Li Xun and Dugu Bo were in the midst of deepening their relationship, and this wasn't exactly a major secret. Eventually, when he engaged in battles, it would naturally be revealed to others.
"Let me put it this way," Li Xun pondered for a moment.
"Fire and ice attributes no longer pose a threat to my plants because my Martial Soul has gained Ice and Fire Immunity."
"Moreover, my own Soul Power is infused with both extreme heat and extreme cold attributes, though it's not directly manifested in my Martial Soul or skills."
"But whenever I wish, I can achieve the same effect by altering the attributes of my internal Soul Power."
This ability was granted by two Immortal Herbs, something Tang San had mentioned when he obtained them.
However, after consuming the Immortal Herbs, it seemed as though Tang San had forgotten about this ability, never utilizing the extreme heat and cold within his Soul Power.
As a result, his Blue Silver Grass had always been known for the toxins of its attached Spirit Rings.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression turned to one of astonishment. "Does that mean your plant-type Martial Soul no longer has any obvious weaknesses?"
Li Xun nodded with a smile. "Not only that, but I might also be immune to all kinds of poisons in this world."
"You're immune to toxins as well?"
Dugu Bo quickly coughed lightly to mask his shock. "Young man, don't get too arrogant. Remember, a Soul Master's strength isn't solely dependent on attributes."
He hadn't expected Li Xun to not only counter Soul Masters with ice and fire elements but also to neutralize his own Poison Art.
However, as a Titled Douluo, he naturally couldn't show weakness in front of a junior.
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Dugu."
Li Xun wasn't so arrogant as to think he could challenge Dugu Bo solely based on his toxin immunity.
As a Soul Master's level increased, their internal Soul Power grew stronger. The sheer force of a Titled Douluo's Soul Power attack was something he couldn't withstand at his current level.
"Good that you understand."
Seeing Li Xun's serious expression, Dugu Bo nodded with a smile.
"Elder Dugu, could you take out the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma? While the medicinal effects are still strong within me, I'll help you refine a Foundation Solidifying Detoxification Pill."
Li Xun grinned.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo carefully retrieved the herb from his Soul Guiding Device and handed it to Li Xun.
Taking the herb, Li Xun pulled out a small knife and made a swift cut on his arm. A two-inch-long wound instantly appeared.
Due to the size of the wound, blood began to pour out continuously.
Li Xun quickly used a prepared jade bottle to collect the blood.
This operation made Dugu Bo's eye twitch, and he opened his mouth as if to say something. But then he saw the wound on Li Xun's arm healing at a visible speed.
"This…"
Dugu Bo's heart shook.
This trip to the Yin Yang Well had brought him too many surprises from Li Xun.
He had initially thought this was the extent of Li Xun's abilities, only to suddenly realize that Li Xun likely had even more talents yet to be revealed.
"Innate Full Soul Power, vast knowledge, immunity to ice, fire, and poison, and now this healing ability…"
Dugu Bo continuously calculated Li Xun's potential in his mind.
Any one of these talents alone would be enough for a Soul Master to stand out among their peers. Yet, Li Xun possessed all of them.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has truly found a treasure."
Dugu Bo gazed intently at Li Xun, who was busy working. He was certain that Li Xun would inevitably become a Titled Douluo in the future.
He was aware of the young man from the Blue Lightning Tyrant School pursuing Yan Yan.
However, when it came to his granddaughter's romantic affairs, he didn't want to interfere too much. After all, the younger generation would find their own happiness.
However, he now felt that such matters were best left to the elders to handle.
Because that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant School didn't seem very reliable.
When he returned, he would have Yan Yan and Li Xun spend more time together.
Li Xun's alchemy process went smoothly.
He simply crushed the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma, added a few neutral herbs, mixed in a bit of his blood, and then formed it into a pill using starch.
Finally, he dehydrated it using the intense heat of the Yin Yang Well, and the pill was ready.
