In fact, Yuwen Xiangyu was quite aware of her own situation, so when Dark Night brought up this matter, she agreed without any hesitation.

Soon, Dark Night prepared a huge bathtub, filled it with water, and after placing the Bloodstone into it, the water in the bathtub gradually turned blood red and started to boil!

"This is truly amazing!" exclaimed Dark Night, watching the scene unfold, "Ling Feng, what do we do next?"

Ling Feng said, "Next, Xiangyu needs to sit in the bathtub. Over the course of a week, she must absorb all the energy from the Bloodstone into her body to transform her meridians and bone marrow, achieving the goal of Marrow Cleansing. By doing so, she can become a Spiritual Physique! However, the process will be somewhat torturous, so Xiangyu must prepare herself!"

Yuwen Xiangyu came over, looked at the boiling water, and hesitation flashed in her eyes, but after hearing Ling Feng's words, she snorted coldly, "Don't underestimate me; this is nothing to me! You guys get out, I'm starting!"

After which, Dark Night and Ling Feng were driven out by Yuwen Xiangyu.

Now alone in the room, Yuwen Xiangyu gazed at the continuously boiling red water. A struggle flashed in the depths of her eyes, but eventually, she slowly removed all her clothes, revealing her youthful and attractive body.

As the last piece of clothing fell, Yuwen Xiangyu's face was already flushed with heat! Although there was no one else there, the thought of Ling Feng being outside while she was completely naked in the room made something inside Yuwen Xiangyu burn fiercely!

"Huff, huff, Yuwen Xiangyu, what are you thinking about!" Yuwen Xiangyu slapped her cheeks, then took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the bathtub.

As she stepped into the boiling red water, Yuwen Xiangyu's body shivered; the boiling water seemed like countless hands touching her body, causing her to shudder uncontrollably!

Despite appearing to boil, the water gave Yuwen Xiangyu a chilling sensation!

And this chill resonated with the cold energy inside her body, and soon Yuwen Xiangyu's body began to turn into an ice sculpture.

Outside, Dark Night was somewhat restless, pacing back and forth and looking up to ask, "Ling Feng, are you really sure there's no problem? Why is there no sound from inside?"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "How would I know about that; why don't you go in and check?"

Dark Night, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "Be serious. How could I possibly go in to check! Should I send a woman to take a look?"

Seeing Dark Night's anxious behavior, Ling Feng spoke indifferently, "Sure, but if the coming and going of people disturbs Yuwen Xiangyu and something happens, I take no responsibility!"

"Well, let's forget it then," Dark Night said with an embarrassed expression.

But the silence didn't last long before a pained low growl from Yuwen Xiangyu could be heard inside.

"Xiangyu, how are you doing? Are you alright?" Dark Night called out anxiously after hearing it.

"I... I'm fine! I can hold on!" Yuwen Xiangyu's voice came intermittently from inside: "I can feel the changes in my body! I... I must succeed!"

Yuwen Xiangyu had not expected that after the chill, the red water in the bathtub would emit waves of scorching heat. This blistering heat mingled with the Power of Frost within her, placing her truly between ice and fire.

In this mingling of ice and fire, Yuwen Xiangyu endured the pain while the impurities inside her body were also refining out bit by bit through her pores due to the tempering by the two extreme forces.

The Marrow Cleansing had just begun, and such a process was to continue for an entire week!

Soon, a whole day passed, and Yuwen Xiangyu's pained, muffled voice clearly reached Dark Night's ears!

Never before had Dark Night loathed his extraordinary Spiritual Perception as much as he did today. Yet what comforted him a bit was that Yuwen Xiangyu's breath was steadily growing stronger, meaning that the Bloodstone provided by Ling Feng might very well set Yuwen Xiangyu on the path to a Spiritual Physique.

"Dark Night, I'm leaving!" the next day, Ling Feng, looking at Dark Night with panda eyes, said, "Take good care of Yuwen Xiangyu here. I'm off to make the final preparations!"

Dark Night, with a shameful expression, said, "Ling Feng, you've done me such a great favor, I should be the one to help you obtain the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, but..."

Dark Night's words were unfinished, but Ling Feng was well aware that these seven days were critical for Yuwen Xiangyu, how could Dark Night possibly not guard her personally?

"I just didn't want to come to blows with you!" Ling Feng said with a smile, "I don't have many friends in the Underworld, and you're one of them. I don't want to compete with you for it, that's all!"

Dark Night hugged Ling Feng tightly, "Good brother, this time I owe you. If you ever need me in the future, just send a word my way!"

...

"Such a pity!" On the road to Miao Village, Ao Yun said with a tone of regret, "If we had Dark Night's help, your success rate in obtaining the Nine Nether Blood Lotus could have doubled. What a pity!"

"Doubled?" Ling Feng was startled, "Is that true?"

"Of course, from a one in ten thousand chance to two in ten thousand. Don't you think that's doubled?" Ao Yun retorted.

Ling Feng was at his wits' end, "Are you making fun of me?"

"Who dares? You are my Young Master now, how could I dare make fun of you?" Ao Yun said with a smile, "If the Young Master asks, I'm not opposed to telling you!"

Ling Feng snorted coldly. Perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long, this Black Flood Dragon, though completely powerless post-transformation, had always been ostentatiously making his presence felt.

If it weren't for the fact that he had now succeeded in turning into a dragon, Ling Feng would have long since pinned him down and given him a thorough beating.

Seeing that Ling Feng was ignoring him, Ao Yun also felt bored, "Ah, why won't you believe me? I've actually been quite optimistic!"

In Miao Village, a girl of about eighteen or nineteen was standing at the entrance, eagerly waiting.

"Yuting, are you waiting for that Han person?" Miao Yunfeng asked Miao Yuting, who was looking expectant, and his voice carried a hint of sourness.

Miao Yuting seemed not to notice and nodded excitedly, "Brother Feng said he had something to take care of and he might come back today! I..."

Just then, a figure flashed outside the village, and a happy smile appeared on Miao Yuting's face. She left Miao Yunfeng behind and dashed toward the figure.

Miao Yunfeng sighed. The Marquis dreams; the Goddess has no heart. Miao Yunfeng realized that there was no longer any hope between himself and Miao Yuting!
