210: Chapter 210 Half-Saint Remains, Perfect Body
"The materials are basically all here now..."
Hun Tiandi smiled faintly. With a grasp of his hand, a jade bottle appeared in his palm, with a pill the size of a dragon's eye spinning inside it.
A rich medicinal fragrance wafted from it, refreshing the spirit.
"Is this... a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill?" Liu Ling gazed at the pill, astonishment appearing in his eyes as he spoke excitedly.
He had only just consumed an ice spirit cold pill, which was required to refine the Sun True Fire.
"Teacher, this is a Golden Skin and Jade Bone Pill!" Hun Tiandi shook the jade bottle slightly, then flicked his finger, causing it to drift slowly into Elder Dan's hand.
Immediately after, he grasped the pill and took out another jade bottle containing nine drops of purple essence blood, which contained terrifying energy and pressure that permeated the air.
"This is..." The moment the purple essence blood appeared, Feng Qianyou instinctively felt a sense of disgust, as if she were seeing something fundamentally incompatible.
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline within her body roared violently, as if it had seen a mortal enemy.
"Void Ancient Dragon essence blood; this thing is no less valuable than a rare heavenly treasure..." Hun Tiandi grinned. This was the ancient dragon essence blood extracted from that withered corpse back then.
"You are truly bold. If the Void Ancient Dragon Clan knew you possessed this ancient dragon essence blood in the outside world, you would certainly face a manhunt!" Lei Xuanji said indifferently.
"As for the skeleton? Elder Dan, your own Semi-Saint skeleton will suffice!" With a wave of his large sleeve, a pale purple skeleton emerged from the purple ring, faintly emitting a soft glow.
"These materials are all top-tier; they are perfect for forging a body..."
"It should allow the senior to break through from Semi-Saint and reach the true Dou Sheng level..." Liu Ling, who was standing to the side, said thoughtfully.
"It is very difficult!" Elder Dan shook his head. Between a Semi-Saint and a Dou Sheng, there seems to be only a single step, but that distance is enough to make a strong individual spend their entire life trying to cross it.
Looking across the Fighting Qi Continent, only experts at the Dou Sheng level are truly the beings standing at the pinnacle of the continent.
That realm possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
"Since the materials are all here, we can start immediately. If Teacher recovers your strength sooner, then this disciple can lie back and relax sooner, and run rampant across the Central Plains..." Hun Tiandi teased.
"Also, all of you should cultivate diligently. The time left for you is not much!" Hun Tiandi turned his head and said to Lei Xuanji and the others.
He then left with Liu Ling.
Time Tower, deep within the mountain range.
"Teacher, the forging of the body is about to begin. Are you ready to descend upon the Fighting Qi Continent once more?" Hun Tiandi looked at the aged Dan Chenzi, then turned his gaze to Elder Dan and said.
"Yes!" Elder Dan nodded slowly. Even with his composure, ripples stirred in his heart at this moment.
Hun Tiandi waved his sleeve, and the pale purple Semi-Saint skeleton appeared before them. Without any hesitation, he focused his mind, and a wisp of soul flew out, circling around the skeleton.
Hum! Immediately, Hun Tiandi took out another pale golden skeleton, which radiated a pressure even stronger than Elder Dan's original skeleton.
"Teacher, this disciple has prepared a gift for you. I found this Dou Sheng skeleton in the ruins. Since we are going to forge a body, we must forge the most perfect one!" Hun Tiandi's eyes were filled with madness, and he spoke coldly.
"You..." Elder Dan was about to speak, but it felt as if his throat had been grabbed by something.
"Liu Ling, watch how it's done." He looked at Liu Ling, who was standing to the side. Liu Ling nodded hurriedly, knowing that this was a critical moment.
Previously, Elder Dan had helped him refine the ice spirit cold pill; now, it was time for him to contribute.
Afterward, he pushed the pale golden Dou Sheng skeleton toward Liu Ling. Elder Dan moved his finger, and another wisp of soul landed beside Liu Ling.
