Chapter 1015: Zhao Wei

After Lin Feng's continuous roasting for several days, at this moment, under the high temperature of the Heavenly Flame, the blood color on that corpse has completely disappeared.

Moreover, the energy shield formed from yin-cold power, which had existed before, also gradually faded over these days and eventually disappeared completely.

Even Zhao Yuan's flesh, with the help of the Heavenly Snake's blood, had merged with the skeletal remains of the Creator Sage.

At the same time, Lin Feng's eyes, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened at this moment.

"The Heavenly Snake's blood has completely merged with the corpse; it's time."

Gazing at the corpse before him, Lin Feng muttered to himself, then he extended his hand and snatched the remnant soul of Zhao Yuan that was circling beside him.

Immediately afterward, he threw it into the gray-colored Heavenly Flame, and then it merged into the corpse.

"Hum!"

As the remnant soul entered, within the Heavenly Flame, the lifeless corpse's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of vitality.

At the same time, Lin Feng quickly increased the firepower, controlling the gray-colored Heavenly Flame as he frantically tempered the corpse.

"Sizzle~"

Under this frantic tempering, Zhao Yuan's remnant soul quickly turned into specks of starlight, completely merging into the body.

At the same time, Lin Feng seized the opportunity, quickly grabbing the large jade bottle containing the essence blood of a high-level Half-Saint Nine Netherworld Ice Python.

He then directly crushed the jade bottle, letting the essence blood pour straight down and sprinkle onto the corpse, producing a sizzling sound as the essence blood corroded the corpse.

After all, although the Heavenly Snake's blood is of excellent quality, its quantity is too little, so we must also add the essence blood of a Nine Netherworld Ice Python expert.

After adding the essence blood, Lin Feng closed his eyes again and focused on roasting this body.

This tempering, after continuing for several more days, only then did the essence blood of the Nine Netherworld Ice Python experts completely fuse with the corpse.

And during the continual roasting, the corpse became extremely desiccated, with only a thin layer of skin and flesh wrapping its skeletal remains.

However, although the corpse had become desiccated, Zhao Yuan, who had been constantly monitoring the corpse's condition, could see everything clearly.

Now, the corpse's eyes are no longer dull and lifeless as before, but instead emit a faint spiritual aura.

Compared to before, inside this desiccated corpse there has now emerged an extremely faint trace of vitality.

At the same time, Lin Feng, who was closing his eyes to temper the corpse, seemed to also sense this situation.

Immediately afterward, he suddenly opened his eyes, while reducing the temperature of the Heavenly Flame, he looked toward Zhao Yuan and shouted loudly: "Senior, enter quickly!"

"Okay."

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Yuan, who had long been eagerly waiting nearby, immediately nodded heavily.

At the same time as responding, he immediately took out the Soul-Returning Reviving Pill from the jade bottle.

Amid the pill's fragrant aroma, he quickly swallowed it into his stomach according to the data Lin Feng had previously given.

Thereafter, his figure swiftly turned illusory, transforming into a light-shadow that flashed into the skeletal remains wrapped in the gray-colored Heavenly Flame.

"Bang!"

Just as his soul entered the corpse, the skeletal remains within the Heavenly Flame violently shuddered.

At the same time, a beam of light was rapidly condensing within the eye sockets of the corpse, which emitted a faint vitality.

And precisely at this moment, an extremely terrifying strange energy burst violently out from within the skeletal remains.

It sent the unprepared Lin Feng flying, his feet uncontrollably stepping back more than ten paces before he barely managed to stop.

As for the corpse situated within the Heavenly Flame, under the drive of this energy, the dried flesh and blood on its bones miraculously began to regain vitality.

"Even using the body of a high-level Half-Saint expert, it recovers this quickly; it seems this Soul-Returning Reviving Pill is far stronger than the Bone-Growing Blood-Merging Pill!"

Gazing at the desiccated flesh and blood rapidly regaining its pale tenderness, Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

However, as he watched the newly formed flesh and blood on the corpse's surface wriggle rapidly, Lin Feng's expression immediately turned solemn.

"Senior, hold on—don't let your soul fall into slumber!"

Following a low shout from Lin Feng's mouth, he then moved his hand, and the gray-colored flames wrapping the corpse instantly surged in temperature, becoming even greater than before.

Under such flame tempering, the flesh and blood that had just regained its pale tenderness on the corpse were directly burned to ash, leaving only a warm, jade-like white jade skeleton.

