Chapter 143: Tempering the Flesh with Marrow Purification Elixir

  As Gu He looked at the eighteen bottles of Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk floating in front of him, he couldn't resist reag out to pie up.

  Opening the bottle cap, an incredibly pure energy emanated from the bottle.

  Gu He took a whiff ahat his Dou Qi was being stirred within his body.

  Then, he examihe tents of the jade bottle. Inside, a green liquid resembling jade wriggled like a living thing, dispyiraordinary natural properties.

  Gu He was amazed, his eyes filled with wonder. "This Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk should be perfect for creating Marrow Purification Elixir."

  As he held the bottle of Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, Gu He's mind was flooded with information. In his iance as a ninth-grade alchemist, he had learned a rather mystical method for produg Marrow Purification Elixir.

  Iingly, the method did not specify particur ingredients. Instead, the grade of the Marrow Purification Elixir produced depended on the main ingredient used. The higher the grade of the main ingredient, the higher the quality of the resulting elixir.

  "Using Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk as the main ingredient for Marrow Purification Elixir should produ elixir of around the seventh grade," Gu He estimated in his heart.

  A seventh-grade Marrow Purification Elixir would signifitly strengthen his physical body, which excited him.

  With an enhanced physical body, he hoped that the pain during cultivation and refining would be alleviated.

  Before creating the Marrow Purification Elixir, he o prepare some medial ingredients. Gu He decided to acquire a batch of them directly from the Miteer Au House.

  He wondered if Old Man Hai had returo the capital yet. sidering his speed, it would likely take another day or two for him to arrive.

  Gu He had returned on Little Gold's back, whose speed far surpassed the two-star Dou Emperor realm of Old Man Hai. Gu He specuted that Old Man Hai might need another day or two to return to the capital, not tiing time during the journey.

  After spending half a day, Gu He purchased a batch of high-quality medial ingredients from the Miteer Au House auro the Yu.

  Ba his courtyard, Gu He briefly informed the two maids and told them he would be going into seclusion for a few days. After that, he quietly left the Yu with Little Gold.

  Arriving at the mountain range where he had previously broken through, Gu He created a cave, did some simple preparations, and decided to use it as the location for his seclusion and breakthrough.

  The cave was dimly lit, so Gu He embedded several moonstone pieces into the walls, brightening the space.

  , he trated, and a wooden barrel filled with clear water materialized in the middle of the cave.

  Beside the wooden barrel, a stoable held various medial ingredients. There were dozens of different types, all of which Gu He had acquired from the Miteer Au House.

  At the cave's entrance, Little Gold transformed into its normal size, guarding the entraionlessly.

  Walking to the wooden barrel, Gu He focused his thoughts, and a sheep-fat jade bottle appeared in his hand. This jade bottle taihe Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk.

  Holding the jade bottle filled with "Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk," Gu He lightly assessed it. He then unscrewed the cap, and a faint emerald mist drifted out, eventually gealing at the bottle's mouth, persisting for a long time.

  Gu He deeply ihis mist a a mild warmth flow through his soul. He couldn't help but praise, "It deserves to be a spiritual entity formed by the densed energy of the earth. It's so pure and potent. No wo has such remarkable effearrow purification and boempering."

  Having offered his praise, Gu He picked up the jade bottle and carefully poured the emerald-like green liquid into the wooden barrel.

  As the Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk flowed into the wooden barrel, the clear water inside began visibly transf into a rich emerald oreover, a faint mist gradually permeated from the surface, lingering and appearing incredibly strange.

  Gu He attentively observed the ge in the liquid's color. He marveled at the purity and potency of the Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk. Even a sitle demonstrated such remarkable effects.

  The energy within the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was too immense. Even with his current strength, he didn't dare to e it directly. However, using it as the primary ingredient for Marrow Purification Elixir and blending it with other medial ingredients would help moderate its energy, making it safer to use.

  Recalling the method of crafting Marrow Purification Elixir, Gu He swiftly extended his hand to a stoable nearby and picked up a red pnt that resembled a dle.

  Holding the "dle pnt," Gu He's palm flickered with a purple fme, which gradually formed into a purple fireball. The purple fme danced and flickered like a purple firework.

  He tossed the pnt into the fme, and in just a moment, the "dle pnt" rapidly withered. Uhe searing of the purple fmes, it transformed into a drop of red liquid.

