People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 105 Sister Cao Ying is going to break down
On the island in the middle of the lake.

Cao Ying was alone, sitting quietly cross-legged under the lotus seat where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire temporarily resided.

After rounds of consumption, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire is now extremely weak. Even without being restrained, it will not cause trouble again without provocation. It will only instinctively absorb energy between heaven and earth to replenish itself.

Outside the island, Chen Xiao and the other two stood by the lake, watching the situation on the island from afar.

At this point, even Cao Xi, a powerful Dou Zong master, became a little nervous.

After all, once Cao Ying started refining the strange fire, others would be powerless to help even if they wanted to.

"Fourth Elder, don't worry too much. Cao Ying is quite strong, and her soul power is even stronger. On the other hand, the power of the strange fire is only one tenth of what it was. There is no reason for her to fail." Chen Xiao laughed out loud.

"It's hard not to be nervous right now. Cao Ying is the most talented person in my Cao family. Unfortunately, she's only interested in refining medicine. If she had put more effort into cultivation, she would have at least reached the level of Dou Ling by now, and refining the strange fire would have been much easier."

"This time, the family prepared a lot of Ice Spirit Cold Spring and five Frost Spirit Pills for her. After taking these pills, a layer of spiritual frost will form inside and outside her body, which can resist the damage of the strange fire to the greatest extent. In addition, there is also a Dou Wang Pill. This pill can temporarily give the user the strength of a Dou Wang level. If taken when things are hopeless, with the strength of a Dou Wang, it should be possible to expel the strange fire from the body. Although the side effects of taking this pill are serious, at least it can save her life."

Cao Xi counted the preparations that the Cao family had made for Cao Ying one by one, but even with such thorough preparations, in his heart, Cao Ying's success rate in refining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was still only about 50%. It was conceivable how high the risk of refining the strange fire was.

Crunchy~
Zi Yan swallowed the pill in her mouth and sent her blessings as usual.

"Sister Cao Ying will definitely succeed, just like Sister Medusa. I will need Sister Cao Ying to help me make pills in the future."

"Then let's begin with my good words!"

The three of them looked up and saw that Cao Ying, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, had opened his eyes.

She took a deep breath and stared at the cluster of green flames that was only the size of a baby's fist. Then, without hesitation, she stretched out her jade hand and grabbed the green flames.

At this moment, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire surged against the wind, and with Cao Ying as the center, it spread rapidly in all directions, until the entire island in the middle of the lake was covered with a layer of blue fire wall, making it difficult for the naked eye to see inside, and even the soul power was isolated outside.

"Next, it depends on her ability."

Cao Xi murmured, waved his hand and cast a barrier, completely blocking the space around the island in the middle of the lake.

At this moment, the three people were blocked by the wall of fire. When they looked towards the island, it was like looking at flowers in the fog, which was very worrying.

Time passed minute by minute, and in this anxious wait, a quarter of an hour passed.

Suddenly, the three of them clearly heard a muffled groan mixed with pain from the green fire cover, and then the green fire wall slowly dissipated.

"Did it succeed?" Zi Yan looked at it curiously.

"How can it be so fast? I just swallowed the origin. The next step is to temper my body with the strange fire, and that will really begin." Chen Xiao rubbed Zi Yan's head.

Looking over at this moment, one can see that Cao Ying's body is covered with a thick layer of frost, protecting her body. It is precisely because of this layer of frost that her hair, clothes and other things that are easily burned are still intact.

But after she swallowed the fire, the high temperature of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire radiated from within, causing the frost layer on her body to thin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If this continues, the classic clothes-explosion scene is not far away.

"Fourth Elder, let's leave first. Zi Yan, you stay and help watch over us. Come back and tell us if anything happens."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Zi Yan nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao and Cao Xi did not stay any longer and left the range of the barrier first.

The boring wait was the most torturous. Chen Xiao wanted to comfort Cao Xi, but seeing that he was absent-minded, he was too lazy to say anything more and just waited for Zi Yan's news.

Another quarter of an hour later, Zi Yan suddenly appeared, startling the dazed Cao Xi.

"Oh no, Sister Cao Ying is going to break down!"

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Chen Xiao and Cao Xi's faces, Zi Yan took out a jade bottle from her ring, controlled the strength and squeezed it lightly, and dense cracks appeared.

"Sister Cao Ying's face looks like this now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao and Cao Xi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Tempering the body with strange fire is a torture from the inside out. Even with the assistance of Frost Spirit Pill and Ice Spirit Cold Spring, it is inevitable that the body will suffer some trauma.

It's like the phoenix reborn from the ashes. If you can get through this, you will have a new life with a broad sky and a vast sea. If you can't, you will be reduced to ashes.

"As long as she remains in the state of refining, everything else is trivial. We can explore it later."

Chen Xiao waved his hand and sent Zi Yan away.

Seeing Zi Yan freely entering and exiting the barrier he had set up, Cao Xi's face flashed with astonishment.

"This Miss Zi Yan is truly...amazing!"

"I can't envy her racial talent. When she was at Canaan College, even the medicinal materials management warehouse couldn't defend against her."

Cao Xi was speechless, as various Warcraft races flashed through his mind rapidly, and finally stopped at the four words "Taixu Ancient Dragon", the leader of the three major Warcraft races.

He hadn't seen it, but he had heard of it.

