Xiao Yan’s palm curved slightly, generating a suction force that drew the Bodhi Transformation Slime from the jade box beside him. His gaze became focused as a pale blue and white flame separated from Little Healer Immortal’s body, enveloping the Bodhi Transformation Slime. As the flame made contact, the slime began to wildly agitate, seemingly trying to escape the flames. Xiao Yan, naturally, would not allow it. Although the Bodhi Transformation Slime had wondrous effects, it still needed to be slightly refined by the Heavenly Flame before it could be used on Little Healer Immortal.
Grasping the slime, the pale blue and white flames intensified, and under this terrifying temperature, the Bodhi Transformation Slime ceased its writhing after a couple of minutes. “Hmm?” As the refining process neared completion and Xiao Yan was about to extract the refined Bodhi Transformation Slime from the flames, he suddenly gasped. The flames revealed numerous green particles precipitating from the Bodhi Transformation Slime. These particles fell slowly, yet did not completely detach from the slime. Instead, they began to gather at the bottom, forming a small, green pearl in a matter of moments.
As the green pearl formed, the Bodhi Transformation Slime trembled, and the pearl detached, falling into Xiao Yan’s grasp. Despite its rough surface, holding the pearl gave one a sense of vibrant life. “Could this be… a Bodhi Seed?” Xiao Yan gazed at the mysterious green pearl in his hand, his eyes narrowing in surprise.
Bodhi Seeds, like the Heart of the Bodhi, were rare treasures from the ancient Bodhi trees. However, such items typically turned to dust the moment they fell, making them extremely difficult to acquire.
“Could the sedimentation within the Bodhi Transformation Slime form a Bodhi Seed under the refining of the Heavenly Flame?” Xiao Yan’s eyes flashed with sudden realization. The legends suggesting that possessing the Bodhi Transformation Slime would lead to the Heart of the Bodhi might indeed be true, but perhaps it was referring to the Bodhi Seed. Only by possessing the Bodhi Seed could one sense the legendary Heart of the Bodhi.
Tightening his grip, a gleam of joy passed through Xiao Yan’s eyes. Such an item, especially the Heart of the Bodhi, had immense allure for any Dou Zun because it increased the success rate of advancing to Dou Sheng. Forgetting to study the phenomenon, Xiao Yan carefully placed the Bodhi Seed in the cold jade box and stored it in his storage ring. This was a precious treasure, and if news of it spread, it could cause a great uproar. Some reclusive Dou Zun elders might even be drawn out, and then he would be in grave danger. Thus, Xiao Yan resolved to avoid seeking the Heart of the Bodhi unless he was truly prepared; otherwise, the consequences would be too dire.
Having secured the Bodhi Seed, Xiao Yan glanced at Little Healer Immortal, who lay motionless, her body trembling subtly. He extracted the now-refined, green Bodhi Transformation Slime and, taking a deep breath, applied it to her smooth, flat abdomen.
The moment the Bodhi Transformation Slime touched her skin, it silently seeped into her body, releasing a vibrant green energy that rapidly spread throughout her. In just a few breaths, her entire body was enveloped in the green liquid. Under its influence, her previously poisoned and weakened meridians and muscles were restored, more vibrant than before.
“Truly the power of the Bodhi Transformation Slime,” Xiao Yan thought, pleased. The effect far exceeded his expectations.
“Now, to neutralize the calamity poison,” he said, his face becoming serious. Placing his fingers together, he pressed them against her abdomen. The encircling pale blue and white flames split open, allowing the green liquid to flood through and rush into the gray poison vortex with a slight gurgle.
Upon contact with the Bodhi Transformation Slime, the deathly gray poison reacted violently. The gray poison surged, and the contained death energy was quickly neutralized by the life energy within the slime.
“Little Healer Immortal, activate your Dou Qi and compress the poison, forming a poison pill!” Sensing the rapidly diminishing death energy in the gray poison, Xiao Yan roared. His voice rumbled, reaching deep into Little Healer Immortal’s soul, causing her to regain some lucidity. She immediately followed his instructions, compressing the vast poison vortex.
Under her control, the poison vortex began to converge on the demonic core. The demonic core released a violent energy, resisting the poison’s invasion.
A muffled explosion sounded as the gray poison swiftly consumed and occupied the demonic core’s energy. The demonic core, now eroded by the poison, began to change, becoming smoother and emanating a gray glow.
Outside, feeling the orderly state within Little Healer Immortal, Xiao Yan exhaled in relief. Fatigue washed over him, and he collapsed onto the ground. Everything was going smoothly. Now, he just needed to wait for Little Healer Immortal to fully absorb the poison and form the poison pill, which would grant her complete control over the calamity poison.
While Xiao Yan was helping Little Healer Immortal, in a distant ice plain, a cold aura was spreading through a grand hall.
“Fifty-four people set out, and only you returned, Sky Snake? Is this all you bring back?” A white-robed figure seated on an icy throne stared emotionlessly at the old man prostrated on the floor. His voice sent a chill through the hall.
“Valley Master, the mission’s failure was not my fault. Intelligence was incorrect. There was a Dou Zun among the group. I am fortunate to have escaped alive.”
“A Dou Zun? How powerful?”
“Probably just a first-rank Dou Zun. If stronger, I would not have escaped.”
“Ah, I see. So a first-rank Dou Zun can cause such trouble for Sky Snake.”
A voice, old and unimpressed by Dou Zun, chimed in. An elder in white fur stood in the corner, smiling as he spoke.
“Only a first-rank Dou Zun… We will not give up on the Calamity Poison Body. Do you know where they went?”
Sky Snake shook his head, ashamed. He had been too busy escaping to track the group.
The Valley Master frowned, a chilling aura spreading.
“Ice Lord, no need to be angry. We know where the group is heading,” a strange black mist appeared in the hall, forming a figure. Chains rattled faintly within the mist.
“The Soul Temple? What brings you to our Ice Valley, an unusual guest…”
The Ice Lord’s calm response revealed no surprise.
“If the goal is the same, we might join forces. What do you think, Ice Lord?”
“The Calamity Poison Body is ours. You may take the others.”
The Ice Lord stood, his frosty breath spreading a chill. Glancing at the black figure, he added, “Very well. Let’s cooperate.”
In another place, in a spatial wormhole near the edge of the Dan Region, a group of figures appeared, their presence silencing the square. Their weakest member was at least a Battle Emperor, and the two elderly leaders in black commanded even the space around them with their profound auras.
They waited, looking at the twisted space, as a delicate figure emerged. The young girl in green landed gracefully, her gaze fixed on the direction of Ye City as she smiled, beautiful and serene. “Big Brother Xiao Yan, with Xun’er here, whoever dares to harm you… I’ll kill them.”
