"Even a mere Tier 2 Magical Beast can give birth to a beast spirit, and you, kid, can bump into it. It's really your luck."
Yao Lao's words made Xiao Yan unconsciously happy. After all, this was a blessing in disguise, a benefit for nothing.
"... However, ever since I forced this beast spirit out, I felt that this beast spirit was attracted by someone, and kept trying to get out. If I hadn't acted quickly just now, I almost didn't catch him."
"If this beast spirit is released, I predict that there must be something attracting the beast spirit somewhere east of the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"Animal spirits are naturally fierce and unwilling to obey is normal, but if they are attracted..."
Yao Lao's tone was a little more solemn and vaguely joyful.
"Could it be..."
"Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire...?"
A word that was somewhat unfamiliar to Xiao Yan appeared in Xiao Yan's mind. While he was puzzled, he couldn't help but ask.
Judging from the teacher's reaction and name, this seems to be a kind of Heavenly Flames?
Yao Lao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Yes, that Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire is also a member of the twenty-three types of Strange Fire Ranking, number 22."
"Twenty-two..."
Xiao Yan felt a little disappointed for no reason. Why did he come second to last?
"What are you thinking about? Brat."
After immediately discovering this guy's thoughts from Xiao Yan's tone, Yao Lao's tone suddenly became stern.
"Don't look at Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire as just ranking 22nd in Strange Fire Ranking, but you have to understand that Flame Mantra Evolution can help you and upgrade, and thus make your cultivation further, there is also a world between heaven and earth. There are only these twenty three kinds of Heavenly Flames! Do you think it is a lot? Or do you think you can have so many opportunities in your life to encounter an ownerless Heavenly Flames, and then risk your life to fuse it?"
Yao Lao's tone was unprecedentedly stern and serious, like a bucket of cold water, poured directly from Xiao Yan's head in one breath, completely extinguishing the pride he had accumulated and cultivated during his smooth journey.
"Seize every opportunity in your life, Xiao Yan, and don't learn to be picky. What we can encounter is our life. Don't waste any opportunity that is precious to you."
Yao Lao's voice was stern, but it also had the unique sigh of a teacher.
He was really worried that Xiao Yan would eventually be destroyed by the pride and complacency bred by smooth sailing. When the girl was here, she had given him too much protection, which even made Xiao Yan feel that it was enough to have Wan Guniang by his side.
But that's not the case. That girl has her own way to go. After all, she can't protect Xiao Yan for the rest of her life.
"... I know I was wrong, teacher."
Xiao Yan was silent for a while before reacting.
He also realized that his reaction just now was somewhat dazzled by past victories, but Yao Lao's words made him react.
"This has nothing to do with whether you are right or wrong. Whether you really realize your mistake or not depends on your next actions, Xiao Yan."
Yao Lao exhaled a breath and said calmly.
At the same time, there was a crackling sound from the campfire nearby. Yun Zhi saw that the grilled fish was almost ready, so he turned around with the grilled fish and looked at Xiao Yan.
"Feeling better? Get up and eat."
A crisp laughter made Xiao Yan come back to his senses from his cultivation state. He calmly put away the animal spirit in his hand. When he raised his head, he saw the grilled fish that was glowing with charcoal in front of him. It seemed that with a gentle blow, sparks would fly up like bright charcoal.
He couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, looked up at Yun Zhi, whose beautiful eyes were staring at him, swallowed, and still wondered if he was having a nightmare, so he asked, "Is this the fish you grilled?"
"This is the first time I baked food. Even if it's not delicious, you have to finish it, otherwise when I recover..."
Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Yun Zhi raised her red lips slightly and raised a grilled fish in her hand. The threat was self-evident in her faint words.
Xiao Yan curled his lips, really, it's just a fish, is that all?
"Sister, I'm a patient. You just don't give me the best care, but you're still poisoning me like this?"
Xiao Yan wailed, but Yun Zhi ignored it and swallowed the small piece of fish, then frowned slightly.
There was no way, there were things that others could do well, but she couldn't deceive herself. She was not very satisfied with her craftsmanship either.
"I am invulnerable to all poisons - invulnerable to all poisons - do it!"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Xiao Yan had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, then he held the skewers for grilled fish with both hands, prayed like offering incense and worshiping Buddha, and then took a bite of the fish as if he was dead.
The charcoal in his mouth turned his lips a little black, and the burnt fish tasted bitter in his mouth, making Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown.
"Me, this is my first time too..."
Although the threat just now was so strong, when seeing Xiao Yan's frown, Yun Zhi's pretty face inevitably showed a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment.
"You can actually learn it if you use the heat a few more times..."
Xiao Yan didn't want to comment at first, but in the end he couldn't hold it back. He raised nearly half of the grilled fish in his hand and said, "But did you forget to add salt? Why is there no taste at all?"
"Hey - you said it's okay if I'm burnt, but you blame me for having a strong taste... How could I not have added salt?!"
Yun Zhi said unhappily, causing Xiao Yan to raise his eyebrows.
"Impossible, how come you don't have any taste at all if you put salt in it?"
"Hmph, if you're not satisfied, then let it go yourself."
What Yun Zhi disliked the most was people who told lies with their eyes open. Feeling indignant, she turned around and picked up the small seasoning bottle and gave it to Xiao Yan.
As a result, when Xiao Yan saw the color of the bottle, his originally bitter face suddenly became extremely exciting.
"You, you, you... what did you just put... this... this?!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's extremely exciting expression, Yun Zhi couldn't help but let out a breath and felt that his face was getting hot. He didn't know if it was because of embarrassment or something else.
She felt a sense of ominousness suddenly surge into her heart.
"What's wrong with this thing?"
"This... this thing is..."
Unknowingly, breathing turned into wheezing, and each exhalation became more intense. Xiao Yan tried hard to control his nerves and murmured softly.
"What is it?"
Yun Zhi asked subconsciously.
"I accidentally refined... the aphrodisiac."
"Aphrodisiac?!"
