Chapter 225: Treating Gu He

Before telling the story of how he was injured, Gu He looked at Xiao Ming with a mixture of envy and admiration.

"Master Xiao Ming, I presume you possess a Heavenly Flame?"

'What! He has a Heavenly Flame!?' Liu Ling, Gu He's disciple, who was standing next to him, was shocked upon hearing this.

As a disciple of Gu He, he knew very well how precious a Heavenly Flame was. In fact, Gu He had ended up in his current state because he had obtained the rare and precious Heavenly Flame and had been followed and ambushed by someone.

Yun Yun, who was standing next to him, was also a little surprised. However, after considering the fact that Xiao Ming was now a Dou Ancestor at such a young age, she realized that this kind of existence was probably even rarer than a Heavenly Flame on the Dou Qi Continent.

After thinking about this, she was no longer that surprised.

"Yes, I do possess a Heavenly Flame," Xiao Ming confirmed with a nod. "You discovered it two years ago when I was refining a Zong Breaking Pill for the Jia Ma Imperial Family, correct?"

Gu He let out a bitter smile and replied, "That's correct, Master Xiao Ming. To be honest, I have been searching for the Heavenly Flame for many years and have traveled to many exotic places within the Jia Ma Empire in search of it. However, I had yet to find it."

"After discovering that you possess a Heavenly Flame, I became more and more eager to obtain it. I increased the time I spent outside looking for it and the scope of my search."

"My efforts eventually paid off when I found the Heavenly Flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, in Tager Desert."

'Wind Fury Dragon Flame?' Xiao Ming was surprised to hear this. He did not expect that Gu He would be able to encounter the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

The probability of encountering this particular Heavenly Flame was extremely low, even lower than winning the lottery. In fact, despite searching for it multiple times in the Simulator, Xiao Ming had not even seen a trace of it. It seemed that Gu He's luck was quite good.

"I had a hard time capturing the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, but I eventually managed to do so. I then headed to one of the mountains surrounding the Tager Desert to try to devour it. After years of searching for the Heavenly Flame, I had prepared everything I needed. Just as I was about to begin the process, a black-robed man suddenly burst in and attacked me when I was caught off guard," Gu He explained, his voice trembling with anger as he spoke of the black-robed man.

"The place I chose was absolutely secret, and I had isolated my aura from the surrounding area, that damn black-robed man definitely had his eyes on me for a long time! "

"The black-robed man was not weak, and under his sneak attack, I was directly seriously injured, and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame was also snatched away by him, if not for some of my hidden cards to save my life, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return to the Misty Cloud Sect, but even if I did return, I still suffered these injuries."

As Gu He spoke, he slowly removed his upper body clothing to reveal the right half of his body which was covered in severe burns. The skin was bluish and veins were exposed, with faint white crystals shining above.

"The person who attacked me also had a Heavenly Flame, and this is the injury he caused me."

Gu He then added, apparently worried about being misunderstood. "I don't mean to imply anything else; the aura of that Heavenly Flame was completely different from your Heavenly Flame, Master Xiao Ming."

Hearing Gu He's story, Xiao Ming couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief. This man was truly unlucky. He had stumbled upon a Heavenly Flame due to sheer luck, only for it to be taken away and for him to be severely injured.

"So, this wound was inflicted by the Heavenly Flame and it hasn't been able to heal, correct? Can you feel what is stopping you from healing?" asked Xiao Ming.

"There are some white crystals on my body, likely formed by the Heavenly Flame using a special technique. These crystals have been consuming my Dou Qi, and if I take healing pills, they absorb the medicinal power, which leads me to suspect that the person who attacked me may also be a Master Alchemist," Gu He replied.

Xiao Ming: "..."

How was this becoming more and more similar?

"Let me take a look."

Xiao Ming placed his hand on Gu He's arm and sent his soul power into him to examine the extent of his injuries.

The results confirmed what Gu He had described: the right half of his body was badly burned and there were numerous white crystals that seemed to be preventing the healing process. These crystals were sticking to his meridians, blood vessels, and bones and were causing his fire-attribute Dou Qi to be trapped as it passed through.

After thoroughly examining Gu He's injuries, Xiao Ming withdrew his hand and opened his eyes.

Yun Yun asked, "Master Xiao Ming, how is the injury? Is it easy to heal?"

But instead of answering Yun Yun's question, Xiao Ming asked Gu He, "How do you think it should be treated?"

"If it were me, I would refine a sixth-tier healing pill with ice-attribute Dou Qi, so that when the small crystals absorb the medicinal power, they would be frozen and countered. This would prevent any danger of the small ice crystals activating with the fire attribute," Gu He suggested.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "What you said is a solution, but I have a simpler solution. I can use the Heavenly Flame to directly devour the crystals in your body."

This statement surprised Gu He and he burst out laughing, "I almost forgot about the Heavenly Flame. Your solution is much less complicated."

As he said that, Gu He felt more and more indignant in his heart towards the black-robed man who had stolen the Heavenly Flame from him.

Yun Yun then stood up and said, "Since you have a solution, Master Xiao Ming, I would like to ask you as a favor to help treat Elder Gu He. Once the matter is resolved, my Misty Cloud Sect will offer you a reward that will satisfy you."

Xiao Ming simply responded, "It's no big deal."

Yun Yun and Liu Ling then left the room to give Xiao Ming and Gu He some privacy.

...

In the room, Xiao Ming raised his right hand slowly and a strand of crimson flame appeared above his hand.

Looking at the flame on Xiao Ming's hand, Gu He's inner envy was almost uncontainable.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming did not let out the Heavenly Flame to annoy Gu He, but instead, with a wave of his hand, sent it straight towards Gu He's body.

Suddenly receiving this blow, Gu He let out a choked growl and his body trembled fiercely.

"Sorry, I forgot to warn you beforehand." Looking at Gu He's painful appearance, Xiao Ming apologized.

It was not his intention, the way Gu He looked at Ten Thousand Beast Flame just now made him a little speechless, so he wanted to hurry up and finish the job.

"It's alright, you can continue." Forcing himself to endure the pain, Gu He said.

"Fine."

With his finger pointed at Gu He's back, Xiao Ming was serious as his soul power controlled the wisp of red flame, quickly transporting through some major meridians before gradually approaching above the bones and meridians that were covered in white crystals.

As the flame approached, the white ice crystals began to activate but were soon engulfed by the flame until they disappeared.

After devouring the crystals in one area, the red flames quickly moved on to the next, and during this process, time passed slowly.
