Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame

[A: Hand over what you have and beg for a chance to live.]

[B: Go all out. Kill Xiao Yi Xian, who is closest to you, first, then wipe out the dozen or so mercenaries and claim all the treasures for yourself.]

[C: Join forces with Xiao Yi Xian and kill all the mercenaries.]

[Before you could react, Xiao Yi Xian had already shoved a packet of sleeping powder into your hand.]

[After sweeping your gaze around the room, you tossed out the powder, instantly filling the entire stone chamber with it.]

[As the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu Li reacted quickly. But you reacted even faster, grabbing Xiao Yi Xian's hand and swiftly removing the Moonlight Stones that illuminated the chamber.]

[With the Moonlight Stones gone, you immediately began the hunt. You unleashed every Dou Technique at the right moment, and more than a dozen mercenaries died at your hands.]

[Pulled about so roughly that she staggered from side to side, Xiao Yi Xian panted urgently and reminded you that Wolf Head Mercenary Group mercenaries would be waiting atop the cliff.]

[Biting her red lips, Xiao Yi Xian took out a short bamboo flute and summoned a First Tier Blue Eagle.]

[After flying for some time, the Blue Eagle landed. Though you and Xiao Yi Xian parted ways, both of you were thinking about how to deal with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group that had surrounded you.]

[Choosing a cultivation spot with a waterfall, you inspected the gains from the cave.]

[One of them was a Flight Dou Technique that allowed one to fly ahead of time. It had reached the High Xuan Tier.]

[With Medicine Elder's experience, he unexpectedly discovered that what the arm bone concealed was a fragmentary map connected to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.]

[The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This harvest had far exceeded all expectations.]

[Fusing with a Flight Dou Technique required resisting the attack of the magical beast soul sealed within it.]

[Before Medicine Elder's incredulous gaze, you suffered only a little pain and fused with it successfully with remarkable ease.]

[You knew it was because the medicinal power of the Primordial Origin Pill had strengthened your soul force, making it far superior to that of an ordinary Dou Zhe.]

[Afterward, under the Wooden Stake Cultivation Method arranged by Medicine Elder, your speed and control over Dou Qi improved greatly. Before long, you broke through to become a Nine-Star Dou Zhe.]

[To search for the Spirit-Recovering Scarlet Fruit needed to refine Qi Recovery Pills, you left the valley and unexpectedly encountered a Second Tier magical beast.]

[Using the hidden force of Eight Extremities Collapse and the Flight Dou Technique Purple Cloud Wings, you instantly killed the Second Tier magical beast and luckily obtained a Second Tier Magic Core.]

[On your way back, you encountered Wolf Head Mercenary Group mercenaries pursuing you.]

[After learning that Xiao Yi Xian was safe at the Thousand Medicines Hall, you dealt with the last man.]

[Afterward, Medicine Elder showed you the Low Earth Tier Dou Technique he intended to teach you: the Flame Splitting Wave-Cleaving Ruler.]

[Seeing the might of an Earth Tier Dou Technique for the first time, you were deeply shaken and looked forward to how powerful you would become once you cultivated the six forms of the Lava Heaven-Burning Art to the Heaven Tier.]

[While cultivating beneath the waterfall, Medicine Elder took out Burning Blood, which could be considered a Tier 4 Pill.]

[Burning Blood could only be used by people with fire-attributed Dou Qi. It accelerated the consumption of Dou Qi while also accelerating its regeneration. Through the constant cycle of depletion and regeneration, it could increase cultivation speed.]

[However, using it would make its user suffer terribly, as if they were being burned by flames.]

[To Medicine Elder's astonishment, the Burning Blood he had prepared did not make you feel much pain at all.]

[While you cultivated, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's search for you became increasingly intensive, forcing you to begin hunting mercenaries who approached the small valley.]

[After hunting down a group of them with your overwhelming strength, you began making your way toward the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's camp.]

[Before long, you found He Meng of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He possessed the strength of an Eight-Star Dou Zhe and cultivated the Rock Cultivation Method, known as the strongest defensive cultivation method.]

[But before your stronger Nine-Star Dou Zhe strength and the many Dou Techniques beyond his imagination, none of it was worth mentioning.]

[You killed him with the eightfold hidden force of Eight Extremities Collapse, leaving Medicine Elder dumbfounded.]

[Eight Extremities Collapse with eightfold hidden force was practically comparable to an Earth Tier Dou Technique!]

[The Lava Heaven-Burning Art could be called the ultimate technique for wielding power. The hidden force of Eight Extremities Collapse, like a vortex concealed beneath ocean waves, had many similarities with its Star-Surging Heaven Qi and Void Vortex Force.]

[By drawing parallels, you found Eight Extremities Collapse easier to master than even geniuses did. The fact that you quickly mastered Absorbing Palm and Flame-Blowing Palm had similar reasons.]

[The death of the third commander prompted the Wolf Head Mercenary Group to launch a massive campaign to wipe you out.]

[Facing Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, you used Void Vortex Force to deflect his attack before unleashing the Flame Splitting Wave-Cleaving Ruler.]

[A Low Earth Tier Dou Technique was no ordinary thing. Even though you were only a Nine-Star Dou Zhe, you killed Mu She on the spot.]

[Under the stunned gazes of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, you used the Flight Dou Technique Purple Cloud Wings to flee the scene.]

[Seeing that you possessed wings, the mercenaries snapped awake as if from a dream. They stared in shock toward the direction of your departure, and quite a few took you for a Dou Wang-level expert.]

[After recovering afterward, you broke through and became a One-Star Dou Shi.]

[The pursuit had temporarily come to an end, and after breaking through to Dou Shi, you began studying alchemy.]

[An Alchemist without any formulas would find exchanges with fellow practitioners rather awkward.]

[You did not refine Medicine Elder's formulas, instead tinkering around on your own.]

[Before long, you refined a bottle of aphrodisiac.]

[Medicine Elder, who witnessed this scene, did not scold you. Instead, he chuckled teasingly and said that many male Alchemists refined this very thing when preparing their first formula.]

[Upon hearing this, you chose...]
