Chapter 125.1 : A Bit Tight. (Part 1)
While the women were observing Ying Qingjue, Ying Qingjue was likewise appraising them in turn.
When her gaze landed on Dantai Jinglian, her brilliant golden eyes narrowed slightly. This woman was someone she remembered all too well.
But when she looked at Luo Huangjun, she froze for a moment, shock flashing across her eyes.
'She has actually stepped into the Ninth Heaven?! Truly impressive!'
Ying Qingjue sighed inwardly. Even at her own peak, when she was the same age as Luo Huangjun, her achievements had still fallen short of the other woman's.
"Begin."
Luo Huangjun had no intention of conversing with Ying Qingjue. She merely gave her a few measured glances.
As her words fell, Shui Qianrou flicked her sleeve, and countless spiritual materials appeared, floating in midair.
Seeing this, Dantai Jinglian snapped her fingers. Immediately, a blood-red flame emerged, engulfing all the spiritual materials.
This was refinement—discarding the dross and extracting only the purest essence from within.
Dantai Jinglian's cultivation was profound, and the flame she controlled was far from ordinary. It was an extremely powerful exotic fire. Moreover, she herself was a masterful artifact refiner.
Thus, despite the sheer quantity of materials, it took only a short moment for the refinement to be completed.
"It's done."
Her languid voice sounded. As the words fell, the blood-red flames dissipated.
Suspended in midair now was only a single mass of Body-Forging Essence, condensed from countless rare spiritual materials.
Shui Qianrou nodded and took out a pill—precisely the one Chu Ge had asked her to refine that day.
With a flick of her slender hand, she tossed it toward Ying Qingjue. Though Ying Qingjue existed only as a soul, she caught the pill steadily.
Then Ying Qingjue looked toward Chu Ge.
"Xiao Ge, when you inject the Creation Profound Light into me later, could you also add an extra strand of your Purple Extreme Imperial Dragon blood? Using it as a catalyst, I can raise the strength of this reconstructed body by another tier."
Hearing this, Chu Ge understood that it would be beneficial to Ying Qingjue and immediately agreed.
"No problem, Sister Qingjue."
In any case, it was only a small amount of blood—hardly a loss to him.
Having received Chu Ge's answer, Ying Qingjue did not hesitate.
She pressed the pill against her brow, and then her soul body drifted directly into the mass of Body-Forging Essence.
As for the final step—shaping the essence into a physical shell—although external assistance would have made it easier, Ying Qingjue chose to complete it herself.
If it were merely an ordinary carrier body, there would be no need for such care.
But this body would soon be infused with Creation Profound Light. It was no ordinary vessel, and not the slightest carelessness could be afforded.
After all, only she herself knew the finer details of her own body.
This was also because Ying Qingjue had been extraordinarily powerful in life—only then could she complete this step independently. An ordinary Upper-Three-Heavens cultivator would be utterly incapable of such a feat.
Seeing that Ying Qingjue had begun forming the body, Chu Ge stepped forward.
A hazy, profound light appeared in his hand as he bit open one of his fingers.
Then, he placed both palms into the Body-Forging Essence.
The Creation Profound Light was quickly absorbed by Ying Qingjue, and the blood flowing from his finger also seemed to be drawn in.
After a short while, when the suction at his fingertip finally ceased, Chu Ge withdrew his hands from the essence.
At this point, all the externally assisted steps of the body reconstruction had been completed. What remained was something Ying Qingjue would need to finish on her own.
If it were an ordinary person, the subsequent formation would still take a considerable amount of time.
But Ying Qingjue was clearly no ordinary being.
In the blink of an eye, the Body-Forging Essence had already taken on a humanoid shape, rapidly refining and perfecting itself at a pace visible to the naked eye.
However, the body was currently shrouded in spiritual light, making its form indistinct.
Chu Ge was in no hurry and waited quietly.
The women likewise did not leave. Instead, they remained alongside Chu Ge, waiting together.
