Chapter 712 Refining the Spiritual Flame, A Complete Transformation (Thanks to readers like "Only Seeking Peach Blossom Spring" for their generous donations)

Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged as he watched the blood mist erupt from the Eagle Demon.

He wouldn't even flinch if many of these demonic cultivators who trample on the lives of innocent people died.

After confirming that the Eagle Demon was completely dead, Lu Qing took Xiao Yan back to Jiuli Village.

"Xiaoyan, can I take a look at the cultivation technique you're practicing now?"

After returning home, Lu Qing suddenly asked.

"What's wrong, brother? Xiaoyan's martial arts technique was taught to her by you back then, haven't you forgotten?"

Xiaoyan trembled and suddenly felt a little guilty.

"The First Holy Lord said that the cultivation method you have been practicing over the years has a kind of unorthodox approach. I want to see what's going on."

Lu Qing had actually noticed the difference in Xiao Yan's aura long ago.

Although she seemed very happy these past few days, how could he possibly hide the icy aura emanating from her very bones?

In addition, the First Holy Lord and Han Ling Shuang had also privately reminded him, so Lu Qing naturally wouldn't ignore it.

He only asked about it now because he had seen Xiaoyan very happy these past few days.

Hearing the seriousness in her brother's tone, Xiaoyan fell silent.

She had been avoiding talking about this with her brother, and he hadn't asked her about it in the past few days, which secretly put her at ease.

It seems that in the end, there was no escaping it.

"Brother, then promise Xiaoyan that you won't be angry after I tell you."

Xiao Yan said pitifully.

"Don't worry, I just want to see if I can solve your problem with the cultivation method. Why would I be angry?"

Lu Qing rubbed his younger sister's head.

Hearing her brother's gentle tone, Xiaoyan felt calm and slowly began to explain the cultivation technique she was currently practicing.

As Lu Qing listened, he couldn't help but frown.

With his current level of cultivation, he naturally immediately recognized the problem.

The cultivation technique that Xiaoyan originally practiced was indeed taught to her by him.

However, her path of cultivation has clearly gone astray.

What was originally a gradual and progressive cultivation method was practiced by her in an extremely extreme and unorthodox way.

While such cultivation can lead to rapid improvement in cultivation level, it also carries significant hidden dangers.

Firstly, Xiaoyan's personality was also affected by the cultivation technique.

They may unconsciously become emotionally detached, and over time, they may even gradually extinguish their own emotions.

This is why the First Holy Lord and Han Ling Shuang felt that Xiao Yan's personality had become increasingly cold over the years.

Secondly, Xiaoyan continued to cultivate along this path, and although her cultivation level improved rapidly, the magical power she condensed was extremely powerful, surpassing that of many cultivators at the same level.

However, the magical power cultivated in such an unorthodox way also has considerable hidden dangers.

Because the condensed and cold magical power was too strong, it was also a considerable burden on her physical body and meridians.

If this continues, it will continuously erode her potential foundation.

In the early stages, the impact may not be significant, but when one reaches the later stages of the Golden Core realm or even when attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, this hidden danger will become very apparent.

At that time, it will become extremely difficult for Xiaoyan to achieve the primordial spirit.

It's even possible that the extreme power and immense force within her body could cause her physical form to collapse.

"elder brother?"

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Qing's furrowed brows and felt uneasy again.

She wasn't unaware that there were problems with her path of cultivation; she was just afraid that her brother would blame her.

Lu Qing snapped out of his daze, looked at the unease on Xiao Yan's face, and suddenly smiled, reaching out to ruffle her hair again.

"Don't worry, I'm not blaming you. I know that the reason you took such an extreme path is because you wanted to improve your cultivation as soon as possible and go to the starry sky to find us, right?"

"Mmm." Xiaoyan nodded gently.

She wouldn't admit it to others, but she wouldn't hide her feelings from her brother.

Xiao Li rested on Lu Qing's shoulder without making a sound, only blinking her eyes.

Only then did it realize that Xiaoyan had such a plan.

"Brother, is Xiaoyan's condition very bad right now?"

Xiao Yan knew that Lu Qing always paid great attention to her cultivation foundation.

Back then, in order to solidify her foundation, she was made to directly cultivate Qi, and before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, she was not allowed to practice any combat techniques.

Now, because I'm too eager for quick success, I'm wasting my foundation and potential to improve my cultivation, which will definitely disappoint my brother.

