed indifferent, they were actually stirred with excitement.

"Memories," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Memories?" Youyou and the immortal herbs that had awakened intelligence were all stunned. What kind of gift was that?

Huo Yuhao explained, "You live here in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Although your lifespans are long, the downside is obvious—boredom. I can give you memories of the outside world, so you won't have to spend your days sleeping or quarrelling."

He clearly remembered that Youyou often relied on the memories within the Lovesick Heartbroken Red to pass time. If she accepted memories from an Auspicious Beast, wouldn't she be overjoyed?

"Hiss—" As expected, a chorus of gasps sounded.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said no more. Turning around, he took out the jade boxes containing the Fiery Apricot Delicate疏 and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

With a burst of soul power, he lifted the lids. A layer of red light and a layer of white mist spread out. Each immortal herb was a deadly poison on its own; touching either individually would be fatal. But when the two were brought close together, their auras fused and canceled out, causing no harm within ten breaths.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao's hands turned jade-colored as he grabbed both immortal herbs and stuffed them into his mouth in one go.

The immortal herbs melted instantly upon entry, their energy surging through his body as a faint fragrance spread from his mouth.

After doing this, Huo Yuhao quickly moved to the shore where the two springs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye met and waited. After just a few breaths, the sensation arrived.

The first feeling was extreme cold—like the terrifying chill at the core of the Extreme North, capable of freezing all life.

Ice crystals instantly formed on Huo Yuhao's body, layered upon layer like scales.

However…

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. As an Extreme Ice attribute soul master, he didn't feel much from extreme cold poison. As for poison—it was cold poison. Without the impact of cold, this poison was practically nothing.

But when the extreme heat poison of the Fiery Apricot Delicate疏 appeared, Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted. Every muscle in his body tensed, his skin instantly turning crimson as scorching mist spread outward.

The previously harmless extreme cold poison became truly terrifying once it collided with the extreme heat poison. Even as an Extreme Ice attribute soul master, he couldn't withstand it.

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt excruciating pain. One moment, his organs felt frozen into shards of ice; the next, they felt as if they'd been thrown into boiling oil.

When the two energies collided, they even tugged at his meridians—one lapse, and his meridians could rupture.

The intense pain made Huo Yuhao curse endlessly in his heart, though he didn't utter a sound.

Without hesitation, the moment the effects of the two immortal herbs erupted, he leapt into the spring like a diver.

A massive splash erupted.

Zero points.

The spring churned as extreme cold and extreme heat energies intertwined—icy white and blazing red still sharply divided.

Steam continued to rise, and everything returned to silence.

Time passed. While the immortal herbs chattered about what kind of gift Huo Yuhao would give them, a loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Ma Xiaotao, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes. A burst of crimson-gold light flashed, and behind her, astonishing crimson-gold flames ignited, rising into the air and forming a vivid phoenix pattern.

Whoosh! A pair of crimson-gold phoenix wings suddenly spread from her back. With a movement of her delicate body, Ma Xiaotao flew straight into the air. Terrifying phoenix flames surged upward around her like towering pillars of fire.

Clang! After flying close to the seven-colored poisonous miasma, Ma Xiaotao stopped. She curled her body inward, then suddenly spread it out. Instantly, layers of crimson-gold flames erupted as a massive fire phoenix projection raised its head and cried to the heavens.

Her fiery-red long hair spread within the dancing flames. Reflections of blazing fire danced between her strands, while a hazy glow appeared on her cold yet stunning face.

Raising her jade-like hand slightly, Ma Xiaotao gazed forward with deep pink eyes. Crimson-gold flames condensed from the surface of her skin. Strangely, these flames flowed as gently and smoothly as water.

They were filled with purity, depth, and grandeur, the fire force endless and continuous.

"Not a trace of evil remains. My cultivation even increased by one level."

Feeling the aura within the flames, a joyful smile appeared at the corner of Ma Xiaotao's lips. However… the intensity of her flames hadn't fully evolved to the Extreme level yet—it could only be considered pseudo-Extreme for now.

Still, the medicinal effects of the immortal herb weren't fully exhausted. There would be opportunities to push toward true Extremity in the future.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was, after all, an immortal herb that refined flames—this was also why Ma Hongjun hadn't reached Extremity back then.

Compared to before, Ma Xiaotao's short-term burst might not match her former Evil Fire Phoenix state, but in prolonged combat, she far surpassed her past self.

The flames within her body were like unending life force—vast and majestic—capable of even accelerating soul power cultivation.

Retracting her martial soul, Ma Xiaotao descended back to the ground. Her pretty face carried an excited smile as she eagerly wanted to embrace the person she loved and share her changes.

However, after scanning her surroundings, Ma Xiaotao froze—Yuhao was gone.

Only Tang Ya remained, still in the midst of absorption, and judging by her state, it would continue for quite some time.

"You're looking for Huo Yuhao, right?" Youyou spoke up. "He consumed the Fiery Apricot Delicate疏 and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and jumped into the spring to refine their medicinal power. Don't worry—he'll be fine."

Hearing Youyou speak, Ma Xiaotao's heart jumped, understanding immediately. She also recalled the academy records—Tang San had achieved immunity to water and fire by relying on these two immortal herbs.

Suppressing her excitement for now, Ma Xiaotao thanked Youyou, then sat cross-legged not far from Tang Ya, quietly waiting.
