Life Spirit Seed Flame, Body Tempering Fluid

Life Spirit Seed Flame, Body Tempering Fluid

After driving off that obnoxious fellow, Yao Wan let out a breath of relief.

Now things were comfortable. With no one around to bother her, she was happy to have some peace.

After raising her hand and temporarily covering the entire guest room with Dou Qi, Yao Wan lowered her beautiful head and slowly lifted her fingertip. A wisp of azure green light followed the young girl's lotus arm and climbed onto her fingertip.

Then the azure green color gradually shifted from a deep azure into a greener shade filled with more vitality.

Only, that touch of green was truly limited, like a fragile candleflame swaying all alone in the wind, as though it might go out at any moment.

Yao Wan said nothing. She merely continued to pour in her Dou Qi in silence, nourishing this excessively fragile flame.

...No, though it was a wondrous object, right now it was far too weak.

Rather than call it a flame, it was more like a tiny spark of seed flame.

This was the Life Spirit Flame seed flame Yao Wan had obtained from the Clan Leader.

As for this strange flame that ranked fifth on the Strange Fire Ranking, Yao Wan herself knew very little. She had only learned from the Clan Leader's scattered words that this Strange Fire possessed a vigorous life force unique among all Strange Fires, and was even the Strange Fire that alchemists dreamed of obtaining.

The reason was not that it could greatly increase the success rate of refining pills like ordinary Strange Fires, but that its vigorous life force could spontaneously nurture all sorts of Spirit Medicines, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

In other words, with the Life Spirit Flame, one could obtain an inexhaustible supply of Spirit Medicines.

Although the Life Spirit Flame did not possess powerful destructive force, its effects alone were enough to make people flock to it.

Unfortunately, the Life Spirit Flame in her hand was not a complete Life Spirit Flame. At best, it was only a wisp of seed flame.

And even this weak seed flame had cost the Yao Clan an enormous price to obtain from that Life Spirit Flame's holder, Old Man Shen Nong.

After all, once one had a seed flame, there was a possibility of turning that seed flame into another Strange Fire.

Though that hope was exceedingly slim, Yao Wan's talent and ability were enough to make the Clan Leader and the entire Yao Clan give it their all.

Therefore, aside from her daily cultivation, Yao Wan had spent a very long period nourishing the Life Spirit Flame inside her body.

The Life Spirit Flame symbolized thriving vitality, so naturally it was not as violent as other Strange Fires. However, it was not so easy to subdue either. The reason Yao Wan could use a wisp of Life Spirit Seed Flame while only at the Dou Wang realm was still because it was overly weak, allowing her to refine it early and take it for her own use.

Only, nourishing the seed flame and igniting the Strange Fire was ultimately not such an easy thing.

Yao Wan, who had always been using her own lifeline to nourish the Life Spirit Seed Flame, also understood that haste made waste, so she no longer clung to that wisp of flame all day long without letting go as she had at the very beginning.

Apart from this, aside from dull daily cultivation, Yao Wan inevitably dealt with all kinds of medicinal herbs.

Although she did not like refining pills, she still had some interest in tinkering with medicinal ingredients.

Ever since fleeing the Shennong Mountain Range, what she did most often was make strange and unusual medicines, which always managed to cure some stubborn illnesses that the locals believed were already incurable.

It was no wonder she had eventually been given the nickname Medicine Fairy.

Only, even now, Yao Wan herself did not like this title all that much.

She had worked so hard to save you, and then once it was over, you all wished everyone had a horn growing from their mouth so they could go around proclaiming her glorious deeds.

Repaying kindness with enmity, were you?

After cultivating for the whole night, even when the sun was high in the sky, Yao Wan felt no fatigue at all. Instead, on a momentary impulse, she once again took several common medicinal ingredients from her storage ring. Her five slender fingers merely curved slightly, drawing out a trace of Dou Qi flame.

With just a flick of her finger, she tossed those medicinal ingredients into the Dou Qi flame, refining a trace of crystal-clear azure medicinal liquid.

To Yao Wan, who possessed a Heaven Realm Soul, refining such a simple medicinal liquid was something she could do with a single thought even while asleep.

After all, a Heaven Realm Soul itself represented a mysterious realm that many alchemists who had yet to reach the peak would not even dare imagine, to say nothing of its wondrous uses.

As for why she refined this kind of medicinal liquid that was of no use to her, to Yao Wan, it could mostly only be considered a hobby.

After all, compared to dull pill refinement, taking pill formulas left behind by predecessors and following them step by step, refining medicine only to raise her own realm, was inevitably a bit too boring and tedious for Yao Wan, who had already devoted the vast majority of her time entirely to cultivation.

To her, it was far more interesting to simply refine some odd but sufficiently effective Spirit Medicines at random for a momentary interest.

At least it could be counted as doing a little good deed.

Although Yao Wan herself did not know whether doing good on the Dou Qi Continent could actually accumulate merit.

Who cared~~

Just as Yao Wan was thinking this, a knock sounded from outside the door.

"Is Wan Guniang here?"

The voice from outside the door was Xiao Yan's.

Yao Wan silently put on her bamboo hat, then cleared her throat. "Mm, come in."

Only then did Xiao Yan push open the door. But the moment he entered, the faint medicinal fragrance in the room stole away the thoughts he had just had.

He almost froze at the doorway, simply letting the medicinal fragrance rush into his nose.

"...It smells so good. Wan Guniang, were you refining medicine?"

Only, as he had just pushed the door open and entered, that faint medicinal fragrance soon gradually dispersed in the breeze that poured into the room.

Remembering that medicinal fragrance from earlier, so utterly different from the scent of flowers and rouge, Xiao Yan's question naturally surged up in his mind.

"Mm."

Yao Wan did not deny it. She merely extended her slender jade fingers and caught that small snow-white jade bottle.

"I was idle and had nothing to do, so I casually refined some Body Tempering Fluid for fun. Its grade isn't exactly too high, that's all."

"...If you want it, I don't mind giving it to you."

As she spoke to herself, Yao Wan happened to recall that Xiao Yan's current cultivation was low, and that his Dou Qi was only at a pitiful third stage, so she said, "But if your body is a little weak, use it in three portions. Although it can't be said to have any significant effect on cultivating Dou Qi, it can strengthen your physique and nourish your meridians."

Before Xiao Yan could react, he saw the white jade bottle flying toward him.

He could only fumble about and catch that small jade bottle.

"Miss Wan... this..."

"I already said I'm giving it to you. How could I have any reason to take it back?"

A trace of amusement seeped into Yao Wan's tone. She was actually rather curious. If there was a butterfly like herself around, then with Xiao Yan's talent and potential, would he soar to the skies after only two years of silence?

Yao Wan was especially curious about this point.
