Chapter 226: Chapter 222: Refining Ten Thousand Souls, Forging the Golden Body, Dragon Witch, Bone Demon Evolution!!
Regarding Chu Yi’s flattery, this Witch Lolita was quite pleased. She patted Chu Yi on the shoulder but, realizing she wasn’t tall enough, withdrew her hand.
Suddenly, she thought of that towering figure standing in the whirlwind—handsome and charming. Her face heated up slightly, and she turned her head shyly, awkwardly saying, "You’re great too. Don’t worry, Yao Er will protect you."
"Alright, I’m going to heal now."
Chu Yi glanced at her, feeling bored. He walked to a corner and directed his consciousness into the kitchen.
He had long since placed the lantern in the kitchen, isolating it from the Lantern Girl’s perception. Otherwise, with this Witch Lolita’s methods, how could it have remained hidden from the Lantern Girl?
He immersed himself in the kitchen, staring at a peculiar lantern. A delicate severed hand still clung to it, its wrist white as frost and skin snow-white.
The severed hand of the Lantern Girl could also be used as an ingredient for a banquet.
There are a large number of souls in the lantern; I cannot be mistaken.
Chu Yi used kitchen tools to cut open the White Bone Lantern. As soon as he made a slit, whispers poured out, containing an unknown number of souls.
This was also the reason Chu Yi had seized the lantern. These souls were enough for him to temper his Golden Body and advance to the next stage of the Bone Demon’s evolution!
But making them into a banquet dish would be even better!
Chu Yi’s eyes sparkled, blazing brightly. This caused the neglected Witch Lolita beside him to glance over repeatedly, tilting her head in curiosity.
He took out the Divine Flower he had recently acquired—a sky-blue, lotus-shaped flower—which he smashed into thirteen lotus petals.
[Divinity*13]!
He took out two parts, mixing them with the souls inside the lantern to create a high-quality banquet dish: a pot of wine.
[Banquet Dish]: Soul Wine
[Star Level]: ★★★
[Quality]: Delicious
[Effect]: Amplifies souls, refines the Divine Soul, with various healing effects, and has a chance to induce soul transformation.
[Evaluation]: This exquisite wine should have been brewed with the souls of myriad Fierce Ghosts, enhanced with materials like osmanthus blossoms, starlight leaves, and golden mint, utilizing thirty-six ancient techniques. Yet, you skipped over these steps so simply. No comment. Hmph!
[Reward]: Evolution Points +25
No perfect quality? Is it because I added too little Divinity?
Chu Yi clicked his tongue and glanced at the White Jade Bottle, now full of wine. He opened the cap, and a cool fragrance of osmanthus and mint filled his mind, making his whole body tingle as if he had been soaking in a hot spring enjoying a long massage.
Just the smell was enough to soothe the soul. Chu Yi licked his lips and took a gentle sip.
Instantly, the wine carried an incredibly pure Soul Power, which flowed into his limbs and bones, penetrating his soul and making him uncontrollably comfortable. He felt as light as if his soul were glowing, gradually gaining a sense of buoyancy, as if he could leap into the sky.
Then, he really did ascend to the sky.
His soul, like a feather, floated out from the constraints of flesh and blood, yet it was extraordinarily condensed, emitting a hazy halo.
Am I... having an out-of-body experience?
Chu Yi was amazed. Drinking the Soul Wine—just one sip—had allowed his soul to detach from his control. It was unbelievable.
If I drank a few more sips, would it trigger the soul transformation chance?
He pondered for a bit, but the next moment, the Bone Demon greedily absorbed this Soul Power. Its bones gradually brightened, shimmering with golden light. The efficiency of the Soul Wine was dozens of times higher than directly absorbing souls and refining bones. His bones were transforming to gold!
"Trickster, what happened to you?"
The Witch Lolita noticed something amiss and walked over. She glanced at the young man seated on the ground, his entire body radiant, with strands of golden light entwining him like a mesh of dazzling electric arcs.
She was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning. Her delicate body paused, then irresistibly slumped to the ground. Her verdant pupils flashed with a hint of golden light, echoing the gold radiating from the young man.
It was as if... something on Chu Yi responded to her.
No, not good... Not now, of all times,
She bit her lip tightly, a sharp fang visible at its edge. She held back the urge to devour the boy, her expression pained as she quickly fled to the side. Brue, startled, quickly followed, transforming into a green luminescence that sank into her locks of hair.
SNAP...
The petite figure suddenly grew tall, her body becoming seductive. A pair of fair, pink, gracefully lined legs emerged, covered in bright green-gold scales. The ground beneath her cracked into deep pits.
ROAR—
A bizarre deer charged over but was instead gripped by a fair hand around its neck, slammed to the ground, and exploded into ash!
BOOM—
The small fist, still relentless, smashed into the earth. From this point, a massive chasm extended for hundreds of meters, blasting countless "Beasts" away along its path.
Dust rolled, and a terrifying domain rapidly radiated outward. Through the billowing dust, a delicate hand appeared. It was covered in a glove adorned with Dragon Scales, its sharp claws grabbing a card.
The feeling of my true form returning is quite nice, she thought. How much of a challenge can this game present?
Her long green hair fluttered without wind, smooth as satin; on each side of her head sprouted a small, golden dragon horn. Her thick eyelashes quivered slightly. Her dark golden dragon eyes, filled with majesty, overlooked the "Beasts" rushing up in panic. A curve formed at the corner of her lips as her fists clashed, forming a Dragon’s Mark composed of Fairy Script.
"Boring."
Then her cherry lips parted slightly. Her fingertips gently touched the Dragon’s Mark, and where her gaze fell, the sky and earth crumbled! Countless "Beasts," embodiments of rules, were shattered into nothingness beneath this mark!
The Dragon Witch, Mu Yun.
「...」
PHEW...
Chu Yi slowly opened his eyes, a golden flash flickering within them. After drinking the Soul Wine, his Golden Body had been successfully refined.
But where did that silly Lolita go?
Chu Yi glanced around but saw no sign of Yao Er. He vaguely remembered the Lolita disappearing into the white mist with a hurried look. Was she scouting?
Forget it, I won’t worry about that now.
Chu Yi felt the enhancement from the Golden Body. A powerful force surged through his limbs and bones like a waterfall; his physique far surpassed that of a gold-level Beast Tamer! His Spirituality also climbed to Silver Level Six. Besides this, he had mastered some soul techniques, like the out-of-body experience.
The Golden Body grants me many capabilities. Besides unparalleled physical might and being Vajra Indestructible, the most important thing is that I no longer fear ghosts and demons.
Chu Yi made a fist, releasing a ring of blood and energy that contained a terrifying Divine Power. One punch could destroy a mountain; this was no exaggeration. This is a technique of the Golden Body; I no longer need to fear the oddities of this place. Even the Power of Rules of the "Beasts"—I can counter it with the blood and energy transformed by the Golden Body, even shatter it!
But the greatest surprise for Chu Yi was that it opened the evolution path for the Bone Demon along the Golden Body route!
The next moment, he immersed his mind, opened the evolution compendium, and initiated the Bone Demon’s evolution!
