After following Dugu Bu, they all arrived at the Spring of Ice and Fire. It was already morning. Dugu Bu looked at them with his cold eyes, "You two kids, are you really ready to my test ?"
The two nodded immediately, Dugu Bu raised his hand towards them and enough green steam was released to surround only the two and not spread in another direction.
(Poison resistance ability is being activated)
The two looked at Dugu bu and did not move. Tang san spoke first, "This is the first poison. Give us the second poison. This poison is trivial and useless."
Zhang Yong spoke, "This poison is really nothing special, it is very ordinary."
Excitement rose in Dugu Bu's blood. These two did not consume anything yet were able to withstand his poison, so he immediately decided to move on to the second poison. "As for the second poison, let it bite you." Dugu Bu turned his palm over and a small green snake with jade eyes appeared in it. He threw it directly on the two , it jumped and bit Chang Yong's hand first and then jumped to Tang San's hand but caught it with two fingers. The snake tried to bite but it seemed as if its teeth were bouncing off, unable to penetrate the skin of his hand.
Tang San spoke, "Old man, you are truly merciless. This is a nine-part smelling snake. Once it bites you in three-quarters of an hour, you will turn into pus. Even though it is small, it is extremely poisonous."
As soon as the snake bit Zhang Yong, his hand turned dark green and then returned to normal in a short period of time. He heard the system's notification.
(Poison Fire and Ice Blood ability activated)
'I understand, fight poison with poison'
Tang San continued, "Senior, if we can withstand its venom, how about giving this snake to us."
Dugu lost the ability to speak for a moment, then turned to Zhang Yong, "What is this? How could you cure this poison so quickly?"
Zhang Yong cleared his throat slightly, "We have our secrets, so how about you give the snake to us?"
Dugu Bu snorted coldly, "You two are freaks, well if you two not dead then why don't you take it?"
At that moment, the snake was able to bite and its fangs pierced Tang San's hand. Tang San's arm immediately turned green before returning to normal as well.
Dugu Bu looked so stunned by the two monsters in front of him that he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "How did you do this?"
Zhang Yong spoke, "Senior Dugu, don't tell me that you intend to go back on your words, this snake is ours now."
Tang San smiled, "Senior Dugu, third test first."
Dugu's expression changed to become serious and the Nine Soul Rings rushed down his feet but did not release the crushing pressure that was seen last time
Dugu Bu's nails suddenly extended long and sharp, radiating a green light like jade. "You must understand that even I cannot control this poison, so once it is released, it is irreversible. You can both retreat as long as there is time."
The two nodded and walked forward and raised their arms. Dugu asked them again if they were sure but they insisted
Dugu Pu's nails pierced the two's arms, and their arms had already turned black. Tang San took a few steps back and sat down.
Zhang Yong grabbed the injury area and sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes
He activated the Five Elements Technique to refine the poison, but the speed of the poison spreading was more than he could handle
Immediately, the five elements began to rotate, forming a tornado
Blood had already begun to flow from Zhang Yong's mouth and his body had already turned black
'shit! I can't continue like this."
(Poison resistance activated)
(Warning! The poison level exceeds the poison resistance capacity)
(Poisonous Ice and Fire Blood are activated)
(Warning! Poison level is still high)
The Tree of Life began to spread its golden light, supporting the Five Elements Technique. At the same time, a black aura emanated from Zhang Yong's heart that was about to tear his heart apart from the inside, supporting the poison. It quickly turned into a two-on-two competition.
'shit!!!!'
The mist began to emerge from Zhang Yong visibly outside and blood began to emerge from his mouth, eyes, and nose
Noticing this, Dugu Bu quickly rushed towards Zhang Yong and placed his hand on his shoulder, inserting his energy to examine him before his hand burned and froze at the same time. His hand was cold on the outside but hot on the inside, "How could this be possible?"
On the other hand, Tang San had unleashed the Blue Silver Grass, Spider Spears, and Clear Heaven Hammer, thus surviving the test.
When he looked at Zhang Yong, he hurried to his side, "Old Dugu, what did you do to him?"
Dugu Bo's eyes remained fixed on Zhang Yong, he didn't know what was going on with that. Zhang Yong was coughing up black blood.
After seeing that Zhang Yong was starting to get worse every second Tang San postponed the questions, then put his hands and pressed on Zhang Yong's back and began to circulate his Mysterious Heaven Technique inside him.
The balance tipped directly in favor of the Five Elements Technique and the Tree of Life, and the system window lit up
(Extraneous energy detected assisting the host)
(Permission is required to obtain the intake card)
(Intake card obtained, in use)
(The host obtained the supreme skill "Mystic Heaven Technique")
(The poison is being converted into internal energy)
(The alchemy physique of ice and fire has risen to the fourth level)
Zhang Yong slowly opened his eyes and looked around, Tang San was still channeling his internal energy into him
Tang San then returned his hand and exhaled softly
Zhang Yong spoke, "Tang San...what happened?"
Tang San slowly stood up, "You have lost control of the poison within your body, fortunately it still has not reached your internal organs."
Zhang Yong quickly stood up and Dugu Pu was still watching with an uncertain expression
Zhang Yong looked towards Dugu Pu, "Senior Dugu, it seems that I will need some time to settle down. Thanks to you, my soul rank has increased again."
With this said, Zhang Yong closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy around his body, there were purple fragments of poison spread through his body and he began to slowly attract them towards his dantian.
He unexpectedly entered his Spirit Sea, but instead of the white void, it became a dark blue color as if he evolved and began to look around, "This... looks different."
"I believe that this Empress is indebted to you for her assistance."
Zhang Yong turned to the Empress, still smiling, "This was our promise to you."
