Chapter 99: Dragon Bone Fire! Go, My Dear Friend! (Part 1)

Before Xiao Ling'er could react, the transmutation process was already halfway through. Stopping it now would be too embarrassing, so she let it continue.

But after a moment's thought, she felt it was acceptable.

A gift.

In the future, when she had the chance, she would also bring a gift for Huo Yun'er.

She wouldn't owe her anything.

This time, she would do her best to ensure Huo Yun'er's success and survival.

She made this decision silently.

After an incense stick's worth of time, the transmutation was complete.

At first glance, the little girl showed no visible changes, but if anyone attacked, the spirit tool would automatically retaliate.

"It's done," Huo Yun'er said with a smile. "Unfortunately, due to its unique characteristics, the refinement was quite challenging, and the final product is only a lower-grade spirit tool."

"But it can easily withstand several attacks from ordinary Fourth Firmament Realm cultivators."

"However, after a few attacks, it will need to 'recharge.' It can slowly recover through formations, or you can provide energy using essence stones or by infusing it with Primordial Energy."

"Of course, this is in a 'passive' activation state. If a cultivator with sufficient cultivation uses it, the defensive power of this spirit tool will rival that of a top-grade spirit tool!"

"This is one of my proudest creations from a few years ago."

She proudly lifted her chin.

"Impressive," Xiao Ling'er praised.

"Thank you, Sister Yun'er," the little girl said.

"You're so sweet," Huo Yun'er said, ruffling the girl's hair, who smiled without resisting.

"You..."

"Are you sure?"

After a moment, Xiao Ling'er got down to business.

"Hmm?"

Huo Yun'er was taken aback. "What do you mean, 'Are you sure'?"

"Feeding the fire with your body."

Hearing this, Huo Yun'er fell silent.

After a long while, she finally spoke, "You guessed it?"

"What else could it be?" Xiao Ling'er sighed. "Your Fire Virtue Sect is filled with powerful cultivators, including several Great Power cultivators. Why do you specifically need my help? The only difference between me and them is the unusual flame."

"Initially, I thought you wanted to borrow my unusual flame for tool refinement, but after much consideration, I don't think that's the case."

"After much thought, the only option is to feed the fire with my body."

"What are you talking about?" Huo Yun'er smiled lightly. "Feeding the fire with my body sounds terrible, as if I'm destined to become its nourishment. Can't I succeed in controlling it?"

"Moreover, you're here with me."

Xiao Ling'er didn't respond.

"In the past few years, I've experienced the highs and lows of life, and up till now, I don't have many friends, and you're my only close friend."

"I don't want to see you take such a risk."

"But... why does it have to be you?"

Huo Yun'er lowered her head, her smile fading. "You're also my best friend."

"But this is my responsibility and my destiny."

"I'm the most suitable person."

"Whether it's my identity, status, talent, or physique, it's all the same."

Then, she added, "Don't worry too much. We've made extensive preparations, and with your help, our chances of success are very high!"

"Very high chances." She emphasized the point.

But more than that, she was trying to reassure herself.

Xiao Ling'er sighed lightly, "How high is 'very high'?"

"Three out of ten?"

"Or two out of ten?"

Huo Yun'er remained silent.

Xiao Ling'er continued, "On my journey here, although I didn't pay close attention, I noticed the sect's atmosphere is quite heavy. It can't be that simple and relaxed."

"But I have no other choice!"

"And I won't back down."

Huo Yun'er straightened her chest.

The two locked eyes.

The little girl held a book and quietly watched from the side.

"Phew..."

In the end, Xiao Ling'er conceded, "I'm advising you as your friend, not asking you to do anything. Since you insist, I'll naturally support you."

"However, relying solely on my unusual flame isn't enough."

"I have a method, but it requires a rare spirit herb."

"If your Fire Virtue Sect can find it, I can refine a pill. If successful, it should provide some help."

"I'll have my sect find the spirit herb!"

Just then, a robust figure with fiery red hair, like Huo Yun'er's, strode in. His gaze was intense.

