Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame

Lin Xiao was working with Hu Liang in the Artifact Refining Hall to rush out a batch of Golden Core Stage spirit swords, which was a new item for their sect this year.

Then he heard a disciple come to announce that Elder Xiaoluan was looking for him.

When Lin Xiao arrived at the main hall in front of the Artifact Refining Hall, he saw Xiaoluan standing outside the hall door, waving her wings at him as if she didn't intend to come in.

He went out and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoluan?"

Xiaoluan held out a chicken wing to him. "Give me the sword!"

"What sword?" Lin Xiao was completely confused.

"A peach wood sword!" Xiaoluan said, tilting her head back.

"What do you need the peach wood sword for?" Lin Xiao was even more confused.

Seeing that he seemed to have no recollection, Xiaoluan was quite dissatisfied. She stretched out the tip of her large wing, which suddenly transformed into a small hand that was not much bigger than a baby's.

"It can transform now! You promised the peach wood sword!"

Lin Xiao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that such a thing had indeed happened, however...

"You can transform into human form?" He didn't believe it.

Senior Liao said that the Transformation Stage of Demon Beast is higher than the Void Return Stage of a cultivator. Xiaoluan is still far from that level. It's impossible for it to have silently reached the Transformation Stage in just a few years, right?

So Lin Xiao began to carefully observe the small, white, tender hand on the tip of the Xiaoluan's wing.

Xiaoluan glanced at Lin Xiao with her tiny, bean-like eyes, then stretched out her wings and let him look at her.

"You've created a human hand using Spiritual Power! That's impressive, Xiaoluan. You're even researching new Law Technique on your own now," Lin Xiao praised.

He praised Xiaoluan not just to please the child, but because she was truly amazing. The hand that Xiaoluan conjured with her Spiritual Power not only looked the same.

This is a hand that can be used normally.

Many cultivators skilled in Spiritual Power can simply mimic the appearance, but very few can mimic something so realistic that it can be used normally. Moreover, this is something that even Demon Beast at the Core Solidification Stage, equivalent to a human Golden Core Stage, cannot achieve.

Like Xiaoluan, Lin Xiao could clearly sense that the small hand was connected to Xiaoluan's wings; if this hand were cut off, Xiaoluan's wings would be crippled.

This is almost indistinguishable from a real human transformation.

So that's really impressive.

Lin Xiao raised his hand and squeezed it; the little hand was soft and still warm. He held out his little finger, "Come on, Xiaoluan, let's pinky swear."

"What are you doing?" Xiaoluan asked, puzzled, but she still imitated him, using her own conjured little hand to hook her short, chubby little finger up.

The next moment, a white light suddenly shot from Lin Xiao's fingertip into Xiaoluan's hand and entered its body.

Following the white light Xiaoluan looked inward at her Dantian and exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?"

It saw a ball of blue flame appear in its Dantian.

Lin Xiao released its little finger and laughed, "You've almost finished your Silver Frost Python Demon Demon's core, right? This is a new one for you."

He pointed to Xiaoluan's belly, "This flame is called the Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame. Its outer flame should be delicious to you, but don't eat the inner flame carelessly; you need to refine it slowly."

This Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame was one of the hidden rewards from the system when Xiushui City was built. Lin Xiao had been thinking of giving it to Xiaoluan, but he was too busy to give it to her. Today, however, it came to him on its own.

This Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame is different from the Red Lotus Lava used in the various Alchemy Chamber and Artifact Refining Hall of the sect. The entire flame of the Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame must be refined before it can be used by people.

The outer flame of this fire is rich in Spiritual Power, which can help with cultivation. However, disciples of the Lingxian Sect cultivate high-level sect techniques, focusing on cultivating their minds and comprehending the Dao. This method of cultivation, which relies on external food to aid Demon Beast like Xiaoluan, is not suitable for them.

Therefore, Lin Xiao decided to give the Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame to Xiaoluan.

After all, Demon Beast are different from cultivators. If they don't have external help, it takes them much longer to advance in terms of cultivation than cultivators.

Moreover, Xiaoluan has performed very well in recent years. It has managed the animal park very well, and there have been no problems with its management, so no one else needs to worry about it.

You have to understand, Xiaoluan is a chicken.

Lin Xiao would be lying to say he wasn't pleased that Xiao Luan was so sensible, so he felt it was perfectly reasonable for her to give the Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame to Xiaoluan.

After hearing Lin Xiao's explanation, Xiaoluan blinked its tiny, bean-like eyes twice, then glanced at the small blue flame in its Dantian.

"Ooh ho." It opened its beak and made a sound that it couldn't tell from who it had learned it.

It tried to communicate with the small blue flame inside its body, but the flame remained unmoved, with only its bluish-white outer flame swaying slightly.

Xiaoluan seemed to have found the trick, using her Spiritual Power to quickly sweep across the bluish-white outer flame, thus enveloping the thin wisp of bluish-white smoke.

Spiritual Power, wrapped in green smoke, formed a small ball and emerged from its Dantian. Xiaoluan opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing it whole.

"Burp~" Just that one bite made Xiaoluan, who usually has a big appetite, let out a burp.

Its eyes lit up as it looked at Lin Xiao with shining eyes. "Delicious!"

This is a million times more delicious than that giant python's demon core! Xiaoluan will eat this fire from now on!

But then it frowned almost imperceptibly and asked Lin Xiao, "How long can it eat like this? It's too small!"

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly, "Don't underestimate this small Mystic Ultimate Azure Flame. It'll last you a long time. Once you've completely refined it, it will become symbiotic with you, growing stronger as you practice your cultivation technique. In short, you can keep eating it as long as you've fully refined it."

"Oh ho!" Xiaoluan's two bean-like eyes lit up even more. "Hehe, I like this! Hehe, I want to refine it!"

"Okay, good luck. Go back and eat and refine slowly!" Lin Xiao smiled and patted Xiaoluan's head before heading into the Artifact Refining Hall to continue what he had been doing.

He had barely turned around when Xiaoluan grabbed his sleeve. "Wait a minute!"

"A peach wood sword!"

Lin Xiao turned around sheepishly, and seeing how persistent it was with the peach wood sword, he had no choice but to spread his hands and confess, "The peach wood sword is gone."

"Huh?" Xiaoluan was very puzzled. It pointed its wings in the direction of the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree in the distance.

It didn't understand; the tree was clearly still alive and well, so how could the peach wood sword be gone?

Lin Xiao:...

There was nothing he could do; he simply hadn't known before how rare those Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree. Later, he heard from He Yi that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, this tree was actually the Illusory Spirit Immortal Peach Tree, which almost only existed in legends. So he couldn't bear to pluck branches to make peach wood swords anymore; it was too heartbreaking.

"Ahem, Xiaoluan, this peach wood sword isn't very good. Wooden swords are for kids. Adults and big chickens should use iron swords. How about I go and make you a big iron sword?" Lin Xiao coaxed.

Xiaoluan, however, was very principled. "What I promised was a peach wood sword!"
