Chapter 494: Chapter 486 Ice and Fire Together_1

Humans, upon discovering a supreme rare bird like the Fire Phoenix, would certainly not preach about martial morality to it. They would immediately think of ways to capture it and claim it as their own.

Not to mention the Fire Phoenix, almost all demonic beasts and birds meet this fate.

Once they awaken their intelligence, they hide in the depths of great mountains rarely trodden by humans, or in some dangerous places, to prevent being discovered by mankind.

“Once I become powerful, I will naturally seek out opportunities for you to enhance the power of your flames. After all, it isn’t possible to cultivate in this small village for a lifetime; both you and I should experience the wonders of the outside world. Cultivation, cultivation, one can only climb new peaks in practice by traveling the whole world.”

Qin Niu stroked its neck.

The phoenix feathers were not as soft as one might imagine, but rather rough.

“Come with me into the cave!”

He led the Fire Phoenix into the cavern, heading straight to the deepest part where the Fire Lotus was located.

“Go and fetch the Fire Lotus for me!”

Perhaps it was the future blueprint that Qin Niu had just described that excited the Fire Phoenix and made it yearn for it. At this moment, it followed Qin Niu’s commands without any objection.

It flew straight into the center of the magma and carried the Fire Lotus back.

Qin Niu reached out and grabbed the Fire Lotus directly, and the scorching lava did not harm him at all.

Having assimilated the Ice Lotus, he had already gained a strong resistance to flames.

However, he still did not dare to jump into the lava.

After all, the Ice Lotus was not very powerful right now. If it could not withstand the burning heat of the lava, it would be extremely dangerous.

He sat down cross-legged, then circulated the Medicine King Sutra, and the Alchemy Stove once again flew out from within his body.

Then, he swallowed the Fire Lotus into it, refining it bit by bit.

The Fire Phoenix looked on impatiently because it also needed the Fire Lotus to cultivate.

Only by continuously absorbing the fiery essence within the Fire Lotus could it rapidly enhance its cultivation level.

Now that the only Fire Lotus was being assimilated by Qin Niu, the Fire Phoenix’s cultivation aid would greatly diminish in the future.

Despite its urgency, the Fire Phoenix dared not interrupt Qin Niu, nor did it attempt to stop him.

About half an hour later, Qin Niu successfully refined the entire Fire Lotus, and inside the Alchemy Stove, it rotated endlessly along with the Ice Lotus, one white and one red, like the Yin and Yang fish in the Tai Chi pattern.

Just as he finished refining the Fire Lotus, his power of the Medicine King Sutra surged once again.

All of the abundant flame energy and fiery essence within the Fire Lotus were transformed into the power of his Medicine King Sutra.

Even more wondrous was the fact that the flame energy of the Fire Lotus and the icy aura of the Ice Lotus seemed to form a subtle balance.

His power of the Medicine King Sutra advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through from the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm to the Later Stage of the Innate Realm. Moreover, it continued to rise at an extremely fast speed.

This was a stroke of fortune beyond his wildest dreams.

Given the current pace, the Medicine King Sutra was very likely to be the first to advance to the Spirit Qi Realm.

“Absorb!”

With a thought, the fire poison within his left arm was absorbed bit by bit by the Fire Lotus.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the fire poison in his body was completely absorbed.

Now, he became one who could control flames as well.

At least, when facing attacks of fire, he had a strong ability to resist.

“Fire Phoenix, don’t just stand there, take me back!”

Qin Niu jumped onto its back.

“You need to look further into the future. Although this Fire Lotus was refined by me, I will definitely find you even better treasures for cultivation in the future. By then, your cultivation level will increase much faster than it is now.”

After Qin Niu reassured the Fire Phoenix, it seemed to accept this reality.

However, with the Fire Lotus gone to absorb the geothermal energy, the cavern might erupt into a volcano next time.

This was something Qin Niu was powerless to prevent.

In front of the formidable force of nature, not just he, but even an Immortal Master would have to retreat three feet away.

…

By the time he returned to his backyard at home, less than two hours had passed.

With the Fire Phoenix flying him, he had saved a lot of time.

Qin Niu eagerly anticipated the day when he could ride the Fire Phoenix openly and fly around the world.
