Chapter 320: Practicing the True Flame Technique
Liu Qing clapped his hands, and a servant immediately presented a scroll. He took it and handed it to Xiao Ling: "Here, let's see if there is anything you are interested in."
Xiao Ling took the scroll, unfolded it gently, and glanced at it. On the scroll, there were all kinds of rare medicinal materials, rare materials, and high-level magic cores. It can be seen that the Liu family is one of the managers of the Tianhuang City space wormhole. , The family background is indeed rich.
Those high-grade medicinal materials and high-grade magic cores that are rarely seen in ordinary times seem to be not uncommon here.
He couldn't help but admire: "You, the Liu family, are worthy of being the masters of Tianhuang City. This treasure house is really rich."
Liu Qing smiled, with a proud look on his face: "That's natural. Our Liu family is considered a well-known family in Tianhuang City. However, I know that these may not mean anything to you, but they are still my thoughts."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly and continued to browse the contents on the scroll. Although there were many treasures on the scroll, the eighth-level water attribute magic core that Xiao Ling had always wanted did not appear. It was the key material for him to refine Poria Green Pill. However, he was not disappointed for long, because his eyes were quickly attracted by a special item introduction.
"Demon Luo Fruit Seed!" Xiao Ling's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but smile with joy. This demon luo fruit is one of the important materials for refining Poria Green Pill, and he is worried that he can't find it.
Although the scroll showed only seeds, that was enough for him. With the ripening ability of the Sky Palm Bottle, it won't take long for this seed to grow into a mature Yao Luo Fruit.
Xiao Ling pointed to the introduction of the demon fruit seeds and smiled at Liu Qing: "Liu Qing, I am very interested in this demon fruit seed. I wonder if we can part ways with it as a gift?"
Liu Qing saw Xiao Ling's interest in the demon fruit seeds and asked curiously: "Why, are these demon fruit seeds useful to you?"
Xiao Ling nodded: "Yes, this demon fruit is exactly the medicinal material I need. Although it is only a seed, it is enough for me."
"Haha, that's great." Liu Qing laughed and said, "I'm giving you this demon fruit seed. It's a way of thanking you in advance for helping me refine the Emperor Pill."
If it was some other precious material, the old antiques in the family might not be willing to take it out without knowing Xiao Ling's real situation, but even though a mere seed was an eighth-level medicinal material, he could still easily mobilize it.
With that said, Liu Qing took out an exquisite jade plaque engraved with the Liu family's mark from his waist, handed it to the servant, and ordered: "Go to the treasure house to get the Yao Luo Fruit seeds and give them to Xiao Ling."
The servant responded, took the jade token, and quickly retreated.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling recorded this kindness in his heart. He smiled and said: "Haha, you are so generous, then I will naturally refine a top-quality Huangji Pill for you, and you will be guaranteed to achieve breakthrough after taking it. Two stars.”
"Haha, they are all our brothers. If you say this, you are out of touch." Liu Qing smiled and patted Xiao Ling's shoulder, "Besides, it is also an honor for our Liu family that you like something from our Liu family."
After a while, the servant brought in an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling opened the wooden box and found a light yellow seed inside, exuding a faint fragrance. It was the Yao Luo Fruit seed he needed.
Xiao Ling flicked his fingers, and the seeds of the Demonic Luo Fruit were put into the storage ring. He turned to Liu Qing and said, "Liu Qing, these Demonic Luo Fruit seeds are very important to me. As for the medicinal materials for refining Huangji Dan, I won't accept them from you."
After hearing this, Liu Qing smiled generously. He knew that Xiao Ling did not lack these medicinal materials, so he declined without pretentiousness: "Okay, so be it. Come on, you guys must be tired from the journey, let's go fill it in first." Belly, let’s talk while eating.”
With that said, Liu Qing led Xiao Ling and the others through the manor to the restaurant. The dining table is already filled with all kinds of delicacies. The aroma is fragrant and the color is attractive, which makes people's appetite increase at the first sight.
