Inside the empty ice chamber, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, his face deathly pale, lay unconscious on the ice bed. At this moment, his entire right arm had turned a deep ice-blue color, its surface covered as if by a layer of ice armor. Through this armor, one could see scales resembling ice crystals— Xiao Yan's Ancient Dragon Phoenix Armor. As the cold poison invaded Xiao Yan's body and his arm was sealed by ice, the Xiao Yan Xiao Yan Ancient Dragon Phoenix Armor was activated, protecting his body from harm without his awareness.
As time passed, the cold poison that had invaded Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan had almost filled his entire right arm, but that was all it could do. The cold poison that had entered Xiao Yan's body was only a small part of Leng Bingshuang's body. The fact that it could freeze one of Xiao Yan's arms was enough to prove how powerful the cold poison was.
However, just as the cold poison stopped, the Heavenly Flames that had been suppressed within Xiao Yan's body gradually recovered. The Heavenly Flames's attacks on the cold poison that had invaded Xiao Yan's right arm never ceased, but the two were evenly matched. In the short term, the cold poison could not cause any substantial damage to Xiao Yan's body, but the Heavenly Flames could not do anything to Xiao Yan either.
In the end, the Frost Poison was completely Heavenly Flames. After a long period of consumption, Xiao Yan's aura gradually recovered during his slumber, but the Frost Poison did not. With the balance of power shifting, it was only expected that the Frost Poison would be destroyed. However, at the same time that the Frost Poison was refined by the Heavenly Flames Fire, the pure energy contained within it also returned to Xiao Yan's Qi vortex under the sweep of the Heavenly Flames.
The moment the extremely pure energy surged into Xiao Yan Qi Cyclone Space, it rapidly decomposed. Compared to this pure energy, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was truly fragile. As soon as the latter entered Xiao Yan's Qi Cyclone Space, it was immediately torn apart by the Dou Qi, which replenished each other. In the blink of an eye, the Dou Qi that had been consumed in Xiao Yan's Qi Cyclone Space was completely restored. And that wasn't all. With the replenishment of that energy, Xiao Yan's Qi Cyclone Space gradually filled up, and the Dou Qi stored within it even surpassed that of Xiao Yan at his peak!
After the icy blue color covering Xiao Yan's right arm completely disappeared, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly involuntarily, and his previously pale face had completely returned to normal.
"Whoosh!"
Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan's tightly closed eyes snapped open, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his dark eyes. His slender body trembled slightly, and immense force surged forth. As the ice bed beneath him shattered, Xiao Yan leaped up from it and landed steadily on the ground.
At the same moment this scene unfolded, in another part of the Ice Palace, in front of a small pool of water, Leng Bingshuang, whose beautiful eyes had been tightly closed, slowly opened them. Her beautiful eyes glanced casually in the direction of Xiao Yan, and a slight light flickered in them before she closed them again.
Feeling the abundant Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, wondering how long he had been unconscious. Upon waking, even his Dou Qi had been restored.
" Elder Gu, how long was I unconscious this time?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and asked Gu You in his mind.
"Hehe, don't be scared, it'll take three hours."
Gu You chuckled, but his words stunned Xiao Yan instantly. Three hours? Had he fallen asleep and even developed hearing problems? He clearly remembered healing Leng Bingshuang before he lost consciousness...
The thought of this suddenly occurred to Xiao Yan, Elder Zhang instantly became hot. Thinking of the special touch he had felt in his hand, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his nose and sniff. It seemed as if there was still some kind of fragrance left in his palm. Then, Xiao Yan realized that the hand he had raised was the same right hand that had been roaming over Leng Bingshuang's body.
"Cough cough... Elder Gu, what exactly is going on?"
With his Elder Zhang flushed, Xiao Yan tried hard to regain his composure before asking Gu You.
"Hehe, you little rascal, I thought you hadn't gotten anything out of this trip, but it seems you did gain something."
As if she had already seen through Xiao Yan's thoughts, Gu You smiled mischievously, and then explained to Xiao Yan what had happened inside Xiao Yan's body. Immediately, Xiao Yan understood.
Unexpectedly, the cold poison was so ferocious that it was able to penetrate even Xiao Yan, who was protected by his Heavenly Flames. Fortunately, Xiao Yan would eventually benefit from this misfortune. Because the cold poison had accumulated in Leng Bingshuang's body over the years, it contained a lot of power that should have belonged to Leng Bingshuang. After that power was refined by Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames, the pure energy all belonged to Xiao Yan.
Of course, most of the Origin Qi dissipated freely, and only this part of the Dou Qi was able to be utilized by Xiao Yan, so that Xiao Yan's strength at the Late Six-Star Half-Emperor was completely stabilized within a few short hours.
Unlike other levels, the Origin Transformation Realm is the most unique among all levels. At this stage, both Dou Qi and Origin Qi coexist within the cultivator's body. These two energies coexist in the world without conflict. However, to become Origin Return Realm expert, one must first convert all the Dou Qi within the body into Origin Qi. During this process, Origin Qi and Dou Qi coexist and gradually transform. When the Dou Qi is completely converted into Origin Qi, one can officially become a Origin Return Realm expert.
Therefore, only after Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames the energy of those cold poisons could he obtain pure Dou Qi from them.
"Hehe, don't get too excited yet. Although your strength has been consolidated, that Bodhi Restoration Pill has already fallen into that girl's hands."
"Kindness?!"
Upon hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly remembered the main purpose of his trip.
"By the way, Bodhi Restoration Pill, that Ice Spirit Cold Liquid..."
"Don't even think about it, brat. You touched that girl's body, do you think she wouldn't kill you? She only let you go because of the Bodhi Restoration Pill. She desperately needs the Bodhi Restoration Pill to recover from her injuries. If that girl didn't have the cold poison in her body, she would probably be dead already."
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Gu You gloated, his words like a bucket of cold water poured over Xiao Yan's head.
"That girl, Bodhi Restoration Pill, has already taken it. As for the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid, there's no hope for it!"
