Chapter 48: Saint Xu, come and continue feeding the spiritual fire!

Xu Qingyao furrowed her brows, cautiously leaned closer, and asked in a sweet voice, "Devour Spiritual Fire? How do you devour it?"

Fu Huaian glanced at her.

"Try to condense a ball of Spiritual Qi flame."

Xu Qingyao nodded, mobilized her Spiritual Qi, and condensed a ball of green flame in her palm.

Fu Huaian extended the black flame in his palm, and the two made contact.

"Oh!"

Xu Qingyao's delicate body leaned back, and a surprised cry escaped her small mouth.

The Spiritual Qi flame in her hand suddenly became uncontrollable and merged into the black flame.

Everyone gathered closer, carefully observing this strange scene.

At the center of the black flame, the green Spiritual Fire slowly entered the swirling vortex, disappearing completely after a single breath!

Everyone was stunned.

Xu Qingyao endured the scorching heat, widening her eyes to examine it, as if the black flame hadn't changed at all!

She looked at Fu Huaian in confusion.

Fu Huaian's face, however, was exceptionally shocked!

He extinguished the flame in his hand, condensed another one, and looked at the three beauties before him, his expression odd.

"After the black flame absorbed Saintess Xu's Spiritual Fire, it gained a tiny trace of wood element…

And the flame isn't one-time use; after the black flame devours, that trace of wood element can exist permanently.

This is a Spiritual Fire that can grow!"

Xu Qingyao's shocked little face was blank; this was too Heaven-Defying!

As long as it was continuously nurtured over a long period, it was unimaginable what kind of monstrous thing this black flame would become!

Ji Nan Yuan and Pei Qinghuan were excited in their hearts; with a little thought, they understood that Huai'an had gained another Heaven-Defying ability!

After a long while, everyone suppressed their excited emotions.

Fu Huaian looked at Xu Qingyao!

"Saintess Xu, come, continue feeding it Spiritual Fire!"

Xu Qingyao's expression stiffened, and she said bitterly, "Condensing Spiritual Fire requires a lot of Spiritual Qi; I can only feed the black flame ten balls a day at most, I'll be exhausted!"

Fu Huaian sighed in disappointment; he thought for a moment and decided to let the young girl off the hook.

Judging from that trace of wood attribute just now, relying on Xu Qingyao to feed it would take an extremely long time for the black flame's wood element to become rich; this method was unreliable!

Or rather, Xu Qingyao's strength was too low; she was only at the Early Stage of Transcendent cultivation, and the intensity of this Spiritual Fire wasn't enough!

If it relied on devouring Spiritual Fire, it would probably need to find high-Rank Alchemists.

He wondered if Zhang Gu Zhu would be willing to feed it…

Xu Qingyao pondered for a moment and whispered, "Besides Spiritual Fire, there are also naturally formed special flames in the world. I believe devouring these special flames is the best way to cultivate your Spiritual Fire."

Fu Huaian looked at her curiously.

"Special flames?"

Xu Qingyao nodded.

"Mm-hmm, just like Valley Master Grandpa's blue flame, that's a rare Heaven and Earth Fire Seed…"

Ji Nan Yuan now looked at Fu Huaian and interjected, "There are also such special flames in the capital."

Fu Huaian was full of surprise, looking at Empress Baby.

"Your Majesty, shall we try feeding it?"

Ji Nan Yuan let out a charming hum.

"It depends on your performance."

Fu Huaian understood; she wanted him to be a good Fu Huanghou.

Everyone gathered together, observed this strange black Spiritual Fire for a long time, and after failing to discover any other special tricks, they dispersed.

Fu Huaian had been busy all day, and it was already night.

Xu Qingyao and Fu Huaian agreed to go to the Alchemy Chamber tomorrow, where Xu Qingyao would personally guide Fu Huaian into the basics of Alchemy!

The night was deep.

After everyone finished dinner, they returned to their respective rooms.

Fu Huaian, after bathing, sat cross-legged on the bed, lost in thought.

Which room should he go to later?

Fu Huaian was not willing to sleep alone!

The love poison was too terrifying; if he didn't suppress it for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over!

Fu Huaian recalled last night's experience, thought it over carefully, and felt he had to go for bed service…

He concealed his Qi, silently left his room, and headed straight for Ji Nan Yuan's room.

