Chapter 143: Beginning Seclusion!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Eighth Summit, Empyrean Sword Sect, Spiritual energy filled the entire place.

In an area with extremely dense spiritual energy, two beautiful figures walked side by side.

Two beautiful figures, one in a blue dress and the other in a white dress, their facial features were incomparable. They were truly beautiful.

As the two of them walked along the road, anyone who passed by could not help but take a second look at them.

These two people were naturally Wan Qingqing and Liu Nanzhi.

Wan Qingqing took the initiative to send Liu Nanzhi to her residence. Along the way, the two of them chatted.

Liu Nanzhi blinked and looked ahead. She slowly said, “What I remember most clearly is that when I walked out of the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm, I was attacked by an elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”

“At that time, the scene was very chaotic. Moreover, the elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect used a killing move and almost killed Shen Ran. Thinking about it now, it feels terrifying.”

Although it was already in the past, Liu Nanzhi’s words were still filled with worry.

Wan Qingqing naturally understood what she was saying.

Moreover, along the way, no matter how they chatted, Liu Nanzhi’s conversation was inevitably linked to Shen Ran.

This also made Wan Qingqing sense that Liu Nanzhi clearly had exceptional feelings for Shen Ran.

Sensing this, Wan Qingqing couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

Then she said to Liu Nanzhi, “Sister, what do you think of Shen Ran?”

When Wan Qingqing said this, she looked at Liu Nanzhi, clearly wanting to see her expression when she answered.

Wan Qingqing saw a smile on Liu Nanzhi’s face. It was a slightly sweet smile, not an ordinary smile.

Seeing this, Wan Qingqing became even more determined.

Liu Nanzhi smiled and said, “Shen Ran is quite good. Not to mention his cultivation talent, just his personality and way of doing things are very good.”

As Liu Nanzhi spoke, she also glanced at Wan Qingqing.

She had lived in the palace since she was young, so how could she not understand what Wan Qingqing meant by asking this question? After some thought, she told her everything that had happened in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm.

However, she hid the matter of the Cold Pool Flood Dragon.

After all, it was not easy to say that.

Meanwhile, Wan Qingqing listened to Liu Nanzhi describe everything that happened when she was with Shen Ran.

At this moment, Wan Qingqing felt a little regretful. She wished she could swap places with Liu Nanzhi, although she had heard from Liu Nanzhi that the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm was extremely dangerous.

However, she was actually a little envious that Liu Nanzhi was able to experience this with Shen Ran.

After learning everything that had happened in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm from Liu Nanzhi, the two of them arrived at Liu Nanzhi’s residence.

This was a courtyard wrapped in orchids. As soon as she arrived, she could smell the dense fragrance of flowers.

Moreover, there was a waterfall in front of the courtyard. The sound of water kept echoing. Coupled with the orchids surrounding it, this place looked like a paradise.

Seeing the courtyard in front of them, Liu Nanzhi and Wan Qingqing nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Wan Qingqing said, “Sister, this is your residence. Since you’re here, I should go back.”

Liu Nanzhi nodded. “Thank you, Sister.”

As Liu Nanzhi finished speaking, Wan Qingqing glanced at her with a faint smile and turned to leave.

When she left, she clenched her fists under her light blue dress and a look of determination flashed across her eyes.

Especially after hearing what happened in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm from Liu Nanzhi, Wan Qingqing was even more eager to increase her cultivation.

She had to break through to the Illumination Realm as soon as possible. Only by improving herself as soon as possible would she have a chance to go out with Shen Ran in the future.

At the same time, her cultivation would not be at a disadvantage the next time she saw Liu Nanzhi.

On the other side, looking at Wan Qingqing’s departing figure, Liu Nanzhi was not in a hurry to return to the courtyard.

At this moment, Liu Nanzhi stood on the spot, her beautiful face flushed.

Liu Nanzhi thought of the Cold Pool Flood Dragon, especially when she thought of that scene. It gave Liu Nanzhi an indescribable feeling.

In the end, she could only sigh inwardly.

Then she took a deep look at Wan Qingqing’s back in the distance and turned to enter the courtyard.

This was because Liu Nanzhi could sense that Wan Qingqing was clearly slightly hostile to her.

She naturally understood why.

However, she was quite helpless about this. Did she have to explain this?

…

At this moment, at Shen Ran’s residence, Shen Ran had already entered the secret room.

He first opened Xu Qingshan’s storage ring to take a look.

As an elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, there must be many treasures in his storage ring.

As expected, the moment he opened the storage ring, he saw many treasures.

There were all kinds of elixirs, spiritual herbs, and cultivation techniques.

However, Shen Ran’s gaze was on the elixirs.

This was also the reason why he was going into seclusion this time.

Firstly, he wanted to completely refine the Heavenly Fire, and secondly, he wanted to use these seized elixirs to break through his cultivation.

He simply counted those elixirs and put away the things that were temporarily useless.

Shen Ran’s gaze landed on a level-four elixir.

This was a fiery red elixir. An extremely rich aura kept circulating inside. Moreover, this was an aura wrapped in the elixir. There must be an even richer aura inside the elixir.

Moreover, other than the rich aura, there was also a scorching feeling, as if this was an elixir that had just been refined. It was incomparably hot.

In just a moment, the temperature of the entire secret room was rising rapidly.

As expected of a level-four Crimson Fire Pill. The temperature emitted is indeed terrifying.

Shen Ran looked at the Crimson Fire Pill in front of him, his eyes flickering with joy.

Without hesitation, he consumed it.

As soon as the Crimson Fire Pill entered his mouth, the heat instantly spread throughout his body.

When he swallowed it, he felt his body become hot, and even his veins became hot.

Sensing this, Shen Ran hurriedly activated the Dharmic powers in his body and the Fire Phoenix True Flame.

At this moment, the pill and the Fire Phoenix True Flame began to circulate rapidly in his body at the same time. The heat became even stronger and more terrifying.

With the help of the Crimson Fire Pill, Shen Ran began to refine the Heavenly Flame.

The refinement process was clearly a long process.

When Shen Ran was refining it, wisps of flames were already burning all over his body.

However, although these flames looked terrifying, they could not cause any damage to Shen Ran. On the other hand, they were decreasing bit by bit, as if Shen Ran had absorbed them into his body.

Although the process of refining the Heavenly Flame was a little painful, it was still bearable.

The process went on and Shen Ran refined it for a long time. After a long period of time, the flames that wrapped around Shen Ran’s body had completely disappeared.

Shen Ran opened his eyes at this moment.

“Buzz!”

In an instant, he opened his eyes and a bright light shot out, causing the void to tremble. Moreover, a flame flashed across Shen Ran’s eyes.

Shen Ran sensed the changes in his body again and subconsciously smiled.

“That went well.”

Although the successful refinement of the Heavenly Flame did not cause a breakthrough in his cultivation, the change in his body was extremely huge.

The refinement of the Heavenly Flame also nourished his body and made his Dharmic powers much purer.

Shen Ran was guessing that if he met Gu Shujue again, defeating him would be very smooth.

After roughly sensing the changes in his body, Shen Ran turned his attention to the remaining elixirs.
