Chapter 188 Refining [Meteoric Sky Flame] (1/2)

In the book "The Upgrade and Downgrade of Spiritual Fire", it is introduced in detail how to upgrade low-level spiritual fire and how to upgrade downgraded spiritual fire.

Some of the chapters also introduce several methods of swallowing spiritual fire.

First of all, it should be made clear that not every low-level spiritual fire has the potential to be upgraded to a high-level spiritual fire.

As for how to judge, this process is very complicated and requires a lot of investment, so I won't go into details here.

However, the book "The Upgrade and Downgrade of Spiritual Fire" introduces an example, a true legendary story of upgrading from a lower-grade yellow-level spiritual fire to a higher-grade heaven-level spiritual fire.

The spiritual fire in the story is the cover of this book, the [Red Flame Spiritual Fire].

[Red Flame Spiritual Fire] is a very rare spiritual fire that is born in the stove.

After a spiritual wood is burned on a stove that has not fallen for a hundred years, there is a very small chance that [Red Flame Spiritual Fire] will be born by chance.

At the beginning of the birth of [Red Flame Spiritual Fire], it often brings a fire that is difficult to extinguish.

Therefore, once the [Red Flame Spiritual Fire] appears, it will be discovered quickly.

Before the man who upgraded the [Red Flame Spiritual Fire] to the Heaven-level Spiritual Fire appeared, the price of the [Red Flame Spiritual Fire] remained at the lowest end of the Yellow-level Lower-grade Spiritual Fire.

Because the elixir refined with the [Red Flame Spiritual Fire] actually has a smell of fireworks, which completely covers the fragrance of the elixir.

Although it does not affect the effect of the elixir, few people who can afford the elixir can accept this kind of elixir with a smell of fireworks.

Therefore, the price of the [Red Flame Spiritual Fire] naturally fell all the way.

After the man appeared, the price of the [Red Flame Spiritual Fire] began to soar.

It was outrageous that the original Yellow-level Lower-grade Spiritual Fire could be sold at the price of the Earth-level Spiritual Fire.

Taking this example as an example, the book describes a method to upgrade low-level spiritual fire to high-level spiritual fire.

It is called—[Spiritual Assimilation].

Use a special method to break up a certain spiritual fire of the same level as the low-level spiritual fire to be upgraded, and then drive the low-level spiritual fire to devour the spiritual essence of the broken spiritual fire.

The spiritual essence is the most important thing for spiritual fire, and the demotion of spiritual fire is essentially the disappearance and reduction of the spiritual essence.

If the spiritual essence is destroyed, the spiritual fire will be extinguished quickly. At this time, if there is no other spiritual fire to assimilate these destroyed spiritual essences.

These spiritual essences will disappear between heaven and earth in minutes.

The method of [Spiritual Assimilation] can also be used in the process of upgrading the degraded spiritual fire.

In addition to this method, there is another way for the degraded spiritual fire to upgrade - [Spiritual Compensation. ]

The reason why the degraded spiritual fire is degraded is due to the spiritual environment. Although the spiritual essence in the body has dissipated a lot, its foundation is still there.

As long as enough spiritual energy is provided to allow the spiritual fire to absorb and exhale spiritual energy in a saturated manner, it can gradually recover.

The cost of these two recovery methods is very high.

Even the resources spent in the end may be enough to buy a new earth-level lower-grade spiritual fire.

But even so, there will still be people willing to cultivate low-level spiritual fire to high-level spiritual fire.

It's just because high-level spiritual fire is hard to come by.

Even the lowest-level yellow-level lower-grade spiritual fire, Da Zhou will only have one or two every year.

Most of them will be bought by alchemists, and the rest will be bought by the royal Ji family as a collection of the royal treasure house.

In this war with Dayue Kingdom, the Ji family took out nine spiritual fires as war merits to encourage the alchemists who participated in the war.

And the yellow-level middle-grade and high-grade spiritual fires will appear once every three or four years, or even more than ten years.

Not to mention the mysterious-level spiritual fires above the yellow level.

Even the mysterious-level lower-grade spiritual fire will appear on the market in about a hundred years.

In the more than 1,200 years since the founding of Da Zhou, only one mysterious-level upper-grade spiritual fire has appeared.

