Absorption Complete, News from Yao Lao

In the Music Pavilion, a Quiet Room.

Xiao Yan sat on the cushion and took out two jars from his Storage Ring.

The jar was sealed tightly, but Xiao Yan could sense that the two Heavenly Flames inside were conveying to him emotions of desire and obedience.

Xiao Yan did not have the option to choose which Heavenly Flames to absorb first.

He randomly rearranged the two jars and then opened the jar on the right.

As soon as the jar was opened, a wisp of brown flame emerged from inside.

"Turtle Spirit Earthfire? Very well, then I'll absorb you first." Xiao Yan said as he fully opened the jar.

The seal was completely broken, Turtle Spirit Earthfire inside the jar became even more excited, with the tortoise phantom shaking its head in the burning flames.

Xiao Yan sensed the energy intensity of this Turtle Spirit Earthfire, and found it to be on the same level as the Fallen Heart Flame, or even slightly lower.

This is not hard to understand. The two flames differ by only one rank. The Fallen Heart Flame lives in the Earth Core Magma World and has enough energy to enhance itself.

In contrast, the Turtle Spirit Earthfire most likely survives within that Secret Realm. Thanks to the unique properties of this Heavenly Flames, it is not extinguished or dissipated, but its growth rate will be greatly reduced.

It's already quite remarkable that the Turtle Spirit Earthfire can still rival the Fallen Heart Flame in its current strength.

Brown flames burned in the Quiet Room. The turtle's head swayed. This was the first time Xiao Yan had encountered such a lively Heavenly Flames, which was completely different from the common impression of Heavenly Flames as 'violent'.

"Besides the fact that the Turtle Spirit Earthfire itself is biased towards this, it's highly likely that as cultivation increases and the body evolves, the effects of the Fire Spirit Body become better and better, and its attractiveness also increases," Xiao Yan guessed in his heart.

Just as Xiao Yan was pondering, the Turtle Spirit Earthfire couldn't wait any longer. It manipulated the flames and directly enveloped Xiao Yan's booted feet, beginning... a massage?

"Good heavens, you even know how to flatter people? Veteran Heavenly Flames are truly different. It seems your spirituality is already quite high, and you're only one step away from truly taking shape."

"You'd better hurry up Spirit Gathering energy soon, then the Fallen Heart Flame will finally have a real companion to talk to." Xiao Yan smiled and patted the turtle's head.

The Turtle Spirit Earthfire playfully nuzzled against him again, its brown flames causing no harm whatsoever.

Xiao Yan removed his mask and placed it aside. He then reached into the depths of the brown flames and picked up the seed of the Turtle Spirit Earthfire.

With the tinder in hand, he skillfully opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.

The spark entered his abdomen, and the intense heat spread rapidly.

The Flame Mantra automatically began to operate.

The Flame Mantra, which had already reached the Low Heaven Rank, began to be rapidly assimilated once activated, as the Turtle Spirit Earthfire that Xiao Yan had swallowed began to be absorbed into his body.

The brown flame circulated through Xiao Yan's meridians for two cycles before completely transforming into the shape of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi.

The Turtle Spirit Earthfire was even more delighted, seemingly relieved that it had become Xiao Yan's possession.

Having just been absorbed and transformed by Xiao Yan, and not far from Spirit Gathering, it already sensed that its intelligence was slowly condensing.

He happily burrowed into the Spirit Container chamber within Xiao Yan's body, thinking he was done, but unexpectedly, before he could enter, three forces suddenly emerged and directly divided it.

These three forces are naturally the "Flame Mantra", the "Spirit Devouring Body Forging Mantra", and the Fire Spirit Body.

The power of the Flame Mantra is divided to optimize the circulation path, making the operation of the Cultivation Technique more efficient and greatly increasing its Cultivation Technique.

However, advancing to the Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique is too difficult, so only a small improvement is possible. There is still a significant gap to bridge if you want to raise it to the Mid Heaven Rank.

Xiao Yan felt that even with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, it would still be a little lacking, but if he included the Three Thousand Burning Flame, it would be a sure thing, and there would even be some surplus, allowing the Flame Mantra to continue evolving towards the Higher Heaven Rank.

Let's get back to the main topic.

The other two portions of energy from the Turtle Spirit Earthfire were also put to full use.

However, it seems that his level was too high, and the two energies of the Turtle Spirit Earthfire did not have much effect.

