Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 77 A downgraded version of Bone Spirit Cold Flame - Snow Demon Heavenly Ape Flame

"The Snow Demon Ape is renowned for its power of ice, and it's quite rare that it can give birth to such a beastly fire that combines ice and fire. It seems that this beast is extremely old and has actually condensed a portion of the essence of ice and the fiery aura of heaven and earth together."

Xiao Xuan looked at the cluster of flames on the Snow Demon Ape Beast Core and spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi's eyes were filled with surprise.

I only wanted to get the Earth Core Tempering Milk, but I didn't expect to have this unexpected gain.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yi slowly reached out and approached.

My fingertips immediately felt two completely different forces.

On one side was the extreme cold that could freeze and crack meridians, and on the other side was the intense heat that could scorch battle qi. The two forces were tearing each other apart wildly in that cluster of flames, yet strangely maintaining a balance.

Xiao Yi knew that although this kind of beast fire was not as domineering as strange fire, it was superior in that it had strange characteristics.

If I can refine it, it will surely be of great help to my future alchemy.

Xiao Yi swiftly created a protective barrier with his fighting spirit in his palm.

Carefully, he peeled the cluster of ice-fire beast fire from the remnants of the Snow Demon Ape's inner core.

The moment the flames left the body, the surrounding icy aura suddenly dissipated, revealing charred marks on the ground, creating a stark contrast with the frozen scene just moments before.

Xiao Yi gripped the beast fire in his palm, feeling the violent heat hidden beneath the icy cold.

"As expected of the Snow Demon Celestial Ape—"

"The raging bloodline within me is actually manifesting in this beastly fire!"

Xiao Yi felt the blazing flames burning in his palm and couldn't help but praise it.

Xiao Xuan merely glanced down at the flame in Xiao Yi's palm and said softly, "This beast fire is not bad—"

"Although it was born from a fifth-tier Snow Demon Sky Ape, it looks quite similar to some sixth-tier beast fires—"

"Look at you, kid, trying to tame this beast fire?"

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, then turned to look at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Although the purpose of this trip to Canaan Academy was to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame, one can't simply refuse this beast fire that's been delivered right before their eyes—

Although this beast fire cannot compare to other fires, it is still a kind of fire after all.

In Xiao Yi's view, the more fire, the better—

"So be it, so be it—"

"While this beast fire may not be as precious as a strange fire, it can still be of use to you now—"

"Then let's subdue it—"

Xiao Xuan spoke softly, and then with a light tap of his fingertip, a wisp of soul imprint emerged from Xiao Yi's forehead and flowed into the beast fire in his palm.

"I have already imprinted your soul mark into this beastly fire; you can simply integrate it into your body—"

Xiao Xuan spoke in a deep voice.

Only then did Xiao Yi realize that the beast fire, which had seemed extremely violent just moments before, was now much more docile.

It was as if they considered themselves the masters.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi didn't hesitate.

Xiao Yi immediately circulated his battle qi, slowly absorbing the beast fire in his palm and integrating it into his body!

Because the beast fire had planted a soul imprint on Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi did not feel any discomfort throughout the entire process, and it proceeded extremely smoothly.

When the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape Fire merged into his body, he felt a warm, comforting power within him.

When Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, he simply activated the beast fire within his body.

Immediately, a white flame appeared in his palm, with a hint of red mixed in at its center.

"This is the Beast Fire—"

"It really does feel different—"

Xiao Yi carefully examined the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape Fire he had summoned and murmured something to himself.

Feeling the icy aura emanating from the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape Fire in his palm.

Xiao Xuan murmured to himself, "This beast fire does bear a striking resemblance to the Bone Spirit Cold Fire of the Medicine Venerable—"

This beast fire is, in a strict sense, the first type of flame that Xiao Yi has obtained at this moment!

Immediately, Xiao Yi looked up at Xiao Xuan and said softly, "Ancestor, since you were able to subdue the beast fire so easily for me—"

"Would the Fallen Heartflame be able to do the same thing then?"

Xiao Yi grinned mischievously as he looked at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Yi and said in a deep voice, "What are you thinking, kid—"

"The Fallen Heart Flame is a different kind of flame; how could this mere low-level beast fire possibly compare to it?"

"The power of a different kind of fire is incomparable to that of a beast fire. Even the lower-ranked different kinds of fire are extremely terrifying!"

"When a different kind of fire appears, all other fires submit!"

"Moreover, the Fallen Heart Flame has now developed sentience; it's not as simple as you think!"

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.

He was well aware of the dangers of subduing the strange fire; he was just joking.

Xiao Yi slowly rose and said softly, "Ancestor, the Snow Demon Ape just now said that there is Earth Core Tempering Milk in this cave—"

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Xuan's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Earth Core Tempering Milk?"

"I never expected that there would be such wonderful things within Canaan Academy—"

"You're really lucky, kid!"

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, the two of them slowly stepped into the canyon that the Snow Demon Ape had protected with its life.

With Xiao Xuan's powerful soul force guiding them, the two of them found the Snow Demon Ape's underground lair with great ease, without much effort.

Xiao Yi looked at the bottomless lair without the slightest hesitation.

He jumped down.

Xiao Yi descended for a full two and a half minutes before finally arriving at the Snow Demon Sky Ape's true underground lair.

Guided by Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yi quickly arrived at the foot of a huge stalactite.

On the stalactite, liquid containing pure energy was dripping down.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously murmured something under his breath.

"This is the Earth Core Tempering Milk—"

However, Xiao Xuan simply smiled slightly: "Little fellow—"

"Don't worry, this is just a diluted version of the Earth Core Tempering Emulsion. The truly pure Earth Core Tempering Emulsion is right here!"

As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, a red light blade ripped through the void, directly creating a huge gash in the massive stalactite.

Instantly, a crystal-clear light emanated, and an even purer energy surged forth.

"This is the real Earth Core Tempering Milk!"

"I never imagined that such a desolate place could actually nurture such a rare and precious treasure—"

Xiao Xuan was also quite surprised at this moment.

However, Xiao Yi couldn't wait any longer and immediately set off to pack up all the truly pure Earth Core Tempering Milk.

But Xiao Xuan suddenly spoke up, "Little guy, don't be greedy—"

"This Earth Core Tempering Milk is a good thing, but given your current strength, about twenty drops should be enough."

"I will seal and hide the rest, and retrieve them when needed in the future."

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this, because he remembered that in the original story, Xiao Yan only took thirteen drops of Earth Core Tempering Milk and directly advanced from an eight-star Great Dou Master to a Dou Spirit.

Now, taking twenty drops should be enough for me, since any more would be a waste since I can't absorb it all.

Moreover, this Earth Core Tempering Milk is extremely difficult to preserve—

If its pure energy is not absorbed in time, it will soon become waste liquid.

Therefore, Xiao Xuan's suggestion to return and retrieve it only when needed makes a lot of sense.