That time, this spiritual fire even attracted masters from seven or eight surrounding kingdoms to fight for it.

That Xuan-grade upper-grade spiritual fire was discovered by a master in the Great Zhou, and then sold to [Tianbao Tower].

Tianbao Pavilion didn't know what they were thinking. They didn't bring the Xuan-grade upper-grade spiritual fire back to the headquarters, but directly held an auction in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

If [Tianbao Tower] didn't have the background of the Tianwu Dynasty, and its own strength was also very strong.

It is estimated that the spiritual fire would be snatched away before the auction even started.

In this way, we can see how high-grade spiritual fire is hard to come by.

Even if you have money, you can't buy high-grade spiritual fire. It is completely out of stock.

If Li Yan sent the [Meteoric Star Flame] in his hand to the auction, I'm afraid it would be sold at least at a price higher than the Xuan-grade middle-grade spiritual fire.

What he is considering now is whether to spend a lot of resources to cultivate [Meteoric Star Flame] from a yellow-grade lower-grade spiritual fire to a ground-grade lower-grade spiritual fire.

If he decided to do this, the resources that could sustain his saturation training for more than a year would be greatly reduced.

The consumption of spiritual energy by spiritual fire is not comparable to that of a congenital warrior like him.

And as the rank of spiritual fire increases, more spiritual energy is needed.

Li Yan, who was lying on the bed weighing the pros and cons, finally opened his eyes suddenly and made a decision in his heart.

"It's just a resource. If it's gone, I'll get it again. But if you miss this earth-level spiritual fire, no matter how many resources you have, you may not be able to get it."

After making the decision, Li Yan's eyes revealed a trace of relief and ease.

Since he had decided to cultivate [Meteoric Star Flame] to upgrade, Li Yan was ready to store this spiritual fire in his Dantian.

When an alchemist collects spiritual fire, he first nourishes it with his true qi, so that the spiritual fire is stained with the breath of his own true qi.

Then he stores the spiritual fire in his Dantian and uses it for his own use.

It sounds like a simple process, but if any step is not done well, the person who takes the spiritual fire into the body will be burned to ashes by the rioting spiritual fire.

Spiritual fire is naturally close to spiritual energy. Except for a few spiritual fires with very explosive characteristics, most spiritual fires will not refuse the nourishment of true qi.

Different true qi will have different effects on nourishing the same spiritual fire.

Among them, of course, the fire element true qi makes the spiritual fire accept the most, and the water element true qi makes the least.

The spiritual fire must be nourished to a certain degree before it can be taken into the body.

There is a very clear judgment standard for this degree. Hold a piece of iron and use the least true qi to cover the entire piece of iron.

Then, place the spiritual fire on the iron sheet for a cup of tea.

If the iron sheet is not burned by the spiritual fire within this cup of tea, then the spiritual fire is considered to be successfully nurtured.

This means that your true qi has become a part of the spiritual fire, and anything that is attached to your true qi will not be harmed by it.

This characteristic of the spiritual fire was summarized by many human pioneers after a long period of research.

After the nurtured spiritual fire is covered with a layer of true qi on its surface, it can be combined with a bottle of spiritual liquid extracted from the [Ice Spirit Flower] to start the step of the spiritual fire entering the abdomen.

Covering the surface of the spiritual fire with true qi is to prevent the spiritual fire from damaging the tissues and organs of the human body after entering the human body.

After the spiritual fire enters the Dantian, it is necessary to combine the spiritual fire with the foundation of true qi, the true qi rune imprint.

Only in this way can the true qi, spiritual fire and true qi be further integrated.

The advantage is that after deep fusion, the spiritual fire can refine some impurities in the true qi, refine the true qi, and make the true qi more powerful.

Especially for people like alchemists who often take spiritual pills to improve their cultivation, the impurities in their true qi will naturally be much more than those of hardworking warriors.

Therefore, if the two fight, with the same cultivation, weapons, and experience, the winner must be the hardworking warrior.

However, if the alchemist has spiritual fire in his body to purify the true qi, the offensive and defensive situation will be different.

In addition, the spiritual fire after deep fusion can use the true qi as a carrier to attack the enemy.

It can greatly enhance the power of spiritual skills.

