Refining the Mystic Yellow Flame

Three days later, in a secluded cave within the Magical Beast Forest.

Xiao Jie sat cross-legged in the middle of the cave. Before him, something dragon-shaped seemed to swim within the Mystic Yellow Flame. As it moved, the surrounding space appeared to ripple. Floating around Xiao Jie were the essential items for refining Heavenly Flames: a Spirit Container, a Tier 5 Blood Lotus Pill, and Icy Spirit Spring.

These three items were essential for refining Heavenly Flames ranked below sixteenth place. The Spirit Container held the refined Origin Flame Seed; the Blood Lotus Pill produced a blood scab of energy after being consumed, protecting its user from being injured by the Heavenly Flame during refinement; and the Icy Spirit Spring reduced the Heavenly Flame's power and scorching heat.

Once everything was prepared, Xiao Jie brought the pill bottle containing the Tier 5 Blood Lotus Pill before him. With a slight curl of his left palm, he poured the Blood Lotus Pill into his hand. The pill, the size of a longan, gave off a strange fragrance that sharpened his mind by several degrees. He swallowed hard, then stuffed it into his mouth in one go.

The moment the Blood Lotus Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a cool, chilling energy that swiftly coursed through every meridian in his body. In the end, a strange energy emerged throughout his meridians, wrapping them like a layer of blood membrane. A dark-red energy then surfaced outside his body and enveloped him completely, forming a blood-scab-like protective layer around him.

After sensing that there were no problems throughout his body, Xiao Jie thrust his hand into the Mystic Yellow Flame. The flame instantly surged, its energy beginning to riot. Xiao Jie focused on controlling the Mystic Yellow Flame at every moment until he withdrew his hand from it. A dark-yellow, dragon-shaped flame had appeared in his palm, and he promptly swallowed it.

The instant he swallowed the Mystic Yellow Flame's Origin Flame Seed, Xiao Jie let out a muffled groan and furrowed his brows. Pain appeared on his handsome face as he swiftly drank the Icy Spirit Spring.

Bone-piercing cold flowed down Xiao Jie's throat and into his abdomen. The Icy Spirit Spring then traveled through his meridians, soothing the scorching energy of the Mystic Yellow Flame. Frost had already formed on Xiao Jie's hair, and ice crystals clung to his lips. The fiery fire-attributed energy and frigid ice-attributed energy around him collided, producing waves of white mist. Xiao Jie was no longer aware of what was happening outside his body, wholly immersed in controlling and refining the Mystic Yellow Flame's Origin Flame Seed. He circulated the Flame Mantra and began refining the Mystic Yellow Flame.

Fifteen days later, Xiao Jie's aura began to surge. Eight-Star Dou Wang, Nine-Star, Nine-Star peak. The energy fed back by the Mystic Yellow Flame was about to push him into the Dou Emperor realm, but Xiao Jie kept suppressing it.

Xiao Jie's aura fluctuated constantly between Eight-Star and Nine-Star peak. Before long, it gradually stabilized at Nine-Star Dou Wang. He let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and thought to himself.

Only by refining a Heavenly Flame can one truly experience such danger and pain. Still, with this experience, devouring and refining Heavenly Flames should become much easier in the future. I'll familiarize myself with the energy in my body first, then restore my Dou Qi and heal my injuries before I begin devouring the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Xiao Jie closed his eyes once more and began recovering.

Two days later, Xiao Jie felt the vast energy within his body and the powerful Origin Heavenly Flame. A smile could not help appearing at the corner of his lips as he thought happily.

Wonderful. The Flame Mantra has also evolved from Huang Tier Low-Level to Huang Tier High-Level. Once I refine the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Flame Mantra will reach the Xuan Tier. Combined with the Heavenly Fire Three-Mysterious Transformation, I probably won't have to fear anyone even among Dou Emperors.

The Blazing Golden Lion Flame was not powerful enough to evolve the Flame Mantra. Using Beast Flames to evolve the Burning Mantra required far too great a quantity, and Xiao Jie had no way of finding so many Beast Flames. He could only rely on rare treasures like Heavenly Flames for its evolution. Xiao Jie then took out the Green Lotus Core Flame from the Simulator's space, as well as a Blood Lotus Pill and Icy Spirit Spring from his Storage Ring. One Spirit Container was enough for a single person.

After making his preparations, Xiao Jie began refining the Green Lotus Core Flame with practiced ease. This refinement was clearly much easier than his first refinement of the Mystic Yellow Flame. Although the Green Lotus Core Flame was ranked nineteenth among the Heavenly Flames and was more powerful than the twenty-third-ranked Mystic Yellow Flame, Xiao Jie was now at the peak of the Dou Wang realm. With the Flame Mantra and the various auxiliary refinement items, his second refinement was noticeably easier.

And so, day after day passed as Xiao Jie refined the Green Lotus Core Flame.
