Gate of Immortality

Chapter 165: Training with Fire Qi

Yang Shis' speed was something they never witnessed. So they became flustered after Yang Shi finished making his sword. " What? Let's go the forging hall and forge there." Yang Shi shouted. All of them nodded as they hastily went there. Due to i's almost night, there are fewer crowds in the forging hall. Yang Shi watched them as they started their forging.

" Shi Kun, increase the temperature in the beginning. Yes, Put Cold Iron now."

" Xin Rou- Stop stop! Don't put Silver ore crumb now."

" Li Gong, Yes! Control the speed of smelting of ores. Now, hammer it."

Yang Shi taught them for three hours straight as he felt his mouth going numb. " The heck! There are just too many flaws in their forging technique." Yang Shi rubbed his forehead. After three hours, they finally finished forging. Yang Shi looked at their weapons as he shook his head. It looked pretty ordinary. Shi Kun's weapon was the ugliest among them. It looked like a black ruler, with lots of unrefined metal on it. Yang Shi looked that all of their weapons are middle tier Mortal grade. Li Gong barely managed to make a high tier on. But Yang Shi became surprised to see that none of them looked unhappy. They were grinning ears to ears.

" Were you guys that bad before?" Yang Shi asked helplessly. " Indeed, It's my first time when I managed to forge a weapon in a single try." Shi Kun nodded. " You guys better work hard. I want to see each of you forge at least three high-tier Mortal grade weapons by tomorrow. This is your task." Yang Shi laughed. The disciple's face turned stiff as they became nervous. Just making middle tier weapon are hard for them, high tier? They felt it way too difficult.

Yang Shi didn't care about them as he went straight to Elder Lin's resident. " Eh? You came quite early? I was thinking to send someone to call you." Elder Lin laughed. " Come with me." He asked Yang Shi to follow him. After many twists and turned, YangShi reached a magnificent gate. Elder Lin took out a  badge as showed it. The gate slowly opened as Yang Shi saw a giant building inside. From outside of the gate, it looked extremely normal. " Illusion Formation?" Yang Shi asked in surprise.

" Yes. Blazing Flame Hall is the heart of our Golden Fire Tower. It's the entrance to the Fire vein. Of course, it's the most guarded place. The formations are powerful enough to repel several Violet Palace Expansion realm experts." Elder Lin laughed. Yang Shi nodded as he went inside. It was spacious enough to accommodate ten thousand people. There was only a door, leading to the underground. " The Blazing Flame Hall was divided into five floors. I think you should only go to the second floor. After that, the heat from the Fire vein increases tremendously.

" Is there any kind of restriction after that? I mean, what if I can endure the heat on the third floor?" Yang Shi asked. " Well, I am just warning you. You can go down further, but you should retreat immediately if you feel something wrong. Here, this an escape token, Use it if you feel you can't come to the exit." Elder Lin said in a serious tone. " I will." Yang Shi nodded. He absorbed energy from the Metal vein in the Eastern Valley town and felt it was indeed tyrannical qi. This Fire Vein was more than a hundred times powerful than the Metal vein, so Yang Shi thought to remain on guard.

The door opened as Yang Shi's vision dyed in crimson. Felt the temperature around him increase by tenfold. He stepped into it as his figure vanished. He felt walked into another plane. It was a large hall, with tens of room. " I was supposed to cultivate in those rooms. Well, Let's go to the second floor right now." Yang Shi giggled as he rushed to the second floor. When he reached the second floor, he felt heat rose again. He chose on of the room as began to revolve Great Yang Solar Flame Art.

That place had a very rich fire qi, so Yang Shi quickly gathered fire qi in his dantian. The efficiency impressed Yang Shi as his quality of Spirit flame began to increase. He condensed the true appearance of his Spirit Fire as he held it in his palms and sat in the lotus position. The Spirit Flame becoming stronger in every second. " Hmm, It's too slow. I have only time of twelve hours." Yang Shi muttered.

" Hey, Let's go further. I feel a strong amount of fire qi mixed with metal qi down there. I think I can also cultivate there a bit." Jin Yu shouted. Yang Shi thought as he decided to head for the third floor. After reaching the third floor, Yang Shi's clothes caught fire as they burnt to crisp. Moreover, his skin already started to turn red. Yang Shi revolved his Gold Devil Seal as his skin got protected by a thin layer of golden light. " The heat is too high here. No wonder it's a thousand-year-old fire vein." Yang Shi chuckled.

In the third floor, along with pure fire qi, metal also existed, as intense heat melted underground minerals, refining their energy and defusing it in the air. Yang Shi fed fire qi to his Spirit Fire and metal qi in his Gold Devil Seal. " You wait here, I will go further." Jin Yu came out of her egg as she went down directly to the fifth floor. Yang Shi sat quietly on the third floor as he immersed himself to raise his Spirit Flame into third grade. After six hours, the Crimson Lily in his dantian blazed with flames as Yang Shi's Spirit Flame became blue in shade.

" Finally, It turned to grade three. Grade three flames are the minimum requirement to forge True Grade weapons." Yang Shi smiled. But he still had a long way to go, to able to forge True grade weapons. But Yang Shi's suddenly thought something. " Wait, aren't their detection formations? If Jin Yu went directly to the fifth floor, won't she be detected by it?" Yang Shi panicked. Although he knew Jin Yu is an ancient beast, he didn't dare to underestimate Golden Fire Tower.

Yang Shi dashed to the fourth floor. He felt pressure on his body became intense as he finally used his Spiritual qi to protect his body. " Holy fuck! The heat is almost five hundred degrees celsius." Yang  Shi exclaimed. He walked slowly through the fourth floor. When he opened the door to the fifth floor, He suddenly felt an urge to going back. Just standing at the entrance, Yang Shi felt his Spiritual qi almost got evaporate by the fire qi on the fifth floor. " No, I can't step on the fifth floor." He hurriedly came back to the fourth floor.

" Don't worry, I am using a concealment technique." Jin Yu's voice sounded in his mind. Yang Shi sighed in relief as he sat to cultivate on the fourth floor. The metal qi is better than the third floor, so he greedily began to fill his Gold Devil Seal. After four hours, Yang Shi's opened his eyes. One could see golden light flashing in his eyes.
