After consuming a large amount of Amethyst Liquid, Yun Li obtained a fire seal from the Purple-eyed Winged Lion Emperor. She successfully refined it and obtained the Beast Fire she needed.

Although it's only the Beast Fire of a sixth-tier magical beast, Purple Fire is still considered a relatively excellent type.

However, relying on this level of flame is still insufficient to forge truly top-quality materials. Many materials require an extremely high flame quenching temperature.

"As expected, to forge a good Precious Sword, one still needs a different kind of fire, or even the fusion of multiple different kinds of fire..."

After extinguishing the flames, Yun Li stood up.

This Beast Fire is far more powerful than ordinary flames, but it is not enough to achieve her desired goal. It seems that she can only shift her focus to the strange fire.

As for why she didn't specifically devour and Burning Severance multiple different flames, how could she fuse multiple different flames?

Yun Li wasn't worried about this.

Just because the Yaoshi in this world can Burning Severance one type of strange fire doesn't mean that she can only subdue one type of strange fire.

As one of the Flame Wheel Eight Leaves, Yun Li inherited the forging techniques of "Candle Abyss General"Huaiyan. She is in constant contact with the Primordial Flame, the leader of Heliobus, Suiren's Fire.

His mastery of fire is second to none.

Although the strange fire is powerful, it is known as the King of Flames and reigns supreme over the world.

But at this moment, through the power of the Purple Fire, Yun Li understood one thing: the so-called strange fire, at least individually, is definitely not as good as the Suiren's Fire.

Therefore, the Sword Forger living on the Zhuming Xianzhou are happy; they don't need to think about how to obtain powerful flames to forge those top-quality materials so as not to waste them.

The Suiren's Fire is a fire that surpasses the fire of the Emanator.

This fiery power was sealed within the Xianzhou Zhuming, and it provided power to the Xianzhou Zhuming for the rest of its life.

Back then, in order to defeat the Denizens of Abundance, Di Gong disregarded advice and entered the prison deep within the Zhuming Xianzhou. He persuaded the leader of Heliobus, Suihuang, who had been imprisoned there, to make a body-snatching deal with him, exchanging his own body for the assistance of Heliobus's power.

Even now, historians generally believe that the arrow that destroyed the Jianmu by the Great Bow Sovereign was delivered using the power of the Emperor Sui.

According to records, the emperor disappeared after firing the arrow that turned the tide of the battle, but Suihuang still left behind part of his body...

"Yun Li, you've finished your cultivation? I just finished grilling a lot of meat."

After Yun Li walked out of the cave, Xiao Huohuo's voice came from not far away, where he and Little Fairy Doctor were roasting a lot of monster meat.

Guh~

Upon smelling the aroma of roasted meat, Yun Li's stomach immediately rumbled.

"I'm actually hungry!"

Touching her tummy, Yun Li quickly ran over; she wouldn't hesitate or even try to eat something delicious.

Moreover, there is a lot of barbecue here, enough for even Yun Li to eat her fill.

Taking the roasted thigh meat from Little Fairy Doctor, Yun Li began to eat it heartily, disregarding her image. Xiao Huohuo and Little Fairy Doctor, standing nearby, were not surprised at all; they had already learned that she was a big eater over the past few days.

Moreover, although Yun Li eats meat without regard for her image, she is still incredibly cute in the eyes of outsiders, and no one would feel that there is anything wrong with it.

Seeing how much Yun Li was enjoying her food, their appetites also improved, and they began to eat quietly as well.

Anyway, there's plenty of meat now!

"By the way, Yun Li, these are the Monster Core of the monsters you killed before."

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Huohuo suddenly touched the storage ring in his hand and took out a large number of Monster Core, ranging from first to fifth rank.

They were piled up into a small mountain, which looked very impressive. You have to know that even a first-tier Monster Core costs several hundred gold coins.

The reason for taking out so many Monster Core was entirely because the aftershocks of Yun Li's sword strike had killed countless magical beasts.

