Junior sister, I really need to control you

"Senior brother, have you made your choice?"

Li Yinsheng walked over with a smile and ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's hair: "Well, I've already made my choice. What about Junior Sister?"

"I haven't finished reading it yet, senior brother, let's read it together!" Mu Xiaoyu said.

Li Yinsheng nodded, and with the guidance of the four Great Masters on the first floor, he and Mu Xiaoyu toured the rest of the treasure vault.

Compared to the second floor, the treasures on the first floor are significantly inferior.

After walking around, Li Yinsheng didn't find anything particularly valuable or useful.

My junior sister didn't smell anything unusual either.

Therefore, he finally let his junior sister choose a spiritual herb called "Ice Soul Grass".

This elixir is perfect for refining a pill that can aid in the refining of fire-elemental treasures. He figured that with his current alchemy skills, refining one wouldn't be difficult.

Moreover, it is still alive and carries two seeds.

It possesses the essence of life and death; you could try planting it.

Anyway, every time he goes into seclusion, his spiritual energy has a corresponding recovery time, so any excess would be a waste.

Chapter 163 Refining Spiritual Flame, Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce

On Wuxia Peak.

After selecting the treasures, Li Yinsheng took his junior sister and followed Elder Qin and Fellow Daoist Shangguan back to Five Clouds Peak.

Mu Xiaoyu was very happy to be back at Wuxia Peak.

Because on the day she returned to Wuxia Peak, Shangguan Ling'er fulfilled her promise to give her thirty catties of pastries.

When two maids in colorful clothes brought over two large wooden platters full of snacks, Mu Xiaoyu laughed as if she were a fool.

Taking advantage of his junior sister's good mood, Li Yinsheng simply took out the more than ninety fire seeds he had prepared for her.

Although she had refined fire seeds many times, Mu Xiaoyu still didn't immediately realize that nearly a hundred fire seeds appeared at the same time.

After realizing what had happened, her face turned several shades paler.

But she quickly calmed down—because this time was different from before, Sister Shangguan was here!

"Sister Shangguan, you'll protect me, right?" Mu Xiaoyu asked coquettishly, holding Shangguan Ling'er's hand.

Shangguan Ling'er rubbed Mu Xiaoyu's head: "Of course, Xiaoyu, focus on refining the fire seed. With your sister here, you won't feel any pain."

“Junior sister, I will also protect you this time,” Li Yinsheng said with a smile. “Although my skill in water magic is not as good as Miss Shangguan’s, I can still protect you.”

Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt incredibly emboldened.

"Senior brother, come on! I want to refine all these fire seeds!" she said, almost impatiently.

Senior brother pulled out so many sparks at once, he must have used up all his stock, right?

While Sister Shangguan is here, let's refine all of these quickly and see how that wicked senior brother will burn me next time!

Mu Xiaoyu had her own plans.

Seeing his exceptionally enthusiastic junior sister, Li Yinsheng was very pleased.

That's great! With your diligence, Junior Sister, these embers should be refined in just a few days.

In this way, Junior Sister's Three Yang Spiritual Fire will receive a leap in improvement.

That would be enough to refine the Nine Yang Spirit Fire.

Although her cultivation level is still somewhat lacking, the Three Yang Spiritual Flame and the Nine Yang Spiritual Flame share the same origin. As long as the Three Yang Spiritual Flame becomes strong enough, the difficulty of refining the Nine Yang Spiritual Flame will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, she also has a foundation in body refinement, which is quite helpful in refining the Nine Yang Spiritual Fire.

With the combined protection of himself, Miss Shangguan, and Elder Qin, refining the Nine Yang Spiritual Fire is absolutely safe.

It's just that there will inevitably be some unbearable burning pain.

However, given my junior sister's perseverance, I think she can withstand it.

Looking at his junior sister, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, swallowing a fire seed, and beginning to refine the fire seed under the protection of Shangguan Ling'er, Li Yinsheng's eyes were full of trust.

My junior sister has a firm Dao heart and outstanding perseverance, enough to refine spiritual fire!

……

a few days later.

As the last spark was refined, Mu Xiaoyu opened her eyes and stretched with a satisfied yawn.

With the double protection of Sister Shangguan and her senior brother, she did not feel any severe burning pain throughout the entire process.

At best, it's like being constantly soaked in very hot water.

"Senior brother! The fire seed has been refined!" Mu Xiaoyu jumped up. "What do we do next?"

Li Yinsheng smiled slightly and took out the Nine Yang Spirit Fire.

A fist-sized reddish-orange flame burned quietly in his palm.

