The Treatment

The next morning, Tian Wenjin rode the morning breeze to Dan Peak. She found Qin Ran at the log cabin and took out two stacked boxes, saying, "Mad Flame Crystal and Demon Pill."

Qin Ran was drawing boundary lines on the ground. Hearing this, he was very surprised. He put down the mud ash, got up, and took the boxes from Tian Wenjin. He discovered that there really was a Mad Flame Crystal and a demon pill from the Lionheart Raging Flame Beast inside. He closed the boxes, frowning as he looked over Tian Wenjin, and asked, "How did you accomplish this?!"

"She sold her life sword," Li Shiyin said, jumping out of a mud pit holding a broken sword, with a complicated expression.

She had just seen under the mud pit that Tian Wenjin had flown over using a flight magic technique, rather than riding a sword over.

Qin Ran looked deeply at Tian Wenjin. The cultivation world... No, this world surprisingly still has such a sentimental and righteous woman, which is truly admirable.

He didn't say anything more. He directly took Tian Wenjin to the first floor earth flame chamber in the research building. Last night, he had simply made a bed there for Huang Feiyu and housed him here.

"The treatment is divided into three steps. First, use the demon pill to change Huang Feiyu's physique into that of a Lionheart Raging Flame Beast. Second, fuse the Mad Flame Crystal with Huang Feiyu's golden core to replace his golden core. Third, during the fusion process between the Mad Flame Crystal and golden core, remove his heart and let the lionheart flame replace his heart. Finally, if the lionheart flame connects to the Mad Flame Crystal, then it will be considered a success." Qin Ran briefly introduced Tian Wenjin to the treatment plan.

But Tian Wenjin only said, "I don't understand. I'll have to completely rely on Martial Uncle."

Qin Ran sighed. When God opens a door for you, he never forgets to close a window. It seemed that Tian Wenjin was the same as Li Shiyin - beautiful on the outside, extremely talented, but exasperatingly lacking in learning ability.

"Then you two can watch here. I'm going to concoct pills," he said.

"Concoct pills?" Tian Wenjin asked.

"Changing his physique will be a gradual and lengthy process," Qin Ran still explained. "I will refine the demon pills into medicinal pills and use medicinal baths to temper and change his physique."

"Oh," Tian Wenjin nodded. She felt like an idiot or a puppet. It was better not to speak.

"Master..." At this time, Li Shiyin suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Didn't you say Martial Brother Huang has a water spirit root? How can a water spirit root fuse with the fire-attributed Mad Flame Crystal?!"

"Hm?" Qin Ran's eyes lit up as he looked towards Li Shiyin. Could he have underestimated this foolish disciple? She was actually able to notice this kind of issue! But at a glance, he saw Long Qiqi next to Li Shiyin and instantly understood...

He had gotten excited over nothing. He had thought his foolish disciple had become enlightened.

"The lionheart flame has been burning inside him for a long time. Not to mention the water inside his golden core, even the water in his spirit root has been burned away," although Long Qiqi was the one who had asked, he still explained: "Currently, there is only pure mana left in his golden core without any attributes."

"Oh!" Li Shiyin nodded vaguely.

"Then Master..." She was about to ask another question.

"Alright!" Qin Ran raised his hand to stop her and pointed at Long Qiqi, "Ask her yourself!"

Long Qiqi then walked out timidly and said, "During the treatment, you're integrating the demon pills and removing his heart. How can you ensure he won't die during the process? Also, how can you ensure perfect integration between the demon pill and human without rejection?"

"The essence of this treatment is to substitute his body with the demon pills and his golden core with the Mad Flame Crystal. If his body rejects the demon pill, then abandon the body. If the Mad Flame Crystal rejects the golden core, then abandon the golden core," Qin Ran said. "As for whether he'll die or not, that depends on luck... Humans can die from death of the flesh, brain death, or death of the soul. His body is already dead. I will use techniques and pills to ensure his brain and soul don't die. But whether he can survive after the treatment, I don't know."

"Aren't you artificially creating a humanoid Lionheart Raging Flame Beast?" Long Qiqi understood and voiced her doubts.

Qin Ran laughed. He looked at Long Qiqi and said, "Child, you've touched upon the crux of this treatment method."

After some time, Qin Ran went to refine the demon pills into medicine pills... Not actually medicine pills, but he had added herbs to make the demonic energy in the demon pills become milder.

