Chapter 3: Lifesaving Divine Elixir

  Xiao Chen had just spoken these words when someone flung open the door of the house like a bird in flight.

  Before her eyes, she saw a white palace dress with a long skirt, standing tall and slender like an otherworldly fairy, quietly standing outside.

  "Ling sister, you're here." Xiao Chen exclaimed excitedly.

  "Hmm." Ling Shuiyan nodded, his palm flipped over, and a bullet the size of a longan fruit appeared in his hand, radiating intense light.

  "Create Dan!" Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.

  Ling Shuiyan waved his hand, and a gentle force surged out, sending the Creation Pill slowly flying into Xiao Chen's hands.

  "Ling Shijie, I... you... thank you." Xiao Chen felt grateful to the beautiful girl in front of him at this moment. His previous life had only picked a small herb for her, but Ling Shuiyan had repaid him with such precious elixir...

  "It's just a small effort, I hope you can pass the test of the sect." Ling Shuiyan nodded slightly and turned to leave gracefully.

  "Ling Shijie, for the gift of medicine today, Xiao Chen will surely repay you heavily in the future." Xiao Chen said loudly to Ling Shuiyan's back.

  The misty rain drifted away without looking back.

  It wasn't until the mist had vanished into the distant mountain path that Xiao Chen's mind was once again filled with the sound of Ye Liu Xing's voice.

  "Alright, the elixir is in your hands. Xiao Chen, hurry up and start cultivating now. Begin your nine-day closed-door training to charge towards the Condensing Spirit Realm. I will help you." Ye Liu Xing's voice became serious.

  Back in the room, Xiao Chen spread out his palm and carefully observed the appearance of the "Creation Pill". He saw a golden divine light bursting out from the pill, illuminating the entire simple house with a bright light, casting a faint layer of golden light.

  "This is the key to changing my fate." Xiao Chen carefully observed the bullet in his hand, and his mood gradually calmed down from excitement. He took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and swallowed the elixir. In an instant, the thick medicinal power of the Creation Elixir dissolved in his mouth, and it was actually instantly absorbed!

  As the medicinal properties of the Cihuatl Dan were released, Xiao Chen immediately felt a surge of saliva in his mouth, and a cool energy flowed down from his mouth, spreading throughout his limbs, bones, and meridians, filling all parts of his body.

  "Huh?" Before long, Xiao Chen's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, feeling like every part of his body was aching and itching unbearably, as if tens of thousands of ants were biting inside his body.

  "Don't panic, this means the Huafadan has started to clear the toxins from your body. Your body was petrified by Medusa's gaze, after taking the Huafadan, you will suffer ten times more pain than others."

  As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the itching and pain in his body turned into pure pain, which then turned into severe pain, like his intestines were being pierced and his body was rotting with pus and blood.

  Xiao Chen's teeth were clenched, his body uncontrollably trembling, and beads of sweat instantly covered his forehead. In just a split second, his entire body was drenched in sweat.

  However, the sweat that flowed out of Xiao Chen was black in color and accompanied by an unbearable stench. This was the toxin that had been forced out of Xiao Chen's meridians, acupoints, muscles, bones, and skin by the Cao Hua Dan.

  For Xiao Chen, time passed slowly and dragged on, the intense pain showed no signs of abating, Xiao Chen felt as if his body was going to burn up and turn into a raging inferno.

  But Xiao Chen bit his lip tightly, and his lips were bleeding, but he still didn't make a sound of pain. He had survived ten years of living worse than death, so what was this little pain?

  Ye Liu Xing was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's willpower, thinking that the eyes of fate had not chosen the wrong person. However, Xiao Chen's talent was still unknown, and if his talent was also extraordinary, then she would be even more satisfied.

  It wasn't clear how much time had passed, but Xiao Chen suddenly felt his body become much more comfortable. A thread of cool air was transmitted from the center of his brow, reducing the scorching flames within his body.

  "Ah..." The feeling was so comfortable that Xiao Chen couldn't help but let out a breath, his body stopped trembling, and his face relaxed, no longer twisted in agony. He completely relaxed.

  "The medicinal power of the Causal Body Pill has stimulated the Causal Eye! It's helping Xiao Chen shape his war body! Just like my situation back then!" Ye Liu Xing felt the change in the Causal Eye and immediately became excited, this meant that the Causal Eye had acknowledged Xiao Chen and was actually starting to help him shape his war body.

  At first, she was able to reach such a high level because with the help of the eyes of creation, she cultivated the Seven Apertures Linglong War Body. However, in the end, it was because of her own benevolent thought that she fell and became what she is today.

  At this moment, Xiao Chen also received the infusion of the war body, but didn't know if it was the same as Ye Liu Xing's war body. If it were the same, then Ye Liu Xing would probably laugh out loud, because the Seven Apertures War Body was a woman's cultivation method, and her appearance would become even more beautiful, her figure even more alluring.

  Imagine a man with a prominent front and back, stunning the country and the city, what kind of scene would that be.

