The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

The monsters of the Fire Clan are most likely born to be working saints. They never feel tired or exhausted. Every day they fight in the Fire Clan's territory as if they were injected with chicken blood. The sound of the battle is deafening, and Hu Xingtong has not been able to sleep well for a single day.

Fortunately, he had something to do today. Early in the morning, Hu Xingtong was no longer in a bad mood and just sat in a daze beside the magma. Perhaps because he had stayed near the magma for too long, he didn't feel hot anymore. Looking at the rolling and bubbling magma, he felt calm.

[Why don't you go down and temper your body? You have nothing else to do.]

"I don't really want to. Yu Chi said earlier that she would take us to take a bath here. If I take a bath now, it would be a bit too hasty. What if she makes it more difficult out of pleasure?"

[You're kind of showing signs of giving up now.] Chen Wu said in a sullen tone, not sounding very happy.

Hu Xingtong didn't care and just sat by the lava in a daze, looking at the bubbling lava, wondering what he was thinking.

At that moment, a sudden force struck Hu Xingtong from behind, catching her off guard. She felt a massive force thrust her into the seemingly calm yet surging lava. Before she could even scream, she was completely submerged in the fiery red liquid. The heat instantly enveloped her, and the pain surged like a tide, nearly suffocating her.

This sudden change was none other than Yu Chi's doing. She had quietly approached him, a strange glint in her eyes, as if she were both anticipating and amused by Hu Xingtong's reaction. "Since you're thinking this way, why don't I help you? After all, the Fire Tribe's trials won't give you a second chance. Now that you're here, go down and soak in the lava bath."

Hu Xingtong struggled in the magma. Every second felt like being pierced by thousands of needles. The pain almost made her lose consciousness. She didn't know why, but she couldn't release her spiritual power at all. The feeling at this moment was even more painful than when she absorbed the two kinds of strange fire that day.

Chen Wu's voice echoed deep within his consciousness, with an unquestionable tone: [Concentrate. I will disperse the medicinal power of the Body Tempering Pill into your body. Your spiritual power has been sealed by Yu Chi. Pay attention to using your spiritual sense to guide the medicinal power.]

Hu Xingtong languished in the magma, Chen Wu's instructions echoing in her ears. Her instinct for survival forced her to focus her scattered consciousness with all her might, as if searching for a glimmer of light amidst endless darkness. As Chen Wu finished speaking, a violent and powerful force surged from somewhere within her body. It was the power of the Body Tempering Pill. Under Chen Wu's control, it seeped through her limbs like a trickle of water, slowly seeping into her bones.

The medicinal power brought Hu Xingtong a sense of unprecedented relief. Although the scorching heat of the magma persisted, and the burning sensation threatened to consume her flesh, the pain gradually subsided as the medicinal power gradually took hold. Following Chen Wu's guidance, she used her consciousness to guide the medicinal power bit by bit, allowing it to circulate through her body. Each flow seemed to repair her damaged meridians and strengthen her body.

When he had no spiritual power, Hu Xingtong could only feel the burning sensation of the magma on his flesh. His flesh and blood melted in the boiling magma. In just a few minutes, there was no intact flesh on his body. Hu Xingtong was hanging on to his last bit of spiritual energy, and not even a single bone in his body was intact.

After using three Body Tempering Pills in a row, Hu Xingtong was already unconscious from the pain. His body was burning and recovering repeatedly, and his spirit was constantly tortured in between.

ashore……

"Senior, is Xingtong really okay like this?" Sun Ze looked at the person who was almost burned to death in the lava with heartache, and questioned the woman standing beside him with a hint of complaint in his tone.

"A useless person without motivation should endure this kind of torture. She is different from you. Her fate is only life and death. She can either stand on the commanding heights, above everyone else, or be scattered in the dust, becoming a speck of dust that no one remembers."

"You've been too kind to her, so kind that she's become too comfortable and almost forgotten the purpose of her coming here."

"Okay, stop looking at me. Go over there with that guy who plays with thunder, and bring your two remaining sisters with you. I can't favor one over the other, right?" Yu Chi turned and looked at Sun Ze, his eyes full of mockery and ridicule.

Sun Ze looked at the person struggling in the lava, pursed his lips, and said nothing. After a long time, he turned around and left.

Perhaps it was because Hu Xingtong herself possessed a strange fire, her acceptance of magma became higher and higher, and she gradually regained a bit of consciousness. She even heard some calls from somewhere in a trance: Xingxing, wake up, cheer up quickly, we are still waiting for you to come home for dinner.

"Sister, it hurts..."

"Xingxing, hold on..."

Hu Xingtong slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with red light at some point, as if magma had seeped into his eyeballs. Only a hint of red light could be seen, and even the scanning eye could not be used.

I can't die here! Perhaps it was the cry of the voice just now that worked, or perhaps it was Hu Xingtong's hidden desire to survive that was at work. She began to try to communicate with the fire element in the magma.

The difference between cultivators is probably that even if the body is worn away, the soul will still exist. As long as the power of consciousness and spiritual bones are still there, they can condense a physical body.

Hu Xingtong recalled the magical powers Si Xu had taught her. It seemed that both of those powers were related to the fire element. If possible, practicing them would probably help. With this thought in mind, she began to actively absorb the fire element, transforming it into her own strength. A faint glow of fire began to appear on her body, a sign that the fire element had merged with her body and that her body tempering had begun.

As time passed, Hu Xingtong's body gradually adapted to the temperature of the magma and gradually took shape.

When Hu Xingtong finally broke out of the lava, she was no longer the same as before. Her whole body exuded a faint tooth-colored glow. The torture all day long had finally worn away her childishness. Her eyes became deeper, and her temperament revealed an indescribable melancholy.

Hu Xingtong saw the changes in her body. She took out a clean robe from the system backpack and put it on. She glanced at the magma behind her. The tempering in the magma made every inch of Hu Xingtong's skin and every bone undergo a rebirth-like transformation. However, this was just the beginning. She had only adapted to the temperature of the magma surface. She needed to go deeper and take a look at the magma below. She had come this far, so she should continue to take a look.

Seeing this, Yu Chi on the side raised a satisfied smile: "Not bad, it seems that this trip is still fruitful."

Hu Xingtong looked back at her, his eyes showing no emotion, he looked at her face calmly: "Why are you doing this?"

Yu Chi smiled lightly, his eyes flickering with some emotions that Hu Xingtong couldn't understand: "Because only those who have experienced despair and rebirth are qualified to become truly strong. You can't continue to grow under the protection of others, otherwise you will never be able to challenge anyone." As he spoke, Yu Chi pointed to the sky above. Dull thunder rumbled from the sky above, followed by a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bowl falling from above, landing at the feet of the two. The rocks under their feet were split black and smoking, but Yu Chi still smiled: "I'll tell you what happened. I can't just watch and do nothing."

Hu Xingtong was puzzled but seemed to understand something. Even without Chen Wu saying anything, she understood a lot of things. She didn't want Yu Chi to turn around and leave because of her arrogant words.

[Where are you going?] Hu Xingtong always made Chen Wu feel unfamiliar at this moment. Although she didn't remind her when Yu Chi pushed her, she just wanted Hu Xingtong to experience the difficulties of cultivating immortals and wanted her to stop being so bad. In this regard, she was indeed wrong, but she didn't want this incident to affect their relationship.
