"The Seed Fme of the Nihility Dev Fme?!"

  Xiao Yan looked at the small cluster of fme that was as bck as ink in front of him and was certain it wasn't the true Nihility Dev Fme.

  Because if it were the actual Nihility Dev Fme being born, it would be enough to turn aire nation into nothingness, utterly ied into a nd of emptiness!

  However, what surprised him was that this was not a newly born Heavenly Fme. Through his Spiritual Strength, he could sehat although this dark fme was very weak and cked the terrifying energy of the Bone Chilling Fme, its essence was just as mature. As such, it was certainly not a newborn fme.

  Moreover, acc to the Heavenly Fme Ranking, only one of each of the top three Heavenly Fmes existed iire world. The Dou Qi ti could not bear the heaven ah energy required for another of the top three Heavenly Fmes to be born.

  "There really is such a thing as a Seed Fme... not even the mysterious Heavenly Fme Ranking has a record of it."

  Initially, Xiao Yan doubted Hun Lao Gui's mention of a Seed Fme, thinking he was lying. After all, Heavenly Fmes weren't living beings; how could they possibly have offspring!

  Even if they were living beings, there would be a need for a mate for reprodu, right? The Nihility Dev Fme was the only one of its kind throughout the entire Dou Qi ti. Where would a sed one e from to reproduce?

  Yet, Xiao Yan roven wrong in a spectacur fashion. Not only did such a thi, but a Seed Fme of the Nihility Dev Fme appeared right before his eyes!

  [Jie Jie Jie, I must say, your luck is extraordinary to have entered it, kid. No one knows when a Seed Fme of the Nihility Dev Fme will deo existence. ]

  Hearing Hun Huzi's spiritual voice, Xiao Yan looked at the Seed Fme of the Nihility Dev Fme in front of him and curiously asked, "How is this Seed Fme created? How it be refined?"

  [Jie Jie Jie, how the Nihility Dev Fme produces a Seed Fme is a secret of our . As for how to refi, even though it's called a Seed Fme, its essence is the same as any Heavenly Fme, and there's no difference. ]

  Xiao Yan's eyes flickered. The produ of a Seed Fme was a secret of the Hun ? Didn't that mean the Nihility Dev Fme's ability to produce a Seed Fme wasn't due to its own power but because of the Hun ?!

  With a trepidatious heart, he approached the Seed Fme of the Nihility Dev Fme step by step. He already khe steps to refine a Heavenly Fme from a note in his ste ring and had memorized every step by heart.

  Now, all he had to do was grasp the Seed Fme and then leave the Treasure Hall to begin the refining process.

  Xiao Yan's throat moved up and down, his hands slowly ing together from either side, as careful as when he used to catch fish by the river in his childhood.

  His movements were very gentle as he slowly lifted the Seed Fme. The first sensation he felt was warmth. The bck fme wasn't scorg hot but had a soft, fortable warmth.

  For a moment, Xiao Yahought he was holding a newborn bck kitten in his hands…

  Suddenly, the mass of dark fmes opened a pair of eyes, and from within the fmes came a sound...

  "Meow~~"

  "Huh?! A cat?!"

  Xiao Yan was utterly stunned. However, since he had already taken the reward, the Soul aed a burst of light, directly sending him back before he had a ce to react.

  ...

  "Ha!" Ba reality, Xiao Yan woke up with a jolt and hurriedly stood up to look around.

  "What's going on, was it all a dream?" He vaguely remembered that just as he was about t the Heavenly Fme back, he seemed to have heard a cat meowing?!

  "Meow~"

  "Aye, aye, it was exactly that sound..."

  ∑(っ°Д°;)っ What the heck?!

  Xiao Yan abruptly turned his head toward the source of the sound, only to see a little bck cat, no bigger than a fist, zily sprawled on his shoulder. After meowing softly and stretg in a nguid yawn, the cat covered its cheeks with its paws and fell soundly asleep.

  Upon closer examination, Xiao Yan discovered that the bck fur of this little bck cat was actually made up of strands of fme! Those bck eyes were actually a strand of Nihility Dev Fme flickering within.

  Suddenly, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something and hastily took out a tattered old book from his ste ring and hurriedly flipped to a certain page.

  "Heavenly Fme Spirit. It is a Heavenly Fme that has given birth to spiritual intelligence. Heavenly Fmes are rare to begin with, and only those that have existed for an immeasurable amount of time may potentially develop spiritual intelligence. A Heavenly Fme with spiritual intelligence trol itself in a way that surpasses the trol power over Heavenly Fmes of an alchemist who has reached the Heavenly State soul."

