Chapter 417

Three months later.

The sky above the Thunder Swamp, which was originally covered in dark clouds, suddenly rumbled with thunder on this day. The boundless dark clouds disappeared, replaced by a tribulation cloud filled with white lightning.

The original ten thousand miles of dark clouds were all swallowed by the tribulation cloud, allowing sunlight to shine down on the Thunder Swamp, which had not seen sunlight for years.

In the center of the tribulation cloud, Long Xuan looked up at the white lightning filling the sky, his small face showing no signs of panic.

This time, he was full of confidence in crossing the tribulation. Before the Calamity Gu completed its second transformation, it had successfully crossed the Reincarnation Thunder. Now that the Reincarnation Thunder was descending for the second time, it naturally posed no threat to it.

He didn't know whose hands the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill had ultimately fallen into. At this moment, in order to trade Heavenly Water with Old Man Water, he could only refine another one.

Re-refining a Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill didn't need three months, but unfortunately, the group of clones and the Calamity Gu were not lightly injured and could only spend some time recuperating.

When the clones and the Calamity Gu successfully recovered from their injuries, Long Xuan did not hesitate and immediately began to refine the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill across ranks.

With the experience of the first time, refining the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill this time was naturally familiar, and it was refined easily.

The Thunder Swamp itself is a forbidden area where human activities are prohibited. Summoning the Reincarnation Thunder here would not attract Gu Kings from far away.

At this moment, the first Reincarnation Thunder had already descended. The Calamity Gu revealed an excited look, flew toward the sky, and headed straight for the first Heavenly Tribulation.

Unlike last time, this time the Calamity Gu collided with the Reincarnation Thunder and was not knocked flying again. Instead, it swallowed the Reincarnation Thunder into its belly in one gulp and even gave a comfortable burp. Where was the miserable look of almost being struck to death by the Reincarnation Thunder before?

Three months ago, the Calamity Gu successfully swallowed the Reincarnation Thunder, completed its transformation with this, and possessed the power to manipulate the Reincarnation Thunder.

It was now the Reincarnation Thunder itself; how could it be afraid of the Reincarnation Thunder?

The white lightning dancing in the sky was nothing more than its snacks.

After the first Heavenly Tribulation descended without result, the second and third soon followed...

However, although the Heavenly Tribulation was stronger with each strike, the descending Heavenly Tribulation could never pose any threat to the Calamity Gu and was instead swallowed by it one after another.

Looking at the Calamity Gu feasting in the air, Long Xuan felt full of security.

Now that the Calamity Gu could manipulate the Reincarnation Thunder, with the Reincarnation Thunder in hand, who in the world was his match among his peers?

The Heavenly Tribulation descended one after another, without any pause.

Not long after, only the last Heavenly Tribulation remained in the sky. A well-mouth-sized lightning bolt fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the Calamity Gu.

This final Reincarnation Thunder rarely posed a slight threat to the Calamity Gu, knocking its body back a few steps, but that was all.

After this Heavenly Tribulation descended, the tribulation cloud in the sky slowly dissipated.

The deafening thunder disappeared, and the sunlight shone down again. The Thunder Swamp was a scene of beautiful weather, as if that terrifying scene had just never happened.

Long Xuan looked toward the Calamity Gu and felt relieved when he saw that it had no injuries on its body.

However, after swallowing so many Reincarnation Thunders, the Calamity Gu only increased its growth level a little, which made him a little disappointed.

"The Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill has been successfully refined. No time to lose; it's time to go find Old Man Water to trade for Heavenly Water."

Long Xuan revealed a slight smile, lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace, took out the green pill in the center of the alchemy furnace, and looked at the human phantom moving back and forth on the surface of the pill. The smile at the corner of his mouth became even wider.

Putting the freshly baked Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill into a pill bottle, Long Xuan held the pill bottle and immediately walked toward the center of the Thunder Swamp.

