At this moment, the joy in Qin Yongping's heart surged like a roaring ocean, crashing wave after wave against his psychological defenses. Originally, he had come with the sole intention of learning about various rare flames of heaven and earth, but never did he expect that by simply trying to cultivate pill fire without wasting a single second, he would trigger such an astonishing transformation.
His pill fire had initially been golden, but as he continuously poured spiritual power and mental energy into it, coupled with the energy the pill fire itself devoured, it finally settled into a deep and mysterious azure blue, advancing continuously. This process felt like a gorgeous and brilliant visual feast, leaving Qin Yongping dumbfounded and unable to believe everything happening before his eyes. Yet even more shocking was yet to come: the pill fire had successfully swallowed the Diyou Flame, which ranked thirty-sixth on the Flame Rankings.
Just as Qin Yongping was immersed in the tremendous sense of achievement brought by this unexpected harvest, he suddenly realized that very little time remained before the closure of the Grotto-heaven. Quickly collecting his thoughts, he slowly drew the immensely precious pill fire back into his body and walked briskly toward the exit with a radiant, irrepressible smile.
