Chapter 117
“Uh... Xue Lao, it seems like I’ve also become a Xuan Dan...?”
“Not quite...”
“Did Xiao Bao Shixiong become my Xuan Dan?!”
Xue Jing: “?”
What the heck?
______
PS: Xiao Bao Shixiong has no gender.
**Chapter 115: The Fusion Technique and the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm Will Open**
As the strange phenomenon dissipated, the alchemy furnace extinguished.
For a moment, the peak was quiet, with only the lid of the furnace making a ‘clang’ as it fell back to the ground, spinning lazily and refusing to topple over.
The three of them...
Oh no, two people and one Dan, were now lost in thought.
“Master, I’m inside Li Shidi’s belly.”
Tang Xiao Bao’s muffled voice came through.
He was in Li Mo’s belly, or more accurately, speaking from his Dantian.
“I don’t feel uncomfortable at all; in fact...”
Li Mo’s face was a mix of confusion.
Of course, it felt strange to have someone talking from inside your belly!
What was even more disorienting was... did this count as martial arts training or cultivation?
In the world of cultivation, he’d be considered a Golden Core powerhouse...
He could even be seen as being at the Nascent Soul stage.
“........”
Xue Jing wanted to say that everything was fine, but as a powerful figure in the Inner Scene, he was feeling a bit lightheaded.
After a moment of silence, the old man, looking somewhat deranged, walked up to Li Mo and shook him by the neck.
“Spit Xiao Bao out right now!”
“Wow, we’ve nurtured this for thousands of years on Dan Ding Peak, the hard work of generations, and you just ate it? Huh?”
The old man was losing his composure.
Li Mo felt a bit dizzy from the shaking.
“Master, I’m fine.”
Tang Xiao Bao quickly chimed in.
He hesitated for a moment before adding:
“Li Shidi’s Dantian is quite large.”
“Eh, what’s that?”
“We all need to calm down for a moment.”
Li Mo’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
By heaven’s grace.
He had thought he was just refining the blood of the Golden Crow in the alchemy furnace, helping out Xiao Bao Shixiong in the process, and making a little investment.
The investment had indeed paid off.
The system had just sent him a notification.
But who would have thought that under the guidance of his internal energy, he would directly pull Xiao Bao Shixiong into his Dantian!
He took a moment to look inward.
Well, there it was, the golden Dragon-Tiger Dan, bouncing around on the fiery lotus with two leaves in his Dantian.
Xue Jing looked at him with a resentful gaze, his resentment heavier than a ghost’s.
Li Mo couldn’t help but chuckle:
“Let’s first figure out what exactly happened.”
“Looks like we have no choice.”
Xue Jing took several deep breaths.
So, Li Mo recounted in detail what had just transpired in the alchemy furnace.
Xue Jing’s expression shifted from disbelief to a dazed contemplation.
“My theories from back in the day... turned out to be correct? Just the method was a bit off?!”
“Can it really be that one can achieve Xuan Dan through external Dan techniques?!”
Li Mo’s expression grew even stranger.
His internal energy in the Jade Liquid stage hadn’t even reached halfway, and suddenly he had become a Xuan Dan.
“To be honest, I still don’t know how Xuan Dan is actually condensed.”
“And what exactly was your theory back then?” Li Mo asked.
“The so-called Xuan Dan is the condensation of a person’s ‘Qi’ into a tangible form.”
“The accumulation of ‘Qi’ is too slow; not everyone has a continuous supply of rare treasures to consume.”
“So, I thought back then, could we skip the process of the body gathering Qi and directly refine the ‘Qi’ from the outside world, then use alchemical methods to turn it into a pill, and finally absorb it into the body?”
Xue Jing spoke with a complex expression.
Though he later thought it was a fanciful idea.
But today, that perfect vision from back then had actually manifested in Li Mo and Xiao Bao.
The difference was probably that Li Mo had a special constitution, and Xiao Bao wasn’t an ordinary Dan; his essence was the Nine Orifices Dragon-Tiger Dan.
Moreover, one person and one Dan had to be refined together in the alchemy furnace, while simultaneously channeling energy to create resonance.
Well...
It seemed that no one else would be able to accomplish this theory in the future.
“What about compared to a real Xuan Dan?” Li Mo asked curiously.
“It depends on the quality of the pill.”
Xue Jing’s expression was complex.
