At the center of Chen Fan's dantian, the vortex of True Essence Power rotated on its own. Nearby, there was unexpectedly a faint cluster of red flames, as well as a tiny plant with only a single green leaf. Each occupied a small corner of his dantian, yet both were utterly still, without the slightest ripple. Even when Chen Fan probed them with his Divine Sense, he could not budge them in the least.
The True Essence Power flowing through his dantian even altered its own course when it encountered these two things, skirting around them rather than daring to touch them.
"Burning Fire Chapter, Burning Wood Chapter..." Chen Fan murmured, feeling that these were likely the products of those two techniques.
Clang...
Just then, a noise came from above Chen Fan's head, as though something had been moved away. Immediately afterward, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone down from above.
"Kid, have you been steamed through? Huh..." Bald Bird's babyish voice drifted over. It completely removed the cauldron lid, and its grinning bird head abruptly appeared before Chen Fan. Yet when it saw what was inside the medicinal cauldron, it could not help letting out a startled cry.
"You absorbed all the medicinal power in the cauldron?" Bald Bird stared at Chen Fan, its eyeballs nearly popping out, its face full of disbelief.
Only then did Chen Fan lower his head for a look. His body was still immersed in the medicinal liquid, but the liquid had now lost all spirituality. Not even a trace of medicinal fragrance remained; only a cauldron full of gray-black wastewater was left. Meanwhile, a faint purple-gold glow seemed to cover the surface of his body, repelling the gray-black wastewater and keeping it from touching his flesh.
"Did you do something?" Chen Fan asked.