However, this skeleton had already perfectly fused with Zhao Yuan's flesh and blood.

Therefore, as the ashes just dispersed, another terrifying strange energy spread out.

Upon the bones, new flesh and blood bearing Zhao Yuan's aura rapidly grew.

However, as soon as that flesh and blood finished growing, they were burned to ash by the surrounding Heavenly Flame.

However, thanks to the support of the Soul-Returning Reviving Pill's medicinal power, whenever that flesh and blood were destroyed, new flesh and blood would immediately sprout upon the jade-like bones.

Over the following several days, the action described above was simply repeated over and over in a cycle.

However, within this cycle, the speed of flesh and blood growth became increasingly faster.

Eventually, it became almost impossible to see anything but, amidst the rapid writhing and destruction of the flesh buds, a blurry flesh-and-blood human silhouette gradually taking shape.

"Alas, I have done all I can; now it's up to you."

Gazing at the blurry human silhouette within the gray-colored Heavenly Flame, Lin Feng let out a light sigh and then walked toward the outside.

Being experienced, he knew that next, it would be a matter of whether Zhao Yuan could complete the final fusion with this body.

If successful, under the superposition of many factors, Zhao Yuan would likely achieve a breakthrough to Dou Saint without major issue.

"Lin Feng, how is my brother?"

Upon seeing Lin Feng come out, Zhao Ran immediately stepped forward and asked nervously.

At the same time, a boy about three or four years old appeared beside her.

Moreover, this boy's appearance bore some resemblance to Zhao Ran.

However, judging from the fluctuations of his Battle Qi, his strength is evidently somewhat inferior to Lin Feng's; presumably his Battle Qi cultivation has just broken through to Eight-Star Dou Venerable.

"For now everything is going smoothly; afterward, as long as Senior Zhao Yuan can withstand the tempering of the Heavenly Flame, he will be able to fully merge with his new body."

Having said that, Lin Feng gave a light chuckle and then continued: "By then, I think he will be able to break through to Dou Saint."

While speaking, Lin Feng curiously sized up from head to toe that boy who bore some resemblance to Zhao Ran.

"Hehe, sister found a new boyfriend during this time. How about it, Lin Feng little brother, are you jealous?"

Hearing that her brother was fine, Zhao Ran let out a big breath, and seeing Lin Feng's gaze toward the man beside her, she immediately grabbed his hand and looked at Lin Feng with a smile.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng immediately nodded and said: "Although there is no law on the continent forbidding a son from marrying his mother, mainstream opinion seemingly does not approve of this; of course, I will still bless you."

Speaking, he lifted his eyelids and clapped his hands.

"Tch, not fun at all."

Seeing Lin Feng not showing the expression she wanted to see, Zhao Ran immediately flung away that man's hand.

Immediately after, she wearily pointed at that man and introduced: "This is my son, named Zhao Wei, now the head of our Zhao family. However, this guy's talent is far inferior to yours. He is already over two hundred years old, and only recently barely reached the Eight-Star Dou Zun level. Even his alchemy skill is merely at the eight-grade six-color level."

While speaking, Zhao Ran pinched that man's cheeks and said in frustration.

As for that man, he had a lifeless expression, allowing his old mother to toss him about as she pleased.

However, Lin Feng could tell from their actions that this mother-son pair had obviously done this before.

After Zhao Ran finished introducing her son, she immediately flickered her body to Lin Feng's side.

Pointing at him, she said to her son: "This is the Lin Feng I mentioned before; he is only twenty-eight this year and already an Eight-Star Dou Zun Peak and eight-grade peak alchemist."

"If you have nothing to do, you should learn more from him. Look at you, you're almost two hundred years old; whether it's Dou Qi strength or alchemy skill, you can't even compare to Lin Feng, who is under thirty, making me lose all face."

Saying that, Zhao Ran began the traditional maternal skill of constantly nagging her son.

As for Zhao Wei, his mouth twitched wildly, wearing an expression of helplessness.

At his current age, although he cannot compare to Lin Feng, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and other peerless geniuses who appear only once in several thousand years.

However, given that he also cultivates alchemy, being able to raise his own strength to Seven-Star Dou Zun within two hundred years is already not bad, right?

At the very least, if he puts in a bit more effort, perhaps he could successfully enter the Xiao Dan Tower before two hundred years of age.

And if he succeeds, it is very likely that he could secure a position in the Xiao Dan Tower's Grand Elder's courtyard.

Compared to others, he is already quite impressive, right?

