Chapter 20: Fusing Exotic Fires

In the cultivation room.

With the experience of swallowing the Green Lotus Core Flame, Jiang Xing familiarly stripped out the source fire seed of the Fallen Heart Flame.

He poured out the Earth Spirit Pill from the jade bottle and swallowed it without hesitation.

The Earth Spirit Pill is a Sixth-Grade Medicinal Pill that can help people guard their minds and clear fire toxins.

When swallowing the Fallen Heart Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame will produce heart fire characteristics. With the Earth Spirit Pill, it can help him refine the Fallen Heart Flame to the greatest extent.

Sure enough, after taking this Earth Spirit Pill, Jiang Xing swept away his previous concerns and directly cast aside distracting thoughts, his heart as still as water.

Subsequently, Jiang Xing directly swallowed the Fallen Heart Flame he had just stripped out.

As soon as the Fallen Heart Flame entered his body, Jiang Xing felt that familiar burning sensation again.

Although this time the feeling was even more intense than when swallowing the Green Lotus Core Flame, Jiang Xing, who was not feeling it for the first time, could still endure it.

After the Fallen Heart Flame entered his body, it still wanted to run around.

Jiang Xing condensed several nets in his body, wanting to trap the Fallen Heart Flame, but Jiang Xing still overestimated his Dou Qi and underestimated the terrifying destructive power of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Under the high temperature emitted by the Fallen Heart Flame, the Dou Qi net was burned into nothingness as soon as it approached.

Sss, this Fallen Heart Flame is a bit fierce!

There was no other way, Jiang Xing could only condense Dou Qi again, but this time he didn't want to condense a Dou Qi net anymore, because he estimated that with the Fallen Heart Flame's temperature being so high, no matter how many Dou Qi nets he condensed and stacked together, they couldn't wrap the Fallen Heart Flame.

So Jiang Xing planned to change his strategy. He directly condensed a thick wall and planned to drive the Fallen Heart Flame over.

After Jiang Xing's continuous efforts, the Fallen Heart Flame was finally driven to the designated position.

The fusion of Exotic Fires requires erasing its intelligence, so Jiang Xing controlled the energy of the Green Lotus Core Flame to impact the Fallen Heart Flame. Although the ranking of the Green Lotus Core Flame was behind that of the Fallen Heart Flame, the Green Lotus Core Flame had Jiang Xing's Dou Qi input to supplement energy.

One had supplies, the other didn't, so the final result was imaginable.

After spending quite a bit of effort, the Fallen Heart Flame source finally couldn't hold on, and its intelligence was directly washed away by the Green Lotus Core Flame.

The Fallen Heart Flame, whose intelligence had disappeared, had now calmed down and no longer ran around as it did at the beginning.

So Jiang Xing directly pushed the Fallen Heart Flame into his meridians with Dou Qi and began to operate the Burning Flame Art to refine it.

Refining the Fallen Heart Flame did not have much danger, so Jiang Xing quickly completed the refining of the Fallen Heart Flame.

After completing the refining, the next step was the most important and also the most dangerous fusion link.

However, Jiang Xing didn't start directly. He had spent quite a bit of Dou Qi when driving the Fallen Heart Flame to his meridians just now, and now he still needed to recover his Dou Qi.

Facing this most difficult and dangerous step, Jiang Xing wanted to complete it in the best state.

Jiang Xing took out a Sixth-Grade Recovery Pill from his Storage Ring. The effect of this Recovery Pill was the same as Xiao Yan's Return Qi Pill, both of which could accelerate the recovery of Dou Qi in a short time.

It's just that the grade of Jiang Xing's Recovery Pill was higher than that of the Return Qi Pill, so the recovery speed was naturally not comparable to that of the Return Qi Pill.

After taking this Recovery Pill, the Dou Qi Jiang Xing had just consumed quickly recovered.

After adjusting his state, Jiang Xing sank his mind into his body.

At this time, the Fallen Heart Flame was floating above the Qi cyclone, and Jiang Xing summoned the Green Lotus Core Flame.

After the Green Lotus Core Flame was summoned, the originally calm Fallen Heart Flame suddenly boiled.

Exotic Fires are natural enemies to each other. If they meet, they will instinctively want to swallow each other and absorb the other's energy to strengthen themselves.

While Jiang Xing controlled the Green Lotus Core Flame to approach, he began to urge the Burning Flame Art. As the Green Lotus Core Flame approached, the Fallen Heart Flame boiled more violently.

Jiang Xing operated the Burning Flame Art, inputting Dou Qi, trying to stabilize the two.

However, this was useless. The closer the Exotic Fires were, the more violently they boiled.