Rumor has it that the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan is born with the power of control over space, and can freely tear space apart and create space barriers.

One can even stroll leisurely in the turbulent void that intimidates countless powerful people.

This clan is extremely mysterious, coming and going without a trace. Although they rarely appear on the mainland, their status as the supreme monster is recognized.

hiss~
The more he thought about it, the more similar it seemed, and Cao Xi couldn't help but gasp.

At the same time, he became even more curious about Chen Xiao. The ancient race, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, were entities that would intimidate the larger powers of Zhongzhou, yet he had actually made friends with them, and their relationship was so good...

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out at all!
"Young friend, when you come to Zhongzhou in the future, you must come to visit the Cao family."

"I will definitely bother you often."

After realizing Zi Yan's peculiarity, Cao Xi was finally distracted and stopped worrying about Cao Ying.

In this state, three hours passed quietly in the blink of an eye.

It was also at this time that Scout Zi Yan appeared again.

However, seeing her coming out of the barrier calmly and leisurely, with an expression that looked like she was going to keep the secret, Chen Xiao and Cao Xi could guess the result and both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Cao Xi is a member of the Cao family, so there is no need to say much about his behavior.

As for Chen Xiao, it was because Cao Ying's successful refining was of great benefit to him.

In the original trajectory, even without the blessing of the strange fire, Cao Ying could refine eighth-grade elixirs at the Zhongzhou Alchemy Conference. Now that she has the strange fire, her path to becoming an alchemist will only be smoother.

Having such a backup alchemist with unlimited potential is naturally a happy thing.

Although he guessed the result, seeing Zi Yan's expression of "just ask me", Chen Xiao still satisfied her evil taste.

"How about it?"

"It's exactly the same as Sister Medusa. It was a close call. Sister Cao Ying has successfully refined it. You can go in and take a look now." Zi Yan replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Cao Xi felt completely relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately called Chen Xiao, removed the barrier, and quickly headed towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Chen Xiao was dragged far behind by Zi Yan, listening to her muttering.

"That's not right. I was wrong just now. Sister Cao Ying is not as big as Sister Medusa."

Chen Xiao paused and looked down at Zi Yan.

This is nonsense. Cao Ying is less than thirteen years old, and that Queen Medusa is more than ten times older. She is definitely younger than Queen Medusa. Anyone can see it.

Soon, the two arrived at the island in the middle of the lake.

At this time, Cao Ying had finished refining, and her pretty cheeks still had the redness left by the high temperature. She changed into a brand new dress, which was different from the previous style, but still black.

This enchanting woman from the Cao family seems to love the color black.

At this moment, she stretched out her palm and showed Cao Xi the strange fire that she had just successfully refined. A cluster of green flames rose in her palm, as if she was controlling it with her own fingers.

However, when Chen Xiao approached, the fighting spirit in his body only slightly flowed on the surface, and the green flame in Cao Ying's palm unconsciously shrank, like a kerosene lamp that was about to run out, as if it might go out at any time.

Seeing this, Cao Ying opened her red lips slightly, a little confused.

Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and the fighting spirit flowing through his body dissipated.

Facts have proven that ordinary strange fire does not have any restraint on him. On the contrary, he has the upper hand.

However, this was within expectations. After all, even the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Strange Fire List, would be severely damaged by the heavenly cold, let alone the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you. Now that I have the strange fire, I finally have about 20% to 30% chance of refining a fifth-grade elixir. If you need a fifth-grade elixir during this period and you are not afraid that I will ruin the herbs, I can give it a try."

Cao Ying was in a very good mood after successfully refining the strange fire.

With her personality, she would never say anything about luck, as that would be a denial of her own abilities.

Now that she has mastered the strange fire, she can't wait to try to refine fifth-grade elixirs, which shows her level of confidence.

"Then please help me refine some Qingyuan Pills."

Chen Xiao chuckled and took out a bunch of medicinal herbs from his storage ring and handed them to Cao Ying.

Each level has corresponding elixirs to assist in cultivation, and there may be more than one kind. The grades will vary depending on the efficacy of the medicine.

The Qingyuan Pill is a fifth-grade pill that can increase the cultivation speed of the Douhuang level.

"Qingyuan Pill? I heard from my fourth uncle that you are only a seven-star Dou Wang. Are you going to prepare pills for the Dou Huang level now?" Cao Ying took the herbs and replied with some surprise.

"Don't you want to practice? I'll give it a try. Besides, it won't be long before I reach the Black Horn Region and I will definitely reach the Nine-Star Dou Wang level!"

"Fourth Elder, Cao Ying, you guys prepare first. Zi Yan and I will go say goodbye to our friends and leave early tomorrow morning!"

After saying something to the two of them, Chen Xiao didn't delay any longer. He spread his fighting spirit wings, took Zi Yan with him and headed out of the city.

After watching the two disappear from his sight, Cao Xi took a long time to look away and looked at Cao Ying beside him.

"What do you think of Chen Xiao?"

"His talent is self-evident, and he's easy to get along with. Judging from his interactions with Zi Yan, he's very kind to those around him, and he's also good-looking. That's all. I don't know much about the rest. Uncle, is there anything else you'd like to ask? If not, I'll go back to refining medicine."

Not knowing what Cao Xi was asking specifically, Cao Ying simply answered everything she could think of.

Cao Xi opened his mouth, speechless.
