Chapter 26 The Power of Earth Fire
Fu Ling took Ling Xiao and stopped in a corner at the bottom of the cave.
Ling Xiao looked forward, but saw a red world in front of him. The hot red flames swept through dozens of miles away, and he could not see the edge. The flames kept tumbling and rolling up like rushing rivers, rolling endlessly. The surrounding rock walls were burned red and red, and the dazzling colors were a little dazzling, making people dare not look directly at them.
There was a pillar of fire in the middle, which was carried by an inexplicable force to soar into the sky, circling up like a fire dragon, disappearing from the extreme of vision.
Such a vast scene shocked Ling Xiao's heart.
Although I use earth fire on weekdays, I know that the temperature of earth fire is unimaginable, but when I really go deep into the source of earth fire, even if I am protected by Fu Ling's Yan Sun Silhouette, I can still feel a wave of heat coming. I can't help but my heart trembles slightly. If I don't have Fu Ling's protection, I'm afraid that he will be burned into ashes here in an instant.
"The pillar of fire in the middle," Fu Ling said lightly, "It is the third master of Yunting, who uses great magical powers to lead it from the source of this earth fire, guide it with magic arrays, and reaches the surface of the earth thousands of feet away, and is used for our daily alchemy and weapon refining. My Qiyun Sect can pass on it for thousands of years and is dependent on this earth fire. This is also the only source of earth fire in the entire Qiyun Mountains."
With Ling Xiao's personality, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
Such a surging fire pillar and the blazing temperature were so fierce that he could not even get close to it. Master Yunting could actually lead the earth fire to the surface of the earth thousands of feet away, and use magic circles to bind it to alchemy?
Thinking of the rumors, Master Yunting seemed to have a cultivation level in the Golden Pill stage and lived for more than 300 years.
The great monks of the Golden Elixir stage already have such magical powers that are so powerful that they can reach the sky. It is really hard to imagine what kind of unpredictable magic power should be in the Nascent Soul Stage and the God Transformation Stage above the Golden Elixir?
Ling Xiao was fascinated by the heart, but Fu Ling continued to say, "It's a pity that although the leader of Yunting is amazing, he has no successor. Since the leader of Yunting, after more than a thousand years, after six generations, I, Qiyun Sect, have never produced a Jindan stage cultivator. Speaking of the leader of Yunting, he has laid the foundation for Qiyun Sect for thousands of years. It is better to say that it is not the achievements of his predecessors."
Speaking of this, her voice couldn't help but feel a little low.
Ling Xiao didn't feel much. After all, he was still eager to break through to the third level of Qi training. Whether it was the Golden Elixir Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was still too far away from him.
Besides, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart. With Fu Ling's double decade of cultivation, he had already built the second level of foundation-building cultivation, breaking through the big barrier and entering the Golden Elixir stage. No matter how he thought about it, there was hope, right? Why should she be so worried?
Could it be that Qiyun Sect has had any hidden dangers in recent years?
He vaguely guessed in his heart. But after all, he was just a low-level outer disciple. Although Fu Ling valued it, the secrets in the sect were far from what he could understand.
Fortunately, Fu Ling was only accidentally caused by feelings, and soon collected his mind. He ordered Ling Xiao, "I will bring you earth fire here. You can use cloud claws to drive it to carefully sense the quality of earth fire."
After a moment of pause, he said, "That magic trick can also be practiced."
"Yes." Ling Xiao was moved and responded quickly.
Fu Ling had already waved her long sleeves, but she saw her pair of small hands as tender as jade, stretching out from her wide sleeves, changing her fingers, and slapped out one after another. Then she stretched out her hand and saw a pillar of fire as thick as a palm at the source of the earth fire in front of her, suddenly jumping out from it and heading straight for them.
It was only a few dozen feet apart, and it was almost blinking.
"Price the tips!" Fu Ling shouted.
Ling Xiao did not dare to be negligent, and quickly followed the essence of the cloud claws taught by Fu Ling these days, and slapped out one after another. The red clouds like a long river appeared in the void, slapped at the rolled pillar of fire.
But the power of this earthly fire is really unimaginable.
The magic tricks Ling Xiao pinched were almost the moment he touched the pillar of fire, and were quietly knocked away by the surging flames. The pillar of fire was as straight as a dragon holding its head up, and came straight towards him without stopping.
The moment the magic trick was scattered by the pillar of fire, Ling Xiao's breath sensed that his chest was as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing the pillar of fire coming towards him, Ling Xiao felt that my life was over.
But Fu Ling shouted loudly in his ears, "Come again!"
She saw her pair of jade hands flying in the flames all over the sky, and a series of magic tricks were shot out. The moment the fire pillar rushed to the sky, it was suddenly pulled up to the sky. The bitter wind brought about by the two of them, which made them feel excited.
Ling Xiao quickly calmed down the surging blood and continued to pinch the magic tricks, trying to pull the pillar of fire one or two hard.
...
This is the real earth fire.
In comparison, the earth fire used by Ling Xiaopingsu to refine alchemy is as worthless as pediatrics.
In fact, Fu Ling's meaning is not to want Ling Xiao to really control the earth fire, but to let him truly feel the power and quality of the earth fire at close range.
