After returning to his small pavilion, Ye Yunfei took out a Message Jade Slip and sent a message to Long Yingying.
A moment later, Long Yingying bustled over.
"Ye Yunfei, is it time to help me activate my bloodline already?!" she asked eagerly as soon as she rushed into his pavilion.
"That's right. I've gathered all the necessary resources," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Really? That's wonderful!" Long Yingying exclaimed excitedly.
"So what do we do exactly?" she asked impatiently, itching to awaken the bloodline within her.
"Senior Sister Long, you'd best be mentally prepared. The bloodline in your body has been sealed since birth. To reawaken it now, your meridians and channels must undergo a process of tearing and reforming. This process will be extremely painful.
Furthermore, the bloodline of the War Clan is notoriously violent and wild. So during activation, your bloodline will release astonishing energy, causing your entire bloodstream to blaze fiercely. The slightest mishap could reduce your physical body to ashes," Ye Yunfei explained.
"Alright! I understand. I'm not afraid!" Long Yingying's expression shifted slightly, but she gritted her teeth and declared.
To grow stronger, she was willing to endure any hardship.
"Very well. Let's begin," Ye Yunfei said, waving his hand and taking out a large iron cauldron, placing it in the center of the pavilion hall.
Then, he produced a large batch of spiritual herbs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, tossing them all into the cauldron.
"Refine!" Ye Yunfei flicked his finger, and a ruby-red flame leapt forth, darting into the iron cauldron. Instantly, roaring flames ignited inside.
Currently, Ye Yunfei possessed two types of hetero-flames: Earth Flame and Three Crow Dark Fire. However, the Three Crow Dark Fire was of a cold-natured type, unsuitable for alchemy.
Rumble…
The large iron cauldron emitted rumbling noises.
After a short while, the fires gradually subsided. Inside the cauldron appeared a full tub of medicinal liquid, red as fresh blood.
The temperature of this liquid was extremely high, radiating startling heat.
"Senior Sister Long, now please remove all your clothing and enter the cauldron, letting the medicinal liquid temper your flesh," Ye Yunfei instructed.
"What? You want me to… take off all my clothes?!" Despite her bold personality, Long Yingying's face flushed instantly upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Exactly. If you wish to activate your bloodline, just do as I say," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"You…" Long Yingying's face was scarlet as she stared at Ye Yunfei, started to speak then hesitated.
"Senior Sister Long, there's no other way. You must do this," Ye Yunfei said.
"Then you go outside! How can I undress with you here! You rascal, are you trying to sneak a peek?!" Long Yingying finally couldn't hold back and lashed out.
"Ahem… Senior Sister Long, I must stay here to watch over you. The process of activating your bloodline is far too dangerous. The slightest oversight, and the violent energy contained within your bloodline will burn your entire body to ashes," Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"You…! Then at least turn your head away! Do you expect me to undress right in front of you?!" Long Yingying demanded.
"Of course not," Ye Yunfei hurriedly turned his head away.
"I think you're doing this on purpose," Long Yingying gritted her teeth.
"Senior Sister Long, time is of the essence," Ye Yunfei urged.
"Fine…" Finally, steeling herself, Long Yingying began to disrobe.
Though she knew Ye Yunfei wouldn't peek, her heart still pounded wildly, her face crimson. She had lived this long, but this was the first time she was doing something like this next to a man.
"I'm… finished." Finally, Long Yingying had removed all her garments. Trembling, she stood behind Ye Yunfei and whispered, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
At this moment, she was mortified to the extreme, wishing she could immediately find a hole to crawl into.
"Swallow this spirit pill. Then, enter the iron cauldron." Ye Yunfei waved his hand, sending a spirit pill flying to land in front of Long Yingying.
After swallowing the pill, Long Yingying leapt into the iron cauldron.
Ah…!
Immediately, Long Yingying's pained cries echoed from within the cauldron.
"Senior Sister Long, endure it. I will watch over you here," Ye Yunfei said.
"Don't worry! I will endure it!" Long Yingying's voice came from inside the cauldron.
She was a member of the War Clan, and her character was resolute and unbending. She would never yield easily.
Ahh… Ah…
Every so often, suppressed cries of pain emerged from the iron cauldron.
Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power into the cauldron, sensing Long Yingying's condition.
Should he discover Long Yingying was in danger, Ye Yunfei would immediately intervene.
Otherwise, with Long Yingying's current strength, she would be utterly incapable of suppressing the War Clan bloodline within her.
The bloodline of the War Clan was no joke—once it erupted, it became uncontrollable, damaging even its own host!
Before he knew it, over half a day had passed.
At a certain moment…
Suddenly…
Bang! Bang…!
The iron cauldron began to violently shake.
Inside the cauldron, roaring flames suddenly ignited once more!
Ahhh…!!
Long Yingying screamed in agony, seemingly unable to bear it any longer.
"Not good!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown, knowing something had gone wrong.
Inside the cauldron, roaring flames continuously erupted from within Long Yingying's body. Every inch of her form began to fiercely burn.
"Ye Yunfei… I can't take it anymore! I'm going to die!" At this moment, Long Yingying was in excruciating torment, her eyes bloodshot, as if maddened.
"Don't panic. I'm here!" Ye Yunfei knew if he didn't intervene, Long Yingying would soon be reduced to a pile of ashes.
Without hesitation, Ye Yunfei leapt into the iron cauldron.
The iron cauldron was three meters high and three meters wide, spacious enough for two people.
Inside, Long Yingying's physical body was engulfed by surging flames. More terrifyingly, these flames were erupting from within Long Yingying's own body.
"Senior Sister Long, swallow these pills." Ye Yunfei flicked his fingers, sending three spirit pills flying out in succession.
Long Yingying was still somewhat conscious. She opened her mouth and swallowed the three pills.
"Senior Sister Long, don't be afraid. I will assist you." Ye Yunfei drew close to Long Yingying, activated his Greenwood Emperor Body, and pressed his palm against the top of her head. Torrents of cyan radiance streamed from his palm into Long Yingying's body.
This was the energy essence of the Greenwood Emperor Body, brimming with immense vitality.
As the massive influx of cyan radiance continuously transferred into Long Yingying, her condition slowly stabilized.
She sat cross-legged, gradually sensing the bloodline within her body.
The flames on her physical form also began to slowly extinguish.
Ye Yunfei let out a sigh of relief.
However, Ye Yunfei dared not withdraw his hand. Standing beside Long Yingying, he continued to channel the energy essence of the Greenwood Emperor Body into her.
The War Clan Bloodline was notoriously violent, and Ye Yunfei feared the bloodline within Long Yingying might erupt again.
Silence settled inside the iron cauldron.
An unknowable amount of time passed.
Finally…
"My War Clan Bloodline… has finally been activated!" Suddenly, Long Yingying's beautiful eyes snapped open, filled with boundless joy.
At this moment, she felt as if endless energy surged within her body. She had never felt this powerful before!
"Thank you, Ye Yunfei," Long Yingying looked at him gratefully.
"Truly worthy of the War Clan Bloodline. Your cultivation is now at the late Saint Realm. And this is just the beginning," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but praise.
"Of course it is," Long Yingying replied, feeling both excited and proud.
In the next moment, she lowered her head and glanced at her own body.
Then…
"Ahhh! You pervert! Stop looking! Get out immediately! Or I'll gouge your eyes out!" Long Yingying screamed at the top of her lungs, utterly disregarding everything.
Her piercing shriek could be heard for several miles.
