Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 636  I told you it would be over quick

Wu Long also thought about where to direct that change, trying to take away his mind off a certain topic as she still needed some rest from those activities for now. And then an idea popped in his mind.

"...how about your Earth Flame?", he asked, causing her to widen her eyes.

"But..."

"Hahaha, don\'t worry, if that Earth Flame is ruined by this change I can find you a new one. The link to the outside is now certain to open up. There are far more powerful Earth Flames available in the Boundless Profound World, and I was thinking of going hunting for them there anyway", he chuckled, seeing an apprehensive light in her eyes as currently the Earth Flame was one of her most treasured possessions.

But unlike a Yin Root or Cultivation Core, or bloodline, or anything innate to cultivators, Alchemy Flame was something that could be swapped out.

In fact, when an alchemist encountered a more rare and precious Flame than their own, they would replace it without thinking, even if they spent a lot of resources on evolving the previous one.

This was the reason some alchemists sometimes hesitated using a precious herb or medicinal pill they obtained to evolve their current Alchemy Flames.

Although it was a flawed logic in Wu Long\'s view, as not using that resource diminished their chances of progress and thus chances to encounter that more precious Flame they were saving it for.

He always called those alchemist who perpetually withhold on evolving their Flame in hopes of getting a better ones "Tomorrow People".

Granted, most alchemists in the world used Beast Flames, and not Earth Flames, because even in the Boundless Profound World, Earth Flame was something relatively rare and precious. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thus hesitation to experiment with something so valuable would normally be far more understandable.

But Wu Long never settled for mediocre or average means when he could afford better quality, and more so when it concerned his women.

"Hmm", she made a cute pondering face full of hesitation. On one hand she truly treasured this Earth Flame, and not only because of how precious it was, but even more so because it was his gift. On the other hand, she was also driven by curiosity of what this might bring.

"But we would need to at least use the Flame now, if the change causes it to be unusable...", she finally opened her mouth after pondering.

"True, but even if it is completely unusable, you can just extract it and use your own Alchemy Flame. It may not have some of the benefits of the Earth Flame, but we can just evolve it with some resources to make it powerful enough for our needs. On the other hand, if the change is beneficial... just think of the potential of a Flame evolved by the Primordial Chaos itself...", he nodded, and then made an enticing look, that coupled with his words made her gulp.

"Uhm... we need to evolve the Earth Flame if we want the blessing to be attracted to it, and for that we need a catalyst...", she added another reason, since unlike evolving a normal Alchemy Flame or even Beast Flame, doing so with an Earth Flame required vastly more powerful resources.

"Haha, did you forget that we have the stash of the Alchemy Association\'s Vault? Gu Zhen might have used some of the medicines for evolving Alchemy Flame, but he was too careful with using them, and thus left the best for later, in case he encountered a precious Flame", he said with a bit of amusement as now it seemed that she wanted an outside reason to not make that decision herself.

"Aaigh! Fine! I get it", she made a slightly sulking expression as her attempt at persuading herself with objective outside reasons failed, her curiosity and experimenting spirit outweighing her worries under Wu Long\'s persuasion.

"Hahaha", he laughed with delight as she looked at him with a playfully sulking look, causing him to give her a kiss on the tip of the nose and then on the lips when she leaned up.

They prepared everything, and sitting in the same positions as during her cultivation of her Yin Root, she took the pill to evolve the Alchemy Flame, and started circulating the method he taught her.

"Fuu~..."

Some time later, she sighed with a slightly tired expression.

But as the Flame underwent the change...

*Rumble... rumble...*

Rumbling sounds came from the outside, and she noticed that Wu Long was looking up instead of at her.

Realizing what was happening she widened her eyes, and the two hurried outside where clouds were swirling above, with flashes of Lightning appearing here and there.

After all, they made precautions with her Yin Root, as it was possible to shield the Heavenly Daos from detecting that change happening, but an Earth Flame was something that was not within the scope of that measure, as it was something that Yu Huan had on her, not something native to her.

"Haha, maybe we should have done this on land...", Wu Long chuckled, looking up, and then weaving his hand around the beauty turned to her with a smiling face, "Don\'t worry, Huan\'er. This will be over quick"

The two flew up toward the cloud, and as the lightning struck, it fell into the open palm of Wu Long\'s raised arm, and then as if sucked into it the current connected to the center of his palm.

The amount of lightning bolts grew but they all connected to that one spot, as if there was a vortex completely devouring them.

Winds rose around the two as they climbed altitude, giant arcs of lightning connecting them to the swirling clouds above.

However, from a certain point on it did not look like the Lightning of Heavenly Punishment was falling on them, more like it was instead pulled by Wu Long out of the clouds by force.

Eventually, the clouds started showing less flashes and the currents hitting Wu Long\'s palm stopped, disappearing into it.

The clouds dissipated without anything to hold them down, and Wu Long\'s smile amid the breaking from the darkness sun reflected in the wide eyes of the beauty.

"I told you it would be over quick", he chuckled, and the two flew back down to the ship.
