Soon, Xiao Feng and his companions laid eyes on the Three Thousand Flaming Flame. It was a colossal purple-black dragon, hundreds of feet long, wreathed in purple-black flames that scorched and twisted the surrounding void. Its appearance bore a striking resemblance to the Ancient Void Dragon.
"Whoosh!!!"
Sensing the approach of intruders, the Three Thousand Flaming Flame suddenly opened its purple-black eyes, filled with a savage ferocity.
However, when the Three Thousand Flaming Flame detected the aura emanating from Zi Yan, an aura that made it feel an irresistible urge to draw closer, the savagery in its eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by curiosity and confusion.
"Yan'er, it's up to you now."
"Mm!"
Zi Yan nodded slightly, her hands swiftly forming seals. Between her palms, a palm-sized purple-gold dragon seal materialized.
"Whoosh!!!"
As the dragon seal appeared, a brilliant golden light erupted from within the Three Thousand Flaming Flame, coalescing into countless purple-gold threads that tightly bound it into a ball.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Amidst the Three Thousand Flaming Flame's unwilling roars, its massive form rapidly shrank, eventually compressed into a fist-sized purple-black fire dragon—the core of its origin flame.
Although the Three Thousand Flaming Flame had grown for thousands of years, its strength now rivaled that of a Dou Venerate expert. Yet, in the face of the contingency left by Zhu Kun, it was utterly powerless to resist.
Seeing the Three Thousand Flaming Flame reduced to its origin flame form, Zi Yan opened her small mouth and inhaled deeply, swallowing the tiny purple-black fire dragon.
With Zi Yan's current cultivation level and the suppression of the Dragon Emperor's mark, refining the Three Thousand Flaming Flame naturally proceeded without a hitch.
Once Zi Yan had fully refined the Three Thousand Flaming Flame, Xiao Feng and his group had no intention of lingering in the Sacred Pill City and immediately returned to the Ancient Dragon Island.
The energy contained within the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit far surpassed that of a Dou Saint's marrow. Even with the assistance of the Three Thousand Flaming Flame, it would take Zi Yan several months of seclusion to fully refine it.
Taking advantage of Zi Yan's seclusion, Xiao Feng headed to the Void Lightning Pool near the Ancient Dragon Island to cultivate.
The Void Lightning Pool was an extremely unique space, naturally exuding a strange gravitational force that caused chaotic energy to gather, eventually giving birth to countless bolts of lightning.
Following the guidance provided by Elder Zhu Li, Xiao Feng quickly arrived at the area where the Void Lightning Pool was located.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
It was a silvery-white "lake," filled with silvery-white lightning energy, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.
"Not bad!"
Seeing this, Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction and then summoned his "Wrath" avatar, skilled in controlling lightning.
As Xiao Feng's cultivation had broken through to the peak of the second transformation of Dou Venerate, the strength of his emotional avatars had also greatly increased. The "Wrath" avatar now possessed strength comparable to a peak Dou Venerate expert.
"Go! Take these Earth Demon Puppets and cultivate inside!"
With Xiao Feng's command, he brought out the Earth Demon Puppets he had personally crafted, along with the ten Earth Demon Puppets he had subdued in the ancient ruins, and handed them all over to the "Wrath" avatar for training.
"You really know how to put people to work! Damn it, this is so annoying..."
Perhaps because the "Wrath" avatar was born from Xiao Feng's anger, it grumbled and complained while leading the Earth Demon Puppets into the Void Lightning Pool to cultivate.
After entrusting the training of the Earth Demon Puppets to the "Wrath" avatar, Xiao Feng had no intention of lingering near the Void Lightning Pool. Instead, he teleported back to the headquarters of the Supreme Alliance to accompany the Medusa Queen and the others on a leisurely tour of the Black-Corner Region.
In the path of cultivation, one must balance exertion with relaxation.
Moreover, Xiao Feng's cultivation had advanced too rapidly recently, and he needed time to properly adapt. Forcing further cultivation would be counterproductive.
...
The night was as serene as water, the moonlight as delicate as a veil.
After several hours of intense "battle," Queen Medusa, Little Fairy Doctor, and Qing Lin were finally satiated, embracing each other as they drifted into a blissful slumber.
Originally, Xiao Feng hadn't planned to take Qing Lin so soon, but he couldn't resist her eagerness to throw herself into the lion's den.
It wasn't entirely Qing Lin's fault for being impatient. The main reason was that Little Fairy Doctor and the others had already been claimed by Xiao Feng, and some were even carrying his children.
Qing Lin had initially found solace in the fact that Zi Yan was in the same boat, but even she had recently betrayed their pact, causing their friendship to capsize.
Seeing that Zi Yan and the others were already feasting at the table, Qing Lin realized that if she didn't act soon, she might not even get a taste of the soup.
Thus, a few days ago, while attending to Xiao Feng during his bath, Qing Lin seized the opportunity to engage in a playful "mandarin duck bath" with him.
When the Queen and the others learned of this, they didn't blame Qing Lin.
After all, Qing Lin's affection and dependence on Xiao Feng were evident to all. It was only a matter of time before she became part of his harem.
Seeing the satisfied expressions on the three women's faces, Xiao Feng couldn't help but flash a smug, mischievous grin. He then shifted his attention to the character attribute panel, where the simulation countdown had just reached zero.
"Begin simulation!"
With a thought from Xiao Feng, the 28th simulation commenced.
"Ding! Randomly selecting a simulation world..."
Under Xiao Feng's eager gaze, the text in the selection box rapidly changed, finally settling on four bold characters—Night Q Hospital!
???
Xiao Feng blinked in disbelief.
Something's off!
This is more than just a little off!
Could the range of simulation worlds really be this vast?
Does this mean I might have a chance to draw something as overpowered as a time-stopping device in the future?
"Ding! Please select the simulation mode!"
[Text Projection Simulation (No Cost)]
[Body Projection Simulation (Cost: 9 billion merit points)]
Although Xiao Feng felt a slight urge to choose the [Body Projection Simulation], the staggering entry fee of 9 billion merit points quickly brought him back to his senses. He decisively opted for the free [Text Projection Simulation].
"Ding! Text Projection Simulation begins!"
[Day 1: You find yourself seemingly transported to another world. As you're still trying to make sense of your situation, you suddenly notice a little girl with a backpack on a nearby street about to be hit by an out-of-control car.
Acting on instinct, you rush over, diving to push the girl out of harm's way, but end up breaking both your legs in the process.
Bystanders quickly call for an ambulance, and you're soon carried off to the nearest St. Julianna Hospital.]
[Day 2: The little girl's parents visit you in the hospital, bringing fruits and flowers to express their deepest gratitude. They promise to cover all your medical expenses and compensate you generously for your lost wages.
Although you want to say that good deeds should be done without expecting rewards, being penniless in this new world, you ultimately accept the parents' token of appreciation.]