The disadvantage is that once the spiritual fire is deeply integrated with the true qi, it will encounter a high-level spiritual fire later. It will not only increase the difficulty geometrically, but also lose part of the cultivation.

The relationship between spiritual fires is always competitive, life and death, and when two spiritual fires meet, only one will devour the other.

There are already traces and breath of another spiritual fire in your body, and the new spiritual fire will definitely reject and resist.

It's a bit like the rejection reaction after a person has an organ replaced, and the spiritual fire is the replaced organ.

The bottle of spiritual liquid extracted from the [Ice Spirit Flower] needs to be drunk before the spiritual fire enters the stomach.

The spiritual liquid has only one effect, which is to coat the entire body with a layer of ice-attribute protective film to protect the body from being burned by the high temperature of the spiritual fire.

True Qi is just a shield, which can only isolate the contact between the spiritual fire and body tissues, but cannot isolate the high temperature attribute of the spiritual fire itself.

For this reason, people invented such spiritual liquid to protect the human body from the high temperature of the spiritual fire.

The spiritual liquid is not difficult to buy. When Li Yan decided to refine the spiritual fire [Meteoric Star Flame], the clone of Shannan Daocheng had already bought the spiritual liquid and sent it to the Snow Mountain clone.

In addition to being useful when refining spiritual fire, this spiritual liquid is also used to neutralize some spiritual medicines and spiritual materials with fire attributes. It is used by both alchemists and weapon refiners.

Therefore, there is still a lot of this kind of spiritual liquid in the market, but the price is a little expensive, and a store can't sell a bottle for several days.

Li Yan bought five bottles at once, which made the shop assistant very happy. After all, he can get a commission for selling things from him.

Others may only have one chance to refine spiritual fire, but Li Yan has countless chances. Even if he fails, it's just a waste of a bottle of spiritual liquid, so naturally he has to prepare more spiritual liquid to prevent failure.

On the top of the snowy mountain, Li Yan's clone held the stone ball in his hand, and the five elements of true qi in his body were continuously invested in [Meteoric Flame].

The true qi in the clone is simulated, but it is the same as Li Yan's true qi. It can be used to refine pills and perform spiritual skills.

Li Yan also studied the nearly infinite true qi of the clone, but in the end he didn't find any results. It can only be said that this is a rule imprinted on the clone.

Others infuse true qi into spiritual fire every once in a while, just like watering crops in the field every once in a while.

When it came to Li Yan, he just poured water all over it, and stopped when the cultivation was successful.

After pouring for an hour, Li Yan took a piece of iron sheet and covered it with a thin layer of five elements true qi to do experiments.

[Meteoric Star Flame] had been on the iron sheet for a cup of tea, but it still did not melt the iron sheet.

However, when the hand touched the iron sheet, it could feel a very hot temperature.

This is the power of spiritual fire. The true energy can prevent the spiritual fire from coming into contact with the iron piece, so that the spiritual fire cannot destroy the iron piece. However, the temperature it radiates cannot be blocked by the true energy, and it can still damage the iron piece. cause impact.

This is the power of the low-grade Huang-level spiritual fire. If it is the middle-grade or even high-grade Huang-grade spiritual fire, the temperature of the radiation is higher, and even if it is isolated by true energy, it can melt the iron pieces.

At this time, it will take a longer time to cultivate the spiritual fire, to the point where it can restrain the radiation temperature of part of the spiritual fire.

The verification method is also to use iron pieces to verify.

After confirming that the [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] had been successfully cultivated, Li Yan first took the spiritual liquid. After ten breaths, Li Yan's breath was filled with white frost.

That is to say, if the innate warrior has a strong physique, the coldness contained in the spiritual liquid will not harm the body.

Then, layers of five elements of true energy turned into colorful balls of light, tightly wrapping the entire [Destroying Starry Sky Flame].

Li Yan glanced at it and swallowed the fist-sized ball of colorful light in one gulp without thinking.

The colorful ball of light followed the esophagus, emitting high temperature while sliding into the stomach.

The white film attached to the mouth and esophagus completely offset the high temperature of the spiritual fire.

After the spiritual fire entered the stomach, Li Yan temporarily opened the channel between the stomach and the Dantian according to the zhenqi circulation method recorded in the book "The Upgrading and Retrograde of the Spiritual Fire", and sent the spiritual fire into the Dantian.

