nHe was suddenly startled by Little Xie’s words and was stunned for a moment.

nWhat do you mean ‘ you don’t want to go’? Did she think that I was going to chase her away?

nNo, he had never forced Little Xie to stay by his side, so how could he chase her away?

nAt this time, he seemed to realize that Little Xie might have misunderstood something, so he sighed and said with a light smile.

n“Little Xie, come out first.”

n“I don’t want to!”

nLittle Xie’s somewhat stubborn voice sounded in his mind. It seemed that she really thought that Su Yi would chase her away.

nIn the past, Su Yi had said that whether she left or not was her business, and he would not stop her. However, they had been together for so long, and if Little Xie had taken the initiative to leave him, he would even be a little reluctant. How could he chase her away?

nHence, he took out the mysterious piece of iron from the imprint space, with Little Xie residing within it. He touched the mysterious piece of iron a little, only to see Little Xie unwillingly appear.

nHer eyes were dim, and her expression was a little dejected, as if she was a pet that was about to be abandoned.

nSeeing this, Su Yi was helpless. As expected, his previous tone was too serious, and he had scared Little Xie.

nHe gently said to Little Xie in his hand.

n“Xiao Xie, from today onwards, you are free.”

nHearing this, the latter’s pupils shook, and then it was as if her heart was dead.

nAs expected, the big bad guy abandoned her in the end. However, she had already acknowledged him as her master, so how could she bear to leave?

nHowever, she could not disobey her master’s orders. She really did not want to leave Su Yi.

nJust as Little Xie was letting her imagination run wild, what Su Yi said next caused her mood to rise up from the bottom. Her expression instantly shot up to the sky.

n“After today, you don’t have to hide yourself in front of others anymore. You can come out whenever you want. Anyway, there should be someone similar to you in the central sky region. As for the others’ suspicions? Who cares?”

nSu Yi held Little Xie in his hand, and her eyes were fixed on him. She was originally dull and lifeless, but in the end, her eyes were shining brightly.

nIt turned out that she was wrong in the beginning. Su Yi did not want to abandon her. Instead, he wanted her restrictions to be lifted. In other words, she could talk to others in the future.

nShe did not have to stay in the metal sheet silently when Su Yi was traveling with others anymore. She could only daydream over and over again.

nShe had been trapped in the sword tomb for countless years, wanting to see the scenery of the outside world, but she had missed too much.

nNow, Su Yi’s words meant that no matter what, she could always be outside, accompanying Su Yi, accompanying him, experiencing the scenery of people and things.

nUntil now, she did not even know what the people who traveled with Su Yi looked like. In her mind, there was only the image of her former master and Su Yi.

nAlthough this was a very normal thing for a sword spirit, Little Xie was different. Although she was a sword spirit, she also had a body, a spirit, and a soul that belonged to her.

nIt could be said that Little Xie was a complete living creature, and she could even cultivate.

nHer eyes flashed with tears. These were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. From now on, she would be able to fight together with Su Yi, take risks, explore, and grow.

nSeeing her like this, Su Yi could not help but chuckle. Little Xie must have been waiting for him to say this for a long time.

nToday, he could be considered to have thrown away all his burdens. He wanted to live another life in this central sky region.

n“Little Xie, go outside and play for a while. I’ll cultivate for a while. When the time comes, we’ll go out.”

n“Okay!”

nLittle Xie responded with a heavy voice, and her body floated to the training bed outside the secret room.

nWhen Su Yi saw this, he did not close the stone door. He sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate using the Yin-Yang Spirit Concentration Technique.

nAt this moment, besides cultivating, he also had to do one thing, which was to condense the pill fire. To condense the pill fire, he needed fire element true essence.

nIn his body, the golden core that was originally emitting five-colored true essence trembled slightly, and then turned into a reddish color. It was the fire element true essence, which started to rise from his body.

nWithout condensing the pill fire, he could not even refine pills.

n“The pill fire secrets that Master taught me should be like this, right?” he murmured, and his expression tensed. Then he closed his eyes and began to control the true essence to circulate in his qi center.

nA large amount of fire element true essence was extracted from his golden core, and then gathered in his qi center.

nAccording to the recipe, the fire element true essence had to be continuously compressed until it ignited sparks without extinguishing. Only then would he be able to successfully condense the pill fire.

n“Hmph!” Su Yi let out a low roar. Under his control, the fire element true essence formed a whirlpool in his qi center.

nThen, it spun crazily, and the whirlpool kept on spinning and shrinking. Soon, the fist-sized fire element true essence whirlpool turned into the size of a fingertip, and it was still shrinking.

nAs the true essence whirlpool got smaller and smaller, the spinning became faster and faster.

nChi–

nA light sound came out from his qi essence, and a spark appeared in the rapidly spinning true essence whirlpool.

n“It worked?”

nJust as he was surprised, the spark that had been burning slowly extinguished like a burnt match.

nThe spark had been ignited, but it had been extinguished. He could only consider it a failure.

nHowever, this meant that he was in the right direction. Originally, he did not know how to compress his true essence, so he began to compress the vortex on his own.

nNow, it seemed that he was walking in the right direction. Just being able to ignite the flame meant that it was possible.

n“Again!” Su Yi gritted his teeth and a determined expression appeared on his face. It was as if he would not give up until he condensed the pill fire today.

nIf Xiao Qian were here, he would definitely shout that Su Yi had gone crazy!

nIf an ordinary person failed to condense the pill fire once, they would need to rest for at least four to five days before they could attempt to condense it again. Otherwise, the sparks that ignited would even be able to burn a person’s body into ashes.

nHowever, to Su Yi, he was not an ordinary person. When he was at the foundation establishment stage, he had already cultivated the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Technique followed by the secret technique, the Five Elements Heaven Vein Mantra.

nHis body was probably more capable than anyone to handle the five elements attributes.

nHowever, his spiritual root had yet to improve. If one day, his spiritual root transformed to a certain degree, then, he would undergo an earth-shattering change. Perhaps, it could even allow him to fight beyond his cultivation stage in the future!

nIt must be known that the further one’s realm went, the greater the difference between the attributes of the cultivator. The further one went, the greater the difference between the attributes would be reflected by the realm.

nAfter a while, Su Yi let out a long sigh. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. There was still no sign of the pill fire in his qi center. It seemed that he had failed again.

nHe looked at the amount of true essence he had left. He could still condense it again. If he did not succeed this time, he would have to wait for a long time.

nHowever, at this moment, he had a confident smile on his face. After two failures, he had already figured out why the pill fire he had condensed the first two times was extinguished.

nIt was because he had been paying attention to compressing, and he did not release the sparks when they were ignited.

n“One last time, again!”

nAs the fire attribute true essence circulated like crazy, the whirlpool in his qi center crazily rotated and shrank, and then a spark was ignited.

n“Now!”

nIn an instant, he released the compression force on the fire element true essence, and that spark instantly exploded, igniting a blood-red flame.

n“Pill fire, success!”

n….
