Capítulo 180: Chapter 179: The Flame of Life
In the residence of the three leaders of the Pill Tower, the sky was filled with thunder and lightning. Strikes of three-colored pill lightning descended upon a blood-red pill exuding a fragrant scent.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman appeared in mid-air, and with a wave of her hand, a vast surge of Dou Qi formed a terrifying barrier that blocked all the descending pill lightning.
After a short while, the shield remained unmoved, and the thunderclouds in the sky reluctantly dissipated.
With the pill lightning gone, the pill successfully formed and hovered mid-air. Rich spiritual energy surged and transformed into a small, half-meter-long dragon that circled around Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi raised her hand to apply a seal, capturing the pill in a jade bottle. She looked at the crowd below with gentle eyes and quickly descended towards them.
"Yao Chen, the Bone-Melting Blood Pill has been completed. All the conditions for your resurrection are met. Let's begin!" Xuan Yi handed the pill to Yao Chen, her face filled with anticipation.
Yao Chen, moved by her words, looked at the pill in the jade bottle. However, he shook his head regretfully. "One step remains. When I exploded my soul to escape, it sustained severe damage. Over the years, it hasn't fully recovered. For resurrection, I still need to repair the damaged soul origin."
Xuan Yi's eyes showed disappointment. Soul-related herbs were extremely rare, and she did not have any materials for soul origin restoration.
"I'll go look in the Minor Pill Tower!"
Seeing Yao Chen's nearly translucent body, her eyes filled with pain as she gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Xuan Yi, after the previous battle with the Soul Hall, many elders from the Minor Pill Tower were injured. The tower's stock of herbs has been used up. I've already checked earlier; there were no soul origin materials." Xuan Kong Zi stepped forward, stopping Xuan Yi and shaking his head.
"So, what should we do?" Xuan Yi asked anxiously.
"I have already informed the people of the Pill Tower to search. Hopefully, good news will come soon," Xuan Kong Zi said solemnly.
"That's all we can hope for!" Everyone nodded, knowing they could only wait for news. Searching blindly would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Among the crowd, a figure showed signs of struggle. He knew a place where such materials could be found, and he had a good chance of obtaining them—Gu Xun Er's family. Coincidentally, the people from the Gu Clan were in Saint Pill City. However, the Gu Clan was very particular about his relationship with Gu Xun Er, and he did not want to yield to them before being acknowledged.
The atmosphere turned silent.
Half a year later.
In a secluded valley.
Little Fairy Doctor squatted on the ground, examining a strange, colorful flower. The flower was about three feet tall, with colorful petals forming a dreamy blossom.
After a long time, Little Fairy Doctor's face lit up with an ethereal smile, and she called out to Jiang Yun in the distance.
"Jiang Yun, come quickly. I've revived the colorful Ziling!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yun smiled and walked leisurely towards her, carrying a hoe on his shoulder.
"Jiang Yun, look." Under the watchful gaze of Little Fairy Doctor, Jiang Yun squatted beside her, examining the colorful flower swaying in the medicinal field.
"Indeed, you revived it. Little Fairy Doctor, you have a gift for cultivating spirit herbs!" Jiang Yun praised her after examining the plant.
"Hehe!" Little Fairy Doctor giggled, her face flushing as she explained, "It's all thanks to your guidance."
"Heh—little girl, have you forgotten about the old man? Haven't I been of any help?" A sarcastic voice sounded behind them, and an old man appeared, watching Little Fairy Doctor with a smile.
"Senior Shennong has also been a great help, but without Jiang Yun, there wouldn't be today's Little Fairy Doctor, nor would there have been an opportunity for your teachings!" Little Fairy Doctor said playfully, holding onto Jiang Yun's arm.
"You..." Shennong Elder chuckled and lightly pointed at her. Then, looking at Jiang Yun with a hint of envy, he said, "Sometimes, I really envy you, kid. Not only are you exceptionally talented, but even the women around you are outstanding. Sometimes I wonder if you are the heavens' favorite."
"I just have a bit of luck!" Jiang Yun replied, somewhat smugly.
"I'm fortunate to have met Jiang Yun too!" Little Fairy Doctor said affectionately, looking at Jiang Yun.
Shennong Elder felt somewhat sidelined and muttered to himself about the insensitivity of young people towards the elderly's feelings.
"Let me take a look at this colorful Ziling," Shennong Elder said, moving past them to examine the revived herb closely.
Jiang Yun and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged smiles.
Then, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes showed a hint of contemplation, as she surveyed the area. In the next moment, she locked onto a spirit herb and smiled.
"Jiang Yun, I remember that the Bodhi Pill requires an ingredient, the Xuanling Fruit. There's a Xuanling Tree over there. It matured a few days ago and meets the requirements for the Bodhi Pill. I'll fetch it for you!" Releasing Jiang Yun's arm, she walked towards the neighboring medicinal field.
