C11 (1/2)

Ling Xiao took the herbs Allens bought and placed the items on the ground one by one.

Gayaro muttered to himself, ”Stones of condensation, hardening heart stones, forging meridian sand and Spirit Recovering Grass, with these few things, I can refine the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead that will help you wash your muscles and clear your marrow.”

”Can we start refining the Bone Ablutionary Dan now?” Ling Xiao couldn't wait any longer.

”Now is the time for us to not attract attention. We need to hurry up and refine the pill so that you can be reborn before dawn.” Gayaro made the final decision.

Even though Ling Xiao knew almost nothing about alchemy, he knew that there were a lot of things that needed to be prepared. He asked: ”But we don't have anything.”

Gayaro squatted on Ling Xiao's shoulder and looked over at him with a hint of disdain, ”A level one pill like this Bone Ablutionary Dan, you don't even need a cauldron to successfully refine it. Only you are strong enough.”

Ling Xiao hadn't lit up his alchemy skills yet, but something as trivial as refining a Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead had to be done by a godly beast that had just learned how to walk.

Before handing over the control of his body to Gayaro, he purposely stopped his actions and explained to Ling Xiao, ”My body is not well controlled now, so I won't need your help when my body grows in the future.”

He was worried that Ling Xiao might have a grudge against him. After all, most people abstain from situations where they are not under his control even though they are clearly their own bodies.

Ling Xiao nodded and didn't say anything. It was difficult for him, who had been betrayed in succession, to completely let down his guard in a short period of time, but he had been trying to overcome it.

After all, this was his only hope of turning things around.

Gayaro controlled Ling Xiao's body, but his soul was still awake, thus he was able to watch the entire process of refining the pill.

Just when Gayaro was about to take a stance and use his surging inner strength, a light blue flame appeared out of nowhere on Ling Xiao's thin hands. The flame continued to emit heat.

If someone were to touch this seemingly harmless flame at this moment, they would probably be instantly burnt to ashes by the extremely high temperature and not even ashes would remain.

In fact, the moment the light blue flame appeared, Ling Xiao somehow felt the flame's threat and knew that it was definitely not as simple as it looked.

At this moment, Gayaro kindly offered his understanding with a voice that couldn't conceal the pride in it, ”This is my heart's fire. Even a Martial King wouldn't dare to lightly touch his body.”

Martial Monarch?!

Ling Xiao was shocked. Even on the continent that he was on, a Martial King was not someone that could be easily found. Even a first level Martial King could occupy a region and gain fame.

What shocked Ling Xiao the most was not the destructive power of the Heart Flame, but the lack of reverence in Gayaro's tone when he mentioned the Martial Monarch. It had to be known that the further one's martial arts progressed, the harder it would be for it to level up. Martial Cultivator who were stuck at the doorstep and unable to step over for their entire lives were everywhere, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

Who exactly is Gayaro? Just how strong was he? Was it a Martial Monarch? Or was it some other higher level existence? Why did it appear in the land of nothingness? What was his purpose in helping her?

Suddenly, Ling Xiao did not dare to think further. He forced himself to calm down and see how Gayaro was going to refine the pills.
