Once all the materials were ready, Xiao Yan formally began refining bodies for the two Soul Bodies. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to refine Heavenly Fire Venerable's body first. Heavenly Fire Venerable was stunned to hear that Xiao Yan had chosen to resurrect him first, and a touch of gratitude stirred in his heart. He had never expected the boy to let him go first rather than revive his own teacher. It seemed he held quite a high place in Xiao Yan's heart.
What Heavenly Fire Venerable did not know was that Xiao Yan had chosen him first purely to get some practice. Even for Xiao Yan, refining a body for someone else was a first. If he failed and caused Heavenly Fire Venerable's soul to scatter into oblivion, the loss to him would not be particularly great.
Still, Xiao Yan had not cut corners with the materials he prepared for Heavenly Fire Venerable. The blood essence naturally came from the seventh-rank Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast obtained in the Heavenly Scorpion Tomb Mansion, while the body belonged to Earth Demon Old Ghost, whom he had slaughtered recently. As for the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, it was left over from his recent frenzy of pill refining.
During that earlier bout of pill refining, Xiao Yan had produced several Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pills. The one he prepared for Heavenly Fire Venerable was merely the poorest-quality pill among them. Even so, it was still a peak seventh-tier pill. If put up for auction, it would be something money could not buy even in the Central Plains.
Seeing the materials Xiao Yan had prepared for him, Heavenly Fire Venerable nodded in great satisfaction. Although he did not know how to refine a body, he could tell that Xiao Yan was not fobbing him off.
