Chapter 99: Dragon Bone Fire! Go, My Dear Friend! (Part 2)
"
"Unheard of!"
"The young friend from Moonseizing Sect, your pill refinement technique is truly astonishing. It's like a divine work, far beyond our Fire Virtue Sect."
"Senior, you flatter me," Xiao Ling'er said, staring at Huo Yun'er. Her expression remained tense, "Moreover, the pill is just an aid; it's not enough."
"..."
"Indeed."
As the initial excitement subsided, the Great Elder estimated the situation and sighed, "In my opinion, there's currently a three in ten chance of success."
"Three in ten..."
"It's still not enough."
"Far from enough!"
Xiao Ling'er formed hand seals and, using the Earth Core Demon Flame, transformed it into a rope-like structure that extended and bound Huo Yun'er's wrist, entering her body to lend her strength.
"Earth Core Demon Flame!"
Fire Kunlun and the others were envious.
But they were also delighted.
"The Unusual Flame obtained by Moonseizing Sect years ago has been passed down to this day?"
"With this, the success rate will greatly increase!"
They knew that Xiao Ling'er possessed more than one Unusual Flame.
After all, they were also aware of what had happened in the Tomb of the Flame-Swallowing Elder should be formatted as a JSON array, with each action being a separate object.
As they had expected, Xiao Ling'er took action. She first used the Unyielding Flame Swallowing technique and then the Unyielding Flame, further assisting Huo Yun'er.
With this, Huo Yun'er's pain noticeably lessened, and the speed of assimilating the Dragon Bone Flame increased.
The Dragon Bone Fire, sensing its impending assimilation, instinctively began to struggle fiercely.
However, under the combined suppression of the pill, Huo Yun'er's innate fire, and the two other unusual flames, it couldn't make much headway, and it was slowly being devoured and assimilated.
Half an hour passed.
Huo Yun'er was already nearing her limit.
Cracks appeared all over her body, and she even started to carbonize! Fire Kunlun was extremely heartbroken.
Fortunately, the Dragon Bone Fire was also at its last gasp and could be completely assimilated at any moment.
But...
At this critical moment, the Dragon Bone Fire suddenly counterattacked with a surge of energy, as if it had been gathering strength until this very moment.
The crowd's expressions changed.
Xiao Ling'er frowned.
If she were to engage in a real battle, she could hold her own against the Dragon Bone Fire, and she even had the confidence to suppress it.
But at this moment, Huo Yun'er's physical body was the battlefield, and Xiao Ling'er could only defend, making her too passive.
In this frenzied counterattack, the Dragon Bone Fire broke through their defenses.
Huo Yun'er's already precarious situation worsened as her delicate body rapidly carbonized.
Starting from her limbs, the carbonization spread, and within the blink of an eye, it had reached her torso.
"Not good!" Fire Kunlun exclaimed in shock.
"Young Miss!" The elders' faces turned ashen.
Could their efforts fail at this critical juncture?
They all wanted to lend Huo Yun'er a helping hand.
But they didn't possess unusual flames! Although they controlled many 'Demon Beast Life Flames' and were Great Powers, without unusual flames, they were of no use. If they injected their own flames, the Dragon Bone Fire would devour them, strengthening itself.
It would be like pouring oil on the fire.
So, they could only anxiously watch.
As they witnessed Huo Yun'er's body rapidly carbonizing, and the process accelerating, seeing her in pain, Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath.
"I... have one more method to resolve this crisis."
"But first, you must swear a Heavenly Dao Vow!"
They were all Great Powers, beyond the Seventh Fusion Stage!
To merge with the Dao was to merge with the Heavenly Dao, already touching upon the Dao Rules, and naturally, they could swear a Heavenly Dao Vow, not just a Dao Heart Vow.
The Heavenly Dao Vow was more powerful and binding!
In the midst of the crowd's joy and astonishment, Xiao Ling'er spoke rapidly, "From this moment on, unless I betray the Fire Virtue Sect, you and all members of the Fire Virtue Sect must not take action against me, nor reveal any information.
