Currently, even if nothing then Xiao Yan would at least be a 2nd star Dou Practitioner, so it was almost same as him, but once, he will refine the beast flame, he should be able to slam Xiao Yan with next to no effort.
A slight cold smile formed on Xiao Ning's face, 'Xiao Yan, you bastard, wait for me to grow, And the day I become powerful, I will Definitely make you remember the first time when you breast-fed on your mother.'
.....
After becoming a 3 star Dou Practitioner, he rested for next few days and stabilised his foundation and once he was done, he informed Xiao Yu to not search for him for next few days. As he will be in deep cultivation and he might not be able to come for few days.
Xiao Yu obviously asked tons of question, but Xiao Ning was also very thick skinned, so obviously he won't reveal any details about anything. He just brushed her questions off by asking more irritating question in return and successfully manage to shake her off.
He already cleared before-hand to Xiao Yu that he might not come for a while, because a rank 7 flame was not a joke. He doesn't know how long it might take, and if by some chance, he takes too long, then obviously his grandfather and his sister will obviously cause a lot of commotion and will start looking for his traces, thinking that, either he has been abducted or is just done for.
....
Early in the morning, behind the Xiao Clan estate on the mountain top, there was an isolated cave. In that isolated cave, Xiao Ning sat in the lotus position in the centre of the cave on a small rocky platform.
His expression was extremely calm, his eyes devoid of any emotion, looked intently at the ring on his finer, "Hmm... this storage ring... it is a storage ring of high grade! I was so busy with the training that I hardly remember that the inheritance was in the ring itself... hehe..." He chuckled for a while, but soon his expression again calmed and he again focused on calming his mind to go through the life and death trial.
Half an hour later, he again inhales a deep breath of air, "Let's go!!"
His hands moved at a rapid speed, and touched his forehead. In an instant a flame seal appeared on his forehead.
His consciousness blur and he found himself in the space of the seal. In there, as normal there were three light orbs hanging in the sky. Each one glowing with low intensity.
In the center there was the real treasure, true Yin-Yang twin flame. To its left side, there was the Yin-Yang beast flame. And to its right, there was the earth class low-level technique.
His gaze brushed over all three of it and finally it stopped on the orb to the extreme left. The Yin-Yang beast flame.
He gulped with some reverence. His eyes were filled with high hope, he knew that if he could refine this, he will straightaway surpass Xiao Yan.
And once he does it, that level gap will never be filled no matter what Xiao Yan does in future.
Making up his mind, he stimulated things further. With shaking hands, he touched the orb in the extreme left.
The moment his hands touched the flame orb. The orb shook violently. A majestic, hot flames erupted from the orb like volcano.
In an instant he came out of his consciousness. In the dark cave, a gorgeous blackish-white colour flame appeared out of Xiao Ning's forehead and started burning with full intensity.
All the grass, puddle, everything started to burn with Chi! Chi! sound.
Even rocks turned chard black in an instant. Xiao Ning's face paled, he cursed, "Damn it!! I underestimated this flame..."
His hands moved at a rapid speed, trying to grab the flame. The flame retorted violently, pushing his hands back for a while. But just as the flame was about to retorted even further and hurt Xiao Ning.
The flame seal on his forehead glowed with some intensity. The Yin-Yang Twin beast flame again shook violently and, in an instant it shrunk by a large margin.
Soon, it stabilized itself and just stayed looming in front of Xiao Ning like an obedient boy. Completely harmless. As if it had been subdued.
Xiao Ning's lips curled into a mocking smile, he touched his flame seals with even more respect, "That chilling sensation just now... it must have been the power of flame seal that stopped this flame from going into rampage."
Xiao Ning's hand tightened and his deep desire for power increased even further.
Seeing that the flame was in control, he didn't waste any more time. He caught the flame with his hands. The moment he caught the flame. The flame tried to resist a bit, but it was barely a resistance.
Then without any hesitation, he swallowed the flame, "Now, either success! Or death!"
A firm determination appeared on his face.
Gulp!!
Even though the flame was greatly restrained by the flame seal. But when Xiao Ning swallowed the flame. His eyes almost popped out.
A majestic, chaotic and hot aura suddenly rushed out throughout his Qi pathway like a bolt of lightning.
Even though the yin part of the flame is for healing and rejuvenation, but it is when you have refined it. Without that, it is nothing more than an another type of flame to turn you to chards.
Xiao Ning face turned red, his eyes which were already popped out, became red due to the burning sensation of the flame.
He gritted his teeth, "Damn it!! Just refine already!!" He screamed with an unyielding determination.
He circulated his Dou qi with full intensity trying his best to refine the flame along with the Dou Qi.
For a while, the flame didn't even buzz, just stayed there in a particular place, under the suppression of the seal, slowly-slowly burning the area.
But Xiao Ning as a transmigrator, how can he allow it to happen. Even he didn't buzz.
His circulated his entire Yin-Yang Dou qi and tried to make the flame comfortable with his Dou Qi.
Since he practised the 'Yin-Yang twin art', which was extremely close to the Yin-Yang twin flame. So, the Dou qi practised by this technique was also very much like the Yin-Yang twin flame.
Thus, the compatibility between the flame and the Dou Qi was very less repulsive to one another.
Both of the flame and Dou qi stayed in the stalemate for a while, but after a while. With time, the flame seemed to lose its ground.
And slowly-slowly it started to flow with the Dou Qi.
As the flame circulated throughout the Qi pathway along with the Dou Qi. The resistance of the flame got less and less.
Soon, the first circulating was over. But obviously this was not the end. Xiao Ning after completing his first circulation started the second one... and like this, after multiple circulation, the flame lost even the last bit of its resistance and finally submitted.
In doing this whole process, unknowingly 6 hours have passed.
During these 6 hours, not only the destruction caused by the flame was healed by the Yin power of the flame, but his strength also became more stable.
As the flame was finally subdued. Xiao Ning snapped open his eyes.
A satisfied smile was plastered on his face, "Hehe... finally, it's done. Now, it comes the final process, the merging of both the flame and the Qi method.
Well, I guess. That shouldn't be too difficult. Since I have already refined the flame, the chances of failure are minimum.
Well...as long as this Qi method is not a prank by some old bastard."