"It's not that bad. Don't forget, your brother is now a Nascent Soul expert. Solving this little problem of yours is a piece of cake," Lu Qing said with a smile.

Lu Qing wasn't just trying to comfort Xiao Yan; he genuinely had ways to solve her cultivation problems, and there was more than one way.

After all, his mind contained countless martial arts techniques.

Not to mention that he also possesses supernatural abilities. Xiao Yan's problem might be troublesome for other cultivators, but it's not too difficult for him to solve.

Lu Qing thought for a moment, then took out a jade box covered with runes from his Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

When Xiao Li saw the jade box, her heart skipped a beat: "Ah Qing, isn't this...?"

"Yes, that's the thing."

Lu Qing opened the jade box, and immediately the temperature in the room became extremely cold.

Even with Xiao Yan's exceptional talent for cultivation, which involved skin as smooth as ice and bones, and the fact that she was practicing an extreme ice-based technique, she still felt a chill that seeped into her bones.

But at the same time, the moment the jade box was opened, a sudden longing arose in her heart, as if the contents of the jade box held a great attraction for her.

Xiao Yan looked into the jade box and saw a wisp of dark blue flame floating inside.

Both the surrounding chill and her inner longing stemmed from this flame.

"Brother, what is this?"

Xiaoyan never expected that what would stir her heart would be a wisp of flame.

This wisp of dark blue flame was also quite peculiar; although it was a flame, it exuded an extreme chill, making it seem rather mystical.

"This flame is called the Mysterious Ice Cold Flame. It is an extremely rare and top-grade spiritual flame. Don't underestimate its size. Xiao Li and I snatched it from the hands of three Nascent Soul experts."

Lu Qing explained.

Indeed, what he took out was the top-grade spiritual fire he had obtained in the Ice Soul Valley, the Profound Ice Cold Flame.

"A top-grade spirit fire?"

Xiaoyan's eyes widened immediately.

She immediately realized how precious that wisp of dark blue flame was.

The fact that it could attract three Nascent Soul level experts to fight over it means it must be an extremely precious treasure. "Yes, this is what A-Qing and I obtained by breaking the seal while the three Nascent Soul level experts were fighting. I even personally collected this spiritual fire. How about it, Xiao Yan, aren't I amazing!"

Xiao Li raised her head, looking proud.

"Yes! Impressive!" Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly.

She wasn't just giving Xiao Li a perfunctory answer; she genuinely thought it was amazing.

Keep in mind, those were three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Xiao Yan had no idea just how powerful a true primordial spirit could be.

But the monster formed by the fusion of those three demons was powerful enough to make them despair.

According to his brother, the monster had only barely reached the edge of the Nascent Soul Realm, and was far inferior to a true Nascent Soul expert.

Even such a powerful monster is far inferior to a true Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

Xiao Li was able to obtain such a precious treasure right under the noses of three powerful Nascent Soul cultivators; this is beyond just being impressive.

"This Xuanbing Cold Flame is a spiritual fire of the ice element, containing a trace of the power of the ice law, possessing the ability to freeze all things, even the soul."

If one can refine it, it will have the power to transform one's tendons and marrow, and even undergo a complete metamorphosis.

Xiaoyan, once you refine it into your natal spirit fire, you will naturally be able to make up for the damage to your foundation.

Furthermore, it can refine your magical power, completely resolving the potential dangers of excessively rapid cultivation advancement.

Lu Qing handed the jade box to Xiao Yan.

"Is this precious spiritual fire really for me to refine? Brother, you and Xiao Li worked so hard to obtain it," Xiao Yan asked, somewhat dazed.

"What are you saying, girl? This spirit fire was originally prepared for you. Xiao Li and I don't need it."

Lu Qing gently flicked Xiao Yan's head: "Besides, who told you that we went through a lot of trouble to get it? The reason we secretly seized this wisp of spiritual fire was only because brother needed to hide his identity. Otherwise, those three Nascent Soul experts would not be a match for brother."

Hearing this, Xiaoyan scratched her head and widened her eyes: "Brother, do you mean that even if three Nascent Soul Realm experts joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for you now?"

“Ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are indeed no match for me.” Lu Qing did not deny it.

Xiao Li added, "What's so special about the Nascent Soul Realm? When A Qing was in the Golden Core Realm, she killed many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators."

