I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Alchemy Exploration [1]
*woosh* Zhao Tian and Yao Jing were dashing above the greenery and he turned to look at Yao Jing’s tank skin glowing in the morning sunlight.

“We are going to the deeper parts of the forest?”

Looking at him, Yao Jing nodded her head with a smile “Yeah, the Misty Moon flower blooms on the snow-covered areas and we are going there now.”

With a faint nod, Zhao Tian asked, “Have you gone there before?”

Yao Jing nodded her head and replied “Yeah, I have gone there two times to search for an herb. It was extremely cold; even powerful cultivators like me who are in the Transcendant Sovereign Stage will find it hard in some places around the snow covered regions.”

“So make sure to stick to me, Tian.”

“Hmm.”

…

A few hours passed-

As they continued their flight, the thick, green forest slowly began to give way to an open space… a vast, snowy expanse that stretched out as far as the eye could see.

The Misty Moon flower was known to bloom only in the most remote, desolate parts of the mountain ranges, where the air was thin and bitter cold.

Zhao Tian’s breath caught in surprise as he looked out over the landscape ahead.

The peaks of distant mountains loomed like jagged teeth in the horizon, their snow-covered tops gleaming under the sun.

The air, once fresh and warm, grew thin and crisp as they ventured closer to the snow-capped region.

The temperature dropped noticeably, and the wind began to bite at their exposed skin.

Yao Jing smiled faintly “It’s been a long time since I came here and I was always alone.. but this time I have my own disciple.”

As he muttered, she extended her hand to him “Come here, disciple… it is cold, isn’t it?”

With a nod, Zhao Tian extended his hand, his fingers interwining with hers and a soft sigh escaped his lips, feeling her body’s warmth.

Puling him closer, she muttered “Flow your flame energy constantly in your body, but don’t use too much astral energy or else your astral energy reserves will be depleted quickly from your body.”

Zhao Tian gave a nod and steam began to rise from his skin, pushing away the cold air from his body.

Yao Jing couldn’t help but giggle and spoke “See, now you look like a personal hot spring.. hahaha.”

Hearing her silly joke, Zhao Tian laughed along with her as they dashed through the air.

…

As they landed softly on the icy ground, Zhao Tian felt his feet sink slightly into the snow, the biting cold immediately making its presence known.

The silence was almost eerie, broken only by the faint whistle of the wind and the crunch of their boots against the frozen earth.

Yao Jing released his hand, though her warmth lingered and she turned to look back at him, her eyes sparkling with confidence. “Stay close, disciple.”

“Grrr!” Just as she spoke, a low growl echoed through the snowy silence.

Zhao Tian’s turned his gaze to the left, where a pack of frost wolves, their white fur camouflaging them almost perfectly in the snow, prowled toward them.

Their icy blue eyes gleamed with a menacing hunger as they encircled the pair.

*swoosh* Without hesitation, Yao Jing stepped in front of Zhao Tian, her expression calm and focused.

She extended a hand, and with a subtle movement of her fingers, flames erupted from her palm, swirling and crackling with a fierce intensity.

The fire cast an amber glow on the surrounding snow, melting patches instantly under its scorching heat.

The wolves hesitated, their growls faltering as they sensed the heat radiating from Yao Jing.

Yet, their instincts drove them forward, teeth bared as they prepared to pounce.

Yao Jing’s eyes narrowed, and with a flick of her wrist, a surge of flames shot out, spiraling toward the lead wolf.

*WOOOSHHH* The fire roared as it engulfed the beast, and within seconds, the wolf crumbled into ash, leaving only a faint smolder where it once stood.

The other wolves, undeterred by the loss of their leader, lunged at her from different directions.

With a graceful step to the side, she twisted her arm, sending another wave of flames arcing through the air.

The fire split mid-flight, each stream finding its target and igniting the wolves with unerring precision.

One by one, the beasts fell, their bodies disintegrating into embers as Yao Jing’s fire consumed them.

As the last of the wolves fell, silence returned to the frozen landscape.

The snow around them was dotted with smoldering patches, the warmth from the fire dissipating quickly in the biting cold.

Yao Jing turned to him, brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear and a faint, triumphant smile on her lips. “This place might be cold, but a little fire can still work wonders.”

Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow “I am surprised… you got some moves.”

Hearing this, Yao Jing’s lips twitched, her gaze narrowing as she shot him a mock-offended look. “Oh? And just what did you take me for?”

With a playful smile, he replied “A blockhead master who knows nothing but alchemy.”

“Oh? Is that right?” Without another word, Yao Jing crouched down and scooped a handful of snow into her palms, her gaze never leaving Zhao Tian.

With a mischevious grin, she grabbed Zhao Tian’s cheeks pressing the snow on him.

“Shhh!” he hissed, feeling the cold sting his skin as she laughed. He grabbed her hand, trying to pull it away, but the cold left a pink flush on his face that only made Yao Jing laugh harder.

“Hahahaha!” Yao Jing burst into laughter looking at the red flush on his cheeks because of the cold and Zhao Tian’s eyebrow twitched in frustration.

“I will surely get back at you for this.”

Yao Jing let out her tongue with a mocking expression on her face which only fueled Zhao Tian’s frustration.

However, he couldn’t contain his amused laugh and wrapped his arm around her shoulder “Now, come on.. let’s go Master.”

“Yeah, yeah… hahaha. Your face… HAHAHAHA.”

“Stop laughing…”

“BAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“I will seriously punch you!”
