275. Chapter 275: Refining the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame! The Yao Clan Medicine Ceremony!

"Brother Gu Fei..."

Looking at the Pill that Gu Fei had left behind, Xun Er did not immediately reach for it.

In her heart, it was as if a heavy stone had finally fallen to the ground.

Just now, Gu Fei's attitude had been very clear; even this act of stripping away the Exotic Fire was merely something that had stirred a sense of "pity" in Gu Fei.

"Brother Gu Fei, I hope you continue to do better and better!" A moment later, Xun Er finally grasped the Pill suspended in the air.

However, she did not consume it.

Instead, she intended to treasure it forever.

On Gu Fei's side, after leaving the quiet mountain peak where Xun Er resided, he returned to his own dwelling without a moment's delay.

This trip to deliver the Pill was purely out of consideration for the fact that Xun Er had been injured while voluntarily stripping away the Exotic Fire.

It was simply some help provided by Gu Fei in his capacity as the highest-ranking Alchemist in the clan.

The attitude in his heart would never change; it was just like a broken mirror that is difficult to mend.

"Husband, was there any urgent matter regarding the Clan Leader's summons this time?"

Xiao Yixian and Cai'er asked.

"The Clan Leader has bestowed the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame upon me!" Gu Fei did not hide it and spoke truthfully.

"The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?"

Upon hearing Gu Fei's answer, the faces of the group first showed joy, but then, as if they had thought of something, their thoughts swirled in their hearts and they did not reply.

"I need to go into seclusion for a period of time to refine this Exotic Fire as quickly as possible."

Gu Fei instructed the group.

As his voice fell, Gu Fei slowly turned and walked toward the secret chamber, and the heavy stone door slowly closed.

Gu Fei sat down cross-legged, stretched out his palm, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame instantly emerged.

In an instant, a scorching aura rushed toward him!

The golden flames danced in his palm, emitting the immense pressure of an Exotic Fire.

Gu Fei did not hesitate; he took a deep breath, then extended his other hand and reached into the interior of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

"Sizzle."

The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame instantly attached itself to Gu Fei's palm, emitting a harsh burning sound.

However, with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, the damage Gu Fei sustained remained within a controllable range.

"Pop!"

Finally, the Exotic Flame Spirit of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was forcibly grabbed out and then swallowed in one gulp.

Gu Fei circulated his cultivation technique, and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame within his body surged up, reflecting the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame; the two supreme Exotic Fires collided within Gu Fei's body, erupting with astonishing energy fluctuations, causing the entire secret chamber to begin to tremble slightly, and cracks appeared on the walls.

"Refine for me!"

Gu Fei let out a low shout and pushed his cultivation technique to the limit. The pink flames of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame lunged toward the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

The two Exotic Fires collided violently within Gu Fei's body, erupting with a deafening roar.

The next moment, Gu Fei's body was enveloped by golden and pink flames, as if he were placed inside a giant furnace.

Fine beads of sweat began to seep from his forehead, and the sweat slid down his cheeks.

Yet, strangely, Gu Fei seemed not to feel any pain, devoting his heart and soul to the process of refining the Exotic Fire.

Time passed second by second, and Gu Fei maintained a high level of concentration throughout.

Inside his body, the collision between the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame became increasingly intense. The two Exotic Fires went back and forth, neither yielding to the other, as if they were engaged in a battle of epic proportions.

Until the third day.

At this time, Gu Fei's body began to undergo changes; fine golden patterns appeared on his skin, emitting a faint glow.

Five days later, Gu Fei's aura became increasingly profound and unfathomable, and two fire dragons could be vaguely seen circling his body, one red and one gold, reflecting each other.

The temperature inside the secret chamber had become shockingly high, to the point that even the stone walls had begun to melt.

Fortunately, Gu Fei had set up a Seal in advance.

Until the seventh day, Gu Fei suddenly opened his eyes; his pupils flickered with golden and pink flames, as if two miniature suns were burning within them.

A terrifying pressure erupted from his body, instantly shattering the entire secret chamber. "Success!"

Gu Fei let out a long breath, feeling the wonderful sensation of the two Exotic Fires coexisting harmoniously within his body, and he stood up and stretched his limbs. Only the sound of cracking could be heard, and streams of pure energy circulated within his body.

"Almost at Six-Star Mid-Stage."

Gu Fei muttered to himself, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

After refining the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, his cultivation had indeed made great progress, with signs of faintly stepping into the Six-Star Mid-Stage.

However, Gu Fei was not satisfied with this.

"System, upgrade!"

Gu Fei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and silently recited in his heart.

【Consuming 500,000 Emotion Value, providing one opportunity for an Epiphany.】

The system's prompt sounded in Gu Fei's mind.

The next moment, Gu Fei only felt a mysterious sensation surge into his heart.

His consciousness seemed to detach from his physical body and enter a strange space.

Time seemed to stop flowing at this moment; Gu Fei did not know how long he had stayed in this space, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already three days later.

"Six-Star Late-Stage!"

Gu Fei felt the surging power within his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. This Epiphany had allowed him to break through directly to the Six-Star Late-Stage, and his strength had once again taken a qualitative leap.

Walking out of the secret chamber, the sunlight spilled onto Gu Fei, making him feel a wave of warmth.

"Daddy!"

The commotion from before had been sensed by those outside, so everyone had been waiting there early on.

Upon learning of Gu Fei's cultivation results this time, everyone felt happy for him.

"Husband, I heard that the date for the Yao Clan's Medicine Ceremony is almost here."

Xiao Yixian suddenly spoke up.

"The Medicine Ceremony... I almost forgot about this during this closed-door cultivation."

Gu Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"Husband, you are definitely going to participate in this Medicine Ceremony, right!"

"Naturally!"

Gu Fei smiled slightly and nodded.

Who in the world does not crave fame? The Yao Clan's Medicine Ceremony is, after all, the grand event that determines the world's number one Alchemist.

For any Alchemist, it is an excellent opportunity to showcase their strength!

What's more, Gu Fei had other motives; he hoped that Hun Xuzi would come.

If that were the case, he would have the opportunity to come into contact with the legendary Void Swallowing Flame Sub-Flame.

If Xiao Ying could have the chance to devour a portion of the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-Flame's power, then this trip to the Medicine Ceremony would be a massive gain.

"The Medicine Ceremony, huh."

"The Yao Clan is situated in the Shennong Mountain Range in the far south of the Central Plains; that is a good place, and I have long wanted to go see it."

Cai'er said thoughtfully.

"That's right."

"Although this Shennong Mountain Range belongs to a wild and desolate region, plagued by poisonous insects and fierce beasts all year round! But because of the existence of the Yao Clan, it has instead become a paradise for Alchemists."

Gu Fei nodded.

"I heard that it is rich in all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, and many Alchemists travel thousands of miles to search for materials for refining pills."

Xiao Yixian said with a smile.

"After this Medicine Ceremony ends, I will take you all for a good tour around the Shennong Mountain Range."

Gu Fei smiled and patted Xiao Yixian's head as he spoke.

Xiao Yixian nodded. "Let's prepare; we need to set off..."
