"Is this a celestial elixir being refined?"
The Desolate Ancient Soul Devouring Toad, its innate bloodline completely extracted, was tossed aside by Ji Mo.
Weak and like a puddle of mud, it stared with wide, shocked eyes at the iron cauldron.
It had never smelled such medicinal fragrance before. Just a single whiff had its depleted body rapidly recovering.
If it could drink a mouthful of the liquid in the cauldron, wouldn't its injuries be healed? And if it could drink the entire cauldron dry, would it ascend to become an immortal on the spot?
The Desolate Ancient Soul Devouring Toad was incredibly excited. Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, it slowly crawled towards the iron cauldron.
"Wow, a fat toad!"
A'Li's black, gem-like eyes sparkled with joy as she ran over and scooped up the Desolate Ancient Soul Devouring Toad.
Then, she proceeded to rub it vigorously, thoroughly enjoying herself.
"I am a dignified Demon Emperor, not a toy."
The Desolate Ancient Soul Devouring Toad's heart sank to the bottom. It thought it would have been better off being eaten. To be played with as a pet by a mere toddler, if word got out, it would truly never be able to hold its head up again.
It struggled, trying to break free from A'Li's small, claw-like hands and rush towards the cauldron of immortal medicine, but it was futile. It was held tightly, becoming the little girl's plaything.
In the pond, the Dragon Fish surfaced one by one, inhaling the drifting medicinal fragrance.
Their bodies were filled with dragon aura, and their dragon horns and claws had fully grown. They were getting closer and closer to evolving into true dragons.
The Sky Peng finally broke through. Its black feathers were now adorned with golden patterns, its eyes were blood-red, and its gaze was sharp as it opened and closed them, transforming into a Demon Sage.
Huineng and Xuan Ao also gained unimaginable benefits, their cultivation soaring to the peak of the Saint realm, even faintly touching the threshold of the Emperor realm.
The Ginseng King was the happiest. Its aged face seemed to have regained its youth, becoming young and naive. It was truly growing younger, moving closer to its wish of becoming a ginseng baby.
"I didn't expect my second transformation to happen so soon."
The Nine-Transformation Celestial Silkworm appeared on the willow tree, spinning silk to form a cocoon, preparing for its second transformation.
The light within the iron cauldron grew increasingly brilliant, while the medicinal fragrance gradually faded.
Half a day later, the entire cauldron of medicinal liquid had dried up, and a small pill appeared at the bottom of the iron cauldron.
The pill was only the size of a red bean, completely pink, like a small piece of rose-colored crystal.
All the humans and demons gathered around, eager to see what treasure had finally been refined.
Before everyone could get a clear look, Ji Mo picked up the pill and said to A'Li, "A'Li, stop playing with that toad. Come to your brother."
Hearing Ji Mo's call, A'Li immediately dropped the Desolate Ancient Soul Devouring Toad and ran over.
"Brother Ji, you only cooked a little bean, it's not enough for A'Li to eat."
A'Li opened her mouth and bit down.
Ji Mo quickly held her back and guided the crystal-clear pill towards her forehead.
In an instant, the little girl froze as if petrified, completely motionless.
The magical pill slowly seeped into A'Li's skin, merging with her.
The surrounding simpletons all gathered, wanting to see what miraculous effects Ji Mo's refined pill possessed.
Bang!
A'Li's body suddenly erupted with a terrifying power that swept out in all directions.
Except for Ji Mo, who stood firm, no one else could resist and were all sent flying backward.
"Immortal Spirit Power!"
Huineng and the others were all filled with horror.
What Ji Mo had refined was indeed a celestial elixir, which had caused A'Li's body to generate Immortal Spirit Power.
But A'Li was so young and had never cultivated before. Could she withstand it?
As expected, A'Li showed signs of pain. She wanted to cry out but couldn't utter a sound.
The power was too immense for her to control.
"A'Li, don't be afraid. Just bear with it for a moment, and the pain will be gone soon."
Ji Mo's fingertips gently massaged A'Li's forehead. As his fingers moved, strands of Dao rhythm continuously entered her forehead.
The pink pill completely merged with A'Li, with no trace of rejection.
The violent power within A'Li's body also became docile, and the pain subsided.
Seeing this, Ji Mo withdrew his fingers.
A cinnabar mole appeared on A'Li's forehead, emitting a continuous stream of Immortal Spirit Qi that washed over the little girl's body.
The hideous scar on A'Li's forehead vanished in an instant.
Her brow was radiant with flowing light. Where her Dao bone had been gouged out, new bone began to grow.
The newly grown bone was as white as jade, with mysterious runes flickering within it, emitting an ethereal aura.
"Immortal Bone, this is an Immortal Bone!"
Gasps of cold air filled the scene as everyone stared at A'Li, dumbfounded.
After the Immortal Path was severed in the Xuanling Realm, there had been no immortals for nearly ten thousand years. Could an immortal reappear in the mortal world?
The Immortal Bone fully formed, emitting a radiance like the sun, its brilliant rays illuminating the sky. The surging Immortal Spirit aura spread across the five regions and four oceans.
The entire Xuanling Realm was completely in an uproar!
"It's Immortal Spirit Aura!"
"Did an immortal artifact appear, or did someone break through their limitations and become an immortal?"
Countless powerful beings and Spirit Emperors sensed it, wanting to ascertain the truth.
But the aura vanished instantly, concealed by a mysterious force.
It was the Innate Eight Trigrams Array that obscured everything, preventing outsiders from probing any information about A'Li. Otherwise, it would have undoubtedly caused chaos.
After all, the allure of becoming an immortal was too great.
A'Li's aura grew stronger and stronger, and her cultivation was soaring at a terrifying speed.
Spirit Scholar realm!
Spirit Master realm!
Spirit宗 realm!
Spirit King realm!
Spirit Emperor realm!
Spirit Venerable realm!
In just the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the little girl had gone from a mortal to the Spirit Venerable realm.
This was a realm that most cultivators could not reach in their entire lives!
"The youngest Spirit Venerable in history!"
Huineng couldn't help but sigh.
If he hadn't met Ji Mo, he might have remained stuck in the Spirit Venerable realm his entire life. And it had taken him nearly three hundred years of arduous cultivation to become a Spirit Venerable.
In contrast, A'Li had achieved it in such a short time.
Truly, comparing oneself to others could be infuriating.
However, this was not the end. A'Li's aura continued to surge, and soon she broke through to the Spirit Saint realm.
But her small face turned ashen, clearly indicating that her body had reached its limit and could no longer contain stronger power.
The cinnabar mole on A'Li's forehead also sensed her body's condition and stopped transmitting Immortal Spirit Qi. The radiance of the Immortal Bone then dissipated.
"What a pity. This girl's body is still too weak. Otherwise, she might have directly become an immortal!"
Even the Desolate Ancient Soul Devouring Toad felt regret for A'Li.
Becoming an immortal was a dream far beyond its reach. It had thought it was hopeless in this lifetime, but seeing this scene now stirred its heart once more.
"Pfft..."
Suddenly, A'Li's body underwent another anomaly. Her entire body turned red, and she forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood.
