Chapter 595: Chapter 237: Body Refining Manual (Part 2)

Xu Ran pointed outside the ancestral hall and towards the village gate, saying, ”These snake demons, they are all Demon Beasts, which entirely fulfills the requirement for Demon Beast Heart Blood.”

”Furthermore, according to the Body Refining Manual, Snake Gall, when held in the mouth during the first time refining the body without biting it, can enhance the effect of body refining!”

”Now, we have the Demon Beast Heart Blood, and we also have the snake gall of the Demon Beast, so there’s no problem at all.”

Xu Ran’s words pulled them back to paradise once again, even the usually composed Elder Qi was gasping for air.

”Xu Ran, don’t gasp so heavily when you speak, this old man can’t take it!!!”

Old Xie echoed, ”Don’t just think of the old man, even I, a man in his prime, can’t take it!!”

The village burst into laughter.

”I have a question?”

Among the laughter, a voice sounded, and everyone looked over; it was Cui Hua, the matchmaker who had come to Great Wilderness Border Village to mediate a marriage.

”Matchmaker, what is your question?” Xu Binghu asked.

”Can someone who is not from Great Wilderness Border Village obtain the Body Refining Manual?”

Since arriving at Great Wilderness Border Village on the first day, Cui Hua had stayed and witnessed the whole poisonous snake village massacre, as well as the strength of Xu Ran and Xu Binghu.

If she could also refine her body, her status in Matchmaker Village would surely rise, possibly surpassing Aunt Mei.

So she also hoped to obtain the Body Refining Manual.

As soon as this question was raised, everyone looked to Xu Ran, as ultimately, it was his improvement, and the decision was his.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Ran said, ”Aunt Cui Hua, you did go through the poisonous snake village massacre with us, although it wasn’t voluntary.”

”So, Aunt Cui Hua, you will also receive a copy of the Body Refining Manual.”

Upon hearing this news, Cui Hua almost jumped up; the smile on her face was impossible to hide, as were the wrinkles, layer upon layer like a cloth rubbed thousands of times.

”However...” Xu Ran continued, ”Aunt Cui Hua, any village near the Great Mountain, if they want a marriage alliance, must first introduce our Great Wilderness Border Village.”

”Also, without our village’s consent, it should not be spread outside.”

These words made everyone in the village laugh.

This was good news for the entire village.

Cui Hua laughed, saying, ”This is a trivial thing; anyway, your Great Wilderness Border Village is already the most popular among all villages. All the girls from other villages are eager to marry into your village!!”

This request was no problem at all for Cui Hua.

Moreover, in Matchmaker Village, she was solitary; even if she could spread it, she wouldn’t know whom to spread it to.

Xu Ran nodded, saying, ”In that case, there is no problem.”

”In three days, here again, I will distribute the improved Body Refining Manual to everyone.”

”In these three days, collect the snake demons’ heart blood, snake gall, and snake bones outside the ancestral hall and at the village gate to prepare.”

Everyone raised their hands energetically, ”Okay!!!”

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji, who were watching from the side, couldn’t help but be amazed.

”I never thought that even though Xu Ran is only a year old, he has already become the backbone of Great Wilderness Border Village,” Xu Binghu said.

Lian Ji raised her head, saying, ”Of course, my son is a genius.”

”He’s also my son!! Haha!!”

Xu Ran’s words had already become an absolute command for the villagers of Great Wilderness Border Village. Everyone took small knives to cut open the dead poisonous snakes to extract the snake gall, snake blood, and snake bone, and collect them.

With hundreds of poisonous snakes, there were enough for everyone in Great Wilderness Border Village to have one each.

Xu Binghu also took the snake gall, snake blood, and snake bone from one of the poisonous snakes.

After all, he was going to do the body refining for the third time.

As for the entire body of the variant snake demon, he wanted to leave it all for Xu Ran and didn’t touch it.

Now that the materials were ready, and there were also the scales of the variant snake demon, which were extremely hard, if it wasn’t for Xiaobai’s overwhelming power, it might not have been killed.

