Chapter 835: Southern Bright Lihuo
Heaven-Shaker · 第835章 南明离火
Southern Bright Lihuo. Hearing this divine flame, Yang Tian's mind wavered; he felt this flame was no weakling.
"Oh, it's actually Southern Bright Lihuo." A flicker of surprise crossed Yang Xiao's eyes, then he said joyfully, "This is a divine flame that specifically restrains evil spirits. If fused into the Three-Flavor Divine Fire, its power will surge dramatically!"
Hearing this, joy also flickered in Yang Tian's eyes. It seemed this harvest had exceeded his expectations; just this one divine material was already formidable.
His Three-Flavor Divine Fire had been evolving ever since he obtained it in the Fire Domain. If he absorbed this divine material, it would likely evolve even further.
At this moment, before Yang Tian lay a large pile of bloodstones, high-grade bloodstones stacked together, distorting the void—a testament to their formidable blood energy.
"Tsk, a full seventy thousand!" Joy flickered in his eyes as Yang Tian marveled. This was a huge fortune in bloodstones, enough to make even major sects envious.
The Heaven-Mending Cauldron appeared in Yang Tian's palm. Golden clouds seethed at its mouth, and the aura of merit was peaceful, radiating awe-inspiring power.
Yang Tian's gaze fell on the bloodstones below. He said calmly, "Eat up. This should be enough to feed you. I never had bloodstones to feed the Heaven-Mending Cauldron before."
The Heaven-Mending Cauldron could devour artifacts, so naturally it could devour bloodstones. But it required a vast quantity. These seventy thousand high-grade bloodstones were already an astonishing amount.
With a rumble, bloodstones streamed into the cauldron. The Heaven-Mending Cauldron became like a furnace, its mouth blazing fiercely, emitting dazzling blood energy that rose in wisps.
The Heaven-Mending Cauldron devoured rapidly. Myriad strands of divine light shimmered on its walls, and ancient scriptures manifested, as if on the verge of transformation.
"I wonder when this cauldron will ascend to the divine object level?" Yang Tian murmured. He had forged this cauldron himself; if it became a divine object, its power would be terrifying.
"It shouldn't be far off. This cauldron has merit; there's almost no threshold for divine objects. As long as its foundation is sufficient, it'll be fine." Yan Long chuckled. For other artifacts, advancement was extremely difficult, but not for the Heaven-Mending Cauldron, which possessed abundant merit.
Yuan Xia smiled gracefully. With a delicate finger, she pointed, and a large pile of bloodstones appeared on the ground.
"Uh..." Looking at over thirty thousand high-grade bloodstones, Yang Tian scratched his head. He had almost forgotten there was a wealthy woman by his side.
Seeing the approaching woman, Yan Long tactfully vanished. Yang Xiao chuckled, picked out a soul-nourishing pill from a pile of pills, and went into seclusion.
"Will this do?" Yuan Xia's palm produced a top-grade bloodstone as she asked softly.
Yang Tian shook his head. "Better use this for cultivation. The Heaven-Mending Cauldron can devour artifacts; it's too wasteful to use a top-grade bloodstone. These are hard to come by."
"It's such a glutton." In just ten breaths, the bloodstones on the ground were gone. The Heaven-Mending Cauldron emitted a cheerful thought, looking like it wanted more. Yuan Xia pouted.
"Eh?" At that moment, Yang Tian's gaze fell on a pitch-black stone, and his eyelids twitched.
"Could this be a divine stone?" Shock arose in Yang Tian's heart. This thing was extremely rare; he had only obtained one before.
The pitch-black stone was about half the size of a washbasin, covered in ancient patterns, looking extraordinary.
"It seems so. Why don't you crack it open and see?" Yuan Xia's beautiful eyes were also drawn to it. She said softly. If it was a divine stone, this piece was not small—priceless.
Yang Tian nodded. Before he could act, a pair of fair jade hands pressed directly onto it. Force emanated from the palms, and the outer rock cracked.
Seeing this, Yang Tian couldn't help but purse his lips. But when he noticed the scorching blood energy flowing inside, his eyes lit up.
"It's a divine stone!" Joy surged in Yuan Xia's heart. She couldn't help grabbing Yang Tian's hand and exclaimed happily.
