Heavenly Flame Plan!

"No wonder it's the greatest Exotic Pupils in the world!"

Looking at the Fire Spirit Snake rubbing against his leg below, as though begging its master for affection, Yan Lin's handsome face broke into a smile. Inwardly, he marveled that the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils truly deserved to be called the greatest Exotic Pupils on the Dou Qi Continent.

"With these Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, I can control even more high-ranking snake-type magical beasts and become the King of Beast Tamers!"

Watching the formerly ferocious fourth-tier Fire Spirit Snake turn utterly adorable and docile, like an obedient pet, Yan Lin began to entertain the idea of becoming a Beast Tamer as well.

From now on, whenever someone displeased him, or he wanted to secretly deal with someone or destroy a faction, he would not need to act personally. Wouldn't it be wonderful to casually set snakes loose to bite people?

The key was that having multiple identities made things easier.

He was an alchemist, but he could also be a Beast Tamer. Later, he could even become a Poison Master... If he wanted to do anything shady in the future, he could simply switch identities.

The Beast Tamer did it. What did it have to do with me, the alchemist?

Just thinking about it felt delightfully criminal!

"However, if I want to control more—and higher-tier—snake-type magical beasts, I'll have to strengthen my Soul Power and become more proficient with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

Over the years, Yan Lin had specifically searched for quite a few cultivation manuals related to the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, but regrettably, they had all been very limited.

After much exploration, he had only confirmed that the Pupil Power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was actually closely tied to Soul Power.

Generally, only those whose Soul Power far surpassed the host's could quickly react after falling under the influence of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Furthermore, the Pupil Power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils exerted the strongest control over snake-type magical beasts. As for creatures other than snakes, although they could not be controlled, their souls could still be affected.

When Yan Lin had controlled the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake just now, he had also felt his Soul Power being heavily depleted. All of this was enough to prove that the Pupil Power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils had some sort of connection with Soul Power.

Or rather, the strength of Pupil Power depended on the strength of Soul Power.

Of course, this was only Yan Lin's speculation.

His Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils had not fully matured yet. There might be other factors involved, such as a connection to his own cultivation.

Yan Lin knew very well that once the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils fully matured, they could form a space within the eyes and gain other abilities as well.

However, he could not do that yet.

It might be related to his cultivation, or perhaps because he lacked the relevant cultivation inheritance...

"I can slowly train my eye techniques later. Right now... I should make this big fellow smaller first, so it'll be easier to take away."

Although Yan Lin wanted to practice using the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils a little more, this was not a suitable testing ground. Hai Bodong could return at any time, and Yan Lin also wanted to take the opportunity to test the Beast Fire experiment from before. Thus, he decided to put away the adorable, dazed Fire Spirit Snake beside him first.

He released the Pupil Power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils once more. Instantly, the small green flower on the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's forehead burst forth with brilliant jade-green light.

In the blink of an eye, the Fire Spirit Snake's massive body rapidly shrank. Then it transformed into a streak of jade-green light and shot into Yan Lin's sleeve.

Watching the Fire Spirit Snake, several zhang long moments ago, turn into something the size of a bracelet and coil around his wrist, Yan Lin could not help but marvel at the wonder of it.

This was his first time experiencing something so novel.

But once the novelty wore off, it no longer seemed like much.

After surveying his surroundings and using his Soul Perception to confirm once more that there were no other dangers in the magma world, Yan Lin finally tapped on Zhang Xiaofan's attribute panel and copied his Beast Fire, the Dry Blue Ice Flame.

Boom!

Yan Lin's body suddenly stiffened. Then he sensed a cluster of icy-blue flames inexplicably appear within his Dantian.

The moment the icy-blue flame appeared, the Dou Qi vortex in his Dantian began spinning rapidly on its own as if provoked. As its rotation intensified, clusters of icy-blue flames were flung out from within the vortex.

The blue flames that were flung out seemed to have no intention of resisting at all. They allowed Yan Lin's crimson Dou Qi to engulf them completely, meekly allowing the crimson Dou Qi to pull them along as they circulated through the meridians according to his cultivation technique...

"The copied Beast Fire actually helps refine itself automatically?"

Sensing the changes within his body, Yan Lin was both shocked and delighted.

Just like when he fused bloodlines, this Beast Fire would automatically assist with fusion, as though he were cultivating while idle.

This Golden Finger was freaking incredible!

Yan Lin laughed and praised it before sinking his consciousness back into his body to observe.

As time passed, the cluster of Dry Blue Ice Flame was gradually fused perfectly by Yan Lin, and his Dou Qi changed along with it.

Fwoosh!

Yan Lin opened his right hand, and icy-blue tangible flames suddenly flared up from his palm.

He began controlling the flames and testing the power of the Dry Blue Ice Flame.

Yan Lin discovered that he could control this Beast Fire as he pleased, and its power was stronger than the tangible flames he condensed with Dou Qi.

However, it was not much stronger. Although his strength had improved, the increase was clearly not great.

"Beast Fire can fuse perfectly right away, but controlling it still requires my own practice. Still, that's nothing."

"It's just that this fourth-tier Beast Fire is still too weak. The boost is too small... If I replaced it with a Heavenly Flame..."

The sudden thought immediately sent Yan Lin's mind racing.

If Beast Fire could fuse perfectly, then if Heavenly Flames could do the same, he would not need medicinal pills to assist with devouring them, nor would he need to endure agonizing refinement. He could directly obtain the effects of devouring and refining a Heavenly Flame.

That was simply too bugged!

A blazing gleam flashed in Yan Lin's pale violet eyes, and a bold plan surfaced in his mind.

"If Heavenly Flames can work this way too, then fused Heavenly Flames certainly can as well. In that case, I don't need to rush to refine the Green Lotus Core Flame."

Yan Lin, who had originally intended to use the Green Lotus Core Flame and other preparations to break through to the Dou Wang realm, had now changed his mind.

If he wanted to devour the Green Lotus Core Flame, he needed to prepare three essential items.

The first was Naling.

The second was the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

The third was a fifth-tier medicinal pill like the Blood Lotus Pill, one that could assist in refining a Heavenly Flame.

These were the three things that had to be prepared before devouring a Heavenly Flame.

Yan Lin had obtained Naling from Qi Yunxiao. As for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, he could mobilize the Snake People Clan's power to search for it.

But Yan Lin could not yet refine that fifth-tier medicinal pill, and he would also need time to gather the necessary medicinal ingredients.

Yan Lin felt that rather than painstakingly preparing to devour and refine a Heavenly Flame himself, he might as well make proper use of his Golden Finger and obtain it from someone else.

The first person Yan Lin thought of was Xiao Huohuo.

That was a very fine chive.

He only needed to wait for a while, then secretly use the Chive Grand Plundering Technique on him.

Then he would have milk, and he would have bread.

Just thinking about it felt amazing!

Yan Lin felt that this was the proper way to use his Golden Finger.

"No matter what, Heavenly Flames are worth trying. But I can't possibly hand the Heavenly Flame over to Xiao Yan for free. I still need to make good use of the Green Lotus Core Flame."

Thinking of what was about to happen in the future, Yan Lin already had a plan in mind.

If his Heavenly Flame idea truly succeeded, and everything proceeded as he expected, Yan Lin felt that his path of cultivation in the future would become even smoother!
