Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Ye Wuxi's hands trembled slightly, but he still quickly threw the Thousand-Leaf Ice Lotus in as instructed. If even this one lotus was slightly damaged, the Ice Spirit Pill would be ruined.

Fortunately, the old man had excellent control, and the medicinal power of the Thousand-Petaled Ice Lotus was being extracted normally. As its medicinal power was gradually neutralized, the temperature in the entire secret room dropped significantly.

Another day passed, and the old man continued, "Girl, release your soul and assist it in differentiation according to the method of the supreme medicine refining that I passed on to you."

Ye Wuxi closed her eyes slightly, her soul power bursting forth, carefully merging into the medicine cauldron, sensing the medicinal power of the Thousand-Leaf Ice Lotus that was about to be refined.

The moment their souls came into contact with that chilling medicinal power, they couldn't help but shrink back. Ye Wuxi endured the pain and used all her strength to envelop it with her soul.

Once he had fully adapted to the chill, Ye Wuxi continued to activate his soul, attempting to differentiate it...

After several unsuccessful attempts, and with the medicinal effects even showing signs of dissipating, Ye Wuxi began to panic slightly...

"Guard your mind!" Chi Huo shouted sharply, sensing the unease in the soul.

Ye Wuxi quickly suppressed her panic and poured all her soul power into the crumbling medicinal power...

As time passed, the icy blue medicinal power within the cauldron slowly split into two. In an instant, the old man's soul power took over control of it.

Sensing this change, Ye Wuxi immediately withdrew his soul power, though his spirit became somewhat weak.

"Don't stop, girl, take over both fire pits..."

Ye Wuxi mustered his strength and covered the two fire holes at the bottom of the furnace with both palms. His fire-attribute true energy was transformed into virtual fire, which burned fiercely inside the furnace.

Huo Yun looked up in surprise. The purity of this illusory fire was no worse than his. How strange!

Ye Wuxi felt his gaze and simply smiled. However, this was the first time she had seen Huo Yun make a move; the Fire Spirit Body, indeed, his fierce true essence was extraordinary.

Another day passed, and finally two blue-white pills floated out from above the medicine cauldron, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

After five days of continuous work, Ye Wuxi and Huo Yun could no longer hold on. As soon as they finished refining pills, they sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to regulate their breathing.

Only after the two had recovered did the old man with the Crimson Flame toss over the three jade bottles. "We have the pills, but whether you can refine the strange fire still depends on yourself!"

"Thank you, Master!" the two said, bowing slightly.

Huo Yun looked at the jade bottle that had appeared in his hand, his expression complicated, and he suddenly became serious. "Master, after today I will go out to train... to prepare..."

The old man with the crimson flames waved his hand, "Go on, everyone has their own path to walk, I'm too lazy to interfere..."

Huo Yun nodded, then turned his head and said, "Junior Sister, your strength and talent are both quite good. You should improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and perhaps you can catch up..."

Huo Yun suddenly stopped, not saying the rest of his words...

Ye Wuxi was somewhat confused, but Huo Yun laughed and said, "Anyway, I look forward to fighting you someday. I'll be going now..."

After Huo Yun left, the old man with the Crimson Flame continued, "Don't think I'm being biased by giving him the extra Heart-Burning Pills; you don't need them. Now that you have the Ice Spirit Pill, start refining it right away, lest you lose your life while I'm not around..."

Ye Wuxi's eyes brightened slightly. "Thank you, Master!" she said, and then sat down cross-legged again.

“Use this method to create a space above your cyclone,” the old man with the Crimson Fire said, tapping her forehead with his finger.

After receiving the additional cultivation tips from his sea of ​​consciousness, Ye Wuxi read them several times before starting to operate them and store the fire seed. This space was naturally opened above the fire attribute vortex.

Ye Wuxi guided a few strands of true energy according to the method, which continuously intertwined in the air vortex...

The secret chamber was completely silent. After two hours, a small black hole slowly appeared above Ye Wuxi's red vortex. Although it did not seem to be connected to the vortex, Ye Wuxi could feel faint fire-type true energy constantly flowing into the black hole.

"Master, it's done."

"So fast," the dozing old man said in surprise. "Let's take the Ice Spirit Pill now, and then take out the Vermilion Bird Flame."

Ye Wuxi suddenly chuckled awkwardly, "Um... um, the Vermilion Bird Flame is inside me."

"What?" The old man almost fell off his chair.

Ye Wuxi explained guiltily, "Well, I don't know how it happened, it just ran into my body on its own."

"Wow, you're the best..." Chi Huo sighed to the sky, but didn't delve into it further. "Take the Ice Spirit Pill."

Ye Wuxi did as instructed and put the pill into her mouth. The medicinal power flowed through her meridians and throughout her body, as if a layer of frost had covered her entire body.

"Find a spark deep within the flames, extract it from the fire, and guide it into the newly opened space."

Chi Huo's voice echoed in his mind, and Ye Wuxi looked toward the flames wrapped in vines.

"Little tree, let it go..."

The sapling swayed and retracted its vines. As soon as the Vermilion Bird Flame was freed from its confinement, it unleashed a burst of violent energy, threatening to incinerate everything.

Ye Wuxi groaned and hurriedly touched it to find the source of its fire. Although protected by the Ice Spirit Pill, his whole body was still being scorched by the raging fire.

“That’s it…” Enduring the scorching flames, Ye Wuxi spotted a white particle in the fire.

As the flames were continuously stripped away, the scattered fiery energy surged through his meridians. Ye Wuxi was drenched in sweat, but had no time to pay attention to the rampaging energy.

Instead, he focused his mind and guided the white seed into the black hole. The energy within his body became increasingly turbulent, and the frost power covering his meridians and heart meridians slowly dissipated.

Ye Wuxi gritted her teeth and quickened her pace. Time passed slowly, and finally a white seed appeared in the middle of the black hole. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the medicinal power of the Ice Spirit Pill had been completely exhausted.

As wisps of flames emanated from Ye Wuxi's body, Chi Huo realized something was wrong and quickly unleashed several bursts of Yuan Power, shouting, "Guard your dantian, guide the flames into the Qi vortex, and convert them into your own cultivation!"

With a sharp rebuke from Chi Huo, Ye Wuxi's mind cleared, and he began to circulate his cultivation technique, absorbing the power of the flames that were circulating around him.

After being transformed by the cultivation technique and the small tree, the surging energy was not directly poured into the fire-attribute dantian. Instead, it was divided into five elemental powers and evenly distributed into the five dantians.

Ye Wuxi's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the true qi vortexes in his five dantian continued to grow larger and more solid. Before long, he broke through the barrier of the fifth level of Xuanwu and broke through to the sixth level of Xuanwu, but he still did not stop.

His aura quickly rose to the peak of the sixth level of Xuanwu before finally subsiding, which startled Chi Huo.

Ye Wuxi opened her eyes with a happy expression, and was puzzled when she saw Chi Huo staring blankly. "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Chi Huo murmured, "This shouldn't be the case. Given the power of the Vermilion Bird Flame, it shouldn't be a problem for your cultivation to rise four or five levels. How come you only rose one level?"

He was just about to help the girl suppress her power, since such a rapid increase in cultivation would have a huge impact on her unstable foundation. He didn't expect that the girl's cultivation would stop at the sixth level.