His cultivation level only broke through from the fourth level of Dou Venerate to the abstract... four and a half levels?

Xiao Yan was speechless, but he knew that the Heavenly Flames ranked eleventh and below would not significantly improve his cultivation.

The Bone Spirit Cold Flame is a watershed moment. From the Bone Spirit Cold Flame onwards, all flames are at the Dou Venerate level, so absorbing them will significantly enhance the Dou Venerate's abilities.

Flames like the Turtle Spirit Earthfire, which are at the Dou Zong level, offer very little improvement at the Dou Zun Realm.

If it weren't for the Fire Spirit Body's high absorption efficiency, even half a star would have been difficult to obtain.

Dou Venerate cultivation level of one star is no less valuable than Dou Zong.

As for any improvement in physical fitness, it was negligible.

Of course, this Turtle Spirit Earthfire still has a significant effect.

Putting energy aside for now, the addition of a new Heavenly Flames has further enhanced the strength of the Fusion Heavenly Flame.

At the same time, a new Heavenly Flames can also enhance the effectiveness of the Heavenly Flame Manifestation.

Xiao Yan had a feeling that if he could raise his cultivation to the level of Semi-Saint, and with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame and Three Thousand Burning Flame that he would absorb later, the effect of the Heavenly Flame Manifestation would reach a new level.

Assisting cultivation is just a minor skill; who knows, it might even allow him to refine Tier 9 Medicinal Pill beyond his current level!

Xiao Yan set a small goal in his heart.

Xiao Yan sensed the characteristics of the Turtle Spirit Earthfire and found that it was a characteristic that perfectly suited its appearance: defense.

This characteristic is neither particularly strong nor weak; it's just very basic.

Fifteen Heaven-Swallowing Talent slots weren't exactly plentiful, so Xiao Yan didn't use them to awaken his Heaven-Swallowing Talent.

Next, Xiao Yan opened the jar containing the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

Inside the jar, silver flames burned fiercely, seemingly furious at being trapped inside.

She calmed down as soon as she sensed Xiao Yan's presence.

The silver flames transformed into a dragon shape, its body covered in lightning.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up repeatedly; he was captivated by its appearance.

Putting everything else aside, the appearance of this flame is absolutely stunning.

Xiao Yan gently stroked the dragon's head, then reached in and picked up its flame.

After carefully sensing it, Xiao Yan discovered that there was no trace of the Blood Soul Seal remaining on it.

That's true, after all, it was Fire Cloud Ancestor, a Dou Sheng Expert, who personally took action.

That so-called Blood Soul Seal can only protect against a Dou Zun expert.

In fact, even Xiao Yan was confident that he could completely erase the Blood Soul Seal; it was just that Fire Cloud Ancestor saved him some trouble.

After confirming that there were no problems, Xiao Yan skillfully put the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame into his mouth and swallowed it.

Just like when it first absorbed the Turtle Spirit Earthfire, the Flame Mantra automatically began to operate, and soon completely assimilated the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

After being assimilated, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame silently flew towards the Spirit Container, but was still forcibly divided by the three bandits.

The energy of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is not much stronger than that of the Turtle Spirit Earthfire.

After absorbing it, the Flame Mantra still hadn't reached the Mid Heaven Rank, but it wasn't far off.

The improvement in physical strength was still negligible.

As for his cultivation, the energy from the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame replenished the remaining half-star, allowing him to successfully break through to the Five-Star Dou Zun, stabilizing his cultivation.

Xiao Yan carefully sensed the characteristics of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. It possessed the dragon's might that could intimidate the soul, which was quite useful. He temporarily included it in his list of Heaven-Swallowing Talent.

In short, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame has a similar function to the Turtle Spirit Earthfire; both are used to enhance the strength of Fusion Heavenly Flame and strengthen their Heavenly Flame Manifestation.

At this point, both Heavenly Flames had been completely absorbed.

Xiao Yan let out a breath, feeling the renewed strength of the Fusion Heavenly Flame, and smiled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he took out Medicine Token from his Storage Ring.

The Token appeared to contain a message that had been sent two hours prior.

The message transmitted through the Medicine Token was naturally a message from the Yao Lao.

Xiao Yan used his Soul Power to receive the message and immediately understood what Yao Lao meant.

"Is it already running? That's surprisingly fast."

"Hmm... it seems that it's the beauty from one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants who's putting in her power."