Watching this, Jiang Yun didn't think much of it. He had indeed mentioned wanting to refine the Bodhi Pill. Although he hadn't found the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it didn't hurt to prepare the ingredients first.
Under Jiang Yun's watchful eyes, Little Fairy Doctor approached a lush, one-foot-tall tree laden with emerald fruits. One fruit was especially plump, exuding a delicate fragrance—the matured Xuanling Fruit.
Smiling, Little Fairy Doctor extended her slender hand and gently plucked the fruit. However, as soon as the fruit detached, pale green flames appeared on her hand.
"Ah!"
Startled by the sudden flames, she instinctively channeled her Dou Qi to protect her hand and shook off the flames.
"Little Fairy Doctor!"
Jiang Yun and Shennong Elder were instantly alerted by the unexpected turn of events.
Shennong Elder had been examining the colorful Ziling but froze upon seeing the blazing green fruit in Little Fairy Doctor's hand, the trowel in his hand dropping unconsciously.
Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with surprise. Moving swiftly, he appeared beside her, examining her hand. Thankfully, her hand was only slightly red.
"Jiang Yun, I'm fine!" Seeing Jiang Yun's concern, Little Fairy Doctor smiled reassuringly and cast her gaze onto the undisturbed Xuanling Tree. "What's happening? I didn't sense any magical beast."
"Little Fairy Doctor, you've stumbled upon a treasure!" Jiang Yun smiled at the Xuanling Tree and said, "Collect the whole tree. It'll reveal itself."
Though puzzled, Little Fairy Doctor followed his instructions, stepping forward to retrieve the tree. The green flames flared again, turning into liquid fire, which floated to her hand.
The green flames expanded rapidly, and a sea of liquid green fire spread out, filling the area with mist, making countless strange herbs grow rapidly and exuding a life force.
"The Flame of Life, it truly is..." Shennong Elder stared at the green flames in Little Fairy Doctor's hand, eyes full of yearning and struggle, his aura fluctuating.
Ranked fifth on the Heavenly Flames List, the Flame of Life was unique. Unlike most destructive flames, it was known for its life force. It made surrounding plants rapidly sprout and grow, and even ordinary plants could turn into rare herbs, making its location a medicinal treasure trove.
With this flame, one wouldn't need to worry about finding medicinal herbs, as long as there were enough seeds. The Flame of Life also granted extraordinarily long life, rivaling even magical beasts known for longevity. However, it wasn't well-suited for combat compared to other top-tier flames.
"This is the Flame of Life, and finding it is all about fate. If it has formed intelligence, it assumes various herb forms and roots quietly in the soil. Ordinary people wouldn't recognize it, only those with immense luck could find it. It seems you are the destined one!" Jiang Yun's tone carried excitement.
Turning to Shennong Elder, Jiang Yun asked, "Senior, do you agree?"
As he spoke, Jiang Yun stood protectively before Little Fairy Doctor, a purplish-gold dragon scale appearing in his palm, ready to be crushed. In the background, Zhufeng stealthily guarded the valley, ready to intervene if needed.
Little Fairy Doctor noticed the tension, watching Shennong Elder warily. Half a year's interaction now seemed trivial compared to this moment.
Shennong Elder, snapped out of his daze by Jiang Yun's soul-infused voice, looked deeply at the two. After a long pause, he sighed, exhausted, "No need to be so guarded. I won't rob someone's fortune."
"Don't blame me, Senior. In the face of such fortune, Jiang Yun's caution is justifiable." Jiang Yun nodded, retracting the dragon scale.
Far away, Zhufeng's presence receded. Shennong Elder, sensing his departure, joked, "Had I tried, I wouldn't have left this valley alive, would I?"
Jiang Yun's mysterious smile was his only response.
Shennong Elder pondered deeply about Jiang Yun's background, considering the high level of protection. Someone with one-star Dou Saint level strength recognized the importance of Jiang Yun, indicating his significant backing.
In contemplation, his gaze returned to the vibrant green flames. Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's hand unharmed, he sighed, "Not yet refined, yet already so compatible. You truly are destined for the Flame of Life."
"After so many years in this valley, I never found it. But you got it within half a year. Such is fate."
"Little Fairy Doctor's wood-fire attribute and special plant affinity perfectly match the Flame of Life, higher than the tier-eight beast fire I found for her through Pill Tower connections."
"It's our fortune, Senior!" Jiang Yun respectfully acknowledged.
"Indeed, I'm old now!" Shennong Elder sighed, advising, "With your current level, refining the Flame is impossible. Seal it and gradually refine it. You'll need help from your guardians for this."
He departed silently, leaving the two alone.
As he vanished, Little Fairy Doctor asked, "Will he be okay?"
"He'll be fine. He just needs some time to recover." Jiang Yun reassured, focusing on the Flame of Life in her hand.
Little Fairy Doctor nodded in agreement. Without further ado, Jiang Yun led her swiftly toward the distant mountains. (End of Chapter)
