Chapter Summaries

Wei Yang refined medicine with his newly acquired Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame while Elder Yao assessed its power and potential. As Elder Yao explained how Heavenly Flame rankings reflected growth potential, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan questioned why the Yin-Yang Twin Flames and Mysterious Yellow Flame ranked so low.

Wei Yang and Elder Yao planned to weaken the Green Lotus Core Flame so Xiao Yan could safely refine it, settling on reducing it to roughly Dou Wang strength. Ten days later, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan arrived at Lake Heart Island, where they found a pool of Ice Spirit Cold Spring and met the commander of Medusa’s guard.
