Chapter 358: Refining Begins

The strength and potential of the Heavenly Demon Puppet depends on the materials used in refining it. The gap between the materials cannot be too large, otherwise it will only fail. This thing is like a pill, and balance must be ensured.

Seeing that Xiao Yan refused to say anything, Yao Lao did not ask any more questions. After all, Xiao Yan's ability to predict the future was not new.

Xiao Yan took out a frozen corpse from the ring. The corpse looked extremely strange. The upper body was that of a human, the lower body was a scorpion's tail, and the hands were not human hands, but two huge scorpion pincers.

"This thing looks a bit ugly!" Xiao Yan looked at the corpse of Scorpion Bi Yan that he got from the Izumo Empire with some disgust. After all, if this thing was really refined, who knows what kind of monster it might be.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was somewhat disgusted, Yao Lao shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Although it is a bit ugly, it has also integrated all the blood essence of the Blood Demon Scorpion King. With a little refinement, it can be refined into a powerful Heavenly Demon Puppet. After all, the body of the demon beast has always been very powerful."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded. He naturally knew that the Heavenly Demon Puppet made with this body would definitely not be weaker than a five-star Dou Zong.

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers and a ball of black and white flame suddenly burst out from his fingertips and fell towards Xie Bi Yan's body. Under the scorching heat, the layer of ice that wrapped him melted instantly, and his clothes also dissipated and turned into nothingness.

As the strange fire continued to burn, wisps of faint black gas continued to float out of the corpse, and were immediately burned into nothingness by the strange fire.

When Xiao Yan cleared all the corpses, Xie Bi Yan's body also underwent a huge change, and it turned directly into a large blood-colored scorpion. After continuing to temper it for a while, he simply flicked his fingers, and a stream of energy burst out from his fingertips, making a small hole in the scorpion's head. Then he took out a seventh-level magic core from the ring and put it in, and continued to temper it with flames.

Time passed slowly. With the addition of the magic core, the aura emitted by the scorpion became stronger and stronger, until it reached a certain peak. When the aura no longer rose, Xiao Yan took out a small jade bottle from the ring, placed it in his palm, and directly wrapped it with the strange fire. The small jade bottle turned into ashes in an instant, and a black soul was exposed in front of Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, what exactly do you want?" The black soul slowly squirmed and finally turned into a human form. It looked at Xiao Yan with resentment on its face and said angrily.

"Haha, Iron Protector, why are you in such a hurry?" I'll let you go right now. Xiao Yan's lips curled up into a smile, and then the strange fire in his palm suddenly erupted, directly devouring the black soul.

"Ah!" A shrill howl sounded. The Iron Protector kept struggling in the flames, but it was still useless. In the end, the sound became smaller and smaller.

Xiao Yan continued to use the flame to forge it for a while, and after confirming that the Iron Protector had completely lost his mind, he gently threw the black gas through the small hole with his left hand and drilled into the scorpion's body;.

With the addition of the soul, the scorpion's eyes, which were originally closed, opened directly, but his eyes were empty and without any consciousness.

Looking at Scorpion's open eyes, Xiao Yan curled up a smile. Everything went smoothly. The remaining steps were very simple and required painstaking efforts.

He took out some rare metals from the ring and placed them in his palm, then began to calcine them. Under the terrifying high temperature of the Yin and Yang flames, these rare and exotic metals quickly melted.

After the metal was refined, Xiao Yan continued to temper his body with the strange fire, waiting for the perfect fusion of body, soul and magic core.

Time passed slowly without him noticing, Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly. Xiao Yan, who had already refined so many high-level elixirs, was already accustomed to this kind of thing.

Suddenly, the giant scorpion's body trembled violently, and the soul hovering in its head finally turned into countless light spots, densely scattered to every part of the body. When the soul merged with the body, the magic core that had been quietly staying between the eyebrows also gushed out violent energy, which spread to the giant scorpion's limbs and bones.

As the soul and the magic core merged, the originally light red body turned blood red, and the giant scorpion's size shrank again. Although its size had shrunk, the aura it exuded became even stronger.

“Good! This aura has already reached the level of a five-star Dou Zong.” Xiao Yan looked at the masterpiece in front of him, a smile forming on his lips.

However, Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something. Looking at the two large pincers of the giant scorpion, he became somewhat dissatisfied. It was obviously not appropriate to carry this thing on his body since it was a bit too big after all.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan directly took out a huge drill and a huge gear from the ring.

After tinkering with it for a while, Xiao Yan finally replaced the two large pliers with a drill and a gear respectively.

After taking another look at his masterpiece, Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then threw a ball of dark golden solution in his palm towards the giant scorpion.

"Swish!" As the high-temperature metal dripped onto the giant scorpion, white mist suddenly emanated from its surface and an unpleasant stench spread out, causing Xiao Yan to cover his nose involuntarily.

The dark golden solution continued to flow on the giant scorpion's body, constantly covering its body, while at the same time, the very smelly white mist also diffused from its body.

When the metal solution completely covered the giant scorpion's body, the originally blood-red surface turned dark red.

At this point, the refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet is basically completed. The next step is just to continue calcining. As for what level this Heavenly Demon Puppet can finally reach, Xiao Yan doesn't know, but it will not be lower than the bronze level.

According to the information about the Heavenly Demon Puppets recorded in the bamboo slips, the Heavenly Demon Puppets are divided into three grades, and the grade of the Heavenly Demon Puppets mainly depends on its color: Heaven is gold, Earth is silver, and Man is copper.

Under the burning of the strange fire, the dark gold solution began to slowly penetrate into the giant scorpion's skin. As the dark gold solution entered, the color of the puppet's surface began to change, from dark gold to dark blue.

Looking at the giant bronze scorpion, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. This is not to say that the level of this Heavenly Demon Puppet is human-level, but it cannot evolve into a Heavenly Demon Puppet in the future. It can only be at the Earth level, and its strength can only reach the peak of Dou Zong at most.

As the strange fire continued to burn, the giant scorpion's body began to change. Although the speed was a bit slow, its surface began to glow silver.

Looking at the faint silver light on the surface of the giant scorpion, a smile finally appeared on Xiao Yan's face. This meant that it was about to evolve into an Earth Demon Puppet.

The aura emanating from the giant scorpion's body became stronger and stronger, and the original dark green color completely disappeared, turning into silver-white.

When the silver light reached a peak, it suddenly stopped and slowly disappeared, and all the light penetrated into its body.

Xiao Yan looked at the silver puppet in front of him and felt inexplicably excited. After all, this was his masterpiece!
