Absorbing Beast Fire was not a rare occurrence, so Xiao Yan had no intention of hiding it.
The small valley had a beautiful and quiet environment with abundant energy, making it perfectly suited for him to absorb the purple flame.
He looked around and found a spot far away from the wooden cabin to sit cross-legged.
Yun Yun didn’t know what Xiao Yan was doing and wanted to come closer, but was immediately barked back by Xiao Yan: “What are you coming over for?
I’m about to absorb the Beast Fire.
Your cultivation is currently sealed; what if you get accidentally hurt?”
Being scolded, Yun Yun instinctively wanted to show a wronged expression, but she forcefully suppressed it, her face turning neutral instead: “I understand.”
She then backed away, sat down cross-legged some distance from Xiao Yan, and tried to undo the Seal inside her body.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King’s Amethyst Seal was indeed not weak.
If she wanted to undo the Seal, it would be impossible to do so without spending a few days.
Inside the wooden cabin.
Xiao Yi Xian had already gotten out of bed.
Sitting by the window, she saw Xiao Yan busy with his own things and didn’t go over to disturb him.
She just watched quietly, enjoying the peace of the moment.
What she held in her hand was that scroll of the Seven-Colored Poison Manual.
…
Absorbing the Beast Fire was not as troublesome as imagined.
There was no need for things like the blood lotus pill or the ice spirit cold spring.
The pulse-protecting pill and the ice-heart pill were entirely sufficient.
Xiao Yan even felt that with his Fire Spirit Body, these two Medicinal Pills were redundant.
However, Yao Lao inside the ring kept sending Soul transmissions urging him to be cautious, so Xiao Yan had to comply.
He swallowed the pulse-protecting pill and the ice-heart pill, instantly feeling a protective film condense over his Meridians, and his mind became exceptionally clear after a wave of coolness.
After swallowing the two Medicinal Pills, Yao Lao in the ring finally permitted him to absorb the purple flame.
Xiao Yan immediately circulated the Burning Technique, and the pale yellow Dou Qi of the Burning Technique swept toward the quiet purple flame inside his body.
The Beast Fire, which should have been incredibly violent, stayed inside his body like a baby lying in its mother’s arms, extremely obedient and peaceful.
At this moment, the assault of the Flame Mantra’s Dou Qi broke this peace.
The Beast Fire instantly grew violent, instinctively trying to fight back.
Yao Lao in the ancient ring immediately grew worried.
After all, it was the Beast Fire of the Tier 6 Demonic Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and it had already reached maturity, so its intensity was not low.
This was acting up inside his body; if something really went wrong, even if Xiao Yan’s physical body was powerful, it would not end well.
However, a scene that shocked Yao Lao to his very core occurred.
Just a second before the Beast Fire was about to riot, Xiao Yan let out a soft, “Hmm?”
Instantly, the violent Beast Fire returned to being docile once more.
Even as it was continuously devoured by the Burning Technique’s Dou Qi, it did not resist at all.
“This…
this isn’t right!” Yao Lao exclaimed in shock, completely unable to understand why this violent Beast Fire would be so docile with Xiao Yan.
Could it be because of this strange Cultivation Technique, the Burning Technique?
The technique didn’t mention having this effect, though.
Yao Lao was thoroughly baffled, left to ponder wildly by himself inside the ring.
The absorption of the Beast Fire went very smoothly.
After the Burning Technique absorbed the Beast Fire, it upgraded from Low Yellow Rank to Intermediate Yellow Rank.
Even with the amplification of Xiao Yan’s Fire Spirit Body, it only possessed the cultivation speed of a Low Profound Rank Cultivation Technique.
Fortunately, although the scale of this promotion was not large, it proved that the “Burning Technique” indeed had the effect of evolving by absorbing flames.
This undoubtedly gave Yao Lao in the ring a huge boost of confidence.
Aside from the harvest of the Burning Technique’s evolution,
Xiao Yan’s cultivation had also made considerable progress.