Even among the younger generations of the other major forces in Zhongzhou's Five Clans and Seven Sects, few can surpass him.

Moreover, due to various reasons, the Zhao family's cultivation resources available to him since childhood are still inferior to those of the other major forces among the Five Clans and Seven Sects.

"Uncle, hurry up and come out of seclusion; I don't want to stay with my mother!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Wei couldn't help but feel indignant.

His mother, although not young in age, still has a youthful mind and has liked to mess with him since childhood.

In the entire Zhao family, only his uncle indulges him completely.

As for this mother, perhaps it would be better to marry her off, and the farther away the better.

Because having a mother whose mental age is sixteen, he really can't hold up!

"Pa!"

However, just as he was feeling indignant, Zhao Ran saw the child not snapping out of it, and immediately slapped him on the back of the head.

Of course, after all he is her biological son, Zhao Ran didn't use too much force, just enough to wake him up.

Immediately after, she grabbed Lin Feng's hand and said: "You kid, what are you spacing out for? Quickly call him Lin Uncle. This guy gets along well with your good uncle; you can't neglect him."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing his mother's words, Zhao Wei instantly felt like a bolt from the blue.

He is practically a senior nearing two hundred years old; calling a twenty-something youngster 'uncle'—how will he manage in Zhongzhou thereafter?

Then his son and grandson—wouldn't they have to call Lin Feng grandfather and great-grandfather?

"This mother, could it really be as the uncle said, having some shady relationship with this Lin Feng? Earlier the uncle told me to keep an eye on the mother, let them play in private, don't let it become known throughout Zhongzhou; I still didn't quite believe it. But judging from today's situation, well, I think the uncle's words make sense."

Thinking of what his uncle had said before, plus earlier when he inadvertently saw unfamiliar men's clothing in his mother's room.

Zhao Wei felt that the relationship between Lin Feng and his mother seemed rather dangerous!

"Pa!"

As Zhao Wei continued to space out, Zhao Ran couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, then slapped him again on the back of the head.

"You kid, what's wrong with you today? Could it be that you're getting senile dementia before two hundred? Do you want me, your mother, to brew you a potion to take?"

Seeing Zhao Wei's expression, Zhao Ran couldn't help but pinch his cheeks, speaking irritably.

After all, Lin Feng has considerable ties with the Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu; getting along well with him brings only benefits for her son.

Especially earlier, to revive his brother and enable him to break through to Dou Saint, Lin Feng repeatedly produced treasures that enhance soul power—Eight-Star Dou Saint level heavenly serpent bone marrow and blood.

Furthermore, when Lin Feng initially fought Liu Chang, he unleashed six kinds of strange fire that shocked the entire continent!

And each of these things, the Zhao family basically can only obtain them by luck.

Moreover, even then, one must suffer injury and strain to possibly obtain them.

From this, it can be seen that Lin Feng surely has even better treasures, plus his personality is not bad.

If her precious son could obtain some opportunity from him, perhaps he could soar to success and complete a comeback.

Therefore, she hurriedly took advantage of the time Lin Feng was reviving his brother and hastily summoned her son.

As a result, this useless kid, upon first meeting Lin Feng today, kept not knowing what he was doing, constantly spacing out.

If this opportunity is missed, who knows if there will be another such excellent chance later?

However, Zhao Wei, after being slapped again, merely wore a look of utter helplessness and said: "Mom, just stop hitting me; I am after all the head of the Zhao family. If you keep hitting my head, how can I establish authority before my subordinates?"

"You brat!"

Upon hearing that, Zhao Ran gritted her teeth and was about to lecture Zhao Wei.

"Hehe, Zhao Sister, forget it. Mr. Zhao Wei is so much older than me; if you have him call me uncle, wouldn't that make him a generation younger than his peers? Moreover, he is still the head of your Zhao family. Then how would you have him maintain dignity before the clansmen?"

Lin Feng gazed at Zhao Ran's exasperated expression, then gave a faint smile and said.

"Ah, this kid, truly is mud that cannot support a wall!"

Upon hearing that, Zhao Ran became so angry that the big steamed bun in front of her trembled violently up and down.

Given her understanding of her own son, how could she not know what Zhao Wei was thinking?

If Lin Feng weren't here today, she wouldn't be in a position to act, taking advantage of Zhao Yuan, the older brother who dotes on her own son, being absent.

She insists on letting the other party know what maternal love is!

Moreover, it is a maternal love of immeasurable weight!