  Using the purple fmes to refihe red liquid several times, Gu He then used his fio flick it into the wooden barrel.

  As the drop of red liquid fell in, the inally emerald-like water surface also quietly turned slightly dark red.

  Gu He quickly found the fruit-like medial herb from the table.

  After a few minutes of refining, the green lotus fruit also turned into a drop of green liquid and dripped into the wooden basin, giving the water a faint green hue.

  "Snake-Shedding Flower."

  "Buddha Fme Root."

  Medial herbs with different names were tinuously taken by Gu He from the stoform, refined into liquid, and thrown into the wooden barrel.

  The medial herbs oable were rapidly decreasing, and an hour ter, dozens of different herbs had pletely transformed into liquids of various colors, which were poured into the wooden basin.

  After refining the st medial herb, Gu He breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the colorful liquid in the wooden basin and nodded in satisfa.

  This multicolored liquid was densed from extracts of dozens of medial herbs.

  The energy tained in the Millennium Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was too terrifying. After being tempered by these dozens of medial herbs, its potency had beuch milder.

  However, even with these medial herbs, the energy in the liquid was still far from weak.

  If he were to cultivate within it, he would likely experience signifit pain, but enduring it would undoubtedly bring great bes to Gu He.

  Looking at the multicolored liquid in the wooden basin, Gu He felt tent.

  It was a success. The Marrow Purification Elixir he had refihis time was almost as good as a seventh-grade spirit elixir.

  After that, Gu He quickly removed his clothing and eagerly jumped into the wooden basin.

  As his body immersed in the multicolored liquid, Gu He instantly felt a pierg sensatiorate his skin aer his body.

  Gu He subsciously wao activate his Dou Qi to resist, but he realized that it would hihe medie's entry into his body. Therefore, he gradually stopped and allowed the medie's power to enter him.

  While soaking in the multicolored liquid, he could clearly feel the immense energy tained within. Even before entering a state of cultivation, the energy ier began to rush into his body, creating an itg sensation throughout his body, as if ants were crawling on his skin.

  Shaking his head vigorously, Gu He suppressed the disfort.

  Sining to this world, he had experienced quite a bit of suffering, so these sensations didn't pose a signifit obstacle to him.

  While marrow purification and boempering had substantial bes, the process was not without its challenges. Enduring this would lead to smooth progress oh of cultivation.

  Sitting cross-legged in the wooden basin, Gu He formed hand seals, gradually closed his eyes, and his breathing became calm and steady. After a while, the itg sensation in his body gradually faded, and Gu He entered a state of cultivation.

  ...

  As Gu He entered a state of cultivation, small bubbles suddenly emerged on the surface of the multicolored liquid in the wooden basin.

  After a moment, the bubbles became more intense, making it seem as if the water was boiling, causing intense pain fu He.

  During the surging of these bubbles, Gu He's body suddenly trembled. He could feel that tless pure energies within the multicolored liquid were drawn towards his body, entering it through the slightly opened pores, spreading to every er of his body.

  Due to the overwhelming influx of energy, his skin began to swell and feel painful. However, these energies didn't stop due to his disfort; instead, they tio flow at a more furious pace.

  In the end, the pure energies surged beh his skin, creating a chaotietwork of trails, giving his skin a horrifying appearance, as if small snakes were crawlih it.

  Gu He couldn't feel the external appeara was scious of the inward ges. He tio focus on what was happening inside his body.

  The energies within the multicolored liquid behaved without araint. Whehey entered something, whether it was a bone, meridian, or an an, they would transform it into the multicolored hue.

  In just uen minutes, Gu He's bones were almost pletely enveloped in the multicolored hue. At a ghe entire body appeared to be immersed in multicolored civing it a strange and eerie appearance.

  While Gu He uzzled by these energy's as, a strong, burning pain suddenly emanated from within his body. This intense pain rapidly spread through his meridians, cells, muscles, and more. The searing fire felt like it would reduce his body to ashes. The intense heat tio escate

  .

  Gu He's body, submerged in the wooden basin, had turned into a fiery color as the multicolored liquid. A pale white mist emerged from the top of his head. This mist carried a faint burnt odor. His teeth ched, and a trickle of red trickled down from his mouth, staining his with a bloody hue.

  Like being in a furhat's what Gu He felt at this moment, and this fire seemed to want to burn his boo ashes. The intense heat tio escate.
