Chapter 95 Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire
Chapter 95 Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire
Bai Sheng didn't say much.
He immediately created a clone.
The clone sped off into the desolate countryside.
Naturally, they went to retrieve the alchemy furnace and cauldron.
Meanwhile, the anxious Taoist priest Zhen Huan climbed up from under the stone wall.
With his withered hands bracing against the stone surface, he gasped for breath, then staggered to Bai Sheng's side and sat down cross-legged.
Begin to regulate your breathing and recover your strength.
After all, it's still important to maintain a presence and show your face more often, otherwise, Bai Shengzhen might forget about you.
They probably don't even qualify to be manual laborers anymore.
Bai Sheng suddenly looked at Jiang Xuelan, who was suspended in mid-air, and asked:
"Jiang Xuelan, I have a question for you."
Just how powerful is this divine ability refined from the essence of earth fire?
I originally planned to find the highest-grade earth energy to refine this supernatural power. This essence of earth fire has been buried for thousands of years, and it has quite a temper. I wonder if its grade is considered high or low?
Jiang Xuelan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she asked in return, "What kind of earth energy do you consider to be of the highest grade, young master?"
"I really don't know anything about this, I just spoke on instinct."
"I think the purer and stronger the earth's energy, the better," Bai Sheng said without hesitation.
"The higher the temperature and the denser the essence of earth fire, the greater the power of the supernatural abilities refined from it."
If there were an earth element more potent than this essence of earth fire, I would rather wait a few more years.
Jiang Xuelan gently shook her head: "Young master, you are mistaken."
I have seen many cultivators in the pre-Qin period who pursued the so-called "top-grade earth qi".
He exhausted his life's energy searching everywhere, only to find that although the earth energy he had refined was strong, it was incompatible with his own true essence attributes.
Its power is greatly reduced when used, and some people even go mad as a result.
The power of supernatural abilities does not lie in the level of one's rank, but rather in the degree of compatibility.
Young master, have you ever wondered why I spent several years searching for the Xuan Yin Qi in the far north?
It's not because of the high grade of the Xuan Yin Qi, but entirely because I possess both fire and wood spiritual roots.
When the fire element is excessive, it must be neutralized with the yin energy.
Only then can the Burning River and the Frost-Covered Stream complement each other.
"If I had coveted its power back then and sought out an even more potent essence of earth fire, the combination of the two fires would have been counterproductive."
Bai Sheng was silent for a moment, then slowly asked:
"You mean, supernatural powers themselves don't have an absolute hierarchy?"
"Exactly!"
Jiang Xuelan's soul floated forward half a foot. "Supernatural powers are like weapons; it's like some people wield swords while others wield knives."
Swords have their advantages, and knives have their uses; no weapon is absolutely the strongest!
A cultivator's talent lies in the extent to which they can utilize the earth energy they have cultivated.
I have seen a cultivator refine a divine power called "All Trees Rejuvenate in Spring" from an extremely ordinary essence of ancient wood.
During the duel, he strangled and killed a cultivator a realm higher than him with an ancient vine!
"Supernatural powers have no inherent superiority or inferiority; it is the cultivators who are of varying levels!"
Young master, do not underestimate this essence of earth fire. Although it is not the most supreme fire-elemental earth energy in the world,
But having been buried for thousands of years and never refined by anyone, its spirituality remains intact, and its ferocity endures.
I believe it is quite suitable for a cultivator like you, with a solid foundation in the mid-Foundation stage, to refine.
Once refined, its power will not depend on its grade, but on how the young master refines and utilizes it.
Bai Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing this situation, the old Taoist priest didn't care about anything else and hurriedly looked for a scene for himself.
"Young master, if this old Taoist dares to interject, Senior Jiang is absolutely right. Supernatural powers have no inherent superiority or inferiority."
However, the old Taoist believed that the power of supernatural abilities depended not only on the compatibility of the earth's energy but also on how the cultivator combined them.
The old Taoist priest once met a senior figure whose strength wasn't considered top-tier.
However, he possessed a very ordinary earth-elemental supernatural power, the Sand Sinking Technique, supplemented by a very ordinary water-elemental spell, the Mist Concealment Technique.
When combined, the two techniques can create quicksand traps out of thin air within a thick fog.
The opponent couldn't even see their surroundings before getting trapped.
This senior has few rivals among his peers thanks to these two unremarkable techniques.
If you, young master, can master the Earth Fire Divine Power, you should then find another method of refining Earth Qi that can complement it.
The combined power of these two elements is far more than just doubling; it can even achieve twice the result with half the effort!
Jiang Xuelan nodded slightly, unusually echoing the words of the True Taoist:
"Young friend, your words are indeed true!"
The Taoist priest was slightly surprised, after all, this old woman usually didn't give him a kind look at all.
Just because he lacked knowledge and experience, Jiang Xuelan used her seniority to suppress him at every turn!
I was actually a little touched...
Before long, the clone carried the alchemy furnace and weapon-refining cauldron back to the bottom of the lake.
The alchemy furnace was made entirely of bronze, with three legs and a round belly.
The lid of the stove is engraved with thunder patterns.
The refining cauldron was entirely crimson red, its body engraved with flame patterns.
It was several times heavier than the alchemy furnace.
The clone placed the two objects at the bottom of the lake.
It then transformed into a wisp of golden true essence and returned to Bai Sheng's body.
Jiang Xuelan floated to the alchemy furnace, examined it for a moment, and nodded slightly.
"Although this censer is not of the highest quality, its shape is regular and the thunder pattern is undamaged."
It is sufficient to refine the essence of this earth fire.
She asked Bai Sheng to put the refining cauldron aside for now.
He placed the alchemy furnace at the center of the water-dividing array and then began to verbally describe each step of the refining process.
Three hours
After simmering over a low flame,
Jiang Xuelan suddenly shouted:
"Switch to martial arts, Young Master Bai!"
Bai Sheng followed instructions and increased the temperature of the alchemical fire.
The entire alchemy furnace changed from bronze to dark red.
The golden thunder pattern on the furnace body shone brightly.
The essence of earth fire churned and boiled under the scorching heat.
The impurities on the core surface peeled off layer by layer.
It turned into platinum fragments that fell from the flames.
at this time,
"etc!"
Jiang Xuelan let out a surprised exclamation.
The soul floated forward for a while, almost touching the wall of the alchemy furnace.
His eyes were fixed on the ball of earth fire essence being forged in the heart of the furnace.
Bai Sheng had never seen her with such an expression before, and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
"Young master, please wait!" Jiang Xuelan exclaimed in surprise.
"This essence of earth fire... no, it's not ordinary essence of earth fire!"
"Young master, please look at the center of the furnace; its color is changing!"
Bai Sheng focused his attention on looking into the furnace.
The originally crimson-gold flame, under the tempering of martial fire,
The color kept changing.
It was first a reddish-gold color, then gradually faded to red.
It turned into an extremely pure and true gold!
The gold color lasted for a moment.
It began to deepen again, revealing a very faint and mysterious purple hue!
The purple hue was extremely thin and light, like a purple veil.
You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
"This is..." The Taoist priest got up from the ground, went closer to the alchemy furnace, and took a look.
He also showed an extremely shocked expression, "Senior Jiang, could this be...?"
Even seasoned experts don't know what this thing is, but they have to act like they're not completely clueless.
"Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire!"
