"Living Spirit Flame? Yin Yang Twin Flames? Why these two different fires?" Xiao Li asked, a little curious.
"Different fires are flames formed by the Universe. Most different fires have extremely violent energy. You, young man, should know how violent the energy of a different fire is, having absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame before." Bai Lie explained leisurely, his hands behind his back.
"Mm."
Bai Lie continued, "But there are no absolutes in anything. There are two very special different fires on the strange fire ranking list. The Living Spirit Flame does not possess the powerful destructive force of other different fires. It is famous for the majestic life force it possesses.
You also know that the Living Spirit Flame is known as the Longevity Flame, which can make its owner's Lifespan comparable to that of a Demonic Beast, and it also has the effect of promoting the growth of medicinal materials. Precisely because it possesses extremely strong vitality, it is suitable for delicate tasks, such as your teacher's current situation.
Using the Living Spirit Flame to refine the medicinal power in your teacher's body will not only prevent harm, but the Living Spirit Flame's vitality will also enhance your teacher's vitality. However, the Living Spirit Flame is extremely rare, so rare that you might not find it in several lifetimes.
Anyway, Old Man has lived for so many years, and he has never heard of anyone controlling the Living Spirit Flame."
Xiao Li knew about the Living Spirit Flame, but he had no thoughts of acquiring it. The Living Spirit Flame was in the hands of an old Loose Cultivator, Shennong, who was arguably the strongest Loose Cultivator of his generation. Not only was he a Six-Star Dou Saint, but also a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill Grandmaster.
This old man was elusive, and even if Xiao Li found him, he wouldn't be able to enlist his help. He might even be killed, as almost no one knew that Old Man Shennong possessed the Living Spirit Flame.
But what Xiao Li was curious about was that Bai Lie not only mentioned the Living Spirit Flame but also the Yin Yang Twin Flames! Xiao Li happened to know information about the Yin Yang Twin Flames!
Xiao Li eagerly said, "Elder Bai, what about the Yin Yang Twin Flames?"
"The Yin Yang Twin Flames, one fire, two births, originated from the Origin of the Universe's Void Realm. Its characteristics combine the dual powers of life and death: the white Yang fire contains vitality and can heal injuries; the black Yin fire is destructive, instantly reducing anything it touches to ashes.
This Yang fire contains vitality. If you subdue the Yin Yang Twin Flames and manipulate the Yang fire to help your teacher refine the medicinal power, it might work. However, the Yin Yang Twin Flames are incredibly rare.
Since the strange fire ranking list came into existence, the Yin Yang Twin Flames have appeared only a handful of times. Their rarity can even be compared to the top ten different fires on the strange fire ranking list. Perhaps the Yin Yang Twin Flames' low ranking is also related to their difficulty in obtaining. This is Old Man's guess; you can just take it as entertainment."
Bai Lie told Xiao Li the effects of the Yin Yang Twin Flames, which gave Xiao Li new ideas.
"Thank you, Elder Bai. This young man has a plan." Xiao Li bowed and cupped his hands to Bai Lie.
"Anyway, these are the only two methods. If you have no other way, you should still invite Old Ghost Mang Tianchi. Anyway, that old fellow won't ignore your request, and he's a rich scoundrel; you can fleece him to death.
But Old Man still has to remind you that Mang Tianchi's identity is very special. Try not to owe him any favors, otherwise, when you come into contact with certain individuals, you will know how difficult it is to repay a favor."
Bai Lie spread his hands. The Two Elders Qian Bai knew which clan Mang Tianchi came from and had met people from that clan. Each of them was arrogant, looked down on the people of the continent, and regarded them as commoners.
Bai Lie's idea was that he didn't want Xiao Li to be lured into that clan by some shameless individuals because of his relationship with Mang Tianchi. Bai Lie hoped that Xiao Li, as a Loose Cultivator, would become a top-tier expert and prove to their group of Loose Cultivators that even with ancestral blessings, it was nothing extraordinary!
"Elder Bai, can you Seal the medicinal power within Teacher's body? To prevent her condition from worsening, this young man has a plan." Xiao Li said with firm eyes.
"Yes, I can. Anyway, the academy has Old Ghost Mang Tianchi—ah, no, with the Dean here, Old Man can stay outside for a bit longer to relax.
