Yi Xian's Breakthrough and Handsome Rewards
🕑 Added 2023-09-22 19:58:39 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 178 ---
Three hours later.
After an extensive yet not-too-long warm therapy and friendly education, the Three Thousand Burning Flame, or what Baek Ain called "Little Dragon." now has started calling him Master.
Ultimately, Little Dragon knew just how benevolent Baek Ain was.
Baek Ain made a spiritual pact with Little Dragon, obtaining its Flame and Unique Ability to absorb the power of the stars.
After a continuous absorption, Baek Ain would eventually attain the "Three Thousand Star Constitution." or what is widely known as the "Undying Body." by converting the power of the stars into Life Force.
Yes, with this ability, no one could kill him in this world theoretically.
His body is nearly immortal.
And His soul is permanently protected by Soul Protection.
The only problem is his spirit.
Although Baek Ain believed in his strong will, an existence like the Goddess of Opportunity could wipe him instantly.
He wasn't afraid of death by any means, but he has a big family now.
He couldn't bear to part from them.
'For this little guy, I might look powerful and mighty, but I'm just as helpless as sentient Heavenly Flame.' Baek Ain glanced at the Three Thousand Burning Flame, who had taken the form of a pocket-sized dragon on his right shoulder.
Baek Ain sighed and looked up at the sky.
One hundred reincarnations.
This method will definitely strengthen Baek Ain's Soul and Spirit to another level.
Baek Ain stepped out of the Star Region and saw a purple blur approaching him.
Quasi Ultra Instinct activated, allowing Baek Ain to dodge without thinking much.
Someone crashed onto the ground.
Baek Ain turned around and saw the stretched purple fabric by the fabulous peachy rear pointed at his face. He recognized this sight many times and smiled, hearing a small moan from the ground.
"Uugh, why did you dodge?" An annoyed yet charming voice brushed Baek Ain's ears.
Baek Ain watched Yi Xian roll around and protested at him.
He laughed her protest off and extended his hand, "Who told you to sneak around and pounce at me? You forgot my instinct is always sharp."
"Hmph." Yi Xian snorted, grabbing Baek Ain's arm.
Of course, she has to get even.
Yi Xian pulled Baek Ain down and made him fall on her chest. She locked his arms and hugged him tightly, rolling around on the ground several times.
Baek Ain's face darkened as he helplessly sighed.
After Yi Xian got her payback, she posed her hands on her hips and laughed victoriously.
Not far away, Xuan Yi's jaw dropped.
Is this really the demoness who poisoned her and the entire Pill Tower months ago?
Xuan Yi rubbed her eyes to confirm this sight, and Qing Lin decided to say some fun facts.
"Older Sister Xian only did this to Hubby."
"She is always cold to others, but to us, especially hubby, she'd banter and warm up."
"Well, hubby saved Older Sister Xian's life and gave her a chance to live normally, so it's understandable."
"Oops, did I say too much?" Qing Lin covered her mouth and giggled.
Xuan Yi looked at Baek Ain and Xian Yi, finding them quite a couple.
But then Xuan Yi shook her head because a weak person like her wouldn't understand the mindset of this couple.
One is a demoness with terrifying poison that could wipe an entire kingdom easily.
The other is a mysterious ruler with exceptional Alchemy Skills and a Cultivation base beyond common sense.
Xuan Yi pulled Baek Ain's cheeks and rubbed her chin, sending a familiar presence from him. "Why did you feel like that annoying fire dragon?"
Baek Ain chuckled, "You mean this."
Snapping his finger, Little Dragon appeared and landed on his right shoulder.
"Three Thousand Burning Flame?!"
"How could you end in this cute form?" Yi Xian picked Little Dragon up and swayed it around like a doll.
"..." Little Dragon's eyes twitched when it heard Yi Xian's comment.
The education Baek Ain implemented lingered in the Little Dragon's soul, making it shiver involuntarily.
So, faced with Yi Xian's question, it could only reply, "I decided to follow Master now, so my big body is inconvenient."
It was true, considering Little Dragon's previous form.
But Little Dragon also couldn't utter the matter of Baek Ain bullying it into this state. It might have become Baek Ain's slave or pet, yet it still wants to salvage some pride left.
Baek Ain noticed Little Dragon's last attempt to show pride and didn't push the matter too much. He already tamed it, after all.
Then, Baek Ain sensed Yi Xian's cultivation base. 'Yi Xian, she has reached the early stage of Half-Saint Realm? Wow....'
It was surprising because before parting from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, Yi Xian, and Yafei hadn't even reached the Dou Venerate Realm.
Lan Rou reached the peak of the Half-Saint Realm, which is understandable as she possessed the experience of her first life.
Yet, In just a few months, the possessor of the Heavenly Poison Body successfully caught up to the early stage of the Half-Saint Realm.
Maybe it has something to do with her Nether Poison Flame, a suitable catalyst for Yi Xian's growth.
Although the Nether Poison Realm isn't the best Heavenly Flame, it's still ranked 20th and has extreme poison. For Yi Xian, it's the best resource for her cultivation. And don't forget the Variant of Behemoth's bloodline is running in her vein.
Baek Ain shook his head and thought, 'At least Yi Xian now has a better path than the original.'
There is still a week before the barrier around the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree disappears, and Baek Ain could still gain more rewards from the Pill Towers.
"Where is Rou?" He finally asked Yi Xian upon noticing the lack of white-haired beauty around.
Yi Xian shrugged, "She entered a seclusion."
"It was right when I wanted to go out due to my successful breakthrough."
"What do you think?" She added while flaunting her cultivation base.
Baek Ain smiled and flicked Yi Xian's forehead, "Don't be too cocky just because you have successfully entered Half-Saint Realm. There are better people out there than you."
"Tsk." Yi Xian clicked her tongue in annoyance.
However, she quickly caught a chain attached to a jewel that appeared around her snowy neck. Her eyes lit up.
"I never said I'd not give you a present, though." Baek Ain added, rubbing Yi Xian's hair gently.
"Hmph, at least you are sensible..." Yi Xian let out a happy laugh.
"Let's have something to eat first. I haven't eaten anything for weeks."
Baek Ain nodded, "Okay."