Arriving at the door, Fu Huaian pushed it; it wasn't locked!

Fu Huaian was stunned.

He entered the room, his expression unchanged as he scanned around.

The room was brightly lit by candlelight, and Ji Nan Yuan was lying sideways on the bed.

Her outer robe was removed, and she wore only a thin golden inner garment, her curvaceous figure extremely alluring.

Ji Nan Yuan propped her head with her left hand, her dark hair spread out. She looked at Fu Huaian as he entered, a subtle smile on her charming face, and her vibrant red lips were luscious!

Fu Huaian's lips curled slightly; he closed the door and slowly approached the bed.

"Nan Yuan…"

"Presumptuous! Call me Your Majesty!"

Fu Huaian chuckled inwardly; tonight's game was about riding the Dragon!

"Your Majesty, it's late…"

Ji Nan Yuan's face couldn't quite maintain its composure, turning slightly red. Her moist eyes looked at Fu Huaian, and she spoke softly.

"Next time, if you dare to come for bed service without being summoned, I'll castrate you and make you Eunuch Fu…"

A faint smile hung on Fu Huaian's handsome face. Seeing Ji Nan Yuan's attire and posture, he felt that if he hadn't come, he might indeed have been castrated…

"Your Majesty, rest now. I'll help you undress."

"Hmph…"

…

In the early morning, Fu Huaian was kicked out of the room by a mortified Ji Nan Yuan!

Ji Nan Yuan felt utterly exhausted and lay back down on the bed.

That scoundrel!

He actually discharged electricity inside!

Ji Nan Yuan's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she gritted her teeth in anger. Indeed, making him Eunuch Fu was more fitting!

Fu Huaian felt refreshed and was unconcerned by Ji Nan Yuan's mortification!

She liked to come over and prank him with her Nascent Soul! Fu Huaian was determined to get revenge!

The black electric arcs swirling in Fu Huaian's Dao Foundation; he hadn't expected Ji Nan Yuan to be the first to experience them…

These electric arcs were indeed a great weapon; even a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator would be…

He dared not recall, Fu Huaian truly dared not recall…

Today, he had to attend to serious business: learning Alchemy!

When Fu Huaian found Xu Qingyao, she was already prepared!

The two rode the wind to the Alchemy Chamber, which was where Medicine God Valley Disciples practiced Alchemy. There were ordinary Pill Furnaces available for free use, and it was convenient to obtain Spiritual Plants.

The Alchemy Chamber was located within a large hall built in the valley.

The hall was entirely black, five stories high, and was one of the few large buildings in Medicine God Valley!

Xu Qingyao led Fu Huaian into the first floor, cheerfully received a nameplate from the manager.

Following the nameplate's instructions, she led Fu Huaian to an unoccupied ordinary Alchemy Chamber.

The interior was entirely constructed of bluestone, with an unadorned Nine-Rank Pill Furnace in the center.

It was the lowest Rank furnace.

Xu Qingyao blinked her large eyes, pulled out a book from her arms, and handed it to Fu Huaian.

"Fu Jianguan, this is an introduction to basic Medicinal Pills. If you can successfully refine five types of Medicinal Pills from it, and your success rate is above fifty percent, you can be called a Nine-Rank Alchemist.

Now is not the time to refine these Medicinal Pills. You must first practice refining unranked Medicinal Pills to become familiar with the process and understand the basic techniques.

Only then can you begin refining the Medicinal Pills in the booklet!"

Fu Huaian nodded lightly, smiling as he looked at Xu Qingyao.

"Saintess Xu, what are unranked Medicinal Pills?"

"Medicinal Pills for Jianghu martial artists to supplement Qi, heal internal injuries, and repair sword and saber wounds.

I'll teach you to refine the Qi Circulation Pill first. After you refine it yourself, I'll see your performance and decide whether you should continue familiarizing yourself with the Alchemy process or start refining Nine-Rank Medicinal Pills."

Xu Qingyao took out the Spiritual Plants for the Qi Circulation Pill, only three or four types. She sat down on a meditation cushion, her small face looking at Fu Huaian.

"Fu Jianguan, I'll refine it once first; watch every detail carefully!"
