Chapter 307: Refining the Body

"Should we grant Xiao Ming most of the permissions in the Pill Tower?" the beautiful woman asked.

"I agree, but let's ask Xuan Kong Zi first. We cannot afford to be complacent when it comes to the Hall of Souls. I'm concerned..."

The old man's concern was obviously about spies. After all, Xiao Ming had recently joined the Pill Tower, and he was from the North-Western Region, so the Pill Tower didn't have a complete understanding of him.

It should be noted that the previous Pill Tower Master was killed by a spy from the Hall of Souls, which led to a big fight between the Pill Tower and the Hall of Souls.

It was always better to be cautious.

"Okay," the beautiful woman nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, he's about to finish," the stern old man suddenly said.

...

Above the distant sky, an invisible light hung in the sky. The vast and majestic soul power, like a tide, quickly swept in all directions with it as the center. At this moment, all alchemists below the eighth tier in the area near the inn where Xiao Ming was located felt a strong soul pressure.

"Is this the soul pressure of an eighth-tier alchemist? This is the first time I've felt it..."

Those alchemists looked up at the invisible light in the sky and felt this vast soul power, exclaiming from the bottom of their hearts.

Suddenly, the soul power that spread out like a tide quickly dissipated, and the group of invisible lights gradually appeared under the gaze of countless people.

As the lights dissipated, a figure became faintly visible. Upon closer inspection, it was Xiao Ming, but his body seemed extremely ethereal.

The soul was too ethereal and elusive for the experts of this era. Soul power was also colorless and formless, making it difficult to defend against. Human-like souls were rare since it was difficult to turn a formless soul into a human form that would last long, and only those in the Spirit Realm could possibly achieve it.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

"Indeed, we should focus on improving our strength. How could this old man have any objections? Let's start now," said Venerable Tian Huo.

Venerable Tian Huo was not an ungrateful person, and he naturally did not feel any displeasure towards Xiao Ming's actions. On the contrary, he was overjoyed when he heard that Xiao Ming was going to refine a body for him now, as he could finally be resurrected.

Xiao Ming waved his hand and a corpse covered in ice appeared. This corpse was the former sect leader of the Harmonious Bond Sect. Originally, Xiao Ming had prepared the corpse of Yan Luo Tian for Venerable Tian Huo, but now that there was something better, he would use it instead.

Actually, it was better to refine one's own body for the purpose of body refinement. But although the remains of Yao Tian Huo's existed, they were only marginally better than bone scraps and could no longer be used to support a soul.

After summoning the corpse, Xiao Ming recalled the method of refining a body given to him by Yao Lao in his mind. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded silently and waved his hand. An invisible force lifted the corpse and suspended it in mid-air.

Xiao Ming waved his hand again and the White Glazed Heart Flame emerged. With a "pu" sound, it wrapped the corpse, and the ice on the corpse quickly melted in the terrifyingly high temperature of the flame.

"Senior Yao, give me a trace of soul power!" Xiao Ming said in a deep voice as he looked at the rapidly melting ice.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tian Huo's soul power immediately divided from his brow and floated towards Xiao Ming.

Grabbing the trace of soul power, Xiao Ming casually threw it into the corpse. Then, he took out the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill from the storage ring and threw it towards Venerable Tian Huo, saying, "Take it. When I give the signal later, you will immediately enter the body!"

Yao Tian Huo nodded with a solemn expression and immediately stuffed the pill into his mouth without hesitation. His eyes shone with excitement.

Seeing Yao Tian Huo take the pill, Xiao Ming quickly took out another jade bottle from his storage ring. The bottle was filled with deep blue blood, exuding astonishingly violent energy.

A long time ago, Xiao Ming obtained the corpse of a seventh-rank sea beast from the simulator. The sea beast had long been dissected by him, and this was its essence blood.

As the jade bottle was tilted, a large mass of blood scattered out and landed on the corpse wrapped in flames with a wave of Xiao Ming's hand.

As soon as the blood touched the corpse, it made a hissing sound, and the skin of the corpse began to rot rapidly.

This sudden change did not make Xiao Ming change his expression. After a brief glance, he controlled the White Glazed Heart Flame to suddenly increase in temperature. The blood that adhered to the corpse's body thus began to slowly seep into it in a strange manner. The originally pale skin and muscles gradually became full of vitality under the fusion of the essence blood.
