260: Zhang Xiaopangzi's Transformation

With the Innate Spirit Marrow of his inexplicably awakened Physique Origin guiding him in secret, the potent Medicinal Power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill seemed to find its destination.

It integrated into Wang Xiaopang's limbs and bones more efficiently and rapidly, expelling deeper Impurities, and the speed of his transformation abruptly accelerated!

After an unknown period, the Medicinal Effect was finally fully absorbed.

Wang Xiaopang slowly opened his eyes, letting out a long breath of turbid Qi, which even faintly carried the phantom of Talisman characters appearing and disappearing!

He subconsciously looked inward at his Physical Body, and then his entire being was stunned.

His Meridians were wide and tough like a heavenly river, and Spiritual Qi surged through them, its speed more than a hundred times faster than before!

Wherever the Spiritual Qi passed, it flowed smoothly without any hindrance, and he could even faintly hear the sound of babbling streams and the accompanying hum of wind and thunder within his Physical Body.

His Divine Sense was incomparably clear, his perception became exceptionally sharp, and his entire Physical Body felt as if it had undergone a complete metamorphosis.

"Is... is this what it feels like after my Aptitude has improved?"

Wang Xiaopang looked at his hands, too excited to control himself, as if he was truly getting to know his Physical Body for the first time.

His original Aptitude was already Saint-Grade, but now it had leaped into a realm he couldn't even imagine!

"Revered Master's Medicinal Pill... it's too miraculous! Not only has my Aptitude improved, but I also seem to have gained some insights into Talismans?"

He muttered to himself but didn't dare to ask more.

Gu Changge's gaze swept over Wang Xiaopang, taking in all his changes, especially the Origin of the Myriad Talisman Dao Physique that had already awakened but he was still unaware of.

"Spiritual Qi like a tide, Divine Sense initially resonating, Physical Body pure, Foundation finally solid. Hmm, Emperor-Grade Aptitude, Myriad Talisman Dao Physique, just barely acceptable."

He whispered to himself, his tone still flat, but the last sentence carried a hint of almost imperceptible meaning, similar to a craftsman admiring his satisfactory work.

"It seems this time... the added Materials were just right."

"However, strike while the iron is hot."

Before Little Fatty could fully recover from the transformative feeling brought by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Gu Changge flicked his sleeve again.

A huge jade barrel appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, filled with crystal-clear liquid that exuded a heart-pounding energy fluctuation and ancient aura. It was the Great Emperor's essence blood, diluted with Innate Spirit Marrow.

"Go in and soak." Gu Changge's command was concise and unquestionable.

Wang Xiaopang looked at the jade barrel; just feeling the aura emanating from the liquid within made his recently calmed Soul tremble violently again.

Recalling the stinging pain from the Marrow Cleansing Pill that hadn't completely dissipated, his chubby face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Gu Changge, his voice tinged with a sob:

"Revered Master! Please, have mercy, your Disciple was almost refined into dregs just now, and my bones are still aching. At least let your Disciple catch his breath!"

Gu Changge didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard this, merely glancing at him indifferently.

Just that one glance made Wang Xiaopang feel as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe; any thought of bargaining instantly vanished.

He shivered, no longer daring to hesitate for a moment, and frantically tore off his outer robe, which was already like rags.

Like a round ball, he 'whooshed' and scrambled into the jade barrel with both hands and feet, fearing that a moment's delay would result in an even more terrifying punishment.

"Aooo—!!!"

As soon as he immersed himself in the essence blood, Wang Xiaopang let out a shriek ten times more agonizing than before!

The seemingly crystal-clear liquid now felt like billions of red-hot steel needles, carrying primeval and domineering power, frantically piercing into every pore and drilling deep into his bone marrow!

This pain, compared to the Marrow Cleansing Pill's internal cleansing, had an added sharp sensation of being forcibly invaded, torn, and fused by terrifying external energy!

Extreme pain instantly overwhelmed him, causing the muscles of his entire Physical Body to spasm and twitch uncontrollably. An abnormal reddish color appeared on his skin, and his veins bulged like coiling Dragons. He thrashed violently in the jade barrel, as if he could explode at any moment!

