At this mont.
Xu Binghu had completely transford into a balloon, floating five ters above the ground.
anwhile, his face began to change, various Demon Beast features appeared.
Wolves, tigers and leopards, poisonous snakes, monkeys, giant bears, fish demons...
With each Demon Beast appearance, a corresponding beast’s cry emanated from Xu Binghu’s mouth.
For a mont, the Xu Family courtyard resembled a zoo, filled with the calls of various Demon Beasts.
"Binghu’s face changing like this, will it end up stuck as a Demon Beast and not revert back?" Qi Lao said worriedly.
Nobody knew when the rumor started in the village, that once a person’s face transford into that of a Demon Beast, it would not change back, and the person’s body and limbs would slowly transform until they completely beca animals.
Such legends were usually used to frighten children into going to bed early, but unexpectedly, they witnessed it here.
Xu Ran said nothing, casting a glance at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai understood intuitively and raised its head. "Screech—"
A piercing cry echoed throughout the Great Wilderness Border Village, reaching deep into the Great Mountain.
The forests in the Great Mountain trembled, countless birds appeared in the dark sky, as if frightened.
Simultaneously, Xu Binghu’s constantly changing face vanished instantly with Xiaobai’s cry, returning to normal.
As the Demon Beast faces vanished, Xu Binghu’s body gradually returned to its normal state, until he was back in the cauldron.
Thus, Xu Binghu’s third Body Refining process ended.
Afterward, Xu Binghu opened his eyes, his previously murky eyes now appeared exceptionally bright in the darkness, as if they were new.
"My eyes, I can see much clearer in the night." Xu Binghu said slowly as he stepped out of the cauldron.
At the mont he erged, everyone quickly covered their noses.
"Dad, you sll so terrible." Xu Ran said.
Lian Ji, "Mm, indeed very slly."
Hearing his son and wife’s words, he sniffed himself, "Ugh—"
"It truly is stinky!!!"
Even he couldn’t stand it, and there was a layer of black substance on his body.
"After the third Body Refining, the impurities within the body are expelled, and the stench is the odor of these impurities."
The black stuff on the body is also impurities.
Xu Ran explained to everyone.
Lian Ji urged, "Enough with the explanations, husband, go have a bath first, it’s too slly."
Xu Binghu scratched his head, "I’m going to bathe first."
With that, Xu Binghu imdiately went to bathe.
Soon, Xu Binghu ca out, feeling refreshed, and everyone had returned to their rooms.
Under the candlelight, Xu Binghu’s skin visibly improved.
Lian Ji approached, touched it with her hand, and enviously said, "Husband, your skin seems even more delicate than mine now."
"Really?" Xu Binghu was sowhat surprised.
Xu Ran, "Expelling the body’s impurities achieves this effect."
Qi Lao, "Binghu, tell us, after the third Body Refining, what changes occurred in your body?"
For them, this was of utmost importance.
Xu Binghu clenched his fist, feeling it well, and said, "After the third Body Refining, I feel like I have acquired so traits of a Demon Beast."
"Traits of a Demon Beast?" Qi Lao was puzzled.
"Yes." Xu Binghu nodded, "In the darkness, I see more clearly, and I can sense that I can hold my breath underwater for a whole hour."
As soon as he said this, everyone’s mouths dropped in disbelief.
They rembered clearly, in the demon blood Xu Binghu used for Body Refining, there was indeed Beast Blood from a fish demon.
"Does it an, using the Demon Beast Heart Blood for Body Refining grants similar abilities?" Qi Lao speculated.
Xu Binghu nodded, "It’s possible!"
Everyone turned their gaze towards Xu Ran, for perhaps he alone knew the truth.
"As is commonly known, Body Refining enhances a person’s physique and strength, causing a transformative change."
"Body Refining requires the Heart Blood of animals or Demon Beasts, and Heart Blood, whether from animals or humans, essentially contains all of its inherent strength."
"Body Refining is, in fact, about releasing all the power in Heart Blood and extracting it."
"Using different Demon Beast Heart Blood for Body Refining can indeed grant certain special abilities, but this is a matter of luck, not every Body Refining will yield Demon Beast traits."
Xu Ran spoke with so surprise himself.
Even he hadn’t expected his own father could extract characteristics from the Beast Blood.
One must know, not even a strong practitioner at the Qi Refining Stage could hold their breath underwater for an hour; only those with special Divine Techniques could achieve this.
After hearing Xu Ran’s explanation, everyone looked at Xu Binghu with envy.
Xu Binghu also knew he had hit the jackpot, scratching his head, "Never thought I’d be this lucky."
"Strength, what about strength?" Qi Lao continued to ask.
Xu Binghu, "The increase in strength isn’t substantial, from 1000 jins to 1500 jins."
"The third Body Refining enhanced my physique. I feel my body is lighter, and if I exert force properly, running on walls won’t be a problem."
Running on walls!!
These four words resonated in everyone’s minds.
This was an ability everyone dread of; running on walls, sothing they never thought Xu Binghu would soon accomplish.
"With Binghu and Xiaoran around, the Great Wilderness Border Village, will surely prosper!!" Qi Lao was sowhat excited.
Xu Binghu then looked at Master Yang, "Master Yang, starting tomorrow, I will enter the Great Mountain to help your people from Cast Iron Village hunt Demon Beasts and collect Heart Blood. You should also prepare the cast iron materials."
