Chapter 308 Reshape the body
The morning sun shone through the treetops and sprinkled into this medium-sized courtyard. Xiao Yixian, Qinglin and Ziyan were sitting in the bamboo pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, enjoying the tranquility of the morning.
The gate of the courtyard was gently pushed open, and Xiao Ling appeared at the door. His body was still straight, his face was calm, but there was a trace of difference in his eyes, as if he was tired from a sleepless night.
The three women's eyes almost simultaneously turned to Xiao Ling who had just stepped into the courtyard, and Qing Lin even waved her little hand at him playfully.
Xiao Ling walked along the bluestone path. In the flower beds on both sides of the road, flowers were blooming in the morning light. His footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.
He walked through the flower garden and came to the bamboo pavilion, where he naturally sat down next to Little Medical Fairy.
"Xiao Ling, why do you smell like Han Yue?" When Xiao Ling sat down, Zi Yan suddenly wrinkled her cute little nose, as if she smelled something, and her tone was teasing.
When Xiao Yixian and Qinglin heard this, their expressions suddenly became a little strange. Xiao Ling had not returned for the whole night, and now he was carrying Han Yue's scent, which made it easy to guess what happened last night.
Xiao Ling's face froze slightly, and he looked a little embarrassed. He thought he had cleaned it carefully enough, but he didn't expect that Zi Yan, the clever one, still found it. He muttered to himself, this girl is really talking about something else.
"Hehe, it seems you really didn't get enough rest last night. You don't look as energetic as usual today." The Little Medical Fairy chuckled, with a hint of teasing in her tone.
Qinglin stood aside, her fair little hands gently covering her mouth, a smile flashing in her eyes, but she maintained a smile politely.
Zi Yan seemed to realize that she might have said something she shouldn't have, and quickly looked away, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Xiao Ling smiled helplessly. He understood that Xiao Yixian was referring to his meeting with Han Yue last night. Although she was not really angry, she dared to tease him like this. Xiao Ling thought, I have to teach her a lesson tonight.
Xiao Ling silently made a note of this in his heart, then he turned to Qing Lin and asked, "Qing Lin, your strength has reached Dou Huang Nine Stars. It is a difficult hurdle to go from Dou Huang to Dou Zong. How have you been practicing recently?"
Qing Lin's voice was clear and pleasant. She answered, "It will take some time. If you have the opportunity to practice in seclusion, a breakthrough should not be a problem. But if you practice step by step, it may take longer."
"I see. I just happen to know that there is an energy pool over at the Tianmu Mountains. It might be helpful for you to break through to Dou Zong." Xiao Ling nodded slightly and continued, "I need to stay at the Han family for a few days to take care of some things. When you are ready, let your sister Xiao Yixian take you there this afternoon."
After that, Xiao Ling took out a few exquisite pill bottles from his arms, handed them to the Little Medical Immortal, and said, "A large amount of pure energy has accumulated at the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool in the Tianmu Mountains, but there is fire poison there, which cannot be absorbed directly. The aboriginal inhabitants of the Tianmu Mountains, the Gold-Eating Rat Clan, their patriarch, has accumulated fire poison in his body from practicing at the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool for a long time. You use these pills that can cure the fire poison in exchange for the opportunity for Qinglin to enter the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool to practice."
Xiao Ling took out five kinds of elixirs, all of which he collected from the remains of Turtle Spirit Venerable. They were sixth-grade elixirs that could cure fire poison. Although the grade of a single bottle was not high, when used in combination, they could almost eliminate most of the fire poison that affected Dou Zong level.
If the fire poison at the bottom of the Tianshan Blood Pool was indeed very strong, then the leader of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan would not have been able to hold on until now.
Then, Xiao Ling took out another pill bottle and handed it to Qing Lin, saying, "This contains the Fire Sealing Pill. After taking it, a wisp of Fallen Heart Flame will be produced in the body. You have also practiced in the Tianfen Qi Training Tower, so you should be familiar with this Fallen Heart Flame and should be able to use it easily. These pills are enough for you to practice to Dou Zong level in the Tianshan Blood Pool."
Qing Lin naturally had no objection to Xiao Ling's thoughtful arrangements, and Xiao Yixiang also expressed her agreement.
After Xiao Ling told Xiao Yixian the exact location of the Tianshan Blood Pool, the figures of Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo also appeared.
"Congratulations, Xiao Ling. Now that you have refined an eighth-grade elixir, you have successfully entered the ranks of eighth-grade alchemists..." said Lord Skyfire with a smile.
"To be able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age, you are indeed much better than I was back then. An eighth-grade alchemist will not be your limit." Yao Chen also nodded slightly with a gratified smile on his face, but his expression seemed a little more uncomfortable than usual.
Xiao Ling just smiled and accepted the congratulations from Skyfire Venerable and Yao Chen. He noticed the expressions on their faces that seemed to be full of worries, and he understood the purpose of their coming to him, probably to ask him to help refine the body.
Xiao Ling coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere: "Since you are all here, let's talk straight. I know what you are thinking. Since I can refine the Bone Melting Blood Pill, then it is not a problem for me to help you refine the body. Although I have only refined one pill so far, since I succeeded once, the second time should be no problem."