Only by being familiar with earth fire can we control the flame more carefully in the alchemy and refine more excellent elixirs.
Ling Xiao naturally understood what Fu Ling meant and was even more grateful.
He knew in his heart that this was because Fu Ling valued his "elixir talent", so he took so much effort to bring him to the root of earth fire and get in close contact with earth fire.
But in fact, Ling Xiao knew even more that his so-called "elixir talent" was just relying on the strange flame in his body. Therefore, he felt guilty about Fu Ling's emphasis on such dedication and hard work. But it was difficult to speak out directly, so he could only work harder.
It is not easy to get familiar with the nature of this earth fire.
After all, his cultivation is too weak. When he follows the Cloud Claw Magic, when he wants to try to touch the fire pillar, he will always be easily defeated by the huge power surging in the fire pillar.
Under the sensation of the qi, the true qi he sacrificed was defeated, and he himself was not feeling well.
Every time it was like a heavy hammer, hitting hard on his chest. Even later, he felt his chest tight, and his eyes were dizzy, almost unstable, just gritted his teeth and persisted desperately...
Ling Xiao's "diligence" also made Fu Ling move.
I became more and more satisfied with Ling Xiao. Although my cultivation was a little weaker and I was always a little impatient, but I had good talent for alchemy and sincere and diligent people. This was already rare, and it was not in vain for her efforts.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was already shaking, he couldn't hold on anymore. Fu Lingcai waved his sleeve and retreated the pillar of fire back. He breathed slightly. With her current cultivation level of the second level of foundation building, it was still extremely difficult to face the raging earth fire. He drove the earth fire for nearly an hour and did not dare to slack off at all, which also consumed a lot of money on her.
Ling Xiao's true energy had already been exhausted, but he could only hold on with one breath. As soon as Fu Ling retreated the pillar of fire, he immediately collapsed on the ground and gasped heavily.
Fu Ling also adjusted his breath for a moment, then waved his sleeves and said lightly: "Let's go."
After saying that, he carried Ling Xiao, turned into a red light and fled straight to the direction of his origin.
...
From this day on, Ling Xiao's cultivation has another one.
There are always one or two times a month when I am carried by Fu Ling, and I will go to the root of the earth fire to feel the power of the earth fire at close range and be familiar with the nature of the earth fire. And every time I end, I will be so tired that I almost lost half of my life.
Thanks to Ling Xiao's tough personality and the strange flame in his body, he was able to grit his teeth and persevere.
However, the benefits he gained were also amazing.
With the experience of the root of earth fire, I suddenly felt that I could control the earth fire when I was refining elixirs. Driven by his magic tricks, I felt like I was using my fingers. I could control the earth fire very carefully and control the temperature I needed.
And under the pressure of the earth fire, his continuous use of cloud claws made him more skillful in using cloud claws. He made all kinds of magic tricks, and he would be able to move more and more smoothly and as he pleased.
In this way, his quality and success rate of alchemy have increased greatly.
If the material is burned into pure powder with the help of the strange flame in the body, then the final alchemy results will hardly be in the low-grade Peiyuan Pill. Even if the strange flame is not used, the success rate of the alchemy can be maintained at every three parts of the material, and the quality is also mixed with low-grade Peiyuan Pill.
Ling Xiao truly felt his progress.
Of course, this is also because he repeatedly refined Peiyuan Pills and was very familiar with Peiyuan Pills. If he refined other first-level pills, the success rate would still be slightly lower. But compared to the past, it was much better than it was.
In addition, Ling Xiao also made progress in that magic trick. Now he can produce thirteen and fourteen magic tricks in one breath.
Although it is still far from the level of "skillfulness", it is still a good progress.
Of course, cultivation is the foundation.
Although Ling Xiao has been learning alchemy with Fu Ling, he has not relaxed at all in his practice. The true energy in his body is rolling, which is more than twice as powerful as when he first entered the second level of Qi training, and he has already faintly touched the bottleneck of Qi training.
Maybe when you encounter opportunities, you can make a breakthrough naturally.
More than two months passed in a flash.
It has been more than four months since Ling Xiao learned to refine elixir with Fu Ling. Autumn goes and winter comes, and the weather gradually becomes colder. A heavy snowfall two days ago covered half of Qiyun Peak.
Although Ling Xiao’s cultivation level of Qi Li’s second level is far from being invincible to the point of cold and heat, his true qi is not afraid of this level of cold when it moves to protect himself.
Today is the day when Fu Ling takes him to the root of earth fire again.
After Ling Xiao arrived at Fuling Cave early, Fuling took him deep into the source of the earth fire.
Ling Xiao has been with Fu Ling several times and is already familiar with it. After Fu Ling follows the usual practice, he leads a pillar of fire from the source of the earth fire, he pinches the Cloud Claw magic trick and continues to try to contact the pillar of fire.
Once, twice...
The magic tricks Ling Xiao were always easily defeated by the surging power contained in the fire pillar as if he had an egg hit a stone. Ling Xiao always made the next wave of magic tricks without hesitation.
Soon the true energy was exhausted again.
But when he was gritting his teeth and persevering, his mind suddenly moved. The true energy that had been gradually exhausted actually felt like it was resurrected.
He immediately understood that this was his opportunity to break through to the third level of Qi training!
Chapter completed!
