Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Yao Chen Appears

"Master! I'm certain! This servant girl knows about the Heavenly Flames listed on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This is indeed the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

Dongfang Jing said with utmost certainty.

After receiving Dongfang Jing's confirmation, Zi Yu smiled. "Sister Jing! If it truly is the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, then I think I've already guessed his identity."

"Sister Jing! Here, take these—the Purple Soul Ginseng Fruit and the Spirit Origin Fruit. Please turn them into energy for the Soul Body inside the Ring to absorb, and help him awaken. This Young Master wants to have a good talk with him!"

As he spoke, Zi Yu took out an oval fruit that was pale purple all over, with several silver patterns on its surface, as well as a pale cyan fruit carved with diamond-shaped scale-like patterns and emitting a white halo, then handed them to Dongfang Jing.

The moment the two fruits appeared, the energy of heaven and earth instantly became much richer!

The fruity fragrance they emitted invigorated everyone present!

Even the circulation of Dou Qi within their bodies became much smoother!

Upon seeing the Purple Soul Ginseng Fruit and Spirit Origin Fruit, Dongfang Jing's expression remained unchanged, but a trace of surprise still flashed through her eyes!

Although these two spirit fruits were of no use to someone at her Dou Saint level of cultivation, they were rare treasures for anyone below the Dou Zun realm!

Was Master really using such treasures merely for a mere Soul Body?

Could this Soul Body's identity be extraordinary?

Through their time together, she had discovered that although every step her master took seemed purposeless, he always acted with some sort of objective in mind.

Of course, that was not something she needed to consider. All she had to do was protect her master's safety. There was no need to think too much about anything else!

With that thought, Dongfang Jing stopped hesitating and directly used her palm force to turn the Purple Soul Ginseng Fruit and Spirit Origin Fruit into medicinal energy for the Soul Body within the Ring to absorb.

Watching the Purple Soul Ginseng Fruit and Spirit Origin Fruit transform into medicinal energy and be absorbed by Yao Chen, Zi Yu remained calm.

The reason he had chosen to take out these two spirit medicines was naturally not as simple as merely waking Yao Chen ahead of time.

What he wanted was for the revived Yao Chen to become a Ninth Grade Alchemist with incomparably great potential!

After all, there would be many places where he would need Yao Chen in the future!

Leaving aside everything else, when it came to alchemy, Yao Chen was absolutely among the very best on the Dou Qi Continent!

Looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent, there were few who could surpass him!

Therefore, the Purple Soul Ginseng Fruit and Spirit Origin Fruit were nothing in pursuit of this goal.

At the same time, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used to revive Yao Chen had to be carefully considered. He would use the very best whenever possible.

As for the Dou Zun skeleton, the Eighth Grade pill—the Bone Growing Blood Fusion Pill—the Dou Saint arm, Heavenly Demon Phoenix Essence Blood, Gold Grade Soul Infant Fruit, and the like mentioned in the original work—

In Zi Yu's eyes, those things were all far too inferior!

They fell far short of the goal he had in mind!

Not long afterward!

After absorbing the medicinal energy of the Purple Soul Ginseng Fruit and Spirit Origin Fruit, Yao Chen awoke from his slumber.

Upon awakening, Yao Chen manifested from the Ring.

When he saw the circle of people around him, he froze in shock!

"Hm? Why are there so many people?"

As Yao Chen stood there dumbfounded, Xiao Yan stared at the culprit who had made his life miserable.

Anger instantly rose in his heart!

"So it was you, you old bastard, who turned me from a genius into trash! I'm going to beat the hell out of you!..."

With that, Xiao Yan swung his fist at Yao Chen.

However, Yao Chen was only a Soul Body at the moment, so Xiao Yan was destined to be unable to harm him in the slightest.

Xiao Yan passed straight through Yao Chen's body.

At this time, Zi Yu, Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, and the others quietly watched from the side.

After all, this was a grudge between Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, so it was not their place to interfere.

But when Xiao Yan discovered that he could not hurt Yao Chen at all, an endless sense of frustration welled up inside him.

After several attempts, Xiao Yan could only give up helplessly.

Meanwhile, Yao Chen had already realized that the young man before him was the one who had sustained him with Dou Qi for nearly a year.

At that thought, a trace of guilt rose in Yao Chen's heart, along with some shame!

A dignified Venerable Yao, renowned throughout the continent, had actually fallen so low that he had to rely on absorbing the Dou Qi of a young Dou Zhe to cling to life. If word got out, he would become a complete laughingstock!

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan and said guiltily, "Little fellow! This old man has wronged you, but under those circumstances, I had no choice. My soul had fallen into slumber, and I could only instinctively absorb your Dou Qi to keep myself alive.

"However, to compensate you, this old man can fulfill several of your requests. How about it?"

Upon hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan's previously awful expression gradually returned to normal.

However, he did not say anything. Instead, he looked toward Zi Yu in the distance.

He asked the new boss he had acknowledged to stand up for him.

Noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, Zi Yu understood and spoke.

"Hehe! Old man! You said you'd compensate my little brother, so how exactly do you intend to compensate him?"

Hearing this, Yao Chen finally noticed Zi Yu.

The moment he saw Zi Yu, he was greatly shocked!

Just as he was about to say something, an "unintentional" glance from the latter stopped him.

Yao Chen was indeed an old hand, and he naturally understood. "I never expected there to be a young man like you in this world, Young Master. Truly, jade-like is the man upon the road; no peer exists for the Young Master in this world!"

After saying that, Yao Chen wore a deeply emotional expression.

Zi Yu's mouth twitched slightly at those words!

Why had he never noticed that Yao Chen had such a talent for flattery?

As expected! He truly was an old hand. He certainly knew how to butter people up!

No wonder he had friends everywhere! With his flattery and his skills as an alchemist, it would be strange if he did not have so many friends.

Then Zi Yu said calmly, "Old man! You said you'd fulfill several requests from my little brother, but how are we supposed to trust you? We don't even know who you are right now. How can we believe your words?"

Hearing this, Yao Chen came to his senses and hurriedly said, "This Venerable is named Yao Chen. Before my death, I was a Nine Revolutions Dou Zun Peak expert, as well as an Eighth Grade Peak Alchemist. Fulfilling several requests from your little brother should not be a problem, right?"

"A Dou Zun Peak expert!... An Eighth Grade Peak Alchemist!..."

Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, Miao Ke'er, and Xiao Yan were all stunned!

They had never imagined that this Soul Body before them had such an extraordinary background!

Dou Zun Peak! Eighth Grade Peak Alchemist!

With those two identities combined, he was practically one of the figures closest to the pinnacle of the continent!
