“If you plant a fire seed within your body, from then on, you can continuously devour various flames and use them to raise the Rank of the fire seed.”
“This way, even if the flame within your body is weak at first, as long as you can continuously devour and absorb flames, the flame within your body will become stronger and stronger.”
“Right now, these three Earth Vein Fires all want to devour this fire seed, but they are wary of each other, which is why they are in a stalemate here. This is a good Opportunity!”
Normally, a Cultivator can only refine one type of flame in their lifetime. Therefore, these Alchemists try their best to choose higher Rank flames throughout their lives.
If they cannot refine one, they can only borrow external flames.
For example, Master Qi, he did not have his own flame, so he borrowed the Qin Family's Earth Vein Fire.
However, external flames are ultimately not as easy to control as flames refined by oneself.
Therefore, Alchemists all hope to be able to refine a flame that belongs to them.
Now, as long as Qin Xuan plants the fire seed within his body, he can later rely on the fire seed to devour other flames to raise the flame's Rank!
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan was filled with excitement.
The information left by the Empress naturally included the method for refining the fire seed.
“It's just that there are three Earth Vein Fires nearby, which are a bit of a nuisance!”
Qin Xuan asked with some hesitation.
If this thing were so easy to subdue, these three Earth Vein Fires would have already consumed the fire seed, and it wouldn't have waited for him.
“Although these three Earth Vein Fires are fierce, they only have sentience but no intelligence. It seems I'll have to use the Refining God Cauldron!”
“What's more, my Physical Body and Meridians have been refined by the Refining God Cauldron. Although these Earth Fires are fierce, I can still resist some of them.”
“However, will it be very painful to draw the fire into my body?”
After pondering for a long time, Qin Xuan slightly curled his lips.
He did not want to experience the pain of the Refining God Cauldron melting his own body again.
But since the fire seed was right in front of him, he would never let it go.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Xuan still made up his mind!
He must refine this fire seed, otherwise, his heart would not be at peace!
“First, enter the Refining God Cauldron, and use the Refining God Cauldron to get there.”
“Otherwise, with these three Earth Vein Fires guarding it, it will be difficult to even get close to the fire seed.”
These three Earth Vein Fires had been guarding this fire seed for an unknown number of years.
Although they lacked intelligence, relying solely on their instinctive sentience, once Qin Xuan approached, they would undoubtedly launch various attacks.
“Buzz!”
After a buzzing sound, the Refining God Cauldron flew out from the jade pendant. At the same time, an aura of the Great Wilderness immediately permeated the entire mountain cavern.
Qin Xuan leaped in, and then, led by the Refining God Cauldron, quickly approached the fire seed.
The three Spiritual Fires naturally sensed something approaching, but under the suppression of the Refining God Cauldron's Great Wilderness aura, they dared not approach at all.
“Now!”
The Refining God Cauldron flew above the fire seed, and the Five Elements Fire enveloped Qin Xuan. Then, Qin Xuan controlled the Refining God Cauldron to position itself above the fire seed.
“Splat!”
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan leaped towards the lava.
Because the Five Elements Fire enveloped Qin Xuan, the surrounding lava could not harm him, but Qin Xuan could still feel the heat waves continuously assailing him.
“The Five Elements Fire and the Refining God Cauldron are in Fusion. Their power will continuously weaken after leaving the Refining God Cauldron, and it will feel hotter and hotter. Hurry.”
Qin Xuan quickly swam through the lava, lunging towards the fire seed.
The white fire seed seemed to sense danger and quickly tried to leave.
“Don't run!”
Qin Xuan coldly shouted, quickly accelerating and rushing forward, catching up to the fire seed. He stretched out both hands and seized the fire seed.
Qin Xuan hurriedly circulated the Primordial Spirit Refining Art, controlling the Refining God Cauldron to fly over.
“Collect!”
Qin Xuan let out a low shout, and the Refining God Cauldron flew down, taking both Qin Xuan and the fire seed into the Refining God Cauldron.
