In the canyon, the bone-white flames churned violently.
With her Spirit Realm Great Perfection Soul Power, Xiao Xue could control a wisp of Bone Chilling Flame, and could even transform the Heavenly Flame into a sword.
But this did not mean she could control the Origin Fire Seed of the Bone Chilling Flame as easily as moving her own arm.
Upon sensing the interference from the outside world, the Origin Fire Seed of the Bone Chilling Flame immediately erupted into a riot.
As the clusters of flames flared up, the space surrounding the fire clearly showed slight traces of distortion.
The power of this Origin Fire Seed was enough to cause space itself to distort.
If we were to talk about strength alone, this Origin Fire Seed would not be inferior to the snake-shaped Fallen Heart Flame that Xiao Yan had captured at Jia Nan Academy.
In the original story, that Fallen Heart Flame fire-snake which had turned the Inner Academy upside down had roughly the combat power of a High-Tier Dou Zong.
Xiao Xue estimated that if this Origin Fire Seed possessed intelligence, it should be comparable to a Peak Dou Zong.
And if the Heavenly Flames ranked in the top ten were in their prime, their combat power would be at the Dou Zun level or even higher.
However, the Bone Chilling Flame currently did not possess intelligence.
Therefore, the difficulty of refining it was relatively much lower.
If the Bone Chilling Flame had possessed intelligence, given Xiao Xue's current strength, she would definitely not have been able to take it down.
However, since in the original story Xiao Yan was able to capture the Fallen Heart Flame with the strength of a Dou Ling, soaring directly from a low-tier Dou Ling to a Peak Dou Wang,
then, as a fellow Dou Ling who was superior to Xiao Yan in terms of Rank, Soul Power, support, and many other aspects, there was no reason she couldn't do it.
If the Opportunity is insufficient, make up for it with strength.
Furthermore, don't let the current powerful might of the Bone Chilling Flame's Origin Fire Seed fool you;
once it is refined, the amount of power it can unleash will be entirely linked to Xiao Xue's own strength.
Just like in the original story, after Xiao Yan refined the Fallen Heart Flame, his strength wasn't necessarily as great as the original fire-snake Fallen Heart Flame.
This is just like playing a game where you clearly defeated a boss-level Vicious Beast White Tiger.
But after you complete the quest and tame the boss as a pet, its combat power is only comparable to Hello Kitty.
It will still take a long time to fully unleash the power of the Heavenly Flame.
Actually, for Xiao Xue, it would be safer to start with the sixteenth-ranked Fire Cloud Water Flame, then the fifteenth-ranked Sea Heart Flame, and finally the Bone Chilling Flame.
After all, the Bone Chilling Flame has a high ranking and possesses both ice and fire attributes.
Compared to the fifteenth and sixteenth-ranked Sea Heart Flame and Fire Cloud Water Flame, which are also water and fire attribute, its difficulty and danger are much greater.
But Xiao Xue did not want to wait anymore.
By the time she intercepted the Sea Heart Flame from Han Feng and went to some unknown place on the continent to find the Fire Cloud Water Flame, who knows how much time would have passed.
After all, she didn't know if Han Feng had already obtained the Sea Heart Flame, and searching the entire continent for Heavenly Flames wasn't worth it.
Without the assistance of a Heavenly Flame, her alchemy would fall into a Bottleneck period and stagnate for a long time.
Many of her other plans would also be affected.
Therefore, today, this Young Miss must swallow this Bone Chilling Flame!
As the Bone Chilling Flame began to grow increasingly violent, Ah Li was the first to notice.
Her robust Soul Power spread out rapidly, completely enveloping both Xiao Xue and the Bone Chilling Flame.
In mid-air, the bone-white flames swelled against the wind, expanding their volume several times over in the blink of an eye.
And as its volume changed, the originally docile flames became even more violent.
The Origin Fire Seed of the Bone Chilling Flame was subconsciously resisting Xiao Xue.
Whenever that formless suction force came into contact with the fire seed, it could only last for an instant before being burned into nothingness by it.