The elders, realizing the implications, quickly swore, "I, Fire Kunlun, swear upon the Heavenly Dao. Unless Xiao Ling'er betrays our Fire Virtue Sect, I and all members of the Fire Virtue Sect must not take action against her, nor reveal any information.
Those who break this vow will be forsaken by the Heavenly Dao, suffering endless torment, and their existence will be erased from the cycle of life and death, never to reincarnate!"
He didn't know what Xiao Ling'er was planning.
But for his daughter, he wouldn't hesitate to make such a vow.
The elders also realized the significance and swore as well.
After all, this vow wasn't unreasonable.
Upon reflection, they understood that Xiao Ling'er was about to use her trump card but didn't want to reveal it, and she feared that they might become greedy and demand more from her.
It was only right for them to take a risk to help and swear a vow to ensure her safety.
(Chapter End)
The Great Elder couldn't help but admit that he was moved. However, bound by the Heavenly Dao Vow, he could only let it go.
But then, he felt relieved.
"That's good."
"Indeed, that's good."
"With the constraint of the Heavenly Dao Vow, at least I won't lose myself and be controlled by greed."
He shuddered at the thought.
He wondered if the others had noticed anything, but...
Most likely, even with just those three Unusual Flames, their hearts wouldn't remain calm, right?
However...
Hehe.
After the initial scare, the Great Elder laughed.
Fire Kunlun had never imagined such a chaotic situation, but seeing Huo Yun'er's condition gradually improving, he finally felt a little better.
In that moment, he was almost overwhelmed by guilt.
He was also almost scared to death.
Fortunately...
For now, it seemed like the final outcome wasn't too bad.
Finally, after half an incense stick's worth of time, the Tianlong Bone Flame was completely assimilated by Huo Yun'er.
"Retrieve!"
Xiao Ling'er waved her hand, and the three Unusual Flames were instantly recalled. She then took a few steps forward, took out her healing pills, and fed them to Huo Yun'er, who now only had her head remaining.
The pill dissolved instantly, and its medicinal power spread throughout her body.
Huo Yun'er opened her eyes, gave Xiao Ling'er a grateful look, and then her head floated in the air as her limbs began to slowly regrow...
For a cultivator with a certain level of cultivation, regenerating severed limbs was not a difficult task.
A Fourth Firmament Realm cultivator could do it themselves.
With the assistance of pills, it would be even faster.
However, the prerequisite was that at least a part of the body remained intact!
For someone like Yao La, who only had a wisp of her soul left and not even half of her physical body, it was impossible.
Unless she chose soul possession or recreated her body with special materials.
But Yao La, being who she was, naturally refused to possess another's body!
"Thank you, young friend, for saving my life!"
"The Fire Virtue Sect owes you several favors."
"If there's anything you need in the future, the Fire Virtue Sect will do its utmost." Fire Kunlun clasped his fists and bowed to Xiao Ling'er, "Even if the Fire Virtue Sect can't help directly, I, personally, will not retreat."
He was very grateful.
Both publicly and privately, he felt the same.
"Fire Kunlun, you're too kind."
Xiao Ling'er helped him up and said, "I'm Huo Yun'er's close friend, and this is a favor I owe her personally. It's something we agreed upon long ago, so there's no need for this."
She wasn't worried about anything.
These people had all sworn Heavenly Dao Vows, so it was impossible for them to act against her.
Saving Huo Yun'er was also to fulfill a promise made in the past.
She never thought of asking for any reward.
"For you, it may just be a promise." Fire Kunlun said, "But for me, it's everything!"
"Her mother passed away early, and in my eyes, she is everything."
"If something happened to her today, even if I were to meet them in the afterlife, I wouldn't have the face to see them, mother and daughter."
"So, in the future, if there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Yao La was surprised, "This seemingly rough and tough man is actually a romantic at heart, and with such a personality, it's quite rare in the Immortal Cultivator world."
"Indeed."