While Yun Li was refining the Purple Fire, Xiao Huohuo and Little Fairy Doctor, not wanting to waste the value of these magical beasts, took a special trip and collected countless magical beast corpses.

Later, worried that the storage ring wouldn't be able to hold it all, he even abandoned other valuable parts of the monster and only collected the Monster Core.

This is also why there is so much monster meat here.

"So much?"

Yun Li was very surprised. Were there really so many Monster Core?

"Yes!"

Xiao Huohuo gave a wry smile.

This was all because of that little girl; with that one sword strike, countless magical beasts died in the eastern part of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

It's likely that the monster ecosystem in the eastern part of the Monster Beast Mountain Range won't recover in the short term.

He even speculated that if many magical beasts hadn't been killed by the giant sword without even leaving behind their corpses, the number of Monster Core might have been even greater.

"Then I'll just take half."

Yun Li didn't accept them all. Although she had killed them all, it would be too troublesome to collect their Monster Core one by one, and she herself was unwilling to do it.

Moreover, she wasn't the kind of person who was greedy; she accepted half, and they could divide the rest among themselves.

Seeing Yun Li's actions, Xiao Huohuo naturally didn't say anything. He wouldn't mind if Yun Li accepted everything, as what Yun Li gave him was far more than just these Monster Core.

He gave half of the remaining half of the Monster Core to Little Fairy Doctor, since she had collected it with him; otherwise, they wouldn't have finished collecting it so quickly.

After dividing it up, he then carefully collected the last portion. Although it was only a quarter, the number of Monster Core was still extremely high, enough to refine a considerable number of pills.

"Yun Li, are you really going to the Yunlan Sect?"

Recalling what had happened before, Xiao Huohuo hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking her.

"I do have this idea, but not now."

After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Li lay on Little Fairy Doctor's lap, smelling the herbal scent on her body, feeling as if she were lying on Sister Ling Sha's lap.

Back when she was on Zhuming Xianzhou, she liked to lie on Ling Sha's lap and smell the medicinal fragrance on her body.

Little Fairy Doctor is not Sister Ling Sha, and her scent is different, but both of these lap pillows are very comfortable...

Little Fairy Doctor did not object to Yun Li's preference.

A boy might feel embarrassed, but who would refuse to offer a lap pillow to such an adorable little girl like Yun Li?

Moreover, seeing the satisfied little expression on her face, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart.

Yun Li clearly knew about her poisonous body, yet she still didn't reject her and stayed so close to her—a feeling she had never experienced before.

When was that?

Xiao Huohuo didn't want Yun Li to go to the Yunlan Sect, but he didn't know what reason or status to use to persuade her. If Yun Li really joined the Yunlan Sect, their relationship would definitely be strained.

"Didn't you have a three-year agreement with that Nalan Yanran? I'll definitely go and see her when the time comes."

Hearing that Xiao Huohuo cared so much about this, Yun Li opened her big eyes and looked at him, answering calmly.

"The three-year agreement..."

So Yun Li agreed to go to the Yunlan Sect because of her three-year agreement?

This answer instantly eased Xiao Huohuo's conflicted feelings; it seemed that what he was worried about wouldn't happen.

But that Dou Huang powerhouse named Yun Yun ...

Later, he learned from Yun Li that she was actually Nalan Yanran's teacher and the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Thinking back to her previous attempt to bring Yun Li into the Yunlan Sect, coupled with this identity, and even the fact that she came here to seek amethyst from the Purple-eyed Winged Lion Emperor in order to refine medicine for his disciples.

Xiao Huohuo had even less affection for her.

However, Yun Li had still made a deal with her beforehand and handed over the amethyst to her.

Even with the amethyst and someone to help Nalan Yanran refine medicine to improve her strength, he still wouldn't lose to her.

"Okay, I'll come cheer you on then."

"I believe you can definitely defeat that Nalan Yanran."

