Chapter 193: The Temptation of Immortality (1/2)

Lu Yun didn’t even have time to catch his breath after entering the netherworld. Stuffing a handful of healing pills into his mouth, he circulated his mystic force with closed eyes.

Pfft.

Blood seeped out as a crimson mist from all his pores, dying his clothes red. All of his bones, flesh, and meridians spontaneously crumbled away. Not even the pills he’d taken could stop his body’s destruction. The aura of the nine-headed phoenix was just too much for him to handle, even without any physical contact between the two. Its terrifying aura alone was sufficient to almost destroy him!

“This is bad!” Yuying gravely manifested a pill cauldron on instinct—the very treasure that had been buried with her.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

No sooner had the cauldron appeared than the Emerald Mistfire, Lucent Voidfire, and Daevic Skyfire emerged as well. They settled over Lu Yun like a blanket and whisked him into the cauldron. Yuying threw numerous ingredients of great vitality into it. Pill refinement!

She was going to refine Lu Yun like a supreme pill!

“Xuanxi, Feinie, come help me!” she called out.

In the seaside stronghold and on the banks of Dusk River, Feinie and Xuanxi opened their eyes at the same time and entered the Gates of the Abyss with a simple turn. Sensing Lu Yun’s condition twisted their expressions considerably.

“Master’s body and soul have almost shattered. I will use master’s body as the main ingredient and refine the Void Meridian Pill to cure his wounds!”

Xuanxi and Feinie blinked, struck dumb with amazement. This was to refine a person into a pill and the void into their meridians!

It wasn’t precisely a pill, per se, but a method that was capable of saving someone with even a shattered body and broken soul. Of course, the success rate was very low. It was said that an ancient celestial emperor had revived his dying son that way, but other than him, no one else had ever been known to succeed.

“Don’t do anything to him,” came a soft voice from Violetgrave, which lay beside Lu Yun. “His constitution is unique, so this injury is nothing to him. A Void Meridian Pill? Whether the refining process succeeds or not makes no difference to him.”

The sword gently rose into the air and transformed into a young girl in violet dress.

“Who are you?!” Yuying, Feini, and Xuanxi looked warily at her. Hell and the Tome of Life and Death were Lu Yun’s greatest secrets that not even Qing Han knew the truth of. This stranger nonchalantly showing up was certainly a stunning development!

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that you don’t touch him.” The girl dimpled and released Lu Yun from the cauldron with a wave of violet light.

His clothes burned away by the three immortal fires, a completely naked Lu Yun sat cross-legged in midair. A tiny black flame ignited in his dantian and slowly spread through his entire body.

Whoosh!

Hellfire forced out the three immortal fires that Yuying had incorporated into Lu Yun’s body; they’d already been at work healing him.

“Is this… rebirth?!” The three envoys gawked in shock. Their master was coming back to life the way only a phoenix could! A thought struck them at the same time; the three ladies whirled around and saw a girl with crimson hair standing silently behind them.
