The bright golden sun was like a cluster of flames. It emitted a scorching heat that mercilessly sprinkled onto the vast continent below.
The deep blue sky was like a calm ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was not even a single cloud in sight. This caused the world that was already filled with high temperatures to appear even hotter. There was very little moisture in the dry air. An ordinary person would become even weaker with every breath they took. However, in this extremely hot world, there was a black robed human figure who was calmly sitting on a mountain peak.
The mountain peak that he was on was definitely the place where the sun was the fiercest in the world. Moreover, in this kind of terrible weather, even some Half-emperor experts would not choose to stay here. The appearance of this black robed human figure naturally appeared extremely strange.
Of course, no matter how strange it was, in this Xilin mountain range where almost no one would come to, there would naturally be no one who would discover it.
The bright sun hung high in the sky. The trees in the mountain range were pitifully drooping their heads. However, at this moment, Xiao Yan was full of energy.
After three consecutive days of training, not only had Xiao Yan completely refined the energy in his body, even his aura had completely recovered to its peak. Even though there were still some injuries left in his body, there was no longer any fear.
Feeling the powerful fire type energy that filled the world, Xiao Yan's face revealed a smile. He randomly extended a hand and casually clenched it in the empty space in front of him.
Feeling the scorching heat that was transmitted from his palm, a different expression involuntarily surfaced in Xiao Yan's eyes. He did not expect that the fire type energy in this world that he was currently in would actually be so strong. If he were to use this place to train, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?
Of course, even though this was the case, Xiao Yan did not plan to train here. Currently, his strength had temporarily reached a bottleneck. It was clearly unrealistic for him to want to raise his strength again within a short period of time. At this moment, Xiao Yan's vortex had difficulty containing even the slightest bit of Dou Qi.
He sighed in his heart. Such a good place for cultivation did not exist all the time. It would only appear coincidentally at certain times. Moreover, such a strange place existed for a limited time. It could last for a few months, or it could only last for a few days. It was even possible that it could last for only a few hours.
Seeing that he could not use such an excellent training place, Xiao Yan involuntarily felt some regret in his heart. He helplessly sighed. Xiao Yan gently shook his head and withdrew his thoughts. Only then did his gaze return to the jade box in his palm.
Seeing the jade box in his hand, the expression in Xiao Yan's eyes gradually changed. His face involuntarily revealed an excited expression. After searching for a few months, he had finally obtained it!
"Soul Gathering Fruit … with you, I will definitely be able to break through to a rank three alchemist!"
Xiao Yan spoke in a fervent tone. He could not wait to open the jade box. Immediately, a dense milky white fog spread outwards the moment the jade box was opened.
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt as though a hot spring had poured into the depths of his soul. His entire body felt relaxed from inside out. His mouth involuntarily emitted a comfortable moan. It was as though the fatigue that had accumulated over a long period of time had been completely washed away at this moment. His entire body felt refreshed from inside out.
Immediately, Xiao Yan's eyes widened. He swiftly recovered his senses. When he looked at the interior of the jade box in his hand, the expression in his eyes was incomparably excited.
This was merely the Spiritual Strength that seeped out from the Soul Gathering Fruit. It was actually powerful to such an extent. Moreover, its purity could allow anyone to easily swallow it. It must be said that this Soul Gathering Fruit was truly worthy of being called a Spiritual Medicine that surpassed the Soul Baby Fruit. It was even more valuable!
"Huff …"
It was a long while later before Xiao Yan slowly exhaled. His throat involuntarily moved. There was no need to say more about the fiery expression in his eyes.
"Rank three alchemist! I'm coming! "
Xiao Yan cried out in excitement. Immediately, he no longer hesitated. A thought passed through his mind. Vast and mighty Spiritual Strength immediately surged out from between his eyebrows and swiftly wrapped around the Soul Gathering Fruit within the jade box. It was just like a pair of invisible large hands that carefully lifted it up. Immediately, Xiao Yan opened his large mouth. Immediately, a magnificent Heavenly Flame gushed out and similarly carefully wrapped around the Soul Gathering Fruit. After which, he slowly sent it into his mouth.
The moment the palm sized Soul Gathering Fruit entered Xiao Yan's mouth, it swiftly melted. Like milk, it followed Xiao Yan's throat and instantly entered Xiao Yan's body.