Wherever he passed, the temperature rose.

"I'll leave the pill refinement to you, young friend."

Huo Kunlun approached Xiao Ling'er and bowed deeply. "I heard that Yun'er's friend had come, so I wanted to take a look. But I didn't expect to hear what you said."

"I'd be grateful for your assistance."

"After this, regardless of the outcome, our Fire Virtue Sect will owe you a favor. We won't refuse any request."

"Father!"

Huo Yun'er exclaimed, "What happened to you?!"

Before she could say more, Xiao Ling'er smiled, "So, it's the Sect Leader."

"Sect Leader, your words carry weight. Yun'er and I are close friends, so I'll naturally help."

"However, the spirit herb is hard to find, mainly because of its high value. Since the Sect Leader is willing, I'll give you the pill formula. If you can find it, I'll do my best to refine it!"

"No matter how difficult, I'll find it."

Huo Kunlun spoke with determination.

Without saying more, he bowed and left.

Huo Yun'er sighed, "I haven't agreed yet!"

"We've decided for you," Xiao Ling'er said with a smile.

"Ugh!"

Huo Yun'er pounced on her, and they played for a while before noticing the little girl quietly reading in the corner, making them feel embarrassed. They quickly straightened their hair and slightly disheveled robes.

The little girl was perfect in every way, except for her reluctance to speak.

She seemed a bit aloof.

Too easy to overlook.

The next day, Huo Kunlun returned.

He brought back the spirit herb Xiao Ling'er needed, but his aura was chaotic, and his robust body bore visible injuries.

"Father!"

Huo Yun'er exclaimed, "What happened to you?!"

"It happened suddenly, and time is of the essence. I had to use some extreme methods, but it's fine."

Fire Kunlun mentioned it casually, as if it were a trivial matter, but even Xiao Ling'er, who didn't know him well, could tell that he must have gone through a great battle!

Clearly, obtaining these spirit herbs was not an easy task.

"How could it be like this!"

Seeing that her father was injured for her sake, Huo Yun'er felt distressed.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

Fire Kunlun smiled, "There's no other way. Some spirit herbs are too rare, and their owners refuse to sell them. As a father, I had no choice but to use force, but I didn't harm their lives and even left them with resources beyond their expectations. At most, it could be considered a forced purchase."

"It's not a forceful robbery."

"There won't be any trouble afterward."

Xiao Ling'er listened with a serious expression.

Was this the style of a powerful cultivator? It seemed they had the confidence and dominance to do as they pleased.

"But I believe that one day, our Moonseizing Sect will also be able to do the same."

"If Master or Teacher needs it, I will definitely obtain it for them!"

"Young friend."

As Xiao Ling'er pondered, Fire Kunlun took a deep breath and said, "Next, I'll have to trouble you."

"Good, I'll start refining the pill immediately."

"Please prepare a secret room for me."

"As for YaYa..."

"I'll take care of her, don't worry." Huo Yun'er took on the task.

"I'll also watch from the side, it won't be a problem."

Fire Kunlun offered to help personally.

The little girl smiled and nodded, "Senior Sister, I'll wait for you."

"Good!"

...

Xiao Ling'er began pill refinement.

Inside the secret room, she set up formations for soundproofing and preventing prying eyes, and her expression became solemn. "Teacher, I'm counting on you."

"No problem."

"Her helping you is like helping me. It's only right that we repay her."

Yao Mu appeared.

Thanks to the medicinal ingredients she obtained from the Return Origin Sect's treasury, which could restore divine souls, she was now much stronger than before, even though she was still a residual soul.

She could manifest her physical body.

And she could do many things she couldn't do before.

Yao Mu didn't appear old; she even looked young and exceptionally beautiful.

Although she only had half a body, she exuded maturity and sexiness, making it hard to look away.

At this moment, her illusory red lips slowly parted.

"This pill has no name yet. I've just thought of it and created it. To be honest, I'm not sure if this pill will be effective or if we, as master and disciple, can successfully refine it."

"So, for us, this is also an experiment."

