Treating Gu He

Before recounting his experiences, Gu He glanced at Xiao Ming with considerable envy, then asked...

"Master Xiao Ming, you should possess Heavenly Flames, right?"

"What? He has Heavenly Flames?!" Liu Ling, who was standing next to him, was shocked when he heard this. As Gu He's disciple, he knew very well how precious Heavenly Flames were. His teacher Gu He, had been attacked by someone who was jealous of his precious Heavenly Flames and ended up in this state.

Yun Yun, who was standing next to her, was also somewhat surprised.

However, Yun Yun thought that Xiao Ming was already Dou Zong at his current age, and such a being was probably even rarer than Heavenly Flames in the Dou Qi Continent.

Then I wasn't so surprised anymore.

Upon suddenly hearing Gu He mention the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Ming was only slightly taken aback. After a moment's thought, he realized that Gu He must have revealed it when he was refining pills for others.

"I do possess Heavenly Flames. You discovered it two years ago when I was refining the Breaking Sect Pill for the Jia Ma Imperial Family, right?" Xiao Ming nodded calmly and asked.

"I did discover it around that time, and Guild Master Fa Ma also discovered it then." Gu He smiled wryly and continued, "To be honest, I've been searching for the Heavenly Flames all these years. I've searched almost every strange place in the Jia Ma Empire for it, but I still haven't found it."

"After discovering that you possess Heavenly Flames, my desire for Heavenly Flames grew even stronger, so I increased the time and scope of my search for Heavenly Flames."

"Persistence pays off, and I finally succeeded in finding the Heavenly Flames — Wind Fury Dragon Flame— in the Tagor Desert. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼"

"Wind Fury Dragon Flame?" Xiao Ming blinked when he heard Gu He utter these few words.

He never expected that Gu He would actually encounter the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. You know, the probability of encountering this Heavenly Flames is even smaller than winning the lottery.

He searched frantically in the Simulator but couldn't find a trace of Guhe. Gu He's luck was truly unbelievable.

"I exerted all my strength to barely manage to capture the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, then left the Tagor Desert and went to a mountain range on the outskirts of the desert, intending to devour it."

"Over the years I've been searching for the Heavenly Flames, and I've prepared all the necessary items. Just as I was concentrating on absorbing it, a man in black robes suddenly burst in and attacked me while I wasn't paying attention."

When Gu He spoke of the man in black robes, his voice trembled slightly, whether from anger or excitement, it was hard to tell.

"The location I chose was absolutely secluded, and I even shielded myself from Aura. That damned man in black robes must have been watching me all along."

"The man in black robes was quite strong. He ambushed me and I was severely injured. He also stole my Wind Fury Dragon Flame. If it weren't for some trump card to save my life, I probably wouldn't have been able to return to the Misty Cloud Sect. However, even if I had returned, I would have suffered injuries that are difficult to heal."

As he spoke, Gu He slowly removed his upper body clothing, revealing extremely horrific burns on his right side, with prominent blue veins protruding from his skin, and faint White Crystal seemingly flashing across them.

"The person who attacked me also possessed Heavenly Flames; these are the injuries he inflicted."

As if afraid of being misunderstood, Gu He added another sentence.

"I didn't mean anything by it, but the Aura of that Heavenly Flames is completely different from Aura of Master Xiao Ming's Heavenly Flames."

Listening to Gu He's story, Xiao Ming couldn't help but shake his head.

Gu He was truly unlucky. He finally had a stroke of luck and found a Heavenly Flames, but before he could even enjoy it, it was stolen and he was injured in the process.

"So, your injury was caused by Heavenly Flames, and it just won't heal, right? Is there anything unusual about it?"

"There's a White Crystal in my body, probably formed by a special technique using Heavenly Flames. It's constantly draining my Dou Qi. When I take pills, it absorbs their medicinal power. I suspect the person who attacked me was an Advanced Alchemist."

Xiao Ming: "..."

The more I talk about it, the more it feels like I've seen it before.

Let me investigate.

Xiao Ming placed his hand on Gu He's arm and infiltrated it with his Soul Power.

Instantly, he became very clear about Gu He's physical condition.

As Gu He had described, there were indeed many White Crystal in his burned body. These crystals were hot and cold, attached to his meridians, blood vessels, and bones. When some Fire Attribute Dou Qi passed by, it would be captured by them.

Having ascertained Gu He's physical condition, Xiao Ming withdrew his hand and opened his eyes.

"Master Xiao Ming, how is this injury? Is it easy to treat?" Yun Yun asked.

Xiao Ming didn't answer, but instead asked Gu He, "What do you think is the best treatment?"

"If it were me, I could refine a Sixth Rank healing pill containing Cold Attribute Dou Qi. That way, when those small ice crystals absorb the medicinal power, they would be easily frozen and neutralized, and there would be no danger of the small ice crystals being triggered and burning."

"What you said is indeed a method, but I have an even simpler approach: I can use Heavenly Flames to directly devour the crystals in your body," Xiao Ming said slowly.

Gu He was startled, then laughed, "I almost forgot about the function of the Heavenly Flames. Your method is indeed more convenient."

As he spoke, Gu He felt an increasing loathing for the black-robed man who had stolen his Heavenly Flames.

If it were a fair competition, and someone else took the Heavenly Flames, Gu He wouldn't say anything. But to ambush him while he was devouring the Heavenly Flames, steal it from him, and even cause him serious injuries—who the hell could tolerate that?

"Now that Xiao Ming has a solution, we would like to ask Master to lend a hand. After the matter is settled, my Misty Cloud Sect will offer you a reward that will satisfy you," Yun Yun said, standing up.

"It's nothing." Xiao Ming shook his head dismissively, then said, "You can go out now."

Yun Yun and Liu Ling naturally had no objection to this, and the two quickly left the room.

Inside the room, Xiao Ming slowly raised his right hand, and a wisp of Red Flame appeared in his hand.

Looking at the flame in Xiao Ming's hand, Gu He could hardly contain his envy.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming didn't keep the Heavenly Flames outside to stimulate Gu He. Instead, he flipped his hand and directly slapped it into Gu He's body.

Suddenly struck by this blow, Gu He let out a muffled groan, and his body trembled violently.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you to prepare." Seeing Gu He's pained expression, Xiao Ming said apologetically.

He didn't do it on purpose. Gu He's reaction to the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame had left him speechless, so he wanted to finish quickly.

"It's alright, you can continue," Gu He said, forcing back the pain.

"Good."

With a serious expression, Xiao Ming placed his finger on Gu He's back. He controlled the wisp of Red Flame with his Soul Power, quickly traversing through some main meridians and gradually approaching the meridians and bones in Gu He's body that were covered by White Crystal.

As the flames approached, the white ice crystals showed signs of being triggered, but they were quickly engulfed by the flames and disappeared.

After devouring the crystals of one region, the Red Flame will quickly move on to the next region, and time will slowly pass in the process.