At the center of the flame was a darker, more vibrant red-orange bead, which looked to be only the size of a thumb.

"What is this? Senior Brother's Three Yang Spiritual Fire looks so strange, it's different from mine."

Mu Xiaoyu was full of curiosity. She could feel the Three Yang Spiritual Fire in her dantian reacting to the ball of fire in her senior brother's hand.

"Junior sister, this is not the Three Yang Spiritual Flame, it is the Nine Yang Spiritual Flame."

Li Yinsheng explained.

“Oh, I know. Senior Yan Yu said that the Three Yang Spirit Fire is a simplified version of the Nine Yang Spirit Fire!” Mu Xiaoyu said.

A glint suddenly appeared in her eyes: "Senior brother, are you going to refine the Nine Yang Spiritual Flame?"

If Senior Brother were to refine the Nine Yang Spirit Fire, wouldn't it be Senior Brother's turn to be burned this time?

Mu Xiaoyu's heart immediately began to fill with anticipation.

Now my senior brother can also experience what it feels like for me to be burned by the fire!

However, the Nine Yang Spirit Fire sounds quite powerful, so please don't get hurt, Senior Brother.

Just a little burning sensation is fine.

Under the expectant yet worried gaze of his junior sister, Li Yinsheng smiled kindly.

"Junior sister, it's not me who's refining the Nine Yang Spiritual Flame, it's you who's going to refine it."

Mu Xiaoyu stood there for a long time, then without hesitation, she turned and ran.

A long, strong hand grabbed the back of her collar and lifted her up, her escape attempt failed.

……

In the largest secluded meditation room on Wuxia Peak.

Mu Xiaoyu sat cross-legged on the futon, surrounded by Li Yinsheng, Shangguan Ling'er, and Elder Qin.

She felt some of her long-buried, painful memories beginning to resurface.

If she remembered correctly, it was the same when she first refined the fire seed.

Her senior brother, Sister Shangguan, and Master Yanyu from the Casting Furnace Temple all protected her.

The difference is that this time, both Senior Brother and True Person Yan Yu have changed their positions from Grand True Person to Imperial Title True Person.

Only Sister Shangguan is still a Great Immortal.

This lineup and formation were truly frightening to her.

But she ultimately chose to refine the Nine Yang Spirit Fire.

Her senior brother told her that as long as she refined the Nine Yang Spirit Fire, she would not feel any pain when refining fire seeds in the future.

Sister Shangguan can't always be by my side, but it seems like my senior brother can always pull out a spark of fire at any time.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Mu Xiaoyu decided that it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one.

With Sister Shangguan and Elder Qin protecting us, we can refine the Nine Yang Spirit Fire and then never have to worry about refining fire seeds again!

"Thank you for your help, Aunt Qin," Li Yinsheng said.

After returning to Wuxia Peak, under Shangguan Ling'er's strong protest, Li Yinsheng changed his address for Elder Qin back from "Senior Sister Qin" to "Aunt Qin".

However, Elder Qin still called him Junior Brother Li, seemingly teasing Shangguan Ling'er again.

"No need to be polite, Junior Brother Li," Elder Qin said with a smile. "Being able to refine spiritual fire with a cultivation level below True Person, I reckon Xiaoyu is one of a kind in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Let alone those below the True Person level, even True Persons face a near-death experience when refining spiritual fire.

Even the most accomplished masters are not guaranteed success.

However, Mu Xiaoyu is indeed an exception; she has too many advantages.

"Come on, junior sister, eat this Ice Soul Pill."

Li Yinsheng took out a pill that emitted a chilling aura and resembled a small ice ball.

While his junior sister was refining the fire seed, he borrowed some other medicinal herbs from Five Clouds Peak and refined the elixir.

Mu Xiaoyu opened her mouth and swallowed the Ice Soul Pill.

"It's cool and seems a little sweet! Senior brother, this is quite delicious...tap tap tap..."

Halfway through her sentence, Mu Xiaoyu's teeth started chattering.

As soon as the Ice Soul Pill entered her stomach, it transformed into an extremely pure chill that spread out, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer of frost covered her entire body.

It looked as if it had been frozen in the snow for several hours and then buried by a blizzard.

"Senior brother... it's cold..."

Mu Xiaoyu said with difficulty.

Unlike the coldness of the soul when refining moon dew, this time it was truly a coldness of the physical body.

"Come on, junior sister, open your mouth."

Li Yinsheng took out the Nine Yang Spirit Fire, and compressed all the flames into a core, thumb-sized, crimson-orange fire bead.