"Bang!"
In the next instant, Xiao Yan's body, which was seated on the mountain peak, suddenly shook. Immediately, an invisible energy storm suddenly swept across the sky above the mountain range with Xiao Yan as the epicenter.
At the same time, an extremely frightening Spiritual Pressure instantly filled the area. At this moment, all the Magical Beasts within the mountain range were heavily pressed to the ground by this aura. All of them were crawling on the ground while their hearts were filled with fear. Their enormous bodies did not dare to make the slightest movement.
Of course, in the face of this frightening Spiritual Strength pressure, forget about not daring to move. Even if they really dared to move, under this pressure, they were completely unable to move even if they wanted to.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was seated on the mountain peak, was also observing his own body with shock. The wild joy in his heart was difficult to describe with words.
At this very moment, the Soul Gathering Fruit that had entered Xiao Yan's body was suspended within Xiao Yan's vortex. It was coincidentally right above the vortex space.
As a milky white light was released from the Soul Gathering Fruit, waves of majestic and boundless pure Spiritual Strength continuously swept through Xiao Yan's body. After passing through Xiao Yan's body, it spread in all directions.
The expression on Xiao Yan's face involuntarily changed when he saw this scene. Although he had the intention of using his Spiritual Strength to merge with it, the enormous Spiritual Strength that was emitted from the Soul Gathering Fruit passed through his body regardless of what Xiao Yan did. It appeared to have ignored him as it continued to spread into the distant empty space.
"Damn it, why is it like this?!"
The appearance of this scene caused Xiao Yan to feel incomparably shocked in his heart. He did not expect that the 'Soul Gathering Fruit' that he had painstakingly found would end up in such a manner. From the looks of it, if he was unable to retrieve the Spiritual Strength that had spread out, it was likely that the Spiritual Strength within the entire 'Soul Gathering Fruit' would completely disappear in this manner!
Using a sieve to draw water was an outcome that Xiao Yan could not accept.
"Old Bone, what's going on? Could it be that I can only watch as this Soul Energy continues to spread?"
"Hee hee, brat, the Spiritual Strength contained within the Soul Gathering Fruit is indeed the purest and strongest. However, it is naturally impossible to easily swallow and refine it using ordinary methods. After all, it is an item of nature. How can it be so easily swallowed by you?"
Gu You chuckled when he heard Xiao Yan's request for help. He explained to Xiao Yan.
"If you really want to devour these Spiritual Energies, it's best to use the 'Heavenly Flame' to do a simple refinement before devouring them. Although this will more or less consume some of the Spiritual Energies, you will still be able to devour most of the Spiritual Energies. There are gains and losses. Don't be delusional in thinking that there is a perfect method."
Xiao Yan finally understood in his heart when he heard these words. It seemed that the Spiritual Strength of this Soul Agglomerating Fruit was not so easy to obtain. Being able to easily swallow it was merely because the Soul Agglomerating Fruit was unable to cause any harm to an ordinary person. However, if one really wanted to swallow it, it would really be difficult to do so without a certain amount of exhaustion.
"There are gains and losses, huh …"
Xiao Yan softly muttered what Gu You had said earlier. He involuntarily nodded. Most things in this world were like this. If one wanted to obtain something, one had to lose something. Everything was proportional. Gains and losses were interdependent.
"Thank you Old Gu for your guidance!"
Xiao Yan did not hesitate after thanking Gu You in his heart. A thought passed through his mind and the enormous Dou Qi within the vortex swiftly rotated like a windmill. The brilliant Heavenly Flame also rose and agglomerated into a beautiful fire medicinal cauldron. The Soul Gathering Fruit was placed within it.
"Clang clang clang!"
As expected, with the 'Heavenly Flame' blocking it this time around, the Spiritual Strength that had originally spread outwards was indeed restricted by the 'Heavenly Flame'. The enormous and pure Spiritual Strength collided back and forth within the medicinal cauldron. The fire medicinal cauldron emitted waves of intense 'dang dang' sounds. The entire medicinal cauldron involuntarily trembled.
It must be said that the Spiritual Strength contained within the Soul Gathering Fruit was frighteningly powerful. Fortunately, this thing did not possess any destructive strength to an ordinary person. Otherwise, with the strength of this Spiritual Strength, it was likely that it would be enough to shatter Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength after a countless number of attacks!
