Chapter 565: Chapter 223: Body Refining! Medicinal Bath! (Part 2)

Lian Ji saw this scene, swallowed, and tried to persuade, "Husband, how about we call it off this time?"

Suddenly, Xu Binghu was dazed for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, "No! We can’t call it off!"

"If I back down this time, what about the next time, and the time after that?"

Then, he turned to look at Xu Ran, "Besides, I believe Xiao Ran won’t let anything happen to me."

With that, he resolutely jumped into the cauldron.

Plop－－－

Xu Binghu was already in the cauldron.

The moment he jumped in, his entire body turned red, as if he was being cooked.

At this moment, Xu Binghu was indeed enduring endless torment.

His whole body immersed in flames, being burned constantly, not just his body, but even his soul seemed about to be consumed.

"Ah－－"

Finally, Xu Binghu couldn’t bear it anymore and cried out.

This sound spread throughout the Great Wilderness Border Village, extremely mournful, as if subjected to the top ten forms of torture, unbearable.

The bewildered villagers hearing the sound, all came out to check.

"Whose scream is that, why does it sound so miserable?"

"My wife didn’t even scream that much during childbirth, who could it be?"

"From the sound and direction, it seems to be Xu Binghu’s house?"

"Ah! Xu Binghu, the most valiant hunter who can lift a 500-pound boulder, what could make him scream like this?"

"How about we go take a look?"

Just as they were about to investigate, the elder Qi stepped out.

"Look, look, what are you looking at, is everyone so idle? Have today’s prey been caught? Is the beast hide ready for winter? Is there enough beast milk for the children? You’re all so free, go back home."

All the hunters in the village owed the elder Qi a debt of gratitude, so once he spoke, everyone went back.

After everyone left, the elder Qi stared worriedly in the direction of Xu Binghu’s house, muttering.

"Judging by the sound, it should be his second body refining. It’s only been seven days, and he has collected so much beast blood and herbs, including demon beast heart blood. It seems the decision to give the Body Refining Manual to Binghu was right!"

Although the elder Qi was not qualified to refine his body, he constantly thought about it, reading every day, wearing out the cover, and was very familiar with the methods recorded inside.

The beast blood he initially gave to Xu Binghu was only enough for the first body refining, and although the first body refining was painful, to put it bluntly, it was just ordinary fierce beast blood, incomparable to demon beast heart blood.

"I wonder if Binghu can make it through this time, if he does, the world opens up; if not, it’s fate..."

...

Xu Family.

At this moment, Xu Binghu’s entire body was red, it was indistinguishable if it was his skin color or the reflection of the cauldron filled with beast blood.

The blood vessels in his body all bulged like tree roots, looking very frightening.

Lian Ji, always the homemaker, seeing this, felt a tugging at her heart, countless terrifying images arose in her mind.

"No, husband, you can’t hold on, stop now." Lian Ji shouted.

Xu Binghu did not respond.

Unclear whether he thought he could still hold on or had lost consciousness.

Seeing Xu Binghu not reacting, Lian Ji placed her hope on Xu Ran, turning her head to look.

"Xiao Ran, I know you have a way to get your father out, he can’t hold on any longer..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Xu Ran’s eyes emitting a faint golden light, extremely awe-inspiring.

"Mom, although dad’s situation is not optimistic, he can still hold on. Only when the body reaches its limits can the refining take effect."

Back when refining his Innate Divine Body, Xu Ran’s eye meridians were opened by Innate Qi, allowing him to easily see the body’s internal workings.

He just checked Xu Binghu’s body and found it integrated with demon tiger beast blood, and demon beast blood was attacking, destroying every part of his body.

Ordinarily, a normal person would have already been gone in such a situation.

However, inside Xu Binghu, a strand of Innate Qi protected him, keeping him safe.

On the surface, it seemed he wouldn’t last another moment, but as long as the Innate Qi wasn’t depleted, nothing would happen.

Lian Ji felt reassured hearing her son’s words, trusting him completely.

True enough.

Not long after Xu Ran explained the situation, the boiling beast blood calmed down, the redness on Xu Binghu’s body gradually faded, and the look of pain on his face dissipated, everything returning to normal.

"Alright, it’s fine now." Xu Ran said.

Then, he strode forward, stood on a stool, and reached his hand into the cauldron.

Lian Ji saw this and shouted, "Xiao Ran, don’t!"

Before her words were finished, Xu Ran’s hand was already inside, touching the now calm beast blood.

Lian Ji covered her eyes.

Though Xu Ran was a celestial child sent by a meteor, a genuine genius, he was still less than a year old, frail; coming into contact with demon beast heart blood might cause instant death!

Yet, the scenario in Lian Ji’s mind did not happen. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"It’s quite warm," Xu Ran said.

Lian Ji heard Xu Ran’s voice, put her hands down, and rushed over, "Xiao Ran, are you okay?"

"I’m fine!"

Lian Ji lifted Xu Ran off the stool, her hands trembling, almost crying, "Xiao Ran, you scared me."

"Mom, I’m alright. The energy within the beast blood has been mostly absorbed by dad; even if I fully submerge myself, nothing would happen." Xu Ran comforted.

"Not only partially absorbed demon beast heart blood, even a whole bottle of heart blood, I’d be fine," Xu Ran thought inwardly.

Xu Ran, now possessing the Innate Divine Body, constantly nourished by Innate Qi, immensely powerful. A single bottle of demon beast heart blood wouldn’t aid in body refining.

At minimum, several kinds of demon beast heart blood would be necessary for refining, and not just a drop like Xu Binghu, but a whole bottle.

The Peregrine Falcon beside them, witnessing its master’s extraordinariness, felt a stirring within.

This body refining, for Xu Binghu, was in true sense his first; the previous lacked even demon beast blood, the fiercest being only heart blood of a monkey.

The first refining lasted only a quarter of an hour.

This time persisted for half a day.

It wasn’t until sunset, moonrise that Xu Binghu awoke.

Opening his eyes, Xu Binghu saw three people gathered in the courtyard.

Besides Lian Ji and Xu Ran, there was also the elder Qi.

The elder Qi came to Xu’s courtyard shortly after hearing the screams, realizing the ordeal was over upon witnessing the calm beast blood and Xu Binghu’s serene appearance.

He then joined Lian Ji, Xu Ran, awaiting Xu Binghu’s awakening.

Seeing the elder Qi first, Xu Binghu quickly stepped out of the cauldron, wrapped himself with the towel Lian Ji prepared, and said, "Hello, elder Qi."

The elder Qi tossed a roasted deer leg to Xu Binghu, "Just finished refining, you need to replenish energy, eat quickly."

Xu Binghu accepted the deer leg, his stomach already rumbling, took a big bite, speaking unclearly, "Thank you for your concern, elder Qi."

"Talk after you eat..."

Soon, the deer prepared by Lian Ji, one meter long, was finished by Xu Binghu. The other three barely ate, but at least were sated too.

The elder Qi, watching Xu Binghu with a mouthful of grease, commented, "Now I understand why body refining requires 500 pounds of strength; without it, you can’t hunt enough prey, without enough prey you’d starve, how to refine on an empty stomach?"

Xu Binghu scratched his head, laughed, "Hehe"

Lian Ji and Xu Ran remained silent; the one-meter deer had been brought back by the Peregrine Falcon, not hunted by Xu Binghu.

"Alright, now that you’re full, share your gains from this refining." the elder Qi initiated.

His eyes carried a trace of anticipation and eagerness, visible even in the dark.
