Chapter 78 Refining the Azure Lotus Core Fire

After a while, Su Yun completely digested the information in his mind.

Taking a long breath, he approached the Azure Lotus Core Fire.

The Azure Lotus Fire quietly waited in the space, magnificent and beautiful.

Su Yun placed everything needed to refine the Azure Lotus Core Fire not far away.

Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and Nalings!

To be safe, Su Yun began to search for refining body techniques in his mind.

Refining a foreign fire would inevitably encounter unimaginable pain for ordinary people. Strengthening the body even a little bit was better than nothing.

Although his magic core reserves were insufficient to cultivate body refining techniques above the Earth realm, having a few more Xuan-tier advanced ones could still be somewhat useful.

He cherished his life greatly, so having a higher success rate was beneficial.

"Vajra Arhat Body, integrate!"

"..."

"Lion-Tiger Body Refining Technique, integrate!"

"..."

"Dragon Elephant Forging Body Technique, integrate!"

Under Su Yun's operation, he integrated three Xuan-tier advanced body refining techniques.

Feeling the abundant power throughout his body, Su Yun's uneasy heart finally gained some confidence.

With just one Xuan-tier advanced technique, his body could be comparable to a fourth-rank demonic beast. With four techniques now, even his weakest body could rival that of a fifth-rank demonic beast, right?

Su Yun took a deep breath, rested for a while, and adjusted his state to its peak.

Let's do it!

He grabbed the Blood Lotus Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the Blood Lotus Pill entered his body, a chilly energy spread through his meridians and bones.

In no time, Su Yun's whole body was enveloped in a layer of blood-red keratin, like a suit of blood-red armor.

Su Yun used his internal vision to inspect his meridians and internal organs, nodding in approval at the tightly sealed blood-red keratin covering them.

Extending his blood-red right hand, he reached for the center of the azure lotus platform where the Azure Lotus Core Fire was waiting.

The azure flames carried terrifying temperatures that ordinary people dared not approach.

Protected by the blood-red keratin formed by the Blood Lotus Pill, Su Yun's right hand penetrated the eerie azure flames without hesitation, aiming for the core of the Azure Lotus Core Fire.

As soon as Su Yun's right hand touched the Azure Lotus Core Fire, the blood-red keratin on his hand melted rapidly.

Although Su Yun's face changed, his hand didn't hesitate but instead accelerated, reaching for the fire seed.

Although the blood-red keratin was quickly melted by the Azure Lotus Core Fire, a new layer of blood-red keratin appeared on Su Yun's hand, stubbornly resisting the Azure Lotus Core Fire.

Seeing that the medicinal effect of the Blood Lotus Pill had not yet fully played out and there was still some strength left, Su Yun felt slightly relieved.

He focused all his attention on his right hand, and finally, a strand of liquid resembling blue magma was grasped by Su Yun.

Looking at the thing in his hand, Su Yun understood that it was the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire!

With a deep breath, Su Yun swallowed the fire seed in one gulp!

It was painful, incredibly painful!

Su Yun gritted his teeth, sinking his consciousness into his body.

The fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire flowed through Su Yun's meridians, emitting a terrifying blue flame that burned his meridians.

However, with the protection of the blood-red keratin on his meridians and the continued efficacy of the Blood Lotus Pill, his meridians were not instantly burned through.

Su Yun's face flashed with a hint of pain as he immediately took the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and swallowed it.

The cold stream flowed through his meridians, counteracting the temperature of the Azure Lotus Core Fire, making Su Yun feel a bit more comfortable.

Without stopping, both the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring could only temporarily counteract the Azure Lotus Core Fire. If it continued for too long, he would be evaporated by the terrifying temperature!

Su Yun crazily mobilized the Qi in his body, inexhaustibly pouring it towards the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire.

Under Su Yun's Qi manipulation, the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire slowly followed the route of the Incinerating Cold Technique.

Throughout the process, Su Yun endured inhuman pain.

As time passed, even with the protection of the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, cracks began to appear in his meridians, making them riddled with holes.

What was more dangerous was that the medicinal effects of the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring were almost depleted!

A ferocious grin flashed across Su Yun's face. It was almost time, he was about to complete one full circulation of his Qi!

With terrifying determination, Su Yun finally completed one full circulation of his Qi before the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring were depleted, carrying the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire along the path of the Incinerating Cold Technique.

It was at this moment that the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire seemed to calm down, beginning to converge within Su Yun's meridians and completely hide its temperature within the fire seed.

Seeing this, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the nearby Naling, and enveloped it in Qi, circulating it within his meridians.

Next, it was time to contain the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire within the Naling.

Su Yun inspected the situation inside his body with his internal vision. The Naling was waiting in his meridians, while the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire remained quiet in Su Yun's meridians, not sensing any danger yet.

Su Yun extracted Qi from his Dantian and circulated it in his meridians, enveloping the Naling.

Feeling the swelling sensation in the meridians near the Naling, Su Yun knew he had reached the limit.

If he infused more Qi, this meridian would probably not be able to withstand it.

With a burst of Qi poised to erupt, Su Yun immediately directed it towards the Azure Lotus Core Fire's fire seed.

The fire seed seemed to sense danger and tried to dodge as the Naling approached.

But with a calculated move, the fire seed of the Azure Lotus Core Fire couldn't escape.

Although spiritual, it didn't mean it had intelligence. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easily contained by Su Yun in the system space earlier.

The Naling's speed was extremely fast. Before the fire seed could react, it was swallowed by the Naling.

A hint of joy finally flashed in Su Yun's eyes as he used Qi to envelop the Naling, carrying it towards his Dantian.

Watching the Naling quietly waiting in his Dantian, Su Yun couldn't suppress his ecstasy any longer.

"Hahaha... Oh, sorry, got choked up there, cough cough."

Su Yun coughed and took out some pills to heal his internal injuries and meridians.

Su Yun's process of refining the Azure Lotus Core Fire may have seemed short, but in reality, half a day had passed.

At this point, outside, Medusa Queen's Qi had fully recovered.

She put on a luxurious robe from her spatial ring and looked at the still motionless Flame Crystal Sphere with a

 hint of annoyance.

Putting the Flame Crystal Sphere into her spatial ring, the Medusa Queen headed towards the ground.

When she descended, there were a group of humans at the entrance of the cave. Perhaps they would know something.

Moreover, she had sensed a familiar aura on the ground just now.

A cold smile flashed across the Medusa Queen's lips. The old guy came quite quickly.

The speed of a Dou Emperor was astonishing. In less than half a minute, the Medusa Queen's figure appeared on the ground.

Hmph.

Sure enough, an old man in a hemp robe was waiting at the entrance of the cave.

And the humans from before were all nearby.
