The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 876: Heart of the Luminous Candle

As Little Ling spoke, her right hand extended outward, her fingers lightly pinching together. A flicker of crimson flame sprang out from her palm.

The flame carried a mysterious and profound aura.

Sensing this, Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao’s expressions immediately changed, a trace of shock appearing on their faces.

“Little Ling, you… is this a Dan Heart? What kind of Dan Heart is this?”

The unique aura unmistakably belonged to a Dan Heart wielder.

Before Little Ling could answer, Dantai Mingjing, who had not yet left, spoke up. “This girl has grasped the ‘Heart of the Luminous Candle.””

Upon hearing this name, Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao froze for a moment.

This unfamiliar term left them somewhat puzzled.

Dantai Mingjing went on to explain, “The Heart of the Luminous Candle is a mutated form of the Dan Heart. You can think of it as a combination of the Bright Spirit Dan Heart and the Celestial Candle Dan Crystal.

“It surpasses ordinary Dan Hearts like the Bright Spirit Dan Heart or the Ethereal Dan Heart in strength, but it doesn’t quite reach the level of your Control Dan Heart.

“However, this Luminous Candle Heart is very compatible with Little Ling. She has achieved perfection in its mastery. With this, she should have no problem standing out in the upcoming alchemy competition.

“I hadn’t mentioned it before because I didn’t want Little Ling to attract too much attention just yet.”

Dantai Mingjing didn’t give any more details. Before Su Jingzhen or Qiu Yaoyao could respond, he added, “Alright, you two can practice on your own for the next couple of days. I’ll leave now.”

As his voice faded, Dantai Mingjing’s figure disappeared right before their eyes.

Neither Su Jingzhen nor Qiu Yaoyao could detect how he had departed.

“That old man is always so mysterious,” Little Ling muttered with a slight pout.

However, Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao weren’t focused on Dantai Mingjing’s departure. Their curious gazes remained fixed on Little Ling.

Su Jingzhen didn’t waste any time. A streak of black light flashed from the Boundless Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, and Hei Shuang suddenly appeared before them, looking bewildered.

“Master, why did you summon me so suddenly?” Hei Shuang asked, confused by the unfamiliar surroundings.

“Spill some blood. I’ll give you a great fortune,” Su Jingzhen ordered without explanation.

Although confused, Hei Shuang didn’t hesitate. She immediately forced out a large amount of her Black Marsh Water Python Essence blood.

“Little Ling, hurry up and refine a Celestial Flood Dragon Pill. Let me see your skills,” Su Jingzhen said, tossing the pill recipe to her.

He could hardly wait to witness her abilities.

If Little Ling had truly reached the level of a fifth-grade alchemist, she would be the youngest one Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao had ever encountered. After all, Little Ling was probably only about seventeen years old.

With the Black Marsh Water Python’s blood and the recipe in her hand, Little Ling didn’t hesitate. She briefly studied the recipe before arranging the materials provided by Su Jingzhen.

Her right hand released another wave of energy, and an even fiercer crimson flame erupted.

Under Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao’s astonished gazes, Little Ling tossed the materials in her palm directly into the fire.

“Wait… don’t you need a Pill Cauldron?”

Little Ling’s actions completely challenged their understanding of alchemy.

Despite being a fifth grade alchemist and a Control Dan Heart wielder, Su Jingzhen’s knowledge of the broader alchemical arts was still quite limited.

Little Ling chuckled. “Brother Su, don’t you know? The greatest feature of the Candle Heart is that anything can serve as a cauldron, and pills can be refined in the palm of one’s hand.

“My hand is already the finest pill cauldron in the world.”

Her words left Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao completely stunned.

Even while conversing with them, Little Ling had already refined the first ingredient she had placed into her palm flame.

Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao fell silent, their curiosity and awe intensifying as they watched her continue.

Little Ling fully immersed herself in the process, skillfully tossing one ingredient after another into the flames.

With her five fingers trembling ever so slightly, the fire moved in a steady and controlled rhythm, perfectly under her command.

In less than the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, all the ingredients required for the Celestial Flood Dragon Pill were completely refined.

Everything was done with absolute perfection.

Without any hesitation, Little Ling fluidly poured the blood essence of Hei Shuang, the Black Marsh Water Python, into the flames.

At that instant, the flames in her palm flared up several meters high, becoming wild and untamed.

However, this only caused Little Ling’s expression to become slightly more focused. It posed no real threat to her.

Under the immense power of her divine consciousness and her unparalleled control over the flames, the blaze began to recede little by little.

When the fire returned to its original form, a faint aroma of medicinal fragrance wafted from within.

Obviously, the formation of the pill was almost complete within only a dozen breaths.

Su Jingzhen’s face lit up with excitement as he caught the scent, while Hei Shuang’s eyes gleamed with an intense light.

A moment earlier, she might not have fully understood what was happening. But as the fragrance of the pill spread, a sudden realization struck her-this pill would be of immense importance to her.

“Merge!”

The next moment, everyone heard Little Ling shout confidently. The flames in her palm completely stabilized.

As the fire dispersed, a perfectly smooth and radiant Celestial Flood Dragon Pill appeared in her hand.

On the pill’s surface, a shadow resembling a serpent and a flood dragon intertwined, its patterns vivid and lifelike.

Its shape was flawless, and the pill was of the highest quality – far superior to anything Su Jingzhen had made before.

“You little monster…”

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen was at a loss for words.

All he could feel was an overwhelming sense of awe and admiration.

He had always believed that his alchemy skills, augmented by systematic assistance, gave him an unparalleled edge. Surely, there was no other person like him in the cultivation world.

Yet now, Little Ling had proven to be even more monstrously talented than he was.

“Hehe, thank you, Elder Sister Hei.”

With a playful grin, Little Ling handed the freshly made Celestial Flood Dragon Pill to Hei Shuang, who was practically vibrating with excitement.

Hei Shuang didn’t hesitate. She bowed respectfully to Little Ling before eagerly swallowing the pill, like a fiery dragon devouring its prey.

Moments later, she requested Su Jingzhen to return her to the Boundless Spirit Beast Pouch. Clearly, she was preparing for a breakthrough.

“Luck played a part, and it helped that Sister Hei Shuang’s temperament is far less volatile than that of the previous Flame Flood Dragon. That’s why I was able to produce a pill of the highest quality.

“Otherwise, I’m still a notch below you in alchemy skills, Brother Su,” Little Ling said with a smile, as if she wanted to comfort Su Jingzhen.

However, her words left a trace of uncertainty as to whether she truly meant them.
