Xun'er's departure did not cause much of a stir at Jia Nan Academy.
At least, it didn't have much impact on the people of the Xiao Family.
Because she left the school, she naturally went directly with Gu Yuan.
Besides Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi Xian, Xun'er did not inform anyone else.
As for the procedures at Jia Nan Academy, someone would naturally handle them for her.
As for the students who were dreaming of something impossible, they were heartbroken for a few days after discovering Xun'er had left.
However, this naturally had no effect on Xiao Xue or the other members of the Xiao Family.
Yao Lao and Xiao Yan did come to see Xiao Xue once, asking some relevant questions.
After all, Yao Lao had some understanding of Xun'er's identity.
Xiao Xue left so unusually that day, and then the next day Xun'er graduated from Jia Nan Academy and disappeared without a trace.
Yao Lao naturally wouldn't believe that there was no connection between these events.
Of course, due to certain considerations, Yao Lao did not allow Xiao Yan to listen in when he spoke with Xiao Xue this time.
The current Xiao Yan is just a Great Dou Master; it's too early for him to know these things.
Upon learning that Xiao Xue had gained Gu Yuan's favor and strong cultivation support, Yao Lao became even more resolute in his belief.
—These two siblings are definitely child of destiny.
Especially after learning that Xiao Xue had brought a space wormhole from the Pill Tower, Yao Lao became incredibly excited.
As long as he connected with the Pill Tower, his complete revival would truly not be far off. How could this not excite Yao Lao?
Yao Lao immediately offered to guide Xiao Xue on the usage of the Bone Chilling Flame.
This wasn't exactly repayment, but for one, fostering a good relationship with the child of destiny was definitely the right move.
His Disciple, Xiao Yan, had guided Xiao Xue, making him Xiao Xue's half-master.
Once these two rose to power, wouldn't he be able to enjoy a comfortable life?
Secondly, Yao Lao also felt a genuine appreciation for talent.
Xiao Xue was an unprecedented Water Attribute Alchemist who had even refined the Bone Chilling Flame.
In fact, ever since he discovered Xiao Xue had refined the Bone Chilling Flame, Yao Lao had wanted Xiao Xue to be listed under his name—
He had said he would take Xiao Yan as his Final Disciple, but giving Xiao Xue some casual guidance wouldn't conflict with that.
However, as soon as Xiao Xue returned to the Inner Academy, Gu Yuan called her away.
Now that he had the chance, he naturally had to seize it.
With Yao Lao's eyesight, he could naturally tell.
Xiao Xue refined the Bone Chilling Flame and then attached it to her Water Attribute Dou Qi, instead of using the flame directly.
Xiao Xue's current Dou Qi looked like both water and ice, and faintly seemed to bear the markings of fire within it.
This meant her Water Attribute Dou Qi possessed the three attributes of water, ice, and fire.
The difficulty of this manipulation was undoubtedly higher than using the flame directly, but the power was also much greater.
Xiao Xue's Water Attribute Dou Qi could erupt with extreme high temperatures one moment, and then release extreme frigidity the next.
If this characteristic was used well in battle, it could definitely catch opponents completely off guard.
Although water and fire are incompatible, Yao Lao had, after all, refined the Bone Chilling Flame for many years and was quite familiar with it.
Therefore, some of Yao Lao's experience was indeed useful to Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue naturally nodded and agreed to this.
Over the next half month, in the spare time Xiao Xue had from learning how to control the Bone Chilling Flame with Yao Lao, she helped Xiao Yi Xian refine a few poison control pills.
The poison control pill is a Sixth-Tier Medicinal Pill, a necessary auxiliary Medicinal Pill when refining the Netherworld Poison Flame.
Although the Netherworld Poison Flame is not highly ranked, only ranking twentieth.
However, the difficulty of refining it is far greater than refining the Green Lotus Core Flame, which is ranked nineteenth.
If it were a Dou Venerate, they could completely ignore the temperature of the Netherworld Poison Flame and use their vast Dou Qi to push it through their meridians according to the Cultivation Technique, thus refining it.
But during this process, his entire body would also be afflicted with severe poison.
