"Little doll, you just now..."
After Medusa dragged Protector Liu's corpse and landed from the sky, Yao Lao also floated out from the storage ring.
For safety reasons, after Protector Liu appeared, Yao Lao's storage ring was carried by Medusa.
Therefore, just now, he naturally did not have the Opportunity to communicate with Xiao Xue.
Now, Yao Lao looked at the fallen Protector Liu, then looked at Xiao Xue, wanting to speak but stopping, wanting to speak again but stopping.
Bone Chilling Flame? Mortal Realm Great Perfection Soul Power? Nine-Star Dou Zong?
If he didn't know that Souls couldn't be split, Yao Lao would have almost felt that Xiao Xue had a version of himself with Nine-Star Dou Zong strength inside her.
"Old Mister Yao, I know you are very anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
Xiao Xue directly interrupted Yao Lao, then recounted the wording she had prepared beforehand.
— She had luckily obtained the Bone Chilling Flame, luckily refined it, and could use the Heavenly Flame to briefly boost her strength.
This explanation was actually full of holes.
However, after Yao Lao used his Soul Power to carefully sense Xiao Xue's state, he found that she had indeed refined a cluster of Bone Chilling Flame.
Moreover, she had done it without using spirit storage, directly fusing it into her own body.
Furthermore, Yao Lao had also seen Xiao Xue refining Medicinal Pills; it was completely her own doing, with no suspicion of a Soul Body helping her.
Ah Li's current Soul Power was stronger than Yao Lao's, so by deliberately hiding it, she naturally wasn't discovered.
Therefore, Yao Lao eventually accepted Xiao Xue's explanation.
After all, directly fusing Bone Chilling Flame into one's body was not something a human would do.
But Xiao Xue was now standing right in front of him, alive and well.
But thinking about it carefully, had there been few unreasonable things Xiao Xue had done before?
Sure enough, for this kind of Prodigy-level Genius, one could not use common sense to measure them.
As for encountering the Bone Chilling Flame... he was used to it.
In just over a year, Xiao Yan had managed to get two Heavenly Flames, the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.
It wasn't incomprehensible that Xiao Xue had obtained a Netherworld Poison Flame and a Bone Chilling Flame.
Speaking of which... could Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue, this pair of siblings, be the children of destiny of the continent?
Yao Lao actually didn't believe in these things, but now, he had suspicions in his heart.
After all, excluding the unknown first place, there were only twenty-two known Heavenly Flames in total.
Even for the ones ranked lower, there might be two, three, or four of each.
The Heavenly Flames on the entire continent probably numbered just around three digits, or even less.
And how big was the entire continent?
From the Central Plains to the Black-Corner Region, even a Dou Zong would need to fly for several months, and that was just a small part of the continent.
Moreover, a considerable number of Heavenly Flames had already been subdued by large factions or powerful Loose Cultivators.
There might only be two digits of wild Heavenly Flames on the entire continent.
Dozens of Heavenly Flames, placed on the entire continent, were truly like finding a needle in a haystack.
Yet, in just over a year, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue had each obtained two!
And his own remnant soul had luckily run away and happened to land in Xiao Yan's hands.
Then, Xiao Yan chose the Flame Mantra, which required Heavenly Flames to evolve.
Now, only a few years had passed, and the Flame Mantra had already been upgraded to the Earth Rank.
This kind of speed was something Yao Lao hadn't even dared to imagine before.
The Green Lotus Core Flame was easier to explain; at least he had received news back then, hearing that there was a Heavenly Flame in the Tagor Desert.
This Green Lotus Core Flame could barely be considered something they found through joint efforts.
However, that Wind Fury Dragon Flame had simply fallen from the sky onto Xiao Yan's face!
Although the eighteenth-ranked Heavenly Flame wasn't ranked high.
But for Xiao Yan, who was only a Dou Master at the time and had no experience in fusing Heavenly Flames, it was simply the most suitable Heavenly Flame!
This wave was truly heaven holding his head and feeding him.
Moreover, within the Jia Nan Academy, there was another Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth!
Xiao Yan's current fused Heavenly Flame had power comparable to the twelfth-ranked Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
As long as he was careful, plus a little bit of Opportunity, he could completely take down the Fallen Heart Flame!
And the first Heavenly Flame Xiao Xue obtained happened to be the Netherworld Poison Flame.
Before that, she had also happened to encounter the Innate Calamity Poison Body, which was rare even on the entire continent.
