Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 340 - Golden Body

Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Golden Body

Li Xiaoyao stood beside the coffin, his hand trembling as he reached toward the corpse’s face.

But as soon as his fingers touched the corpse, the body burst into flames like dry wood meeting fire, instantly turning into nothingness, leaving only a skeleton glowing with golden light.

The System’s voice rang out without warning.

“Golden Body detected, integrity: 30%, System can repurchase, the host may also merge with the Golden Body themselves.”

“Golden Body?” Staring at the skeleton radiating golden light, Li Xiaoyao licked his dry lips and asked, “System, how do I merge with it?”

“Kind reminder: Due to the host’s low cultivation level, forcibly merging with the Golden Body carries a certain chance of failure, which will lead to the host’s death, with only a sliver of consciousness remaining.”

“Damn it, is it that serious?” Li Xiaoyao was momentarily dumbfounded by the System.

“Kind reminder: The host can purchase Soul Guarding Pills from the System, which increases the chances of a successful merge.”

His mouth twitching, Li Xiaoyao knew the System was trying to sell something again. He wouldn’t be easily fooled and asked softly, “What are the odds?”

“3%.”

“Come on! System, are you messing with me?” Cursing fiercely, Li Xiaoyao calmed down.

Although he didn’t understand what a Golden Body was, the name alone felt impressive; it shouldn’t be trash.

Moreover, the letter had instructed him to retrieve the Golden Body, and it seemed that no matter what, he should merge with it.

Opening up the System, he found the Soul Guarding Pill, and the price made Li Xiaoyao wince in pain.

“Soul Guarding Pill: Fifth Grade Pill Medicine, helps cultivators defend their spiritual platform during breakthroughs, reducing physical sensitivity, making the breakthrough easier.”

“Price: 20 million Spirit Stones.”

A Fifth Grade Pill Medicine costing 20 million, Li Xiaoyao dared not imagine how terrifying the prices would be for Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade, or even higher-grade medicines.

The price was indeed a bit steep, but not unacceptable, and besides, Li Xiaoyao had no better option at the moment.

Even if 20 million could only raise the success rate by 3%, it was still better than nothing.

“Soul Guarding Pill purchase successful.”

The cyan-colored pill serenely fell into his palm, and Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, lifted his chin, and swallowed the pill.

After swallowing the pill, Li Xiaoyao leaped and jumped into the coffin.

As the two bodies came into contact, a dazzling burst of colorful light exploded forth. Nie Xiaoqian looked up to see the stone platform atop bursting into brilliant light, like a stunning sun.

A tinge of worry rose in her heart. Nie Xiaoqian clenched her fists tightly and prayed, “My lord, please let nothing happen to you.”

Pain, a deep bone-marrow pain.

Li Xiaoyao had never felt such agony, not even when he was on a mission in Africa, shot multiple times, suturing up his own wounds; none of that compared to this pain.

Li Xiaoyao had always thought physical pain could not break him, but now, he realized how naïve that thought was.

If someone were standing by his side at that moment, they would clearly see Li Xiaoyao’s muscles slowly separating from his bones.

The sheer agony of flesh and bone being torn apart was something an average person couldn’t understand or endure.

Li Xiaoyao hoped he could pass out from the pain, so he wouldn’t have to endure this torture.

Contrary to his wish, his consciousness had never been so clear; he could even hear the sound of his flesh splitting and blood flowing.

“Ahh!”

An angry roar, suppressed to the extreme, was released from his throat.

Nie Xiaoqian could almost feel Li Xiaoyao’s suffering, but she was powerless to help.

It was unclear how long the excruciating pain lasted; Li Xiaoyao only remembered the night falling twice, and the sun rising twice.

Finally, the bone-deep pain subsided, but before he had a chance to catch his breath, an even more unbearable pain from his soul came surging once again.

Li Xiaoyao’s bones were forcibly torn from his flesh and now the two sets of bones were constantly fusing.

This kind of fusion was something that Li Xiaoyao found hard to accept.

Because Li Xiaoyao’s bones, compared to his Golden Body, were truly fragile and pitiable, with the strong and the weak merging, the weaker side had to endure the baptism from the stronger one.

This so-called baptism was actually quite simple: it was to shatter all of Li Xiaoyao’s bones into powder and then blend them into the Golden Body.

To personally experience his bones being crushed bit by bit, the pain made Li Xiaoyao pass out many times, but each time he lost consciousness, it was only a few seconds before he woke up again.

This process had repeated I don’t know how many times, and even death would be better than this endless torment.

But what made Li Xiaoyao feel sorrowful was that he couldn’t even control his own death.

…

Before long, seven days had passed.

The Xie Family sent a large number of people who stationed themselves outside the ancient tomb.

Apart from the people from the Xie Family, there were already thousands of cultivators gathered outside the ancient tomb.

These cultivators had all rushed over upon hearing news of the tomb.

The ancient tomb had already become a target in everyone’s eyes.

Everyone knew that in Ling City there was an ancient tomb of a powerful cultivator, which contained a great number of treasures.

No one intended to let the Xie Family take all the spoils, so under the pretense of avenging the cultivators who died in the tomb, they tried to snatch the treasures from the Xie Family.

“Li Shisan, come out!”

“As a cultivator, you killed our fellow cultivators just for a few treasures.”

“I propose that Li Shisan hand over all the treasures from the tomb.”

“Hand over the treasures!”

“Hand over the treasures!”

“Hand over the treasures!”

Several hundred cultivators shouted in unison, their voices thundering, shaking the earth, making even Xie Min and Li Shisan slightly change color.

Xie Min said, “You go and handle it.”

Li Shisan smiled bitterly in his heart, this dangerous task again fell to me.

Despite his reluctance, under these circumstances, he had no choice but to show up, otherwise, if these cultivators really rebelled and joined forces against them, even with strong players like Xie Min and Li Shisan among them, they wouldn’t be able to completely resist.

As soon as Li Shisan appeared, the atmosphere below immediately became even more intense, and the voices denouncing Li Shisan surged wave after wave.

“Fellow daoists,” Li Shisan shouted sternly, his voice imbued with spiritual energy, like thunder exploding beside everyone’s ears.

The scene suddenly quieted down and everyone shut their mouths.

Li Shisan pointed towards the tombstone in front of the ancient tomb and demanded, “Fellow daoists, dare I ask what is written on that tombstone?”

No one spoke.

Li Shisan sneered and said, “The tomb of Li Changfeng.”

“I’m sure this name, Li Changfeng, should be no stranger to you.”

“A hundred years ago, my Li Family had a genius called Li Changfeng, who reached the Golden Core Realm at the age of 39, and became the number one under the heavens.”

“I know your purpose for coming here is just for the treasures in the tomb of my Li Family’s ancestor. I can tell you all very directly that your wishes are likely going to be for naught.”

“This is the tomb of my Li Family’s ancestors, and those who trespass, die!” Li Shisan said word by word, with an extremely domineering aura, “No matter who it is!”
