Flesh Pill Method

"That need not concern you, Senior. I have my own use for it!"

Hearing this, Skyfire Venerable knew he could not keep this Newborn Fallen Heart Flame.

"So be it. This old man has lingered on his last breath for so many years, and I do not have much time left! Rather than let this little fellow guard a pile of dry bones alone in the future, I might as well let it follow you out into the world! Take this Newborn Fallen Heart Flame with you!"

With that, Skyfire Venerable handed the Fallen Heart Flame in his hand to Fa Wutian.

Only then did he ask what had been on his mind.

"Young friend, seeing that you can refine the Fallen Heart Flame, I presume you are also an alchemist?"

"Yes."

Seeing Fa Wutian admit it, Skyfire Venerable immediately grew excited.

"Then, do you happen to have any pills or medicinal ingredients that can repair souls?"

"What do you want?"

Seeing Fa Wutian become wary, Skyfire Venerable hurriedly explained, "Young friend, do not be afraid! I have no intention of harming you! And I will not take your things for nothing!"

Immediately afterward, he took out the Five-Wheel Flame Separation Technique that Fa Wutian had been yearning for!

"This is the famous technique I used when I roamed the continent in my younger days—the Five-Wheel Flame Separation Technique! Although it is merely a flame-control method, if it is formed with five Heavenly Flames, its power will absolutely not be inferior to a Heavenly-Rank Battle Skill! How about it? I will use this to trade with you! What do you say?"

Hearing this, Fa Wutian agreed at once.

From his observations, although Skyfire Venerable's soul body was severely damaged, a single sixth-rank Myriad Souls Pill would be enough to restore it!

The Myriad Souls Pill was also something Fa Wutian had found within Yao Wushuang's inheritance.

Originally, he had refined this Myriad Souls Pill to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Unexpectedly, it now came in handy!

Thus, he immediately took a Myriad Souls Pill from his storage ring and handed it to him.

"Senior, this Myriad Souls Pill will be enough to repair your soul body!"

Hearing this, Skyfire Venerable accepted the Myriad Souls Pill with an excited expression.

And Fa Wutian finally obtained the Five-Wheel Flame Separation Technique as he wished!

The moment the Myriad Souls Pill reached his hand, Skyfire Venerable could not wait to swallow it.

Before long, nourished by the Myriad Souls Pill, Skyfire Venerable's soul body was restored to its original state!

Seeing that the other party had recovered, Fa Wutian cupped his hands in congratulations. "Congratulations, Senior. Your soul body has been restored! I imagine it will not be long before you return to your peak!"

Hearing this, Skyfire Venerable immediately smiled bitterly. "Return to my peak? How could it be so easy! Although my soul body has been fully restored, without a physical body, I still cannot survive for long! As the years pass, one day I will still vanish from this world! As for returning to my peak? Hehe! That is nothing more than a fool's dream!"

"This junior happens to know a method that can help Senior refine a physical body. I wonder whether Senior would be interested?"

"Oh? What method? Let me hear it!"

Hearing that he still had hope of resurrection, Skyfire Venerable was immediately intrigued.

After all, if one could live, who would want to die?

"My method is called the Flesh Pill Method!"

"The Flesh Pill Method?"

"The so-called Flesh Pill Method removes a pill spirit, fuses a person's soul body into the pill, then refines it using a special technique! In this way, a person can be resurrected by borrowing the body of a pill!"

The Flesh Pill Method was also one of Yao Wushuang's inheritances!

When Fa Wutian first saw it, he had been equally astonished. He had never expected Yao Wushuang to carve out a path of resurrection through pills!

"The body of a pill?!"

After hearing Fa Wutian's method, Skyfire Venerable was also greatly shocked.

As an old-established Dou Venerable expert, he knew that Ninth-Rank Pills could develop pill spirits!

It was said that pills of that rank were no different in appearance from humans! Moreover, their strength was at least at the Dou Saint level!

Thinking of this, Skyfire Venerable immediately felt that Fa Wutian was indulging in wild fantasy.

Leaving aside the difficulty of refining a Ninth-Rank Pill, how would they deal with the pill spirit?

One sneeze from it would probably wipe them all out!

And they wanted to take its body? That was simply dreaming!

Seeing this, Fa Wutian understood that he had thought of Ninth-Rank Pills.

"Senior, you misunderstand me! The pill spirits of Ninth-Rank Pills are not something we can handle!"

Hearing this, Skyfire Venerable immediately rolled his eyes.

"It is good that you know that! Then what are we to do now?"

"Actually, my target was never Ninth-Rank Pills, but Eighth-Rank Pills! The foundation of the Flesh Pill Method lies in the word 'spirit.' Eighth-Rank Pills already possess a certain degree of spirituality. They are just right for use as materials for the Flesh Pill Method!"

"Eighth-Rank Pills? That is not low either!"

When he had traveled the world in his day, there had not been many Eighth-Rank Alchemists even among his friends.

What was more, who knew how much time had passed since his era!

Those friends of his had likely long since returned to dust!

Therefore, he was equally helpless when it came to Eighth-Rank Pills!

"Senior, have you forgotten that there is an alchemist standing right before you?"

"You? At your age, what rank could you possibly reach? At most, third or fourth rank!"

Skyfire Venerable had, after all, seen much of the world.

He had heard a little about those Imperial Clans. Thus, he had seen fifteen-year-old third- or fourth-rank alchemists before!

"This junior is untalented, but I broke through to the sixth rank not long ago!"

"Sixth rank? How is that possible?! Could you be from one of those Imperial Clans? But that is not right! With your talent, those Imperial Clans could not possibly fail to send experts to protect you! Could you be the illegitimate son of some great figure?"

"..."

Hearing this, Fa Wutian was left speechless.

After quite a while, he explained, "This junior is not from any so-called Imperial Clan! This junior comes from the Northwest Continent and is merely the descendant of an ordinary Dou Emperor clan!"

"The Northwest Continent? A barren place like that could produce someone like you? And from a Dou Emperor clan at that? Could it be that outside, monsters now walk everywhere and geniuses are worth less than dogs?"

Hearing this, Fa Wutian did not want to explain further and spoke plainly. "Senior, do not concern yourself with those unimportant matters! This junior wishes to make a deal with you. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Oh? What deal?"

"This junior guarantees that within three years, I will use the Flesh Pill Method to resurrect you! In return, after your resurrection, you must protect me for one year! What do you think?"

"One year? You brat, you certainly know how to calculate! You should know that this old man is a Dou Venerable! Asking a Dou Venerable to bow his head and protect you for a year? Brat, you must still be dreaming! But since I am no longer in control of my own fate, fine. This old man agrees!"

Skyfire Venerable readily agreed to Fa Wutian's conditions!

After all, given his current situation, if he wanted to keep living, he had to have a physical body.

Moreover, he needed a special method to fuse with it!

And as for such a special method? At present, aside from Fa Wutian, no one else knew it!

Therefore, he had no choice but to agree to Fa Wutian's conditions!