”It’s time to make some armor for Xu Ran.”

Thinking of this, Xu Binghu came to Elder Qi and asked.

”Elder Qi, do you know anyone who can do Artifact Refining?” Xu Binghu asked.

”You want to refine artifacts?”

”Yes.” Xu Binghu nodded, ”I want to learn how, otherwise, facing Demon Beasts in the future, ordinary weapons will certainly be useless.”

Elder Qi nodded, ”Yes, you’re right. To make weapons that can threaten Demon Beasts, better materials are needed.”

”Better materials mean harder ones. The village’s blacksmiths can’t work with them until they’ve successfully refined their bodies at best!”

After thinking for a moment, Elder Qi said, ”I know one, a blacksmith from the neighboring village. His weapons are very sharp, almost meeting the requirements to fight Demon Beasts, but unfortunately, he’s not a Body Refiner.”

Xu Binghu asked, ”Elder Qi, can you introduce him? I want to learn.”

Elder Qi nodded, ”Of course, I once saved his life in the Great Mountain; this is a small matter.”

...

Soon, three days passed.

Early in the morning, villagers gathered together, each face filled with anticipation. Today was the day they would receive the Body Refining Manual, the most important day.

Xu Ran arrived as promised, distributing the improved Body Refining Manual to everyone.

”The manual contains insights from my father and me about body refining; I hope it will be of some help to you.”

Xu Ran’s words made everyone’s eyes redden.

Those are body refining insights, such precious experiences! The Xu father and son just handed them over!!

Everyone cupped their hands and bowed, sincerely saying, ”Thank you, Xu Family!!!”

Xu Ran waved his hand and then went home.

In the Xu Family’s yard, a pot had already been set up early, and inside were all sorts of Demon Beast heart blood, Beast Bone, and herbs.

All these things had been prepared by Xiaobai in the span of three days.

During these three days, Xu Ran had been improving the Body Refining Manual, so he had to leave this task to Xiaobai. Apart from the deepest Demon Beasts in the Great Mountain, no Demon Beast should threaten Xiaobai.

Furthermore, during these three days, Xu Binghu was also nowhere to be seen. He only said he was going out to handle some business and would come back with a surprise.

Thus, this time, Xu Ran was to conduct the body refining alone, of course, along with the whole village.

The villagers, upon receiving the Body Refining Manual, would undoubtedly go back to start their first body refining immediately.

On the day Xu Ran announced the improved Body Refining Manual, Elder Qi had already instructed every household to set up a pot in their yard, specifically for body refining.

Even before Xu Ran started, he could hear constant screams in his ears.

”Xu Ran, why do villagers refining their bodies cry out as intensely as your father does?” Lian Ji asked.

”That’s normal,” Xu Ran said.

”But you’re not like that!!” Lian Ji said.

Xu Ran shook his head, saying, ”Of course not, I am a genius.”

Then he instructed Xiaobai to toss all the materials into the pot.

Immediately, the pot emitted a snake demon aura. Through the pot’s opening, a vague shadow of a snake could be seen spiraling endlessly, ready to devour any fallen prey.

This is the variant snake demon, even after death, its heart blood retains residual power. To use its heart blood for body refining, one must endure its pressure; failing to do so will result in bursting to death.

But who is Xu Ran!

A possessor of an Innate Divine Body, a person reborn for the third time, a mere variant snake demon doesn’t even enter his eyes.

Xu Ran jumped directly into the pot.

Instantly, the shadow of the variant snake demon inside the pot began circling around him continuously. Meanwhile, black liquid emerged from the bottom of the pot, immersing into Xu Ran’s body and emitting a foul odor.

This stench was only noticeable to Xu Ran.

This was the pressure of the variant snake demon after its death. The black liquid was its venom from life; if Xu Ran couldn’t withstand the pressure, the black liquid seeping into his body would turn into real poison.

Even though it was perilous, for Xu Ran, it felt like soaking in a hot spring.
