Chapter 119: Ice and Fire Refined Golden Body! Master, are you trying to play me to death?

"Ah—!!!"

Even the heavy palace doors of Yunjin Palace could not block this Soul-stirring, bone-chilling scream.

Gu Lan at this moment was curled up on the cold jade bed like a boiled shrimp, trembling violently all over. Sweat formed into ice shards as soon as it emerged, only to be evaporated into white mist by the high temperature on the surface of the body the next second.

This feeling was as if he had been thrown into Taishang Laojun's Eight Trigrams Furnace to be refined for forty-nine days, and then directly thrown into an eternal ice cave to be frozen into an icicle.

"What are you howling for?"

Master Su Yunjin's slender jade hand was still pressed against his Dantian, continuously delivering the extremely cold Profound Yin Spiritual Qi.

Her other hand was not idle either; holding a silk handkerchief, she leisurely helped Gu Lan wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, a playful smile hanging on the corners of her mouth.

"Weren't you quite tough when you were kissing the demon sect enchantress just now?"

"How is it? Now that you've reached your Master's place, you can't even endure this bit of 'small wind and waves'?"

"Master… How can this be considered a small wind and waves…"

Gu Lan's teeth were chattering, and his speech carried a trembling tone.

"You are practically taking apart your Disciple's internal organs to reinstall them…"

"It hurts… It hurts too much… Lighten up…"

"It's right that it hurts."

Master Su Yunjin's gaze narrowed, and her palm suddenly pressed downward.

"Without destruction, there is no construction!"

"The corpse poison in that corpse core has already seeped into your bone marrow. If we don't scrape the bone to cure the poison and force it out with extreme cold Qi, you will be a half-human, half-corpse monster in the future!"

"Bear with it for your Master!"

Boom!

As her palm pressed down, the two strange flames within Gu Lan's body seemed to feel provoked, automatically protecting their Master and erupting with an even more violent heatwave, attempting to resist the invading cold Qi.

Two completely opposing forces used Gu Lan's Physical Body as a battlefield, engaging in a life-or-death struggle.

"Mmm…"

Gu Lan bit his lip tightly, fresh blood overflowing, yet he stubbornly made not a sound.

He could clearly feel that under the scouring of these two forces, his Meridians were constantly fracturing, and then rapidly reorganizing under the nourishment of some mysterious power.

With every reorganization, the Meridians would become broader and tougher, exuding a faint golden light.

And the black corpse poison lurking deep within was also forced bit by bit to the surface of the body.

How much time had passed, he did not know.

"Pfft!"

Gu Lan suddenly sat up, opened his mouth and spat out a foul-smelling black blood.

That black blood landed on the ground beside the cold jade bed, instantly corroding a large pit into the hard jade stone, emitting sizzling black smoke.

"Hoo… Hoo…"

After spitting out this mouthful of toxic blood, Gu Lan felt as if he had collapsed from exhaustion, falling heavily back onto the bed.

But strangely.

The original tearing pain had disappeared.

Replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and clarity.

The circulation speed of true essence within his body was twice as fast as before, and the Half-step Golden Core Realm, which was somewhat drifting previously, had now completely stabilized at this moment, and even the illusory prototype of the Golden Core had become more solid and rounded.

"This…"

Gu Lan clenched his fists, feeling that the current him could punch ten of his former self to death!

"Many thanks to Master for the grace of rebirth!"

Although Gu Lan had little strength, he still struggled to salute.

"Alright, don't move around blindly."

Master Su Yunjin pressed down on his shoulders, pushing him back onto the bed.

At this moment, Master Su Yunjin's complexion was also slightly pale; obviously, the previous operation had consumed quite a lot for her.

She leaned lazily against the head of the bed, her beautiful legs casually resting on Gu Lan's legs, not caring at all how ambiguous this posture was.

"The poison has been thoroughly expelled."

"However, your Master's spiritual power has consumed quite a bit."

