Chapter 706 Fiery Constituent
The temperature of the living room rose rapidly. It was as if Josephine had turned into a hot furnace, causing everyone to back away from her.
“Fire… Fire…” Lizbeth screamed suddenly.
The couch Josephine sat on began to produce smoke due to her high heat.
Jared noticed the smoke and rushed to move Josephine away. However, he could not help flinching when he touched her. Josephine’s body was so hot that it felt like hot iron bars.
“Josephine, Josephine, the couch is burning. You must get up!” Lizbeth shouted, but Josephine did not seem to hear her.
Jared began to panic and looked at Rayleigh. He wanted to know what was happening and what technique Rayleigh had taught her.
Rayleigh frowned and released a burst of cold air all over his body. He kept releasing cold air until frost covered his hands.
“Both of you step aside. I will try using Ice Palm…” Rayleigh said and used his frost-covered hands to lift Josephine.
Sizzle, sizzle…
The frost on Rayleigh’s hands sizzled as they touched Josephine. In the next moment, water vapor surrounded them.
Rayleigh gritted his teeth and moved Josephine away from the couch. At the same time, the said couch suddenly burst into flame.
Jared quickly extinguished the flame with water. He also kept his eyes on Josephine and was really worried about her.
“Mr. Deragon, what happened to Josephine?” Jared asked worriedly.
Rayleigh shook his head. “I’m not sure either. What I taught her was an ordinary technique. I don’t understand why she became like this.”
Jared became more anxious when he found out that Rayleigh did not know what was happening.
Meanwhile, the temperature in the living room kept rising, making it feel like the inside of a furnace. After a while, Melanie, Lizbeth, and Lyanna could not stand it anymore and ran outside.
Jared and Rayleigh were drenched in sweat as they remained in the living room and fought hard against the heat waves with their spiritual energy. At the same time, they observed Josephine closely.
Although the temperature was unbearable, there was no trace of sweat on Josephine’s face. Apart from her flushed skin, she seemed fine.
Suddenly, Rayleigh gasped and widened his eyes. “I think I got it. Could this be the legendary fiery constituent?”
“Fiery constituent?” Jared was stunned for a moment. He looked at Rayleigh blankly.
Seeing Jared’s confused expression, Rayleigh explained, “Fiery constituent is a rare bodily condition. A person with a fiery constituent can cultivate at a much faster speed than an ordinary person. Also, once someone with fiery constituent ventured into spiritual energy cultivation, her body would cease to fear flame. She would not feel the heat even if she stands in the middle of a roaring fire, and the fire would not hurt her…”
Jared seemed to realize something upon hearing Rayleigh’s explanation. He nodded and said, “Is it similar to someone with a frosty constituent? Once they ventured into spiritual energy cultivation, the person would cease to be affected by low temperature, right?”
Jared knew about the frosty constituent because Erasmus’ daughter, Renee, had it. However, Renee had not begun spiritual energy cultivation then. When she suffered from frosty energy, she needed Starry Compass to remove it from her. Otherwise, she could die.
Jared had never expected Josephine to have a fiery constituent. He had never noticed anything unusual about her.
“Fiery constituent is many times more powerful than a frosty constituent. Melanie and her sister, Lyanna, were born with the aptitude to bewitch. Although it is a unique ability, it pales compared to a frosty constituent and does not help much with cultivation. On the other hand, people with frosty constituents cultivate much faster than ordinary people. Although Renee started her cultivation journey later than you, her power is likely comparable to yours now,” Rayleigh explained to Jared patiently.