“Can a Xuan Dan be summoned outside the body?”
Li Mo pondered, as if he had found a solution:
“If I operate the Xuan Dan method, can I get Xiao Bao Shixiong out?”
“I don’t know about that, but we can give it a try.”
Xue Jing retracted his hand from the powerful laxative he had prepared.
“Alright, let’s give it a shot.”
Li Mo patted his belly.
“Okay, Li Shidi, I’ll cooperate.”
Tang Xiao Bao lightly jumped down from the lotus petal.
Thus, Li Mo began to channel his energy.
The liquid internal energy in his Dantian boiled in an instant, just like before.
The difference this time was that there was a little sun added to the mix.
The already opened Eight Orifices Dragon-Tiger Golden Dan was mysterious and majestic, spinning and radiating countless glimmers.
Roar—
A phantom of the Dragon and Tiger suddenly appeared above Li Mo’s head, powerful and imposing.
“This power...”
Li Mo felt the surging energy within him, almost as if he were tapping into the power of the world’s seed.
He could definitely unleash the full power of the “Seven Determinations of Heaven and Earth.”
Eager to try, he threw a punch.
The swirling winds and clouds of the Dragon and Tiger stirred up a tempest in Xue Jing’s Inner Scene.
Very strong!
“The true Xuan Dan realm probably doesn’t even compare to this one-tenth.”
Xue Jing’s expression grew even more complex.
This was also because Li Mo’s Dantian foundation was too solid.
“Alright, that’s enough fun for now.”
He said with a dark expression.
“Xiao Bao Shixiong, come out.”
“Sure thing.”
Li Mo awkwardly halted his movements.
Then, a faint glow began to emanate from his Dantian.
A golden Dan suddenly appeared out of thin air, spinning a few times before landing and transforming back into the boy.
“How do you feel?” Xue Jing quickly asked.
“Pretty good!”
Tang Xiao Bao didn’t notice anything unusual and smiled:
“Plus, I won’t need you to seal me anymore, Master. I can now keep my Qi contained on my own.”
Previously, Xue Jing had always worried that he would leak Dan fragrance and Qi, causing unnecessary trouble.
After a moment of thought, he added:
“And I feel that working together with Li Shidi is much stronger than just me alone.”
“I’ve gotten a taste of the internal energy Xuan Dan realm ahead of time.”
Li Mo said, feeling a bit curious.
Once he condensed his own Xuan Dan, could he still let Xiao Bao Shixiong transform into the Dragon-Tiger Dan and enter his Dantian?
Using the Heavenly Fate Divine Eye to observe Tang Xiao Bao at that moment, he found that he had already attained a purple aura of fortune.
Seeing the boy deep in thought, Xue Jing’s expression shifted.
He suddenly thought of many things.
Xiao Bao had been on Dan Ding Peak for thousands of years.
He had been touched by successive elders along the way, and even had been stolen by a certain true disciple.
Yet, he could have such a wonderful fate with Li Mo.
Fate truly is the most marvelous thing in the world...
He couldn’t help but sigh:
“Xiao Bao being able to get closer to perfection in my generation, I should consider myself fortunate.”
“You two can cooperate and venture into the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm together.”
“I can finally rest easy.”
Blood Phoenix Secret Realm.
Upon hearing these four words, Li Mo quickly snapped back to attention.
Could this have something to do with the Ice Chunk?
After all, it was the Ice Chunk that was his primary benefactor.
“Yeah, this is also your credit.”
Xue Jing sat down, brewed a cup of tea, and handed it to both of them before slowly saying:
“That Blood Phoenix Secret Realm was originally targeted by the Demon Cult. After the news leaked, they had to abandon their plans.”
“They initially wanted to forcibly open the secret realm using sinister methods, but had to give up halfway.”
“Now, it can only accommodate those at the Observation God stage.”
“Talented disciples from the East Wilderness and even from outside realms will go there to explore.”
......
PS: The realms in this book are Qi Blood, Internal Energy, Observation God, Inner Scene, Outer Scene, Law Body, Mastering the Profound, Reaching the Sky, and Immortal.
Xuan Dan is the late stage of Internal Energy.
There won’t be too many convoluted nested realms; everything is fixed from the start.
The protagonist’s immortal body will start to show its greatest potential from the Observation God stage. So far, no audience has guessed Li Mo’s path in Observation correctly, heh heh.
