Shen Sang may seem serious, but he actually has a lot of wicked tastes and is quite mischievous, a fact well known to the dodder flower fairy.
So when Qiyan said that he couldn't move if he was touched by fire, it knew that he was doomed.
What's the difference between this and handing yourself over to Chen Sangruo like a toy?
See? This is how it ends.
The dodder flower fairy swayed its vines, looking quite like a seasoned veteran.
Hearing her answer, Qi Yan felt a lump in his throat and almost couldn't catch his breath.
"You said it yourself. I never expected that Young Master Qiyan, one of the Five Divine Beasts, would lie," Chen Sangruo said in a completely innocent tone.
Well, if you ignore the unusually obvious smile on her face.
Although she didn't really like the word "sulking" because of the people from the Flying Cloud Sect, Qi Yan's current state really resembled a rebellious child sulking against the heavens.
Qiyan is a mythical beast with a very stubborn mouth.
During the time he was burned by the Liu Huo, Qi Yan accumulated a bellyful of resentment, but while resenting, he also secretly cooperated with the Liu Huo to clear away the influence of demonic energy on him.
Three days passed, and Qi Yan gradually calmed down after venting his emotions.
It's like the resentment that's been building up inside is finally released. At the moment of release, you feel like you're about to explode, but after the release, you're just calmer than before.
Since things had come to this, he had a "what's the use" mentality. Who wouldn't want to be a normal member of the Five Divine Beasts? Let them be slapped in the face if they want.
"Are you still pretending?" Qi Yan glared at her fiercely, but the threat in his eyes seemed different from before.
Anyone can see that he is in much better condition than before.
"So, don't keep things bottled up inside; it's much better to let them out," she said with a smile.
If all else fails, I'll just go find someone to vent my anger on. I can make others suffer, but I can't make myself suffer.
"I don't need you to lecture me. Anyway, I will never forgive Him." Qi Yan said indignantly.
"Alright, then wait until you've completely cleared away the influence of the demonic energy, then go find Him yourself and demand an explanation." She smoothly changed the subject, "How much of the demonic energy's influence have you cleared from your body? How effective is the Glazed Fire?"
Mentioning this, Qi Yan pouted and complained, "Your flames aren't any better. I was burned for three days and three nights, and the effect was only a tiny bit."
It really only had a very slight effect; if he hadn't been so sensitive to this matter, even he wouldn't have noticed it.
At this rate, it might take tens of thousands of years to completely eradicate it.
"Some people claim they want to turn evil, but they actually care a lot. They're willing to endure being burned for three days and three nights for that little bit of effect," Shen Sangruo said jokingly, looking at Qiyan meaningfully.
Qi Yan's true colors were exposed, and his face turned bright red. Is that the important point?
She shrugged. "I didn't know my flames could have this effect before, so there's no point in complaining to me."
She truly didn't know that her flames were so special, capable of clearing away the effects of demonic energy.
He couldn't help but recall that when the Azure Phoenix Fairy encountered that malevolent demonic energy before, her flames did not have such an effect.
After carefully considering her changes over this period, could it be that she unlocked a new function after breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm?
Following this line of thought, would her ability to eliminate influences also improve with her next breakthrough?
Also, why is it that her spiritual flames are so special?
Countless questions arose in my mind.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a daze, Qi Yan assumed that she really didn't care anymore and couldn't help but speak up:
"Shouldn't you think of a way? I am, after all, one of the Five Divine Beasts. Rescuing me would be very beneficial to you."
"Now you're not going to say you'll arrest me and hand me over to the radical demonic cultivators, and expose me as not being Ya Lan?"
"It was just something I said in anger at the time, do you really need to repeat it over and over?"
Shen Sanruo nodded very seriously.
Of course, she wouldn't tell Qiyan that this was a desensitization process.
To deal with someone who's so stubborn, you have to break through their defenses repeatedly.
It's definitely not because it's fun.
Seeing that Qi Yan was about to explode again like a bouncy ball, she finally said:
"Perhaps my ability to clear away influences will also improve after my next breakthrough, so please wait patiently."
"Perhaps as my cultivation level increases, the influence of the demonic energy on you will be eliminated in an instant."
Regardless, let's draw up the pie first.
Qi Yan looked at her suspiciously for a while, and only nodded after confirming that she wasn't playing a trick on him.
I took a bite of the flatbread that Shen Sangruo had painted, and it actually tasted quite delicious.
I'll trust you this time.
Both sides have reached an agreement and are temporarily on the same side.
"Alright, I should go back now."
Three days have passed, and the group of radical demonic cultivators are in a state of panic. If she doesn't go back soon, things will descend into chaos.
The place Qi Yan brought her to was very secluded; no one could find it in the misty, dark valley.
She also needed to return to the conservative faction before the ten-day agreement. With Qi Yan around, she wasn't worried about not having a reason to persuade Linghu Min.
"I'll take you back." Qi Yan curled his lips, showing little interest in the matter, and pulled her away, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
Several demonic beasts returned to her sea of consciousness.
A short while later, Chen Sangri heard Qi Yan's urgent and expectant voice coming from beside her:
"So much time has passed, how's it going? Have you broken through yet?"
Shen Sangruo: ?
Slowly, a question mark appears.
Turning to look at Qi Yan, she saw that he looked very serious, not like he was joking with her, but because he thought she really needed to break through.
She hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself, and finally said only in silence:
Do you think breaking through is easy?
"Is it not easy? When I broke through before, it took me two days for a small stage and three days for a big stage."
Shen Sangruo: ...
Forgot that this guy is one of the Five Divine Beasts, born with a cheat code.
"That's you. I'm just an ordinary cultivator. I don't have that kind of heaven-defying cultivation speed. You'll have to wait and see."
Qi Yan hissed and gasped. He had been too hasty and had mistaken Shen Sangruo for one of his own kind.
"How long will it take for your next breakthrough?"
"It depends on the situation. It could take anywhere from a year or two to several decades."
After the Nascent Soul stage, cultivation becomes difficult, and many people spend their entire lives only to remain at the Nascent Soul stage.
Decades is already considered a short time.
Qi Yan was greatly surprised upon hearing this, "It will take that long?"
He knew their cultivation speed was slow, but he didn't expect it to be this slow.
If you break through layer by layer, wouldn't it take thousands of years to effectively eliminate the influence on him?
"Isn't there a way to cultivate quickly?"
"Yes, there are, but we call that heretical cultivation, it's very cruel."
"Then why don't I transfer my cultivation directly to you?"
"No, Heaven is watching."
"What about other people's cultivation levels?"
"That won't work either."
