Battle Through The Heavens: Domination of The Ancient God.

The wisp of dark golden flame mixed with Xiao Ning's dou qi entered Ya Fei's body, and she gasped. Contrary to her expectations, a soft and warm qi flowed through her qi pathway. 

'What a pure qi,' she thought.

Xiao Ning's qi, with a wisp of golden flame, acted as a magnet, pulling Ya Fei's dou qi from within her qi cyclone. 

"Circulate according to your Qi Method," Xiao Ning whispered. 

"Un." 

Ya Fei circulated her dou qi according to her qi method, and along with it, Xiao Ning's qi followed. After each revolution, his qi merged and refined her dou qi. Simultaneously, the wisp of flame warmed and nourished her Qi Pathways. 

After several revolutions, Ya Fei completely refined Xiao Ning's qi. As a result, her dou qi became slightly pure.

Usually, only a strong cultivator with strength above Dou Emperor can accomplish this feat of laying a solid foundation for others. But, this method is not widely spread, as it is incredibly tiring, and one can achieve a similar effect with pills. 

Being an alchemist, Xiao Ning clearly understood its flaw and the price he needed to pay. But, he still chose it because he had little time. Only in this way can he help Ya Fei attain unprecedented strength in a short period. 

Not everyone can use it even if they want to; Xiao Ning is different. There is a vast difference between Xiao Ning and Ya Fei's Qi Methods. Moreover, Xiao Ning also had the help of a heavenly flame. 

......

The two sat in the same position for the rest of the day. From time to time, Xiao Ning kept providing his qi mixed with a wisp of dark golden flame for Ya Fei to refine. 

As time passed, Ya Fei's murky-red dou qi slowly changed its color to bright red. In the process, her Qi Pathways also became sturdier and broader. Ya Fei's realm dropped to 2-star Dou practitioner, but her foundation became much more stable. 

With her current foundation, she could easily cross a few sub-ranks and beat cultivators of the late Dou practitioner realm using no dou skill. 

Xiao Ning and Ya Fei stopped as the moon replaced the sun in the sky. Xiao Ning had reached his limit for today; he needed to restore his dou qi and rest to restore his mental strength. 

Ya Fei slowly opened her eyes; after noticing her changes, she turned around and hugged Xiao Ning. 

Feeling the soft body in his embrace, Xiao Ning felt his efforts were worth it. 

After sensing the changes in Xiao Ning's body, Ya Fei noticed she wasn't wearing anything to cover her upper body, and her face turned red, like a tomato. 

She struggled to get out of his arms, but how could Xiao Ning let her go? Finally, he lowered his head and kissed her. After a few seconds, Ya Fei stopped struggling and started responding back. 

Compared to the cold outside, the atmosphere within the cave grew hot. As a result, the two melted into each other's bodies. 

......

For the next four days, during the day, Ya Fei would refine the qi, temper herself with the wisp of flame, and at night, they would be intimate. 

On the sixth day, Ya Fei's foundation became robust; in terms of potential alone, she could rank among the top three in Jia Ma Empire. In the process, her strength soared again to 9-star Dou Practitioner. 

Even with the low-rank black tier Qi Method, her dou qi was bright-red in color; its purity was comparable to the earth rank Qi Method. 

One can imagine how strong will she would become if Ya Fei changed her current Qi Method to an earth rank Qi Method!

Xiao Ning witnessed her changes himself, but his face didn't show any fluctuations. The real thing was yet to come. Yes! In his eyes, this was just the foundation; one needed to be qualified to refine the heavenly flame. Otherwise, it is purely courting death. 

"Fei'er, now the real thing begins." Xiao Ning's face became solemn. He took out a jade bottle from his storage ring with a red-gold pill. With a single look, one could guess it was a high-tier pill. 

Next, he took out 'Icy Spirit Cold Fountain.' The moment he placed it on the ground, its surrounding became cold. 

A faint shock appeared in her eyes after she saw the additional material Xiao Ning had prepared for her. 

Ya Fei followed his instructions. She sat cross-legged and swallowed the red-gold pill. The next moment, the pill melted in her mouth and released mellow energy. She also sensed something else in it but couldn't guess its origin. 

Every cell in her body greedily absorbed the mellow energy. In a few seconds, her skin started sparkling. 

Xiao Ning, who was guarding her, saw this, and a green flame appeared in his left palm, and a dark-golden flame appeared in his right palm. 

He flicked his right palm, and the golden flame expanded in size, forming a barrier covering Xiao Ning and Ya Fei. The next moment, Xiao Ning severed his connection with the Green Lotus Core Flame. 

His face paled, and the gentle green flame that was flickering over his palm recovered its ferocity. The Green Lotus Core Flame suddenly grew in size, and the surrounding temperature skyrocketed. 

Xiao Ning remained calm as if he had already expected it. Immediately, a sacred aura burst from Xiao Ning's body and locked onto the heavenly flame. 

The Green Lotus Core Flame shivered after feeling the noble aura, and it again became docile; the rapidly increasing temperature dropped back. Finally, Xiao Ning compressed the flame back into its original form.

"Drink it." 

Ya Fei picked up the jade bottle containing 'Icy Spirit Cold Fountain' and drank in one go. The icy sensation caused her to tremble a few times, but she didn't frown. 

The icy mist spread through her body and covered her qi pathways with a layer of ice. 

With everything ready, Xiao Ning sat in front of her; he raised the heavenly flame to her mouth, and with a slightly shaking arm; he fed her. Even the reduced temperature burned Ya Fei's lips. 

Although Xiao Ning had prepared thoroughly, his preparation was ten times more than what Yao Lao had asked Xiao Yan to prepare. 

While refining the pill for her, he even added a drop of his blood essence and raised its quality by many times. The pill prepared was to protect Ya Fei and strengthen her bloodline. 

The heavenly flame seemed the perfect catalyst for the task. However, from the beginning, Xiao Ning's plan was not just to give her a heavenly flame but also to raise her bloodline. 

Now, apart from Medusa, Ya Fei is the only one who got an opportunity that is even rarer than possessing a heavenly flame.
