After thinking for a moment, Gu Xun'er suddenly said, "Brother Gu Fengchen, can you play with Xun'er for a while?"

"Of course. What does little sister Xun'er want to play?"

Gu Xun'er widened her innocent eyes and said to Gu Fengchen with an utterly guileless expression, "Brother Gu Fengchen, be a horse and let Xun'er ride you, okay?"

Gu Fengchen: "..."

The horse-riding game ended quickly.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er suddenly fell quiet and simply lay silently in Gu Fengchen's arms.

In truth, Gu Xun'er merely wanted to lie in Gu Fengchen's arms a little longer before they parted.

Yet when she lay in the young man's embrace, she felt an unprecedented sense of security. Gu Xun'er had only intended to pretend to sleep, but she soon truly drifted off.

Gu Fengchen looked at Gu Xun'er in his arms, who resembled a porcelain doll, feeling somewhat helpless. Still, he did not wake her and simply began cultivating cross-legged where he sat.

Just as Gu Xun'er and Gu Fengchen pressed close together, Gu Fengchen suddenly discovered in astonishment that his left hand was growing hot.

Within his field of vision, a wisp of golden gas separated from inside little sister Xun'er's body and slowly entered Gu Fengchen's left hand.

Gu Fengchen felt his body heat up, and the Dou Qi within him seemed to have become a little more solid.

What was this?

Gu Fengchen's heart shook violently, but his expression remained unchanged.

He silently sensed the golden gas entering his body. It transformed into his Dou Qi, continuously making it more solid.

Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame was hidden within Gu Xun'er's body.

That golden flame was flawless and holy!

Incomparably majestic!

Sacred and noble!

What else could it be besides the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame?

This matter was the Gu Clan's greatest secret. Even Xiao Yan did not learn of it until much later.

But Gu Fengchen, as a transmigrator, knew about it in advance.

Thus, he understood what was happening in an instant.

The Taotie Seal had no interest whatsoever in ordinary Dou Qi. If it was interested in something, it had to be a Heavenly Flame.

So, the Taotie Seal really could absorb Heavenly Flames?

No, rather than directly absorbing Heavenly Flames, it absorbed the energy brought by them.

I can feel the Dou Qi in my body improving. This is definitely due to the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.

Gu Fengchen felt that after leaving the Gu Clan, he could change his goal.

He had to seek out Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but he also had to seek out Heavenly Flames.

The safest-looking place was probably Jia Nan Academy.

Although meeting the academy's entry requirements would be effortless for Gu Fengchen, Jia Nan Academy had plenty of old monsters as well. Moreover, once he displayed sufficient talent, he would inevitably draw attention from all sides.

After all, the tallest tree in the forest would be the first to be toppled by the wind. Gu Fengchen understood that principle. He had no desire to be chased around everywhere.

As the king of lying flat and giving up, Gu Fengchen only liked living leisurely. He did not enjoy all this fighting and killing.

But if he hid his strength, it would depend on whether they wanted him at all.

After all, Gu Fengchen was still very young. Even if he entered, he would only be in the Outer Academy, while the Falling Heart Flame was in the Inner Academy. Fine, even if he truly entered the Inner Academy and made it into the tower, who knew when that would be?

Other than the Falling Heart Flame, there was the Green Lotus Core Flame. However, given his current strength, if he ran into Cai Lin, also known as Snake-Woman Medusa, it would be no different from courting death.

Xiao Yan had Old Ya. He did not.

Therefore, Gu Fengchen set his destination as the Magic Beast Mountain Range. He would first develop properly there for a few years, then see if there were any other opportunities.

Gathering his thoughts, Gu Fengchen began cultivating cross-legged. As his consciousness sank into his dantian, a constantly rotating vortex came into view.

A milky-white vortex the size of a palm slowly rotated. Around its edges, Dou Qi resembling a dense nebula was distributed everywhere, slowly revolving around the vortex in a rather orderly fashion.

Within the Dou Qi were traces of golden, starlike radiance.

Besides that, a thread of green aura lingered within it. That was the Wood Attribute Dou Qi brought about by devouring the Three-Leaf Green Ganoderma.

The Taotie Seal's devouring did not mindlessly convert everything it consumed into Dou Qi. On the contrary, the Taotie Seal would also return certain attributes carried by the devoured objects to its host.

With a Heavenly Flame and a trace of Wood Attribute Dou Qi

In a sense, Gu Fengchen already possessed all the qualifications to become an Alchemist.

At this moment, there was a moon in the sky and two little figures beneath it.

The two sat at the edge of the Training Ground. The girl lay in the boy's arms, peaceful and serene.

Cultivation itself was actually a very tedious affair, so while cultivating, Gu Fengchen would recall the various movies and novels from before his transmigration.

However, he remembered only parts of those things.

Of course, what mattered most was that he tried his best to recall every detail from the Original Work, squeezing his memories dry to maximize his gains.

Come to think of it, for a modern person, the Dou Qi Continent was still quite boring. There were no phones, no computers, nothing at all.

"And my food, and those things on my plate... I hope my parents don't see them..."

The next morning, the gentle dawn sunlight shone on Gu Xun'er's face, seeming to coat it with a layer of holy light.

The moon that had hung in the sky all night had not yet had time to set. At this moment, it almost seemed as though the sun and moon shone together.

The cold air mixed with morning mist entered their nostrils, carrying a chill.

At this moment, Gu Fengchen was using those wisps of Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame to aid his cultivation. His Dou Qi was becoming purer and stronger at a visible rate.

No wonder so many people on the Dou Qi Continent had gone mad searching for Heavenly Flames. They truly were treasures.

Golden light surged from within Gu Fengchen's body, causing golden energy to flow through every one of his meridians. His bones and organs were all suffused with a rich golden hue.

The Dou Qi tempered through the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame was indeed astonishingly powerful, especially the sharpness contained within it. It was even more terrifying.

No wonder the Dou Di Bloodline was said to be invincible. The Eight Ancient Clans were practically bug-level existences on the Dou Qi Continent.

Feeling the sunlight fall on her little face, Gu Xun'er's eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes. She raised a hand to her forehead to block the light.

Gu Fengchen sensed that Gu Xun'er had awakened and opened his eyes. When their gazes met, Gu Xun'er finally realized that she was still lying in Gu Fengchen's arms.

"Brother Gu Fengchen, I... I slept in your arms all night?" Gu Xun'er's little face flushed red, but she seemed unwilling to get up. She still lay sprawled in Gu Fengchen's arms like a little kitten, greedily breathing in his reassuring scent.

Gu Fengchen gently stroked Gu Xun'er's waterfall-like long hair and said with a smile, "You snored last night. It was really noisy."
