In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 63: Why Mushrooms Again? Xiao Ran in Seclusion

"shut up!"

Xiao Xun'er's eyebrows shot up.

Ling Ying trembled and quickly bowed her head, not daring to speak.

Xiao Xun'er took a deep breath.

His tone softened slightly as he spoke to Ling Ying.

"Elder Ling, I know you mean well for Xun'er."

"But I know that matters of the heart cannot be forced."

"Besides, I trust Brother Xiao Ran, and I will wait for him to come back and explain to me."

"However, this is a matter between me and Brother Xiao Ran, and I don't want to hear you say such things again."

"Brother Xiao Ran doesn't want this either, do you understand?"

"Yes, Miss! This old servant understands!" Ling Ying said solemnly, cupping her hands in greeting.

Xiao Xun'er nodded, then her expression softened slightly as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Elder Ling. It was Xun'er who was a little anxious earlier. I hope you won't take it to heart."

"How dare this old servant!" Ling Ying quickly replied.

Xiao Xun'er pondered for a moment, then looked at Ling Ying and said,

"Next, I hope you can return to Brother Xiao Ran's side as soon as possible and protect his safety."

"Although the place you mentioned in the Monster Mountain Range is very secluded, I'm still afraid that some unexpected things might happen."

"Yes, Miss! This old servant will go right away."

Ling Ying bowed deeply to Xiao Xun'er.

With a flick of his sleeve, his entire figure vanished instantly.

After watching Ling Ying's figure completely disappear,

Xiao Xun'er let out a long breath.

He frowned unhappily and puffed out his cheeks angrily.

"Phew! Brother Xiao Ran, you're so mean!"

"If you can't give Xun'er a perfect explanation when you come back, I'll never speak to you again, hmph!"

Having said that, suddenly,

Xiao Xun'er's gaze fell on the inner room.

She stormed into the bedroom, her eyes red with rage as she glared at the iron-eating monster puppet in the corner of the bed.

He leaped forward and slammed the puppet to the ground, waving his little fists fiercely.

"I'll beat you to death, you big bad guy!"

"Brother Xiao Ran, you're so mean! Waaah!"

"I'll beat you to death, you big liar."

"Waaah~"

……

Early the next morning,

Xiao Ran woke up in the fresh air of the valley.

He reached out and touched her, but the beautiful woman was nowhere to be found.

Just as they were wondering, they heard Little Fairy Doctor's voice coming from outside the door.

"Brother Xiao Ran, wake up!"

"I've already made a delicious stew of rabbit and mushrooms, it smells amazing!"

Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes, then painfully rubbed his forehead.

"Ugh! What did I do wrong? Why is it a mushroom again?"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and pouted.

"The energy here is very abundant, and the mushrooms that grow here are also beneficial to the human body. Brother Xiao Ran, don't miss out!"

"Sigh, alright!" Xiao Ran slowly got up, looking somewhat dejected.

After eating,

While Little Fairy Doctor was clearing away the dishes, Xiao Ran went out for a while.

Having chosen the location for my seclusion, and with everything prepared...

Xiao Ran returned to the cabin and spoke to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Xian'er, I will be going into seclusion from now on."

Seeing Xiao Ran's serious expression, Little Fairy Doctor asked with slight worry,

"Brother Xiao Ran, are you in danger?"

Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.

"How could that be? You know, I became a Battle Master at the age of fifteen."

"How long will it take you, Brother Xiao Ran?" Little Fairy Doctor asked, tilting her head.

Xiao Ran scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said,

"I can't say exactly how long it will take, maybe three to five days, maybe one or two months."

"However, you must remember that once I begin my seclusion, you must not approach me lightly, otherwise, you will be in danger. Understand?"

"I've got it, Brother Xiao Ran."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slowly, then smiled and said,

"Perfect timing, I'll also take this opportunity to study these scrolls that I've just collected."

"In that case, I'll be able to help Brother Xiao Ran then."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, then patted Little Fairy Doctor's hair.

"Well then, I'll leave the rest to you."

After some tender moments...

Xiao Ran went directly to a mountain peak in the valley of the wall, which was far from the cabin. There, he asked Ling Ying to open up a cave.

When refining the Taiyin True Fire, it is very likely that the aura will leak out.

As for the secluded cultivation room that had been built, it was too close by, so it was given to Little Fairy Doctor.

Once he refines the sub-fire of the Taiyin True Fire, he will have the strength to help Little Fairy Doctor awaken the Calamity Poison Body.

He is not helping Little Fairy Doctor awaken the Calamity Poison Body now, mainly because Xiao Ran vaguely remembers that in the original story, when Little Fairy Doctor swallowed poison to awaken her unique body, the unique body erupted.

Although he was very young, Xiao Yan was protected by Yao Lao's strange fire at that time, so he was fine.

Aside from his soul power, he's now just a six-star Dou Shi, and he simply can't withstand it.

It didn't say whether the soul is resistant to poison.

Therefore, Xiao Ran still decided,

Once he has completely refined the Taiyin True Fire Sub-Fire, he will then help Little Fairy Doctor awaken.

At that time, it might be possible to suppress the Calamity Poison Body that Little Fairy Doctor might unleash through the Taiyin True Fire.

Thus, one awakens without pain and begins to cultivate celestial-level techniques.

It doesn't matter if we don't end up using it.

Having a sword in your hand and not using it is completely different from having no sword in your hand.

After bidding farewell to Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Ran entered the cave.

Upon reaching the depths of the cave, a mechanism was activated, causing a massive boulder, several meters thick, to descend and block the cave entrance.

After finishing all that, Xiao Ran calmed down, cleared his mind, and adjusted his mental state to its best.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a ball of pure white flame appeared in his palm.

In an instant, the dark cave was illuminated.

Xiao Ran exhaled a soft breath and silently thought to himself.

"System, begin refining the Taiyin True Fire."

In an instant, the pure white Taiyin True Fire suddenly erupted in Xiao Ran's palm, enveloping Xiao Ran's figure.

As the sub-fire of the Taiyin True Fire gradually solidified,

The flames flickered, and Xiao Ran's figure was no longer visible...

Outside the valley, Little Fairy Doctor watched as Xiao Ran entered the cave.

Just as they were about to leave, a wave of intense heat, which was alarming, suddenly emanated from the cave.

In an instant, all the vegetation on the mountain where Xiao Ran was in seclusion turned to ashes, and the melting of the rocks could be vaguely seen.

Little Fairy Doctor was terrified and hurriedly turned around and ran for hundreds of meters until she was almost at the cabin, when she finally stopped feeling the heart-pounding heat.

"My goodness, what is Brother Xiao Ran doing?"

Little Fairy Doctor gazed at the melting mountain peaks, her jade-like hands gripping her belt with worry.

"With such terrifyingly high temperatures, will Brother Xiao Ran be alright?"

Just then, Xiao Ran's angry shout came from inside.

"Where the hell are you going to burn it? I don't even have enough to refine, don't waste it!"

As Xiao Ran finished speaking, the terrifyingly high temperature that could still be felt suddenly receded like a flood.

The valley became refreshing and pleasant again.
