Chapter 930: Tier 4 Body Tempering Pill

Many moments pa.s.sed since Lord Ji"s crystal turned pitch black, but he hasn"t uttered a single word since then.

Yuan could no longer wait and asked him, "Hey, what"s the Heavens" judgment? Judging by the ominous color, it can"t be anything good, right?"

Lord Ji finally snapped out of his daze and turned to face Yuan with a profound frown on his face.

And without explaining anything, he turned around and flew away.

"What the heck? He"s running away?" Yuan was dumbfounded by the Lord"s action.

"Hey! Where are you going?! Come back here and explain the situation!"

He thought about chasing after Lord Ji, but he decided to let him go for now.

"What was that all about?" w.a.n.g Xiuying approached him afterward and asked.

"I have no idea." Yuan shrugged.

"Anyways, are you hurt?" He asked her.

"I should be asking you that question."

"I"m fine." Yuan smiled.

"I apologize… If I didn"t leave the sect, none of this would"ve happened." Sect Master Xiahou apologized to him again.

"Don"t kick yourself. It"s not your fault." Yuan shook his head,

"By the way, what are you guys doing here?" Yuan turned to look at the other Sect Masters.

"We were in a meeting when you interrupted us… again." Sect Master Li said.

"After hearing about the situation from Sect Master Xiahou, we decided to tag along just in case." Bai Enjue said.

"Just in case what? That I decided to destroy this place? Do I look like a villain to you? I am a reasonable person. I won"t harm innocent people." Yuan laughed out loud.

"Anyways, let"s go back. I want to soak in some hot water after all that. Luckily, I have a cauldron and some pills that I want to test out."

While Yuan and w.a.n.g Xiuying returned to the sect, Sect Master Xiahou called for disciples to clean up the mess caused by the incident.

Elder Gu and Gu Zhiting"s corpses were gathered, st.i.tched up, and sent back to the Gu Family.

As for the collapsed cave, the Sect Master decided to completely demolish it.

The other Sect Masters returned to their own sect shortly after.

"My G.o.d, Yuan. It hasn"t even been a full day since you arrived and you"ve already caused so much chaos." w.a.n.g Xiuying said to him after they returned to her living quarters.

"You"re blaming me? I am the victim here!" He exclaimed.

"I know, it"s just a joke. By the way, are you really going to temper yourself with the Tier 4 and Tier 5 Body Tempering Pills? I really think you should hold off on them for now."

Yuan smiled, "Have some faith in me."

"Anyways, how do I use this thing?" He showed her the cauldron he just got.

"You need to form a connection with it first. Drop some of your blood on it and establish a connection with your spiritual sense. After that, you will be able to change its size with a thought."

Yuan nodded and dropped some of his blood onto the cauldron.

After he injected some of his spiritual energy into the cauldron, he could immediately feel a connection to it, almost like his connections with his servants.

Once the connection was strong enough, Yuan could change the cauldron"s size with a mere thought, and it felt extremely natural, almost as though he"d been doing it for years.

"Wow, this is big enough to fit four people!" Yuan was pleasantly surprised by the cauldron"s maximum size.

"Now you fill the cauldron up with water and heat it up using a flame technique. If you don"t have any fire-making techniques, I can help you." w.a.n.g Xiuying said.

"Actually, I might have one. However, I have never used it."

Yuan proceeded to activate a technique that he"d learned early on but never got the chance to use—

[Heavenly Fire Control]

A ball of flame appeared on Yuan"s palms.

"What do you think? It"s a Mortal-rank technique meant for cooking." Yuan said with a smile on his face.

w.a.n.g Xiuying rubbed her temples and sighed, "You won"t be able to warm the cauldron with such a pitifully weak fire, much less warm the water…"

"I-Is that so…Well, its description does say "regular" fire." Yuan shrugged.

"Don"t worry, I will help you heat up the—"

However, before w.a.n.g Xiuying could even finish her sentence, Feng Yuxiang appeared beside Yuan and used her phoenix fire to heat up the cauldron almost instantly.

"Y-You are…" w.a.n.g Xiuying stared at Feng Yuxiang"s pretty face for a moment before turning to admire her beautiful golden flames.

"Wow… What pretty and powerful flames. This must be named Alchemy Flame!"

"Huh? Alchemy Flame? How dare you compare my Phoenix fire to Alchemy Flames! My flames are much more special than any Alchemy Flame out there!" Feng Yuxiang said in a bragging tone.

"Huh? Phoenix fire? I have never heard of such a thing before," said w.a.n.g Xiuying in a dazed voice.

"I"m not surprised." Feng Yuxiang sneered.

Yuan smiled and said, "Feng Feng is a Divine Beast— a Phoenix."

"Wow, a phoenix? First dragons, now a phoenix? I always meet these mythical beings whenever I am with you, Yuan." w.a.n.g Xiuying smiled.

Sometime later, Yuan tossed the Tier 4 Body Tempering Pill into the boiling hot water and watched it disappear almost instantly, turning the clear water into a murky green color.

Yuan waited for a few more moments just to be safe before removing his clothes and entering the cauldron.

"I-I should wait outside…" w.a.n.g Xiuying said with a flushed face after seeing Yuan"s naked body.

"You can stay. I don"t mind." Yuan said to her as he sat down.

After taking a deep breath, he started absorbing the medicine, officially starting his body tempering.

Yuan immediately gritted his teeth when he sensed pain, but it wasn"t unbearable.

In fact, it was nowhere near as painful as his first experience and when he tempered his body with Chu Liuxiang with the dragon scales.

"How do you feel, Yuan? You don"t have to force yourself…" w.a.n.g Xiuying said to him in a nervous voice.

"I"m fine. This much pain is very bearable," he calmly said.

"No way…" She mumbled with a dumbfounded look on her face.