  Hiss!!! Xiao Yan looked at the little bck cat the size of a fist. Could this be the extremely rare Heavenly Fme Spirit?

  'Not quite... this isn't the true Nihility Dev Fme and has just been born. The Nihility Dev Fme has indeed existed for a very long time, so its essence being a Heavenly Fme Spirit isn't surprising... Could it be that because this is a Seed Fme of the Nihility Dev Fme, it has ied some of its spiritual intelligence?!'

  Undoubtedly, although this cluster of fmes was a Heavenly Fme Spirit, its spiritual intelligence robably that of a newborn kitten.

  Xiao Yan sat cross-legged aly pced the Nihility Dev Fme on his p. With a regur Heavenly Fme, he would simply o absorb its Essence Fme, pce it into the Acceptance Soul, and then refi with the Fme Mantra to succeed.

  However, the fact that this little thing had spiritual intelligence posed a bit of a challenge for him.

  "Hey, little one, how about finding a cozy spot inside my Acceptance Soul to sleep?" He attempted to persuade it in a gentle manner.

  The Nihility Dev Fme in its kitten form simply scratched its ear and ignored his words entirely.

  Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed a out a sly smile, "If that's how it's going to be, then don't bme me."

  If gentle persuasion didn't work, he repared to switch tactics... Courtesy first, a sed!

  He took out a bottle of Icy Heart Pills and Vein Proteg Pills from his ste ring, popped two pills into his mouth, and pced the bottle on the ground just in case he needed more.

  These were meridian prote pills that served as a lesser substitute for the various items o devour a Heavenly Fme. Even though the Seed Fme felt warm to the toud didn't seem to have any malice or resistaoward him, he hadn't fotten that its birth involved the absorption of numerous remnants of dark fmes.

  A chilliion that caused him to shiver slightly spread from his throat as the Icy Heart Pill entered his body. This ess quickly melted away the risilessness in his heart, much like snowfkes melting away before a bzing fire.

  Xiao Yan slowly circuted the Fme Mantra, releasing a surge of yellow Dou Qi from his palm that enveloped the Nihility Dev Fme. As the Fme Mantra operated, the Nihility Dev Fme turned into a stream of bck fme that smoothly entered his Qi cye through his meridians and was effortlessly drawn into the Acceptance Soul, where it was quickly refined and even imprinted with his soul mark.

  The process was so smooth that Xiao Yan himself could hardly believe it. The refi was successful so quickly?! Without a little bit of resistance?!

  But he was left dumbfounded in the very sed. With a "meow," the Nihility Dev Fme in its kitten form nontly sauntered away from the Acceptance Soul and strutted out of his body with great swagger!

  It didn't even fet to shake its tail to mock Xiao Yan, as if to say, 'Did you really think your little Acceptance Soul could hold this lord meowjesty captive?'

  Xiao Yan learhe first ability of the Nihility Dev Fme: the freedom to traverse between the void ay.

  Meow? The Nihility Dev Fme meandered over to a bottle of pills on the ground. Seeing the round pills i scooped o with its paw and began mung on it.

  !!! Its eyes suddenly brightened. It grabbed all the Icy Heart Pills with one swipe of its paw and gobbled them down.

  "Oh ho, you like eating pills, huh?" Xiao Yahe remaining Vein Proteg Pills into his ste ring, his eyes filled with the mischievous gleam characteristic of a 'bad uncle'.

  Xiao Yan was secretly thrilled when he saw that the Nihility Dev Fme Seed didn't rush into his ste ring to snatch the pills. 'In fact, even though the Nihility Dev Fme itself is the sed-ranked Heavenly Fme, this newly born Seed Fme is still far from being as formidable as the real Bone Chilling Fme and does not dare to approach the ste ring.'

  Ordinary Heavenly Fmes cked spiritual intelligence, so it was enough to refihe Essence Fme. However, Heavenly Fmes with spiritual intelligence couldn't be refined by merely abs their Essence Fme. Even though refining the Essence Fme was the equivalent of possessing the Heavenly Fme, if the Heavenly Fme had spiritual intelligend roamed around, it might bee troublesome.

  "From now on, listen to me and don't wander off. I promise you will live the good life and enjoy the fi and spiciest."

  Xiao Yaook out a Rank 2 Magical Beast Monster Core. Sensing the vast energy within the core, the previously hesitant Nihility Dev Fme could no longer resist and clutched the core to start nibbling on it.

  After all, it had already accepted Xiao Yan as its 'caretaker,' so there was no sense in feeling aggrieved!
