Purple Orchid Heart Flame

Following Dugu Bo's description, Li Tianlan immediately found the patterns of various Heavenly Flames within Dao Tong Yan's fan.

Sure enough, a flame resembling a purple orchid was prominently among them.

It was the ninety-seventh-ranked Heavenly Flame—Purple Orchid Heart Flame.

As a Heavenly Flame, Purple Orchid Heart Flame possessed considerable power, roughly comparable to the ninety-first-ranked Earth Core Green Lotus Flame.

If he could obtain it, he could combine it with Nether Flame to form an entirely new Heavenly Flame.

Yangquan Fire and Bone Spirit Cold Flame were of too high a grade; they were not flames Li Tianlan could fuse at his current level.

Fusing Heavenly Flames was far more difficult than combining them to form Buddha's Fury Lotus Flame.

For a moment, Li Tianlan's face was filled with wild delight.

He looked eagerly at Dugu Bo and asked impatiently, "Grandpa Dugu, the flame you mentioned should be Purple Orchid Heart Flame. It is also a Heavenly Flame. I want to go take a look—perhaps I can obtain it!"

"No, that place is very strange!"

Dugu Bo seemed to recall something. He frowned slightly and said, "There are many unknown regions across Douluo Continent, and that place is one of them. A Titled Douluo once vanished there.

"Moreover, once that flame touches you, unless you cut away the affected flesh, it burns whatever it encounters. In the blink of an eye, it can reduce a person to ashes!"

Hearing this, Li Tianlan calmed down.

He did not know everything about Douluo Continent. For instance, he had never heard of the place Dugu Bo had mentioned.

It seemed that even the original novel had never mentioned it.

That was not strange. Douluo Continent was simply too vast; it was only natural for there to be some strange and unusual places.

Within the Spirit Ocean, Xiao Yan spoke. "Kid, if I'm not mistaken, that should be one of Purple Orchid Heart Flame's abilities."

Li Tianlan froze. "Teacher, you know?"

"Just a guess."

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said softly, "Different Heavenly Flames generally possess different abilities, and their habitats are entirely different as well.

"For example, Earth Core Green Lotus Flame resides deep within the earth. Falling Heart Flame can remove impurities from one's Dou Qi and refine one's cultivation.

"And Purple Orchid Heart Flame... should be related to spiritual power!

"Even among Titled Douluo, unless they specialize in spiritual power, their Soul Power is quite weak!"

"Spiritual power?"

Li Tianlan's eyes lit up as he said in delight, "Isn't that our specialty?"

"Correct!"

Xiao Yan chuckled confidently. "In terms of soul strength alone, even you are far stronger than a Titled Douluo!

"And from the information I obtained from Dao Tong Yan, I could vaguely sense a trace of Purple Orchid Heart Flame's aura. It specializes in attacking the soul!

"If you can obtain this flame, both of our Soul Power will soar!"

"Wonderful!"

A smile spread across Li Tianlan's face.

Just when he thought there was no way forward, a new path appeared.

He had originally been prepared to give up, but now it seemed... finding Purple Orchid Heart Flame might not be impossible after all.

Seeing that Li Tianlan was not only unafraid but actually smiling, Dugu Bo was greatly surprised.

He asked curiously, "Kid, you aren't afraid?"

"Mm, I know a little about this kind of Heavenly Flame."

Li Tianlan nodded and explained, "Purple Orchid Heart Flame is a flame related to spiritual power. Even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to resist unless they specialized in spiritual power.

"Before this flame, the difference between a Titled Douluo and an ordinary person is not actually that great."

"So that's how it is!"

Dugu Bo suddenly understood and muttered to himself, "No wonder my soul felt a stabbing pain when I encountered that Heavenly Flame before."

"Grandpa Dugu, do you know the exact location of Purple Orchid Heart Flame? I want to try my luck."

Li Tianlan spoke bluntly. "This flame would be greatly beneficial to my Martial Soul Evolution."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo pondered for a moment before saying, "All right, kid. I'll tell you the exact location of that place. But... shouldn't you make some preparations first? I don't have many Detoxification Pills left."

"I forgot about that." Li Tianlan scratched his head awkwardly.

Just then, Dugu Yan ran over.

Seeing the devastated ground, she was instantly dumbfounded. "I heard some commotion over here, so I rushed over... What exactly happened? Could a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast have attacked?"

Li Tianlan was speechless. This girl really had quite the imagination.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, seriously?

Where were there so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts on all of Douluo Continent?

Dugu Bo coughed twice, then suddenly remembered something. Turning to Li Tianlan, he asked, "By the way, kid, can your method of controlling Heavenly Flames be passed on to others? I want Yan Yan to learn it too!"

"Passed on to others?"

Li Tianlan looked at Dugu Bo and fell into thought.

He now possessed Fen Jue. Theoretically, if Dugu Yan cultivated it, she could devour and refine Heavenly Flames!

At the very least, she could use an Alchemist's methods to tame a Heavenly Flame!

However, during that process—

The danger was exceptionally high. A single mistake could result in her being burned to ashes by a Heavenly Flame.

Thinking this, Li Tianlan looked up at Dugu Bo and said, "Grandpa Dugu, theoretically, Yan Yan can learn to use Heavenly Flames.

"However, unlike me, she does not possess a fire Martial Soul and can only use other methods to devour and refine them.

"The process is extremely dangerous. Taking the Nether Flame in my possession as an example, Yan Yan currently has only a one percent chance of successfully devouring and refining it. There is a ninety-nine percent chance that she will be burned to ashes!

"Furthermore, Heavenly Flames devour and repel one another!

"Just like the fire lotus I use!"

"So that's how it is!"

Dugu Bo nodded slightly. In truth, he had vaguely guessed this possibility.

Besides, even if she could devour one—

Mandala Snakes and fire attributes inherently countered one another.

High-temperature flames had a tremendous effect on snake venom!

Having a Heavenly Flame within her body might affect her future cultivation.

Standing to the side, Dugu Yan was quite interested in these so-called Heavenly Flames. She tugged on Li Tianlan's arm and asked sweetly, "I want to use Heavenly Flames too. Teach me, will you?"

"This..."

Li Tianlan lowered his head in thought. In truth, he was using their spiritual link to ask Xiao Yan, Teacher, do you think I should pass Fen Jue on to Dugu Yan?

"It would be best not to. This path is too difficult!"

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and sighed. "Back then, I nearly died several times. Calling it a life-and-death ordeal would not be an exaggeration.

"However, an Alchemist cannot do without Heavenly Flames.

"With my current abilities, it would not be a problem to let this little girl devour a Heavenly Flame! The Ice Spring within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is just right for refining Ice Spirit Pills!"