Yao Chen maintained his usual demeanor and did not speak directly. He just smiled and nodded, as if to say, "You know."
Yao Tianhuo seemed a little excited. He rubbed his palms together and said with a hint of urgency: "When do we start? I have been a soul for thousands of years and I can't wait to have a new body."
Seeing this, Xiao Ling paused for a moment and then said, "With the materials in my hand, it is not difficult to help you refine a body. However, these materials may not be able to help you recover to your peak strength."
He paused and continued, "Senior Tianhuo, your situation is not a big problem. Using the body you had when you were alive, plus the materials I have now, even if I can't restore it to my peak level, it shouldn't be too far off."
"However, Master Yao, if I use the materials I have, even if they are the best, I will not be able to help you recover to your peak. Even after resurrection, your cultivation level may be quite different from the peak of Dou Zun when you were alive." There was a hint of apology in Xiao Ling's tone.
Yao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and responded casually: "What you said does make some sense. Then why don't you tell me what your plan is?"
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and began to explain his plan: "So I plan to help Senior Tianhuo refine his body first. Later, after collecting more suitable materials, I will help you refine your body. In this way, you can achieve a higher level of cultivation after you obtain a physical body."
He paused, and continued, "With Senior Tianhuo's strength to restore his body, when I make a name for myself in Zhongzhou, and we will go to Xingyun Pavilion later, with such strength, it shouldn't take much time to find better materials for refining the body. One or two years at most, what do you think?"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Yao Chen, his eyes full of sincerity. In Xiao Ling's opinion, it would be a pity if Yao Chen was in a hurry to revive now.
After all, when he gets the reward from the Ancient Clan in the future and uses the body of a Dou Sheng and the blood of a ninth-level monster to refine his body, Yao Chen should be able to successfully break through to the Dou Sheng realm. That would be much more cost-effective than recovering to Dou Zun's strength now.
Yao Tianhuo naturally agreed directly. He smiled and said, "Haha, I naturally have no other opinions. Being a spirit body is too uncomfortable. As long as I can regain my physical body, I can accept it anyway."
After a moment of contemplation, Yao Chen agreed to Xiao Ling's proposal. He slowly said, "Since you have a plan, then I'll follow your plan. Anyway, I don't really care about the time."
Yao Chen also had his own thoughts on Xiao Ling's proposal. He understood that using the materials Xiao Ling had now would definitely not allow him to recover to his peak state. And even if he recovered his physical body now, it would not be of much use.
With Yao Tianhuo restored to Dou Zun strength, Xiao Ling would not encounter any danger when traveling in Zhongzhou. It would be most cost-effective to wait for a while until there is a better body to refine a new body.
Yao Chen continued, "Even if I were to be resurrected now, it would still take a lot of time to cultivate. It would be better to wait for a few days. When I am resurrected, my cultivation level will definitely be higher than what it would be after cultivating for a while after being resurrected now."
Seeing that the two agreed to his plan, Xiao Ling also showed a relaxed smile, "Haha, in that case, let's not delay any further. I will refine the body for Senior Tianhuo first. Yao Lao, you can come and watch the process, so that I can have some experience when I refine the body for you later."
Both old men nodded without objection.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian greeted the other two and entered a training room, followed closely by Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo's two soul bodies. ...
After entering the training room, Xiao Ling quickly set up a formation that could both conceal his aura and have a certain defensive function. After all, reviving the body is not a trivial matter, and he must go all out to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Then, he waved his hand gently, and a body slowly landed in the center of the training room. This was the body of the Skyfire Venerable. Unlike the original body that was only bones, the body was now covered with flesh and blood, and looked like a person who had just died.
These pieces of flesh and blood were carefully cultivated by Xiao Ling using his own abilities, and this process took a lot of his time and effort.
Although this body is currently just an empty shell and its strength cannot match that of Skyfire Reverend's peak state when he was alive, Xiao Ling believes that it can at least be comparable to the bodies of those one-star Dou Zun level people who have just died.
More importantly, this body, which was re-cultivated with active flesh and blood based on the bones of the Skyfire Venerable during his lifetime, is a perfect match for the Skyfire Venerable. This is definitely the most suitable body for the Skyfire Venerable to revive, and it also greatly increases the success rate of this body refining.
"Xiao Ling, your method is really unique. It can make my bones grow flesh and blood again. It's amazing!" The figure of Skyfire Venerable appeared beside Xiao Ling. He looked at the body in the center of the training room, his eyes flashing with surprise.
Yao Chen also nodded slightly. Although his expression remained calm, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes. Unfortunately, his original body had long since disappeared, and now he could only find other people's bodies to realize his resurrection.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath. He knew that the next step was crucial. He turned to Skyfire Venerable and spoke in a firm and calm tone:
"Senior Tianhuo, we have to proceed step by step from now on. You should first take this bone-growing and blood-melting pill. This pill will guide your flesh, blood and soul to better merge. When I am ready, I will tell you when to inject your soul power into this body."
Xiao Ling's eyes were already very focused at this time, this was his first time to revive a soul body, and he couldn't make any mistakes.
