- The Beautiful Master’s Method of Passing on the Flame
Chen Xi gazed at Yan Zhen with a gentle look:
“The three techniques each have their strengths and weaknesses. Naturally, your master hopes that you can inherit your master’s technique. The Grand Void Sword Saint was said to have the strongest offensive power at the same cultivation level. If you want to learn the sword, you can choose his sword art. However, Zhen’er, your bloodline and physique lean towards fire, so perhaps the ‘Imperial Blaze Art’ is the most suitable for you—think it over carefully. No matter which one you choose, your master will teach you wholeheartedly.”
“No need to think, Master. I choose the ‘Imperial Blaze Art’!” Yan Zhen’s eyes were resolute. “The best technique is right in front of me. Of course I have to seize the opportunity. If I don’t dare to try because the cultivation difficulty is too high, I might as well give up cultivation and be an ordinary person!”
Hearing this, Chen Xi smiled with satisfaction.
These words were exactly the same as what he said in his previous life. Indeed, Zhen’er was still her Zhen’er. He wouldn’t lose his brave heart just because she was a bit more gentle with him.
“Since you’ve decided, your master will pass on the ‘Imperial Blaze Art’ to you.”
“Thank you, Master!”
“Mm, the essence scriptures of the ‘Imperial Blaze Art’ contain an immense imperial pressure that you can’t bear in your current state. Your master will have to share the memory with you. Zhen’er, open your mind.”
“I understand, Master.”
Yan Zhen closed his eyes. Soon, the elegant fragrance from his beautiful master’s body slowly wafted closer, and her forehead lightly touched his.
—Hm? Is it necessary to share memories like this? Can’t it be transmitted remotely?
Yan Zhen grew doubtful.
—Forget it. How to pass it on is his beautiful master’s business. It’s useless for him to overthink.
“Starting now, Zhen’er.”
Speaking at such a close distance, his beautiful master’s slightly warm breath fell on Yan Zhen’s face, seemingly carrying a faint sweetness.
Ripples emerged on the calm lake of Yan Zhen’s heart, but he quickly suppressed them.
A faint glow lit up where the master and disciple’s foreheads touched, growing brighter and brighter. From a distance, it looked as if the two were holding a dazzling star between them.
As the glow brightened, Chen Xi’s technique memory flowed like a warm current, slowly entering Yan Zhen’s mind.
A full half an hour later, Chen Xi finally finished passing the complete “Imperial Blaze Art” to Yan Zhen.
After the transmission, Chen Xi separated from Yan Zhen and discovered that the attributes of his mystic power had already begun to change.
The reborn Chen Xi naturally knew how highly compatible the “Imperial Blaze Art” was with Yan Zhen. It was simply tailor-made for him.
Another half an hour passed. Yan Zhen successfully condensed the technique’s fire seed in his dantian, and under the tempering of the fire seed, all of his mystic power transformed into fire mystic power, taking on a domineering and cool white-gold color.
He slowly concluded his cultivation and exited the cultivation state, reopening his eyes.
He had just advanced to One-Star Mystic One yesterday. After cultivating the “Imperial Blaze Art”, his mystic power had become incomparably stable and even richer.
Compared to yesterday, his cultivation level didn’t change much, but his combat power had likely more than doubled.
The system’s prompt of 100% plot completion sounded in his ears. Yan Zhen casually claimed the reward and found that it was another useless special trump card. He threw it into the system inventory without even looking at it.
“Master, I succeeded!”
“Not bad. Your qi is continuous. Perhaps you can quickly attempt to break through to Two-Star Mystic One, provided that you have already refined a strand of heaven and earth extreme flame and upgraded the technique’s fire seed to the Mystic One level. Otherwise, your cultivation will be forever stuck at One-Star Mystic One.”
Yan Zhen flattered with a grin, “Master letting me learn the ‘Imperial Blaze Art’ means you must have prepared a heaven and earth extreme flame for me in advance, right?”
