Chapter 191 Refining

Chapter 191 Refining
The soul power swept over the puppet's body like water waves, and the dark golden solution was slowly applied to every part of its body. For a moment, the smelly white mist continued to diffuse from the puppet's body. The hissing sound caused by the high temperature contacting the skin was quite creepy.

When all the solution was applied to the puppet's body, the cold gray-white color was replaced by a dark golden color. The golden light flickered, giving people a strange and extremely solid feeling.

Glancing at the puppet covered in the solution, Xiao Ling let out a breath, then waved his sleeves, and the strange fire surged out again, then completely wrapped the puppet, and the terrifying high temperature slowly seeped out...
As the high temperature continued to burn, the dark golden solution began to slowly erode into the puppet's skin. As the erosion intensified, the color of the puppet's body gradually began to change to silver, with a delicate luster, like flowing moonlight. It looked like it was made of pure silver.

Looking at the puppet that had changed color to silver, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered to himself: "Silver? An earth-level demon puppet, not bad."

According to the records in the bamboo slips, the celestial demon puppets are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and man. The best way to distinguish these three categories is to look at their skin color. Heaven is gold, earth is silver, and man is copper. The color displayed by this puppet now is obviously the second of the three categories.

Xiao Ling had actually anticipated that the body of this Dou Zun powerful warrior could not be directly refined into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, so he did not feel too disappointed.

The scorching flames did not stop, and the terrifying high temperature continued to seep out, turning the dark golden solution into the puppet's skin and dry muscles slowly.

The method of refining this so-called "Heavenly Demon Puppet" is to use these metal materials to transform the strength of a person's body. If it were a living person, he would probably explode and die on the spot after being tortured like this. However, this puppet, without any pain or feeling, can ignore this incomparable pain. Therefore, if the refining is successful.

Although the puppet does not understand the art of fighting, its body alone is the perfect killing weapon.

As the dark gold solution was gradually absorbed by the puppet, its skin, which originally had a silvery luster, suddenly began to glow with golden light.

The silver and golden light interweave, like the brightest stars in the night sky, appearing extremely mysterious and gorgeous.

Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the puppet. He noticed that subtle golden lines were gradually emerging beneath the silver skin.

The appearance of these golden lines not only adds a mysterious charm to the puppet, but also indicates that it is gradually approaching the highest realm of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

As the dark golden solution was slowly and completely absorbed by the puppet, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from its body.

Xiao Ling took back the strange fire, and he reacted quickly by releasing a layer of soul power barrier to cover up the powerful aura and prevent it from spreading.

……

In Xiao Ling's courtyard, the night deepened and the stars dotted the sky. Han Yue, Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin sat in the pavilion, laughing and chatting happily.

The moonlight was like water, shining through the gaps in the pavilion and onto them, bringing a hint of coolness, but also adding a bit of tranquility and peace. The fragrance of the flowers around them was even more subtle in the night breeze, accompanied by the chirping of insects, creating a different atmosphere.

Although everyone has learned that Han Yue is about to leave, the atmosphere in the courtyard is still relaxed and lively, without too much sadness. They believe that this separation is only temporary, and one day in the future, they will meet again. Zi Yan swallowed a pill and asked carelessly: "Why hasn't Xiao Ling come out yet? More than a week has passed. What gift is he preparing?" There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in her voice.

Qing Lin guessed, his eyes flashing with admiration for Xiao Ling's skills: "I think it might be a pill. After all, the young master is best at refining medicine. He spent so much time, so the pill he prepared for Sister Han Yue must be of high quality."

Xiao Yixiang shook her head, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes: "You may have guessed wrong. Before Xiao Ling entered the secret room, he went to the Demon Flame Valley. The gift he prepared should be related to that place." Her voice was low and full of mystery, which made people look forward to Xiao Ling's gift.

The three girls' eyes involuntarily turned to Han Yue, their curiosity was evident. Qing Lin couldn't help but ask, "Sister Han Yue, did the young master tell you what the gift is?"

Han Yue shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "I know nothing either. Xiao Ling always likes to give people surprises, and this time is probably no exception." Her words revealed her trust and expectations for Xiao Ling, as well as a hint of sweet shyness.

Seeing Han Yue's expression, Zi Yan suddenly asked out of the blue, "Han Yue, what is your relationship with Xiao Ling?" Her question made the originally relaxed atmosphere instantly become a little subtle, and the air in the pavilion seemed to freeze.

Han Yue's smile froze slightly, and her expression was a little unnatural. She avoided Zi Yan's gaze and gently stroked the edge of the teacup with her fingers. She did not answer, but this tacit attitude and the complex emotions that flashed in her eyes were enough to make Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian realize the unusual relationship between her and Xiao Ling.

Qinglin looked at Han Yue's complicated expression, and envy welled up in her heart. She imagined how happy she would be if she could also get Xiao Ling's favor. She bit her lips lightly, a trace of desire flashed in her eyes, but then she smiled and shook her head, hiding the envy deep in her heart.

Zi Yan touched her arm uncomfortably. She felt that compared with Han Yue, her figure was too petite and inconspicuous. She did not have the charm that Han Yue had to attract Xiao Ling.

She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and sighed secretly. She made up her mind that from now on, she would work harder to take medicinal herbs and strive to recover her adult body as soon as possible.

Xiao Yixian sat quietly aside, but was secretly calculating in her heart. She knew that the relationship between her and Xiao Ling was still in an unclear state, but she had her own plans and ambitions.

Xiao Yixian had already started to plot in her mind. She made up her mind that the next time the right opportunity came, she would try to completely capture Xiao Ling.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, the sound of footsteps approaching from afar broke the silence in the pavilion.

Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Ling's figure slowly appearing at the entrance of the pavilion with a gentle smile on his face.
