The next morning, as soon as the four of them left the sect, they met Yun Dandan who had returned. They looked her up and down several times before smiling.

"Junior Sister, you've been out for quite a while this time. Did you encounter any danger?"

"Don't worry, Third Brother. I didn't come back because I met Master, but we separated in Luoxue City."

Yue Yang nodded, "That's good. It's safe with Master here. Let's go back to Ziyun Peak."

.......

Ziyun Peak.

"Master, now that you have the strange fire, you can refine pills and weapons. You can also use the strange fire to temper your body and make your spiritual power purer. This way, you can fight against enemies of higher levels."

Jiji hovered above the cave, swaying leisurely in circles, and continued, "By then, I'm afraid anyone in the same realm will be invincible."

"Invincible?"

Yun Dandan's eyes lit up, "I'm now at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and all I have left is the Foundation Establishment stage."

"No, Master, you can temper your body and spiritual power. Your cultivation level may decline at that time, but it will lay the foundation for building your foundation and fighting against higher levels."

"You're still going to regress your cultivation? Is concentration the essence?"

"That's right, but if someone of the same level fights you, they're just asking for trouble. They're not strong enough to fight you, Master."

"That's great. I'll temper it right away. Do you have any books on this subject? Otherwise, I don't know how to temper it."

"Well, well, I don't have any. Why don't you ask Brother Chang Geng?"

"Brother? When did you recognize him?"

Jiji smiled and said embarrassedly: "Brother Chang Geng is a great spirit, much higher than me, so of course he is the eldest brother." As time goes by and our relationship deepens, he will definitely not plan to eat me. I am really smart.

"Okay."

Yun Dandan closed her eyes, contacted Chang Geng, and said, "Do you have any books on how to temper the body and spiritual power with strange fire?"

"have."

Chang Geng said calmly, "Connect your spiritual consciousness to the secret realm and take it yourself."

"oh."

After a moment, a blue-white strange fire wrapped around her body. Soon, she could hear a muffled groan and the sound of teeth grinding, and her body was trembling slightly.

A flash of light passed, and Chang Geng appeared in the cave, his eyes gleaming. "Hold your mind tightly, focus your consciousness, and keep your spirit clear. Don't let all your efforts go to waste, or else your tendons and veins will be severed, or even your spiritual roots will be destroyed. You will either be disabled or die."

Yun Dandan's body trembled when she heard this, and she immediately woke up. She gritted her teeth and persevered. The result she wanted had not yet appeared. How could she let herself become a useless person, and how could she die?

"As long as you persevere the first time, the pain will be less next time, and it will be less each time thereafter, until there is no pain at all. That means you have successfully tempered your body. Persevere."

Will the pain get less and less? Go for it!

Time passed little by little, until the sun set in the west, and the black shadow that had been sitting cross-legged finally relaxed his body and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Jiji immediately took her into the secret hot spring and used the hot spring water to wash away the dirt on her body.

"Master, rest assured and leave the rest to me."

Yun Dandan hummed slightly, and fell into a deep sleep. In her drowsy state, she fell into a place.

The light fragrance of the flowers made people feel full of energy instantly. The fatigue slowly dissipated with the pleasant fragrance, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

The next day.

When he woke up, sunlight was already shining through the hole, forcing someone to open his eyes.

"Master, are you awake? How do you feel?"

"Much better. I feel full of energy."

"That's good. I'll go take a rest."

"Well, Jiji, I smelled flowers last night. What did you do?"

Jiji tried hard to keep his eyes open and said, "I collected spiritual flowers and used them for you, my master, to bathe. Yesterday, the strange fire tempering turned you into a clay figurine. I changed two hot springs to bathe you."

Yun Dandan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her body. The beautiful goose yellow dress was the one she bought and placed in the Jiji Secret Realm.

"Thank you, go to bed now."

"No, you're welcome."

Jiji's face turned slightly red, although it couldn't be seen due to his appearance. Then he took a look and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the cave.

I didn’t expect Jiji to be so considerate. I will definitely help her fulfill her wish in the future, escape from the secret realm, survive, and be a happy person.

"What should we do next? How about tempering our spiritual power? I don't know if it will hurt."

He circulated the strange fire and followed the technique to let it travel through the tendons and veins where spiritual power flowed. Every time he arrived at an area, he let the strange fire temper the spiritual power there. Fortunately, he had already tempered his body with the strange fire yesterday, so he could grit his teeth and endure the pain now.

Time passed, and the day was only half done.

Yun Dandan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to circulate through the circle with gritted teeth. Her cultivation level dropped from the peak of the Qi training stage to the twelfth level. When she opened her eyes, it was already past noon.

"It's been quite a while. What's that smell?" She stood up to check, but saw that her dress had turned from light yellow to gray, so she quickly took out a mirror to look.

I saw myself in the mirror with my face covered in gray matter, as if I had just wiped it with dirt from the ground, and it was covered in dust. I pulled up my sleeves and saw the same on my arms.

"Oh my God!" A light flashed, and a person appeared in the hot spring of Jiji Secret Realm.

"I have to wash it quickly. Shouldn't I wash it every time I temper it from now on? Sigh."

An hour later, she appeared in the cave again.

"It's still early, why don't you practice some alchemy?"

Yun Dandan prepared all the spiritual herbs as soon as she said it, then sat cross-legged, and was stunned for a moment.

"Uh..., how can I refine the alchemy without an alchemy furnace?" He hurried to the registration office to ask for leave.

"Hey, did you guys just see that female disciple? She's really pretty. I wonder who she is?"

"I don't know, but we can wait. If he's an outer sect disciple, maybe we can catch him. After all, we are an inner sect disciple."

"Then wait?"

"Together."

Luoxue City, Treasure Pavilion.

"Hey, how much is this alchemy furnace?"

The man beside him came back to his senses, his cheeks slightly red as he said, "One million eight hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Yun Dandan felt a slight pain in her heart, "I bought it."

"Okay, does the girl have any other needs?"

"A hundred or eighty of these small jade bottles would be enough."

"Okay, I will definitely choose the best quality for the girl."

"Thank you very much."

"Of course, please wait at the counter, young lady. I'll go after I get the jade bottle."

"Um."

After the transaction was completed, Yun Dandan left the treasure pavilion, but found that several cultivators followed her, with admiration in their eyes, and some even had lustful looks.

"Master, you should wear a veil. Look at them, their eyes are almost glued to you."

“???”

"I've never been like this before when I went out. What's going on?"

Jiji said worriedly, "Before, it was because the master had not used the strange fire to remove the impurities in his body. Now that his body and spiritual power have been tempered, his appearance has reached a new level."
