Dad Come!

Three years. The Dragon Scorching Pain had plagued Tang Huo'er for three years.

The ingredients for the Fire Bodhi Pill had yet to be gathered, much less refined.

Tang Huo'er did not know how much longer she would have to endure.

She had thought she was used to it.

But when Yang Shan placed his hand on her stomach, she finally understood.

Being able to endure suffering was strength of character; not wanting to suffer was instinct.

In his previous life, Yang Shan had learned the specific mysteries of the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame from Tang Huo'er.

The birth of every Heaven and Earth Oddity was the "result" of the Might of Heaven and Earth interacting with special conditions. They were generally very difficult to cultivate artificially.

Take the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame, for instance. Its birthplace had to be somewhere permeated with dragon aura, usually where a powerful dragon had fallen.

Then, lightning containing a trace of the Might of Heaven and Earth, yet not enough to qualify as Strange Lightning, had to descend from the skies.
