Chapter 116 Success!
Now, the body in front of the two of them looked plump and healthy, with a rosy complexion, as if a person were sleeping there. It did not look like a dried corpse that had been dead for many years, nor did it look like it had been burned by strange fire.
However, Xiao Feng knew very well that things were not over yet. There was still a crucial step to be completed. Although Yao Chen had now merged with the corpse, this was only the initial fusion. To completely merge with the body and make it fundamentally the same, they needed to continue the process.
Seeing this, Xiao Shui, who was watching from the side, didn't care whether Yao Chen could hear him or not, and shouted loudly to him, "Yao Chen, hang in there! You must hang in there!"
He knew very well how cruel and painful what was to come would be, and that Yao Chen had to overcome these difficulties and pains if he wanted to be truly resurrected, otherwise he might lose his life! It was for this reason that he was very worried, his hands were clenched tightly, and his face was full of anxiety.
Under the watchful eyes of Xiao Feng and Xiao Feng, the already remarkably well-recovered body continued to regenerate flesh and blood. This growth exceeded the body's capacity, causing its overall shape to change again, quickly forming a fleshy cocoon. Seeing this, Xiao Feng understood that the effects of the Blood-Generating Bone-Melting Pill were still taking hold.
The strange fire reappeared in Xiao Feng's palm, and under his control, it burned the body on the stone platform before him. The temperature of the strange fire was simply too high! Under this terrifying heat, all the flesh and blood that had grown on this body was burned to nothingness, leaving not a trace!
However, at this moment, new flesh and blood grew again, and it quickly returned to its previous appearance. In fact, it grew excessively again. Seeing this, Xiao Feng once again controlled the strange fire to burn on his body. Under the continuous burning of Xiao Feng's strange fire, new flesh and blood reappeared again and again, each time more condensed than the previous one.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Feng withdrew the still-burning strange fire. New flesh and blood rapidly grew once again, and a bloody, mangled humanoid outline appeared in front of him, instantly transforming back to its previous form.
However, this time the physical body looked more refined and powerful than the last, as if a terrifying power was hidden beneath the flesh and blood.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng turned to Xiao Shui beside him and said, "It's completely finished. Now we just need to wait for Yao Chen to fully familiarize himself with this body, and the renowned Medicine Venerable Yao Chen will be able to truly be resurrected!"
After saying that, he and Xiao Shui left one after the other. What happened next was beyond their help; it all depended on Yao Chen. How long it would take for him to adapt to and take control of his body was impossible to estimate. Again, it all depended on him!
After leaving the secret chamber, Xiao Feng and Xiao Shui parted ways. Xiao Feng went to inspect the current situation of the Xiao Clan, while Xiao Shui returned to the alchemy hall to begin secluded cultivation.
To reshape one's body and be resurrected from the dead—this was nothing short of miraculous, a creation of heaven and earth! To witness such a thing happen firsthand, to witness the process of resurrection, was an eye-opening experience for Xiao Shui. At the same time, this event seemed to have given him some inspiration, allowing him to gain more insights into breaking through to the next realm. It was precisely for this reason that he was so eager to go into seclusion.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. On this day, a terrifying aura emanated from the secret chamber and continued to spread outwards.
This aura was extremely terrifying, and almost all the clansmen in the inner layer felt it at the same time. However, such a situation was not unusual in the inner layer where powerful people were everywhere, so it did not attract much attention, and no one was so bored as to search for the master behind this aura.
This sudden change could not be kept from Xiao Feng. The moment he sensed the aura, he understood what had happened. He flashed to the outside of the secret chamber and then waved his sleeve, sealing off the entire space and preventing the power emanating from Yao Chen from spreading further.
After a long while, a muffled sound rang out, boom! boom! The heavy stone door slowly opened, and a figure appeared in Xiao Feng's eyes.
The person in front of me had white hair, a somewhat aged face but not obviously so, and a well-proportioned figure. He appeared to be a middle-aged or elderly person, but in reality, he seemed much younger.
"Yao Chen greets the Clan Chief!" Upon seeing Xiao Feng, the man before him knelt down with a loud thud and said to Xiao Feng, "Clan Chief, Yao Chen will never forget your kindness! From this day forward, Yao Chen will follow your lead without hesitation and swear to serve you to the death!"
Seeing Yao Chen's actions, Xiao Feng was very satisfied, but he did not show any emotion on his face. He waved his hand, and an invisible force helped Yao Chen up.
After being helped up, Yao Chen gradually calmed down and felt somewhat ashamed of his previous actions, but his gratitude towards Xiao Feng remained undiminished.
To be honest, rebuilding his body and coming back to life was something he had long hoped for, but he also knew how difficult it was, and that he might never be able to do it in his lifetime, so it could be said to be a pipe dream for him.
But now Xiao Feng has actually helped him achieve it, and the various treasures he used are all top-notch, which has benefited him greatly. This kind of help and kindness can be described as a life-saving grace. His previous actions were not an exaggeration, but rather actions from the bottom of his heart!
After helping Yao Chen up, Xiao Feng carefully observed Yao Chen in front of him. Perhaps because of Yao Chen's own thoughts, although he looked somewhat old, he was still a handsome middle-aged man. His white hair did not make him look older, but rather added to his temperament. If he were given a folding fan and a white robe, he would truly be a refined master!
"Hmm, not bad!"
He then began to investigate Yao Chen's strength. Under his gaze, even if Yao Chen tried his best to hide it, he could not escape Xiao Feng's eyes. Moreover, Yao Chen had just been resurrected and could not fully control his aura, so it was even more obvious.