Discovering that she could not catch this Origin Fire Seed with just the "Suction Palm," Xiao Xue gritted her teeth and thrust her hand directly into the white skull.
As she gradually reached into the Bone Chilling Flame, the layer of cyan energy crystal covering Xiao Xue's arm began to melt rapidly.
Droplets of cyan liquid continuously dripped down.
And every time these droplets left her arm, they were swiftly burned into nothingness by the bone-white flames.
Although the cyan crystal layer melted extremely quickly, as it melted, the medicinal power of the green lotus pill within Xiao Xue's body released a continuous stream of cold energy again.
This energy traversed her Meridians and finally quickly repaired the melted crystal layer on her arm.
Amidst this cycle of constant melting and repairing, Xiao Xue's arm finally reached completely into the Heavenly Flame.
When Xiao Xue attempted to pull out the Origin Fire Seed, the rocky ground around her had already been burned into a huge hole.
The surrounding ice and snow had long since been sublimated by the uncontrollable high temperature, revealing the black rocks beneath.
And this was still the result of Ah Li's efforts to protect her.
If Ah Li were to withdraw her Soul Power protection now, the entire canyon would likely be burned into a pile of ash in a very short time.
Medusa watched from the side, terrified, "What is this little one doing?"
"Is she... refining a Heavenly Flame?"
"How can one person refine two Heavenly Flames at the same time? Does she not want her life anymore?"
In Medusa's impression, Xiao Xue should have already refined the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire and controlled it with great proficiency.
And now, she was actually planning to refine a second Heavenly Flame?
This was simply... unheard of!
However, thinking about how Xiao Xue, who has a Water Attribute, was actually able to refine the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire...
it didn't seem so strange to add another Heavenly Flame...?
Medusa stood by, stunned and shocked, acting as a Protector for Xiao Xue, while at this moment, Xiao Xue had grabbed the future in an instant.
A piece of something resembling a bone spur was grasped in Xiao Xue's hand; it was none other than the Origin Fire Seed of the Bone Chilling Flame.
When Xiao Xue grabbed the Origin Fire Seed, the bone-white flames churned violently.
The energy of heaven and earth contained in the surrounding space also seemed to riot at this moment.
Mottled energy of various colors flowed slowly, like a five-colored river, extremely dazzling.
Following the sudden riot of the Bone Chilling Flame, the temperature, which already seemed terrifying, immediately surged again.
The high temperature became higher, and the low temperature became even colder.
Although the cyan crystal layer on her body surface helped Xiao Xue block most of the Heavenly Flame's temperature,
even so, there was still some residual heat slowly seeping in.
This experience of being in both ice and fire was quite intense.
Grasping the fire seed tightly with her palm, Xiao Xue gritted her teeth, enduring the sensation coming from her palm, and slowly withdrew her arm from the Heavenly Flame.
As the fire seed was pulled out, the huge white skull in front of her immediately began to shrink.
A moment later, it turned into a tiny wisp of bone-white flame and burrowed into the white bone spur in Xiao Xue's palm.
This scene left Xiao Xue slightly speechless.
Once this Heavenly Flame had its fire seed grasped, it immediately wilted.
However, Xiao Xue dared not ignore the energy contained within the white bone spur in her palm.
Due to the terrifying high temperature contained within the bone spur, the thick cyan crystal layer was melting at a speed that made one's heart tremble.
If the energy in the bone spur were to fully erupt, even a Peak Dou Zong powerhouse would have no choice but to perish.
Xiao Xue held the bone spur in her right hand, activated the "Suction Palm" with her left, and sucked the ice spirit cold marrow from the side into her palm.
Then, she slammed the bone spur and the ice spirit cold marrow together.
Under the effect of the ice spirit cold marrow, the activity of the bone spur dropped significantly almost instantly.
Of course, even the ice spirit cold marrow could only suppress the Bone Chilling Flame for a short term.
What she needed to do was to completely refine it during this period while the Bone Chilling Flame was weak.
Then, Xiao Xue closed her eyes and swallowed the ice spirit cold marrow and the bone spur whole!
