534: Ice Marrow Holy Body

About half an hour later, the door to the private room was pushed open.

An aura mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance and the vicissitudes of time drifted out.

Entering was a gray-haired, stooped old woman.

Her gaze swept across, pausing slightly on Di Juetian with a flicker of indiscernible surprise, before finally landing on the dying Madam Liu.

"Is it her?" the old woman's voice was raspy.

"Yes, Granny Yao, please have a look," Jiang Hua said respectfully.

Granny Yao approached Madam Liu and placed her withered fingers on her wrist pulse.

A gentle yet incredibly pure spiritual sense probed into Madam Liu's body.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand, her brow furrowed: "The cold poison is heavily accumulated, deep into the bone marrow and internal organs, and entangled with the Divine Soul, nearly becoming one. Ordinary fire-attribute Medicinal Pills are too overbearing and would harm her, while mild ones would be ineffective."

"We need Earth Core Fire Marrow as the main ingredient, supplemented by thirteen Spirit Medicines such as Blazing Sun Grass and Dragon Blood Ginseng, to refine a Fire Seed Pill. Using the power of the fire seed to slowly calcine it, the cold poison can be pulled out by the roots."

"The medicinal materials... this Junior will go search for them immediately!"

Granny Yao waved her hand, her cloudy eyes suddenly looking sharply at Lin Wan, who was hiding behind Madam Liu, looking at her timidly yet curiously.

"Medicinal materials? Since this old woman has spoken, I have naturally prepared them."

"What?" Di Juetian was stunned.

Granny Yao ignored him; with a flicker of her body, she had actually appeared in front of Lin Wan.

Lin Wan cried out in fear and hid behind Di Juetian.

"Little girl, don't be afraid."

Granny Yao's voice softened slightly for once, and her withered finger pointed at Lin Wan from a distance.

Buzz!

A faint ice-blue light shot from her fingertip and entered Lin Wan's brow.

In the next moment, a sudden change occurred!

“Screech—!”

A clear and resonant cry of a Phoenix suddenly rang through the entire private room without warning!

Lin Wan's small body trembled violently, and an icy aura erupted!

Her eyes instantly turned ice-blue, and her hair moved without wind, each strand crystal clear, as if carved from the purest profound ice.

A foot-long, lifelike phantom of a Phoenix, composed entirely of deep blue ice crystals, flapped its wings and emerged from the top of her head!

The phantom circled, scattering bits of ice crystal dust. The temperature in the private room plummeted, the hot tea in the cups instantly froze into ice blocks, and the walls and floor were quickly covered with thick ice!

Powerful fluctuations of the ice Law spread like a tide!

"Ice Marrow Sacred Body! It really is the legendary Ice Marrow Sacred Body!"

Granny Yao's cloudy eyes burst with a terrifyingly bright light, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Body like ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow, soul containing the intent of the Primeval Ice Phoenix! Good! Good! Good! I have found it after searching far and wide!"

Di Juetian's pupils constricted, and he instantly understood Granny Yao's intention! She had probed Lin Wan for this!

He instinctively blocked the way in front of Lin Wan. Both were top-tier ice Physiques, but strictly speaking, his Extreme Cold Ice God Body was far above the Ice Marrow Sacred Body, because his was a God Body.

He could clearly feel the ice-attribute Origin potential within Lin Wan that had just been triggered, as vast as a sea of stars!

Once this potential fully Awakened, her future would be limitless!

Jiang Hua and Bing Xue also stood up abruptly, their eyes filled with shock. Bing Xue watched the circling Phoenix phantom, her cold eyes sparkling with brilliance.

"Senior..." Di Juetian spoke in a deep voice.

Granny Yao withdrew her finger, and the Phoenix phantom and the phenomena on Lin Wan's body slowly subsided. Lin Wan seemed to have exhausted her strength, falling softly into Madam Liu's arms and falling into a deep sleep, though a faint ice-blue Phoenix mark had appeared between her brows.

"Rest assured, this old woman is not so base as to snatch a child."

Granny Yao returned to her indifferent manner and glanced at Di Juetian.

"The Ice Marrow Sacred Body is a once-in-ten-thousand-years occurrence, a supreme Dao embryo for those who Cultivate ice-attribute Cultivation Techniques. Following you would be a waste of her talent. After her mother is cured, this girl will be taken away by me. The foundation of my Ice Palace is enough to ensure her safety and help her completely Awakening her Sacred Body."

Ice Palace! Di Juetian's heart jolted.

Granny Yao looked at the weak Madam Liu: "As for her illness... for the sake of this girl, this old woman will personally take action. I have the medicinal materials, and I will refine the pill."

She said no more and turned to walk toward the inner chamber. "Bring the person in."

Di Juetian looked at Lin Wan, who was sleeping in his arms with the Phoenix mark faintly visible between her brows, and then at Madam Liu, whose face was covered in tears and filled with hope. His thoughts raced.

Granny Yao's proposal was undoubtedly the best destination for Lin Wan. The Ice Palace could provide the best protection and instruction, which was a hundred times better than him taking them to hide everywhere.

He took a deep breath, picked up Lin Wan, supported Madam Liu, and followed Granny Yao into the inner chamber.

The inner chamber had been sealed with multiple Restrictions by Granny Yao with a wave of her hand, isolating all aura.

An entirely crimson Pill Furnace, emitting a scorching heat, floated in the center.

One by one, dazzling and astonishing medicinal materials were precisely thrown into the Pill Furnace.

"Earth Core Fire Marrow!" A fist-sized crystal, crimson as blood and appearing to have lava flowing inside, was thrown into the furnace.

"Blazing Sun Grass!" A Spiritual Plant that was gold and red throughout, with leaves dancing like flames.

"Dragon Blood Ginseng!" A ginseng shaped like a Dragon and surrounded by crimson mist.

The thirteen main and auxiliary medicinal materials were all treasures, making Di Juetian secretly click his tongue. This Granny Yao's foundation was truly unfathomable!

Boom!

After an unknown amount of time.

The lid of the Pill Furnace soared into the air!

Six crimson Medicinal Pills appeared before everyone, emitting a power of the blazing sun as vast as the sea!

"The Fire Seed Pill is complete!"

With a wave of Granny Yao's hand, the six pills flew into a jade bottle.

Di Juetian looked at the cold jade bottle, and a heavy stone finally fell from his heart. He bowed solemnly to Granny Yao: "Thank you for your great kindness, Senior!"

Granny Yao waved her hand, her gaze falling on the still-sleeping Lin Wan, her eyes showing a rare hint of warmth:

"Remember your promise. Once her mother is cured, this child will belong to my Ice Palace." She tossed the jade bottle to Di Juetian.

"One pill a day. After six days, the cold poison will be completely removed."

Outside the window, the cold wind of Frost Trace Province was still biting.

But in this small inner chamber, the flame of hope had already been lit.

Di Juetian looked at the pills in the bottle and then at the sleeping Lin Wan. A faint, almost imperceptible curve finally appeared at the corner of his cold mouth.

The journey to the Northern Region is fraught with danger, but to be able to save this mother and daughter and find a bright future for this little girl who possesses a peerless Sacred Body, it is all worth it.
