CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 153: THE NAME OF THIS CHILD IS FENGHUA, THE FENGHUA FROM UNPARALLELED ELEGANCE.

My life is over!

The Life Defying Blood Body instinctively felt panic. The White Tiger in front of it could shatter it with a casual slap. Under normal circumstances, it could actively dissipate its body into a mist of blood and return to its original form. But now, being so far from Wen Zhixing, this blood mist would likely be devoured clean by the White Tiger before it could get back.

[Fortune Fragment detected. Would you like to spend a month of life-span to randomly collect it?]

The Life Defying Blood Body was sensible. Feeling that it could not survive, it chose to collect Fortune Fragments in its final moments.

[White Fortune Fragment +1, current White Fortune Fragments: 3/2.]

[Blue Fortune Fragment +1, current Blue Fortune Fragments: 1/3.]

[Purple Fortune Fragment +1, current Purple Fortune Fragments: 4/4.]

[Golden Fortune Fragment +1, current Golden Fortune Fragments: 1/5.]

Four draws in a row. It actually hit the complete set of white, blue, purple, and golden. This was an astounding gain. It wasn’t just impressive for the Life Defying Blood Body; even Wen Zhixing himself had only ever drawn such rewards from Wang Shouzhen. This wasn’t because the Life Defying Blood Body’s luck had skyrocketed. It was because the White Tiger had too many high-level Fortune Fragments on it, so the probability of drawing them was naturally much higher.

Come on then, finish me off.

After drawing the four Fortune Fragments, the Life Defying Blood Body, content and satisfied, simply closed its eyes. Now, it could die with no regrets.

"AOOWU!"

However, the White Tiger didn’t seem to want to kill the Life Defying Blood Body. It carefully lifted the Life Defying Blood Body with its paw.

"ABBA?"

The Life Defying Blood Body cracked open its eyes slightly.

"AOOWU..."

The White Tiger started to release its goodwill, the halo around its body radiating a holy aura as it began to heal it.

"ABBA..."

The Life Defying Blood Body immediately felt a gentle power flooding into its body. The quality of this power seemed extremely high, and it didn’t seem like Spiritual Qi, nor like Divine Consciousness Power. Its bodily condition began to quickly recover.

The Life Defying Blood Body breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it had saved its dog’s life.

"ABBA?" the Life Defying Blood Body spoke, somewhat curious.

"AOOWU." The White Tiger gently waved its paw, as if a little embarrassed.

"ABABAH..." But the Life Defying Blood Body nodded, then stood up and waved its hand magnanimously.

The White Tiger was also very happy upon hearing this.

"AOOWU!"

"ABBA ABBA... YIYA..."

"AOOWU... WUWU..."

"YIYA..."

"AOOWU..."

The two began a dialogue. Although it was unclear what they were communicating, they were clearly engaged in conversation. Sitting face to face, inexplicable laughter sprang forth.

A moment later, following a series of gestures from the Life Defying Blood Body, the little White Tiger nodded with understanding.

Its "AOOWU!" was clear: You are looking for someone, right? Understood. I’ll take you to find them.

"ABBA!"

The Life Defying Blood Body, excited, flipped over and leaped onto the White Tiger’s back. The White Tiger twitched slightly, seeming a bit uncomfortable, but did not refuse. The halo on its body glowed faintly, and soon their figures turned illusory and finally disappeared altogether.

「Another night went by.」

Inside the Refining Artifact Hall, Wen Zhixing sat cross-legged, fully engrossed in comprehension.

[After your arduous cultivation, your Puppet Skill has officially entered the introductory level.]

[After your arduous cultivation, you have stepped into the Second Realm of the refining path: Glimpsing the Threshold.]

Finally, panel prompts began to pop up in succession. Everything was accomplished.

Wen Zhixing slowly opened his eyes. He had grasped it.

However, I still need actual combat experience. This refining path, without going through actual combat, is ultimately just theorizing.

Wen Zhixing was very clear about this in his heart: what he had accomplished so far was merely preparatory work, and there were still many things to do.

Why not try it...

Wen Zhixing’s mind stirred, wanting to practice on the spot. However, he began to frown as soon as he prepared to start. He had the cauldron at hand, but he lacked the proper flame to activate it. This Refining Artifact Hall originally had a flame array method, but it was all damaged now.

Inside the Purgatory Furnace, there was indeed a Spirit Flame. The issue was that this Spirit Flame was too mighty. With Wen Zhixing’s strength, he obviously couldn’t control it yet; common materials would probably just melt away when put inside. In that case, refining would be pointless.

Forget it, I’ll head back for now, Wen Zhixing shook his head.

Eh? Where’s the Life Defying Blood Body? Wen Zhixing suddenly remembered. The Life Defying Blood Body had not yet returned.

Did it go off to play on its own?

Wen Zhixing closed his eyes to sense its presence. After all, the Life Defying Blood Body wasn’t a standard clone; their connection wasn’t that strong. Wen Zhixing could only just manage to sense the Life Defying Blood Body’s location and condition.

The location is... inside the Wonderous Palace, huh? Still moving...

After sensing for a while, he put his mind at ease; there were no problems. Thinking so, Wen Zhixing didn’t directly dissipate it from afar. After all, Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli were in closed-door cultivation, and most people were also healing. He decided to let the Life Defying Blood Body wander for a while if it wished. He was quite open-minded.

Wait a minute, what is this...

Suddenly, Wen Zhixing saw the Fortune Fragments gained over the past two days. The previous Fortune Fragments were normal: three gray and one white. This suited the Life Defying Blood Body’s usual luck. But afterwards, there were unexpectedly purple and golden Fortune Fragments. This was a bit unscientific.

That shouldn’t be, Wen Zhixing was astonished. The Life Defying Blood Body had that kind of luck? This was truly an unexpected, pleasant surprise.

"Well done, my treasure!" Wen Zhixing couldn’t help but cheer for the Life Defying Blood Body. Then without hesitation, he directly began to unlock the White Fortune.
