Refining the 10th Tier Pill (1)
🕑 Added 2023-08-28 05:01:19 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 163 ---
After accepting Huo Zhi as his second disciple, the next two days are more colorful than Baek Ain expected. Well, he didn't expect the pawns from Gu Clan to bring this world's heroine alone.
However, this is also good.
In addition to Huo Zhi, the peak where Baek Ain lived has become more lively.
As the lady from Yan Clan said, she has reached 6th Tier Alchemist due to her hard work and Heavenly Flames, but compared to true talent like Yao Ling'er. In short, she's lacking but still worth teaching.
What surprised Baek Ain was her talent for controlling Fire Element. And the inborn physique called the Fire Lotus Body.
The Fire Lotus Body is a unique inborn physique that appeared within the Yan Clan because their ancestor's blessing was flowing inside their veins.
Still, it's not comparable to the Sage Physique Fan Gu created through his sheer mind and experiment.
Huo Zhi is a fast learner. When Baek Ain taught her Dou Qi's Combustion and Concentration, she grasped it within a few hours and applied it to her fire-based attacks.
In the backyard, Huo Zhi wore a tight red martial arts outfit with a white sash and entered a stance.
She looked at Baek Ain and ignited her Dou Qi, pouncing forward.
Baek Ain observed her and caught a fiery fist by the elbow, deflecting her attack somewhere.
"I see... You see your Heavenly Flame as an extension."
"That's no good." Baek Ain smiled, sending Huo Zhi flying with a punch.
Huo Zhi landed far away and cleaned the dust from her face, "Please enlighten me, Teacher!"
Baek Ain lifted one hand and replied, "Be one with it."
"Someone with Water-Type Dou Qi always has this phrase, "Be one with water and its flow." No?"
"We possessed Fire-Type Dou Qi and could use their ways of thinking. Be one with fire and embrace its heat."
Huo Zhi nodded in understanding as she summoned Red Lotus Flame, and a crimson hue seeped from her body.
Under Baek Ain's tutelage, Huo Zhi learned faster than ever. A few points she couldn't understand earlier became more transparent, allowing her to achieve a small breakthrough.
Huo Zhi felt the heat of Red Lotus Flame and gritted her teeth because refining and befriending a Heavenly Flame is different. After all, Heavenly Flame possesses its own spirituality and intelligence.
Unlike Baek Ain, she doesn't have blessings or skills that increase her connection toward Fire Elements. Even though Huo Zhi already has the Fire Lotus Body, her affinity is barely passable.
The crimson hue from Red Lotus Flame makes Huo Zhi's tan complexion rosier as time passes. Baek Ain's eyes observed her change and smiled because the assimilation progress nearly reached 5%.
That's good enough for a beginner. If this continues, Huo Zhi will soon master Extermination Fire Body without backlash.
"Teacher, I'm going..." Huo Zhi's ruby-like eyes flashed with a crimson hue.
Baek Ain leaned back and said, "Come."
BAM!
They clashed fiercely under the bright sun, but one could see that Baek Ain was very relaxed with just a glance. He deflected Huo Zhi's attack and minimized the combustion result.
Huo Zhi felt her world's view changed every time she attacked Baek Ain, sensing how stupid she was to believe being a lady from the Yan Clan made her stand at the top.
That's just wishful thinking of hers! Like a stupid frog in a well!!
"Fire Lotus Flower..." Huo Zhi sent a flower made of fire at Baek Ain.
The flower's petals loosened and danced in the air, burning the area with intensity.
"Not bad." Baek Ain commented, waving his hand casually to diminish the petals.
"..." Huo Zhi.
Huo Zhi slumped on the ground and deactivated her cooperation with Red Lotus Flame. She breathed heavily with sweat all over her hot body, staring at Baek Ain bitterly.
"Teacher, how much power have you used earlier?" She asked curiously.
"Earlier? Not even 1%, I believe." Baek Ain answered honestly.
Huo Zhi smiled as she shook her head, closing her eyes. She's finished for today.
Baek Ain threw a towel over Huo Zhi's face and said, "Take a good rest."
"And ate the Body Refining Pill I just made. You'll feel refreshed later."
"Hmm, pill?" Huo Zhi pulled the towel away and saw a small jade box on her flat stomach.
She opened the box and smelled an intense medicinal scent. Her eyes widened because this was an 8th-tier Tier Pill!
Huo Zhi clutched onto the box and bowed at Baek Ain hurriedly, "Thank you for the kindness, Teacher."
"I don't know how to repay you..."
"Just eat it." Baek Ain smiled helplessly, knowing the pill contained his parasite's spawns. Now that Huo Zhi felt thankful and lowered her guard, she wouldn't notice the parasite like Yao Tian.
