"Of course I remember. Spirit fire is a treasure of heaven and earth, but unfortunately, our Snow Fox Clan is inherently incompatible with fire, so even if we encounter it, it's of little use," Xue Bingsi said with a smirk. "However, the spirit fire later entered this person's brow, and he wasn't burned to death..."

Before he could finish speaking, he clearly realized the crux of the problem.

“That’s right. Only a pill master can possess a spirit fire without being consumed by it,” Xue Bingling nodded, confirming Xue Bingsi’s thoughts. “Moreover, the spirit fire is of extremely high grade, so this person’s pill master grade must also be extremely high, otherwise he would not be able to subdue the spirit fire!”

"Oh, right!" Xue Bingsi was overjoyed. Her gaze towards Shang Xiye changed from full of apprehension and disdain to burning with fervor. "If we can get help from a human alchemist, our chances of winning will increase by at least 20%, no, 30%... 40%! He is a high-level alchemist, definitely 40%!"

"Also, brother, don't forget that he has only reached the Nascent Soul Realm. It's no exaggeration to say that someone who has reached the advanced level of alchemy in the Nascent Soul Realm is an unparalleled genius. His potential for growth is greater than yours and mine." Xue Bingling's gaze on Shang Xiye was also inexplicable.

She kept recalling how Shang Xiye had reached out to her with such deep affection and tenderness before he fainted.

Although he was extremely weak at that time, and his murmurs were almost inaudible.

But she could read what he was saying from his lip movements: "Little wife..."

"Wife" is the term ordinary mortals use to refer to their lovers, which is what cultivators call "Daoist partners."

A strange feeling stirred within Xue Bingling.

Although she knew he was most likely not calling her, the deep affection and tenderness in his eyes still deeply touched her.

That burning passion stirred her emotions and filled her with longing.

Shang Xiye fell into a coma, but the Extreme Flame in his sea of ​​consciousness was not there.

Hearing that the two fox demons meant no harm to Shang Xiye, Ji Yan was relieved and did not rush to escape with Shang Xiye's soul.

Shang Xiye's soul was already severely damaged. Although he merged with a wisp of Mo Linxian's soul, it was only a wisp.

To put it more abstractly, his soul was originally a whole orange, but it was later torn into only half a segment.

Now we've found another half petal, making it a whole petal.

But compared to a whole orange, it is still far from being a complete orange; one should not abandon the original body if possible.

After all, everyone knows that the original is definitely much better than the second-hand one.

Moreover, Shang Xiye ultimately suffered an indiscriminate mental attack from the Snow Fox Clan.

The innate supernatural abilities of a very small number of demonic beasts are gifts from the heavens.

Even though it is a naturally born and nurtured creature, it is helpless against this intangible, innate talent bestowed by heaven.

Ji Yan completely ignored Xue Bingsi's gaze; it had seen such fiery eyes many times before.

But the way Xue Bingling looked at Shang Xiye was rather intriguing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems like Xiao Momo is about to have another stroke of good luck with women." Once he was sure she was safe, Ji Yan began to gloat: "Fox spirits are the most alluring creatures in the world, and the snow fox, with its naturally beautiful skin and seductive charm, is the most so. Moreover, this little fox is the chosen one of this world. Xiao Momo is really in for a treat this time!"

I wonder what will happen when Xiao Yunyao finds out—will she use a whip, or apply wax? I think nine times out of ten she'll have to use a knife.”

Bored and gossipy, Ji Yan hid beside Shang Xiye's soul, laughing heartily, utterly shameless.