As the toxins spread into the meridians, even resisting with Dou Qi would only accelerate the spread of the poison.
Moreover, every time you activate the Netherworld Poison Flame, it causes the toxins to spread, deepening the damage to yourself.
Therefore, even if an ordinary person were lucky enough to obtain the Netherworld Poison Flame, they would not choose to refine it.
Because the investment and return are completely disproportionate—it's not worth the loss.
If someone with a Calamity Poison Body like Xiao Yi Xian were to directly swallow the Netherworld Poison Flame.
The Calamity Poison Body would likely subconsciously absorb the Netherworld Poison Flame as nourishment.
In this way, the Netherworld Poison Flame would essentially be absorbed directly into the bones and muscles, which is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned.
Xiao Xue was able to integrate the Origin of the Bone Chilling Flame into her heart entirely by relying on the ice spirit cold marrow for balance.
If she had integrated the Bone Chilling Flame into her entire body, she would probably be lying in a coffin with Ahri right now.
Therefore, making some preparations beforehand is especially important before refining the Netherworld Poison Flame.
The poison control pill controls not a person, but the Netherworld Poison Flame.
Its function is to have the toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Flame "suppressed" for a certain period, turning it into a "non-toxic" Heavenly Flame.
Then, Xiao Yi Xian needs to refine the Netherworld Poison Flame and drive it into the spirit storage during the period when her Calamity Poison Body is "deceived" by the poison control pill.
Only in this way can she be considered successful in refining the Netherworld Poison Flame.
Xiao Xue can be said to have made thorough preparations for Xiao Yi Xian to refine the Netherworld Poison Flame.
She refined three poison control pills alone, to be used in succession.
Three poison control pills can support a long period of time.
If Xiao Yi Xian still hasn't successfully refined the Netherworld Poison Flame before the medicinal power of the third poison control pill is completely consumed.
Then, continuing to drag it out would be pointless.
At that point, either Xiao Yi Xian's Dou Qi or Soul Power would be insufficient;
Or she would be unable to drive the Heavenly Flame into the spirit storage.
Rather than stubbornly dragging it out, it would be better to give up directly.
Therefore, Xiao Xue did not refine any more.
Next, Medicinal Pills similar to the green lotus pill were naturally indispensable.
Xiao Yi Xian is currently only a Dou King and cannot directly swallow the Heavenly Flame while ignoring its temperature.
Xiao Xue hunted a Sixth-Tier Water Attribute Demonic Beast in the back mountains of Jia Nan Academy and obtained a Sixth-Tier Water Attribute Demonic Core.
Then, she also refined protective Medicinal Pills as backup.
After all preparations were complete, Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi Xian left the Clinic and found a relatively secluded spot in the back mountains of Jia Nan Academy.
After all, if she successfully refines the Netherworld Poison Flame, due to the special nature of the Calamity Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian's strength will inevitably soar.
Xiao Xue conservatively estimated that Xiao Yi Xian could at least reach the Peak Dou King stage.
Breaking through to Dou Sovereign in one go is also not impossible.
In that case, the movement of the Breakthrough would be too great, causing many troubles in the Inner Academy.
For safety's sake, Yao Lao also followed along.
If the Netherworld Poison Flame runs rampant inside Xiao Yi Xian's body.
Only Yao Lao, who is familiar with flames, would likely be able to strip away the flame in time and save Xiao Yi Xian's life.
Xiao Yan was very curious about the Netherworld Poison Flame, so he also followed along.
Xiao Xue naturally wouldn't stop her Cheap older brother, after all, her Cheap older brother is [opportunity 10].
Speaking mystically, with Xiao Yan nearby, the difficulty of Xiao Yi Xian refining the Netherworld Poison Flame might even decrease.
If she were truly unfortunate enough to suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Flame, it would also be easier to turn misfortune into fortune.
Xiao Xue, Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao—three people and one Soul—found a relatively secluded and cool cave in the back mountains of Jia Nan Academy.
After all preparations were in place, Xiao Yi Xian took out the protective Medicinal Pills from her storage ring and swallowed them.
Then, a green Fire Cat was summoned by her from an empty storage ring.
The refinement of the Netherworld Poison Flame officially began.