Xiaoyan's mouth gaped open.

She realized that her brother had definitely hidden a lot of things when he recounted his trip to the stars.

His and Xiao Li's experiences were far more thrilling than he described!

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll protect you. You should refine this wisp of Xuanbing Cold Flame to strengthen your foundation. Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up with Xiao Li. Although its realm is similar to yours, the monster that attacked the Holy Mountain that day was no match for it."

Although Xiao Yan is now at the same Golden Core Stage 6 as Xiao Li, there is still a significant gap in their actual strength.

Firstly, Xiao Li is already at the peak of the sixth level, and her cultivation level is much higher than Xiao Yan's.

Secondly, Xiaoyan's cultivation level was achieved through an unorthodox and extreme cultivation path.

It looks powerful, but its foundation is not solid enough and it lacks depth.

Furthermore, Xiao Li's experience traveling with Lu Qing in the Tianyuan Great World far surpasses that of Xiao Yan, both in terms of cultivation environment and opportunities.

Therefore, its current strength is naturally much greater than Xiaoyan's.

Xiaoyan's expression turned serious as she recalled how terrifying the monster had been that day.

She nodded gently: "Okay, then I'll refine this wisp of spiritual fire now."

Xiao Yan wasn't jealous of Xiao Li; rather, she didn't want to fall too far behind Xiao Li and the others in terms of strength.

Otherwise, if her brother were to go out and explore the stars again, he would probably leave her behind again, which she could not bear.

Immediately, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in the room, preparing to refine the Xuanbing Cold Flame.

Lu Qing then activated the array in the room to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing them.

Xiao Yan opened the jade box and, following the stirring in her heart, touched the wisp of dark blue flame with her mind.

Following Xiao Yan's mental guidance, the Xuanbing Cold Flame instantly entered Xiao Yan's dantian.

Instantly, Xiao Yan felt a chill that could almost freeze her soul, emanating from her dantian.

In the blink of an eye, layers of frost began to condense on her body.

Even she, with her naturally beautiful skin and delicate bones, could barely withstand it.

Xiao Yan dared not be careless and quickly focused her mind to begin refining the spiritual fire with all her might.

Lu Qing watched as the frost on Xiao Yan's body gradually thickened, but his expression remained unchanged, and he did not immediately offer his help.

It's best to do the task of subduing and refining spiritual flames yourself.

If Xiaoyan can successfully get through this hurdle, she will reap great benefits.

Not only will their talent undergo a transformation, but they will also be reborn, becoming even more gifted.

With his subsequent plans, it will only be a matter of time before his foundation catches up with Xiao Li and the others.

He also believed that Xiaoyan could refine the Xuanbing Cold Flame on her own.

After all, this girl has become much stronger than before, and has developed a strong resilience in her bones.

As Lu Qing had predicted, as time passed and night fell, Xiao Yan's aura became even more restrained.

The frost on his body gradually subsided and eventually disappeared completely.

A smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.

He knew that the most difficult hurdle was over. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Xiaoyan was able to completely subdue the Xuanbing Cold Flame and refine it into her own natal spirit fire.

Time continued to slip away quietly.

Finally, as dawn broke and the chickens raised by the villagers began to crow,...

Xiao Yan's body suddenly trembled, and her aura surged. A powerful icy aura emanated from her, instantly freezing the ground and spreading rapidly, threatening to completely freeze the entire house.

With a gentle flick of Lu Qing's wrist, the spreading of the ice immediately ceased.

It could only stay within a three-foot radius around Xiaoyan, and could not move out even a fraction of a step.

Lu Qing's intervention was extremely gentle, and it didn't even affect Xiao Yan's cultivation.

Another half hour passed, and Xiaoyan's aura surged again as she slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes first revealed an icy blue color, then slowly faded, finally turning into surprise.

"How was it? Did you successfully refine it?" Lu Qing asked.

"Yes!" Xiaoyan nodded heavily, her eyes full of surprise. "Brother, this Xuanbing Cold Flame is so magical. After I refined it, it took root in my dantian and is now constantly improving my physique."

I can sense that after this transformation is complete, not only will my foundation be greatly strengthened, but my strength will also increase significantly!

"It's still a top-grade spiritual fire, something that even Nascent Soul experts would covet. It does have some use."

Lu Qing smiled, not surprised by these changes.

"After this transformation is over, your brother has a surprise for you."