Fang Hanyu looked at Wang Xiaopang's utterly miserable state, and the muscles on his cold face twitched imperceptibly, as if recalling some unbearable memories of his own past 'tempering' by Revered Master. A deep sympathy flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.

After an unknown duration of torment in that pain, where he could neither live nor die, the domineering aura in the jade barrel finally gradually subsided, and the originally crystal-clear liquid became somewhat cloudy.

Wang Xiaopang, like a pile of mud, almost instinctively scrambled out of the jade barrel with both hands and feet, collapsing with a "thud" onto the cold ground. Only the violent rise and fall of his chest proved he was still alive.

His entire body was flushed red, like a boiled shrimp, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

Gu Changge's gaze swept over Little Fatty, who was sprawled on the ground, and he nodded slightly, his flat tone revealing no emotion: "Hmm, Heavenly Human Realm Early Stage. The flaw of superficiality has been removed. Now, this Foundation is finally solid."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaopang, who was lying on the ground, his eyes somewhat unfocused due to extreme pain and weakness, suddenly burst forth with astonishing brilliance!

He subconsciously looked inward at his Physical Body, and saw that his Meridians were not only wide and tough but also faintly exuded a warm, jade-like luster. Spiritual Qi surged through them, several times thicker and more solid, completely devoid of any previous superficiality!

His entire Physical Body felt like divine iron refined a thousand times over; although his appearance was disheveled, within him lay immense vitality and power!

"So... so it's solid?!"

Immense ecstasy instantly washed away all his fatigue and pain. Wang Xiaopang's nose tingled, his eyes instantly reddened, and he was so excited he almost truly cried out.

All the torment, all the screams before, held incomparable value at this moment!

"Wuwu... Revered Master! This suffering wasn't in vain!"

He cried out, his voice hoarse.

Gu Changge looked at Wang Xiaopang, who was slumped on the ground, incoherent with excitement, and a hint of almost imperceptible satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He flicked a finger.

A stream of Chaos-colored light entered Wang Xiaopang's glabella.

In an instant, Wang Xiaopang only felt his Divine Soul rumble as countless profound Talisman characters, formation diagrams, and cultivation techniques surged into his Sea of Consciousness like a vast river of stars. The sheer volume of information and the profoundness of its Concept far surpassed any Talisman Dao Legacy he had learned in the past!

The Grand Void Talisman Canon!

Immediately after, a small and exquisite pagoda, divided into nine layers, carved entirely from Chaos Divine Jade, its body entwined with countless phantom Talisman characters, appeared out of thin air and slowly descended into Wang Xiaopang's arms.

The pagoda felt warm to the touch but was as heavy as a mountain, exuding an ancient and profound aura. It was precisely the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Talisman Pagoda, though a portion of its aura had also been sealed by Gu Changge.

"Your talent in the Talisman Dao is still acceptable. Do not fail this pagoda and this canon." Gu Changge's voice remained flat.

Before Wang Xiaopang could recover from this immense surprise, Gu Changge flicked his sleeve again.

Several jade bottles glowing with treasure light and a few spiritual items exuding strong Spiritual Qi floated before Wang Xiaopang.

Bottles of top-grade Medicinal Pills, enough to sustain him for long periods of secluded cultivation without worrying about Spiritual Qi depletion or Divine Soul fatigue.

Stacks of top-grade Talisman paper and spiritual ink, radiating different elemental fluctuations, were essential Materials for drawing high-grade Talismans.

There were even a few protective Magic Treasures: an inner armor shimmering with watery light, and a jade pendant engraved with profound escape patterns—clearly top-grade items for preserving one's life and escaping!

Wang Xiaopang looked at everything before him, completely stunned.

An Emperor-Grade Talisman Dao Legacy!

A profound and mysterious Talisman Pagoda!

A massive quantity of top-grade Medicinal Pills and Talisman-making Materials!

Even thoughtful life-saving Magic Treasures!

This... this was practically paving every path for him, from Cultivation to self-preservation, with the most top-tier resources!

A huge sense of happiness and unreality overwhelmed him like a tsunami.

Am I dreaming?