Venerable Skyfire nodded seriously, his usual cynical attitude completely subsided at this moment, replaced by a serious expression and a hint of expectation.
Xiao Ling carefully took out an exquisite jade box from his arms and threw it lightly. The jade box drew a graceful arc in the air and landed steadily in Yao Tianhuo's hands.
Then he immediately said, "Senior Tianhuo, take this bone-growing and blood-melting pill, and then give me a bit of your soul power. When I let you enter my body, you must move quickly without any hesitation!"
Yao Tianhuo took the jade box and swallowed the pill without hesitation. His face was full of seriousness, and his voice was low and firm: "I understand!"
Then, he raised his other hand, lightly touched his forehead with his fingertips, pressed and pulled, and pulled out an almost invisible soul thread. Although this thread was small, it contained a powerful soul force. It slowly floated towards Xiao Ling and was controlled by Xiao Ling's soul force.
Then, Xiao Ling released the soul power between his eyebrows. His movements were gentle and precise, controlling the body of the Skyfire Venerable, allowing it to slowly float in the air. He carefully pulled the soul filament and slowly introduced it into the body of the Skyfire Venerable.
Xiao Ling had simulated the method of refining the body countless times in his mind. He quickly took out a jade bottle from the ring, which was filled with purple-red blood. The blood exuded an astonishingly violent energy fluctuation. This was the seventh-level blood of a magical beast called Purple Shadow Wolf King that Xiao Ling collected from the Black Emperor Sect's treasure house.
Xiao Ling gently squeezed the jade bottle, and the blood inside shattered like a blooming flower. As he waved his hand, the blood was evenly sprinkled on the body of the Skyfire Venerable who was floating in front of him.
As soon as the blood touched the corpse, a "hissing" sound was heard. Under the erosion of the blood, the skin of the corpse began to rot rapidly. Although this scene was a bit horrifying, it was an essential step in the refining process.
Seeing this, a ball of brilliant three-colored flame immediately rose from Xiao Ling's palm, like a warm cloak, tightly wrapping the body of Skyfire Lord.
The flames licked the corpse, and the skin that had been eroded by blood began to gradually recover its vitality as the blood seeped into it, like a dead tree coming back to life, showing new vitality.
As the essence and blood continued to seep in, every inch of the corpse's skin began to undergo subtle changes, as if a long-dormant life was being awakened...
As the essence and blood slowly seeped in, about half an hour later, the tightly closed eyes of "Skyfire Lord" suddenly opened.
In the originally empty eyes, a glimmer of life began to flicker. Of course, this was also thanks to the effect of Yao Tianhuo's soul.
At the moment when the eyes of "Skyfire Venerable" suddenly opened, Xiao Ling immediately shouted: "Senior Skyfire, come in quickly!"
Yao Tianhuo, who had been waiting on the side, was shocked when he heard Xiao Ling's order, and then he rushed towards the corpse like an arrow from a bow. He passed through the burning strange fire and pounced on the corpse that was glowing red.
Just when his soul was about to touch the corpse, a strange dark red ripple suddenly emanated from between Yao Tianhuo's eyebrows, and the ripple spread as quickly as lightning, spreading throughout his body.
"puff!
As the dark red ripples spread, Yao Tianhuo's soul collided violently with the corpse. This collision did not bounce his soul away, but instead slowly merged into it.
In an instant, the entire corpse was covered by dark red ripples. The corpse that was corroded by blood began to grow new flesh buds and directly began to reshape the body. This was the effect of the Bone Growing and Blood Melting Pill.
"Senior Tianhuo, hold on. Next, you have to regain control of this body under the burning of the strange fire, and then you can truly be reborn from the ashes!" There was a hint of seriousness in Xiao Ling's voice.
After saying this, Xiao Ling's mind moved, and the three-colored flames surrounding the corpse rose violently, burning the newly grown flesh and blood once again.
Although these original flesh and blood were born from the body of Skyfire Venerable, after being baptized by the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, the newly grown flesh and blood are undoubtedly more suitable for Skyfire Venerable's current state.
Under the cover of the dark red waves, the flesh and blood began to grow again, and the growth rate was getting faster and faster. Every time it was reshaped, Yao Tianhuo's soul and the new body became more and more compatible. Although this process was painful, it was also Yao Tianhuo's rebirth from the ashes...
In the secret room, Xiao Ling continuously inputted Dou Qi to maintain the stable burning of the three strange fires. If an ordinary person were to be continuously burned by these three strange fires, the scene would be unimaginable.
But the pain on the face of the corpse that was being reshaped seemed to have gradually become numb due to the long-term torture, and the feeling of pain also eased a lot.
After two days of burning and regeneration, the corpse finally completed the process of reshaping flesh and blood and generating skin.
The newly formed body was almost the same as the previous soul body of Skyfire Venerable. It seemed like a carefully carved work of art, recreating the style of Skyfire Venerable.
Moreover, as the new body gradually took shape, a vast aura began to breed and grow within this body.
Especially Xiao Ling, who was standing nearby, could clearly feel how powerful this aura was, far beyond his current self.