There was no other way, Jiang Xing had to increase the input of Dou Qi.

Fortunately, increasing the input of Dou Qi still had an effect, and Jiang Xing finally brought the two into contact.

After the two Exotic Fires came into contact, a crackling sound like firecrackers was heard, followed by waves of pain. However, even if it was painful, Jiang Xing could only endure it, because he knew that this was the critical moment for fusing the Exotic Fires and he absolutely could not be distracted.

Jiang Xing mobilized the Burning Flame Art Dou Qi to input into the two. Under the reconciliation of the Burning Flame Art Dou Qi, the explosion finally continued to weaken, but they did not fuse together.

Jiang Xing continued to increase the input of Dou Qi, and finally, Jiang Xing was pleasantly surprised to find that the two Exotic Fires of different colors were slowly starting to fuse.

And when Jiang Xing reduced the input of Dou Qi, the place where the two contacted began to explode again.

Frightened, Jiang Xing hurriedly increased the input of Dou Qi, and the two began to fuse again.

There was no other way, the consumption of Dou Qi was too great, Jiang Xing could only output Dou Qi while taking Recovery Pills to recover Dou Qi...

As time passed, Jiang Xing couldn't remember how long he had been fusing.

And in his body, the cyan flame and the colorless flame that originally formed an opposing situation had now completely fused together, and the color of the flame had also turned into an emerald green.

Seeing the new Exotic Fire fused from the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame, Jiang Xing let out a long breath.

"Phew, finally succeeded!"

The first fusion of Exotic Fires was successful, and Jiang Xing was full of joy and happiness.

Perhaps because his strength was relatively strong, the sequelae that Xiao Yan had after fusing the Exotic Fires did not happen to Jiang Xing.

After absorbing the Exotic Fire, Jiang Xing's realm finally returned to the One-Star Dou Zong he was when he went out, and the Burning Flame Art also broke through from the Xuan Grade Low Level to the Xuan Grade High Level.

This made Jiang Xing couldn't help but complain: "This Burning Flame Art evolves a bit slowly!"

It took absorbing two Exotic Fires to break through to the Xuan Grade High Level.

It's not that he hadn't thought about absorbing Beast Fire first to increase the level of the Burning Flame Art and then absorbing the Exotic Fire, but he finally gave up.

Absorbing Beast Fire first can indeed increase the level of the Burning Flame Art, and Xiao Yan in the original story also did this.

But Xiao Yan never absorbed other Exotic Fires after absorbing the Purple-Crystal Winged Lion King's Beast Fire.

Is it because Beast Fire is relatively weak?

Obviously not. The power of the Beast Fire of a Dou Zun-level Magic Beast is already comparable to or even exceeds that of the lower-ranked Exotic Fires.

Then why didn't Xiao Yan use a large amount of Beast Fire to improve the level of the Burning Flame Art when he couldn't find Exotic Fires later?

Jiang Xing suspected that there were some side effects to swallowing Beast Fire, so he didn't dare to absorb it, fearing that he would ruin his cultivation.

Moreover, Beast Fire is ultimately not an Exotic Fire. If you want to increase the power of the Burning Flame Art, you ultimately need Exotic Fire.

However, Jiang Xing was indeed wrong this time. In fact, practicing the Burning Flame Art can also absorb Beast Fire, and there are no side effects.

The reason Xiao Yan didn't absorb Beast Fire to improve the level of the Burning Flame Art in the later stages was actually because when the Burning Flame Art was practiced to the later stages, absorbing Beast Fire could no longer make the Burning Flame Art evolve, not because there were side effects to absorbing Beast Fire.

"I wonder how long it took to fuse the Exotic Fires? And I wonder if the Queen has woken up?"

Before absorbing the Exotic Fire, Jiang Xing handed the Seven-Colored Little Snake to the Great Elder of the Snake People Clan and asked her to help take care of it.

Jiang Xing stood up and left the cultivation room.

Leaving his residence, Jiang Xing headed towards the Great Elder of the Snake People Clan's residence, wanting to see if the Queen had woken up during the time he was refining the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, before he could reach there, he saw Qing Lin walking towards him.

Qing Lin also saw Jiang Xing and ran over happily, saying: "Young Master, you have come out of seclusion."

Qing Lin was still in a light green outfit, but her height had grown a lot, and her once somewhat thin figure had become much fuller and more mature.

Jiang Xing also smiled and nodded at Qing Lin, and asked: "Qing Lin, how long have I been in seclusion?"

"Young Master, you have been in seclusion for a month."

Jiang Xing murmured: "Has it been a month already?"
