Chapter 114 Refining the Golden Body in the Prison Soul Cauldron (15)

The Mountain God Temple, the backyard where Li Boyang often lived.

"You actually convinced him to be your 'guinea pig'?"

Xi Luo stared at the burning Soul Cauldron, her surprise and astonishment undisguised.

"No... I didn't intend to do this in the first place..."

Looking at Xiao Yue, who had already entered the Prison Soul Cauldron, Li Boyang shook his head without hesitation.

As Li Boyang said, he never intended to let Xiao Yue enter the Prison Soul Cauldron from the beginning.

It was Xiao Yue who took the initiative to request to use the Prison Soul Cauldron after learning that Li Boyang had some relatively unsafe shortcuts.

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

"Then what are you going to do next?"

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

Having spent so much time with Li Boyang, Xi Luo 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 primordial fire is ultimately different from a real flame."

Upon hearing the melody, Xi Luo immediately understood the implied meaning.

"You've found the correct way to use this Soul-Piercing 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 Soul Cauldron.

"There are countless kinds of primordial energy in the world, but the ones I am most familiar with are the earth's vein energy and the life energy..."

"If we only use these two kinds of primordial energy as firewood..."

"I think I should be able to control the flames produced by this Soul-Binding Cauldron."

After Li Boyang reminded her, Xi Luo noticed that the Soul Cauldron was not burning with colorful flames today.

Having eliminated all impure primordial energy and complex chain reactions, the Prison Soul Cauldron is now burning with pure malevolent fire.

"That's... a spirit-gathering array?"

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

As the intricate patterns on the surface of the Prison Soul Cauldron lit up one by one, a spirit-gathering array was formed specifically to collect and absorb malevolent energy.

This spirit-gathering array actively repels other vital energies, only converting malevolent energy into flames for use.

"How did you do that!?"

Xi Luo never imagined that the complex patterns on the surface of the Prison Soul Cauldron could actually form incantations and proverbs on their own.

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

"He clearly didn't understand any talismans or incantations, yet he managed to inscribe most of the incantations related to vital energy onto the cauldron, forming a variant of an incomplete 'energy talisman'."

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

"This means that as long as the right way to use it is found..."

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

“Even if these proverbs are incomplete, I can easily fill in the gaps by referring to the ‘energy talismans’ left by the Huaijiang witch.”

Having pulled out the Destiny Bone Armor once again, Li Boyang spoke with great confidence.

“Looking at this Soul-Piercing Cauldron, I even had a new inspiration.”

"Even a variant of 'energy spell' created through exhaustive combination can achieve this level of power..."

"So, to what extent can a truly perfect energy talisman, and other talismans, achieve?"

"The twelve aphorisms left by your sister are the real treasure."

“I had clearly been ignoring this all along.”

After hearing Li Boyang's explanation, Xi Luo suddenly understood.

No wonder she felt that some of the illuminated patterns on the surface of the cauldron looked a bit out of place. It turns out that those were all products that Li Boyang had filled in himself based on the [energy talisman]!
"Wait, are you sure your procedure is correct?"

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

Just then, Xi Luo suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the burning Soul Cauldron.

"what?"

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

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

As if to confirm Li Boyang's words, the evil fire in the Prison Soul Cauldron suddenly expanded.

The next second, the raging evil energy transformed into a fire dragon, as if it were alive, and began to circulate around the entire Prison Soul Cauldron.

This is precisely the greatest characteristic of the Prison Soul Cauldron, besides burning primordial energy—it endows all things with spirituality.

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

These energy should have flowed into Xiaoyue's body to help temper the evil energy in his physical body and replenish the spirituality of his mind.

Now, however, it has been rejected by Xiao Yue and has unexpectedly merged into a dragon full of spiritual energy and malevolent aura.

Wait...maybe it's not my problem...

[The inability of malevolent energy to enter the body and the repulsion 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...

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

The Xiaoyue in the cauldron could also clearly feel that an increasingly intense heat wave was trying to ignite it.

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

tumultuous!
The moment I felt the heat again.

Xiao Yue clearly felt his bones melting and being reforged little by little.

During this process, the various "pills" that Li Boyang had Xiao Yue swallow beforehand quickly took effect.

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

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

After being mixed 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 exhibits a higher biocompatibility than titanium alloys.

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, before Xiao Yue, Li Boyang had no need for this at all.

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 Xiao Yue 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 Xiaoyue's flesh and bones, and then been tempered with baleful energy using a special breathing technique.

If the Soul Cauldron is not used, this process will be extremely long.

Roughly estimated, it would take several years, or even decades, for Xiaoyue to complete its true transformation.

However, once he needs to use 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 evil energy.

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

Unfortunately, due to the sudden loss of control of the Prison Soul Cauldron, the evil energy and spirituality that should have flowed into Xiao Yue's body did not appear in time.

This caused Xiaoyue's body to experience a severe rejection reaction.

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 serious 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.
