Xiao Yan ultimately felt that his speed of cultivation was too slow. In the quiet training room, his gaze fell on Shui Wuya, as if searching for a glimmer of hope.
He knew that this mysterious senior must possess unparalleled cultivation secrets that could help him rapidly improve his skills.
Shui Wuya, with his enigmatic presence, had always been the most extraordinary figure in Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Yan understood well that Shui Wuya not only had profound cultivation but also possessed incredible wisdom and extensive experience; he surely had a solution.
A thought crossed Xiao Yan's mind, but he hesitated to disturb Shui Wuya's meditation.
In his eyes, this elder was like a towering mountain—mysterious and imposing—leaving him with a sense of awe and confusion from a distance.
If he were to disturb him and incur his displeasure, it could be disastrous.
Just as Xiao Yan was grappling with his indecision, Shui Wuya's eyes slowly opened, revealing a hint of mysterious light.
It was as if he could see through everything; every subtle fluctuation in Xiao Yan's heart did not escape his notice.
"Disciple, do you have something to say?"
Shui Wuya's voice was as clear and melodious as a mountain stream, yet it carried a profound weight.
Xiao Yan's heart jolted; he quickly regained his composure, lowered his head, and respectfully replied, "Master, I have a request. Please provide me with guidance."
Shui Wuya smiled gently and said, "Speak up; I might be able to help you."
Xiao Yan's heart filled with joy; receiving assistance from such a mysterious elder was truly fortunate.
"I wish to rapidly improve my cultivation. Please guide me, Master," he said respectfully, his voice laced with anticipation.
Shui Wuya nodded slightly, a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes.
"This is simple. Practice the Burning Technique and absorb different fires," he instructed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback. He hadn't expected Shui Wuya to provide such a straightforward solution.
However, confusion washed over his face.
He had no understanding of the term "different fires" and felt completely lost.
Standing beside him, Yao Lao was equally surprised; he hadn't anticipated that this mysterious figure from outside would know about different fires.
Yao Lao quickly realized Shui Wuya's extraordinary nature, deepening his admiration for him.
Noticing Xiao Yan's confusion regarding different fires, Yao Lao began to explain.
"Disciple, different fires are divine treasures of the world, their power is beyond words," he said with a serious tone.
"They each possess unique attributes and abilities, capable of unleashing the power of heaven and earth, igniting devastatingly hot flames."
He continued, "Some different fires burn with intense heat and can incinerate anything; others possess extreme cold and can freeze all life. There are even some that are toxic and can harm all things in the world."
Yao Lao shifted his tone and added, "Regardless of the type, each different fire is exceedingly rare and powerful.
If a cultivator can master one, their progress will be exponential, allowing for remarkable advancements in their cultivation."
His words brimmed with respect. "However, taming a different fire is not an easy task.
These fires have their own will and strength, and to subdue them requires a tremendous cost and carries great risk."
Finally, Yao Lao took a deep breath and said gravely, "Disciple, you must understand that taming a different fire is not only a challenge but also a trial.
Yet if you succeed, your future achievements will be limitless."
Upon hearing this, a wave of intense excitement surged within Xiao Yan.
He had never imagined that he might one day wield such powerful strength.
"However, taming a different fire is no easy feat."
Yao Lao, seeing Xiao Yan's thoughts, said in a deep voice, "Finding and subduing a different fire is fraught with difficulties and requires immense strength and luck.
With your current cultivation level, attempting to subdue a different fire is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
I cannot provide you with much help either."
Although Shui Wuya provided a solution, for Xiao Yan, it was an insurmountable obstacle.
His strength was still far from sufficient to reach such heights.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression turned despondent.
However, at that moment, Shui Wuya suddenly spoke, saying casually, "Don't worry; I have a way to help you subdue a different fire."
"What!?"
These words caused both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan to widen their eyes in disbelief, almost unable to trust their ears.
Yao Lao knew full well that taming a different fire was no easy feat.
Yet, under Shui Wuya's calm gaze, both men felt an overwhelming power, an indescribable mysterious force that left them hesitant to doubt or question him.
"Senior, you truly are all-powerful, with extraordinary abilities," Xiao Yan said excitedly.
Then, Yao Lao slowly replied, "Disciple, to be honest, I possess a type of different fire known as Bone Spirit Cold Fire. It is no ordinary flame; it contains extreme cold power and is an exceedingly rare and precious existence.
I had initially planned to keep it to myself because I knew you currently lacked the strength to control it. But since the mysterious senior claims he has a way to help you subdue it, then let's give it a try."
Xiao Yan felt immense gratitude upon hearing this. He understood Yao Lao's intentions but hesitated.
He recalled Yao Lao mentioning the rarity of different fires, which made it difficult for him to take the elder's treasure.
"Yao Lao, I—" Xiao Yan began to speak, but was interrupted by Shui Wuya.
"There's no need to worry."
Shui Wuya said lightly, "There are a total of five different fires in this vicinity."
"What!?"
Both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan looked up in shock, their faces reflecting their confusion.
"Five different fires?" Yao Lao asked through gritted teeth, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Shui Wuya nodded, a mysterious and profound aura emanating from him. "Yes, these five different fires are: the Bone Spirit Cold Fire that you possess, Yao Lao; the Golden Emperor Flame within Xiao Xun'er; the Blue Lotus Earth Heart Fire from the Taklamakan Desert; the Fallen Heart Flame from the Jia Nan Academy; and the Sea Heart Flame from the Black Corner Region."
Shui Wuya's voice was calm yet mysterious, compelling respect and awe.
"Heavens…"
Xiao Yan marveled at Shui Wuya's words, realizing that his mysterious master was truly exceptional, possessing remarkable abilities that demanded admiration.
Upon hearing the mention of the Sea Heart Flame, Yao Lao fell silent, as if recalling some painful memories.
He had once had a disciple whom he had poured his heart and soul into cultivating, only to be ultimately betrayed.
That traitor was likely still in the Black Corner Region.