Of course, these new parasites spawn are made with characteristics like [Extreme Fire Resistance] and [Abnormal Tenacity], so even Heavenly Flame wouldn't burn them.
Thanks to Yao Tian, Baek Ain has already upgraded his parasites.
Huo Zhi consumed the pill and meditated, feeling her entire body swept by a comfortable wave of heat. Not only that, but her body also showed a small sign of awakening its potential.
Baek Ain gave the same Dou Techniques he handed to Yao Ling'er to Huo Zhi and communicated their functionality through sound transmission, allowing her to grasp it quickly.
"Tell me when you have reached 1st Level." He said while walking away, trusting his parasites will deal with any problem.
Huo Zhi nodded and tightly kneaded her brows, focusing her attention on refining the medicinal properties of Baek Ain's Pill.
...
About three hours later, Huo Zhi gasped and felt sticky all over her body.
She bathed and reported to Baek Ain, saying her body had gained a tremendous improvement.
Baek Ain smiled and told her to take a breather. Tomorrow, they are going to refine the 10th Tier Pill.
Yao Ling'er watched them from the Alchemy Room and pouted. She felt neglected but knew this was going to happen sooner or later.
At least, her status as Senior Sister is higher than Huo Zhi, which makes Yao Ling'er feel superior.
The next day.
Everyone gathered in the deepest part of Yao Realm. It was a field plastered with several arrays and protection, a suitable place to refine a high-tiered medicine.
According to the Yao Clan's Patriarch, their ancestors planted several herbs and natural treasures to make the atmosphere 500% better. In other words, their success rate has increased by 500%, but that still doesn't guarantee it.
Yao Dan instructed several people to draw another array and placed down a massive furnace, rivaling a small mountain.
"Damn, Yao Clan is going all out..." Someone from the Yan Clan was speechless.
"They used the Ten Thousand Meteorite Furnace. This thing was made with Meteorites from ancient times..."
"How grand." Huo Zhi was also surprised.
Beside her, Huo Xuan frowned slightly and said, "They are going all out because they cannot afford to fail."
"If he failed, we also failed. Remember, we donated a critical amount of the ingredient to refine Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill." He added solemnly.
"I know." Huo Zhi smiled behind her veil.
"But we have my teacher." She confidently continued, leaving Huo Xuan speechless.
"Just how much trust you have in him." Huo Xuan sighed and couldn't help but shake his head. Everyone knows that Huo Zhi was "directly." accepted by Lin Feng as his disciple a few days ago, but this amount of faith baffled Huo Xuan.
Gu Xun'er heard what Huo Zhi said and felt complicated inside. She has been spying on Lin Feng for the last three days, watching him silently from afar.
Gu Xun'er was "actually." tempted to try her luck on becoming Lin Feng's disciple as she visited the foot of Yao Ling'er mountain countless times, but she held herself.
Of course, Baek Ain knew about the Gu Clan's young lady visits and found it amusing. After all, this heroine is easy to sway.
Baek Ain shook his head and stepped forward, "Everyone, Summon your flame."
"Start from Beast Flames first. We can still use them to supplement the procedure."
ROAR! AUUUUH! CAAAAAAAAW!!
Several beasts' cries echoed in the field. Everyone who possessed Beast Flames released their firepowers.
Baek Ain waved his hand and used [The King of Flame]'s effect to control the fire, gathering them quietly inside Ten Thousand Meteorite Furnace.
SWOOSH! BOOM!
The scalding heat of Beast lames contained within the furnace and heated it rapidly.
Baek Ain closed his eyes and commanded again, "Now, summon the Heavenly Flames!"
Four Flames burst from Baek Ain's body.
They are Green Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Turtle Spirit Earth Flame(newly refined), and 50% Gnome Flame.
"This is..." Gu Xun'er was shocked.
Not just her. Everyone looked at Baek Ain like he was a monster.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Baek Ain frowned at them.
Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan nodded, summoning their Heavenly Flames.
They are Red Lotus Flame and Eight Wasteland Destruction Flame.
A man from the Yao Clan also nodded and summoned his Heavenly Flame. It was the Nine Serene Wind Flame.
Gu Xun'er reacted the last and summoned her Heavenly Flame. It was Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame!
Eight colorful flames in unique shapes and powers danced in the sky, releasing intense pressure that could break Heaven and Earth.
The sheer heat alone could melt anyone below the Half-Saint Realm, but Yao Dan has prepared arrays to protect everyone.
Baek Ain slowly floated in the air as a pair of energy wings unaltered on his back. The flames don't affect him-! No, they are submitting to him!
Like a Flame God, Baek Ain's body released a majesty fiery hue.
He opened his mouth and said, "Let's start..."
"Today, we are going to make a new legend!"
