The next morning.
The rising sun gradually rose in the east, and a ray of sunlight shone through the living room window onto Xiao Ling's profile.
Xiao Ling slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep to greet a new day. He looked out the window at the sun, which had just risen from the horizon while most people were still asleep.
He looked down at Xiao Xun'er in his arms and saw that she had her eyes closed, seeming to be still immersed in sleep.
The warm sunlight shines through the window, making her soft profile even more beautiful. Her lips open and close slightly, her breath is as fragrant as orchids, and she looks like a newborn soul enjoying the candlelight in a greenhouse. It makes people want to go up and taste it.
Xiao Ling slowly raised his left hand, brushed a few strands of hair in front of Xiao Xun'er's cheek behind her ear, carefully stroked her pretty face with skin as smooth as cream, kissed her forehead lightly, and then slowly laid her flat on the sofa.
Xiao Ling took out a blanket made of fire fox fur from the ring and gently covered Xiao Xun'er with it.
He picked up the porcelain vase containing the Golden Emperor's Sky Burning Flame on the tea table in the living room, turned back and looked at Xiao Xun'er seriously again, then quietly left the room and walked towards his dormitory.
Xiao Ling was not good at parting. He might not be used to the fact that the person who had been with him for so many years was suddenly not by his side. Leaving quietly also avoided too much reluctance, which was quite good.
After Xiao Ling left the room, Xiao Xun'er, who was lying on the sofa in the living room, slowly opened her eyes. She was sleeping in Xiao Ling's arms, and she woke up when Xiao Ling moved a little. She just didn't know how to start talking, so she pretended to be asleep.
She touched the remaining warmth on her forehead and felt a little empty and uncomfortable.
Letting out a long sigh, Xiao Xun'er whispered softly, "Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er will wait for you to come back here."
...
After returning to his dormitory, Xiao Ling came to the training room, sat cross-legged, and released the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame from the porcelain bottle.
Suddenly, a scorching temperature came towards him, and its temperature seemed to be able to destroy the void and burn everything.
The flame left the porcelain bottle, but it did not wantonly release its own temperature. Instead, it floated quietly in the air, looking extremely well-behaved. I think it must be because Xiao Xun'er had given it some instructions before, so it seemed so honest. The inherited flame was indeed somewhat strange. Without the cooperation of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, even if Gu Yuan, who had reached the peak of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint, took action personally, he would probably not be able to seal it in Xiao Xun'er's body when she was young.
Feeling the temperature rise instantly, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of being the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame List. Even if it's just a seed flame, its power is really extraordinary. Without the cultivation base reaching the Dou Wang level, I have no right to absorb and refine it."
Withdrawing his gaze from the Heavenly flame, Xiao Ling did not intend to absorb and refine it directly. Even if this Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame did not resist, he would still suffer some torture before he could complete the absorption. Although Xiao Ling was not afraid of pain, it was better to avoid suffering if possible.
Xiao Ling lightly touched the storage ring and took out a small transparent jade bottle. In the jade bottle, a blood-colored pill the size of a longan was lying quietly. Through the reflection of the bottle surface, some shadows were faintly highlighted in the blood-colored pill, which was shaking slightly, and there seemed to be liquid swaying in it.
This round blood-colored pill is one of the essential items for devouring the Heavenly
Flame: Blood Lotus Pill!.
Xiao Ling had prepared it a long time ago, and originally intended to use it when swallowing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, but he didn't expect to use it on the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame. The energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire that had not been used by Medusa was about Dou Huang, and the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame was between Dou Ling and Dou Wang, so the function of this Blood Lotus Pill should be sufficient.
After taking out the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Ling took out a small jade box from the ring and gently placed it on the smooth ground. All of a sudden, a faint chill condensed into a thin layer of ice on the ground. He opened the jade box, and a snow-white jade bottle was carefully placed in it. A faint white cold mist lingered around the jade bottle, which seemed to exude a vague and mysterious feeling.
This snow-white jade bottle contains the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that Xiao Ling exchanged from the Canaan Academy treasury.
Putting these two items aside, Xiao Ling took out a stone from the ring.
This is a thumb-sized gray stone, as smooth as jade without the slightest flaw. In the center of the stone, there is a faint blue light that slowly wriggles, like a small insect with vitality.
This is the Acceptance Soul, an extremely rare natural resource that can only be dug out with a very small chance from high-level Storage Stones.
Although the Acceptance Soul is only a small size, its value is definitely far greater than the Blood Lotus Pill and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. If he hadn't asked Elder Huo for help before and relied on the connections of Canaan Academy, it would have been difficult to get it.
After putting the belt and storage ring aside, Xiao Ling took a deep breath and calmed his somewhat agitated mood. After his mind was calm, he planned to start devouring the seed flame.
Xiao Ling bent his palm slightly and pulled the small jade bottle into his palm. He tilted the jade bottle and a round pill the size of a longan, which was faintly shiny, rolled into his hand.
Holding the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Ling put it under his nose and sniffed it. A strange smell lingered at the tip of his nose. The cool feeling almost made his soul tremble slightly.
Staring intently at the fifth-grade pill, Xiao Ling clenched his fists suddenly, then closed his eyes and stuffed it into his mouth.
As soon as the Blood Lotus Pill entered his mouth, it turned into a slightly cold energy, which quickly penetrated into the meridians in Xiao Ling's body. Finally, it slowly penetrated into the meridians and bones like layers of blood films.
As the blood film penetrated, Xiao Ling's body suddenly trembled violently, and traces of blood continued to seep out from the pores. In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Ling's body was covered with a layer of bright red blood, which looked extremely terrifying.
Soon after the blood appeared, it quickly coagulated and finally formed a bloody stratum corneum. This stratum corneum not only wrapped Xiao Ling's hands and feet, but also completely sealed his eyes.
