Their strength had changed from when Xiao Long was tempering his body, so this time Chu Yang had Xue Qianwei greatly increase the purity of the body-tempering fluid.
Thus, the torment they endured was no less than Xiao Long’s back then.
However, Qin Xiaoxiao was not boiled by Chu Yang. The body-tempering fluid was incompatible with her physique; forcibly absorbing it would cause her internal powers to clash.
The physical strength of the Ice Phoenix Sacred Body was already immense, comparable to a true demonic beast, far more powerful than ordinary body refiners.
Moreover, as her strength increased, her physical strength would only grow stronger.
Therefore, she was watching the show with Chu Yang and Xue Qianwei.
This was her first time seeing these top figures looking like they were about to die.
“Good brother, this body-tempering fluid… it’s killing me!”
“It hurts! It hurts so much!”
“Immortal Brother, I don’t want this opportunity anymore, woohoo…”
Chu Yang held a handful of Calming Pills, which transformed into pure medicinal power and entered their bodies.
“Stop your whining! You haven’t been cultivating for just a day or two. Can’t you endure this little bit of pain?”
Xue Qianwei also egged them on, “That’s right! If you cry any more, I’ll film you in this state and post it online, letting your fans see your pathetic appearance!”
They all had an image to maintain. Being naked and boiled in body-tempering fluid was a bit embarrassing, and they wanted to preserve their dignity.
So, one by one, they fell silent.
The medicinal power of the Calming Pills entered their bodies, clearing their minds.
Chu Yang instructed, “Now that your minds are clear, immediately circulate your cultivation techniques and absorb the medicinal power of the body-tempering fluid! This is a long process. Immerse yourselves, and you can clearly feel the changes within your bodies. The increase in strength will make you forget the pain.”
Their mental fortitude was quite strong. Even without Chu Yang’s Calming Pills, they could endure the pain.
However, they knew Chu Yang was here, which was why they cried out, wanting Chu Yang to help alleviate their pain.
It was like children acting spoiled, asking for favors from their parents.
Each person’s cultivation technique was very special, and they also possessed extremely unique physiques.
For a time, the entire area was enveloped in a phenomenon of diverse forms: soaring trees, golden dragons, three-legged sun crows, and the sound of swords humming…
Chu Yang approached Bai Nianchen and said, “Daoist Bai, you can take the [Hong Tian Dao Pill] now. Using the power of the body-tempering fluid can help you digest it. Rest assured, with Boss Xue here, there’s plenty of medicinal power!”
Bai Nianchen cast a grateful look at Chu Yang, then put the precious pill into his mouth.
Instantly, wisps of purple smoke emerged from his body, and noble Primordial Violet Qi circled his skin. As his cultivation technique circulated, this violet qi gradually entered his body.
Chu Yang knew that it would take Bai Nianchen a long time to digest this pill, so he placed dozens of top-grade spirit stones beside him, creating a small spirit gathering formation, allowing Daoist Bai to absorb it well.
For Bai Nianchen, this was undoubtedly an opportunity for a complete transformation.
He went to Wang Teng’s side. This kid actually wasn’t in that much pain but still pretended to howl in agony, “Brother, it hurts so much! Is there anything good…”
Chu Yang’s expression darkened, and he said to Xue Qianwei, “Increase his dosage!”
Wang Teng was shocked, “Holy crap, good brother! I was wrong…”
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Luo Xiaowei, who had entered a state of meditation, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
However, Chu Yang patted her head and said, “Don’t worry, it’s all good!”
Qin Xiaoxiao’s face flushed. After escaping from the plaza today, Luo Xiaowei had said some very mushy things to her.
Then, the two of them… if nothing went wrong, they should have confirmed their relationship.
Chu Yang instructed Xue Qianwei, “Boss Xue, I’ll leave them in your care for now. Pay attention to everyone’s condition. Take care of Shen Yingxue; her cultivation is weaker, she can’t handle too high an intensity…”
Xue Qianwei waved her hand, cackled with laughter, and added more heat to Wang Teng’s cauldron, “Got it, got it! Go do your thing! I know what I’m doing!”
Wang Teng’s screams continued, while Chu Yang had already left with Qin Xiaoxiao.
They entered the medicinal garden.
“Has the little phoenix not woken up yet?”
“Aji… ate too much and hasn’t woken up yet…”
Chu Yang took her to the deepest part of the medicinal garden.
Immediately, all the immortal and sacred medicines here, upon sensing Chu Yang’s arrival, acted as if they had seen a ghost. Their leaves dared not sway, and those in bloom tried their best to retract.
Qin Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. She glanced at Chu Yang, then at the terrified herbs, wanting to say something but not daring to.
“They are welcoming me, don’t be surprised.”
Qin Xiaoxiao forced a smile, “Immortal Brother is truly amazing!”
Chu Yang led her to the mountain peak.
A pure white lotus grew on the summit, with the faint silhouette of an ice phoenix appearing.
The Extreme Snow Lotus, this kind of plant does not develop sentience. From the day of its birth, its mission is to dedicate itself entirely to the Ice Phoenix clan. This is the rule designated by the Ice Crystal Phoenix that created this plant.
“Take out your… Aji.”
There was no need to take it out; the little phoenix sensed the aura of the Extreme Snow Lotus and directly emerged from Qin Xiaoxiao’s bag.
A petal transformed into pure cold energy and entered the little phoenix’s body.
“Chirp!!”
The little phoenix let out a joyful cry, and ice-blue spiritual energy erupted from its body. It directly advanced to the third tier!
Chu Yang said, “This Extreme Snow Lotus has already reached the level of a sacred medicine. It cannot be entirely consumed, and this is also useful for you.”
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked and said coyly, “But Immortal Brother, I’ve already obtained an immortal artifact. To receive such a precious item again…”
“This time is different from that time. After you finish exploring the next Time Secret Realm, I won’t be able to keep an eye on you. Your safety is of utmost importance to this world! Whether the future war against the evil race can be won depends on how far you can grow!”
Qin Xiaoxiao was shocked, “Immortal Brother, are you… on your deathbed…”
Chu Yang’s expression darkened, and he flicked her on the head, “Don’t curse your Immortal Brother! Come on, let’s go out!”
“Ah? Not here?”
“There’s no time law here. Go absorb it in the [Li Huo Palace]. This will take a long time.”
…
Qin Xiaoxiao and the little phoenix entered closed-door cultivation together.
Thus, all these people were arranged properly.
Chu Yang looked at these geniuses who were entering closed-door cultivation to increase their strength with his help, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
“I hope you all return alive when I send you to train in other worlds. For you, I’ve worried myself sick…”
