Chapter 183 Usage of Azure Flame
Chapter 183 Usage of Azure Flame
Long Ming simply wore his pants as he walked out of the courtyard. It was already late night as the moonlight shone outside.
His body was glistening with sweat as the gentle breeze made his skin feel cool.
' Along with a considerable about of Fragrant Yin Qi, I also absorbed the flame qi that Shui Huan cultivated for years.'
Long Ming already acquired the Azure Flame Royal Body. Sitting under the moonlight, he activated his Initial Completion Azure Flame Royal Body.
Sitting in the lotus position, a lump of azure flame appeared on his palm, burning gently like flowing water. Although the azure flame looked slow and harmless, it devoured the accumulated flame qi in Long Ming's body.
As Long Ming fed it more and more flame qi, the azure flame started to circulate inside his body along with his blood. He could feel the flame completely merged with his physique.
' Hmm, This azure flame isn't a pure flame. To reach the Minor Completion stage and cross the minor tribulation, I need to let it devour both Yang attribute Flame and Wood Attribute flame.' Long Ming pondered inwardly.
Long Ming sat cross legged as he manipulated the azure flame. Along with cultivating the physique, Long Ming also grasped the Flame Intent. After that, Long Ming had various plans to use the flames both in the field of production and battle.
' Hmm, I remember I got many nice stuff from that Elder Liao. Time to stretch by body and practice alchemy a bit.'
He already studied all the pill refinement techniques and other alchemical techniques stored in Elder Liao's spatial ring. Although she was a piece of shit, her title as Alchemy Grandmaster can easily give her a reputable position even in big sects.
Therefore, all the materials gathered by her throughout the years are pretty significant and precious. And now, Long Ming thoroughly comprehended all of them and was ready to get serious in alchemy.
' Hmm, I am sure I already crossed the stage of Alchemy Apprentice. But, I need to test my limits.'
Long Ming took out the cauldron of Elder Liao and used his azure flame to light it up. Since it's the flame born from his physique, controlling it was much easier than controlling earth flames inside the alchemy chambers of Four Seasons Valley's Medicinal Hall.
" Blue Stone Clover, Deep Earth Twisted Roots, Spirit Spring Grass…" Long Ming already studied various pill recipes and their refinement formulas. Currently, he was trying to refine a rank four pill that can be taken by even the Peaks tage True Core Formation Realm.
The flames buzzed as the medicinal herbs slowly melted under the watchful gaze of Long Ming. Long Ming's spiritual qi surged as he could sense the minute changes inside the cauldron and the reaction of various medicinal herbs with each other.
Long Ming used a special type of flame controlling technique and divided the flames into multiple threads, controlling the temperature of the cauldron with extreme precision.
He already crossed the essence extraction phase and now is the phase of blending.
' Hmm, Flame Tongue Grass is incompatible in low temperatures. But, if I add some Spirit Spring Grass, its melting point would decrease…'
Long Ming remembered the chemical reactions between various herbs. So, controlling the temperature and catalysts, Long Ming also crossed the blending phase.
' Now, The last and most crucial phase, Pill Condensation.' Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed as he activated his Temporal Fate Simulation Technique.
Suddenly, the surroundings around him became hazy as his spiritual qi depleted rapidly. With his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he could easily calculate various variables during the pill condensation and its result.
Quickly rejecting the future outcomes full failures, Long Ming easily found the best and most efficient way to condense the pills.
*CLACK CLACK!*
The spirit cauldron trembled as soft popping noises escaped from it. Long Ming put out the azure flames as he opened the cauldron lid. With a sweep of his palm, seven round and shiny pills jumped into his palm,
" Hmm, Three of them are eight ringed pills and the rest are seven ringed pills. That means the efficiency of medicinal pill is around 70-80%' Long Ming sighed.
' Even though the transcending grade is a bit far fetched, I thought I could refine perfect grade medicinal pills with a single try.'
If Elder Liao or any other Alchemy Grandmaster hears Long Ming's words, they might cough a mouthful of blood and die out of anger.
