Ling Xiao took the herbs Allens bought and placed the items on the ground one by one.

Gayaro muttered to himself, "Stones of condensation, hardening heart stones, forging meridian sand and Spirit Recovering Grass, with these few things, I can refine the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead that will help you wash your muscles and clear your marrow."

"Can we start refining the Bone Ablutionary Dan now?" Ling Xiao couldn't wait any longer.

"Now is the time for us to not attract attention. We need to hurry up and refine the pill so that you can be reborn before dawn." Gayaro made the final decision.

Even though Ling Xiao knew almost nothing about alchemy, he knew that there were a lot of things that needed to be prepared. He asked: "But we don't have anything."

Gayaro squatted on Ling Xiao's shoulder and looked over at him with a hint of disdain, "A level one pill like this Bone Ablutionary Dan, you don't even need a cauldron to successfully refine it. Only you are strong enough."

Ling Xiao hadn't lit up his alchemy skills yet, but something as trivial as refining a Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead had to be done by a godly beast that had just learned how to walk.

Before handing over the control of his body to Gayaro, he purposely stopped his actions and explained to Ling Xiao, "My body is not well controlled now, so I won't need your help when my body grows in the future."

He was worried that Ling Xiao might have a grudge against him. After all, most people abstain from situations where they are not under his control even though they are clearly their own bodies.

Ling Xiao nodded and didn't say anything. It was difficult for him, who had been betrayed in succession, to completely let down his guard in a short period of time, but he had been trying to overcome it.

After all, this was his only hope of turning things around.

Gayaro controlled Ling Xiao's body, but his soul was still awake, thus he was able to watch the entire process of refining the pill.

Just when Gayaro was about to take a stance and use his surging inner strength, a light blue flame appeared out of nowhere on Ling Xiao's thin hands. The flame continued to emit heat.

If someone were to touch this seemingly harmless flame at this moment, they would probably be instantly burnt to ashes by the extremely high temperature and not even ashes would remain.

In fact, the moment the light blue flame appeared, Ling Xiao somehow felt the flame's threat and knew that it was definitely not as simple as it looked.

At this moment, Gayaro kindly offered his understanding with a voice that couldn't conceal the pride in it, "This is my heart's fire. Even a Martial King wouldn't dare to lightly touch his body."

Martial Monarch?!

Ling Xiao was shocked. Even on the continent that he was on, a Martial King was not someone that could be easily found. Even a first level Martial King could occupy a region and gain fame.

What shocked Ling Xiao the most was not the destructive power of the Heart Flame, but the lack of reverence in Gayaro's tone when he mentioned the Martial Monarch. It had to be known that the further one's martial arts progressed, the harder it would be for it to level up. Martial Cultivator who were stuck at the doorstep and unable to step over for their entire lives were everywhere, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

Who exactly is Gayaro? Just how strong was he? Was it a Martial Monarch? Or was it some other higher level existence? Why did it appear in the land of nothingness? What was his purpose in helping her?

Suddenly, Ling Xiao did not dare to think further. He forced himself to calm down and see how Gayaro was going to refine the pills.

The light blue flame jumped around Gayaro's palm. The Condensation Stone, the Stones of Hardening Heart and the Forging Meridians, which were originally neatly placed on the ground, obediently floated up and jumped into the light blue flame. As soon as they entered, they turned into fine powder that fell into the palm of his hand.

"Congealing Stones have no rank. They can be used both as a stone and as medicine. It has the effect of calming one's heart and calming one's breathing, which can reduce the possibility of Martial Cultivator's cultivation going berserk.

The Hard-Heart Stone had no rank. It could make the Qi of Heaven and Earth absorbed by one's body become more refined and increase one's cultivation efficiency.

It will help the Martial Cultivator purify the impurities on his body, and will have the effect of cleansing the muscles and bones. "

While Gayaro was refining the Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads, he was slowly asking Ling Xiao about the origins and effects of these herbs.

Medicinal herbs in the world were divided into grades 1 to 7 according to their rarity and efficacy. As these herbs mentioned by Gayaro were common, they were only used on cultivators who were about to enter the warrior stage, so they could only be considered as the lowest grade medicinal herbs.

Very quickly, the herb that the Turtledove Eagle gave Ling Xiao fell into the flames. He focused and heard Gayaro say: "Spirit Recovering Grass, a level one medicinal herb, can greatly increase the success rate of condensing Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Martial Cultivator. It also has a certain chance of making ordinary beings intelligent."

Ling Xiao read Gayaro's method in his heart while memorizing the content he told him.

In the Martial Arts Continent, the number of alchemists compared to the Martial Cultivator were much fewer, and the alchemists who were slightly more famous would not easily let others know of their materials and pill refining methods, so only people like Gayaro would not care about leaking information.

"Alright."

While Ling Xiao was immersed in his own thoughts, Gayaro had already finished his first Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead.

His spirits lifted, Ling Xiao found that he had regained control of his body and there was a pill lying quietly in his hand.

He curiously looked at the misshapen, dragon-eye sized pill lying on the palm of his hand. It actually looked quite cute.

"Cough …" Anyway, it's going to be eaten soon, it doesn't matter how ugly it looks, "Gayaro urged," Hurry up and consume it, otherwise the energy contained in the pill will be lost.

Ling Xiao had taken a lot of pills in the past, and it wasn't that he hadn't taken any top grade four or five pills. However, facing this ugly and adorable Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead that was only level one, he started to feel a little excited. He understood that whether or not he could improve on his martial dao training would depend on how useful this pill could be.

Sitting cross-legged, Ling Xiao popped the pill into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. Then he waited for the effects of the pill to come out in the cool breeze that blew through the wall.

Not long after, a surge of hot air rose from his dantian, quickly flowing along the blood to his limbs and bones, and then suddenly exploding forth!

Ling Xiao felt like there was a ball of fire burning inside his body. In front of his tightly closed eyes, there seemed to be a ball of fire pulsating. The originally cold surface of his body instantly turned into a captivating red.

Luckily, Gayaro had chosen the milder and more moderate herbs to be used as a precaution. Otherwise, if the Rank 2 Spirit Recovering Grass was refined with some kind of Heart Flame, the combined power of the two would have burnt Ling Xiao long ago.

Gayaro had been keeping a close eye on Ling Xiao's condition. He was prepared to forcefully stop the effectiveness of the medicine if anything happened to Ling Xiao to ensure that he wouldn't be harmed. After all, he had been waiting for so many years. He didn't want to spend more time waiting for someone suitable to appear.

Luckily, the duration of the effects of the Bone Ablutionary Dan was very short. Ling Xiao revealed a pained expression at the beginning, but he quickly calmed down and focused on feeling the transformation of his body from the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead.