"Everyone, don't stand around. Sit down quickly. You're welcome. Enjoy." Liu Qing warmly invited.
Xiao Ling and the others were not restrained and picked up their chopsticks one after another and began to taste the food on the table. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and chatted in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
After drinking and eating, Liu Qing took Xiao Ling and others to a quiet courtyard in the Liu family manor. The environment here is elegant, the courtyard is fresh, the flowers and trees are sparse, and it is obviously carefully taken care of.
"Xiao Ling, please stay here during this period. This is one of the best guest rooms in my Liu family. The environment is quiet and suitable for rest." Liu Qing said while leading them around. "If you need anything, just give me orders."
Xiao Ling looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "It's very nice here, Liu Qing, thank you for the arrangement."
Liu Qing smiled and patted Xiao Ling's shoulder: "If you can come, our Liu family will be prosperous. I won't disturb your rest. I still have family affairs to deal with. I will have a meeting with the Cheng family soon. I’ll be busy during this time.”
"Okay, Liu Qing, you can go and do your work. There is no need to accompany us." Xiao Ling said understandingly.
"Okay, I won't disturb your rest." Liu Qing nodded, gave a few more instructions, and left.
After Xiao Ling and the others sent Liu Qing away, they each chose their rooms and began to arrange their own accommodation. The Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin were also very satisfied with the environment here, and couldn't help but admire the Liu family's hospitality.
"Senior Liu Qing is really enthusiastic, and the people in the Liu family are also very polite." The little doctor fairy said while sorting out her things.
Qinglin also agreed: "Yes, it seems that this senior Liu Qing is indeed a good person."
Xiao Ling smiled, sat on the stone bench in the yard, looked at the sunset in the sky, and secretly thought about the next plan in his heart.
The Yaoluo fruit seed has been obtained. The next step is to wait for it to mature. When the time comes, find an opportunity to collect an eighth-level water-attribute magic core, and then you can refine Fuling Qingdan.
Xiao Ling took out the freshly obtained Yaoluo fruit seeds and the Palm of Heaven Bottle from the storage ring, handed them to Xiao Yixian and said: "Xian'er, this Yaoluo fruit will be left to you to cultivate. I will refine an Huangji Pill for Liu Qing later, and then I will have to practice a fighting skill in seclusion."
"Leave it to me, no problem." Xiao Yixian took the seeds and the Palm of Heaven Bottle and responded confidently.
Xiao Ling nodded, gently rubbed Qinglin's hair, said goodbye, and turned and walked into the room he chose, ready to practice in seclusion.
As night fell, the Liu family's manor became more peaceful and beautiful in the night. Xiao Ling and his friends also began their short stay at the Liu family in this tranquility.
…
Xiao Ling stepped into the room, and was greeted by a fresh breath. The layout was both exquisite and neat, which made people feel happy.
He looked around and found that there was a small and fully functional practice room in the corner of the room. Xiao Ling smiled slightly, obviously satisfied with this arrangement.
He walked into the practice room with ease. It was quiet and private, and it was an excellent area for refining pills. Xiao Ling planned to help Liu Qing refine the Huangji Pill next.
In the practice room, Xiao Ling made a move, and the Lingcui Ding landed steadily in front of him. This tripod exuded a faint halo, and mysterious runes flowed on the surface. The fragrance of medicinal materials filled the whole room.
Then, Xiao Ling flipped his palm, and the various medicinal materials needed to refine the Huangji Pill were neatly placed on the stone table beside him. The fragrance of the medicinal materials spread in the air, and taking a breath made people feel comfortable.
Then, his mind moved slightly, and the strange fire in his body rushed into the Lingcui Ding like a flexible fire snake. The flames jumped in the cauldron, illuminating the entire training room red.
For Xiao Ling, refining the sixth-grade Huangji Pill was no longer a difficult task. His movements were smooth and every step was just right. The medicinal materials gradually released their essence under the scorching of the strange fire.
Time passed unknowingly, and only an hour later, a round Huangji Pill was born in the Lingcui Ding.
