"Calculating feedback..."
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Turtle Spirit Earth Flame, ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."
Seeing these two rewards, Xiao Chen smiled.
Fallen Heart Flame.
Turtle Spirit Earth Flame.
Both Heavenly Flames ranked higher than the Green Lotus Core Flame.
As he pondered this, the system's voice rang out again.
"Ding, calculating additional feedback..."
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: tier-six pill formula, Barrier Breaking Pill."
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: tier-six pill formula, Spirit Recovery Pill."
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: tier-six pill formula, Soul Condensing Pill."
Xiao Chen looked at the row of rewards on the system panel, his heart filled with satisfaction.
Two Heavenly Flames.
Three tier-six pill formulas.
This trip to the Tagor Desert had been more than worth it.
He closed his eyes and sensed the two Heavenly Flames within his body.
The Fallen Heart Flame and Turtle Spirit Earth Flame floated quietly within his dantian.
One red and one blue, the two flames intertwined.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a glint flashing through them.
With these two Heavenly Flames, his strength had risen considerably once more.
Wutan City, Xiao Clan guest quarters.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were arranged in two adjacent guest rooms.
Xiao Yi Xian set down her bundle and looked around.
The room was not large, but it was kept very clean.
She walked to the window and pushed it open.
Outside lay the Xiao Clan courtyard, where several clan disciples were cultivating on the training grounds.
Xiao Yi Xian watched them, thinking of Xiao Chen.
Qing Lin sat in her own room as the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake poked its two little heads out from her sleeve and looked around.
She gently stroked its head.
Qing Lin softly instructed it about something, and the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake nodded as though it only half understood.
A smile appeared on Qing Lin's face.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands resting flat on his knees.
He closed his eyes and activated the Dou Qi within his body.
A crimson flame appeared in his left palm, while a blue flame appeared in his right.
Fallen Heart Flame.
Turtle Spirit Earth Flame.
The two Heavenly Flames burned quietly in his palms, radiating a terrifying heat.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the two flames in his hands.
A thought surfaced in his mind.
Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.
Xiao Yan's signature Dou Technique in the original story.
It fused two Heavenly Flames together, unleashing power far beyond that of a single Heavenly Flame.
When Heavenly Flames merged, their power multiplied, producing an explosive force comparable to a nuclear bomb.
Anticipation flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes.
Just how powerful would the fusion of two Heavenly Flames be?
He truly wanted to find out.
But this was not the place to test it.
Xiao Chen withdrew the two Heavenly Flames and began planning.
Tomorrow, he would make a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and find a magical beast to test the power of the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.
As he was thinking, a voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Xiao Chen."
It was Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Chen rose to his feet, pushed open the door, and walked out.
Xiao Xun'er stood in the courtyard, dressed in a pale green gown, her long black hair draped over her shoulders.
When she saw Xiao Chen emerge, a smile appeared on her face.
"I heard you went to Shimo City," Xiao Xun'er said.
"Mm," Xiao Chen replied.
"Did you see your eldest and second brothers?" Xiao Xun'er asked.
"I did," Xiao Chen said. "They're both doing well."
Xiao Xun'er nodded.
She paused before asking another question.
"Who are the two girls who came back with you?"
Xiao Chen glanced at her.
"Xiao Yi Xian, a physician from Qingshan Town."
"Qing Lin, whom I met in Shimo City."
Xiao Xun'er nodded and did not ask further.
Yet an imperceptible complexity flickered in her eyes.
Two girls.
One was delicately beautiful, while the other was obedient and adorable.
Xiao Chen had gone out once and returned with two girls.
Xiao Xun'er felt a little sour inside.
But she did not show it.
"Get some proper rest. I'll head back first," Xiao Xun'er said.
Xiao Chen gave a quiet acknowledgment.
Xiao Xun'er turned and left the Side Courtyard.
Xiao Chen watched her departing figure without saying anything.
Night fell.
Xiao Chen left the Side Courtyard and headed toward the guest rooms.
He arrived outside Xiao Yi Xian's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Xiao Yi Xian's voice came from inside.
Xiao Chen pushed the door open and entered.
Xiao Yi Xian sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.
Seeing that it was Xiao Chen, she quickly got down from the bed.
"Xiao Chen, why are you here?"
Xiao Chen looked at her.
"Tomorrow, I plan to make a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
Xiao Yi Xian looked at him.
"To the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"
"Mm, to find some medicinal herbs and refine pills for you and Qing Lin."
"They might help improve your strength."
Hearing this, gratitude flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.
"Xiao Chen... thank you."
Xiao Chen waved a hand.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Fine."
Xiao Chen turned and left the room.
Xiao Yi Xian watched his back, warmth rising in her heart.
Xiao Chen arrived outside Qing Lin's room and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly.
Qing Lin stood in the doorway. When she saw Xiao Chen, a smile appeared on her face.
"Young Master Xiao Chen."
The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake poked its two little heads out from her sleeve, but the moment it saw Xiao Chen, it immediately shrank back inside.
It held an instinctive fear of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at Qing Lin and spoke.
"Come with me to the Magical Beast Mountain Range tomorrow."
Qing Lin froze for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright."
She did not ask what they were going there for.
If Young Master Xiao Chen told her to go, then she would go.
Xiao Chen said nothing further and turned to leave.
Early the next morning.
Xiao Chen stepped out of his room to find Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin already waiting outside the courtyard.
"Let's go," Xiao Chen said.
The two girls nodded and followed behind him.
The three of them left the Xiao Clan and departed Wutan City.
Xiao Chen activated the Dou Qi within his body, grabbed Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, then kicked off the ground and shot into the sky.
They flew toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Xiao Chen landed on the ground.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin steadied themselves and looked around.
They had already reached the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The surrounding trees were tall and dense, blotting out the sky and sun.
The air was filled with a damp scent.
Xiao Chen walked ahead, with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin following behind him.
The three had not walked long before a deep roar suddenly sounded ahead.
A massive magical beast burst from the undergrowth.
A fifth-tier magical beast, a Shadow Black Ape.
It was enormous, over ten meters long, its entire body pitch-black, its beast eyes glimmering eerily.
It moved and lunged toward Qing Lin.
Qing Lin's expression changed, and she instinctively took a step back.
Xiao Chen stood in front of her.
He raised both hands. Fallen Heart Flame emerged in his left hand, while Turtle Spirit Earth Flame appeared in his right.
One red and one blue, the two flames burned in his palms.
The red and blue flames intertwined, condensing into an exquisite fire lotus.
The fire lotus slowly spun, radiating an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Chen sent the fire lotus flying toward the Shadow Black Ape.
Sensing the terrifying presence behind it, the Shadow Black Ape fled desperately.
But the fire lotus was incredibly fast, catching up to it in the blink of an eye.
The fire lotus landed on its body.
Boom.
A deafening explosion rang out.
Flames shot into the sky as scorching waves swept in all directions.
Moments later, its body lay at the bottom of a crater, charred black all over and utterly lifeless.
Xiao Yi Xian stared at the scene, completely stunned.
A fifth-tier magical beast had just died like that?
What rank was the Dou Technique Xiao Chen had used just now? How could it possess such terrifying power?
