Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

"The Flame of Life? The Yin-Yang Twin Flames? Why do you need these two kinds of strange flames?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

"Strange Fire, flames born from heaven and earth. Most Strange Fires have extremely violent energy. You should know how violent the energy of Strange Fires is after absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame," Bai Lie explained leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"Um."

Bai Lie continued, "But nothing is absolute. There are two very special strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking. This Flame of Life is not like other strange flames that have powerful destructive force. What makes it famous is its vast life force."

As you know, the Flame of Life is known as the Flame of Longevity, capable of granting its master a lifespan comparable to that of a magical beast, and also has the effect of accelerating the growth of medicinal herbs. Precisely because it possesses extremely strong vitality, it is suitable for delicate tasks, such as those in your teacher's situation.

Using the Flame of Life to refine the medicinal power within your teacher's body will not only prevent harm, but the vitality of the Flame of Life will also enhance your teacher's vitality. However, the Flame of Life is extremely rare and cannot be found even in several lifetimes.

In any case, in all my years of life, I've never heard of anyone wielding the Flame of Life.

Xiao Li knew about the Flame of Life, but he had no interest in it. The Flame of Life was in the hands of an old rogue cultivator named Shennong, who was arguably the strongest rogue cultivator of his time, not only a six-star Dou Sheng but also a ninth-grade Xuan Dan master.

This old man is elusive and difficult to find. Even if Xiao Li finds him, he can't ask him for help. He might even get killed by him, since almost no one knows that Shennong possesses the Flame of Life.

But what Xiao Li was curious about was that Bai Lie not only mentioned the Flame of Life but also the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, which Xiao Li happened to know about!

Xiao Li asked anxiously, "Elder Bai, what about the Yin-Yang Twin Flames?"

"The Yin-Yang Twin Flames, born from the very origin of the universe's void, possess both life-and-death power: the white Yang Flame contains vitality and can heal injuries; the black Yin Flame is destructive, instantly turning anyone who touches it to ashes."

This Yang Fire contains life force. If you were to subdue the Yin and Yang Flames and manipulate the Yang Fire to help your teacher refine the medicinal power, that would be feasible. However, the Yin and Yang Flames are extremely rare.

Since the emergence of the Strange Flame Ranking, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames have appeared only a handful of times. Their rarity is comparable to that of the top ten Strange Flames on the ranking. Perhaps the low ranking of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames is due to their difficulty in obtaining them. This is just my speculation; take it with a grain of salt.

Bai Lie told Xiao Li about the effects of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, which gave Xiao Li a new idea.

"Thank you, Elder Bai. I have a solution." Xiao Li bowed to Bai Lie.

"Anyway, there are only these two methods. If you don't have any other options, you should ask Mang Tianchi Old Ghost. Anyway, this old guy won't ignore your request. Besides, he's a big spender, so you can take as much as you want from him."

However, I must remind you that Mang Tianchi's identity is quite special. Try your best not to owe anyone favors, otherwise, once you come into contact with certain people, you'll know how difficult it is to repay such favors.

Bai Lie shrugged and said, "Qian Bai Er Lao knows what kind of race Mang Tian Chi comes from, and he has also seen the people of that race. They are all arrogant and look down on the people of the mainland, regarding them as lowly people."

Bai Lie's idea was that he didn't want Xiao Li to be lured into that clan by some shameless guys because of Mang Tian Chi. Bai Lie hoped that Xiao Li would become a top expert as a rogue cultivator to prove to them that even if he had ancestral blessings, it was nothing special!

"Elder Bai, can you seal the medicinal power in my teacher's body and prevent his condition from worsening? I have a way," Xiao Li said with a determined look.

"That's fine, anyway, the academy has the old ghost Mang Tianchi, ah no, the dean is there, so I can stay outside a little longer to relax."

"I can keep an eye on your teacher here, but you only have six months. My cultivation level only allows me to seal him for six months. After that, your teacher will suffer a backlash and die."