This pill was undoubtedly of the highest quality under the nourishment of Xiao Ling's spiritual soul power.
Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and the Huangji Pill in the jade bottle flew out lightly and landed in his palm.
He carefully examined the pill in his hand, only to see that it was round and translucent, emitting a faint luster, and it was obviously of extraordinary quality. Xiao Ling nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied with the quality of this Huangji Pill.
Taking out a jade bottle, Xiao Ling waved it lightly, and the Huangji Pill was put into the bottle, and then he properly stored the jade bottle in the storage ring.
After refining the Huangji Pill promised to Liu Qing, Xiao Ling put away the medicine cauldron and walked out of the practice room. Next, he planned to start practicing, the True Flame Art, and condense the Huasheng Fire.
Xiao Ling sat on the bed and gently stroked the storage ring on his fingers. With a wave of his hand, three porcelain bottles appeared in front of him, filled with beast fires that reached the seventh level, including the one he had asked from Xiao Zi before.
For various reasons before, Xiao Ling had not been able to find time to practice the "True Flame Art". Now that he finally had some free time, he decided to take the opportunity to practice the Huasheng Fire.
He pulled out the stoppers of the three porcelain bottles at random, and the three pairs of beast fires inside seemed to feel free and immediately became active, with flames jumping as if they were about to break through the bottle mouth.
Xiao Ling, however, looked calm, and opened his mouth to suck the three groups of beast fire into his stomach. He already had the strange fire of the Lord of Ten Thousand Fires in his body, which had a natural suppressive power over these beast fires. In addition, with the top fire control technique "Five-Wheel Fire Separation Method" he had practiced, it was not difficult for him to control these three groups of beast fires.
As soon as the beast fire entered Xiao Ling's body, the strange fire in his body pounced on him like a group of beasts. The sense of oppression from the superior to the inferior made the three beast fires wilt instantly, and the originally blazing flames suddenly became sluggish.
At the moment when the beast fire shriveled, Xiao Ling's mind moved, and three streams of fighting spirit with golden flames gushed out like streams, tightly wrapping the three beast fires.
Following Xiao Ling's will, Dou Qi turned into three rotating cyclones. Their speed became faster and faster, and the pressure on the flame became stronger and stronger. Dou Qi began to slowly penetrate into the flame.
At the same time, Xiao Ling's soul power also spread like water waves, penetrating into every corner of the flame, monitoring every change of the flame.
Tempering beast fire is a delicate job. If there is a slight mistake, those violent factors may get out of control, making the previous efforts come to nothing.
Only by continuous tempering can the beast fire be polished to the extreme. However, with Xiao Ling's strong soul power, there is no need to worry about the problem of exhaustion of power...
Time flies. After two days of careful tempering, the three beast fires have been compressed to the size of a thumb by Xiao Ling. Although the size has become smaller, the hot breath they emit is several times more intense than before.
Xiao Ling stared at the three flames and whispered to himself:
"It's time to let you become one."
The golden flames, like loyal guards, vigilantly surrounded the three beast fires that were about to merge. Xiao Ling's mind moved slightly, and a powerful force gushed out of his body, violently wrapping the three flames and beginning to squeeze them towards the center.
"Bang!"
When the three flames touched, it was like three strangers with different personalities were suddenly pushed together. The strong sense of repulsion made them burst out with layers of three-color fire waves.
However, these fire waves could only flash in vain for a few times in the solid barrier constructed by Xiao Ling's golden flames, and then they were absorbed without a trace, failing to cause any interference to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling didn't care about this sudden fire storm. He concentrated his mind, burst out his soul power, and forcibly pressed these flames together.
Fire is a wild and unruly existence in nature. If you want to control them, you must first make them surrender and let their violence become your power, not a self-destructive weapon.
Just like now, the three flames were forced to merge, and the repulsive force between them made them vibrate violently like a volcano about to erupt, and the heat waves spread everywhere.