Then he came back and drove away the idle people from the earth flame chamber. Qin Ran took out various pills next to Huang Feiyu - Spirit Fusing Pill, Great Returning Pill, Longevity Pill, Ice Sealing Pill, and so on. Finally, he looked at the young man and sighed, "I can only hope you won't fail to live up to such a good girl."

Using top-quality Great Returning Pills to treat the body, Ice Sealing Pills to neutralize the flame intensity, then separating the soul, Qin Ran protected Huang Feiyu's sea of consciousness. Gripping scalding pills refined from the demon pills of the top-tier level 4 Lionheart Raging Flame Beast, he took a deep breath, activated the earth flame, and sent Huang Feiyu's body above it. At the same time, he placed the demon pills between Huang Feiyu and the earth flame.

The earth flame surged upwards, burning the demon pills and roasting Huang Feiyu... The berserk demonic energy within the demon pills from the Lionheart Raging Flame Beast evaporated under the stimulation of the earth flame. Then it was burned by the earth flame into Huang Feiyu's body.

Qin Ran's profound mana like a great sea surged out. He simultaneously controlled the size of the earth flame, the changes in demonic energy, protected Huang Feiyu's body, and continuously threw out pills and herbs...

It was hard to believe this was something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could do.

Outside the research building by the riverbank, two beauties and a little one.

Tian Wenjin's face was full of worry. She hugged herself and soullessly watched the distance - this was a family member anxiously awaiting news outside the ER.

Li Shiyin squatted by the riverside, waving her hands to play with Shadowchaser in the water. Tigers were the only felines that liked playing in water. When the weather grew hotter, Shadowchaser loved to blow bubbles in the water. They were two silly children.

Long Qiqi knit her brows, pinching her chin, lost in thought. She was a cold-blooded, ruthless schemer.

At some point, a wildly fierce and powerful aura suddenly dispersed from the research building, striking fear into people's hearts because that was the aura of the top-tier level 4 Lionheart Raging Flame Beast.

This aura made Shadowchaser pause his play and blink his big eyes curiously. It made Long Qiqi's back turn cold, almost causing her to transform back into her original shape. Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin looked back at the research building, worried that something had happened.

After quite a while, the aura finally receded and Long Qiqi regained her calm. She looked at Tian Wenjin then Li Shiyin and asked, "What is your master's level of cultivation?"

"Late Foundation Establishment," Li Shiyin answered.

"What level is the Lionheart Raging Flame Beast?" Long Qiqi asked again.

"Golden... Golden Core?" Li Shiyin said uncertainly.

But when Tian Wenjin heard Long Qiqi's words, she realized something and her expression changed as she looked over in shock.

"Have any of you thought..." Long Qiqi's tender voice rang out, "With Qin Ran's late Foundation Establishment cultivation, how can he control the Golden Core demonic energy of a Lionheart Raging Flame Beast?!"

No one had thought about it...

Purely because she panicked, Tian Wenjin subconsciously believed her Martial Uncle's cultivation level would be very high too.

As for Li Shiyin, she thought her master was invincible in the world. Also, how could her sly old fox master possibly make such a low-level mistake?

But now hearing Long Qiqi's reminder, Tian Wenjin... Only Tian Wenjin realized things. Li Shiyin still didn't think it was a big deal. Tian Wenjin's face greatly changed and she turned to run into the research building, wanting to stop Qin Ran's treatment.

But Li Shiyin reacted quickly. Her figure flashed and she arrived before Tian Wenjin, saying to her: "You aren't allowed to go in!"

Without another word, Tian Wenjin chopped out a palm towards Li Shiyin. Thunder and lightning carried on her palm and was extremely overbearing. Li Shiyin simply shifted sideways and her upraised right hand formed a sword. Sword energy surged from it as she drew it across, easily severing the thunder and lightning.

"Sword energy?!" Tian Wenjin recognized it and couldn't help but stop.

"You can't beat me. It's best if you obediently stay here," Li Shiyin probed Tian Wenjin's skill with one exchange. In conclusion, Tian Wenjin only had superficial cultivation without any techniques. Her cultivation was hollow and she had no power to fight her. Li Shiyin lifted her chin arrogantly like a proud swan and said, "That's my master inside. If even I am not worried, why are you worried?"

After being impulsive, Tian Wenjin also calmed down. She took two deep breaths and finally didn't continue walking inside.

Not long after they faced off, Qin Ran walked out from the research building, having already changed his clothes and wiping sweat off himself. He said to Tian Wenjin, "The surgery... the transformation went very smoothly, but whether he lives or not depends on himself."