Xiao Ling'er agreed.
She had wanted to refuse, but Yao La reminded her, "Don't be too quick to reject."
"Even if in your heart, you think they don't owe you anything and you don't want to accept their gratitude, you can still consider a different approach, such as making some kind of deal with them, for example, exchanging some benefits with them."
"For this matter, you can ask your Master."
"Oh?"
Xiao Ling'er was taken aback, then realized what Yao La meant.
"Right!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Teacher."
She immediately took out Lin Fan's Sound Transmission Jade Token and sent a message using her Divine Sense.
...
"Master, this trip has been successful. I've successfully established a friendly relationship with the Fire Virtue Sect. I'm not sure if they need to do anything for us?"
Lin Fan sat up.
"Wow, no wonder he's the protagonist template, 666."
"It's only been a short while, and he's already befriended another second-rate sect, and it's a top-tier one at that!"
"As for whether the Fire Virtue Sect needs to do anything..."
"It sounds like she can order the Fire Virtue Sect to do something for her?"
"Even more 6!"
Lin Fan concluded and replied, "The Fire Virtue Sect is renowned for its Tool Refinement, but our Moonseizing Sect is completely clueless in that aspect, and we're lacking."
"Can you see if you can negotiate with them and have them send an elder or disciple who is skilled in Tool Refinement Technique? They don't have to stay at our Moonseizing Sect permanently, just come once a month for a year."
"To help our elders and disciples refine treasures."
"Of course, we'll provide the materials ourselves."
"But, it's best to rely on ourselves. So, it would be even better if the elder they send can also teach us Tool Refinement Technique while they're here."
Lin Fan's thoughts were exceptionally clear.
For him, these things weren't important.
Not even his 'main quest'.
His main task was to develop the Moonseizing Sect!
To ensure the balanced and steady development of the sect.
Only by doing so could they have greater influence and attract more disciples with A-Rank talents and above! And then, they could have better conditions to cultivate them.
After that, as the disciples grow, it would be his own growth.
So, for Lin Fan, the main quests were twofold.
Develop the sect.
Recruit disciples!
Currently, Lin Fan was quite satisfied with his disciples. He had the protagonist template, a legendary assassin, and a normal A-Rank genius disciple in Liu Xinyue. But the sect was too weak, and the cultivation resources couldn't keep up, so their progress seemed slow.
Therefore, the primary main quest was to enhance the development of the sect.
And for an Immortal Sect, it could have its own focus and strengths, but ultimately, it must achieve 'comprehensive development in morality, wisdom, physique, and labor'.
Cultivation is of utmost importance.
But Pill Refinement, Tool Refinement, Talismans, Formations, and other fields are also indispensable.
Action: The Pill Refinement, for now, is not lacking, and will only wait for the disciples to grow before imparting her knowledge to Xiao Ling'er without reservation.
As for Formations...
Once the disciples mature, Lin Fan plans to assign more responsibilities to Fan Jianqiang.
This guy is a master of slacking off.
However, in the areas of talismans and tool refinement, she is almost clueless.
Naturally, she needs to ponder and improve in these aspects.
The Fire Virtue Sect is a top-tier sect in tool refinement, and due to their specialization, even most first-rate sects' tool refinement techniques can't compare.
Having them send someone to help with tool refinement and teach their techniques is undoubtedly a great idea.
"That's right."
"The Fire Virtue Sect's outer sect elder is currently at the Moon-Grasping Sect. All expenses will be covered by them."
Lin Fan adds, "This expense is still manageable."
After all, there aren't many expenses within the Moon-Grasping Sect.
Cough.
...
"As expected."
Xiao Ling'er finishes reading Lin Fan's reply and can't help but think, "Master, it's good that you reminded me just in time. Otherwise, I might have gone back on my word."
Yao Mu smiles lightly, "This is your strength."
"But it's also a weakness."
"You have high self-esteem and don't like to owe others. When faced with such situations, you tend to refuse, but in reality, you can consider it from a different perspective."
