Chapter 264 Mo You is resurrected, a five-star Dou Sheng!
After an unknown amount of time, the dazzling light inside the palace gradually faded, receding like the tide.

The two opened their eyes at the same time. Lu Yu looked at Cai Lin beside him with concern. He saw that her beautiful eyes were filled with a more dazzling nine-colored light than ever before. She nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"What level has your spiritual vein advanced to?" Lu Yu asked softly, his tone filled with anticipation.

Cai Lin carefully sensed the surging power within her body. The level three spiritual vein, originally based on the Ice Soul Frost Flame, had now transformed into an even more profound form. A stunning smile curved her lips, and her voice carried a hint of joy: "Level four."

“A level four earth vein…” Lu Yu nodded thoughtfully. “With such talent, if he cultivates normally, reaching the peak of the Dou Sheng realm shouldn’t be a problem.”

He stared at the nine-colored snake pattern between Cai Lin's eyebrows and continued, "With your own nine-colored Devouring Python bloodline, you are likely to become a Dou Di."

"The Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python bloodline was as powerful as the ancient Heavenly Serpent King's bloodline in ancient times."

Lu Yu's tone was full of admiration, "If it were placed in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, it would be comparable to the royal bloodline, and the top-tier one at that. If it were placed in the Eight Ancient Clans, it would be a divine bloodline, with the same aptitude as Xun'er."

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin gently raised her jade hand, feeling the power surging within her bloodline, and said softly, "No matter how strong the bloodline is, it still requires one's own efforts. In ancient times, didn't powerful bloodlines like the Nine-Colored Devouring Python, the Ancient Heavenly Serpent, and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix also disappear into the long river of history?"

She lightly touched her brow with her fingertip, and a drop of blood shimmering with nine-colored light slowly appeared. This drop of blood seemed to contain immense energy, with faint shadowy snakes moving within it.

"This is a drop of my primordial essence."

Cai Lin pushed her essence blood toward Lu Yu, saying, "Senior Mo You perished while protecting my clan. Now that there is an opportunity to bring him back to the world, I should do my part."

Lu Yu solemnly accepted the drop of essence blood, feeling the immense energy within it, and said in a deep voice, "With this drop of the Nine-Colored Devouring Python's essence blood as a guide, coupled with that five-star Dou Sheng's physical body, and the ninth-grade treasure pill-level Bone-Regenerating and Blood-Melting Pill, Senior Mo You's chances of resurrection are at least 90%."

He carefully put away the drop of nine-colored essence blood, and then took out several warm jade bottles from his storage ring: "During this time, you should recuperate and restore your depleted qi and blood. Leave the matter of Senior Mo You's resurrection to me."

Cai Lin took the jade bottle, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Don't worry, this little bit of consumption is nothing to me."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to walk towards the alchemy room.

……

Soon after,

Inside the quiet room.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Yu summoned several medicinal herbs that emitted a rich aroma, which floated into the air. Among them, the Blood Essence Demon Fruit was as red as blood, the Evergreen Spirit Vine was lush and verdant, and the Snow Bone Ginseng was as white as jade.

"Three Yangs Thunderclap, rise!"

He formed a hand seal, and three-colored light burst forth from his fingertips. The three colors of light intertwined and entwined like serpents, eventually condensing into a complex three-colored rune that enveloped the same type of medicinal material.

The surface of the Blood Essence Demon Fruit first crackled with silver lightning, with fine arcs of electricity flowing through the flesh; then the lightning gradually faded, and a blue radiance shone through from within, making the entire fruit look like jade.

In this wondrous transformation, the unique blood essence of the Blood Essence Demon Fruit not only did not dissipate, but instead condensed into several blood-red phantoms within the azure light. These phantoms merged together, ultimately transforming into a fuller fruit with golden patterns appearing on its surface.

During the transformation process, several sections of the ancient green vine underwent tempering by crimson fire and baptism by silver lightning, eventually fusing into a single, entirely azure green vine. Mysterious patterns naturally appeared on the vine's body, and seven-colored rays of light flowed from its tip, radiating a rich and invigorating vitality that soothed the soul.

As for the Snow Bone Ginseng, it has fused into a crystal-clear ice jade ginseng, with the cold energy contained within reaching the ninth level, and its surface faintly shimmering with ice radiance.

The three ninth-tier main medicines, having completed their transformation, floated in the air, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction, and with a flick of his sleeve, dozens of auxiliary medicines emerged one after another. The Flame of Life enveloped them, and emerald green tongues of fire began to flicker and leap, officially commencing the refining of the medicinal liquid.

……

Seven days later, the weather on the summit of Tianmu Mountain suddenly changed.

Thick, inky thunderclouds converged from all directions, blotting out the sun. Within the clouds, thick, black lightning bolts, as thick as buckets, darted wildly, emitting deafening roars—this was the Black Demon Lightning Tribulation that inevitably precedes the birth of a ninth-grade elixir!
"Boom!"

The first bolt of black lightning tore through the sky, striking down with an aura of destruction. At this critical moment, a small, pitch-black tower shot out from the mountaintop, growing into a colossal tower thousands of feet tall amidst the wind.

