    Seeing that Lin Yan was on the verge of tears, Xun Er decided to be considerate and softly said, "Xun Er should get back to cultivating; otherwise, the gap with Xiao Yan ge-ge will only widen."

    Xiao Yan affectionately stroked her silky hair and then cupped her delicate face in his hands. A warm sensation spread from his palms. Gazing at Xun Er''s rosy lips, he couldn''t help but swallow.

    Xun Er''s cheeks flushed crimson. She lowered her head slightly and murmured, "Xun Er will head back first."

    Before Xiao Yan could speak, Xun Er, giving him no chance to misbehave, swiftly dashed back to her courtyard.

    Xiao Yan gave a faint smile as he watched Xun Er run away shyly. Indeed, public displays weren''t appropriate, and besides, that fellow Ling Ying was watching.

    Meanwhile, Lin Yan stood to the side, staring blankly at Xiao Yan. Big brother, there''s still someone else here! Could you be a bit more mindful!!

    Glancing at this third wheel, Xiao Yan said, "Come with me."

    ...

    Inside Xiao Yan''s room.

    Xiao Yan began examining Lin Yan, who was seated before him, and asked, "How long has the fire poison been accumulating in your body?" He needed to understand the situation clearly before helping to expel the poison.

    Lin Yan''s expression turned somewhat grim as he replied, "Around a year and a half." The fire poison had already deeply affected his mind, making him extremely irritable.

    "Back then, I was desperate to improve my strength, so I went into closed-door cultivation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for one or two months at a stretch. The fire poison kept accumulating and, by the time I realized it, had become tightly intertwined with my Dou Qi and couldn''t be separated."

    Xiao Yan couldn''t help but look down on Lin Yan. Isn''t it just closed-door cultivation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for one or two months?

    Xiao Yan said calmly, "In a moment, bear with it. I''ll use flames to enter your body and burn away the fire poison."

    Lin Yan was stunned.

    I''m afflicted with fire poison, not ice poison! You''re adding more fire? Isn''t that like adding fuel to the fire?!

    Xiao Yan noticed Lin Yan''s skeptical look and replied flatly, "If you don''t trust me, you can still choose to take four hundred days'' worth of Fire Energy. I can give it to you right now." "Heh heh, how could I not trust you? I trust you, I trust you." Lin Yan had no other choice. Even if he had the Fire Energy, he wouldn''t be alive to use it. Right now, Xiao Yan was his only lifeline.

    Turning his back to Xiao Yan, Lin Yan nervously asked, "Brother Xiao Yan, what''s your success rate?"

    Placing his palm on Lin Yan''s back, Xiao Yan said with a confident smile, "Someone asked me the same question before, and my answer is still the same."

    Whoosh!

    A burst of energy shattered Lin Yan''s robe into powder, exposing a muscular body.

    "One hundred percent."

    Xiao Yan instantly activated the Flame Mantra. The Nihility Devouring Flame flowed through his meridians to his palm, and with his immensely powerful Spiritual Strength, he guided the black flame to drill into Lin Yan''s body.

    With a thud, Lin Yan''s body suddenly trembled. His already muscular physique swelled as if inflated, doubling in size! His entire skin turned bright red, resembling a cooked prawn. "Ahhh!!!" Even a madman like Lin Yan who disregarded his own life couldn''t help but let out an agonized howl at this moment. Clenching his teeth tightly, despite his crazed willpower, he couldn''t suppress his screams.

    Xiao Yan didn''t waste time after entering the cultivation room. He took out a Fire Crystal Card

    and tapped it.

    ''Thirty... truly an astronomical price, but worth every bit.''

    With a flash of green light, the Green Lotus flew out from his storage ring. The snake-bodied

    Medusa poked her head out from the lotus platform and looked around, "The energy here is

    much denser."

    "The price is quite steep too. You should first absorb the Heavenly Flame energy to condense your snake body. On the last day, I''ll use the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to help you refine the

    Heavenly Flame energy."

    "Mm."

    Not wasting any more time, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the stone platform and began frantically circulating the Flame Mantra to cultivate. Medusa coiled atop the Green Lotus and greedily absorbed the fire-attribute energy floating within the No. 1 cultivation room. One person and one snake became like two vortices, voraciously absorbing. Large clusters of Heart Flame appeared within Xiao Yan, being purified into strands of exceedingly pure Dou

    Qi.

    Cultivation knew no day or night. In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed. The terrifying environment of the No. 1 cultivation room allowed Xiao Yan to advance another star in just twenty days, reaching the 6-star Dou Spirit stage!

    By now, the Heavenly Flame energy within the No. 1 cultivation room had visibly thinned; fortunately, this was the No. 1 cultivation room, so the energy replenished quickly. Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, a ball of blood-red flames continuously refined under Xiao Yan''s Spiritual Strength. Through that special soul contract with Medusa, he transmitted the Heart Flame drawn from the stone platform to her, using the pure Heart Flame to accelerate the formation of her Heavenly Flame Snake Body.

    ''This time, Medusa should achieve Dou Ancestor-level combat strength.'' Although Medusa''s body had not yet grown to its complete form, the Heavenly Flame Snake

    Body Xiao Yan was refining for her had brought her strength close to the Dou Ancestor realm.

    Just as Xiao Yan was secretly delighted at soon having a Dou Ancestor-level ally, an unexpected change occurred!

    Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Suddenly, the entire cultivation room began to tremble. "What''s going on? Is the Fallen Heart Flame acting up? No, this is-!" Xiao Yan''s eyes sharpened as he looked at the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python within the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. He sensed that this tremor was caused by its energy outburst. "Energy rampage?! Hey, Medusa, are you alright?!" Xiao Yan''s heart tightened. He had never

    used a Heavenly Flame to help someone condense a physical body before, and he had no idea what might happen!

    Suddenly, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python within the Ten Thousand Beast

    Flame opened its eyes and stared fixedly at Xiao Yan. Its eyes glowed with a blood-red intensity, just like Lin Yan''s.

    ''You''ve got to be kidding me! How did someone at the Dou Emperor level get fire poisoned!!''

    Xiao Yan was greatly alarmed. He could handle Lin Yan, but how was he supposed to deal with

    a Dou Ancestor-level Medusa!!

    A seven-colored divine light abruptly erupted from the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python''s body. An immense force violently flung Xiao Yan away, and with a heavy thud, his entire body slammed against the wall.

    Shaking his head to clear his dizziness, Xiao Yan found his hands suddenly seized and pinned

    against the wall before he could react. In his bewildered state, he felt something soft press against his lips.

    Xiao Yan''s entire body jolted! His pupils widened dramatically. It was as if he had been struck by lightning. His body went rigid as he stared at the blushing beauty before him. He let out a muffled, (My first time is meant for Xun Er!) tragic wail...
