"Thank you for looking out for me, Senior!"
Having completed her secluded cultivation, Su Muxue's beautiful eyes flickered as she smiled charmingly and bowed respectfully to Hao Ren.
"During this period of closed-door cultivation, I have benefited immensely! My foundation has approached a perfect state, and within my dantian, my Golden Core has already generated its tenth dragon pattern..."
Ten dragon patterns?
Hao Ren's eye corners twitched slightly.
He was utterly shocked!
Normally, a cultivator's Golden Core could reach a maximum of nine dragon patterns.
Now, Su Muxue had generated a tenth dragon pattern. This was defying the heavens! m..oΓg
Su Muxue was very happy. She chuckled and said,
"I truly thank you for your care, Senior. I must take my leave now. I plan to return home to prepare for my tribulation and ascend to the Nascent Soul realm!"
Hao Ren nodded upon hearing this.
Given Su Muxue's monstrous talent, successfully overcoming the tribulation would not be difficult.
The next time they met, Su Muxue would likely already be a "Nascent Soul cultivator."
"Are you planning to return to the Medicine King Mansion?"
Hao Ren asked casually.
A glint flashed in Su Muxue's beautiful eyes. She smiled slightly and said,
"The Medicine King Mansion is not my home. I'm returning to my true home... the Lesser Grotto-Heaven!"
Lesser Grotto-Heaven?
Hao Ren indicated he had never heard of it.
Judging by the name, it sounded like an obscure corner!
Su Muxue looked earnestly at Hao Ren's reaction. When she saw his "indifference," her shock deepened by another three parts.
What was the Senior's true identity? He was too unfathomable!
He had heard of the "Lesser Grotto-Heaven," a secret realm where ancient families gathered, yet he remained unfazed!
What did this imply? In the Senior's eyes, the so-called ancient families were insignificant, not worth his attention.
Indeed, to a dragon, ants were always ants. Ancient families were merely slightly larger ants, still ants!
Su Muxue suddenly smiled enchantingly.
Her radiance captivated the world.
"Senior, to thank you, I have a special gift for you..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Muxue transformed into a gust of fragrant breeze and rushed forward.
Hao Ren was still lost in Su Muxue's breathtaking smile and had no time to react. The "Goddess Su's" soft cherry lips met his.
A kiss!
A kiss for the ages!
Hao Ren
(☆＿☆)
His pupils dilated, and his eyes shone with excitement!
What the hell? I've been forcefully kissed by Goddess Su!
Uh... in this situation, should I offer some token resistance?
Never mind, never mind.
I'm just a "Foundation Establishment minor cultivator."
She is a "Golden Core Goddess."
It's not that I don't want to resist, but I truly can't!
An ice and fire duality!
This feeling was so wondrous!
Hao Ren couldn't help but shiver comfortably.
Wuwuwu, this feels amazing!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Su Muxue" has given you a special gift. You have received the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire."]
Suddenly, a system notification chimed in Hao Ren's mind.
This...
Hao Ren's brow furrowed, and his divine sense moved, entering the "inner vision" state.
At this moment, he could clearly see that from the spot where Su Muxue was kissing him, streams of divine and powerful flame energy were being transmitted.
The flame energy was ice blue.
The flame energy slowly condensed, transforming into an elegant and noble "Ice Phoenix," which let out a long cry.
The "Ice Phoenix" flowed down Hao Ren's meridians, scattering countless tiny blue lights along the way, continuously strengthening Hao Ren's physique.
Finally, the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire" entered Hao Ren's dantian, found a quiet resting place in the void of his dantian, and transformed back into a ball of ice-blue flame, slowly floating.
Unassuming, elegant, and noble!
The power of the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire" exuded a unique charm.
Hao Ren opened the detailed attribute panel for the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire."
[Spiritual Fire Name: Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire]
[Detailed Description: A powerful ice-elemental spiritual fire ranked in the top twenty of the "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire Ranking." It was brought out from the "Fire Domain" by Su Muxue. Due to incompatibility of gender attributes, Su Muxue could not refine it. Su Muxue gifted it to the host through a "special method."]
Special method?
That meant "kissing"!
This "special method" was truly insane. If Hao Ren had a chance to choose again: he wished for ten thousand more times!
"Farewell, Senior!"
After completing her "gift," Su Muxue's exquisite face seemed to carry a trace of shy redness. She bid farewell and left as swiftly as a winged creature.
Watching the beautiful figure disappear at the cave entrance.
Hao Ren couldn't help but smack his lips.
So sweet!
At this moment, Hao Ren's peripheral vision caught sight of Little Dragon Girl standing before another cave entrance.
Her gaze was incredibly complex.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, a boundless expanse!
Clearly, Little Dragon Girl's emotions were in turmoil at this moment!
Hao Ren shrunk his neck, and for some reason, felt a sense of unease in his heart.
It felt like a cat caught stealing fish.
Cough, cough...
Hao Ren cleared his throat, forcing himself to mask his embarrassment.
"Hmm, what's up with this Su Muxue? A gift is a gift, but she had to forcefully kiss me. Luckily, I refused; I'm not a casual man... Sigh! There are always people coveting my beauty; it's so troublesome!"
Saying this, Hao Ren reached out and summoned the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire."
A small ball of ice-blue flame appeared in Hao Ren's palm.
It emitted terrifying ultra-low temperatures, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze. Ice shards appeared out of nowhere, and light warped!
So powerful!
Hao Ren praised inwardly.
This "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire" could exert 200% of its power in his hands!
His "Lord of Ice and Fire" supreme destiny, combined with the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire," complemented each other perfectly.
Furthermore, Hao Ren sensed that the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire" was an excellent "pill fire." Using it for alchemy would yield even better results than using "Yang Fire."
The ultra-low temperature could freeze all impurities, purifying the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs to a near-perfect state.
This way, the success rate of alchemy would increase by at least thirty percent!
This "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire" was truly a good item!
Hao Ren decided that when he had free time, he would refine some pills.
Previously, he was the "Furnace Explosion Venerable." For ten batches of pills, he would have eleven furnace explosions, with one being a chain double explosion!
Now, with his "Innate Pill Seed" supreme destiny and the top-grade flame, the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire," his alchemy success rate had soared, and he would never explode a furnace again!