The tower suddenly began to rotate, instantly forming a huge energy vortex. The black demon lightning, which was powerful enough to kill a Dou Sheng expert, was swallowed up completely, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a second, a third... a total of nine bolts of black demonic lightning struck down in succession, but they were all absorbed the instant they touched the tower. The entire Floating Pagoda shimmered with a deep, eerie light, and black lightning could be faintly seen flashing across its surface, yet it remained completely unharmed.

As the last bolt of lightning was swallowed up, the thunderclouds slowly dissipated. The thousand-foot-tall tower rapidly shrank, transforming into a three-inch tower, which obediently landed back in the palm of the man in green robes atop the mountain.

Lu Yu lightly raised his left hand, and a golden, shimmering pill floated above it, its crimson aura faintly visible. In his right palm, the Floating Pagoda trembled slightly, black lightning crackling and flickering across its surface. With a thought, the black demonic lightning suppressed within the Floating Pagoda was instantly refined and absorbed. Since the Floating Pagoda had been upgraded to a mid-grade divine artifact, refining lightning power of this level had become effortless.

Feeling the battle qi within his body solidify even further, Lu Yu put away the precious pill with satisfaction and muttered to himself, "It's time to prepare to revive Senior Mo You."

Immediately, he took a step forward and instantly appeared on the Tianshantai Square of Tianmu Mountain.

In the center of this wide plaza paved with white jade, a hazy, white-robed phantom stood silently. The phantom exuded a faint, yet ethereal, aura of a saint, and though somewhat illusory, one could still sense the immense spiritual power contained within it.

"Senior Mo You," Lu Yu said, bowing.

The white-robed phantom slowly opened its eyes, its voice carrying a hint of etherealness and emotion: "Young friend, you truly trust people, and have actually refined a ninth-grade precious pill for this old man."

He paused slightly, his tone sincere: "Thanks to your elixirs these past few days, my soul power has recovered by more than half. Now, I am truly unworthy of this generous gift."

Lu Yu smiled calmly: "Senior, you flatter me. Since I have promised to help, I will do my best."

"Please wait a moment, senior, while I complete my final preparations."

With a flick of his sleeve, his five-star Dou Sheng body, meticulously repaired by the Flame of Life, appeared.

Then, Lu Yu flicked his finger, and a ball of emerald green flame leaped out, completely enveloping the entire body. Under the scorching heat of the Flame of Life, the flesh melted at a visible speed, transforming in a moment into a complete skeleton as clear as jade.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the nine-colored essence blood given to him by Cai Lin and carefully dripped it onto the white bones.

The moment the essence blood touched the bones, it burst forth with a dazzling nine-colored radiance. The entire skeleton seemed to be infused with life, countless mysterious patterns appeared on its surface, and a faint hum like a dragon's roar emanated from it.

"Senior, take the pill!"

Without hesitation, the ethereal figure swallowed the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the skeleton. Immediately, flesh and blood tissue began to grow on the surface of the bones at a visible speed, and the meridians and blood vessels spread rapidly like a spider web.

Gazing at the rapidly writhing flesh, Lu Yu let out a low shout, and emerald flames suddenly surged forth. The newly formed flesh was constantly burned and regenerated in the flames, each reshaping becoming more solid and pure, faintly gleaming with a jade-like luster.

After several hours of repeated tempering, the body lying quietly has taken full shape, with a warm, jade-like luster flowing across its skin, faintly radiating mysterious energy fluctuations.

Lu Yu slowly closed the hand seals, and the emerald flames completely disappeared into his body. Just then, his body, which was lying flat on the ground, suddenly trembled slightly, and his tightly closed eyelids slowly opened.

"boom!"

A vast and boundless aura suddenly spread out, and the pressure of a five-star Dou Sheng instantly enveloped the entire Tian Shan Platform. The protective formations around the plaza rippled under the impact of this aura, and the flowing runes controlled the energy fluctuations within a specific range.

After a long while, the oppressive aura dissipated.

Mo You looked down at his newborn hand, feeling the long-lost power of the Dou Sheng surging through his meridians, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"How are you feeling, senior?" Lu Yu asked with concern.

Mo You stood up and, after carefully sensing it, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "It's better than ever before! Not only does it perfectly fit this body, but its cultivation level has even increased by a small realm compared to when it was alive, reaching the mid-stage of the five-star Dou Sheng."

He felt the surging power within him, his tone filled with disbelief: "In fact, this physical body has been fused with the essence blood of the Nine-Colored Sky-Devouring Python, and its aptitude seems to be even better than before."

Mo You's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he muttered to himself, "With such a physical body, given time, I might be able to break through the original bloodline shackles and advance further, reaching the level of a high-level Dou Sheng..."

He took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions, turned to face Lu Yu, and solemnly cupped his hands, saying, "Young friend, I will remember your kindness in saving me. I will do my best to help you in the future."

Lu Yu smiled and returned the greeting: "Senior, you flatter me. Since you have imparted the entire Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python clan's inherited techniques to Cai Lin, this kindness is something I should repay in kind."

Mo You slowly shook his head, his expression serious: "One thing at a time. Inheriting the cultivation techniques of the Devouring Python clan has always been my lifelong wish, and it is already fate that I can meet a descendant of the Devouring Python bloodline. But the kindness of you in reshaping my physical body is another kind of friendship."

He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over the Tianshan Platform: "If you don't mind, young friend, I would like to join the Lingbao Pavilion and serve as a guest elder."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu laughed loudly and said, "I would be most grateful to have your help, senior."