From a six-star Great Dou Master to an eight-star Great Dou Master, breaking through two stars in a row.
Compared to the original novel’s Xiao Yan, who only broke through from a nine-star Dou Practitioner to a one-star Dou Master, a two-star increase at the Great Dou Master level was on a completely different level of energy intensity.
Although this was related to the purple flame in his body being more mature than the one in the original novel, it was still enough to show the power of the Fire Spirit Body.
If he had been born into some major power, he might have been able to become a Dou Zun just by devouring Beast Flames all the way, rather than having to painstakingly plan for so long like now just to get his hands on a single Tier 6 Beast Fire.
After feeling a slight trace of envy toward the Disciples of those major powers, Xiao Yan suddenly felt like laughing.
As a cheater who was born with three Golden Fingers and had an old grandpa teaching him Alchemy, he didn’t seem to have any right to envy the Disciples of those major powers.
Not to mention his Soul talent and Fire Spirit Body, just the Dou Di Legacy alone was already not inferior to top families like the Gu Clan and the Hun Clan.
Furthermore, after those top families had continued for so many years, if their Legacy was lost, they might not even be as good as him obtaining the Dou Di Legacy.
At the very least, he wouldn’t exchange the High Heaven Rank “Spirit-Devouring Body-Refining Technique” for any other Cultivation Technique.
That he could achieve a physical strength comparable to a Tier 4 Magical Beast at his current age, this Cultivation Technique deserved the most credit.
Once he absorbed the numerous Demonic Beast corpses in his storage ring, his physical strength would surely welcome another promotion.
Xiao Yan stood up, put away the pulse-protecting pill and ice-heart pill that he had barely used, and walked into the small wooden cabin.
Inside the wooden cabin, Xiao Yi Xian was preparing herbs.
Seeing Xiao Yan enter, she said, “Are you done?
Do you want some breakfast?
I can make some.”
Xiao Yan shook his head: “No need, I’m not done yet.
I probably need to go out for another day.”
“I came over to tell you not to let that woman know my real name.
If she asks you for my name, just tell her I’m called Xiao Huo.”
Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian narrowed her eyes and smiled: “What, are you afraid that after everything is settled, a Dou Huang expert will come looking for trouble with you?”
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose: “It’s not because of that.”
“Mainly, she is my fiancée’s master.”
“Fiancée’s master…
You have a fiancée?!” Xiao Yi Xian’s expression changed drastically.
Xiao Yan: “Are you focusing on the wrong point?”
“Besides, regarding that fiancée, we have already dissolved our engagement.
I’ll tell you the details slowly when I get back; I don’t mind sharing with friends.”
Realizing her reaction was too extreme, Xiao Yi Xian quickly tried to cover it up: “I was just surprised.
After all, if you had a fiancée, with me…
oh, anyway, it’s just not very good, you know?”
“Fortunately, it was dissolved,” Xiao Yi Xian muttered softly under her breath.
“Mhm, I understand.
In any case, please help me hide it.
Otherwise, if she finds out my real identity, our interactions will become awkward,” Xiao Yan instructed.
“Don’t worry,” Xiao Yi Xian patted her chest, puffing it out intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Yan couldn’t help but steal a couple of glances, thinking that small buns were also quite delectable.
Then, before Xiao Yi Xian could notice, he quickly withdrew his gaze and fled the scene.
…
Outside the small valley, Xiao Yan returned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s Immortal Cave.
The fire-attributed energy here was dense; he felt comfortable just staying here.
Going back deep into the cave, he headed to the left cave chamber where the accompanying purple crystal source was stored.
Xiao Yan took out several storage rings and released all the Demonic Beast corpses inside them.
A large pile of Tier 3 Demonic Beasts.
Three Tier 5 Demonic Beasts.
And the corpse of the Tier 6 Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Even after death, the corpse exuded an extraordinary pressure.
