BOOM!
The mountain Long Chen had hidden himself in crumbled . Terrifying energy soared out, crashing into the sky, causing the very heavens to change color .
A violet flame erupted out, igniting the void, spreading throughout a region of over a mile .
The huge trees that had been atop the mountain were instantly burned to ashes . An intense temperature scorched the earth . Cracks were spreading out quickly in every direction .
“Hahahaha, I’ve finally succeeded!” Long Chen raised his head up to the sky and roared . Violet flames burned around his body, making him look like a flame god filled with a domineering spirit .
Three figures quickly rushed over . They were Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and Lu Fang-er . They were the first to sense this powerful aura, and so they were the first to rush over to see what was going on .
Seeing Long Chen wrapped up in those violet flames, emitting a powerful pressure and surging heat waves, their hearts shook .
“Excellent, you succeeded Long Chen!” exclaimed Chu Yao . It had to be known that a fifth rank Magical Beast’s beast flame was ordinarily something only Meridian Opening experts could refine . Even top geniuses would have to at least reach the Bone Forging realm .
But Long Chen was only at Tendon Transformation, and only early Tendon Transformation at that . This truly was too shocking . Now all their worries were swept away .
“Ah!”
Suddenly, three startled cries rang through the air, and they hastily turned around, their hands covering their faces, not daring to look at Long Chen any longer .
“Long Chen, hurry up and put on some clothes!” chided Meng Qi .
Long Chen had been laughing heartily . He had sensed those three coming and had just been about to say something when he saw their odd movements . Then with Meng Qi’s reminder, he looked towards his body .
Even with Long Chen’s incredibly thick skin, he had an urge to crawl into a hole and die . Just now, when he had subdued the beast flame, the beast flame had released all its berserk nature in one explosion .
In his excitement, Long Chen had actually forgotten that that terrifying heat had already turned his clothes to ashes . Currently, there was not a single thread covering his body as he stood there .

Then thinking of how he had brazenly laughed so heartily, Long Chen felt his face was scorching, and not from flame . He hastily put away the beast flame and put on clothes .
Even after putting on clothes, Long Chen still felt too embarrassed . He might not be a shy person, but this was far too embarrassing .
“Cough, so you’ve come . ” Long Chen awkwardly laughed, not knowing just what to say .
“Uh-huh . ”
The three of them still refused to turn around and look at Long Chen . Long Chen could even hear their hearts pounding .
“Cough… about that, how are those little chicks you were incubating?” Long Chen could only try and change the topic .
Hearing that, the three women were much more excited . Although they were still red, they waved their hands . A spiritual fluctuation passed and four figures appeared in front of Long Chen . They were all over three meters tall .
Looking at those four figures, Long Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed . “Are these really the Violet Phoenix Sparrows? They look just like chicken chicks . ”
These four figures were large, but in terms of form, they truly did look just like newly hatched chickens . Their feathers hadn’t even grown out, and their skin was violet, looking just like ugly chicks that had only just hatched .
“Aiya, Long Chen, don’t be so mean! They were only just born . Once their feathers grow out, they’ll be divine steeds!” protested Lu Fang-er . She gently rubbed one of the Violet Phoenix Sparrows .
“That’s right! They’re still young . But even though they’re still so young, don’t you find that they are extremely cute?” Chu Yao was also dissatisfied with his appraisal .
The four chicks used their bare heads to rub against the three women as soon as they were summoned out .
“They wouldn’t be trying to get milk, right?” Seeing those fellows rubbing against the three women’s chests, Long Chen couldn’t help being a bit curious .
“Long Chen, you’re disgusting! Bite him Little Violet!” The three of them turned completely red, and Lu Fang-er even directly ordered her chick to attack him .
The little chick that had been fawning over Lu Fang-er immediately opened its mouth and came biting at Long Chen .

However, its movements were incredibly clumsy . Even walking was awkward for it . Long Chen laughed and took a step to the side .
But seeing Long Chen dodge, that chick furiously opened its mouth and spat out a fiery heat wave .
That did make Long Chen jump in fright . However, it was only able to spit out some hot air . Obviously, it still didn’t have the ability to spit out flames yet .
“Haha, truly vicious enough,” laughed Long Chen .
“Wicked Long Chen, are you trying to make a roundabout insult at us?” rebuked Meng Qi .
Ah, you really can’t fight with tongues with women . That’s a truth that hasn’t changed for all eternity . Long Chen laughed and asked them about their recent situation .
Chu Yao’s core energy had been replenished . After absorbing a small portion of the tree-heart’s energy, she had begun to practically glow .
She excitedly said that the tree-heart’s energy was so enormous that it was hard to imagine . Her wood energy was surprisingly beginning to once more transform to become even stronger .
Currently, she had yet to refine even a tenth of the tree-heart’s energy . Once she completely refined it, her power would definitely reach a terrifying level .
That filled Long Chen with excitement . Chu Yao’s combat strength was focused on defense . If her wood energy once more transformed to become stronger, then her defense would practically be invincible .
In group battles, Chu Yao would be like a powerful shield, protecting the entire group’s life .
She could attack, she could defend, and she could even heal people . Wood cultivators were the most popular people when it came to group battles .
Furthermore, Meng Qi and Lu Fang-er were both incredibly excited as well . Although these Violet Phoenix Sparrows were still in their infant state, as Beast Tamers, they had their own secret techniques to help them grow faster .
As long as they brought them hunting, then adding on special medicinal pills, these chicks would be able to quickly grow up in just a few months .
The four of them conversed for a while . Long Chen said he would once more enter seclusion and that the three of them should go wandering . After all, they needed to go hunting to allow the Violet Phoenix Sparrows to grow .

