'These options seem quite good this time.'
Looking at the three options, Xiao Ming's face showed a smile.
Since the simulation where he obtained the Pill Soul Serum, it had been rare to come across simulations where every option had value to him.
The Sky Demon Puppet was at the level of a five-star Dou Venerate, and selecting it was like having another Dou Venerate-level bodyguard.
The two-colored eighth-tier pill, "Ice-Clear Jade Nourishing Pill", was a good thing that could make people look forever young, and it also had the effect of removing impurities from the body and increasing its potential.
As for the Spirit Nourishment Powder Refining Method, it was even more valuable. The Spirit Nourishment Powder had the unique ability to merge with the soul and nourish it, thereby gradually increasing the spiritual energy within. With this powder, Xiao Ming's cultivation in the Spirit Realm would be expedited, and he could also help Xiao Yi Xian and others to quickly enter the Spirit Realm.
However, Xiao Ming had some worries. The Spirit Nourishment Powder Refining Method was an ancient technique after all, and the medicinal materials required to refine it might have gone extinct or something.
'Simulator, select the Spirit Nourishment Powder Refining Method.' After thinking about it, Xiao Ming finally felt that this was the most attractive option. As for the Sky Demon Puppet, its demand was not that great after Yao Tian Huo's resurrection.
As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, a white scroll appeared in front of him as usual. Before it could land on the ground, he reached out and grabbed it.
The moment he received the scroll, Xiao Ming infused his soul power into it. After a moment, he opened his eyes.
'I was too worried before. The materials needed to refine the Spirit Nourishment Powder have not yet gone extinct; they are just rare.' Xiao Ming muttered to himself; this was good news for him.
Xiao Ming continued to contemplate the contents of the simulation while storing the Spirit Nourishment Powder Refining Method in his Star Ring.
'Will Xian'er be wanted and injured?' Xiao Ming furrowed his brows.
Being wanted was not surprising, as the Woeful Poison Body was infamous in the Dou Qi Continent. Whenever it erupted, the surrounding area of thousands of miles would become a disaster, affecting others. Therefore, once the Woeful Poison Body appeared, it was possible to be besieged and expelled by some forces.
However, Xiao Yi Xian was already an eight-star Dou Ancestor at that time. Although there were many hidden forces in Central Plains, few would actually put a bounty on and hurt an eight-star Dou Ancestor. At most, they would just expel her.
The only force that would do so was the Ice River Valley.
'They really never change,' Xiao Ming thought, his eyes flashing with a hint of killing intent. He was resolved that if the Ice River Valley caused even the slightest harm to Xiao Yi Xian, he would seize any opportunity to annihilate them. And he would not wait too long for this chance to come.
After sorting out his partner's affairs, Xiao Ming remembered Zi Yan's Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. This thing was located in the Dou Saint Ruins, which was buried in the Beast Bone Mountain Range of the Beast Region. It was still unknown how many years it would take for the Dou Saint Ruins to appear naturally again.
He himself in the simulator could not wait that long, so he directly brought people to trigger the ruins in the Beast Bone Mountain Range. This gave Xiao Ming an idea.
'Since I can trigger it early in the simulator, it should be possible to trigger it early in reality too. I remember there is a forest made up of ancient herbs in that secret realm. If I can obtain it, the process of refining the Spirit Nourishment Powder can be accelerated.'
Although the herbs needed for the Spirit Nourishment Powder were not extinct, they were definitely not easy to find, much harder than the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill.
'However, when to trigger it still needs to be carefully considered. I also need to improve my strength a bit more before going,' Xiao Ming thought to himself.
After saying this, he glanced at the body that was being burned by the Heavenly Flame and didn't keep thinking much about it.
...
The burning of the Heavenly Flame lasted for two full days, yet the flames that surrounded the body did not dissipate. However, the pain on the face of the body gradually subsided, perhaps due to numbness. Moreover, a hidden and vast aura was brewing within the body.
At night, the White Glazed Heart Flame left by Xiao Ming on the corpse suddenly trembled and quickly extinguished. At the same time, the eyes of the corpse blinked, and the vitality within them quickly grew stronger.
Then, with a snap, the body fell steadily to the ground.
Sensing the movement, Xiao Ming on the bed opened his eyes and looked towards the body.
"Congratulations on your rebirth, Senior Yao," he said.
Venerable Tian Huo slightly twisted his arm. He had just merged with this body and still felt a little unfamiliar. However, the feeling of having a physical body was too wonderful. He looked at Xiao Ming, who was standing up and walking towards him, and said with a joyful smile, "Hahaha, I owe it all to you! If it weren't for you, this old man might have vanished long ago, not to mention being resurrected."
Xiao Ming smiled, pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior Yao, you should still be adapting to this body, right?"
Venerable Tian Huo nodded slightly. Although he now had a physical body, he had not yet truly reached the strength of a true Dou Venerate. He needed to familiarize himself with this body before he could be called a true Dou Venerate.
"I need seven days to adapt. After that, my strength can be restored to the level of a three-star Dou Venerate. Although it is still a bit far from my peak strength as a five-star Dou Venerate, it is not bad."
Yao Tian Huo's recovered strength was somewhat unexpected. It should be noted that in the original story, he had only just managed to recover to the level of a one-star Dou Venerate
However, at that time, Xiao Yan had only provided him with Yun Shan's corpse and an intermediate seventh-tier pill, "Yin Yang Life Soul Pill", so it was understandable that Yao Tian Huo had only reached the level of one-star Dou Venerate.
Now, Xiao Ming has provided him with a stronger physical body and a two-colored eighth-tier pill, so Yao Tian Huo has been able to recover to the level of a three-star Dou Venerate.
If Xiao Ming had used the body of a Dou Venerate expert, Yao Tian Huo might have been able to recover even better, perhaps even directly to the level of a five-star Dou Venerate. Unfortunately, he didn't have access to such a corpse.
"Three-star Dou Venerate? After taking the Fungus Green Pill, I wonder if you can recover to the level of a five-star Dou Venerate."
A five-star Dou Venerate was essentially invincible in the current Central Plains.
"Five-star Dou Venerate? I hope so." Yao Tian Huo heard Xiao Ming's voice and his face was also eager. If he could recover directly, it would save him several years of hard work.
Xiao Ming took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. Inside the bottle was a deep blue pill that exuded strong spiritual energy.
"This is the Fungus Green Pill," Xiao Ming said as he tossed the jade bottle to Yao Tian Huo.
The latter's face instantly lit up with excitement. Without saying much, he grabbed the pill and rushed out of the room.
"Xiao Ming, I'll go back to my room first. Call me out when you're ready to leave," said Venerable Tian Huo before leaving the room.
'These options seem quite good this time.'
Looking at the three options, Xiao Ming's face showed a smile.
