After obtaining two fortuitous encounters, Xu Chuan retraced his steps.
Xuan Lie returned to the golden ancient hall to continue his deep slumber.
His victory over Feng Zu this time was entirely due to his desperate, all-out burst.
However, it also caused his already not fully healed injuries to worsen once more.
Though Xuan Lie said nothing, Xu Chuan understood him perfectly.
Xu Chuan bore this kindness in his heart, vowing to repay him in the future.
On his way out, Xu Chuan took action and condensed all the Solar True Fire within the sea of flames into one place.
Since all the black energy had been absorbed by the Boundary Stone, the Solar True Fire had now returned to its original state.
It was exceedingly docile in Xu Chuan's hands.
However, to be safe, after gathering and condensing the Solar True Fire, Xu Chuan took out the Myriad Spirits Cauldron and refined it.
Even if any residual black energy remained, it would be eradicated under the Cauldron's refinement.
Soon, this mass of Solar True Fire was refined into a True Fire Seed.
All one needed to do was to refine this seed to gain control over the Solar True Fire.
Gazing at the pure True Fire Seed in his hand, Xu Chuan was very satisfied.
Although this item was of little use to him, it was an invaluable treasure for others.
It could certainly be used to win people over.
Before long, Xu Chuan returned to the spot where he had fought Feng Hao.
At this moment, Su Miaoyin was still digesting the power of the barrier.
Feng Qingyang, on the other hand, was silently guarding her.
Upon seeing Xu Chuan emerge, he rose and said, "Young Master, you've returned."
"How was it? Did you encounter any danger?" Xu Chuan inquired.
"No, apart from us, no one has been here," Feng Qingyang replied truthfully, shaking his head.
Xu Chuan nodded, then turned his gaze to Su Miaoyin.
She was currently in the final step of refining that energy.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would soon successfully transform her constitution into the Phoenix Sacred Body.
Perhaps sensing Xu Chuan's gaze, Su Miaoyin slowly opened her eyes.
Her surprise was evident when her gaze landed on Xu Chuan first.
"Senior Brother Xu Chuan..."
"Focus!"
Xu Chuan interrupted her directly, his tone stern.
The transformation of one's constitution was no trivial matter and could not be rushed.
Every step was crucial.
Reminded by Xu Chuan, Su Miaoyin resumed her refinement.
Perhaps due to Xu Chuan's safe return, Su Miaoyin's speed in refining this energy increased significantly.
The energy of the barrier continuously circulated within Su Miaoyin's body.
Witnessing this, Xu Chuan's mind began to form an idea.
He then spoke, "Miaoyin, I have an item here that might enhance your gains from this transformation. Would you be willing to try it?"
"Do not worry, there is no danger for you. Even if it fails, there will be no side effects!"
"However, if it succeeds, you will obtain something a hundred times better than what you have now!"
"Whether you want to try it or not is entirely up to you!"
After speaking, Xu Chuan waited for Su Miaoyin's thoughts.
The item he referred to was something he had obtained long ago from Yang Sheng's Emperor Armament ring: a segment of the Phoenix Undying Tree's heartwood.
The Phoenix Undying Tree was a primordial divine tree nurtured in chaos, rumored to be deeply connected to the birth of the phoenix clan.
The heartwood of this tree was its most crucial part.
Only one segment of heartwood could be nurtured every ten thousand years.
Refining this item not only enhanced one's foundation but also brought about incredible changes to one's constitution and boosted the user's abilities.
Unfortunately, this heartwood could only be used by those with phoenix bloodline.
Others would gain no effect from it.
Thus, after obtaining it, Xu Chuan had kept it in his storage ring, gathering dust.
It wasn't until today, with Su Miaoyin undergoing her constitution transformation, that he remembered this item existed in his storage ring.
Otherwise, who knew how much longer it would be before Xu Chuan would recall its existence.
"I am willing!" Su Miaoyin declared without hesitation.
She trusted Xu Chuan completely.
No matter what Xu Chuan asked her to do, she was willing to try.
Furthermore, she had always desired to possess great power to aid Xu Chuan. Now that an opportunity arose, how could she refuse?
Therefore, she agreed without a second thought.
"Good!" Xu Chuan nodded, took out the segment of heartwood from his storage ring, and handed it to Su Miaoyin.
The heartwood of the Phoenix Undying Tree was a deep crimson, its patterns resembling flowing blood, incredibly alluring.
Once Su Miaoyin refined this item, her transformed Phoenix Sacred Body would undoubtedly become even more formidable.
Taking the item, Su Miaoyin swallowed it in one gulp.
"Calm your mind and circulate your cultivation technique to refine this item!" Xu Chuan instructed.
Su Miaoyin immediately followed Xu Chuan's words and entered her meditative state.
Rumble!
As soon as the heartwood entered Su Miaoyin's body, the energy contained within erupted.
A flame appeared out of thin air, beginning to burn Su Miaoyin's entire body.
The two energies met, reacting intensely, and Su Miaoyin's refining speed instantly increased by another level.
Seeing this, Su Miaoyin was somewhat surprised.
But she quickly came to terms with it.
She wouldn't be surprised by anything Xu Chuan could produce.
In her eyes, Xu Chuan was an omnipotent being.
Soon, Su Miaoyin's constitution began its transformation.
Her internal organs, meridians, blood, bones, flesh, and even every single cell turned a deep crimson.
Powerful vitality began to gestate within her body.
However, observing this, Xu Chuan frowned slightly.
He sensed that Su Miaoyin's potential had not been fully tapped yet.
Therefore, he decided to add a potent catalyst to thoroughly unleash her remaining potential, achieving the transformation in one go.
Without delay, Xu Chuan separated a cluster of Solar Origin from his inner world.
This item inherently possessed the effect of strengthening one's physique.
Coupled with Su Miaoyin's original Ice Muscle Jade Bone constitution, the two were perfectly complementary and would cause her no harm.
With a flick of his finger, this cluster of Solar Origin entered Su Miaoyin's body.
With the addition of this third energy, the situation within Su Miaoyin became even more turbulent.
However, her refining speed also accelerated dramatically.
The hidden potential within her body was now fully stimulated.
Screech!
A high-pitched phoenix cry echoed.
A golden light emanated from Su Miaoyin's entire body, and an anomaly appeared behind her.
A seven-colored phoenix spread its wings and soared, its tail feathers numbering in the thousands, exquisitely alluring.
Yet it was also resplendent, noble, and incredibly pure.
"Success!"
Seeing this, Xu Chuan knew that Su Miaoyin had completely refined these three energies.
Now, her constitution was undergoing a change.
However, it was no longer just an ordinary Phoenix Sacred Body.
It was the Phoenix Immortal Body, renowned even in chaos.
Compared to the Phoenix Sacred Body, the Phoenix Immortal Body was more than just a little stronger.
The specific effects would need to be discovered by Su Miaoyin herself over time.
"Senior Brother Xu Chuan, I succeeded!"
"My constitution has transformed!"
Su Miaoyin opened her eyes, the anomaly behind her slowly fading, her face filled with joy.