With the three of them together, a powerful fourth rank Magical Beast by their side, and with Chu Yao’s status as a powerful wood cultivator, they had nothing to fear except for peak experts on the level of Yin Luo .
Chu Yao also had to spend time refining the tree-heart . As she did, her strength would continuously climb . As for Meng Qi and Lu Fang-er, their most important task was to once more find suitable housepets as well as let the Violet Phoenix Sparrows mature .
The most important thing for Long Chen was condensing the Alioth Star . Staying together now would just waste time . It was better for them to split up . Although there were dangers everywhere in the Jiuli secret realm, there were also countless opportunities . The more you explored, the greater chance you would have of running into a lucky opportunity .
The three of them had also had such thoughts before, but they hadn’t wanted to say them to Long Chen . They were actually extremely excited that Long Chen would not be so emotional as to not be willing to part .
Before leaving, the three of them all gave Long Chen a tender look that was enough to make Long Chen’s bones soft . Just like that, the three of them began to search for their own opportunities .
Long Chen didn’t waste the slightest bit of time after they left . He rushed over to the cave that they had been in and took out his pill furnace .
A violet flame soared in Long Chen’s hand . With a thought from Long Chen, that flame jumped from finger to finger, going from his thumb to his pinky, from his pinky back to his thumb . His control had reached a smooth and easy level .
It was not in vain that Long Chen had spent so much time raising this flame . He had sacrificed half a month’s time to bring its repulsion to the lowest level before subduing it .
But this time was not wasted . After spending so much time, his control immediately reached a high level as soon as he subdued it .
Placing his Pill Flame within his furnace, he controlled the flame to keep it at its lowest temperature . He couldn’t use such a high temperature to warm up the furnace, or it would not only reduce the lifespan of the furnace, it would even cause a furnace explosion .
After he had refined that giant pill for Little Snow and his furnace had exploded, Long Chen had specially bought ten pill furnaces from the monastery .
There was no way around it . The monastery had no pill cultivators, and there were no good pill furnaces . These pill furnaces were practically antiques that had piled up within the monastery for who knew how many years .
So to be safe, Long Chen had immediately bought all the pill furnaces in stock . That way he wouldn’t have to worry about running out even if he caused a few furnace explosions .
Long Chen placed the Qilin Fruit into the pill furnace and increased the flame power . The Qilin Fruit instantly melted, and began to slowly turn to powder .
In truth, if you were to look at each bit of powder microscopically, you would see they were actually tiny beads that had locked all the medicinal essence inside it .
Long Chen’s previous Pill Flame had been unable to condense those tiny beads . That would cause the majority of the medicinal essence to be wasted . So no matter how amazing your pill refining arts were, you also needed a powerful Pill Flame .
“Amazing, this speed is absolutely frightening!” Long Chen was incomparably excited .
Refining the Qilin Fruit’s essence had only required a breath’s time . Compared to his expectation that it would take an hour, the difference was immense .
Long Chen felt as if he was a beggar who had suddenly become an emperor . Compared to this Phoenix Sparrow violet flame, his previous Flame Salamander blue flame was absolute garbage .
It was a pity those Pill God memories in his head were incomplete . He only had pill refining techniques as well as some information about medicinal ingredients . It was truly regretful he didn’t have any special fighting techniques . After fighting with Huo Wufang, Long Chen had been amazed by how powerful pill cultivators were .
He knew that Huo Wufang’s strength did not just lie in his beast flame and cultivation base . The main thing he relied on was his special technique to control his flame .
All the flame control techniques Long Chen had were only for refining pills, not fighting . It seemed he would have to find some more techniques in that aspect in the future .
After refining the Qilin Fruit, Long Chen raised his focus to his peak and began to pour in more medicinal powders .
At the same time, he adjusted the Pill Flame’s temperature . Although he had his Pill God memories, even true gods could not guarantee a one hundred percent pill refining rate .
The slightest mishap could cause the entire pill refinement to fail . He only had so few Qilin Fruits, and he couldn’t waste a single one .
An hour later, all the medicinal powders had been properly added, and he finally sealed the furnace . Long Chen increased the flame . As long as he controlled the temperature properly, this would allow even more the medicinal essence to be locked within the pill .
Two hours later, his pill furnace finally emitted a banging sound . Opening the lid, pill fragrance filled the air .
“Hehe, success!”
Long Chen laughed and wiped off his sweat . He reached into the pill furnace .
