"..."
Xiao Ming was dumbfounded as he read the options in his mind. He never expected Medusa's persistence to pay off, as she had directly given him the option for the Snake Sacred Soul Advancement Pill in the Simulator.
In contrast, he, who wanted to have some more Spirit Nourishment Powder, took it out every day to look at it. It had even become a habit, but it was never selected, which left him speechless.
The third option was the most tempting of all: the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame that belonged to the legendary Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.
However, Xiao Ming knew better than to choose it. Its acquisition would result in a fate similar to that of the Xiao Clan Ancestor, Blood-Colored Axe Xiao Chen, who despite being a four-star Dou Saint, was still imprisoned in the Demonic Flame Realm.
As for the final option, it had to be said that the value of a High-Grade Seventh-Tier Pill was higher than that of a Seventh Rank Monster Core.
With a sigh, he made his choice without hesitation and selected the Seventh Rank Monster Core.
That's right, the Seventh Rank Monster Core; it was true that the Snake Sacred Soul Advancement Pill was really a good thing. It could be used by other snake-type magical beasts besides Medusa, and it could definitely be sold for a good price when he went to a more advanced Serpent Magical Beast Clan.
But right now, Xiao Yi Xian still needed the Seventh Rank Monster Core, and if Xiao Ming chose anything, it would be based on the people close to him.
'Simulator, I choose the Monster Core of the Seventh Rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast.'
As soon as Xiao Ming's words fell, a blood-colored fist-sized crystal suddenly flashed in the air.
With a squeeze of his palm, Xiao Ming grasped this blood-colored crystal in his hand and felt the raging energy within it, and a smile flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes.
With this object, Xiao Yi Xian's strength could start to soar again.
A white light flashed in his palm, and the Seventh Rank Monster Core disappeared. From the moment he obtained the Monster Core to the moment he put it in his ring, it was only an instant.
Venerable Tian Huo in mid-air didn't notice anything about Xiao Ming's actions.
...
Three days later, early in the morning.
The two people with closed eyes in the secret room almost simultaneously opened their eyes and looked towards the cauldron in mid-air. The sticky blood-colored mist inside had completely dissipated, replaced by a chaotic gas in which Xiao Ming felt a strong soul power.
"Finally, it has been successfully refined..."
Venerable Tian Huo looked at the invisible, colorless gas, and a flash of excitement flashed across his eyes, and then with a wave of his palm, the cauldron automatically collapsed and swirled into an invisible flame, heading towards Xiao Ming and entering his body.
The mass of chaotic gas, after approaching Venerable Tian Huo, was directly swallowed by him in one gulp. Then, his body trembled, and he turned into a white light that entered the white storage ring.
"Haha, Xiao Ming, I won't forget this great favor. After I completely absorb this soul power, I will repay you. Aside from that, it may take me a while to absorb it, so I won't be able to help you in the meantime."
Hearing Venerable Tian Huo's laughter, Xiao Ming also smiled and nodded his head slightly.
It didn't matter if Venerable Tian Huo would be secluded for a little longer, he wouldn't need his help to deal with a few Dou Ancestors that would arrive at the Empire's border.
The help Yao Tian Huo could provide right now was limited, and it was only after he came out of seclusion that it would be of great help to him.
...
Creak!
As the door to the secret room slowly creaked open, Xiao Ming stepped out into the light of the morning sun. His heart raced as he looked over and saw Xiao Yi Xian, sitting peacefully on a chair, her eyes closed in meditation.
The sight of her delicate features, framed by the soft rays of sunlight, took his breath away. Her long, flowing purple hair shimmered like silk in the light, and the soft curve of her lips seemed to temp him closer.
As he drew closer to her, Xiao Yi Xian seemed to sense something and instinctively opened her eyes, her gaze immediately fixed upon him.
A fleeting moment of surprise washed over her delicate features, followed by an unmistakable glimmer of joy that illuminated her eyes. For a moment, they simply looked at each other, caught in each other's gaze.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, Xiao Ming closed the remaining distance between them and gently brushed his lips against hers. At first, it was a gentle and tentative kiss, but as their passion grew, it became more intense and urgent.
The warmth of her body pressed against his as they lost themselves in the moment…
