The first rays of the morning sun shone brightly in the east. The deep sky shook off the blue veil and illuminated the earth.
"I wonder to what extent these two Raging Flame Pills can temper my physical body." Ye Chenfeng was soaking in a secluded cold pond deep in the Baiyun Mountain Range. He took out a Intense Flame Pill and swallowed it without diluting it.
The moment the Intense Flame Pill entered Ye Chenfeng's body, it immediately released a scorching heat that burned his body. Even though he had already swallowed the Intense Flame Pill before, the instant pain caused his face to turn pale.
Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and endured the scorching pain in his body. He began to cultivate the Six Meridians Divine Shield, fusing the scorching medicinal power released by the Intense Flame Pill into his cells and transforming his body.
Although the Intense Flame Pill's effect of tempering the body was obvious, the tempering process was extremely painful. Ye Chenfeng's meridians were burned full of holes by the scorching energy. The inhumane pain tormented him to the point where he wished he was dead.
Veins that looked like loaches were constantly moving on his forehead. His pale face was devoid of any color.
If not for the cold pond water counteracting a small portion of the Intense Flame Pill's medicinal power, the pain Ye Chenfeng was enduring would have been even more intense.
"Low-grade Soul Crystals, devour."
Ye Chenfeng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He quickly circulated the Soul Devouring Art and devoured the two Low-grade Soul Crystals in his palms, accelerating the transformation of his body.
As a large amount of medicinal power and soul power fused into Ye Chenfeng's body, his cells split faster and faster. A large amount of impurities in his body were expelled from his body through his opened pores.
Gradually, Ye Chenfeng's body became stronger and stronger. The pain in his body also decreased.
After about five hours, Ye Chenfeng finally succeeded in absorbing all the medicinal power of the Intense Flame Pill. The two Low-grade Soul Crystals in his palms did not have much soul power left.
"Huff huff, the tempering of my body is two-thirds complete. My strength has increased by nearly 500 kilograms. I estimate that after refining another Intense Flame Pill, my body tempering will be successful."
Ye Chenfeng, who was on the verge of collapsing, climbed up from the cold pond where white smoke was floating. He muttered to himself as he sensed the changes in his body.
Two-thirds of his body had been tempered, and his recovery ability had greatly increased. In just a dozen breaths of time, Ye Chenfeng's weakness had been swept away.
All the cells in his body crazily absorbed the thin Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth around him, restoring his physical strength.
"I hope the remaining Raging Flame Pill can help me complete the Body Tempering." Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and began to absorb the remaining soul power from the two low-grade soul crystals. He adjusted his condition and prepared to consume the last Raging Flame Pill.
While Ye Chenfeng was hiding in the Baiyun Mountains and working hard to break through to the second stage of the Six Meridians Divine Shield Realm, the assassins sent by the Jiang Clan secretly infiltrated White Emperor City to assassinate Ye Chenfeng and kidnap Ji Qingxue.
"Qingxue, I'm really sorry about that day. I didn't expect Lian Sanjun to frame Chengfeng. I hope you and Chengfeng don't mind."
Since Ye Chenfeng wasn't around, Ji Qingxue, who was bored, asked Bai Xiya out for a stroll. Bai Xiya said apologetically as they strolled along the bluestone streets of White Emperor City.
"It's okay. Chengfeng and I don't mind," Ji Qingxue said softly with a charming smile.
"Oh right, Qingxue, what kind of person is Chengfeng?" Bai Xiya asked softly. She wanted to know more about Ye Chenfeng from Ji Qingxue.
However, what Bai Xiya didn't know was that Ji Qingxue didn't know Ye Chenfeng at all. The reason why they had decided to live together for the rest of their lives was because of a deal.
"Chengfeng … He's a little stingy and a little chauvinistic, but … he can give people a sense of security …" Ji Qingxue said slowly.
Ji Qingxue pondered for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth. She herself didn't know that when she talked about Ye Chenfeng, there was a faint smile on her face.
As they talked, Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya arrived at the outskirts of White Emperor City, beside a white lake surrounded by reeds.
A cool breeze blew past, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the lake. The refreshing feeling made them feel even more relaxed and comfortable.
Just as they were about to find a deserted place to sit down and rest, Ji Qingxue suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her eyes revealed a deep sense of vigilance.
"What's wrong, Qingxue?"
Although Bai Xiya didn't sense any danger because of her strength, she still saw the suspicion on Ji Qingxue's face and asked nervously.
"Xiya, don't speak. Quickly follow me."
Ji Qingxue quickened her pace as she took out a black crystal that contained powerful soul power and held it in her hand.
"Two beauties, why are you in such a hurry? Where do you want to go?"
Just as Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya wanted to quickly return to the bustling White Emperor City, a cold voice that sounded like a poisonous snake entered their ears.
In the next moment, four men dressed in black with black cloth covering their faces and holding four silver swords appeared in front of them.
The powerful aura released by the four men made Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Seeing the murderous eyes of the four men, Bai Xiya's expression changed slightly. She forced herself to be calm and shouted loudly.
"Don't worry. As long as you cooperate and follow us obediently, we won't hurt you." The leader of the men in black said without a trace of emotion.
"You are from the Jiang Family?" Ji Qingxue asked with a serious expression. From the aura released by the four men, they were at least Class 6 spiritual beasts.
Only the Jiang Family in the entire Zi Jin Kingdom would dare to kidnap them and send such experts to do so.
"You talk too much nonsense. If you don't listen obediently, we will have to use force. Don't blame me for not warning you when you get hurt."
The leader of the men in black said coldly. With a sharp sword in his hand, he approached Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya step by step.
"Xiya, let's rush out." Ji Qingxue knew what kind of danger they would encounter if they were captured. Without hesitation, she released her soul power and condensed her spiritual beast, Ice Bird, and merged it into her body.
Ji Qingxue condensed her Ice Bird, and Bai Xiya, who was a Class 4 spiritual beast, also condensed her spiritual beast, White Snake, and merged it into her body to increase her strength.
"Charge!"
With Ji Qingxue's shout, the two of them rushed out like arrows, wanting to break out of the encirclement.
"Where do you think you are going?"
"Shadow Sword."
When the leader of the black-clothed men saw that the two girls were trying to escape, he immediately leaped into the air. The longsword in his hand shone with a green light, and a shadow sword qi slashed through the air towards the two girls, forcing them to dodge awkwardly and delaying their escape.
"Beast Illusionist, this man is really a Beast Illusionist."
Seeing the strength of the leader of the men in black, Ji Qingxue panicked. Even if her talent was amazing, she could not fight against a Beast Illusionist.
After using his soul skill to stop Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya, the four men in black immediately surrounded them and attacked them, wanting to kidnap them and leave by force.
Seeing that Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya were about to be captured, Ji Qingxue suddenly threw the black crystal hidden in her palm at the leader of the men in black at close range.
A loud "Bang" sound was heard, and the black crystal exploded. Then, a formidable power surged out like a tidal wave, and sent the four black-robed men flying. They didn't manage to dodge in time. Three of them were sixth-grade spirit beasts, and died on the spot.
Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya were also affected by the impact of the explosion of the black crystal. They fell heavily and were seriously injured.
At the critical moment, Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya ignored their injuries and struggled to get up from the ground.
