Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Meng Yu Rescued
Jade Bone Ice Fire, its name is not just for show. Its color is like jade and bone; while other flames produce heat waves, it brings a chill to those who approach, as if nearing ice instead of fire.
"Open your mouth." Qin Sisi turned her head and shouted at Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng snapped out of her thoughts, her heart involuntarily racing, and quickly opened her mouth wide.
She knew very well that the process of fusing Divine Fire would be painful, but gaining Divine Fire is an exceedingly rare opportunity. What does a little suffering matter?
Qin Sisi retracted her Sun’s True Fire, and with a light flick of her finger, she sent a tiny flame of Jade Bone Ice Fire into Xiao Meng’s mouth.
Xiao Meng closed her mouth and swallowed hard, her mouth and throat instantly felt as if frozen by ice, making it difficult to breathe. Yet amidst the cold, there was a burning sensation of intense pain.
Quickly, her stomach and abdomen felt the same, cold and hot; eventually, her whole body stiffened, as if frozen solid, while simultaneously being roasted by fire.
Her body felt cold yet hot, an indescribable agony.
"Sit cross-legged and use your magic power to capture it." Qin Sisi saw Xiao Meng’s helplessness and immediately gave her instructions.
Xiao Meng promptly followed Qin Sisi’s words, sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing her eyes, coalescing her Divine Sense, focusing entirely on the Magic Source, then releasing her magic power to roam within, trying to capture Jade Bone Ice Fire into her Magic Source.
But despite her trying for a while, she couldn’t do it. To make Jade Bone Ice Fire accept a new master in a short time is not an easy task. Under the pursuit of the magic power, Jade Bone Ice Fire roamed throughout Xiao Meng’s body but refused to enter the Magic Source.
Xiao Meng was nearly at her limit, unable to withstand the prolonged invasion of the Divine Fire.
Qin Sisi, showing signs of urgency, sat in front of Xiao Meng, placed her palm over Xiao Meng’s Tan Zhong point, and input a trace of Fire Attribute Magic Power into her body.
She had Xiao Meng dispel the magic power chasing the Jade Bone Ice Fire, then halting her Fire Attribute Magic Power nearby Xiao Meng’s Magic Source, gently oscillating.
Without the chase of magic power, Jade Bone Ice Fire instead settled down, wandering boredly in Xiao Meng’s body, finally attracted by Qin Sisi’s trace of Sun’s True Fire magic power, slowly approaching Xiao Meng’s Magic Source.
Both Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng were a bit tense, anxiously waiting for the arrival of Jade Bone Ice Fire. Finally, Jade Bone Ice Fire neared the magic power of the Sun’s True Fire, and also Xiao Meng’s Magic Source.
The opportunity arose; Xiao Meng swiftly released a large range of magic power, enveloping Jade Bone Ice Fire, seizing the chance to pull it into her Magic Source.
At first, Jade Bone Ice Fire struggled frantically, but having entered the Magic Source, there was no way Xiao Meng would let it out again.
After a series of struggles and taming, Jade Bone Ice Fire seemed to realize it couldn’t escape, and reluctantly calmed down.
Xiao Meng opened her eyes joyfully and said to Qin Sisi, "Sister Sisi, I did it!"
Qin Sisi smiled and nodded, reminding her, "This is just the first step. To completely fuse Divine Fire requires a considerably long time; you must be patient."
Xiao Meng immediately replied, "Sister Sisi, don’t worry, I understand."
Qin Sisi helped Xiao Meng stand up. Xiao Meng stretched her somewhat stiff body, then turned to face Qin Sisi, her expression turning serious as she solemnly bowed to Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi knew Xiao Meng was expressing gratitude and gently said, "You don’t need to be formal; it’s what you deserve."
Xiao Meng lifted her head and earnestly said, "Sister Sisi, I’ve never bowed to you before, but this time, I must sincerely thank you."
The Muyin family is the best at alchemy, but without Divine Fire, even the most gifted alchemist finds it difficult to practice alchemy to a high degree, leaving the Muyin family in a perpetual awkward position.
Qin Sisi helped Xiao Meng acquire Jade Bone Ice Fire, opening a new era for the Muyin family. Blessed with an innate Wood Attribute, plus Divine Fire, Xiao Meng’s alchemy would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
If Xiao Meng’s alchemy reaches a high level, it wouldn’t just be her personal glory but the glory of the Muyin family too.
Indeed, after obtaining the Jade Bone Ice Fire, through arduous efforts, Xiao Meng became the second most prestigious Alchemy Master in the Demon Sacred Realm after Ye You, and also one of the greatest Clan Leaders of the Muyin family. But that’s a story for later.
Seeing that Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng completed the transfer of Jade Bone Ice Fire, Yun Cheng, who had been watching the situation attentively, rushed over and said hurriedly, "Meng Yu has been rescued!"
Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng were both startled, looking toward the spot where Meng Yu had been lying, but indeed, Meng Yu’s figure was gone, leaving only a filthy blood stain on the ground.
"When did it happen?" Qin Sisi asked Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng quickly replied, "While you were helping Xiao Meng fuse Divine Fire, a shadow flashed by and took Meng Yu away. I was afraid of interrupting you, so I didn’t speak up."
Qin Sisi recalled that while assisting Xiao Meng in fusing Jade Bone Ice Fire, she was indeed focused, not paying much attention to Meng Yu’s situation. Xiao Meng was absorbed with her battle with the Divine Fire, unable to spare extra attention, and concerned that Meng Yu’s noise might distract Xiao Meng. They even kept some distance from her.
That shadow chose the perfect opportunity, or perhaps he had been lurking in the darkness waiting for the chance!
"Could you tell who it was?" Qin Sisi continued to question Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng replied, somewhat embarrassed, "It was too fast, I couldn’t see clearly. Plus, at that moment, the surrounding buildings seemed to wobble, nothing could be seen, and even directions were indiscernible."
"It’s an Illusion Technique!" Xiao Meng immediately exclaimed, "I have encountered this feeling in Len Yue’s illusion place before."
Qin Sisi nodded, "It probably is. That person used Illusion Technique to deceive everyone’s eyes, taking Meng Yu away and leaving us with no trail to follow."
Yun Cheng pondered for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Speaking of Illusion Techniques, I suddenly thought of someone whose body shape resembles that shadow."
"Who?" Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng asked in unison.
Yun Cheng pressed his lips, and whispered two words, "An Yun."
An Yun, their former classmate, from the Phantom Spirit family, held affection toward Meng Yu, loyal and unwavering.
"It’s very possible," Qin Sisi muttered contemplatively.
Xiao Meng raised her chin and said loudly, "Whoever it might be, I refuse to believe it; with so many of us, we can’t catch those two lost hounds? I’ll immediately lead a team to pursue them; we’ll definitely drag them out!"
