Chapter 5

After getting the technique he wanted, immediately Ye Zhao rushed out of the room to meet She Lang to ask for more information regarding the things required to carry out the technique.

Knowing that his body is now 18 years old signifies that the age requirement has been met. He only needed "Heavenly Flames" and "Spiritual Spring". Regarding his strong determination and the pain he would face later, Ye Zhao was still quite sure of himself.

In his previous life he managed to undergo very difficult training relying solely on willpower and managed to escape death many times.

….

When Ye Zhao came out of the room, what he saw was She Lang who was in the living room with his small body sitting on a chair like a noble drinking tea, somehow it felt very funny "How adorable", Ye Zhao thought.

Ye Zhao sat on the chair next to She Lang and poured himself some tea, "What a delicious tea," Ye Zhao said as he tasted the delicious tea. And after tasting it, the fatigue that his body felt was instantly replaced by freshness.

"Hmm… Of course. How come? It is spiritual tea", replied She Lang sneering at Ye Zhao's naughtiness, even though he knew that after all it was Ye Zhao's first time tasting it because it couldn't even have existed in Ye Zhao's previous life.

Not wanting to argue with the little boy, Ye Zhao immediately asked what he needed, "From what is written in this manual, to reshape a spirit root requires heavenly flames and spiritual springs. Do you know where I can get it?"

"You don't need to look for it, whether it's because of your luck or maybe the original owner has predicted the future, both of those things already exist in this Pocket Dimension?"

"Oh, then where are those two things?"

Ye Zhao himself had some doubts about the original owner, how could the original owner have left these two precious things in this Pocket Dimension? "Is this really a coincidence? Or has the original owner predicted about me?" Ye Zhao monologued in his heart.

"The pond next to this house is a spiritual spring. Luckily even though the Spiritual Qi in this Pocket Dimension is reduced from its peak state, the spiritual spring is still functioning although its effectiveness may decrease."

"That doesn't matter, the spiritual spring is still useful," said Ye Zhao, "Then about the Heavenly Flames, where is it?" Ye Zhao asked further.

She Lang didn't answer Ye Zhao's question right away, but he got up and went to the second room that Ye Zhao hadn't had the chance to enter before.

"Follow me!" She Lang's instructions to Ye Zhao

Seeing She Lang walking on his two little feet, it was a funny sight for Ye Zhao who was following closely behind.

Entering the room, Ye Zhao saw a collection of cupboards with labels that Ye Zhao thought were the names of spiritual plants. Ye Zhao guessed that this room might be the spiritual plant the previous owner used to concoct poison.

"This room contains the seeds and spiritual plants used by the previous owner to concoct poison. However, I have discarded all the spiritual plants and most of the seeds, because the spiritual plants have lost their usefulness. Now only the seeds of this spiritual plant remain," explained She Lang.

"This room contains the seeds of spiritual plants, but aren't we looking for Heavenly Flames?" Ye Zhao asked doubtfully.

"What do you know?! The previous owner kept the spiritual flames here because after all it was poisonous and maybe the previous owner categorized the things in this room according to their poisonous nature?"

"Poisonous Flames?" Ye Zhao wondered because really even though he had read some of the information regarding spiritual flames, after all it was only general information, not detailed information. Possibly, more information regarding spiritual flames was recorded in scrolls or other books that he had not read.

She Lang didn't answer Ye Zhao's question, but took out a black box from the chest of drawers.

"In this box is the spiritual flames you are looking for. Don't ask why flames was put in this box. This box is made of a mixture of various special materials, especially the 'Yin Black Iron' which can withstand the heat of spiritual flames. As for the spiritual flames in this box, it is the spiritual flames of an ancient Divine Beast called the 'Jade Sky Emperor Serpent'"

She Lang explained about the black box, because he knew that Ye Zhao must be wondering why the spiritual flames was put in the iron box.

"Don't blame me for asking, you have to accept it anyway because I'm new to cultivation," Ye Zhao argued.

Then She Lang explained that the spiritual flames was of the Beast Flames, which was the flames of the ancient Divine Beast "Jade Sky Emperor Serpent". The Jade Sky Emperor Serpent itself was a Divine Beast on par with the Azure Dragon, Xuanwu Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Demon Phoenix and Qilin. It was just that the Jade Sky Emperor Serpent was already extinct first.

Regarding the spiritual flames, it is called the "Poison Jade Flames". This is because the flames is yin and poisonous. Its flames can be corrosive to what it touches. Apart from that, the Poison Jade Flames was ranked 7th on the "Heavenly Flames" list. The flames are no less powerful than the "Phoenix Flames".

Then She Lang gave the box to Ye Zhao and didn't forget to remind him, "Don't open it now, however you can't handle the heat and you can open it when you practice the technique."

Actually, there was another reason why She Lang told Ye Zhao not to open it immediately. After all, those spiritual flames came from Divine Beasts. Even though She Lang himself was a snake with the "Nine-Headed Fierce Hydra" bloodline which was also an ancient snake-type Divine Beast, it could only be counted as an impure bloodline. After all, the bloodline concentration he had was extremely thin.

For this reason, the presence of the spiritual flames was able to suppress She Lang a little. Even though it was only a spiritual flames, it also had traces of remnants of the Sky Jade Emperor Serpent after all.
