When Jiang Xiaofeng was brought into the secret realm by the guards, he was completely stunned.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Heavens, there's such a terrifying place in the Douluo Continent. Not only is there the Ice-Fire Dual-Eye, but also the Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossoms. This is truly heaven helping me! Hahaha!!!"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the immortal herbs in front of him, and tears welled up at the corners of his eyes.
The Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass grows at the center of the Cold Extreme Yin Spring. It has an octagonal shape, with the center sparkling like ice crystals with tiny flower buds. This rare and poisonous herb can chill the heart and paralyze the body. Within a ten-meter radius, the cold air is overwhelming, and prolonged exposure will cause a lethal cold poison.
The Fiery Apricot Blossoms grow at the center of the Scorching Yang Spring. It is completely fire-red, and its characteristics are the opposite of the Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass. This top-tier fiery poison can cause severe injury if touched, tearing the skin apart.
These two herbs need to be consumed together, complementing each other, to avoid causing catastrophic harm to Jiang Xiaofeng's body. By taking these two, his physical body will be further enhanced and he will gain dual immunity to both fire and ice.
With this effect, Jiang Xiaofeng could then proceed to continue refining his body within the Ice-Fire Dual-Eye.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Wonderful, truly mysterious."
The guard beside him looked confused.
Guard: "Holy Son, what's going on...?"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "I'm just too excited. Fortunately, the Poison Douluo didn't recognize these immortal herbs. Now, they are all mine! You all guard the secret realm well. No matter what happens next, don't act unless I tell you to. Understood?"
Guard: "Understood!"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Very good. Now, all of you, step back!"
Guard: "Yes!"
With a dozen Soul Douluo acting as guards and several Title Douluo secretly protecting him, Jiang Xiaofeng was effectively surrounded by an iron wall.
He looked at the other immortal herbs around him but decided to leave them for now. The Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossoms were his top priority.
Before taking them, Jiang Xiaofeng needed to adjust his breathing and enter the peak condition to consume these herbs.
An hour later, Jiang Xiaofeng opened his eyes.
Jiang Xiaofeng exhaled deeply.
The Immortal Body technique within his body had already begun to operate rapidly.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossoms, each in his hands.
Instantly, one hand felt like it was burning, while the other felt like it had plunged into an ice cave.
Had it not been for mastering the first great realm, he might have been unable to harvest these two immortal herbs.
As soon as Jiang Xiaofeng held both herbs, he could feel the resistance coming from both.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Sorry, but for my strength, you must be sacrificed."
Saying this, he simultaneously bit into both herbs, chewing relentlessly.
During this process, Jiang Xiaofeng felt like his mouth was no longer his own—alternating between cold and hot.
Once he had swallowed them completely, he began to run the Immortal Body technique madly.
At this moment, his body kept changing colors: first freezing, then turning fiery red like flames. Despite this terrifying torment, Jiang Xiaofeng did not utter a sound.
Compared to the pain from his past life, this was child's play.
The guards around him were closely watching Jiang Xiaofeng. They could feel the chaotic aura emanating from him.
Guard 1: "What should we do? Is the Holy Son going to be okay?"
Guard 2: "It's unlikely, since there are Title Douluo elders around. Even if something goes wrong, they will intervene."
Guard 3: "The Holy Son gave orders—unless he asks for help, we should not act. Just watch over him."
Several hours passed. Jiang Xiaofeng remained still in his meditative position, but the changes in his body slowly weakened until they finally disappeared.
Jiang Xiaofeng slowly opened his eyes. The Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossoms were truly top-tier immortal herbs. Having consumed them, his body had now gained immunity to both fire and ice, and his physical strength had increased even further.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "As expected, these are legendary herbs. Just consuming them has enhanced my defenses to match what I had before. Now, what will happen when I enter the Ice-Fire Dual-Eye?"
Stretching his body, Jiang Xiaofeng could feel significant changes from the herbs. Previously, due to the first great realm of the Immortal Body, his skin was like steel, but now, after consuming the herbs, it had returned to a more normal state, significantly improving the side effects left by the first great realm.
No wonder the Ice-Fire Dual-Eye was so important. The Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossoms were products of the Ice-Fire Dual-Eye. The Immortal Body technique was not deceiving him.
Jiang Xiaofeng took off his outer garments, immediately shocking the guards around him.
Someone quickly stepped forward to stop him.
Guard: "Your Highness, you must not!"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Is there a problem?"
Guard: "Of course there is! The Title Douluo elder tested the lake water before. It's terrifying! You mustn't go into the water!"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "That's because he didn't consume those two immortal herbs. Do you think I took them for nothing? Step back. If there's any issue, I will speak. Don't disturb my training!"
The guards were worried, but they could do nothing. If anything went wrong, they would just have to exchange their lives for it.
Under the watchful eyes of the guards, Jiang Xiaofeng slowly walked toward the center of the lake, where the Ice-Fire Dual-Eye converged.
Jiang Xiaofeng needed to immerse his entire body in the water.
At first, there was no feeling due to the effect of the Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossoms, but as time passed, he felt as though his skin was being pricked by needles.
Slowly, the pain intensified.
In the lake, Jiang Xiaofeng began to struggle, but there was no sign of him trying to leave the water.
The guards around him were tense, their eyes locked on Jiang Xiaofeng, afraid of any accidents.
As time passed, blood droplets began to form on Jiang Xiaofeng's skin, but before they could fall, they evaporated quickly.
Inside Jiang Xiaofeng's body, however, it was a different story.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "The power of All Phenomena, first realm, condensing. I need to condense a giant elephant inside my body. What I need to do now is begin the condensation!"
Condensation sounded easy, but in reality, it was extremely difficult.
This giant elephant came from the ancient Heavenly Elephant Clan, a race naturally inclined toward battle, with formidable strength and defense. The Immortal Body technique followed the training methods of the giant elephant clan, making this condensation crucial.
In his previous life, Jiang Xiaofeng spent six months and countless spirit herbs to successfully condense it. But this time, with the help of the Ice-Fire Dual-Eye, Eight-Sided Mysterious Ice Grass, and Fiery Apricot Blossoms, Jiang Xiaofeng found the condensation process much easier.
The rough outline of the giant elephant began to form, and changes in Jiang Xiaofeng's body were also taking place.
Guard: "Be careful, the Holy Son's body seems to be changing!"
However, this process wasn't something that could happen in a day or two—it would take an entire month!
