Chapter 88 - Formation of the Elixir!

The Yin Evil Cage is an intermediate magical technique within the Nine Yin Fiend God Technique, requiring the realm of unification to cast at will. At this moment, Leng Mo could only slowly condense it by expending half of his Yin Evil Power.

Fire Eater seemed to recognize the power of this technique and dashed toward Leng Mo. However, Leng Yan wouldn’t let him interrupt Leng Mo’s spellcasting. The Sun Essence Wheel “whirled” out, intercepting Fire Eater mid-flight.

Stepping forward, Leng Yan’s Spirit of Desire slipped like rainbow threads into Fire Eater’s body, attempting to “adhere” to his soul and entangle his consciousness.

Yet, Fire Eater’s resolve was strong. Before Leng Yan could reach him, Fire Eater roared and broke free from the illusory realm!

This brief hindrance bought Leng Mo time to complete his spell. The massive black cage descended upon Fire Eater. As he attempted to escape, Leng Yan quickly sent the spirit-fixing needle whistling into Fire Eater’s head.

However, the unexpected occurred!

The spirit-fixing needle had no effect on Fire Eater. Leaping into the air, he was about to escape the Yin Evil Cage’s bounds when Leng Yan swiftly conjured four ice walls to block his path, forcing him back.

“Boom!”

The Yin Evil Cage crashed down, trapping Fire Eater inside, although Leng Yan knew it wouldn’t hold him for long.

Yet, the critical weakness of Fire Eater remained elusive, and attacking elsewhere seemed negligible.

Leng Yan contemplated using Fiend Thunder to strike inside Fire Eater, but never found the opportunity.

Suddenly, Leng Yan had a thought.

Although the spirit-fixing needle hadn’t worked, it had entered Fire Eater’s body, which could potentially reveal the vital point they sought.

“Roar! You’re courting death! Do you think this will hold me?” Fire Eater, trapped within the cage, crashed about and roared furiously.

Leng Yan linked his mind to the spirit-fixing needle, navigating inside Fire Eater. But all he observed was magma-could their only option be to blow it apart?

Just as Leng Yan felt a tinge of disappointment, he suddenly noticed a red flame flickering in the magma at Fire Eater’s lower back, corresponding to the Dantian area.

“A fire sprite? So it’s a flame of magma, and that flame must be where its soul resides! No wonder the spirit-fixing needle had no effect when the soul isn’t in the head. If only the spirit-fixing needle could, like the seven emotions and six desires technique, adhere to it on its own!” Leng Yan mused with a smile.

The spirit-fixing needle moved through the magma towards the flame. With a “bang,” the needle pierced the flame, and the Blood-colored Altar materialized.

As Fire Eater’s soul got trapped, his body abruptly halted its movements. Leng Yan quickly threw two Fiend Thunders into Fire Eater’s mouth. Leng Mo then removed the Yin Evil Cage, and Leng Yan kicked Fire Eater’s body, sending it flying a hundred feet away. The spirit-fixing needle was then retracted.

Simultaneously!

The Fiend Thunder detonated, tearing Fire Eater’s body into pieces.

While his body was destroyed, Fire Eater’s fiery soul attempted to flee back into the magma. Leng Yan was not going to let him escape. He reached the edge of the magma more swiftly and refroze the magma.

“All Fires Return to the Origin!”

Above Leng Yan’s head, a crimson flame blazed, and as Leng Yan chanted, all the flames within the Volcano were drawn to his fire essence.

Naturally, Fire Eater’s fiery soul was no exception. After all, Leng Yan’s fire essence was the supreme primordial fire.

“No! Stop…”

Fire Eater resisted mightily against the pull of Leng Yan’s primordial flame, but was gradually absorbed by it. Without a body, Fire Eater was no longer a threat!

“I warned you, if you didn’t obediently return to the magma, today I’d bring you back to your origin!” Leng Yan intensified the draw, directly absorbing Fire Eater’s soul.

“Roar…”

With a dreadful howl, the consciousness within Fire Eater’s soul was refined by Leng Yan’s primordial flame, while the remaining soul flame melded into Leng Yan’s fire essence, enlarging it further.

Moreover, this soul flame contained some of Fire Eater’s memories. For instance, the Falling Flame magical technique, which Leng Yan quickly mastered.

After Leng Yan eliminated Fire Eater, he swept his spiritual awareness around to ensure there were no other dangers.