A light but proud laugh appeared on the Empress's face, "I didn't expect this half-soul beast to have so many abilities." The Empress turned her gaze outward across the giant screen.
Zhang Yong slowly scratched his face, "Well... he is from a non-peaceful world unlike me, and he also has experience in many fields."
The Empress turned to Zhang Yong with a puzzled and curious expression, "I remember you said you were from another world, and I think the reason you told me this is because no one can meet me except you and thus your secret is safe."
Zhang Yong nodded awkwardly, the way the Empress spoke was more like he had her captive, and that was technically what had happened, taking away her freedom, her body, her soul bone and soul ring, and imprisoning her with him in his body.
The Empress crossed her arms, "Don't worry, it's not as if the situation will be different, but are there other worlds, and if so, do you intend to visit them?"
Zhang Yong nodded, "Yes, there, I will finish my pending business with this world. Once I leave, I may never come back."
Zhang Yong had already thought about his plan a long time ago
For a moment, the Empress felt as if there were higher horizons to reach. "That's good. Compared to staying in the extreme north , traveling through these realms seems very enjoyable."
The Empress turned around for a moment and continued, "Staying here isn't that bad either."
Zhang Yong scratched his head, thinking, 'What's wrong with her?' Does she want to go or stay?'
Zhang Yong turned towards the screen and spoke, "Okay, I have to leave now."
After saying that, Zhang Yong disappeared from his soul sea
When he came out, Tang San was sitting on the ground, panting hard
Zhang Yong slowly walked towards him, "What happened?"
Tang San looked at zhang yong "We will stay here for the next few days to help Old freak with the poison."
Zhang Yong was immediately happy. This meant that they were no longer in danger, but this was for a while. He knew that the mission would be completed when his granddaughter was cured. "Isn't this good?"
Tang San stood up and dusted off his clothes, "Supposedly yes, it's rare to find a place like this. It's among the Three Great Places, but... if we consume any more herbs, we might explode."
In this clip, Zhang Yong said, "then it can't can't be used ?"
Tang San showed a smiling expression. "Indeed..." He pressed his storage belt and out came boxes and bottles made of gold, silver, copper, iron, and jade. "I plan to use some of them to develop my hidden weapons."
Zhang Yong bought something from the system and threw it towards Tang San, "Take this and swallow it."
Tang San caught what Zhang Yong threw. When he glanced at it, it was a blue-colored pill. It was a Mystic Water Pill. Now that the shop had reached the fourth level, there were three new elixirs, Double Strength, Mystic Water, and a third one. Tang San spoke, "What is this?"
"Just eat it"
With the pill in his mouth, he sat cross-legged
He started meditating
At that time Dugu Bo came with what could be food and water
He looked at the contemplative Tang San, looking angry, "This kid, where is my medicine?"
Zhang Yong stood directly in front of him, "Senior Dugu, please do not disturb Tang San, making your medicine requires some preparation, including restoring his energy."
Dugu Bu looked angrily at the two before straightening his expression and putting the water and food aside, "A child called Zhang Yong right? How about you become my disciple?"
Zhang Yong looked at Dugu Po for a second. If it had been before he joined a partner, he might have agreed. However, ties couldn't be broken easily. "I politely decline. I'm already joined to a partner and I have teachers."
Dugu Po raised his hand and spoke, "Having a personal teacher is more useful. As far as I know, none of them personally guide you."
"I politely decline, though."
Suddenly a voice came from behind it and it was Tang San's, "Big monster, your medicine is still not ready, and I need a few things."
Tang San stepped beside Zhang Yong but Zhang Yong immediately jumped away
"What's the matter?" Tang San said, surprised at his being so far away.
Zhang Yong immediately held his nose, "You smell, man!"
Tang San took a look at his body and it was covered in a black, smelly mucus, "Ah yes, I will take a shower later, most importantly old stranger I want you to get..."
Tang San began making requests to Dugu Pu, including medicine-making tools and a copper cauldron
As soon as they had finished this discussion, Dugu Bo left to get the materials
Tang San looked at Zhang Yong, "Zhang Yong, will you help me make the poison together? You have the skill and master it, it won't take long."
Zhang Yong nodded in agreement, learning to make poison might benefit him one day, so he figured there was no harm in experimenting.
That same night, Dugu Pu brought what Tang San requested
Zhang Yong used his fire to support the cauldron to make medicine, and like this, they spent their days making medicine, and when Dugu Pu was not around, they went to cultivate in the spring of ice and fire.
During this time, Zhang Yong noticed that the Memory of eternal ice skill was progressing steadily little by little every day, which made him want more. He spent almost all his points to purchase a new skill, "Seven-Colored Hellfire." If it were not for his lack of points and knowing that he might not be able to return to the pond, he would have purchased "Eternal Flame" skill
With Tang San, he began to discover poison skills and their differences. Some could be used for healing and some for killing. In the end, it depended on who was using them.
They spent about three months studying every plant in the spring before they started making the medicine. They had to know what plants were present to make sure they had all the requirements.
All the days passed similarly, making medicine, and training at the pond
In the blink of an eye, six months passed, during which the teachers visited twice to check on them, but as soon as they saw that the relationship between the three was harmonious, they felt a little relief, and they reminded them that after the end of the period of "learning" from Dugu bu, they would return to studying at the new Shrek Academy.
Although six months had passed, Zhang Yong had only regained two levels. Although the spiritual energy in the place had multiplied his training speed ten times, the reason was the laws of the world on Zhang Yong's body.
Starting from the fortieth rank, it becomes difficult to train and absorb energy, and this is a law that applies to everyone
At the same time, Dugu Bu instructed them on martial spirits, instead of learning from books, it would be good to learn personally from someone who had cultivation experience up to the titled Douluo stage.