"Calm your mind and focus, give it your all!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Xiao Ling'er's expression became even more serious.

She felt a great deal of pressure.

Firstly, it was because spirit herbs were hard to find, and even a sect as powerful as the Fire Virtue Sect had to take action to gather them.

Secondly, this matter concerned the life and death of her best friend.

If she failed, even though she knew her friend wouldn't blame her, she would still feel a sense of guilt.

"Let's begin!"

"I'll borrow your body for a moment."

Yao Mu flew towards Xiao Ling'er and merged into her body.

The next moment, Xiao Ling'er's eyes opened and closed.

But at this moment, her eyes contained an endless depth of experience.

"Bring the fire."

She spoke, and her voice carried the combined tones of both Xiao Ling'er and Yao Mu.

Before her words faded, the Hundred Forged Divine Fire emerged and enveloped them.

Then, various rare medicinal ingredients flew out.

Xiao Ling'er's expression became even more solemn.

Even with the combined efforts of master and disciple, there was still a sense of tension in the air.

But soon, she adjusted her mindset, gave it her all, and strived for perfection.

After a while, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

"After lingering as a residual soul for thousands of years, refining pills again feels as familiar as ever."

Her confidence grew.

The initial nervousness and tension vanished in an instant.

All her past confidence and pride returned.

"Ling'er, watch closely!"

"I'll teach you another pill refinement technique."

"As for using this unusual flame as a furnace, you can learn that too for now."

Boom!

Yao Mu's aura surged.

The pill refinement began!

Half a day later, it was the critical moment for pill formation.

Yao Mu's expression tightened, and her seriousness intensified, "Hmm?!"

"It's so difficult to form the pill?"

"But..."

"Focus, old soul!"

She stared intently at the medicinal liquid in the unusual flame furnace, applying her pill refinement techniques and experience to the utmost, but even so, the progress remained slow.

"At this rate, even if the pill forms, it will take too long."

"It will affect the efficacy."

"Fire, come again!"

Buzz...

The Earth Heart Demon Flame and the Unceasing Swallowing Flame appeared one after the other.

Xiao Ling'er cultivated the Fire Emperor's Scripture, allowing her to perfectly control various unusual flames.

Yao Mu's experience was astonishing, and she applied it skillfully...

...

In the late hours of the night, Xiao Ling'er emerged from her cultivation.

Fire Kunlun immediately approached, "Young friend, how was it?"

"If..."

"There's still time, I'll go and get another set!"

Xiao Ling'er: "..."

Impressive.

These materials were so hard to obtain, and yet he wanted to gather another set within a day?

"I won't fail you."

Xiao Ling'er smiled and took out a small jade bottle, placing it in her palm.

"But there's something I must say beforehand."

"This pill is a self-created formula, never seen or taken before."

"I created it based on my understanding of unusual flames and my pill refinement expertise."

"In my opinion, it should have a good effect, but I can't guarantee it."

"Whether to take it or not is up to you, Yun'er."

Fire Kunlun's expression froze.

But Huo Yun'er didn't hesitate, "I trust you!"

She took the jade bottle, "Thank you. You can rest now. We'll know the results tomorrow when the Taiyin Star appears."

Action:

Xiao Ling'er nodded in agreement, feeling quite exhausted. Although Yao Mu was the one leading the pill refinement, it was Xiao Ling'er's body that was being used, and she naturally bore a portion of the energy expenditure. Moreover, the rank of the pill was too high, putting immense pressure on her, making it far from easy.

A day passed without incident.

The second day, night.

Taiyin Star rose, and the bright moon hung high.

The moonlight was like water, causing even those within the Fire Virtue Sect, built atop Flame Mountain, to feel a chill.

Inside the forbidden grounds of the Fire Virtue Sect.

Huo Yun'er and her father, Xiao Ling'er, the little girl, and several high-ranking members of the Fire Virtue Sect were present. They formed a circle around Huo Yun'er, who was seated cross-legged in the center.

