Chapter 126 Yao Lao: I resurrected using the body of a Realm Lord?
"Is the Pavilion Master joking?" Elder Yao gave a wry smile, his tone tinged with self-deprecation.
"The value of those previous celestial-level bodies far exceeded what my master and I could afford, let alone this realm lord-level one—"
His gaze swept over the corpse, feeling the terrifying power surging within it, and his throat involuntarily bobbed.
"With such a body, let alone my master and me, even if the Medicine Clan, one of the eight ancient races, were to use all their strength, we probably couldn't obtain even a fraction of it."
With his physical body alone, he could rival a Dou Di. If he were to cultivate further, the level of power he would reach would be beyond even Yao Lao's wildest imagination.
Let alone the Medicine Clan, even a behemoth like the Soul Clan, even if they used all their resources, might not be able to buy it.
Even a Dou Di level expert would probably be driven mad by this body.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing smiled faintly: "Who said you had to spend money?"
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were both relieved. The master and disciple exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
"The Zhutian Pavilion never acts according to common sense." Xu Qing raised his hand and pointed to the corpse of a peak Realm Lord in the corner.
"If you want this physical body, you only need to agree to one thing. Once you agree, not only will this physical body be yours, but I will also personally craft a resurrected body for you to help you return to the world."
Faced with such generous terms, Yao Lao took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart: "Sect Master, please speak! As long as my master and I can accomplish it, we will do anything, even die a thousand deaths!"
"It's very simple." Xu Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority. "Sign a contract."
He flicked his fingertip, and a stream of light landed in front of the two of them, transforming into a golden contract document.
"Firstly, after signing the contract, all members of the Soul Clan will belong to me, and you are not allowed to harm a single one of them."
Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted—the Soul Clan was one of the most powerful forces on the Dou Qi Continent, with unfathomable depths, yet Xu Qing had described them as...
It has become a bargaining chip that can be traded at will.
Secondly.
Xu Qing's gaze fell on Xiao Yan.
"All the opportunities, elixirs, resources, and inheritances in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave belong to me."
When Xu Qing finished speaking, both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were stunned. The two masters and disciples looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep confusion.
What does this have to do with them?
Neither the Dou Di Cave nor the Soul Clan members had to give anything in return; in fact, Pavilion Master Xu Qing didn't even ask them to steal these things and offer them up.
This is practically an empty promise, and you can get this body for nothing?
They simply couldn't understand why the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Pavilion would propose such a condition that seemed to have little to do with them.
Given Xu Qing's displayed strength, if he truly wanted to obtain the treasures from the ancient emperor's cave, he could easily crush those so-called top races with a wave of his hand.
There is absolutely no need to rely on their help.
The old apothecary's fingertips trembled slightly. His gaze lingered on the corpse of the peak Realm Lord for a moment before turning to Xu Qing's calm and composed profile.
He had lived for hundreds of years and seen too many conspiracies and schemes, but the conditions offered by this person were simply too unbelievable. They wouldn't make them go through fire and water, nor would they make them work like slaves.
All it takes is a contract that has nothing to do with them to exchange for a chance to live a second life, and a physical body that is enough to drive all the powerful people on the Dou Qi Continent crazy.
"However, the ancient cave of that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor—"
Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan as he finished speaking.
Opening the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave requires the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the eight major races; this matter should be asked of Xiao Yan.
"Master," Xiao Yan called out softly from the side.
"It's just a piece of jade. The conditions offered by this senior pavilion master are far too generous. We have no reason to refuse."
The old doctor took a deep breath, suppressing the last trace of doubt in his heart.
Yes, given the methods Xu Qing has shown, if he really wanted to scheme against them, he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths.
He looked up at Xu Qing, cupped his hands, and said, "Since the Pavilion Master is so kind, Yao Chen naturally accepts!"
Xiao Yan followed closely behind, proclaiming loudly, "Disciple Xiao Yan shares Master's sentiments!"
The two then signed a contract.
The moment the contract was completed, two golden rays flew out from the contract and entered Yao Lao's remnant soul and Xiao Yan's brow respectively.
The two felt an invisible mark appear in their minds, neither painful nor obstructive, yet clearly indicating that the contract had been formed.
"Very good." Xu Qing turned and walked to the corpse in the corner, raising his hand to press on the corpse's forehead.
Yu Yi's crimson-gold flames spread from his palm, flowing like water across every inch of the corpse's skin.
The once dormant physical body slowly began to glow, and golden liquid seemed to flow slowly through its blood vessels, quietly awakening a terrifying, dormant power.
The remnant soul of the old physician hovered in mid-air, looking at the gradually "coming to life" body, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement: "This...this is..."
"The primal power contained in the physical body of a Realm Lord is extremely strong and directly compatible. Even if you are unharmed in the Pavilion of All Heavens, your soul will still be crushed to pieces when you return to the Dou Qi Continent."
Xu Qing didn't even turn his head; a beam of green light flew out from his palm.
"I will refine this body, draw your remnant soul into it, and allow you to achieve unity of spirit and flesh."
The old doctor quickly composed himself, and his remnant soul transformed into a pale purple stream of light, slowly drifting towards the top of the corpse's head along the blue light emanating from Xu Qing's palm.
Subsequently, Xu Qing infused Yao Lao's soul with the psychic power of the Douluo Universe and the primordial energy of the Swallowed Star, making his soul more complete and powerful.
The process went more smoothly than I had imagined.
Yao Lao felt an overwhelming force surge into his soul, and his previously somewhat illusory soul body became solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As Xu Qing refined the corpse with his flames, it gradually changed its appearance, transforming into the form of Yao Lao's soul.
The next moment, when the soul touched the body, it was like a drop of water flowing into a river or sea, without the slightest repulsion.
Xu Qing refined the compatibility between Yao Lao's soul and this physical body to the extreme, making it seem as if it were Yao Lao's body in life.
Of course, the old doctor could clearly sense that the terrifying power within that body was far beyond what his physical body could match.
"Hmm—."
Finally, with a low groan, the body slowly opened its eyes.
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes at first, but it was quickly replaced by ecstasy and shock.
He raised his hand and looked at his palm. It was a pair of palms full of power, no longer an ethereal soul, but real and tangible flesh and blood.
"I—I really—"
Yao Lao, no, he should be called Yao Chen now. He now has a younger appearance than he used to, like a twenty-year-old youth.
Yao Chen slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within his body: "This power—truly surpasses that of a Dou Sheng, it might even be—"
He didn't say anything more, but the immense power hidden deep within his body made him truly understand the weight of the words "Peak Realm Lord".
Before absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and before filling the body with battle qi, one already possesses such power. What kind of physical body is this?