Yun Li was absolutely certain that Xiao Huohuo would win the three-year agreement, so her tone was very sincere.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely win, and I won't let you or anyone else down."

Upon hearing Yun Li's words, Xiao Huohuo responded with equal firmness.

Even if a Dou Huang expert or the entire Yunlan Sect helped her grow, he would not be afraid in the slightest. The help he had by his side was no less than hers.

Everything that was humiliated back then, we will get back at that time.

"..."

In the following days, Xiao Huohuo also began refining the Amethyst Liquid. With the help of the Old Medicine, he could succeed without Yun Li's intervention, so no one paid too much attention to him.

Meanwhile, Yun Li was ready to say goodbye to him and leave the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

Staying here would do her no good, and she wouldn't actually follow Xiao Huohuo like a bodyguard.

Although I have a decent impression of Xiao Huohuo, I don't target him like other fanfiction writers do, and I don't even mind helping him.

But it's impossible for her to be the nanny of any main character.

Besides, she hasn't even finished completing the level yet. It's time to officially start her own plan and speed things up!

Search for the strange fire and collect more rare materials to forge the sword.

The Green Lotus Core Fire is one, but it is not Yun Li's primary target.

"Is it not over yet? If you're not leaving today, then just leave a letter and go."

Several days passed, and Yun Li looked towards the cave and discovered that Xiao Huohuo had not yet refined the Amethyst Liquid and emerged from seclusion with the Purple Fire.

I had originally planned to wait for him to come out so I could say goodbye in person, but now I couldn't wait any longer.

Of course, all of these reasons are secondary. The reason Yun Li was willing to wait several days to say goodbye to him in person was because he had promised to make her the skewers.

I'm leaving now, and I still haven't paid back the skewers Xiao Huohuo promised me.

We're still short half of her quantity.

That despicable guy...

She even said that she would take care of all the skewers she had ever bought, and that she hadn't even paid back the skewers she owed him.

These words were indeed not to be believed.

So Yun Li waited until the next day, but Xiao Huohuo still showed no sign of coming out, and Yun Li finally couldn't wait any longer.

She left a letter next to the cave and then prepared to leave the Monster Beast Mountain Range, as she was already tired of staying there.

However, after she turned around and took a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, and a mischievous look appeared on her face, or rather, the look of a sly person like Sparkle.

Come to think of it, I almost forgot that Xiao Huohuo is not a native of this world; he is a transmigrator.

And since he's a time traveler from Earth, why not leave him with a little surprise?

Yun Li returned to the letter, picked it up, and added a few more sentences. The gist of it was that she had left him a few things as a memento, and that he shouldn't forget the string of beads he had promised her, which he must return the next time they met.

After writing the content, Yun Li put the paper back into the envelope and weighed it down with a small stone.

Then, he took out three bottles of soda from his system space: Sulleta, canned Happy Water, and Punishment Energy that was exactly the same as "Pulse".

Although these are beverages from the Star Rail Universe, they are no different from Fanta, Coca-Cola, and Pulse energy drinks in the real world.

Then Yun Li thought about it again and decided to leave him a flip phone that had no signal, which she had bought in the Geats world.

In Japan, apart from Apple, most people prefer flip phones, so they have never been phased out by the times.

Yun Li left the phone and three bottles of soda to Xiao Huohuo as souvenirs, then put her hands on her hips and nodded in satisfaction.

I wonder what Xiao Huohuo's reaction will be when he sees these things after he comes out of seclusion?

It must be very interesting, right?

Remembrance of his past life suddenly attacked him.

After all these years, Xiao Huohuo has probably almost forgotten about his previous life on Earth.

Although he couldn't see Xiao Huohuo's reaction, he was sure that Xiao Huohuo would behave very unusually when they met again.

You might ask yourself what's going on.

"Very good, that's exactly how I want it, to make you anxious and overthink things..."

"That'll teach you a lesson for not giving me back my skewers!"