“You’re quite clever.” Chen Xi’s cold expression quickly melted away. She looked at Yan Zhen with meaningful eyes. “Apart from the Starlight Glaze Fire, your master indeed has another strand of heaven and earth extreme flame that can be passed on to you.”
“Hehe, Master treats me the best.” Yan Zhen buttered up and curiously asked, “What kind of extreme flame is it?”
Chen Xi flipped her jade-like hand, and a strand of fierce gold and silver flame suddenly ignited in her palm. An intense high temperature immediately descended, making Yan Zhen feel as if he was in a furnace.
“This fire is the first strand of extreme flame your master refined. It’s called ‘Gold and Silver Fire’. Although it’s not on the list of extreme flames, and its power is relatively weak, its functionality is powerful. Not only does it have high plasticity, able to transform into a sword or armor, but it also has a certain corrosive effect on metal and jade-type mystic tools. When facing sword cultivators or blade cultivators, it can easily gain the upper hand.”
Wow, Yan Zhen’s eyes reflected the gold and silver flames, his face full of desire.
Although he already knew the plot, who wouldn’t covet the cool treasures in the novel when reading it?
What Yan Zhen coveted the most in this harem novel without a female lead was the heaven and earth extreme flames. Each one was stronger and cooler than the last!
“The Gold and Silver Fire is so cool. Thank you for the gift, Master. I will definitely treat it well.”
Yan Zhen was about to reach out his hand when his beautiful master slapped it away.
“Take your paws away. Do you not want to live anymore? Although the Gold and Silver Fire isn’t as powerful as other famous extreme flames on the list, it’s still not something you can touch right now.”
“Ah, this… If I can’t even touch it, how do I refine it?”
Yan Zhen asked knowingly, perfectly acting out a confused and silly expression.
“With your current cultivation, it’s absolutely impossible for you to refine the Gold and Silver Fire. The moment the flames enter your body, you would turn to ashes. Your master has to use an alternative method to pass this fire to you.”
“What method?”
Seeing Yan Zhen’s eager look, the corners of Chen Xi’s mouth slightly curved into a beautiful arc, and her heart also sped up a little.
But she couldn’t smile now, lest she reveal her intentions.
She tightened her face again and said indifferently, “This ‘Fire Tempering Star Space’ has an extremely strong suppressive power over heaven and earth extreme flames. As your master is the spirit of this place, as long as I activate the array formation plaza under my feet, I can greatly reduce the wildness of the extreme flames. Even so, refining extreme flames still has great risks. If you’re the slightest bit careless, you’ll explode and die. Moreover, when the flames enter your body, it’s extremely, extremely painful. Ordinary people would find it hard to endure.”
Hearing this, Yan Zhen felt a bit frightened in his heart.
The process of refining extreme flames was described in great detail in the script, with a whole chapter of 2,000 words describing how painful it was for him. Afterwards, he even fainted for a day and a night due to the excruciating pain. Just thinking about it was scary.
It was probably to showcase the protagonist’s extraordinary willpower, after all, this was a leveling up and monster-slaying harem novel without a female lead.
However, Yan Zhen now possessed the system’s “skip” function. As long as he endured the pain for a short while at the beginning, then directly skipped, it would be fine. He wasn’t worried at all.
“I’m not afraid, Master. I can endure it!”
“But your master is afraid. Your master is afraid of accidentally losing you, you silly disciple.”
“Uh, there’s no other way. We have to give it a try.”
“There’s an even safer method.”
“An even safer method? Is there one?”
There wasn’t, right? This wave relied on him exerting the power of the protagonist’s plot armor and gritting his teeth to get through it.
“There is.”
“What method?”
Yan Zhen was at a loss, his little brows slightly furrowing in thought.
Chen Xi paused for a long time, then let out a soft sigh, as if she had made up her mind. She resolutely said:
“It’s for you and your master to engage in dual cultivation, and your master will refine the Gold and Silver Fire for you.”
Yan Zhen froze for a moment, then his eyes slowly widened, as shocked as if he had seen a ghost.
—Dual cultivation… When did this plot appear???