Old Man can also watch over your teacher here, but you only have half a year, because Old Man's Cultivation can only Seal for half a year. If it exceeds half a year, your teacher will suffer a backlash and die."
Bai Lie told Xiao Li the pros and cons. He didn't know what method Xiao Li had, but he was very much looking forward to Xiao Li surprising him.
"Thank you, Elder Bai. Half a year? That's enough!" Xiao Li cupped his fists and bowed to Bai Lie, then walked over to Yun Yun.
Xiao Li took Yun Yun's hand: "Yun'er, take me."
"But..."
Xiao Li: "Just take me to see first."
"Alright."
Xiao Li and Yun Yun then left, flying towards the location of the Jia Ma Empire.
"Heh, youth is truly wonderful. The two of them standing together are quite a match." Bai Lie stroked his beard and smiled, then he applied a spatial Seal to Old Wang, sealing most of the medicinal power within Old Wang's body.
Xiao Ting sat on the mountaintop. He didn't know what his grandson intended, so he could only wait there.
"Your Excellency is?" Bai Lie noticed Xiao Ting.
"Elder Bai, I am Xiao Ting, Xiao Li's grandfather." Xiao Ting cupped his fists.
"Oh ~ so that's it. A Four-Star Dou Emperor Cultivation is not bad, just a bit old." Bai Lie could see through Xiao Ting's Cultivation at a glance, then stopped speaking and closed his eyes to Cultivate.
Xiao Ting also began to Cultivate. Before Cultivating, he first took a Qing Yuan Pill... "Li, wait, are you perhaps going to refine those Yin Yang Twin Flames? But you already have a different fire, absorbing two different fires at the same time, this..." Yun Yun's beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
"This is a suicidal act, right? But there's no other way. This is the only way to save Teacher. I need the Yin Yang Twin Flames, and even if there's danger, I must go!
Yun'er, if Old Yun has an accident, you wouldn't stand by and do nothing either!" Xiao Li's eyes were firm. He had to absorb the Yin Yang Twin Flames. If necessary, he would give up the Fallen Heart Flame.
Yun Yun didn't know what to say. If her Master, Yun Shan, had an accident, she certainly wouldn't stand by.
"Don't worry, the Fallen Heart Flame in my body is not complete; it's just a sub-flame. I have a certain degree of confidence in absorbing the Yin Yang Twin Flames. If it really doesn't work, I still have other methods."
Xiao Li gave Yun Yun a reassurance, because now only Yun Yun knew where the Yin Yang Twin Flames were. If Yun Yun was afraid he would be in danger and didn't tell him the location of the Yin Yang Twin Flames, that would be a problem.
Yun Yun huffed softly: 'He's almost twenty, yet still so impetuous. And here I am, worrying about him so much. If he loves to show off so much, then he can just go by himself!'
Xiao Li didn't know that Yun Yun was sulking. At this moment, he couldn't care about such things.
A few days later,
Cloud Mist Sect,
Xiao Li and Yun Yun returned to the Cloud Mist Sect. Led by Yun Yun, they flew directly to the back mountain, arriving at an ancient mountain range. Here stood an ancient stone gate, filled with the marks of time.
"This is my Cloud Mist Sect's Secret Realm, the Gate of Life and Death!" Yun Yun introduced.
"Where are the Yin Yang Twin Flames located?" Xiao Li inquired.
Seeing this, Yun Yun realized that Xiao Li was determined to refine the Yin Yang Twin Flames, and she sighed in her heart: "After you enter the Gate of Life and Death, you will encounter the previous Sect Masters of my Cloud Mist Sect. I will give you a token, and you can pass through there.
Go deeper, and you will find a giant stone sword. Behind the stone sword, the Yin Yang Twin Flames are there."
After Yun Yun finished giving directions, she opened the Gate of Life and Death. Once opened, the stone gate's interior revealed a swirling spatial portal, which was the entrance to the Secret Realm.
"Got it." Xiao Li nodded, then turned around and embraced Yun Yun: "Thank you, Yun'er, it's so good to have you. I'm sorry, I'm a very willful person, and I have things I must do!"
Xiao Li lightly kissed Yun Yun on the forehead, then entered the Gate of Life and Death.
Yun Yun stood stunned in place, then came back to her senses, her face instantly flushing red.
"Naughty Xiao Li!"