  Xiao Chen's eyebrows and heart were filled with the mighty cool air from the creative eye of nature, which was constantly pouring down. This breath of air was nothing unusual for Xiao Chen, slightly cool and somewhat refreshing.

  Xiao Chen felt as if he was still in another world, on a sweltering summer day, drinking a glass of iced Sprite that was so refreshing.

  The refreshing energy didn't stop at all, still falling from the brow of Xiao Chen, that creative eye, flowing into his limbs and bones, quietly transforming and shaping his roots, making his roots completely different from the beginning.

  He couldn't feel any difference in himself, all he could feel was that his whole body felt extremely comfortable, and there were no other feelings.

  It's not just Xiao Chen who can't feel it, even someone with inner sight wouldn't be able to discover anything different about his body. Someone like Ye Liu Xing is an exception, she originally had the eyes of creation and was also transformed by them into a seven-orifice Linglong battle body, that's why she would know what this refreshing aura represents.

  Time slowly passed, and by the end, Xiao Chen even felt his body getting colder and colder, as if he had been placed in a refrigerator. The feeling changed from comfort to chills, and it was becoming more and more painful.

  The toxins that were forced out of Xiao Chen's body by the Huadan, which had attached to his skin, began to freeze and form ice shards. They then burst forth from his skin and fell off.

  Xiao Chen's face had turned pale, his lips were blue, and he looked like a living dead man. The horror had reached its peak. Xiao Chen was even more chilled by this cold air, his consciousness began to blur, and he felt as if he saw an endless starry sky, with stars twinkling and shedding a clear and cold light.

  It's cold, and it's going on!

  Freezing!

  Ice-cold!

  Extremely cold!

  Absolute zero!

  Xiao Chen felt that his blood had already stopped flowing, his muscles were frozen like a quick-frozen dumpling taken out of the refrigerator, and even his consciousness was about to be frozen, on the verge of death.

  Suddenly——

  A warm current started from Xiao Chen's brow and slowly spread out, like the arrival of spring after a cold winter, with ice and snow melting away and all things coming back to life.

  The thick layer of frost that had covered Xiao Chen's body for so long finally began to thaw, turning into a murky icy water that flowed onto the ground. The murky ice water contained all the impurities that had accumulated in Xiao Chen's body over the past seventeen years, all of which were forced out by the pure cold energy.

  And now with that warm current flowing down, Xiao Chen was like a big bear waking up from hibernation, gradually regaining consciousness, his muscles recovering their elasticity, and his blood thawing out like an iceberg dissolving into a babbling brook.

  This is an extremely slow process, whether it's the arrival of that pure cold power or the arrival of this pure yang power at this moment, it's all in a slow replacement within the range that Xiao Chen can bear.

  If it were from two extremes, hot and cold, let alone Xiao Chen, even a martial artist in the Tongxuan realm would likely die instantly at the moment of contact between the two extreme powers.

  The power of pure yang grew stronger and stronger, completely suppressing the power of pure yin. Xiaochen gradually felt warmth, initially like spring, then summer.

  As if naked under the scorching sun, it felt like his body was about to catch fire. Xiaochen felt his blood boiling, and he could even hear the sound of his blood churning and bubbling.

  His muscles seemed to have melted away, and he felt as if he had already smelled the aroma of roasted meat.

  The bones were like charcoal, emitting a burst of white smoke...

  All of this was just Xiao Chen's own delusion, in reality it wasn't even close to this extent. If it had reached this extent, then even if Xiao Chen had ten lives, it still wouldn't be enough for him to die.

  Xiao Chen's body emitted layer upon layer of white mist, just like a hot iron steaming clothes. The scorching high temperature once again evaporated the impurities in Xiao Chen's body, turning them into gas that was expelled through his pores.

  Then the pure cold energy arrived, suppressing the pure yang energy. The alternating and repetitive interaction between the pure cold energy and the pure yang energy made Xiao Chen's body seem like a year with four seasons, only changing more quickly.

  Ye Liu Xing had been paying attention to Xiao Chen's movements, and Xiao Chen's current situation was completely different from hers back then. When she obtained the Seven Apertures Linglong War Body, all she did was sleep for a while, and when she woke up, her body possessed unparalleled cultivation talent, nothing like Xiao Chen's troubles.

  Time is passing by, the sun sets and rises.

  A day and a night passed, and just as the sun rose, its brilliant light spreading across the land, the two extreme powers within Xiao Chen's body finally began to slowly move towards a balance, eventually stabilizing, and Xiao Chen returned to normal.

  Those two extreme forces seemed to have secretly entered the depths of Xiao Chen's body, and yet they seemed to have dissipated into thin air. In any case, they had vanished without a trace within Xiao Chen's body.

  At the moment when the two extreme forces disappeared, a method of achievement suddenly flooded into Xiao Chen's mind. Then four starry characters flashing with azure divine light flashed through Xiao Chen's mind.

  "Stellar Battle Form!"

  Xiao Chen pounced on those four words and savored them carefully, but couldn't understand what they represented.