The blood-colored stratum corneum was like an airtight blood-colored armor that protected Xiao Ling tightly.
Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his palm covered with a bloody cuticle, aimed it at the Heavenly flame in the air, and activated the vacuum palm. A suction force suddenly burst out.
With the appearance of suction, the golden flame in the air flew towards Xiao Ling.
When the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame floated in front of him, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand towards it and reached his hand into the golden flame, intending to take out the flame from it.
Even though the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame did not resist at all, when Xiao Ling's palm touched the flame, he still felt an extremely hot temperature. The blood-colored stratum corneum covering his arm began to melt rapidly, and drops of liquid like blood kept dripping down. Whenever these liquids left his arm, they were quickly burned into nothingness by the golden flame.
Although the blood-colored stratum corneum melted very quickly in the strange fire, at the same time as it melted, the medicinal power of the Blood Lotus Pill in Xiao Ling's body once again released a steady stream of cold energy. These energies shuttled through the meridians and finally quickly repaired the melted blood-colored stratum corneum on his arm.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the intense burning pain, Xiao Ling's soul power surged out from between his brows. Because the flame did not resist, he quickly found the specific location of the fire and grasped it firmly in his hand. His palm was tightly grasping an object that seemed to be real. Xiao Ling did not dare to waste time. He endured the burning pain on his palm and slowly pulled his arm out of the golden flame.
When his arm was pulled out of the golden flame, a golden block-like object was floating quietly in Xiao Ling's palm.
After staring deeply at the origin flame, Xiao Ling swallowed it into his mouth without much hesitation.
The flame entered the body, and even without deliberately emitting power, it burned the surrounding blood vessels into nothingness. Whenever there was damage in the body, the trunk bone of the Hundred Thousand Years Blue Silver Emperor would emit a stream of clear water and begin to heal these injuries. Feeling a burning heat burning in his body, Xiao Ling picked up the Ice Spirit Cold Spring beside him and poured it all into his stomach.
The cold current rushed into the body, then began to flow in all directions along the meridians. All the meridians and bones passed by this cold current would quickly be covered with a layer of milky white ice.
The cold current flowed into his body, and the bone-chilling cold just offset the heat in his body caused by the Heavenly flame. The sudden feeling of comfort made Xiao Ling breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves also relaxed a little.
After forming the hand seal for cultivation, Xiao Ling began to circulate the Dou Qi in his body according to the route of the Burning Technique. His mind led a wisp of golden flame to slowly circulate, and wherever the flame passed, the ice layer formed by the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was constantly melted. Fortunately, the source of the Heavenly flame did not resist, so it was quite smooth to control.
When the golden flame flowed out from a main meridian, it finally completed a perfect cycle. At this moment, Xiao Ling could clearly feel that the connection between his mind and the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame had become a little more tacit.
At this time, the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame, after passing through the route of the Burning Technique, released an extremely destructive high temperature which suddenly converged slowly. After a moment, the high temperature was almost completely converged into the flame, and a hint of gentleness emanated faintly.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "It looks like we're about to succeed. Fortunately, we're well prepared. Seed flame has no intention of resisting, unlike Xiao Yan, who had to endure a lot of torture before he could absorb the Heavenly flame."
With a wave of his hand, the tiny Acceptance Soul on the stone surface turned into a gray light and shot straight into Xiao Ling's body. As Xiao Ling controlled it, it drilled into the Dou Crystal.
As the Acceptance Soul entered Xiao Ling's body, in an instant, a dazzling golden flame shield suddenly shot out from Xiao Ling's body and finally wrapped him up. The surging hot golden flames on it isolated all the light from outside.
In the center of the Dou Crystal, a small gray light spot was suspended in it. Within the light spot was endless deep darkness. At the end of the darkness, there seemed to be another space hidden. It looked extremely mysterious.
The last step to refine the Heavenly flame into the origin flame, and also the most important step, is to force the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame into the space formed by the Acceptance Soul. Only when the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame is completely taken into the Acceptance Soul and refined, can it be truly achieve perfection!.
Originally, this step was extremely difficult. After all, the flame spirit in the Heavenly flame had a little bit of intelligence, and it had an instinctive resistance to dangerous things. If it failed to be forced to drive it away, the Heavenly flame that had already completed the initial refining would probably backfire again!
But because of Xiao Xun'er's instructions, this Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame did not have the slightest intention of disobeying Xiao Ling's control, and when it approached the Acceptance Soul, it seemed to have sensed something and took the initiative to drill into the strange space.
As Xiao Ling successfully refined the flame, waves of energy ripples suddenly and rapidly emerged on the surface of the golden light shield that had been in silence. Then, a powerful aura suddenly spread out from the flame light shield.
Above the light shield, as the speed of the energy ripples became more and more violent, finally, tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the round light shield. The cracks slowly spread out, and finally covered the entire light shield. At first glance, it looked like a golden egg covered with cracks.
"Crack."
A crisp sound echoed in the training room. A small piece of energy fell quietly from the golden light shield and landed on the floor. The scorching heat it carried immediately melted the ground and created a small pit.
"Crack... crack."
When the first piece of energy fragment fell, the golden energy shield suddenly trembled violently. The trembling lasted for a moment. At a certain moment, the golden shield exploded with a loud bang.
Xiao Ling, who was sitting cross-legged inside, also revealed his naked body.
In the ink-black eyes, there was a faint golden flame. After a while, it suddenly surged up and covered the entire eye. For a moment, Xiao Ling's pupils turned golden, and he looked as if he was dominating the world.
After opening his eyes, Xiao Ling twisted his neck slightly. Suddenly, the collision of bones made a very smooth crackling sound. Listening to the crisp sound, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, his face full of comfort and intoxication.
