Xiao Cai tilted his head and lay on Yang Tian's palm, then opened his mouth and let out a fiery burp.
His snake tongue licked the corner of his lips, and Xiao Cai leaned forward to lick Yang Tian's face again, before swaying like he was drunk and burrowing into Yang Tian's embrace.
Well, he just woke up, and now he's going to sleep again?
Ever since Xiao Cai absorbed the power of the magma in the Fiery Domain Mountain, he had been sleeping until now.
And today, upon just waking up, he directly snatched Huo Wu's fire gel, which truly made Yang Tian laugh and cry.
Yang Tian didn't care; it was a little thing he had stolen, so he had to raise it even if it meant selling everything he owned, right? But Huo Wu was not happy; she was about to absorb it, and in just a moment of distraction, it was gone?
Looking pitifully at Yang Tian, he curled his lips and said, "I gave it to you, but you didn't seize the time to refine it, did you? Now it's gone."
Despite saying that, Yang Tian still took out the sky yang blaze flower again, dug out the last two fire gels, and then tore off a small piece of a leaf from the World Tree.
Estimating that Huo Wu could withstand this level of energy, Yang Tian mixed the fire gel and the remnant World Tree leaf together, and the Strange Fire surged, initially refining the medicinal power and energy within them.
His palm opened again, and a pill with a mix of fiery red and emerald green appeared in Yang Tian's palm: "Be mentally prepared for side effects."
"Hmph, always taking advantage of me." Huo Wu didn't know what the remnant leaf Yang Tian later took out was, but she figured the effect of this pill wouldn't be worse than the pure fire gel from before. As for side effects, although this scoundrel was a playboy, he wasn't a complete scumbag.
Puffing out her cheeks at Yang Tian, Huo Wu directly popped the pill into her mouth, thinking to herself, "Even if there are side effects, I'll just accept it."
With that thought, Huo Wu began to concentrate on refining the power of the pill.
Yang Tian, meanwhile, sat quietly by the bed, his divine soul constantly monitoring Huo Wu's changes.
In the cultivation area, Xu Xiaoxiao occasionally cast her gaze towards Huo Wu's room, and seeing that Yang Tian had not come out for a long time, she snorted, "Only lasted a dozen days, huh? Swordsman Brother's charm is still greater."
"Alright, alright, your Swordsman Brother is the best, now focus on your cultivation." Lin Zhiling turned Xu Xiaoxiao's head. She didn't know what would happen in the room, but there shouldn't be any bloodshed today... As for a death, that was even more impossible.
The next morning, Yang Tian stretched and walked out of Huo Wu's room, followed by Huo Wu, whose pretty face was flushed with embarrassment. There were indeed no side effects, but a certain someone still found every possible way to take advantage.
At least, it could be seen from Huo Wu emerging in proper attire that her pajamas had been changed.
As for how profound Huo Wu's transformation was this time, Yang Tian could guess a thing or two from her attitude towards him today.
As for the specific changes, Huo Wu herself would have to say.
In the lounge area, Xu Youyou was somehow hugged by Yang Tian: "Tell me, what changes have there been? I can then formulate your future development plan."
Seeing this, Huo Wu glanced at Yang Tian, then said, "It seems like a fusion has occurred."
"Fusion? How so?"
"It's just that my Spirit seems to have merged with me. All the abilities of my original shadow Spirit have been applied to me, and they've also been enhanced. Greatly enhanced." Huo Wu said, organizing her words.
Yang Tian's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he then extended a hand to Huo Wu, saying, "Give me your hand."
Huo Wu was startled, her red lips moving as she asked, "W-what for?"
"Give me your hand. I want to see what's really going on with your Spirit. You can't explain it clearly like this," Yang Tian said.
Huo Wu, half-believing, placed her hand in Yang Tian's palm. Yang Tian didn't take advantage of her here; he directly clasped her wrist, and at the same time, his spirit power flowed from his body into Huo Wu's through her meridians.
A moment later, Huo Wu saw Yang Tian release her hand and asked, "Any discoveries?"
Yang Tian frowned, not answering Huo Wu's question. Then he held Xu Youyou's small hand in his embrace and sent his spirit power into her body, and only then did he realize.
Noticing Yang Tian's expression, Lin Zhiling was a little worried, thinking there was a problem with Huo Wu's Spirit, and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is it..."
"It's a good thing!" Yang Tian smiled at everyone, then pondered for a moment and said, "The Spirit is actually an extension of a Spirit Master's bloodline, a materialized manifestation.
Huo Wu's Spirit merging with her body at this time should not only strengthen her main body, but at the very least, it will also evolve into an innate talent ability. An ability related to shadows."
Yang Tian said with certainty.
Huo Wu pondered this, her beautiful eyes slightly closed. Immediately, a fiery red figure appeared behind her. The fiery red figure became increasingly clear until it materialized, looking exactly like Huo Wu.
Huo Wu opened her eyes and looked at her shadow, her beautiful eyes gleaming with shock.
"This shadow possesses fifty percent of my strength, and it will grow stronger as I utilize it, even reaching one hundred percent of my strength at its peak.
The most crucial thing is that the shadow is an energy body, yet it feels substantial. Although it cannot stray too far from me, it is absolutely flawless for setting traps and the like."
Huo Wu's mind was inherently intelligent; otherwise, she wouldn't have conceived of such multi-person combination skills in the original work, nor would she have mastered spirit ring fusion skills. She immediately thought of the shadow's various uses.
Yang Tian nodded silently. Huo Wu's Spirit merging with her main body not only evolved into a talent for shadow clones, but also transformed into a spiritual root that blended the two attributes of fire and darkness.
Dual spiritual roots, though a bit more troublesome to cultivate, made her a top-tier combatant among those of the same level.
As for why Huo Wu's transformation wasn't the imagined Spirit evolution, but rather her Spirit transforming into a spiritual root and bloodline, this had to consider the role of the World Tree.
Yang Tian had just checked Xu Youyou's internal condition and found that star power and the righteous aura of an emperor had also merged into her bloodline, immediately attributing it to the World Tree leaves.
It was just that the Spirits of the Xu Youyou sisters still manifested externally, and the changes in their bloodline were gradual, not as obvious as Huo Wu's.
Having identified the source of this change, Yang Tian's gaze fell on Shui Bing'er and Lin Zhiling. They cultivated the most powerful offensive techniques, and if they activated the corresponding bloodline power, their cultivation would undoubtedly be twice as effective with half the effort.
In fact, Shui Bing'er definitely possessed the bloodline power of the Ice Phoenix, but it would not be that obvious, at least not as obviously manifested as in the Xu Youyou sisters.
Having made up his mind, Yang Tian directly plucked a leaf from the World Tree, divided it into two, and refined it into pills with the help of several other pills for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the origin. He then handed them separately to Shui Bing'er and Lin Zhiling.
"Refine them. I think you will have some unique gains. We won't travel today; we'll set off tomorrow morning. Huo Wu, get used to your new abilities and powers." Yang Tian made the arrangements.
Xu Youyou looked up from Yang Tian's arms: "What about Xiao Xiao and me?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tian gently kissed Xu Youyou's red lips.
...Alright, I understand...