Fire Kunlun looked up at the high-hanging bright moon, took a deep breath, and turned to Huo Yun'er, who was holding her breath and concentrating. He spoke softly, "YaYa, if you have any regrets, now is the time to speak up."

"Father," Huo Yun'er replied.

Huo Yun'er smiled gently, "I've already made my decision."

"Begin!"

Fire Kunlun frowned, then nodded slightly, "Alright."

"Then you..."

"Be careful!"

"Begin!"

Fire Kunlun no longer hesitated and nodded to the elders, "Release the seal!"

The high-ranking members of the Fire Virtue Sect received the order and formed hand seals, releasing mysterious auras that filled the air. From the depths of the forbidden grounds, a terrifying heat wave surged forth.

"Such an astonishing aura," Xiao Ling'er thought to herself, surprised.

With her body bearing the Unusual Flame, her perception was even more acute, allowing her to clearly sense the power of this Unusual Flame.

"It's probably no less formidable than my current strongest, the Hundred-Forged Divine Fire."

"Indeed, the Fire Virtue Sect has been feeding it for many years."

"The difficulty is not low."

Xiao Ling'er waved her hand and, using the Earth Core Demon Flame as a source, set up a protective barrier to shield the little girl. Otherwise, without any cultivation, she would surely be unable to withstand the pressure.

"Huff."

Huo Yun'er smiled slightly and then took out the pill refined by Xiao Ling'er.

Unexpectedly, the pill was not 'cold-natured' but instead was quite scorching.

Even to the naked eye, the pill appeared to be a burning flame.

Upon seeing it, everyone was shocked.

But Huo Yun'er still showed no hesitation; she merely glanced at it and swallowed it in one go.

"Come!"

Fire Kunlun shouted.

Boom!!!

In the depths of the forbidden grounds, the flames erupted and rose into the sky.

"Roar!!!"

In the next moment, the towering flames surged and transformed into a ferocious fire dragon, roaring towards the sky.

The sound waves shook the air, causing dizziness.

"The Spirit Mind is about to be born!"

Yao Mu exclaimed, "No wonder she chose this moment."

"This is the strongest stage of Unusual Flame control a person can achieve. If it progresses further and gains consciousness, Huo Yun'er will surely fail."

"So that's the case," Xiao Ling'er said, narrowing her eyes as she watched the Dragon Bone Flame from a distance.

She asked herself, if it were her, using the Burning Flame Technique as a foundation and with the assistance of three Unusual Flames, the success rate of refining and absorbing it would be quite high.

But she didn't have any thoughts of taking it for herself.

She merely had this thought and nothing more.

"Come!"

Huo Yun'er formed hand seals, ready for the next step.

"Suppress it!"

An elder of the Fire Virtue Sect stood up, and together with the others, they worked to suppress the roaring fire dragon. It struggled fiercely but was ultimately overpowered and quickly shrank.

In the end, it was only about a foot long.

"Huff."

Huo Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief and then, using a secret technique, sucked it into her body from a distance.

Hiss!!!

It was like swallowing the entire world.

The fire dragon, along with a large patch of air, was pulled into Huo Yun'er's stomach. She immediately sat cross-legged and used the secret technique and her own strength to try to suppress it.

However, the nurtured Dragon Bone Flame had already grown to an extremely powerful state.

In just an instant, she suffered intense pain, and her body immediately ignited with raging flames.

Her face turned pale, and she clenched her teeth, enduring the pain.

Fire Kunlun's face turned white, his fists clenched, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"This is bad," an elder whispered. "The resistance of the Dragon Bone Flame is beyond our expectations. If this continues, the success rate will likely drop below ten percent."

As the words fell.

Bang!

A muffled sound came from Huo Yun'er's body, as if something had exploded.

Then, another flame emerged, but it was gentle and didn't harm Huo Yun'er. Instead, it helped her fight against and assimilate the Dragon Bone Flame, even protecting her physical body.

"The pill is taking effect!"

Fire Kunlun rejoiced.

Several elders were also amazed.

"Is there such a pill in this world?
