"Pope."
Ling Xiao said somewhat awkwardly.
Bibi Dong smiled, "What, are you shy? I thought you wouldn't know the meaning of the word."
Being teased like this by Bibi Dong, Ling Xiao became increasingly embarrassed, secretly feeling lucky that he had entered the tub early. If he had been a moment later, it would have been trouble. Stripping in front of Bibi Dong... he really couldn't handle that.
Ahem!
Mu Chen couldn't help but cough, breaking the awkward atmosphere surrounding Ling Xiao.
"Alright, Xiao'er, the moment for your body reshaping has arrived. Success or failure is decided by this single stroke."
Ling Xiao clenched his fists slightly and took a deep breath, silently telling himself to calm down quickly and stop thinking about nonsense.
Mu Chen's storage ring glowed again, and two small jade bottles appeared.
The bottles were exquisitely crafted, one cyan and one blue.
As soon as they appeared, they captured the attention of both Bibi Dong and Ling Xiao. If Ling Xiao was only attracted by the appearance of the bottles, Bibi Dong sensed the powerful auras within them through her formidable spiritual cultivation.
The aura of the medicinal pill in the blue jade bottle was strong and filled with energy similar to spiritual power, yet compared to other high-grade pills, it wasn't overly extraordinary.
However, the aura within the cyan jade bottle truly baffled Bibi Dong. Its power far exceeded the former, yet it was filled with a creative spiritual nature, something no ordinary high-tier pill could compare to.
She thought to herself: Old Mu truly is the strongest Alchemist of the Medicine King Valley lineage. Likely, if one searched the entire Douluo Continent, only the Sect Master of the Divine Fire Pill Sect could stand as his peer.
Under Ling Xiao's gaze, Mu Chen took a pill emitting a white-jade glow from the blue bottle.
It looked like a pearl, with wisps of pure soul power circulating over it—truly miraculous. This was a Tier 7 Pill, the Spirit-Protecting Pill, which had the effect of guarding the soul and protecting the mind. It was a top-tier treasure for resisting inner demons and spiritual attacks.
"Xiao'er, open your mouth and take this Spirit-Protecting Pill," Mu Chen said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao immediately opened his mouth.
As soon as he did, Mu Chen flicked his finger.
The white-jade Spirit-Protecting Pill flew out instantly, leaving a white-jade energy trail in the air. Even though a Tier 7 pill possessed a hint of spirituality and knew how to flee from an Alchemist's hand, with Mu Chen's strength, how could there be a chance for it to escape?
The moment the Spirit-Protecting Pill entered his mouth, Ling Xiao felt a sense of coolness.
It wasn't a physical coldness, but a sensation that reached the depths of his soul, as if his entire being had been baptized. Soon, the Spirit-Protecting Pill melted on his tongue, turning into a clear stream that he swallowed completely.
The coolness in his mind became more pronounced. Ling Xiao felt his spirit soar, and his soul perception was greatly enhanced.
His Martial Soul and soul power felt clear and controllable, and his five senses became extremely sharp. Everything around him was within his perception, giving him a feeling of total mastery over his surroundings.
He couldn't help but marvel inwardly at how miraculous the pill was.
Right after Ling Xiao took the Spirit-Protecting Pill, a pill emitting a cyan halo and a faint golden light was taken out of the other jade bottle by Mu Chen.
This was the Sovereign Heaven Bone-Refining Pill he had painstakingly researched, possessing the creative power to reverse the postnatal state back into the primordial innate state.
It was ranked as a Tier 9 Pill. When the pill was formed, it had triggered nine Pill Lightning, surpassing the levels of Treasure Pills and Mysterious Pills.
In terms of quality, it could be called a Tier 9 Golden Pill. At its birth, its intelligence was so high it rivaled a human's, and it had to be forcibly erased. Without saying a word, Ling Xiao took the Sovereign Heaven Bone-Refining Pill and swallowed it.
The pill melted instantly.
At first, Ling Xiao only felt the pill was incredibly warm and smooth, feeling very gentle as he swallowed it. However, he didn't expect that after only a few breaths, a boundless medicinal power would instantly release from within, exploding inside his body.
Ling Xiao felt a massive power, like a volcanic eruption, rampaging through his internals and impacting his entire body.
Simultaneously, a limitless agony, even greater than a flood, submerged him.
"Aaaah!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Ling Xiao was still forced to scream by the intense pain.
It came so swiftly and violently that for a moment, Ling Xiao only wanted to faint. Unfortunately, the power of the Spirit-Protecting Pill was taking effect, preventing his mind from breaking its defensive line under the pain, making him "taste" the agony even more clearly.
He clenched his fists, his nails piercing deep into his palms, and he couldn't help but strike the walls of the tub.
It seemed this venting could slightly lessen his pain.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As if a bag filled with water had been punctured, a large amount of blood mist suddenly sprayed from Ling Xiao's body. His screams gradually stopped; it seemed he no longer even had the strength to cry out and could only passively endure the pain.
The power of the Spirit-Protecting Pill was pushed to its limit, only able to ensure his mind didn't collapse, but his thoughts were drowning in an ocean of pain with no shore in sight.
As the blood mist sprayed out in large quantities, Ling Xiao's entire body seemed on the verge of collapsing at that instant.
Right then, a jade-green light suddenly descended from the sky.
An emerald-green talisman floated in front of Bibi Dong. Its material looked like ordinary paper, but the runes drawn upon it were incredibly complex, seemingly representing a powerful and mysterious force.
Bibi Dong raised her jade-like hand, and boundless soul power fluctuations spread out.
Under the full mobilization of her soul power, nine soul rings appeared one after another. The brilliant soul power connected to the talisman. Driven by Bibi Dong's soul power, this extremely mysterious talisman continuously released beams of jade-green light, covering Ling Xiao's body.
It immediately showed an astonishing effect.
Under the illumination of this green light, Ling Xiao's body—which was gradually collapsing under the impact of the medicinal power—actually began to repair itself rapidly. Ling Xiao's tightly furrowed brows seemed to relax slightly.
The explosion of the Sovereign Heaven Bone-Refining Pill caused his body to constantly break down, but the green light constantly healed it.
The two forces miraculously reached a balance, ensuring both the exertion of the medicinal power and that Ling Xiao's body wouldn't be destroyed by it.
Seeing everything proceeding steadily, Mu Chen secretly felt relieved.
It was worth asking Bibi Dong for help.
Looking at the talisman emitting powerful life energy, he couldn't help but sigh, "The power of this Life Ancestral Symbol is indeed formidable. Even when driven by a Soul Master who does not specialize in life energy."
"As long as their cultivation is sufficient, they can display life power at the Titled Douluo level. The life power shown right now, even in terms of pure healing effect alone, has already surpassed Director Sun at the Soul Douluo level."
"Among healing Martial Souls, perhaps only the possessor of the Nine-Hearted Begonia can obtain healing power comparable to this at the Soul Douluo level."
Bibi Dong currently needed to expend her energy to drive the Life Ancestral Symbol to heal Ling Xiao's body and prevent it from collapsing under the medicinal impact.
However, hearing Mu Chen's words, she shook her head and said, "Director, you overpraise me. The Life Ancestral Symbol is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, in the final analysis, it comes from the Heaven Symbol Sect."
"Without the inheritance of the Heaven Symbol Sect, it is difficult to fully bring out the true power of this symbol."