He then positioned Leng Mo beside the alchemy furnace, just in case, while Leng Yan himself approached the edge of the magma. He mentally reviewed the cultivation method for Falling Flame repeatedly, then began forming seals with his hands and murmured, “Flame of Fire, merge with Divine Power, transform magma into stone, Falling Flame!”

As Leng Yan continuously shifted through the spells, the frozen magma began to boil again, with its scorching temperature rising dramatically. Leng Yan’s fire essence emerged from his body, voraciously consuming the flames from the magma!

By the time dawn arrived the next day, Leng Yan’s fire essence had grown even larger. Within his primordial fire essence, a red globule of magma could be seen pulsing with the rhythm of the flames!

This was the Falling Flame Divine Power he learned from Fire Eater. Due to his primordial essence, Leng Yan cultivated it very rapidly. After a night of absorption, he had drawn out nearly all the fire essence power from the magma, which had turned from a blood-red to a brownish-grey hue!

“The elixir is ready to be unveiled!” Leng Yan stood up and approached the alchemy furnace, motioning for Leng Mo to step back and stand guard. With a wave of his hand, the lid of the furnace flew off with a bang.

Immediately afterward, a golden elixir radiating Golden Light floated out!

With another gesture, the golden core moved into Leng Yan’s hand. Holding it in his palm, Leng Yan brought out Dongfang Caiyun, cradling her in his arms.

He gently opened Dongfang Caiyun’s mouth and placed the Qingyun Pill inside, infusing it with essence power to activate its effects.

The Qingyun Pill dissolved into golden streams that coursed through Dongfang Caiyun’s entire body. Leng Yan then dissipated the ice covering her.

With the antidote from the Qingyun Pill, Dongfang Caiyun’s pale face regained a healthy flush, and areas tainted by poison blood emitted black liquid that scabbed over. Ultimately, even the scars vanished without a trace!

As Dongfang Caiyun let out a soft moan and slowly regained consciousness, she saw herself in Leng Yan’s arms and blushed with a hint of shyness.

Although the toxins in Dongfang Caiyun’s body were purged, she remained weak and softly said, “Thank you, Leng Yan!”

Seeing Dongfang Caiyun awake, Leng Yan let out a sigh of relief and smiled gently, saying, “It’s good that you’re awake. Take some time to rest here. I’ve set up a seal outside, so it’s very safe.”

Knowing that Leng Yan was about to leave, Dongfang Caiyun, with his assistance, sat up comfortably and smiled faintly. She then took a few primordial spirit elixirs and began her recovery.

Leng Yan stood up, leaving Leng Mo behind to protect Dongfang Caiyun. He had an important task to attend to.

But before undertaking this task, Leng Yan needed to scout the area within a few dozen miles to ensure he wouldn’t be interrupted.

Mounting his flying sword, Leng Yan swiftly flew out of the Volcano, accompanied by five queen bees, heading forward.

Along the way, any demonic beast, regardless of its realm, was swiftly eliminated by Leng Yan and the queen bees in the shortest time possible.

Within a day, Leng Yan had slain thousands of demonic beasts, accumulating plenty of materials that would be useful for future alchemy or weapon refining.

After thoroughly scouting the area, Leng Yan began setting up seals. He spared no effort this time. Around the Volcano, he established millions of seals, with Fiend Thunder hidden within them.

These seals were extremely perilous, and around the crater, he camouflaged ten queen bees within the seals.

Once everything was prepared, Leng Yan returned to the Volcano!

By this time, Dongfang Caiyun had regained some vitality, though her ordeal had severely sapped her vital energy, and she would not recover quickly.

Leng Yan positioned himself a hundred feet away from Dongfang Caiyun, sitting cross-legged. From his immortal land, he took out the golden core of the unicorn deer. Leng Yan aimed to break through his realm with it. If successful, he could advance to the mid-stage of the primordial qi realm. Then, with his own strength, he could challenge cultivators at the initial stage of the unification realm. Coupled with his magical treasures and cultivation techniques, he might even contend with those in the mid-stage of the unification realm!

Leng Yan also intended to use this opportunity to observe Dongfang Caiyun’s behavior after the incident. Would she be someone ungrateful or one who reciprocates kindness? After all, Dongfang Caiyun was an assassin, and Leng Yan had to be cautious. Even he found it contradictory-why save her if he needed to be on guard against her?
