Hearing the familiar theory, Xiao Jian felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Meanwhile, mysterious black-and-white patterns appeared on the scroll.
A subtle aura enveloped him, calming the flame inside and reducing its heat.
Scanning the new content, Xiao Jian was stunned. "Can it really be done this way?"
Perhaps… it really could.
Focusing, Xiao Jian used soul perception and Dou Qi to control the chaotic flame, directing it into his Ren and Du meridians.
These two meridians, one Yin and one Yang, perfectly matched the flame's properties.
Using this, he temporarily separated the flame: Yang flame into Yang meridian, Yin flame into Yin meridian.
But lone Yin or Yang cannot last.
After a while, the flames would weaken or dissipate without merging.
So, when directed to the lower Dantian, they would converge.
At the moment of fusion, their energy could be absorbed, successfully taming the flame!
Time passed quietly in cultivation.
While Xiao Jian focused on devouring the exotic flame, the mercenaries of the Wolf-Head Corps, stationed on the cliff, began to grow uneasy.
Mu Li and the others had been missing for some time, so they sent someone to check.
What they saw left them pale with terror.
The Wolf-Head Corps, thirty-one men in total, had lost twenty-one of their number who went down into the cave. Only the ten who stayed behind survived.
But the cave itself was empty—no one was inside, and no one had climbed the cliff.
The path to the inner mountain chamber had automatically resealed itself after Xiao Jian and Little Doctor Fairy descended.
With no evidence of what had happened, the mercenaries reported back to the Corps leader, Mu She.
"Bang!"
The next morning, staring at the twenty-one corpses brought back by his men, Mu She slammed his hand on the table.
"Who—who killed my Li'er?!"
Clutching his chest in grief, he roared in anger.
"Sir, it seems he went to block a young Dou Zhe named Xiao Jian and Little Doctor Fairy. It's likely they were the ones who did it."
A mercenary stepped forward to explain.
"What exactly happened?"
Mu She's face darkened.
"We were on a protection mission for Wan Yao Zhai in the Beast Mountains. Xiao Jian and Little Doctor Fairy left the team for a while during rest.
Later, you sent people to investigate, probably discovering that cave.
"At night, we were attacked by Gale Wolves. You led us out to break through and rushed to the cave to stop Xiao Jian and Little Doctor Fairy.
But when we investigated, everyone...my men and you...
were already dead!"
The mercenary's voice trembled.
"Who is this Xiao Jian?"
Mu She gritted his teeth.
"All we know is he looks sixteen or seventeen, handsome, and might be a two-star Dou Zhe…"
The mercenary's confidence faltered at the end.
"Nonsense! A two-star Dou Zhe could never kill twenty-one four-star Dou Zhe alone!"
Mu She slapped the mercenary across the room, shouting.
"Find that cave! I want to see it myself!"
He stormed out.
Just then, a figure with a strong aura burst through the gates of the Wolf-Head Corps' base.
"Mu She! What do you mean, Wolf-Head Corps? You accepted money from Wan Yao Zhai but withdrew halfway, causing heavy losses to my herb-gathering team! Little Doctor Fairy is missing! You owe me an explanation!"
The middle-aged man shouted, furious.
Mu She's face darkened.
"I haven't dealt with you yet, and you come here first? Little Doctor Fairy colluded with a powerful fighter and killed my son Mu Li and twenty of my men. I want an explanation from you!"
Yao's expression softened slightly, seeing Mu She's dead son and the corpses around the courtyard.
"Colluding with a strong fighter? Little Doctor Fairy—what strong fighter?"
Mu She snorted.
"Doesn't matter. I'm going to the scene. Follow me or step aside."
His order was cold, commanding the Wolf-Head Corps to enter the mountains.
Yao squinted but chose not to follow. He didn't want to risk being killed in the mountains.
In the city, Mu She also hesitated to act recklessly, not wanting to provoke other mercenary groups.
"Then I'll leave this to you, Mu Leader. I await your results!"
With Xiao Jian's Dou Shi-level aura leading the way, the expedition into the mountains went smoothly. Ordinary first-rank beasts dared not approach.
Soon, they reached the cave.
