Fire Lotus Takes Shape!

"You're awake?"

Noticing movement on the bed, Little Medical Fairy turned around. Seeing that Xiao Yu had awakened, she said in surprise.

"Mm! Thank you. You saved my life again."

Little Medical Fairy smiled sweetly.

"It was nothing, just a small effort. Didn't you dare to face the Wolf Head Mercenary Group alone to save me?"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and did not take it to heart. Right now, he had practically become obsessed with creating Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.

Recalling what had just happened, Xiao Yu could not help but feel a lingering fear. Xiao Yan really had some nerve.

Only after experiencing it himself did he understand just how dangerous it was to fuse Heavenly Flames.

Even the slightest mistake during the fusion process would disrupt the balance of energy and trigger an uncontrolled explosion.

Fortunately, he had the Sea Heart Soft Tissue Yun Zhi had left behind, and he had noticed the danger in time. Thus, his injuries had not been too severe. Moreover, his Chaos Flame Body possessed a powerful affinity for fire, and his recovery far surpassed that of ordinary people. Otherwise, Xiao Yu would never have dared to keep doing this.

After resting for merely a day, Xiao Yu had fully recovered. On one hand, it was thanks to his formidable physique; on the other, it was thanks to Little Medical Fairy's meticulous care.

Just as expected, throughout the following period, violent explosions occasionally rang out from the once-secluded little valley.

After each explosion, things would remain quiet for a while, but as time passed, another would inevitably occur.

About a month later.

It was still the familiar little valley, but unlike when they had first arrived, the area behind the thatched cottage was now covered in deep pits, with hardly any intact ground left.

"Twelfth time!"

In front of the thatched cottage, Little Medical Fairy rested her chin on her hand and watched the youth in the distance controlling two flames. As his hands gradually drew closer together, his expression became increasingly grave.

Over the past month, Little Medical Fairy had figured out what Xiao Yu was doing.

She was extremely envious that Xiao Yu possessed the rare Heavenly Flames of heaven and earth. When she realized that he intended to fuse them, she had not known whether to laugh or cry. She had initially thought it was merely one of Xiao Yu's wild ideas, but after watching him persist through so many failures, she had come to admire him.

In Little Medical Fairy's eyes, every failure was a gamble with his life. Yet after twelve failures, Xiao Yu had absorbed the lessons, and his control over the fusion of Heavenly Flames had become increasingly skilled.

In the distance, Xiao Yu felt the flames in his hands slowly fusing and quietly let out a breath. He steadied his emotions. The last time, his fluctuating mood had caused his spiritual power output to become inconsistent, resulting in an explosion. Now, after so many attempts, he had become increasingly proficient at fusing the two.

The Bone Chilling Flame and Purple Flame in his palms slowly entwined and merged under Xiao Yu's control, gradually forming a spiraling ball of energy streaked with white and purple.

Xiao Yu silently gathered his strength. At this point, he had basically reached the final stage of the flame fusion. As long as he kept his soul power output steady and nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely succeed this time.

At last, the fusion reached its final stage. Through Xiao Yu's soul perception, Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus finally took shape!

The two-colored flames in Xiao Yu's hands vanished, replaced by a white-and-purple flaming lotus.

Its outer petals were pale purple, while the lotus heart in the center was a faint white.

The flaming lotus slowly rotated in Xiao Yu's palm, sparkling with enchanting colors beneath the sunlight.

When Little Medical Fairy in the distance saw the relaxed smile on Xiao Yu's face, then looked at the enchanting fire lotus in his hand, she knew he had succeeded. She slowly approached him and asked softly.

"Is this the Dou Technique you've been creating all month?"

Xiao Yu looked at the girl before him. Over the past month, she had saved him countless times. Even with the strength of his Chaos Flame Body, without Little Medical Fairy's care, he could never have squandered himself so recklessly.

Grinning, Xiao Yu said gently.

"That's right. Isn't it beautiful?"

The purple lotus in his palm seemed to respond to him, its shimmering radiance becoming even more dazzling.

"I didn't expect you to actually succeed."

Little Medical Fairy smiled sweetly, her face full of curiosity toward the fire lotus Xiao Yu had created.

"Go!"

Xiao Yu looked at Little Medical Fairy and, smiling, tossed the purple lotus in his hand into the distance.

Following a thunderous boom, purple-white light spread outward, leaving behind a deep pit several zhang wide.

As Xiao Yu's cultivation came to an end, the hidden little valley finally regained its former tranquility.

"Over there, over there! That spot hasn't been filled in yet!"

Beside the thatched cottage, Little Medical Fairy stood with her hands on her hips like a supervisor, pointing at a small pit not far away as she directed Xiao Yu.

Over the past month, Xiao Yu had caused so many explosions while practicing the fusion of Heavenly Flames. Although Little Medical Fairy had treated all his physical injuries, the beautiful little valley had long since lost its former peace and serenity. Those large and small pits scattered everywhere were Xiao Yu's handiwork.

Now that Xiao Yu's cultivation had reached a temporary end, Little Medical Fairy naturally ordered him to fill in those pits as a small punishment.

Watching Little Medical Fairy gesturing about in the distance, Xiao Yu could not help but smile bitterly.

"My lady, isn't this enough? I've practically plowed every inch of the place for you. It's more than enough land for you to grow medicinal herbs."

Hearing Xiao Yu's reply, Little Medical Fairy's pretty face reddened imperceptibly before she turned and left.

"Fine, then. We'll leave it at that for now."

Xiao Yu was left standing there, staring blankly at the land he had "filled in."

Calling it filling in was only an excuse. Little Medical Fairy simply wanted to grow medicinal herbs, and her previous herb garden had not been large enough.

Xiao Yu had not wanted to expose her, but he had already cleared so much land that it would be more than enough for her. It could also be considered a small way of repaying her.

After all, during the time he had been cultivating the Dou Technique, Little Medical Fairy's care for him had truly been meticulous in every regard.

Without Little Medical Fairy's attentive care, whether he could have fused the flames so quickly was still uncertain.

Raising his head to look at the sky concealed by mist, Xiao Yu sighed inwardly. Living in seclusion in this little valley was indeed quite comfortable, but unfortunately, he had reasons he had no choice but to leave.

Otherwise, with a beauty like Little Medical Fairy by his side, living in seclusion here would not have been a bad life at all.

Remaining where he stood, Xiao Yu circulated his Dou Qi and briefly adjusted to his current strength. During the period of fusing Heavenly Flames, his Dou Qi had constantly been depleted and restored, thoroughly stabilizing his strength as a four-star Dou Master. His level progress had now reached 420\1000. Moreover, perhaps because they had spent day and night together, Little Medical Fairy's favorability had risen to 79. This was already the highest level of trust that could be achieved between friends.

Once favorability exceeded eighty, it meant she was willing to stand against any outside force alongside him. Once it exceeded ninety, she would be willing to give her life for him.
