Forging a Golden Body in the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron (1/5)

In the backyard of the mountain god temple, where Li Boyang often lived, "You actually convinced him to be your guinea pig?"

Xiluo stared at the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron burning fiercely, her words revealing no concealment of her surprise and disbelief.

"No, I didn't intend to do that in the first place—"

Seeing that the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron had already entered, Li Boyang shook his head without hesitation.

As Li Boyang said, he never intended to let anyone enter the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron from the beginning.

He volunteered to use the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron after learning that Li Boyang had some relatively unsafe shortcuts.

In other words, he's not very smart, and he doesn't have much patience or time to gradually become stronger.

So what are your plans next?

"Are you really going to treat him like a elixir to be refined?"

Having spent so much time with Li Boyang, Xiluo was naturally aware of some of his crazy ideas.

"He's not the monkey in your story; I think you're more likely to end up with a pile of ashes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang simply smiled mysteriously.

"That's not necessarily true. The Yuan Fire is ultimately different from a real flame."

Upon hearing the melody, Xiluo immediately understood the implied meaning.

"You've found the correct way to use this Imprisoned Soul Cauldron?"

Li Boyang nodded affirmatively. He wasn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't leave such a treasure unused.

The previous alchemy and roasting were merely superficial attempts.

This current state is the true way to open the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.

"There are countless kinds of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, but I am most familiar with the Earth Veins Sha Qi and Life Primordial Qi."

"If I only use these two kinds of elemental energy as firewood," I think I should be able to control the flames produced by the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.

After Li Boyang's reminder, Xiluo noticed that the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron was not burning with colorful flames today.

Having eliminated all impurities and complex chain reactions, the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron is now burning with pure Sha Qi fire.

"Is that Spirit Gathering Formation?"

After careful observation, Xiluo quickly realized what Li Boyang had done.

As the intricate patterns on the surface of the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron lit up one by one, a Spirit Gathering Formation was formed, specifically designed to collect and absorb Sha Qi.

This Spirit Gathering Formation actively repels other forms of Yuan Qi, converting only Sha Qi into flames for use.

How did you do that!?

Xiluo had never imagined that the complex patterns on the surface of the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron could actually form Talisman Incantation Speech on their own.

"Compared to that, I admire the person who created the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron more."

"He clearly didn't understand any Talisman Incantation Speech, yet he managed to inscribe most of the incantations related to Yuan Qi onto the cauldron, forming a somewhat incomplete variant of Energy Talisman Incantation."

With a tone full of emotion and admiration, Li Boyang continued to explain.

This means that as long as you find the right way to use it--

"The lines and patterns on this cauldron can be randomly combined to form corresponding Yuanzhao Fire."

"Even if these words are incomplete, with the Energy Talisman Incantation left by the Witch of the Huai River as a reference, I can easily fill in the gaps."

Having pulled out the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron once again, Li Boyang spoke with great confidence.

"Looking at this Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, I even had a new inspiration."

"Even a variant Energy Talisman Incantation created through exhaustive combination can achieve this level of power—"

"So, to what extent can a truly perfect Energy Talisman Incantation, and other Talisman Incantation, achieve?"

"The twelve Speech Talisman Incantation left behind by your sister are the real treasure."

"I've clearly been overlooking this all along."

After hearing Li Boyang's explanation, Xiluo suddenly understood.

No wonder she felt that some of the illuminated patterns on the surface of the cauldron seemed a bit out of place.

So those were all products that Li Boyang replenished himself based on the [Energy Talisman Incantation]?

"Wait, are you sure you're doing it correctly?"

"Why do I have a feeling that this Imprisoned Soul Cauldron isn't functioning quite right?"

Just then, Xiluo suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the burning Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.

"What?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Li Boyang suddenly shouted.

"Wait a minute? The Imprisoned Soul Cauldron's program can have bugs too?"

As if to confirm Li Boyang's words, the Sha Qi fire in the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron suddenly expanded.

The next second, the raging, malevolent Sha Qi seemed to come alive, transforming into a fire dragon that began to circulate around the entire Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.

This is precisely the greatest characteristic of the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, besides its ability to burn primordial energy—it imbues all things with spirituality.

Unfortunately, it is unclear whether this was due to Li Boyang's violation of regulations or some other reason.

These should have flowed into the body to help temper the physical body's Sha Qi and replenish the soul's spirituality.

Now, however, they were all rejected from the body and unexpectedly merged into a dragon full of spiritual and Sha Qi.

[Wait, maybe it's not my problem.]

[The inability of Sha Qi to enter the body and the rejection of spirituality—this all feels strangely familiar.]

[Could it be that I'm not the only one in the world who thought of using this method to refine human elixirs?]

It's so hot. And it's getting hotter and hotter.

Even if Li Boyang had sealed off their five senses beforehand.

Those inside the cauldron could clearly feel an increasingly intense heat wave attempting to ignite them.

That burning sensation did not come from the body, but from the spirit, or rather, the soul.

Tumultuous!

The moment I felt the heat again.

I could clearly feel my bones melting and being reforged little by little.

During this process, Li Boyang made the various "pills" he had swallowed beforehand take effect quickly.

Those "pills" were not some kind of magic pill.

Instead, it was the spiritual essence that had been refined and extracted by the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron beforehand.

After being blended by Li Boyang in a special ratio, these spiritual essences not only contain various herbs, but also some minerals and metals.

Especially certain special metallic elements.

When mixed with herbal extracts, it surprisingly exhibited a higher biocompatibility than titanium alloy.

After discovering this, Li Boyang suddenly realized that he might be able to create a metal skeleton that is completely compatible with the human body, as seen in science fiction works.

However, Li Boyang had never had this need before.

Of course, the lack of "live experimental subjects" that could withstand such treatment was also a major reason.

It wasn't until the appearance of [something] that Li Boyang's fleeting thought had a chance to be put into practice.

According to Li Boyang's original plan, the herbs and metals should have gradually seeped into the flesh and bones, and then, in conjunction with a special "Breathing Method," tempered the body with Sha Qi.

Without using the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, this process would be extremely lengthy.

A rough estimate suggests that it will take several years, or even decades, for a true transformation to take place.

However, once he uses the Soul-Controlling Cauldron, Li Boyang is confident that he can shorten this process to a day or even less.

Just like Li Boyang's transformation after being transformed by Sha Qi.

In a sense, this is actually a variant of the "body tempering with Sha Qi" process.

Unfortunately, due to the sudden loss of control of the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, the Sha Qi and spirituality that should have surged into the body did not appear in time.

This caused a severe rejection reaction in the body.

The metallic elements that seeped into the bones did not become part of the bones; instead, they damaged the original structure of the bones and caused severe signs of heavy metal poisoning.

Or more precisely, this is the normal reaction after consuming various metal pills.

Even the refined and extracted spiritual essence is essentially a heavy metal that is extremely destructive to living organisms.