"Good job, you're quite fast at alchemy."
Dugu Bo, with a beaming smile, took the pill Li Xun handed to him.
He had been a bit distracted earlier and didn't quite catch the details of Li Xun's alchemy process.
But being able to complete the pill in such a short time suggested that Li Xun had exceptional talent in this area.
"Grandpa Dugu, take one of these pills every seven days for three months, and it will neutralize the toxins in your body."
"However, this pill isn't suitable for Sister Yan. In a couple of days, when the medicinal effects in my body weaken, I'll refine another pill for her."
Seeing Dugu Bo's delighted expression, Li Xun smiled and said, "Grandpa Dugu, if you have nothing else to do, I'll start collecting the Immortal Herbs here."
"But I'll leave the roots behind. Given the environment of the Yin Yang Well, these Immortal Herbs should be able to grow back in a few years."
He didn't want to act like a locust and strip everything bare.
It wasn't that he was feeling particularly benevolent.
But if nothing unexpected happened, he would likely only use the Immortal Herbs of the Yin Yang Well this once.
It would take who knows how long for these herbs to grow back. Leaving some roots behind would be a pleasant surprise and a hope for future visitors.

"Let's go, I'll join you." Dugu Bo quickly stood up. "Is your Soul Guiding Device enough? Do you need me to give you one? Mine can even store living creatures."
Dugu Bo took out a small pouch and shook it.
"No need, you can keep it for yourself." Li Xun knew that the small pouch in Dugu Bo's hand was the famous Wishful Cosmos Pouch. But he still extended his wrist and shook the golden bracelet he wore.
Dugu Bo thought for a moment, then awkwardly smiled and put the Wishful Cosmos Pouch away.
Indeed, one couldn't compare luxury items with the wealthiest families.
"Let's go, I want to see what mysteries are here." Dugu Bo hurriedly took a few steps forward.
He had been guarding this place for years, and today he was determined to see how many treasures he had missed.
"Grandpa Dugu, this one is called the Marvelous Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum. Its effect is..." Li Xun pointed to a fluffy chrysanthemum and began explaining to Dugu Bo.
"Such a miraculous effect!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in amazement.
"Grandpa Dugu, this is called the Qiluo Tulip..." Li Xun pointed to a pale yellow tulip.
Dugu Bo clapped his hands. "I always knew it was extraordinary!"
"This one is called the Narcissus Jade Bone..." Li Xun pointed again.
"Good stuff!" Dugu Bo smiled.
"This is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower..." Li Xun stepped forward and plucked it directly.
"Not bad..." Dugu Bo nodded, his smile fading slightly.
"This is the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid..." Li Xun glanced briefly at Dugu Bo's expression.
"Good."
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.
"Lovesick Heartbreak Red."
"..."
Dugu Bo fell silent.
He felt he shouldn't have come along.
It turned out that for so many years, he had been guarding these miraculous Immortal Herbs without even realizing it. If it weren't for Li Xun's explanation today, who knows who might have benefited from them after his death.
"Grandpa Dugu, this Immortal Herb is called Crimson Swan Kiss."
Just as Dugu Bo was filled with regret, Li Xun pointed to a crystal-clear, snow-white plant.
"This Immortal Herb has no nourishing properties."
Li Xun took out two pieces of cloth he had prepared in advance from his Soul Guiding Device and wrapped his hands tightly.
He then moved to the upwind side before carefully plucking the Crimson Swan Kiss: "Its effect is to amplify toxins by hundreds or even thousands of times."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he gazed intently at the herb, which resembled a swan's neck: "Kid, if I take this Immortal Herb, wouldn't I become invincible?"
His Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom was already one of the most potent toxins in the world. The thought of amplifying it by hundreds or thousands of times was beyond his imagination.
"Grandpa Dugu, don't even think about being invincible. I'm afraid that if you take this Immortal Herb and stand downwind, even a whiff of its pollen would make it impossible for me to collect your remains."
