"This is impossible! I've never seen such strong recovery power, not even those five elites could do it. This kid is practically an Undying Body, what's going on here?" Feeling Xiao Yifei's body recover at an astonishing speed, the Sunflame Qilin's mind was in turmoil. For it, having lived for hundreds of years trapped on this Holy Mountain, nothing could amaze it anymore.

Yet, Xiao Yifei's performance today overturned its understanding. At this rate of recovery, as long as the Qi within Xiao Yifei's body isn't exhausted, his body won't perish. When he reaches the Qi Sea Realm, he will truly have an Undying Body.

"You lucky boy!" The Sunflame Qilin couldn't help but sigh.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei also recovered during this time. He stood up, stretched his muscles, feel the flesh and Qi that had returned to peak condition, and let out a chuckle, revealing his white teeth.

"That was close, almost died again!"

After Xiao Yifei's efforts, his body finally returned to its original state. Combined with the initial promise from the Sunflame Qilin to shield him from Fire Poison, Xiao Yifei now felt no trace of heat, an indescribable comfort throughout his body.

Xiao Yifei stretched gently, shouted to the air, "Are you convinced now, senior? Can you now believe what I said?"

The Sunflame Qilin secretly observed Xiao Yifei's entire rebirth process and couldn't calm its heart. Logically, no one could reach this level, not even Xiao Yifei's father, Xiao Zhengri, had such Self-healing Power.

After some thought, the Sunflame Qilin seemed to realize something, a flash of inspiration in its mind.

"Throughout history, has the Xiao Family never produced a Weather Manipulator?"

This thought enlightened the Sunflame Qilin. It seemed the descendant of the Xiao Family before it should be the first Weather Manipulator in the family's long history. Until now, the Sunflame Qilin had never seen a Weather Manipulator from the Xiao Family, so it wouldn't know what abilities such a person might have. Seeing Xiao Yifei's capabilities today certainly broadened its knowledge.

"You lucky boy!" The Sunflame Qilin said to Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei smiled happily and said confidently to the air, "So, senior, do you agree to let me treat your illness?"

The air returned to calm, with no further response from the Sunflame Qilin, and Xiao Yifei wasn't in a hurry, just standing there waiting for the Qilin's answer.

After a while, the Sunflame Qilin's voice came from the air: "Not yet?"

"Not yet?" Xiao Yifei was startled, "Could it be that it realized my diagnosis was a fluke?" Xiao Yifei specifically contemplated this in his heart, thinking it should avoid detection by sensing Qi, but could it still not escape this old trickster's sensing?

"Although I've acknowledged your medical abilities and you've passed my first test, your strength is still too weak, and you're not qualified to treat me."

Xiao Yifei sighed in relief; as long as the Sunflame Qilin didn't know that he guessed the condition, everything would be fine.

"Strength is something that can be cultivated." Xiao Yifei said decisively.

"Moreover, I've only been in contact with the Cultivation World for a few months. To reach such a level, besides fate, it's also due to my own efforts. No matter how hard it gets, I can endure it!" Xiao Yifei added fuel to the fire, taking advantage of the momentum. Moreover, these words were from his heart, without a false word.

"Is that true?" The Sunflame Qilin asked. In its heart, it had started to acknowledge Xiao Yifei. After all, as the rare Weather Manipulator from the Xiao Family, reaching such a level in a short time sparked a desire to groom him.

"It's true! For the glory of the Seven Ancient Clans, I'm willing to do anything. To protect the people around me, I'm willing to pay any price." Determination flashed in Xiao Yifei's eyes, speaking with resolute sincerity.

"Good!" The Sunflame Qilin praised and continued, "Since it's like this, I will give you a second test. After passing this test, you can remold your flesh, making it impervious to swords and spears, with a body of steel and iron, exceeding human limits, greatly benefitting your future breakthroughs."

"Really?" Xiao Yifei asked, overjoyed with excitement.

"Of course, it's true, but this test relies on you alone. I can't assist, and—"

"And what?" Hearing the Sunflame Qilin stop midway, Xiao Yifei had an ominous feeling and asked quickly.

"Moreover, this test, if you can endure, will indeed remold your muscles and bones as I said earlier. But if you can't, you will die terribly, and even I can't save you," the Sunflame Qilin said gloomily.

"Certain death?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"Yes, if you fail, certain death."

Xiao Yifei was at a loss. For him, this cost wasn't unacceptable, but the body is ultimately the capital for survival. Without the body, everything is nothing. Although the Sunflame Qilin's conditions were good, they weren't worth taking such a huge risk.

"This—" Xiao Yifei pondered for a while, then said to the air, "But if I die, what about my family and friends? And Huaxia's current crisis, many in the Cultivation World ignore the country's plight, watching coldly. I'm worried about the consequences if I fail."

"It seems I was wrong about you. Do you only consider the consequences of failure in all your actions? Remember, once on the path of cultivation, there's no turning back. That's all I have to say; make your decision accordingly," the Sunflame Qilin said, then seemed to vanish, speaking no more.

Hearing the Sunflame Qilin's words, Xiao Yifei suddenly remembered Old Master Jin's "Killing Path." To protect family and friends, to revive the family, one must continuously fight. The only way to bring peace is to be ever ready for battle. There's no absolute peace in this world; killing others is still killing, is killing oneself not considered killing?

Upon this realization, it was like a moment of enlightenment for Xiao Yifei, a brilliant light in his eyes. He knelt with a thud and, looking towards the sky, bowed, "I am willing to accept the senior's test of remolding my muscles and bones. Please, senior, begin, and I will endure with all my might!"

Xiao Yifei's thoughts were not concealed, naturally sensed by the much stronger Sunflame Qilin, who nodded secretly, affirming Xiao Yifei further.

"Retrace your steps, jump into the magma, endure the erosion of Fire Poison and high temperatures, and your body will naturally be remolded. This is my second test," the Sunflame Qilin said to Xiao Yifei.

"What?" Xiao Yifei was shocked. Earlier, just this scorching and dry air was enough to kill him once. This time, it was to jump directly into the magma. Even normal magma, he couldn't withstand, let alone the magma in the Holy Mountain.

"Senior, surely you're joking?" Xiao Yifei asked tentatively, hoping the former would give him a definite answer.

Yet, only the silent air and occasional pops from the magma pool responded to him. Clearly, the Sunflame Qilin didn't intend to answer this question.
