Purple Flame Seed

Xiao Yu licked his lips as he looked at the Companion Amethyst Source in his hand.

"As expected of the strongest fire-element companion treasure. Just by making the surrounding fire-element energy more active, it would be enough to draw countless fire-element cultivators like moths to a flame."

After all, finding a cultivation treasure ground suited to oneself was no easy task. Yet merely storing the Companion Amethyst Source in the air could activate the fire-element energy around it, effectively providing fire-element cultivators with a natural cultivation ground.

Xiao Yu hesitated no longer. Using a thin twig, he carefully dipped out a small amount of Companion Amethyst Source and placed it in his mouth.

Xiao Yu immediately felt dense fire-element power spread through his mouth. It flowed down his throat, passed through his organs, and, as he circulated his Dou Qi, spread throughout every part of his body.

This book was first released on Tiantian Reads, with a vast collection of great books waiting for you to discover, providing an error-free and properly ordered reading experience.

Even the Dou Qi within his body seemed to have increased slightly.

When he opened his status panel, he found that the values in his strength section had changed a little as well.

Strength: Three-Star Dou Shi (301\1000) Third-Grade Alchemist (300\1000)

His strength value had risen from 300 to 301.

Ever since obtaining the system, Xiao Yu's strength had been quantified. In other words, every time his progress bar broke through another hundred points, he would advance in rank. Now, just a single drop of Companion Amethyst Source had raised it by one point. It might have been only one point, but that meant Xiao Yu could use this method to improve his strength.

Didn't that mean he could grow stronger if he kept absorbing it?

Delighted, Xiao Yu directly picked up the bottle in his hand and carefully took a small sip.

Boom!

A violent aura brewed in Xiao Yu's mouth. He clenched his teeth and pressed his lips tightly together. He had worked so hard to obtain this stuff—he could not spit it out. Absolutely not!

Enduring the searing pain, Xiao Yu swallowed the mouthful of Companion Amethyst Source in one gulp. As he circulated the energy, the scorching power dried out his body.

From afar, wisps of white smoke could even be seen rising from Xiao Yu's head.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes, and a flash of purple light passed through them.

The violent purple energy within him surged through his meridians toward his Dou Qi Vortex. Even while operating his technique, Xiao Yu was completely unable to suppress it.

If the purple energy struck his Dou Qi Vortex, his cultivation might fall rather than rise. Moreover, the unceasing burning rapidly drained the moisture from his body, causing his thoughts to become muddled for a moment.

He viciously bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself onward, running toward the lake in the valley before leaping in.

Splash!

The icy lake water enveloped Xiao Yu's body, gradually clearing his mind.

Then Xiao Yu summoned the Bone Chilling Flame within his body and sent it sweeping toward the purple energy rampaging through him.

The aura of a Heavenly Flame made the purple energy fearful, sending it scattering in every direction.

However, within Xiao Yu's body, the endless Bone Chilling Flame quickly surrounded the purple energy, carrying it along the circulation path of the Sun Devouring Technique.

As the purple energy was absorbed through Xiao Yu's technique, it gradually weakened, while Xiao Yu's aura steadily grew stronger.

Before long, Xiao Yu had completely refined the purple energy in his body, and his strength had risen to 330.

A trace of lingering fear flashed through Xiao Yu's eyes. He had been too careless.

He had not expected the Companion Amethyst Source's energy to be so violent. He had nearly caused a grave disaster. Fortunately, the Heavenly Flame had suppressed the purple energy.

But the results were promising. A crazed glint flashed through Xiao Yu's eyes as his withered right hand picked up the bottle full of Companion Amethyst Source, and he took another large gulp.

With the experience from before, Xiao Yu absorbed the energy with far greater ease. Soon, the entire bottle of Companion Amethyst Source was nearly empty.

As he rapidly absorbed the purple energy, Xiao Yu's aura swiftly approached the level of a Four-Star Dou Shi.

However, after absorbing an entire bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, Xiao Yu's strength still remained at Three-Star Dou Shi. His progress had only reached 398, leaving him stuck at the threshold of 400.

"Looks like part of the energy still hasn't been fully absorbed."

Xiao Yu sensed the energy he had absorbed and frowned slightly.

Once the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King advanced to the fourth tier, equivalent to the Dou Ling realm, it only needed to swallow the Companion Amethyst Source whole to immediately break through to the fifth tier.

Yet Xiao Yu had absorbed an entire bottle and still had not broken through to Four-Star Dou Shi.

Sure enough, companion treasures of magical beasts could only display their greatest value when absorbed by the magical beasts themselves.

He possessed the Chaos Flame Body, so his affinity for the fire element was already maxed out. Compared with ordinary people, his absorption conversion rate was already extremely high, yet so much had still been wasted. No wonder humans rarely used such natural treasures directly for cultivation. They were usually refined into medicinal pills before being absorbed. Pills were the best way for humans to absorb these creations of heaven and earth. Devouring them whole was simply too wasteful.

But since he was only one step away, Xiao Yu could not possibly give up. In any case, he had seven bottles of Companion Amethyst Source in total.

Taking out another bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, Xiao Yu did not waste any this time. He merely estimated the amount needed for his breakthrough, then put the rest away again.

After swallowing one mouthful of Companion Amethyst Source, Xiao Yu's strength finally broke through to Four-Star Dou Shi.

Opening his eyes, a trace of delight flashed through Xiao Yu's gaze. Other than when he had advanced to Eight-Star Dou Zhe outside the Magic Beast Mountain Range without relying on the system, this was another time he had improved independently.

It gave Xiao Yu a sense of accomplishment.

Dou Qi surged within his body, and Dou Qi Armor materialized around him.

Xiao Yu examined the Dou Qi Armor on his body and discovered that it had changed greatly as well.

His previous Dou Qi Armor had been red. Now, red and purple intertwined across it, adding a touch of bewitching beauty. Looking closely, there were even several nearly imperceptible clusters of purple flames on its surface.

At the sight of the Purple Flame, delight flashed through Xiao Yu's eyes.

"Purple Flame?"

The Purple Flame was the fire of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Could it be because he had absorbed the Companion Amethyst Source?

Slightly curious, Xiao Yu circulated his Dou Qi. Sure enough, his Dou Qi now contained numerous tiny purple fire-element particles. Those were what made up the Purple Flame.

Xiao Yu carefully inspected his meridians, gathering all the Purple Flame particles together until they slowly condensed into a smooth, round sphere.

"I'll call you the Purple Flame Seed."

Xiao Yu murmured as he looked at it, then stored the Purple Flame Seed within his Dou Qi Vortex.

As he slowly circulated his Dou Qi through the Purple Flame Seed, Xiao Yu discovered that the Dou Qi passing through it took on the characteristics of the Purple Flame.

With a faint smile, Xiao Yu extended his right hand and gathered Dou Qi in his palm.

"Appear!"

As Xiao Yu's voice fell, a tiny wisp of purple flame emerged from his palm, gradually tumbling and flickering above it.

Just as expected!

Xiao Yu had successfully summoned the Purple Flame. Sensing the heat it radiated, the smile on his face became even brighter.

As he watched the Purple Flame churn in his palm, Xiao Yu was suddenly overcome with curiosity.