"Indeed, it really is a divine stone. This harvest is tremendous." Yang Tian was also overjoyed. This thing was hard to come by.
"Buzz buzz" The Heaven-Mending Cauldron vibrated like a child, sending out excited spiritual thoughts. Its entire body circled around the divine stone, looking eager to devour it.
"Uh..." Looking at the eager Heaven-Mending Cauldron, Yang Tian was dumbfounded. This thing had learned to act spoiled.
Yuan Xia's full red lips parted. "Better let Heaven-Mending eat it. Look how happy it is. This might be very beneficial for it."
Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded and didn't stop it. He gave the go-ahead to eat.
The Heaven-Mending Cauldron directly absorbed the divine stone. Devouring force erupted inside, divine light flashed, and crackling sounds came from within, like Xiao Bai sneaking a top-grade bloodstone.
After a brief disturbance, the cauldron's body became terrifying. Divine energy surged as if injected with stimulant, and a terrifying divine power flashed and vanished.
"This..." Sensing this change, Yang Tian's eyes were uncertain. The divine power just now was extremely formidable, but it only flashed and didn't fully manifest.
"I think it needs a large number of divine stones to advance to the divine object level. The aura it just emitted already had the power of a divine object; it's probably lacking energy."
Yuan Xia's words made the Heaven-Mending Cauldron buzz in strong agreement.
Hearing this, Yang Tian pursed his lips. This wasn't an ordinary item; you couldn't even buy it. Even top-grade bloodstones were uncommon, let alone divine stones.
Clang clang clang! Sounds came from the cauldron's mouth, as if the Heaven-Mending Cauldron was protesting not being fed.
"Glutton." Yang Tian shook his head. He had only obtained a little of this stuff; where could he find such precious divine stones?
"Giggle..." Yuan Xia was all smiles. The cauldron's intelligence was so high, and it hadn't been long since it was forged.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Tian moved the Heaven-Mending Cauldron beside the Enlightenment Divine Flower. The Dao rhythm there was astonishing, helping it rapidly develop intelligence.
At this moment, his gaze fell on Yuan Xia's face. A surge of heat rose in Yang Tian's heart. He directly grabbed her jade hand and pulled her into his embrace.
"Ah... what are you doing..." Startled by the sudden move, Yuan Xia's face flushed crimson as she protested coquettishly.
"Nothing much." Yang Tian lied through his teeth, but his hands were far from honest. They slid along her slender waist and began to roam over her body.
A tingling sensation swept over her. Yuan Xia's body went limp, collapsing in Yang Tian's arms, her breathing becoming rapid.
Burning with passion, Yang Tian's hand climbed to Yuan Xia's proud chest. He gently kneaded, and a soft moan escaped her lips.
Yuan Xia grew hot all over, her entire body burning. Her usually aloof face became like a fiery rose, as if a volcano were erupting.
The two appeared in a house that Yang Tian had set up. Though small, it was exquisitely decorated.
A fair, naked body appeared on the bed. Yuan Xia resisted slightly, then whispered shyly, "If we keep doing this, will I have a child?"
Hearing this, Yang Tian was stunned. He had never thought about that. Yuan Xia's sudden question caught him off guard.
"It must be Mother who taught her." Yang Tian muttered inwardly. Xinyu must have been guiding her on this topic.
The former Yuan Xia had been an exalted saintess, peerless and proud, looking down on the ages. When would she ever have imagined a man possessing her, let alone becoming a mother?
"Wouldn't having a child be nice?" Yang Tian grinned, his hands roving unbridled over her burning body.
Hearing Yang Tian's answer, Yuan Xia blushed deeply and murmured, barely audible, "But we're not married yet..."
Hearing this, Yang Tian was momentarily dazed. He couldn't help recalling that night at the Thundercloud Sect, when that girl had told him she wanted a proper wedding. But before he could do it, things had turned out this way...
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Tian had actually spaced out during such an important topic. Yuan Xia pouted her red lips in dissatisfaction.
"Nothing. When Yun'er wakes up, we'll do it together." Yang Tian said boldly. In the moment Yuan Xia was distracted, he pounced on her like a hungry wolf...
Wedding night, bridal chamber candles, what can be done, alas, alas...