Pills are divided according to the rings formed on it during alchemy. Each ring defines 10% of the medicinal effect. The more medicinal effect percentage is, the more medicinal power a cultivator can absorb and the more expensive it gets.
Two ringed pills are Low grade pills, Four ringed ones are Mid grade, Six ringed ones are high grade and eight ringed ones are called Peak grade pills.
Nine ringed pills are extremely rare as they require deep alchemical comprehension and techniques which honed through centuries. Those pills are called perfect pills with 90% efficiency.
As for 10 ringed ones? Those and called Transcdending pills which only existed in folklore or deep in the Heavenly Emperor's treasuries.
An ordinary alchemist can only refine mid grade pills and that alone can make them feel superior. It required years of study and experiments and countless failures.
However, Long Ming casually refined seven pills which are peak grade and high grade pills respectively. Yet, He sounded like a talentless individual who failed.
' These are called Core Enhancement Pills. I should probably sell these pills in Inner Disciple Zone as it's beneficial for True Core Formation stage cultivators.'
After refining a few more rank four pills, Long Ming started to refine rank five pills. To his surprise, he failed once before creating a bottle of Spirit Unity Pills for Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators.
" Hmm, With my spiritual qi and ability, I can easily refine pills of rank five. So, I am eligible for being an Alchemy Grandmaster I guess." Long Ming smacked his lips as he looked at various bottles of pills before him.
Although the pills he refined were easiest of each ranks, it still shows the capabilities of Long Ming. With a bit more training, He is sure that he can refine pills for Harmonization Realm Cultivators.
However, That will be the current limit of Long Ming. Unless he increases his spiritual qi and qi cultivation to the Harmonization Realm, he won't be able to reach the Alchemy King Realm,
But that's the matter of the future. Currently, Long Ming already achieved what he wanted to achieve.
' Hmm, If I want to refine treasures, I will need a different cauldron and forging table for it. If I use the same cauldron for pill refinement and treasure forging, both things will be affected and the rate of success would decrease.'
Long Ming stretched his body as he looked at the sky. The moon already reached the western horizon and the sky already started to brighten. Judging from the intense dual cultivation last night, he doubted if Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Shui Huan could get up.
His Raging Flame Wing flapped as he streaked across the sky. However, as he was casually roaming around the sect, he saw a peculiar scene.
She saw Mu Qinglian in her courtyard practicing her fist and movement techniques. Her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body's power was on full display as displayed various techniques.
Suddenly, Mu Qinglian's expression shifted as she raised her palm. A fiery, gigantic palm condensed in mid air, like a palm of flame demon. The palm shot toward a tree with a fast speed.
*BOOM BOOOM*
A wave of water rose as a gigantic mountain appeared before the palm, crushing it thoroughly. The flames extinguished as the images of water waves and mountains vanished.
" You have improved quite a lot from last time." Mu QInglian let out a faint smile as she glanced at the figure leaning on the tree.
" Aiya, Where is the elegance and etiquette of a noble lady?" Long Ming shook his head. " Attacking a person even without looking at them, Senior Sister pretty uncouth."
" Talking about elegance and etiquette, huh?" Mu Qinglian glanced at Long Ming. " Coming to a lady's courtyard at such time while being half naked, is that your elegance?"
" Ah…That."
Long Ming almost forgot that his top body was still bare. He was actually thinking about returning straight to his Solitary Flower Peak. But since he came here accidentally, he forgot about being half naked.
Mu Qinglian walked near Long Ming as her brows creased. " What's with this…strange smell? It's…such a strange fragrance…mixed with the fragrance of various women…"
" Were you…" She looked at Long Ming with a suspicious gaze.
" Ahaha…I don't know what you talking about." Long Ming's expression turned stiff when he heard that.
" Hmph! Come and train with me right away! Let's see how much your strength has improved."
" Aigoo! Senior Sister, I am already very tired."
' Tired? From doing what…"
Long Ming blushed. " It's…a special type of…cultivation. Yes, I was cultivating."
But before he could add anything else, Mu Qinglian's fist already reached near his face.