Only pure energy bodies can enter the Dantian. Spiritual Fire happens to be a pure energy body, so it enters the Dantian as expected.

After that, the spiritual fire is combined with the five elements of true energy rune brand.

This step also requires the consumption of a large amount of infuriating energy as nutrients.

At this time, ordinary people need to prepare a large amount of elixirs to restore the true energy to ensure that the amount of true energy in the Dantian is always half.

For them, this is the most dangerous step in the process of refining spiritual fire.

However, the particularity of Li Yan's clone made this step completely risk-free.

Half an hour later, Li Yan opened his eyes, stretched out his right hand, and a star-blue spiritual fire appeared on his palm.

It is exactly what [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] looks like.

However, this is not the main body of [Destroying Starry Sky Flame]. The main body is still in the clone's dantian. This is just the sub-body of [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] using Li Yan's true energy as fuel.

After the daughter body is used up, it will have no effect on the main body of [Destroying Starry Sky Flame].

Li Yan wanted to test the power of this thing, so he threw the [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] body to a frozen rock nearby that was ten feet high.

There was a loud "boom", and the huge rock split apart instantly. Because of the loud noise, an avalanche began to occur in the distance.

Li Yan quietly looked at the avalanche not far away, but his heart was filled with joy.

"There is one more way to fight the enemy, and it is very powerful."

Then, he stretched out his right hand, and the Five Elements Qi covered the entire palm, aiming at his Dantian area and hitting it directly.

A big hole instantly appeared in his stomach, his Dantian was damaged, and a star-blue spiritual fire with some colorful spots appeared in Li Yan's hand.

This is the fastest and cruelest way to extract the spiritual fire that has been refined into the Dantian.

However, this cruelty only applies to other people, not including Li Yan.

In the blink of an eye, the big hole in his belly was quickly repaired.

Li Yan had already refined [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] in his hand, and he transferred it to another clone through [Transfer Space].

After taking a bottle of spiritual liquid, this clone swallowed the [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] directly into its belly.

This time, after only ten breaths of time, the sub-body of [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] appeared on the clone's hand.

He casually dropped the child body of [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] and let it explode into a big hole on the ground. Li Yan once again dug out the main body of [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] from his body.

After that, Li Yan conducted the same test twice more, and the results were exactly the same.

These several tests have completely verified that [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] no longer poses any threat to Li Yan.

As a result, the main body began to refine [Destroying Starry Sky Flame].

The safety of the main body has always been the most important thing. The clone is the death light. As long as the main body is still there, there will be new clones.

Like the clone, Li Yan successfully refined the [Destroying Starry Sky Flame].

At the same time, the clones scattered around found that a simulated [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] appeared in their bodies.

One of the clones immediately started experimenting. He dug out the [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] from his dantian.

At this time, something unexpected and reasonable happened. The [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] that left Li Yan's clone dissipated in Li Yan's hand.

When Li Yan's clone regained his dantian, [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] appeared in his dantian again.

Obviously, the [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] in the clone's body is completely dependent on the clone's existence, and will disappear if it leaves the clone.

Of course, even so, this is a good thing for Li Yan's various clones.

The clone of Danmeng was sitting in his alchemy room, playing with [Destroying Starry Sky Flame] in his hand, and in front of him were thirty copies of medicinal materials for refining [Five Elements Spirit Pill].

Three hundred kilograms of spirit beads were exchanged for thirty portions of medicinal materials. On average, one portion of medicinal materials requires ten kilograms of spirit beads.

This price is relatively low compared to other second-grade inferior elixirs.

Of course, the most valuable ingredients in a set of [Five Elements Spiritual Pill] are the five spiritual herbs of different properties. The other auxiliary herbs are probably not worth even a pound of spiritual beads.

Then Li Yan began to use spiritual fire to warm the spiritual alchemy furnace. He wanted to experience the feeling of using spiritual fire to make pills.

When warming the alchemy furnace in the first step, Li Yan experienced the benefits of spiritual fire.

The temperature and shape follow the heart. As soon as the mind moves, the spiritual fire will adjust its own temperature and shape, which makes Li Yan feel for the first time that making pills is such a pleasant thing.

"Start making pills."