Elder Dan did not say anything more. He grabbed the wisp of soul beside him and struck it into the skeleton with his palm, forcefully driving the soul inside.
"Be prepared, we begin now!" Hun Tiandi said solemnly.
With a single grasp, two bottles of ancient dragon essence blood appeared. One bottle drifted toward Elder Dan, and one landed in front of Liu Ling.
The purple essence blood flowed within the jade bottles, radiating astonishing energy fluctuations that caused the surrounding space to distort.
This time, for forging a body for Elder Dan, the items he had prepared were all top-tier choices, and the difficulty of the forging would also surpass any previous attempts.
"Crack!" Elder Dan crushed the jade bottle, and the purple essence blood fell onto the pale purple skeleton, immediately emitting bursts of white smoke and a sizzling sound.
The moment it landed on the skeleton, it rapidly spread out, and the pale purple bones became increasingly deep in color, emitting rich energy fluctuations.
Elder Dan flicked his finger, and the pale purple bones floated up. With a flick of his finger, purple flames surged out, enveloping the skeleton.
The ancient dragon essence blood was extremely tyrannical and difficult to fuse perfectly.
One must borrow the power of divine fire to roast every inch of the bones to their depths, allowing the skeleton to truly absorb this energy.
Liu Ling, being an Alchemist, had rich experience in refining pills, but this was his first time refining a person, so he was somewhat excited.
In the Flame Alliance, Liu Ling had naturally joined hands with his teacher, Gu He, to successfully refine pills.
Seeing Elder Dan's technique, he naturally knew what to do.
He struck his soul power into the pale golden skeleton with his palm, crushed the jade bottle, and all nine drops of ancient dragon essence blood landed on the skeleton.
With a wave of his sleeve, golden flames surged out, wrapping around the skeleton to calcine the body.
This roasting process was time-consuming.
It lasted for three full days. The two men slowly opened their eyes. The purple essence blood on the skeletons before them had become dim, no longer as bright as before.
This was because the energy within the essence blood had penetrated deep into the bones under the roasting of the terrifying high temperature.
Elder Dan's original pale purple skeleton had turned deep purple, and the pale golden skeleton in Liu Ling's hands had turned golden yellow.
Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, observing that Liu Ling's fire control technique had reached a state of perfection.
"Since the preliminary stage is complete, we will fuse the two skeletons into one and forge the most perfect body!" Hun Tiandi said calmly.
"A perfect body?" Elder Dan and Liu Ling exchanged a look.
The two skeletons slowly moved closer, shifting up and down. Because of the ancient dragon essence blood and the soul power, the two skeletons did not erupt in confrontation but instead began to fuse on their own.
The Ziwei Heavenly Fire and the Sun True Fire, the two great divine fires, combined to perform the calcination. Seven days passed under the roasting of the flames.
Before them, a purple-gold skeleton burned amidst the raging flames...
"The most perfect body!" Hun Tiandi said slowly.
"Teacher..." Hun Tiandi's expression became solemn as he shouted in a low voice.
Elder Dan nodded slightly. Now was the best opportunity. He poured the Golden Skin and Jade Bone Pill from the jade bottle, swallowed it, and his figure rapidly became ethereal, turning into a bolt of lightning as it charged directly into the purple-gold skeleton.
Bang! The moment Elder Dan's soul entered the skeleton, it trembled violently. Light condensed within the empty eye sockets, and energy of his aura surged forth.
Flesh and blood grew upon the bones; this was the effect of the Golden Skin and Jade Bone Pill.
"Teacher, the next difficult hurdle is one you must overcome yourself!" Watching the flesh and blood wriggling on the skeleton, Hun Tiandi said calmly.
The two divine fires wrapping the skeleton suddenly flared up.
Under the terrifying high temperature, the newly grown flesh and blood were incinerated to ash, but terrifying energy continuously surged out, and the flesh grew again.
Just like that, the flames and the flesh and blood tugged and competed against each other.
Later, a mass of bloody, flesh-covered humanoid form began to take shape rapidly.
After one day of this burning and growth, the flesh and blood finally took shape and stabilized under the divine fire.