"It's not necessary to take advantage of others."
"But exchanging favors is a good thing."
"What you said makes sense!"
Xiao Ling'er nods, and a thought forms in her mind.
"Speaking of which, don't laugh at me, Senior, but I have a request..."
She conveys Lin Fan's proposal and then adds, "Our Moon-Grasping Sect has been struggling these years, losing most of our inheritances and depleting our resources. In terms of tool refinement techniques, we are almost clueless."
"We humbly request your sect's assistance."
"At the same time..."
"I have made significant progress in the way of pill refinement. If you don't mind, Senior..."
Hearing these words, the Great Elder knows trouble is coming.
Why are you acting so foolish at a critical moment?! He only hears the beginning and understands that Fire Kunlun is being considerate, not thinking too much, and doesn't even know whose inheritance Xiao Ling'er has obtained!
To boast about pill refinement techniques in front of them?
Aren't you afraid of losing face?!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The Great Elder starts coughing violently, causing Fire Kunlun to frown, "Great Elder, what are you doing?"
"Cough, Sect Master."
"I wanted to say, Xiao Ling'er has good intentions, how can we refuse?"
"Moreover, this is a great opportunity to deepen our relationship, why not seize it?"
"Furthermore, Xiao Ling'er is so kind-hearted, if you don't agree, it won't be good for our elder to go and help, right?"
"So, following my previous suggestion, we agree to Xiao Ling'er's request. There's no need for her to come every year to guide us, but if we have any questions about the way of pill refinement, we hope you can provide some guidance."
Seeing Fire Kunlun's slightly displeased expression, the Great Elder feels uncomfortable.
You understand nothing!
A terrible teammate!
Fortunately, Xiao Ling'er was also prepared for this, so under the Great Elder's lead, the matter is settled.
They also decide that when Xiao Ling'er returns, they will send an elder to help with tool refinement at the Moon-Grasping Sect and teach their disciples tool refinement techniques.
From now on, every year, they will go there.
The Great Elder volunteers to go himself.
Xiao Ling'er is naturally pleased with this arrangement.
Being a Great Elder in the Fire Virtue Sect, he is highly skilled in tool refinement techniques.
He is a genuine powerful cultivator!
...
A few days later, Huo Yun'er recovers.
Amidst her gratitude, she also expresses that she owes Xiao Ling'er a life debt and wants to go out and have fun with her.
But unfortunately, having just assimilated the Dragon Bone Fire, she needs some time to adapt and also conduct various 'experiments'.
From now on, most of her time will be spent in the Fire Virtue Sect.
After all, the Dragon Bone Fire is the Fire Virtue Sect's specialty in tool refinement.
On this day, their farewell is approaching.
Huo Yun'er's room.
The little girl is daydreaming, her presence almost non-existent.
Suddenly, Huo Yun'er takes the initiative, kissing Xiao Ling'er's lips, their lips intertwining, the warm and sweet sensation leaving Xiao Ling'er stunned.
Goosebumps cover her body.
"This?!"
"You?!?!"
Although they used to fool around, this is a first, right?! But soon, Xiao Ling'er is surprised!
It's not that Huo Yun'er is taking things further, but...
Something enters their mouths and flows into their bodies.
After careful sensing, she is astonished.
"This is...
"Unusual Flame?!"
Before she can react, Huo Yun'er steps back, her face flushed but pretending to be calm, like a rogue wiping the corner of her mouth, "Hey, it feels great~"
Simultaneously, she transmits her voice, "Don't tell anyone. I just realized that after assimilating the Dragon Bone Fire, it's like having a 'pregnancy', and as it matures, this 'pregnancy' also matures."
"So, the Dragon Bone Fire can be divided into two!"
"Or rather, this is a seed of the Dragon Bone Fire."
"With your abilities, you should be able to cultivate and utilize it."
"I hope that by the next time we meet, you'll have four types of unusual flames!"
"Only by doing so can we avoid others noticing."
"Go~"
She winks, "My dear friend."
