"Stinky stuff?"
Xiao Yan blinked, wiping his cheek and finding sticky black grime smeared across his skin. He looked down...his entire body was coated in a foul, oily layer.
"So it's just the impurities being expelled… Looks like my physique's been enhanced again.
Maybe even stronger than in my previous life," he murmured with a grin.
"Don't worry," he added, glancing at her. "I took a body-cleansing pill last night. These are just impurities. Go on ahead...I need to wash up."
Hearing that, Little Doctor Fairy finally exhaled in relief. She shot him a mock glare and muttered, "You scared me half to death! I thought you were gone!"
"Do I look like someone who dies easily?" Xiao Yan teased, smiling. "What's this? You're that worried about me now?
She rolled her eyes at him. "You're my friend. And if you die, I won't just lose a teacher...I'll also never cure my Calamity Poison Body."
With that, she huffed softly, cheeks slightly flushed, and walked out of the room.
Watching her retreating back, Xiao Yan chuckled. Stretching lazily, he froze mid-motion as realization dawned on him.
"Wait… I—I broke through to Dou Master?!"
Quickly channeling his soul power inward, he examined his body.
His meridians were now several times wider and sturdier, and even his flesh and bones gleamed faintly with light.
Beneath that glow, he could sense immense latent potential.
But the most shocking change was within his Qi Cyclone....pure energy liquid floated serenely inside, far denser than any ordinary Dou Master's.
Though only a one-star Dou Master, his energy reserves could rival those of a five-star expert.
What truly delighted him, however, was the tiny flame figure seated at the core of his cyclone.
"My Emperor Flame Seed… it's finally formed the prototype of the Flame God Manifestation."
A faint smile curved his lips.
This manifestation was the embryonic form of the Flame God True Body, a divine construct he had created after achieving dominion in his previous life.
The Flame God Art, his ultimate creation, far surpassed even the Burning Technique.
It allowed cultivators to condense an Emperor Flame Seed during the Dou Practitioner stage.
Within that seed was a wisp of his own soul power, making it essentially a second self.....an extension of his will.
That was why, during his slumber, the seed had awakened to protect his body.
As Xiao Yan's power grew, this seed would gradually evolve into a Flame God Manifestation, then a Flame God Incarnation, and eventually the Flame God True Body—a divine form that could crush worlds.
When that time came, he would once again stand among the apex beings of the Great Thousand World.
For now, however, the manifestation was still weak, useful mainly for stabilizing his body rather than enhancing combat.
After carefully checking his condition, Xiao Yan smiled contentedly and fetched several buckets of water.
He scrubbed himself clean, washing away the layer of black grime. When done, his figure stood tall, his skin pale as jade.
"As expected, every cleansing and marrow-washing makes the skin fairer," he muttered with a wry smile.
Pulling a set of black clothes from his ring, he dressed and stepped outside.
The sun hung high in the sky. Little Doctor Fairy wasn't hiding indoors; she was already tending the small garden, clearing weeds with a tiny hoe, her face glistening with sweat as she glanced toward his room from time to time.
When Xiao Yan stepped out, she froze.
"You… you've gotten so white! What pill did you take?" she gasped, rushing over, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Uh… the pill I took was one of a kind," Xiao Yan said awkwardly. "I can't make another right now."
Seeing her disappointment, he sighed inwardly. So even someone as calm as her can't resist the lure of beauty.
"Don't worry," he chuckled. "When I have time, I'll make you a Beautifying Pill or maybe a Jade Bone Pill instead."
At his teasing words, her fair face flushed slightly, and for a moment, she found herself staring at his now sharper, more handsome features.
"Little Doctor Fairy, what are you thinking? He's still just a boy!" she scolded herself silently, forcing her expression calm again.
"Forget those pills," she said softly, smiling. "Even if you could make them, I wouldn't dare take them. I'd rather just be a happy little pharmacist.
Now hurry up and teach me that Spirit Plant Technique you promised."
Xiao Yan's eyes softened as he watched her. "I hope this lifetime… you can always remain that happy little pharmacist."
With a flick of his finger, half the herbs he'd gathered from the cave flew out before her. Though valuable, they were perfect for teaching her the art of spirit cultivation.
"Follow my instructions," he said gently. "Plant them just like I show you."