"Hmph, refine it!"
A stern cry was suddenly emitted from Xiao Yan's mouth after a short moment of surprise in his heart. At the same time, the turbulent 'Heavenly Flame' within the medicinal cauldron that was suspended within Xiao Yan's vortex also surged up like an ancient Magical Beast. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced toward the Soul Gathering Fruit.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
At the same time, the Soul Condensation Fruit also seemed to have an independent reaction. After the milky-white fruit buzzed and trembled, a large amount of pure Spiritual Energy swiftly surged out from the Soul Condensation Fruit. In the blink of an eye, a layer of seemingly invisible Spiritual Energy condensed on the surface of the Soul Condensation Fruit, tightly protecting the Soul Condensation Fruit within it.
"Chi chi chi chi …"
With the cover of this layer of Spiritual Strength, the attack of the Heavenly Flame was temporarily blocked. The Spiritual Strength on it was being refined at an extremely slow speed under the frighteningly high temperature of the Heavenly Flame. Although this method was indeed effective, it was likely that Xiao Yan would have to spend quite a lot of time on this Soul Gathering Fruit if he were to really do it this way!
"It is unexpected that this thing actually has an independent defense. It is indeed worthy of being the Soul Gathering Fruit. However, if it is only like this, you should obediently allow me to refine it!"
Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise in his heart. Soon after, however, a cold smile surfaced on his face. At the same time that his mind looked inside, he controlled the enormous Dou Qi within the vortex within his body. It surged out like a furious yellow river, agglomerating into a huge Dou Qi dragon within the vortex. After which, it charged into the medicinal cauldron.
"Roar!"
A low and deep dragon roar was suddenly emitted from within the medicinal cauldron the instant this enormous Dou Qi was poured in. Soon after, the brilliant flame became even more violent as it charged toward the Soul Gathering Fruit.
"Chi chi chi!"
Compared to a moment ago, under the powerful might of the Heavenly Flame, the layer of Spiritual Barrier on the surface of the Soul Condensation Fruit was like ice that had met fire as it swiftly melted. Within a short moment, the Spiritual Barrier was about to shatter.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz!"
At this moment, another wave of dazzling intense light flickered on the Soul Gathering Fruit. A powerful Spiritual Strength immediately surged out from within and swiftly poured into the Spiritual Barrier.
"Humph, you still want to condense it? Break it! "
Xiao Yan immediately let out a loud cry in his heart when he saw this scene. At the same time, the ferocious' Heavenly Flame 'that was surrounding the' Soul Gathering Fruit 'within the medicinal cauldron transformed into a large' Heavenly Flame 'dragon in the blink of an eye. The dragon twisted its body. The moment the enormous Spiritual Strength was about to surge into the Spiritual Barrier, the enormous dragon widened its large mouth and violently bit the Spiritual Barrier, which was already on the verge of shattering.
"Bang!"
The Spiritual Barrier could not endure for even a short instant before it shattered with a bang. Soon after, the Soul Gathering Fruit below was swallowed by the huge dragon!
"Bang!"
The instant the Soul Gathering Fruit was swallowed by the huge fire dragon, an even more ferocious flame within the fire medicinal cauldron immediately swarmed forward. It was just like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey as it crazily refined the Soul Gathering Fruit that was heavily surrounded by the Heavenly Flame.
At this moment, no matter how much Spiritual Strength surged out from the Soul Gathering Fruit, it would be swiftly torn apart by the surrounding Heavenly Flame. It would be broken down and swallowed one by one.
As the Spiritual Strength was continuously refined by the Heavenly Flame, wisps of even purer Spiritual Strength slowly rose from the vortex within Xiao Yan's body. Finally, they poured into the Soul Bead deep within his mind.
After breaking the Spiritual Barrier, the refinement of the Soul Gathering Fruit naturally became much easier. From now on, the refinement of the Soul Gathering Fruit would no longer face any difficulties.
At this moment, Xiao Yan only needed to have sufficient patience to use the remaining time to slowly refine it with the 'Heavenly Flame'. He was neither anxious nor impatient. He believed that it would not be long before the Spiritual Strength within the 'Soul Gathering Fruit' would be completely swallowed by him. At that time, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength would be able to undergo a breakthrough, allowing him to step into the level of a rank three alchemist!