...And incidentally, a Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which was equally rare.
Although, given the environment of the Izumo Empire, it wasn't impossible for it to gestate a Netherworld Poison Flame.
But Yao Lao just felt there was a problem.
The other one happened to be the Bone Chilling Flame, with ice and fire attributes.
Xiao Xue's Qi was Water Attribute, but she could also refine it.
Little Yanzi and this little girl, their Luck seemed a bit too good.
It seemed like there were Heavenly Flames everywhere near this place, and they just happened to be the ones most suitable for them...
Although he hadn't thought much of it before, now that he thought about it...
If this isn't a child of destiny, what is?
Therefore, although Xiao Xue's explanation sounded very far-fetched, Yao Lao still accepted it.
It wasn't strange for a child of destiny to encounter any strange encounters.
Yao Lao now felt that the future was bright.
For his resurrection, he needed three Heavenly Flames, the skeleton of a powerful expert, and an Eighth Grade or seventh-grade pill.
The only difference between a seventh-grade and an Eighth Grade Pill was that one might be able to restore all his strength, or even go further.
The other might only be able to restore a portion of his strength.
However, if he only followed the minimum standard, Xiao Yan getting the Fallen Heart Flame from Jia Nan Academy would mean he had three Heavenly Flames.
(He needed a fused Heavenly Flame of three Heavenly Flames, otherwise he would have had enough long ago.)
As for the seventh-grade pill, as long as he gathered enough medicinal ingredients, he could refine it now, but for that Pill Lightning, he needed someone to help him withstand it.
As for the skeleton of a powerful expert, if he wasn't picky, the Eight-Star Dou Zong from just now was already enough.
Therefore, Yao Lao could now truly see the hope of resurrection.
And it was estimated that by the time Xiao Yan obtained the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Xue might be able to break through to the Eighth Grade.
Even if she couldn't reach the Eighth Grade, he could find a way to restore a portion of his strength and refine an Eighth Grade Pill himself.
For the skeleton of a powerful expert, if he contacted his old friend Wind Venerable, even a Dou Zun skeleton, he could get it.
Perhaps, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue could even get a Half-Saint or Dou Saint skeleton.
Add some high-level Demonic Beast Essence Blood, and by the time he resurrected, he would start as a Half-Saint.
Even a Dou Saint was not impossible.
Therefore, Yao Lao did not dwell too much on the fact that Xiao Xue could erupt with Dou Zong strength.
After confirming that Xiao Xue was not injured, Yao Lao retracted back into the storage ring.
Seeing that Yao Lao did not continue to ask, Xiao Xue also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she knew nothing about what Yao Lao had just imagined.
In fact, people like Yao Lao and her Cheap older brother were completely trustworthy.
Exposing Ah Li's existence to them probably wouldn't have any downsides.
She might even be able to get some precious information from Yao Lao.
However, Xiao Xue still felt in the dark that the fewer people who knew about Ah Li's existence, the better.
At least, before she had enough strength to back it up, she shouldn't expose Ah Li's existence.
If there was no problem with Ah Li or the Heavenly Fox Clan, then it would be the same whenever they found out.
But if there were any secrets behind the Heavenly Fox Clan, then exposing Ah Li's existence now and attracting some unnecessary trouble would be counterproductive.
After all, judging from the current situation, the status of the Nine-Tailed Fox should not be lower than the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.
Then, the disappearance of the entire Heavenly Fox Clan probably involved many things.
And with her brother's [opportunity 10], she estimated that once he came into contact with Ah Li, he would forcibly "open" this part of the dungeon, pulling the Heavenly Fox, which had never appeared in the original work, into the script.
At that time, some things would become uncontrollable.
Therefore, this Pandora's box could not be opened yet.
At the very least, she had to wait until she reached Dou Zun and could suppress Ah Li, who was at her Peak and had recovered her memories, before making plans.
After freezing Protector Liu's corpse with the Bone Chilling Flame and throwing it into the storage ring, Xiao Xue let Medusa hold her and returned to Jia Nan Academy.
One day later.
Jia Nan Academy, Inner Academy.
After returning to the Inner Academy, Xiao Xue planned to go directly to Xiao Yi Xian's Clinic, hand the soul cleansing toxin suppressing pill to her, and let her refine it on the spot.
As the saying went, the earlier the Medicinal Pill was taken, the better the effect.
As a result, she was blocked by a middle-aged man.
