From there, he moved on to Flame Ridge Peak. Here, he found Lan Mei, a striking woman with fiery red hair. Lan Mei was an inner disciple at the 8th stage of the Half Immortal realm, specializing in the Ember Lotus Art.
Aric handed her a Blazing Qi Pill, explaining that it would enhance her fire techniques and raise her resistance to intense heat.
After that he visited the Azure Wind Peak. There, Aric encountered Feng Nian, a soft-spoken inner disciple with a talent for wind manipulation. Her delicate features and flowing robes gave her a natural, ethereal beauty. She was at the 9th stage of the Half Immortal realm, and Aric felt she would be a valuable addition to his list. He offered her a Wind Essence Pill, crafted to deepen her connection with wind energy and enhance agility. Feng Nian accepted with a graceful nod, her gentle smile hinting at gratitude and curiosity about her mysterious new benefactor.
