As Huochi gradually released its suppression of the flames, Shushu clearly felt it; the flames that entered his meridians became even more domineering.
It's like a king inspecting his territory, with an arrogant sense of looking down on all living beings, and a feeling that he finds everything displeasing and wants to destroy the world and kill everything.
Sure enough, not long after the phoenix flames entered, Shushu felt as if he had been thrown into scalding lava, surrounded by flames.
It was a complete transformation, inside and out, and it was definitely even more intense than my previous experience at the Blazing Volcano.
At the same time, Shushu could clearly hear his meridians, skin, and bones cracking bit by bit under the power of the Phoenix Fire. The cracking sounds rang out continuously without stopping.
Even her throat was burning with a fiery sensation, and her voice was extremely dry and hoarse. Right now, she felt like a fish thrown into a boiling oil pan, with no part of her body spared from the scorching heat.
If it weren't for the previous experience of tempering the body with the Phoenix Fire, and the presence of Huo Chi and Lu Li, the damage caused by this Phoenix Fire would probably have been even greater.
Even so, Shushu was not feeling well at the moment. In just a few breaths, all the hair on her body was soaked with blood.
The once smooth white fur was now stained red with blood, forming sticky clumps that clung to the body.
Normally, Shushu would immediately take care of herself and make sure she was clean and tidy.
Unfortunately, this was not a normal situation, and Shushu's mind and attention were entirely focused on refining the phoenix flames.
Lu Li had some free time, but seeing Shushu working hard with his eyes closed, he didn't dare to move at this moment, worried that if he moved, it would affect Shushu.
And so, with the appearance of a wanderer, the millet wholeheartedly fought against the phoenix flames that had been brought over, who were specifically there to cause trouble and destruction.
She had to subdue these proud flames, make them submit to her, and make them serve her from then on.
Without much thought, Shushu began to act according to his pre-planned strategy: first, he controlled his five elements spiritual power to appear, and then used his own body as a testing ground to snipe at those phoenix fires.
Even knowing that her five elements spiritual power would be no match, she still repeatedly gathered spiritual power to attack and rush forward. When she was annihilated by the flames, she would gather it again, only to be destroyed again, and then gather it again.
This cycle repeated itself endlessly. Even when she was battered and bruised, she never gave up. She gritted her teeth and charged forward, charging forward with all her might.
It was probably this indomitable spirit that gave her the strength to finally exhaust one of the phoenix flames after countless rounds of battle, and control it, then began to guide it into her dantian.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction, but unexpectedly, the wisps of phoenix fire that seemed to have been subdued began to rebel after entering the dantian.
Not only did it disobey, it also tried to bump into the round, golden elixir of the sweet potato, as if it wouldn't give up until it cracked.
Seeing the rebellious phoenix fire, Shushu was also enraged. He immediately mobilized all his spiritual power and launched a battle of attrition against it, during which he also borrowed a wisp of fire spirit's flame.
After much effort, she finally managed to completely subdue the wisp of phoenix fire, allowing it to obediently coil in another corner of her dantian, facing the golden core, and then cease its restlessness.
Because this guy had a history of offenses, the potato didn't immediately look away. Instead, it quietly hid in the shadows and observed for a while, making sure that the guy had really submitted.
The glutton's divine sense stormed out of his dantian, selected the second wisp of flame, and, just like before, beat it up first until it was subdued before drawing it into his dantian.
Perhaps because of the original phoenix fire, this second flame was much easier to tame, and it didn't rebel; it obediently submitted.
Then came the third wisp, the fourth wisp... Finally, Shushu's divine sense traveled throughout his body, confirming that all the phoenix flames split from Huochi had been subdued, before Shushu began to regulate his body.
Looking at the cracked veins, she sighed helplessly, and then controlled the five elements of spiritual power to moisturize the fine cracks little by little.
With the added benefit of the elixir, the later repair progress of the millet was obviously much faster than when taming the phoenix fire.
After the last crack was completely healed, the yam opened its eyes.
When she looked up, she met Lu Li's eyes, which were full of smiles and encouragement. Seeing him there, Shushu unconsciously smiled and her eyes narrowed. Only then did she take a look at her own situation.
Perhaps because she had already reached the Golden Core stage, there weren't many impurities on her body this time, and the stench that had almost killed her was gone. After just two cleansing spells, the rat was full of energy, and her fur was clean and flawless.
However, when he saw the blood-stained fur scattered all over the ground around him, Shushu knew that the fur on his body was actually newly grown.
Looking at the noticeably longer and thicker white fuzz, this time, Shushu felt no sadness at all; instead, she was rather happy.
After carefully collecting all the blood-stained fur and placing it in a special jade box, Shushu scurried onto Lu Li's shoulder.
With a triumphant air, she directed Lu Li to open the door to the seclusion room. She wanted to go out and share the good news with her friends.
Her smug and slightly arrogant demeanor amused Lu Li, who gently reached out and ruffled her petals. He was momentarily surprised to find that the touch was even better.
But he quickly understood and, without saying anything more, took Shushu and opened the door to the seclusion room to go out.
The sun was still shining brightly outside. After the restriction was lifted, Shushu received a bunch of paper cranes with messages sent to her, some from her senior brothers and sisters, but most from her friends.
Several of them came from her cheap son, and without any hesitation, Shushu chose to open his first.
Listening to Xuan Shen Zai Zai, from initially complaining that she went into seclusion after returning without seeing her, to later saying that she missed her, and sharing interesting stories.
It seems that even Shushu can imagine the possible expressions on Xuan Shen's face through the paper crane that transmits the message.
Then, remembering that he hadn't seen Xuan Shen since returning, Shushu decided to go find him as his first stop.
Knowing that Lu Li didn't like going to play with Zai Zai with her, Shu Shu didn't make things difficult for him. After briefly explaining the situation, she went to find Xuan Shen on her own.
She left so decisively and without any hesitation that Lu Li was both amused and exasperated. However, he couldn't bear to blame her, so he quickly composed himself and went back to work.
Since Xuan Shen had mentioned its approximate recent itinerary on the paper crane, Shushu didn't travel far and headed straight for the Cub Trial Platform on Spirit Beast Peak.
Soon, she accurately located Xuan Shen, who was fighting against Rabbit One, on the rows of trial platforms.
Then she fell silent.
