Chapter 103 Making a Decision
Just as Yao Chen was grieving, Xiao Feng's next words rekindled his confidence.
"I remember you have a strange fire in your hand, which seems to be the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, ranked eleventh on the Strange Fire Ranking. I also happen to have a strange fire in my hand, and another strange fire that is not in use. Together with the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in your hand, it just meets the requirements."
After he finished speaking, a purple flame emerged from his palm. Watching the flame rise and change shape in Xiao Feng's hand, Yao Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the Three Thousand Burning Flames!"
Upon hearing Yao Chen's voice, Xiao Feng couldn't help but look at him with new respect, praising, "It seems you do have some discerning eye. Indeed, this is the Three Thousand Burning Flames!"
"What do you think of my suggestion? It's up to you to choose." Xiao Feng said casually, toying with the strange fire in his hand.
To Xiao Feng's surprise, he did not expect Yao Chen to be so decisive.
He had originally thought that Yao Chen would struggle for a long time before making a decision, but now it seemed that he had underestimated Yao Chen.
"Yao Chen is willing to give the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to Senior!" Yao Chen said through gritted teeth.
In truth, Yao Chen knew very well that even if he was unwilling, it would be of no use. If Xiao Feng wanted it, he would eventually have to give up the Bone Spirit Cold Fire within him. Rather than waiting until things got ugly and Xiao Feng forcibly took it from him, it was better to be sensible now and give it up voluntarily.
After all, his situation is different now than before. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Moreover, his life and death are in the hands of Xiao Feng. Now that he is Xiao Feng's subordinate, being decisive might win Xiao Feng's favor and greatly benefit his future development. On the contrary, if he insists on disagreeing, he might be sidelined later.
Yao Chen's decisiveness surprised Xiao Feng somewhat, but he quickly understood Yao Chen's thoughts. In fact, just as Yao Chen had thought, he was determined to obtain the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and even if Yao Chen disagreed, he would forcibly take it.
However, Yao Chen was already his subordinate, and it wouldn't be right to forcibly seize him. If this matter spread within the Xiao clan, what would Xiao Hu and the others think? Moreover, now that they had such a good excuse, it was naturally even better. In this way, it would be a transaction no matter what, rather than him stealing it by trickery.
"Very good. Tomorrow I will take you away from here and prepare for your resurrection." Because of Yao Chen's reply, Xiao Feng immediately gave him a guarantee. It can be said that he hit him with a stick and then gave him a sweet date. Although this method is old-fashioned, it always works.
After receiving Xiao Feng's assurance, Yao Chen was satisfied. After chatting for a long time, he went back into his storage ring, looking forward to tomorrow.
The next day, Xiao Feng first went to Xiao Zhan's residence and explained that he was about to break through his cultivation level and was preparing to leave the Xiao family to find a place to break through his cultivation level. He would return soon.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Zhan was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He not only readily agreed but also tried to persuade Xiao Feng to stay, telling him that the Xiao family's courtyard was always ready for him.
This matter is of great importance, and Xiao Feng must go to the Xiao Clan's small world to make careful preparations. In the Xiao Clan, he can never fully unleash his power, nor can he guarantee the same level of safety as in the Xiao Clan's small world.
Another crucial reason is that Xiao Feng no longer wants to stay here. It's not that he dislikes the Xiao family or is fed up with this place, but rather that something is about to happen that will force him to leave.
It is known that Gu Yuan will send his only daughter to the Xiao family, and he will come in person. According to his memory, this matter seems to be happening soon.
If he were still in the Xiao family by then, he would naturally be unable to hide it from Gu Yuan's eyes, and then everything would be over! His identity would be exposed, everything he had done would be exposed, and all his preparations would be in vain.
Therefore, in order to avoid being discovered by Gu Yuan and to avoid Gu Yuan, he had to leave for a period of time.
He opened a spatial wormhole, stepped inside, and the wormhole quickly closed. It was hard to believe that a huge opening, two zhang high, had just appeared here. After traversing billions of miles of mountains and rivers, Xiao Feng soon arrived in the Xiao Clan's small world.
...
At the summit of the mountain, Xiao Feng sat cross-legged, quietly reading the "Burning Technique" in his hands, while Yao Chen's figure floated in mid-air beside him.
After arriving in the small world, Xiao Feng had already instructed his clansmen to begin collecting all the items needed for resurrection, but the collection would take some time, so Yao Chen could only wait quietly.
In order to better revive, Yao Chen's current soul strength was not enough, so not long after, Yao Chen followed Xiao Hu to the alchemy hall to receive pills to heal his soul.
Inside the secret chamber, looking at the "Burning Flame Technique" placed before him, Xiao Feng finally made his decision: he would switch his cultivation method and practice the "Burning Flame Technique" before him! (PS: Here, the author still chose to have the protagonist switch to the "Burning Flame Technique" because, as mentioned before, the protagonist's potential was exhausted. His talent could only support him until he broke through to the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm. Without a powerful external aid, he might never make any further progress in his life. The "Burning Flame Technique" evolves by devouring different flames, which can overcome the incompatible characteristics of different flames, allowing the protagonist to devour more different flames. In this way, the protagonist can increase his strength by devouring different flames.)
He had had this idea for a long time, but he hadn't made a decision until now. Now that the time for choice had come, he finally chose this path.
Although the "Burning Technique" was initially a low-level Yellow Rank cultivation method, with extremely slow cultivation and recovery speeds for Dou Qi, it was simply insufficient for Xiao Feng to use. However, Xiao Feng currently possessed four different flames! Moreover, he knew the locations of other different flames, making it not so difficult for him to find flames that were difficult for ordinary people to locate.
With these strange flames, the "Burning Technique" can evolve. Although it's impossible to evolve to the high-level Heaven Rank in one go, it's more than enough to evolve to the low-level Heaven Rank.
Xiao Feng knew that doing this would completely change Xiao Yan's fate. Without Yao Lao and the miraculous "Burning Technique," Xiao Yan would at most be a genius with good talent. Without all the opportunities, the Dou Zun realm might be the end of his life.
