First Source Strange Flame

"Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame?!"

Xiao Yan looked at the pitch-black small flame in front of him, and he was certain that this was definitely not the real Void Swallowing Flame.

Because if the real Void Swallowing Flame were to be born, an entire country would be reduced to nothingness, completely burned into a land of nothing!

But what surprised Xiao Yan was that this was not a newly born Strange Flame either. Xiao Yan sensed through his Soul power that although this dark Strange Flame was very weak and did not have the terrifying energy of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, its Strange Flame Source was as mature as the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, definitely not a newly born Strange Flame.

Moreover, according to the Strange Flame Ranking List, there was only one Strange Flame in the top three in the entire world, and the entire Dou Qi Continent could not withstand the birth of another Strange Flame from the top three, which would require the power of heaven and earth.

"There is actually a so-called Sub-flame that even the mysterious Strange Flame Ranking List does not record."

At first, Xiao Yan was skeptical about the Sub-flame Hun Xuzi mentioned, thinking he was lying. Strange Flames were not living things, so how could they have children!

Even if they were living things, they would need the opposite gender to have children. There was only one Void Swallowing Flame in the entire Dou Qi Continent, so where would the second one come from to breed?

As a result, Xiao Yan was slapped in the face. Not only did it really exist, but a Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame appeared right in front of him!

[Jie Jie Jie, I have to say, your luck is really good, you actually encountered one. No one knows when a Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame will condense.]

Hearing Hun Xuzi's Soul Voice, Xiao Yan looked at the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-flame in front of him and asked curiously, "How is this Sub-flame produced? How can I refine it?"

[Jie Jie Jie, how the Void Swallowing Flame produces Sub-flames is a secret of my Soul Clan. As for how to refine it, although it is called a Sub-flame, its essence is the same as a Strange Flame, and there is no difference.]

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed. The production of Sub-flames was actually a secret of the Soul Clan? Didn't that mean that the Void Swallowing Flame's ability to produce Sub-flames was not its own power, but caused by the Soul Clan?!

With a nervous mood, Xiao Yan approached the Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame step by step. Xiao Yan had already learned the steps to refine a Strange Flame from a notebook in his Storage Ring, and he remembered every step by heart.

Now, he just needed to grab the Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame first, then exit the Treasure Hall and take the Sub-flame back to start refining.

Xiao Yan's throat bobbed, and his hands slowly closed in from the left and right, as carefully as if he were catching fish by the river as a child.

The movements were very gentle, slowly lifting the Sub-flame. The first feeling Xiao Yan had when he lifted it was warmth. The black flame not only didn't feel hot, but instead had a soft, comfortable warmth.

At this moment, Xiao Yan thought he was holding a newborn black kitten in his hands.

Suddenly, the dark flame opened a pair of eyes, and a sound came from the flame: "Meow~~"

"Huh?! A cat?!"

Xiao Yan was directly stunned. Before he could react, the Soul Token emitted a burst of light and directly sent Xiao Yan back because he had already taken the reward.

"Ha!" Xiao Yan woke up abruptly in reality, hurriedly stood up, and looked around.

"What's going on? Was it a dream?" Xiao Yan vaguely remembered that when he was about to bring the Strange Flame back, he seemed to hear a cat meow?! "Meow~"

"Yes, yes, that's the sound."

∑(っ°Д°;)っ Holy crap! Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head in the direction of the sound, only to see a small black cat, only the size of a fist, lazily lying on Xiao Yan's shoulder. After meowing, it stretched and covered its face with its paws, falling into a sweet sleep.

When Xiao Yan carefully observed, he discovered that the black fur on this little black cat was actually strands of flame! The black eyes were actually strands of Void Swallowing Flame jumping.

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something and took out a tattered ancient book from his Storage Ring, hurriedly flipping it open to a certain page.

"Strange Flame Spirit, a Strange Flame that has given birth to intelligence. Strange Flames are already difficult to be born, and only Strange Flames that have existed for an infinitely long time have the possibility of giving birth to intelligence. Strange Flames with intelligence can control their own Strange Flame, and their control over the Strange Flame surpasses that of an Alchemist in the Heaven Realm Soul realm."

Hiss hiss hiss!!!! Xiao Yan looked at this little black cat, only the size of a fist. This was actually an extremely rare Strange Flame Spirit?!