Bai Lie explained the pros and cons to Xiao Li. He didn't know what Xiao Li's plan was, but he was looking forward to Xiao Li giving him a surprise.

"Thank you, Elder Bai. Half a year? That's enough!" Xiao Li bowed to Bai Lie, then went to Yun Yun's side.

Xiao Li took Yun Yun's hand: "Yun'er, take me there."

"But......."

Xiao Li: "Take me to see this place first."

"All right."

Xiao Li and Yun Yun then left, flying towards the location of the Jia Ma Empire.

"Hey, youth is wonderful. The two of you look quite well-matched standing together," Bai Lie said with a smile, stroking his beard. He then cast a spatial seal on Old Wang, sealing off most of the medicinal power within Old Wang's body.

Xiao Ting sat atop the hill, unaware of his grandson's plans, and could only wait there.

"And who are you?" Bai Lie noticed Xiao Ting.

"Elder Bai, I am Xiao Ting, Xiao Li's grandfather," Xiao Ting said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Oh, I see. A four-star Dou Huang is quite powerful, but he's a bit old." Bai Lie could see through Xiao Ting's cultivation at a glance, then he stopped talking and closed his eyes to meditate.

Xiao Ting also began cultivating, taking a Qingyuan Pill before starting.

. . . . . .

"Li, wait a minute. Are you trying to refine the Yin-Yang Twin Flames? But you already have a different kind of flame. To absorb two different kinds of flames at the same time, this..." Yun Yun's beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

"This is suicidal, isn't it? But there's no other way. It's the only way to save the teacher. I need the Yin-Yang Twin Flames. Even if it's dangerous, I have to go!"

"If Yun'er were to encounter trouble with Elder Yun, you wouldn't stand idly by!" Xiao Li's gaze was firm. He had to absorb the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, and if necessary, he would abandon the Fallen Heart Flame.

Yun Yun didn't know what to say. If her master, Yun Shan, were in trouble, she certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

"Don't worry, the Fallen Heart Flame within me is not complete, it's just a fragment. I'm confident I can absorb the Yin and Yang Flames. If all else fails, I have other methods."

Xiao Li reassured Yun Yun, because only Yun Yun knew the location of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames. If Yun Yun was afraid of him getting into danger and didn't tell him the location of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, then something bad would happen.

Yun Yun gave a soft snort: "You're almost twenty, and still so immature. I care about you so much, and you just want to be strong? Fine, go ahead and do it yourself!"

Xiao Li was unaware that Yun Yun was having a little emotional outburst, but he couldn't care less about that now.

Several days later,

Yunlan Sect

Xiao Li and Yun Yun returned to Yunlan Sect. Led by Yun Yun, they flew directly to the back mountain and arrived at an ancient mountain range. There was an ancient stone gate there, covered with the marks of time.

"This is the secret realm of my Yunlan Sect, the Gate of Life and Death!" Yun Yun introduced.

"Where are the Yin-Yang Twin Flames located?" Xiao Li asked.

Seeing that Xiao Li was determined to refine the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, Yun Yun sighed inwardly: "After you enter the Gate of Life and Death, you will meet the previous sect leaders of my Yunlan Sect. I will give you a token so that you can pass through there."

Go deeper, and you'll find a massive stone sword; behind it, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames reside.

After giving her instructions, Yun Yun opened the Gate of Life and Death. Inside the stone gate was a vortex-like spatial portal, which was the entrance to the secret realm.

"I understand." Xiao Li nodded, then turned around and hugged Yun Yun tightly. "Thank you, Yun'er. It's so good to have you here. I'm sorry, I'm a very willful person, but I have things I have to do!"

Xiao Li gently kissed Yun Yun's forehead before entering the Gate of Life and Death.

Yun Yun stood there stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, her face turned red instantly.

"You wicked Xiao Li!"