Looking at the white seed within the Refining God Cauldron, Qin Xuan felt a slight thrill.
Next, he took a deep breath.
The method left by the Empress clearly stated that he had to plant the fire seed into his body so that his body could accommodate various flames and absorb and devour various flames.
And this involved wrapping the fire seed with Spiritual Qi and slowly moving it into his Dantian.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan immediately hesitated.
The Dantian, this was the Foundation of Cultivation, how could a flame enter it?
Moreover, this thing was so scorching hot, if it were to destroy his Dantian again...
“The Dantian is the Foundation of Cultivation, the starting point of everything. If it's planted in the Dantian, it might destroy my Dantian...”
Qin Xuan was truly hesitant this time.
He had just managed to recover his Cultivation, and it would be troublesome if his Dantian were to shatter and all his efforts go to waste because of this.
This was too dangerous!
No, I cannot give up this Opportunity that has fallen into my hands!
A Heaven-Defying item like a fire seed, which allows a Cultivator to continuously raise the flame's Rank by devouring flames, could indeed destroy the Dantian if planted within it.
This thing was simply too dangerous.
Should I absorb this fire seed or not?
Qin Xuan pondered, a conflicted expression flashing across his face.
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Xuan let out a helpless sigh.
“It's come to this, how can I give up halfway?”
Qin Xuan took a deep breath, staring firmly at the fire seed in front of him.
The fire seed concerned the upper limit of his future Cultivation. Only by possessing the fire seed would his future Cultivation's upper limit be infinitely raised!
“At worst, I'll enter the Tian Tomb again...”
No, I shouldn't go in again.
At the thought of that woman, Qin Xuan shivered involuntarily and quickly shook his head.
Going in again, wouldn't that be delivering himself to her mouth!
No!
But I must devour this fire seed!
After pondering for a while, he forcefully clenched his fist, focusing all his attention on the fire seed in front of him. Then, he controlled his Spiritual Qi to completely envelop the fire seed.
Hot!
The moment the Spiritual Qi touched the fire seed, a wave of heat spread along the Spiritual Qi into his Dantian.
“Hiss!”
Qin Xuan gasped in a cold breath.
At this moment, within his Dantian, countless Spiritual Qi seemed to be boiling.
A burning pain spread throughout his Dantian, then continued to spread along the Dantian to the surrounding Meridians.
“Whew!”
Letting out a long breath, Qin Xuan wanted to cut off the contact between the Spiritual Qi and the fire seed right then and there.
However, the fire seed had already been attracted by his Spiritual Qi. Now, what he needed to do was to use the Spiritual Qi to move the fire seed into his Dantian!
Qin Xuan endured the intense pain, allowing his Spiritual Qi to condense into Spiritual Qi chains.
Then, the Spiritual Qi chains carried the fire seed and slowly moved towards his Dantian.
The closer the fire seed got to the Dantian, the stronger the burning pain became.
Qin Xuan gritted his teeth and persevered. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the fire seed fell into his Dantian.
“Sizzle!”
The moment the fire seed touched his Dantian, Qin Xuan felt his Dantian become incredibly hot and painful.
At this moment, the Spiritual Qi in Qin Xuan's Dantian was completely agitated.
Countless Spiritual Qi churned like boiling water, continuously rolling without stopping.
The Meridians connected to his Spiritual Sea were also incredibly painful at this time.
Streams of 'boiling' Spiritual Qi surged into his Meridians, causing him unbearable pain throughout his body.
There was no other way; this was a fire seed, one of the most precious things in the world.
Naturally, his Dantian felt incredibly painful.
But he understood that he had to persevere at this moment!
To stop short of success!
If he didn't persevere now, everything would truly be over!
Next was to let the fire seed take root and sprout in his Dantian, and to nourish this fire seed with his own essence blood, ensuring that this fire seed and his Dantian would achieve Fusion!
