After a while, Su Yun completely digested the information in his mind.
Letting out a long breath, he approached the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
The blue lotus was quietly waiting in the space, magnificent and beautiful.
Su Yun laid out everything he needed to refine the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire not far away.
Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Soul Absorber!
To be on the safe side, Su Yun began searching for body-strengthening martial skills in his mind.
Refining a strange fire would inevitably bring unimaginable pain, and the stronger his physical body, the better.
Although his magic nucleus reserves couldn't support him to cultivate Earth Rank body-strengthening martial skills, adding a few High Mystic Rank ones would still have some effect.
He was very cautious about his life, and even a slight increase in success rate mattered.
"Vajra Arhat Body, fuse!"
...
"Lion-Tiger Body Strengthening Technique, fuse!"
...
"Dragon-Elephant Body Forging Technique, fuse!"
Under Su Yun's operations, he fused three more High Mystic Rank body-strengthening martial skills.
Feeling the abundant strength throughout his body, Su Yun's uneasy heart finally gained a bit of confidence.
A single High Mystic Rank martial skill could make his physical body comparable to a 4th Tier Demon Beast; with four now, his body should at least rival a 5th Tier Demon Beast, right?
Su Yun let out a long breath, rested for a while, and adjusted his state to its peak.
Let's do it!
He grabbed the Blood Lotus Pill and swallowed it in one go.
The Blood Lotus Pill entered his body, emitting a cold and yin energy that spread through his meridians and bones.
Before long, Su Yun's entire body was wrapped in a blood-red layer, like a suit of crimson armor.
Using his inner vision, Su Yun nodded, seeing his meridians and internal organs tightly sealed by the blood-red layer.
He extended his blood-red right hand towards the center of the blue lotus platform, where the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire resided.
The blue flames carried terrifying heat, which ordinary people dared not approach.
Under the protection of the blood-red layer formed by the Blood Lotus Pill, Su Yun's right hand penetrated the chilling blue flames, aiming directly for the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
The moment Su Yun's right hand touched the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, the blood-red layer rapidly melted.
Su Yun's expression changed, but his movements did not hesitate; instead, they sped up, reaching for the fire seed.
Although the blood-red layer was quickly melted by the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, as it melted, a new layer would form on Su Yun's right hand, stubbornly resisting the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
Seeing that the effects of the Blood Lotus Pill had not yet run out and still had some power left, Su Yun slightly relaxed.
Focusing his mind on his right hand, he finally grasped a thread of liquid that resembled blue magma.
Looking at what he held, Su Yun understood that this was the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire!
Taking a deep breath, Su Yun swallowed the fire seed!
Pain, too much pain!
Su Yun clenched his teeth and immersed his mind in his body.
The fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire flowed through Su Yun's meridians, emitting blue flames with terrifying heat, burning his meridians.
However, the blood-red layer protected his meridians, and the effects of the Blood Lotus Pill continued, preventing his meridians from being instantly burned through.
A trace of pain flashed across Su Yun's face, and he immediately took the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and swallowed it.
A cold current flowed through his meridians, neutralizing the heat of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, making Su Yun feel better.
He didn't stop; the Blood Lotus Pill and Ice Spirit Cold Spring could only counter the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire for a short time. If too much time passed, he would be evaporated by the terrifying heat!
He frantically mobilized his Martial Qi, flooding it towards the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
Under Su Yun's control, the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire slowly followed the Martial Qi, moving along the path of the Burning Cold Decision.
Throughout the process, Su Yun endured inhuman pain.
As time passed, even with the dual protection of the Blood Lotus Pill and Ice Spirit Cold Spring, cracks began to appear in his meridians, making them riddled with holes.
Worse still, the effects of the Blood Lotus Pill and Ice Spirit Cold Spring were almost exhausted!
A trace of ferocity flashed across Su Yun's face; it was almost done, just one more large cycle!
Relying on his terrifying willpower, Su Yun finally completed one large cycle with the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire along the path of the Burning Cold Decision before the Blood Lotus Pill and Ice Spirit Cold Spring were completely consumed.
At this moment, the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire seemed to calm down, restraining the rampant Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire in Su Yun's meridians and completely hiding its heat within the fire seed.
Seeing this, Su Yun let out a sigh of relief, picked up the Soul Absorber, and wrapped it in Martial Qi, moving it through his meridians.
Next, he needed to absorb the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire into the Soul Absorber.
Su Yun used his inner vision to check his body; the Soul Absorber was waiting in his meridians, and the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, not sensing any danger, was still quietly residing in Su Yun's meridians.
Su Yun drew Martial Qi from his Dantian, making it surge through his meridians and wrap around the Soul Absorber.
Feeling the meridians near the Soul Absorber swell, Su Yun knew he had reached the limit.
If he infused more Martial Qi, the meridians would likely not withstand it.
The accumulated Martial Qi immediately surged out, carrying the Soul Absorber towards the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
The fire seed had a spirit and seemed to sense a hint of danger, trying to evade as the Soul Absorber approached.
However, with a purposeful move against an unaware one, the fire seed of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire couldn't escape.
Spirit does not mean intelligence; otherwise, the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire wouldn't have been so easily absorbed into the system space by Su Yun earlier.
The Soul Absorber moved extremely fast, and before the fire seed could react, it was swallowed by the Soul Absorber.
A trace of joy flashed across Su Yun's eyes as he wrapped the Soul Absorber in Martial Qi and transported it to his Dantian.
Seeing the Soul Absorber quietly resting in his Dantian, Su Yun could no longer contain his joy.
"Hahaha… uh, caught a phlegm, cough, cough."
Su Yun coughed, took out some pills to treat internal injuries and meridians, and began healing himself.
The process of refining the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, though it seemed short, had actually taken most of the day.
At this time, Queen Medusa's Martial Qi had fully recovered in the outside world.
She put on a set of exquisite silk robes from her Storage Ring.
Looking at the Flame Sun Crystal Orb, which remained motionless, a trace of annoyance flashed across Medusa's face.
She put the Flame Sun Crystal Orb back into her Storage Ring and headed towards the ground.
When she came down, there was a group of humans at the cave entrance; perhaps they knew something.
Moreover, she had just sensed a familiar aura appearing on the surface.
A trace of a cold smile flashed across Queen Medusa's lips; the old man came quite quickly.
The speed of a Martial Emperor was incredible; in less than half a minute, Queen Medusa's figure appeared on the surface.
Hmph.
Sure enough, an old man in a hemp robe was waiting at the cave entrance.
The humans from before were also nearby.
Thank you, a sweet candy in the middle of the night, for the 100 reading coins.