She extended a jade foot, gently kicking Gu Lan's calf, her eyes carrying a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Good Disciple, tell me… how should you compensate your Master?"

Gu Lan looked at the charming and alluring Master before him.

Her purple-gold long dress was somewhat disheveled due to the spellcasting just now, and the collar was slightly open, revealing a breathtaking patch of snow-white skin.

He swallowed his saliva, asking tentatively:

"Um… Shall this Disciple make you something delicious?"

"Vulgar."

Master Su Yunjin pouted.

"Then… shall this Disciple go bring all the Spirit Stones of Nuanxiang Pavilion to honor you?"

"Does your Master lack that bit of money?"

Master Su Yunjin gave him an eye roll, then pointed to her slightly sore shoulders.

"Just now, to help you suppress the strange flames, your Master's shoulders are extremely sore."

"Weren't you hailed as the 'Number One Technician of Nuanxiang Pavilion'?"

"Come over and give your Master a massage."

"Order received!"

Gu Lan understood in a second, instantly perking up.

He crawled up from the bed, edged behind Master Su Yunjin, and skillfully placed his hands on her rounded, fragrant shoulders.

"Master, is this strength of yours alright?"

While massaging, Gu Lan inputted a trace of gentle fire spiritual power to help her soothe her Meridians.

"Mmm… It barely passes."

Master Su Yunjin closed her eyes comfortably, emitting a soft hum like a cat.

"A bit lower… Yes, right there…"

Gu Lan's fingers slowly slid down along her spine, feeling the delicate touch coming from his fingertips, his heartbeat accelerating somewhat.

How could this be a massage?

This was simply testing a cadre's composure!

"Master."

While massaging, Gu Lan made conversation out of nothing, attempting to distract himself.

"After this Breakthrough, can this Disciple… learn some powerful Divine Abilities?"

"For example, the advanced version of your 'Red Lotus Karmic Fire'?"

"Want to learn?"

Master Su Yunjin opened one eye, casting a sideways glance at him.

"He who grasps too much loses all."

"You currently possess two strange flames, Green Lotus Core Flame and Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Although their power is immense, if you cannot control them well, you could blow up the Pill Furnace at any time."

"When you can perfectly fuse these two flames into a 'two-colored fire lotus', then go think about other things."

Having said that, she seemed to remember something, pulled a crimson Jade Slip from her sleeve, and tossed it casually to Gu Lan.

"However, you made a great contribution this time, so you cannot be without a reward."

"This is an Incomplete Manual of the Burning Heaven Sword Art that your Master obtained in an ancient ruin in her early years."

"Although there are only the first three forms, coupled with the burning heaven broken sword in your hand and the strange flames, the power is enough to let you walk sideways in the Early Golden Core Stage."

"Take it and practice."

Gu Lan took the Jade Slip, treating it like a treasured find.

"Many thanks, Master!"

"Alright, the massage is about enough."

Master Su Yunjin stretched lazily, her perfect curves fully revealed.

She waved her hand, starting to chase people away.

"Scram quickly now."

"Go back and properly consolidate your cultivation, don't mess around with those girls all day."

"And also…"

She suddenly sat up, leaned close to Gu Lan's ear, and said in a haunting tone:

"If you dare to come see me with the scent of another woman on you next time…"

"Your Master will throw you into the Pill Furnace to 'wash' you well."

"Did you hear?"

Gu Lan only felt a chill on his back; that was the desire to survive from the depths of his Soul.

"Heard… heard it!"

"This Disciple takes his leave!"

Having spoken, he hugged the Jade Slip and bolted out of Yunjin Palace in a flash, as if a dog were chasing behind him.

Watching his fleeing, panicked back.

Master Su Yunjin hooked a gentle smile at the corners of her mouth, lowering her head to glance at her shoulders that had been massaged so comfortably.

"This kid's craftsmanship is indeed quite good."

"It's just that… his courage is still a bit lacking."