At this moment, Xiao Ling's soul power drilled into the flames. He could feel the violent factors in different flames colliding with each other, and this collision stimulated a stronger burst attribute.
He noticed that the fused flame was like a volcano about to erupt, which could erupt at any time. But Xiao Ling was calm and composed, his eyes condensed, and he commanded the surging golden flames to squeeze over, and suppressed the three-color flames that were about to get out of control.
"Come on, let's see who is tougher and can hold on." Xiao Ling muttered in his heart. This kind of head-on competition is exactly his strong point!
As the suppression force continued to increase, the violent attributes in the three-color flames were also forced to double. The three flames that were already forcibly fused finally exploded at this moment!
The flames exploded, and the terrifying fire waves raged around, and the surrounding temperature soared instantly. But Xiao Ling was not in a hurry. He quickly mobilized the golden flame to counterattack and compressed the raging fire waves back.
Xiao Ling squeezed the three flames together again. This time, the power contained in the flames was even more violent. Not long after, the suppressed volcano erupted wildly again.
Xiao Ling's body shook slightly, his brows knitted, and a low roar came from the depths of his throat: "Stop it!"
He kept urging the golden flame, which surged out like a tide, and suppressed the violent flames in his body. Under the powerful suppression of the strange fire, the riot finally subsided slowly.
In the golden flame, the original three flames had disappeared, replaced by a very small, flickering pale flame. This is the "Huasheng Fire" fire seed that Xiao Ling cultivated.
As long as the beast fire is continued to be cultivated in the future, this Huasheng Fire can grow further. Although it has its limits, it can also help Xiao Ling to a certain extent.
Xiao Ling flicked his fingers lightly, and a small ball of pale flame danced lightly on his fingertips, like a flame spirit with life, agile and mysterious.
He whispered to himself: "Although it is just a simulation, fake is still fake after all. Compared with those real strange fires, it always lacks a bit of spirituality."
This newborn fire is still very weak and can't be used for the time being. It needs to be nourished by other beast fires to make it gradually grow stronger. But this is not a difficult task for Xiao Ling. He has a wide variety of beast fires in his hands, enough to cultivate this newborn fire.
He snapped his fingers lightly, and the pale flame "whoosh" and nimbly rushed into his body.
Then, Xiao Ling tapped his fingers again, and more than 20 bottles and jars appeared on the bed in front of him. These containers were filled with colorful beast fires, which jumped in the bottles and were full of vitality.
These beast fires were collected by Xiao Ling from the treasure houses of various forces and along the way. If he had not given some to the Skyfire Venerable before, he would have had more beast fires in his hands.
Xiao Ling did not hesitate at all. He waved his hand lightly, and the lids of the porcelain bottles containing beast fires in front of him flew up automatically.
He took a deep breath, and more than 20 beast fires of various shapes and colors seemed to be attracted by the invisible vortex, and were sucked into his mouth and sent into his body.
For ordinary people, this is absolutely a crazy move, which is equivalent to burying a time bomb in the body. However, Xiao Ling seemed to be at ease.
His soul power is extremely powerful, and he has already reached the spiritual realm soul. In addition, with the strange fire in his body, these beast fires are just docile kittens in front of him.
Xiao Ling closed his eyes, and with a thought, those beast fires were controlled by him, slowly approaching the newborn fire. The golden strange fire was like a big net, wrapping these beast fires tightly, leaving them no room for resistance.
Under Xiao Ling's control, the beast fires seemed like tamed beasts, and could only obediently transfer their power to the pale Huasheng Fire.
Huasheng Fire greedily absorbed these powers, and its flames gradually became vigorous, and the color changed from pale to a deep gray.
As time went by, Huasheng Fire became more and more powerful, its flames jumped, emitting a kind of heart-pounding fluctuations. Xiao Ling could feel that the power of this Huasheng Fire was constantly growing. Although it was far less than any of the strange fires in his body, it was enough to make his strength reach a higher level.
A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips. He knew that as long as he continued to cultivate it like this, this Huasheng Fire would become a great help to him.
