The invisible flame condensed from the Fallen Heart Flame's special medicine was like a projection of the Fallen Heart Flame from the Sky Burning Qi Training Tower. It contained far too little energy—just a few bursts of Dou Qi could dissipate it.
Thus, maintaining the invisible flame at a level where its form wouldn't disperse, akin to a nascent seed of the Fallen Heart Flame, required continuously consuming the medicine for replenishment.
This process was far from pleasant, as Xiao Yan had already deeply experienced.
Even if it were theoretically feasible, Xiao Yan had no intention of persistently taking medicine to sustain the flame. Once the frenzy took hold, a single Yun Yun wouldn't be enough to quell it.
Of course, if he could refine a powerful pill around the seventh tier—one that could match the effects of numerous Fallen Heart Flame special medicines—there would be no need for continuous consumption.
He would only need to endure the more intense heat for a short while to complete the condensation of the nascent Fallen Heart Flame.
After this round of cultivation, even some fifth-tier medicinal powders had already stirred overwhelming excitement within him. Switching to a seventh-tier pill, Xiao Yan wasn't entirely confident he could withstand it.
Moreover, the cost of a seventh-tier pill was too high.
With the resources needed to refine a seventh-tier pill, he could instead concoct other pills that would undoubtedly bring a significant boost to his strength.
Using them to condense a nascent seed of the Fallen Heart Flame seemed somewhat wasteful.
However, having inadvertently comprehended the Three Realizations of the Bodhi, Xiao Yan no longer planned to labor over the medicine route.
If he had hundreds or even thousands of beauties assisting him, the effect wouldn't be much different from that of a seventh-tier pill.
The cultivation effect of Three Realizations of the Bodhi was extraordinarily peculiar—it could purify all things evil.
At its highest level, it could render an enemy's attacks intangible, as if all external influences couldn't touch the cultivator, as though they existed in another world entirely.
Moreover, Three Realizations of the Bodhi also offered tremendous benefits to others, producing a marrow-cleansing effect that purified meridians.
This aspect combined years of experience in nurturing meridians, except its targets were no longer limited to those just beginning their cultivation with Dou Qi. Even those at the Dou Huang level could reap significant benefits.
Since the secret technique was created by Xiao Yan, his mastery of it came naturally.
Dou Qi slowly surged within him, once again condensing according to the Three Realizations of the Bodhi secret technique. The Profound Yellow Flame, Yin-Yang Double Flame, Netherworld Poison Flame, and Three Thousand Burning Flame coalesced beneath Xiao Yan into a violet-black lotus.
This lotus was the key to the mind-tempering effect, strengthening the mind to an extraordinary degree and generating a miraculous power that was remarkably effective in breaking through cultivation barriers.
Xiao Yan had only heard of this in the past, but today, experiencing the level of mental refinement firsthand, he realized its critical importance.
The breakthrough-enhancing effect of Three Realizations of the Bodhi originated from the legendary "Hundred Reincarnations" of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree, hailed as the Tree of Wisdom and Reincarnation, was said to possess the divine ability to subject individuals to a hundred cycles of reincarnation. Those who endured this trial would gain the potential to step into the Dou Emperor realm.
Originally, Xiao Yan's cultivation had progressed smoothly, so he hadn't paid much attention to it. Now, facing obstacles and recognizing his mental instability, he understood that the effects of the hundred reincarnations were no exaggeration.
How the Bodhi Ancient Tree subjected people to a hundred reincarnations, Xiao Yan didn't know, nor did he dwell on it—he only needed to grasp the essence.
The most powerful aspect of the hundred reincarnations lay in the introspective awareness of living a hundred lifetimes.
For geniuses, as their cultivation level rose, their lifespans would extend dramatically. A hundred lifetimes could easily accumulate to over a hundred thousand years.
A hundred thousand years—even a pig could become a Fierce Beast in that time.
Returning to reality after these hundred reincarnations, one's experience and mental fortitude would be vastly enhanced, along with nearly a hundred instances of breakthrough experience, providing immense benefits for future advancements.
Thus, after tempering his mind, Xiao Yan's Three Realizations of the Bodhi could also aid in breakthroughs.
As his cultivation deepened, Xiao Yan soon entered a peculiar state.
His Dou Qi flowed through unfamiliar meridians as he silently recited the esoteric incantations of the secret technique. The violet-black lotus beneath him bloomed with faint golden light.
Following the secret technique's circulation, the impurities in Xiao Yan's mind were absorbed, refined, and purified, strengthening his spirit. It became like a clear mirror, reflecting all things yet remaining untouched by dust, perpetually radiating brilliance.
A strange power emerged out of nowhere—his mind grew exceptionally clear, and his body began emitting a peculiar, captivating fragrance.
These changes further enhanced Xiao Yan's attraction to the energy of heaven and earth, sharpening his reactions. Naturally, this better satisfied the craving for energy during breakthroughs.
After cultivating for a while, the violet-black lotus beneath Xiao Yan gradually took on a golden hue, appearing as though sanctity and demonic power coexisted, exuding a rich, refreshing fragrance.
Once Three Realizations of the Bodhi was initiated, Xiao Yan opened his eyes and gazed at Yun Yun.
With the medicinal effects fully unleashed, Yun Yun had become even more alluring. Unable to attain her desire, her eyes carried a trace of resentment that could evoke sympathy in anyone.
Already a peerless beauty, Yun Yun now possessed an intoxicating charm—every glance and smile could melt bones. One look would inevitably lead to another, an endless cycle of captivation.
For an ordinary man, having her now would lead to endless indulgence, culminating in death upon her lap.
Lost in thought, Xiao Yan no longer felt the unbearable heat from before.
Waves of cool energy flowed through him, dousing any rising flames of desire the moment they ignited.
Facing such a celestial-level beauty like Yun Yun, who was now exuding unparalleled seduction, served as the perfect tempering for Xiao Yan's mind.
Resisting this extreme temptation would only make his spirit stronger.
Xiao Yan madly circulated Three Realizations of the Bodhi, tempering his mind against this allure.
Seeing Xiao Yan open his eyes, Yun Yun—frustrated by her inability to succeed—was further provoked. She began squirming in his arms.
One moment, she was a dignified, noble fairy; the next, a desperate enchantress—voluptuous and mesmerizing.
Her luscious lips parted slightly from time to time, releasing continuous soft moans.
This relentless onslaught of temptation made Xiao Yan stand at attention, nearly soaring to the heavens to fill the delicate void within Yun Yun.
Fortunately, his will was firm. As Three Realizations of the Bodhi surged, his heated body cooled once more, and his desires gradually faded.
After cultivating a while longer, Xiao Yan frowned at Yun Yun's flushed, enchanting face. "I've cultivated quite well, but if this continues, Yun Yun will burn herself into a fever."
