As it happened, Han Lin was just passing by and saw Senior Sister Ye Hong slay a six-meter-long giant python, a mid-tier level-four spiritual beast. He immediately praised, "Senior Sister's Snow Shadow Sword Technique is truly formidable." Seeing the carcass of the giant python lying on the ground, with blood staining the earth, Han Lin recalled a technique from the *Blazing Flame Skill-Absorbing Art* he had studied, one that could refine toxic giant pythons with fire to evaporate their venom, harvesting their essence blood, which was immensely useful for healing injuries. Moreover, it could also increase one's cultivation base, provided it was burned and refined into pure spiritual power.
Without wasting any time explaining, he instantly unleashed the Blazing Flame Skill-Absorbing Art, nineteenth form: Incinerating and Refining Blood. Reciting the incantation, a ball of red-and-yellow flames enveloped the crystal-ice python, though a difficulty immediately presented itself.
The ice crystals inside the giant python had to be melted before it could be burned and refined, so he deployed the third form of the *Heavenly Sun and Earthly Fire*: Heavenly Fire Extinguishing Ice.