"No, this is not the real Void Swallowing Flame, and it has only just been born. The Void Swallowing Flame has indeed existed for a very long time, and it is not surprising that the main body is a Strange Flame Spirit. Could it be because this is the Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame, inheriting a bit of the Void Swallowing Flame's intelligence?!"

There was no doubt that although this Sub-flame was a Strange Flame Spirit, its intelligence was probably only like that of a newborn kitten.

Xiao Yan sat down cross-legged, gently holding the Void Swallowing Flame in his hands and placing it on his lap. If it were an ordinary Strange Flame, he would only need to absorb the Strange Flame Source, put it into the Soul Collection, and then circulate the Burning Skill to refine it to succeed.

But this thing had intelligence, which made Xiao Yan a little troubled.

"Hey, little guy, why don't you move to a new home? How about sleeping inside the Soul Collection?" He tried to reason with it.

The Void Swallowing Flame's little cat paw scratched its ear, ignoring Xiao Yan's attempt to reason with it.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he smiled slyly, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me."

If reasoning didn't work, then he would act first and report later! Xiao Yan took out the pill bottles containing the Ice Heart Pill and Vein Protecting Pill from his Storage Ring, threw two pills into his mouth, and placed the bottles on the ground in case he needed more.

These were pills to protect the meridians, a lower-level substitute for the items needed to absorb Strange Flames. Although this Sub-flame didn't feel warm to the touch and didn't seem to have any malice or resistance towards Xiao Yan.

But Xiao Yan hadn't forgotten that its birth had absorbed a lot of residual black fire.

As the Ice Heart Pill entered his body, an icy cold feeling spread down from his throat. His mind felt this cold sensation, and he shivered slightly. His gradually agitated heart was quickly melted and dissipated like residual snow encountering a blazing fire.

Xiao Yan slowly circulated the Burning Skill, and a wisp of yellow Dou Qi was released from his palm, enveloping the Void Swallowing Flame. As the Burning Skill operated, the Void Swallowing Flame transformed into a streak of black flame, smoothly entering the Qi vortex along his meridians. It entered the Soul Collection extremely smoothly, was refined extremely quickly, and was branded with Xiao Yan's Soul imprint.

It was so smooth that even Xiao Yan couldn't believe it. He had refined it so quickly?! Without the slightest resistance! But the next second, Xiao Yan was dumbfounded. The Void Swallowing Flame 'meowed' and, walking with cat-like steps, came out of the Soul Collection within his body, swaggering out of Xiao Yan's body! It even wagged its tail, as if mocking Xiao Yan, 'You think a small Soul Collection can trap this master?'

Xiao Yan now understood the first ability of this Strange Flame, the Void Swallowing Flame: freely traversing the void and reality.

Meow? The Void Swallowing Flame walked to the pill bottle on the ground, saw the round pills inside, reached out and flicked one out, putting it in its mouth and munching it.

!! The Void Swallowing Flame's eyes lit up instantly, and it grabbed all the Ice Heart Pills with one claw, putting them in its mouth and eating them.

"Oh ho, you like eating pills." Xiao Yan put the remaining Vein Protecting Pill bottle into his Storage Ring, his eyes filled with the expression a wicked uncle should have.

Seeing that the Void Swallowing Flame's Sub-flame didn't rush into the Storage Ring to snatch pills, Xiao Yan was secretly pleased: "As expected, even though the Void Swallowing Flame itself is the second-ranked Strange Flame, this newly born Sub-flame is far less powerful than the real Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and it doesn't dare to approach the Storage Ring."

Ordinary Strange Flames don't have intelligence, so refining the Strange Flame's origin is enough, but Strange Flames with intelligence can't just refine the Strange Flame's origin. Although refining the origin is equivalent to possessing the Strange Flame, it's troublesome if it has intelligence and runs around.

"Listen to me from now on, don't run around, and I guarantee you'll eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

Xiao Yan took out a Magic Core from a second-order Magical Beast. Feeling the majestic energy inside the Magic Core, the Void Swallowing Flame, which had been hesitant, could no longer resist, and hugged the Magic Core and began to gnaw on it.

Anyway, it had already recognized Xiao Yan as its caretaker, so it wouldn't wrong itself!
