Chapter 1259: Fiery Sky Hou’s Bloodline Purified
At first, Lin Yuan waited for the Fiery Sky Hou to complete the purifying of its bloodline while drinking tea.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened to the Fiery Sky Hou.
Suddenly, its flesh started to split open and raging bursts of fire-elemental energy intermingled with blood energy spilled forth from the cracks.
The fire-elemental energy that was meant to be under the Fiery Sky Hou’s control now became a weapon that was hurting it.
Zong Ze did not look panicked by this development because he knew that it would happen.
Since the dishes cooked by Chef Supreme did not contain a high enough concentration of spirit qi, they were unable to enable the Fiery Sky Hou to evolve its body at the same time as it evolved the fire-elemental energy in its body.
But since the Fiery Sky Hou was a fey with the Barren bloodline that had the ability to control fire, it would be able to endure this.
Due to the insufficient concentration of spirit qi, the Fiery Sky Hou’s bloodline could not be purified to perfection.
Nonetheless, this was a conundrum that all spirit qi professionals who possessed feys with the Barren bloodline had to face.
At that moment, Lin Yuan reached out his hand toward Zong Ze. There were two flower buds in his palm.
…
“Big Brother Zong, there is extremely pure spirit qi inside these two flower buds. They should be helpful to the Fiery Sky Hou.”
Zong Ze received the flower buds and studied them.
The ever-present stony expression on Zong Ze’s face melted away. Then, his eyes bulged, and he looked utterly astonished.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Yuan with a touched expression as he asked, “Lin Yuan, these flower buds—”
Before Zong Ze could finish speaking, Lin Yuan said anxiously, “Big Brother Zong, if you don’t give the spirit qi to the Fiery Sky Hou now, it will finish its evolution with the flawed spirit qi.”
Zong Ze took a deep breath and stared at Lin Yuan for a moment before throwing the two flower buds at the Fiery Sky Hou and ordering it to consume them.
The Fiery Sky Hou fought against the pain of its body splitting open and leaped over to catch the two flower buds with its mouth.
When the Fiery Sky Hou swallowed the flower buds, its torn skin sealed itself shut, and the glow of a flame ignited at the ends of its fur.
The flame started to spread and elongated the fur of the Fiery Sky Hou.
It released the howl of agony that it had been suppressing.
A red crystallized curved horn grew out of the center of the Fiery Sky Hou’s forehead.
Its exposed fangs also grew longer and were covered by a red transparent substance.
The Fiery Sky Hou’s body had been about the size of two palms. But now, it had grown to a length of one meter.
The Fiery Sky Hou’s changes made Lin Yuan think of the description he had read in the Catalog of Mountains and Seas.
‘Tail like a fan, wide mouth, posture as straight as a board, covered in red fur, long body, savage beast that spits fire.’
When he found out that the contents of the Catalog of Mountains and Seas were not mere legends but actual descriptions of feys with the Barren bloodline, he had been curious about why the Fiery Sky Hou’s description seemed different.
Apparently, it was because the Fiery Sky Hou’s bloodline had not been purified yet.
The Fiery Sky Hou’s appearance now matched the Catalog of Mountains and Seas description.
Zong Ze was over the moon about the Fiery Sky Hou’s changes.
He knew that if it had not been for Lin Yuan’s pure spirit qi, the Fiery Sky Hou’s changes were not solely due to the purification of its fire-elemental energy but also the complete transformation of its body.
Counting the time Lin Yuan had visited Zong Ze’s residence and had given him the Heavenly Maiden Sleetl pearl, Lin Yuan had now provided Zong Ze with two unexpected opportunities.
When he was young, Chef Supreme had told Zong Ze that even the people he regarded as his good friends could put an end to his opportunities and that he needed to treasure the friends that actually provided him with opportunities.
If someone gave him opportunities without asking for anything in return, he would have to marry her if she was female and ask him to be his blood brother if he was male.

Before Zong Ze could mull over Chef Supreme’s words, eight high-grade strange flames shot out from the Fiery Sky Hou’s abdomen.
The eight strange flames swirled around its body in a beautiful dance.
If the Fiery Sky Hou had not been controlling the eight strange flames and preventing them from spreading to the surroundings, all of Lin Yuan’s jade-textured furniture would be burnt to ashes.
Lin Yuan shivered when he saw the eight high-grade strange flames.
During the fight on the Martial Arts Stage, Lin Yuan had witnessed the power of the Fiery Sky Hou’s Strange Fire Eight Refinement.
When Zong Ze used the Fiery Sky Hou to attack a target, it would release the eight strange flames in its abdomen to cause layered damage to the target.
The final attack that hit the target would be the strongest strange flame.
Currently, the Fiery Sky Hou was wielding and purifying the fire-elemental energy in the eight strange flames.
When one of the strange flames was being purified, the flame would take on a crystal hue, and the other seven flames would result in faint waves of heat.
The beautiful red flame twisted the space.
From this, it was evident that the temperature of the high-grade flames had risen significantly.

At this moment, Zong Ze ordered, “Fiery Sky Hou, keep the Red Plum Falling Fire and use Tempering of Fire to temper the Red Plum Falling Fire through the other seven flames.”
The Fiery Sky Hou moved and summoned a flame that looked like a blooming red plum.
The other seven strange flames were immediately attracted to it and sailed into the red plum of a flame.
The Red Plum Falling Fire grew stronger as it consumed the purified strange flames.
After consuming five strange flames, the red plum flowers and frosted snow seemed to appear around the Red Plum Falling Fire.
Lin Yuan thought, It looks like Zong Ze wants to use the other seven strange flames to evolve the high-grade Red Plum Falling Fire to top-grade.