After a while, he came to the familiar lake again, bent down, stretched his neck, looked at the bottom of the lake, searched carefully for a long time, and finally found Old Man Water's figure.

Old Man Water seemed very afraid of thunder, actually hiding in a corner at the bottom of the lake and shivering, clearly frightened by the Reincarnation Thunder just now.

"Old Man Water, it's me. I've come to trade Heavenly Water with you. Appear quickly." Long Xuan shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Old Man Water's soul trembled, and he immediately flew out from the bottom of the lake and landed not far in front of Long Xuan, with an extraordinary bearing, like an expert from the outside world. Where was there any look of panic?

It was as if the shivering figure just now was not him.

"Never expected you to complete the task so quickly. Did you bring me Shui Wuqing's head, or did you bring me a shell that meets my possession standards?"

As soon as Old Man Water appeared, he asked with burning eyes, unable to wait.

"I didn't kill Shui Wuqing, nor did I find a genius that meets your possession standards. I brought you something else."

"With this thing, your physical body can be reshaped; you don't need to go and possess someone else's shell."

"Even if someone else's shell is perfect, it ultimately isn't your own."

After saying this, Long Xuan took out the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill, looking at Old Man Water with a confident look. With such a heaven-defying treasure, he didn't believe he wouldn't take the bait.

Old Man Water looked at the pill bottle in his hand curiously. The pill bottle was transparent. Through the pill bottle, he could clearly see the human phantom moving back and forth on the surface of the pill, and he was greatly surprised.

"A pill that can reshape the physical body for a soul body? I have never heard of such a pill in this world."

Old Man Water's eyes flickered. Although he knew there was no need for Long Xuan to lie to him, he truly found it hard to believe. The efficacy of such a pill was simply too inconceivable; how could he easily believe it?

However, thinking of the Reincarnation Tribulation that had just appeared, and looking at this warm pill, which was clearly refined not long ago, his pupils shrank, and his heart immediately accelerated a bit.

If there was any pill in the Gu World that could summon the Reincarnation Thunder, I'm afraid only this heaven-defying pill that could reshape the physical body for a soul body could do it.

At this moment, he already believed it eighty percent in his heart.

"Who was refining pills here just now? And was the pill refined this pill?"

Old Man Water widened his eyes, a stormy sea rising in his heart. There was actually someone in this world who could refine a pill that summoned the Reincarnation Thunder, and how terrifying would a person who could withstand the Reincarnation Thunder be? He dared not imagine.

He had never once thought that Long Xuan, a tiny Third Grade Alchemist, could refine a heaven-defying Fourth Grade pill. He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

Seeing Old Man Water's solemn expression, Long Xuan smiled in his heart, knowing that his goal of deterrence had been achieved.

As long as he had a big backer behind him that Old Man Water feared, then Old Man Water would never dare to bully the small with the big when trading with him.

"That was my master. After he refined the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill, he was struck by the Heavenly Tribulation and suffered heavy injuries. He is currently in seclusion to recuperate."

"I swear before the Honesty Gu that the matter of the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill being able to reshape the physical body for a soul body is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, can't you believe the Honesty Gu?"

While Long Xuan was speaking, he took out that most hateful Gu worm again and placed it on his shoulder.

He seemed to be using the Honesty Gu to prove the authenticity of the pill, but in reality, he was using the Honesty Gu to prove the previous sentence—that he indeed had a very awesome master, and it was definitely not someone Old Man Water could easily provoke, so it was best not to act rashly.

Things were just as he expected. When Long Xuan said he had a master, the Honesty Gu did not glow. Old Man Water subconsciously believed he had a very awesome master. At this moment, the look in his eyes when looking at him was different. He secretly sighed that this child's background was definitely not simple and must never be provoked.

At this moment, with the Honesty Gu as a witness, he believed one hundred percent in this pill that could reshape the physical body for a soul body. Looking at the pill, his breathing could not help but become rapid.
