Chapter 101: Stronger, but Not Bald (Standard Cup)
"Girl, you seem to have fused the green lotus core flame into your essence..."
Apothecary found it rather hard to understand how Xiao Yan, a mere Da Dou Shi-no, a Dou Ling-had managed such a thing.
In principle, it was not actually difficult to understand. A magical beast's innate flame, for instance, was a beast flame.
Fusing a heavenly flame into her essence meant that the green lotus core flame was now to Xiao Yan what a beast flame was to a magical beast.
But the strength of the green lotus core flame's essence rivaled that of a Peak Dou Emperor. Inside the body of a mere Dou Ling like Xiao Yan...
No matter how she looked at it, there was no way it could fit!
Seeing Apothecary's utter bewilderment, Xiao Yan scratched her head with her free hand and said, "Teacher, I feel like I can use the heavenly flame without spending any dou qi."
"???"
Apothecary stared at Xiao Yan with wide eyes for a good while before asking, "Tell me exactly how you refined the heavenly flame."
Xiao Yan had plenty of questions herself, so she quickly gave Apothecary a complete account of how she had failed to refine the green lotus core flame, then prompted it to evolve.
Of course, she had no idea what had happened when the flame seed "disappeared." All she knew was that she had lost track of it in a moment of inattention.
And after absorbing enough energy a short while ago, the green lotus core flame's flame seed had completely changed its appearance.
When the green lotus core flame first formed, it was almost half a mountain in size. After a thousand years of tempering by the earth, it would gradually shrink.
