Chapter 204: Fire and Puppet Refining
In the hot sea of ​​magma.

Lin Yuan and the two elders Qian Bai stood side by side. The three of them had calm expressions and looked indifferently at the huge fire python in front of them.

The Fallen Heart Flame also instinctively felt that the atmosphere this time was different from the past, so it made a prompt decision and immediately gave up attacking the alien fire host that was close to it, and instead fled towards the depths of the magma sea.

"This guy is very perceptive."

Lin Yuan raised a faint smile and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, elders. Just follow what I said before and capture its origin."

Upon hearing this, the two elders nodded slightly and disappeared on the spot.

Soon, accompanied by shrill screams from time to time, waves of fire surged on the lava sea, as if being swallowed by the fire of doomsday. The scene was horrifying.

What will happen when two Dou Zong peak masters decide to attack the Fallen Heart Flame?

The answer is an absolute crushing victory.

Perhaps because they were optimistic about Lin Yuan, the younger generation, or perhaps because of their desire for the Zunshi Pill, the two elders acted extremely resolutely and actively this time.

Even though this magma sea is the birthplace of the Fallen Heart Flame, and even though its energy here is almost endless, the strength it can exert does not exceed that of a four-star Dou Zong, and there is still a huge gap between it and a high-star Dou Zong.

For a pure soul body like Yao Lao, it can naturally restrain it by relying on its own soul-destroying characteristics.

However, facing two peak Dou Zong masters, it had almost no ability to resist.

Without much effort, the two elders broke up the fire python form condensed by the Fallen Heart Flame and extracted its origin.

"Little Lin, here, this is the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame."

The two elders considerately condensed an energy shield, sealed the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame inside, and then handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but be surprised to see that he got the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame so easily.

Then, he smiled lightly. As long as he could refine a good pill, someone would do everything for him. Perhaps this was the normal state for a pharmacist, and also the joy of a pharmacist?

"Thank you, both elders." Lin Yuan collected his thoughts, took the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame, and looked at it carefully.

This was a palm-sized, somewhat milky white flame snake. Its pupils were filled with invisible flames, and as its eyeballs moved, it looked quite agile. It was obvious that the fire spirit of the Fallen Heart Flame had already acquired intelligence.

When Lin Yuan looked at the little fire snake, the latter seemed to remember that the person in front of him was the "thief" who had stolen part of its original power.

Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in the pair of snake pupils, and invisible waves spread out.

A ball of extremely fierce fire strangely appeared in Lin Yuan's heart, and then destroyed things crazily and wantonly.

However, this heart fire did not have any effect on Lin Yuan, but instead made him feel a little comfortable. Lin Yuan smiled calmly. He had been doing adaptive training with the heart fire for a year. Now, for him, this level of heart fire was just a massage.

Fallen Heart Flame and Sea Heart Flame are ranked similarly, and the steps to subdue Fallen Heart Flame are only one step more than the steps to subdue Sea Heart Flame.

Staring at the milky white origin fire, a hint of coldness flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, "A fire spirit with wisdom? It seems that I have to spend some time to erase your wisdom first."

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed, and he formed extremely complicated seals with his hands.

Several slender green fire chains shot out and poured into the milky white flame snake, locking it tightly.

Afterwards, a tremendous amount of soul power surged out from his brows, using the green fire chain as a channel to infuse into the little fire snake.

"Destroy Tianhui and disperse the spiritual light!"

With a light shout, a silver mist surged from the chain. The soul power tempered by the Heart Flame Fire began to wash away the essence of the fire spirit, trying to completely wash away the spiritual intent in the snake's eyes.

In this way, time began to pass slowly.
-
Inner courtyard, Panmen.

Yao Lao's figure emerged from the Bone Inflammation Ring. His eyes were deep, as if they could penetrate the void. He looked directly in the direction of the Sky-burning Refining Qi Tower, and his soul perception spread out like a tide.

"What happened, teacher?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask upon seeing this.

After a while, Yao Lao withdrew his soul perception and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yanzi, make preparations in advance and spend time with your girlfriend. We won't stay in Canaan College for too long. After the Strong Ranking Conference is over, we will set off to Zhongzhou."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan bit his lip and asked, "Did something happen?"

Yao Lao nodded and said in a deep voice: "The aura of the Fallen Heart Flame has been completely cut off. It was those two people in the Library Pavilion who took action."

After a pause, he continued, "It seems that the Fallen Heart Flame rioted when the old demon attacked this time, angering the Canaan leaders. In the future, the defense of it will be more strict, so... there is little point for us to stay here."

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I understand, teacher."

Yao Lao nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Since the future plan has changed, Xiao Yanzi, your subsequent training plan must also change. Next, you must try your best to break through to Dou Wang within a year."

"Become a Dou Wang within a year?" Xiao Yan murmured, with a burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

"This is necessary." Yao Lao chuckled and reached out to the Bone Inflammation Ring. "In Zhongzhou, there are many strong men, and the Strange Fire is coveted by countless strong men. If you don't have the strength of a Dou Wang and still carry the Strange Fire around, it's no different from a child carrying gold in a busy city."

As he spoke, he ran his fingertips across the Bone Inflammation Ring, took out five volumes of prescriptions and a large amount of medicinal herbs, and handed them to Xiao Yan.

"Refine these pills, they can greatly increase your cultivation speed."

Xiao Yan took the recipe and herbs, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Now, he gradually realized how precious the strange fire was, and how lucky he was to have met and subdued the ownerless Wind Fury Dragon Flame. But after experiencing the miraculous power of the Burning Decision, he could not give it up.
The evolution of the Burning Decree is a long and arduous journey.
-
Seven days later, in the magma sea.

Lin Yuan glanced at the docile little flame snake in his hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes turned to the two elders not far away, his gratitude overflowing with words: "The task of taming the Fallen Heart Flame has been accomplished, thank you two elders for your support."

The two meditating men opened their eyes and glanced at the docile Fallen Heart Flame.

Bai Lie looked quite surprised and praised: "As expected of a high-level alchemist, Lin, your soul skills are truly miraculous."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Bai!"

"In this case, the plan to replace the fire is complete." Qianmu said with a smile: "It seems that there is nothing we two old guys can help with. Then we will go back to the library. If you have any problems, come to us."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Elders. The Zunshi Pill will be presented to you soon."

Qianmu waved his hand and said casually: "Don't be too anxious, just follow the steps! The two of us have been stuck at this level for so many years, we don't lack this little time." "I understand." Lin Yuan said.

"Oh, right." Qianmu's eyes became more serious as if he remembered something, and he warned, "From your looks, you will have to stay here for a while. Then remember, the dean warned you not to go deep into this magma sea."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and then the two old men flashed and disappeared in the sea of ​​magma.

After the two left, Lin Yuan looked at the little snake-shaped Fallen Heart Flame Fire Spirit. The snake-shaped fire spirit seemed to have grown up in an instant, and its eyes changed from ignorant to deep.

Lin Yuan and the Heart Flame Fire Spirit looked at each other and smiled, with almost identical looks in their eyes.

After completely erasing the wisdom of the Fallen Heart Flame this time, just like he had subdued the Sea Heart Flame before, he once again took over the nest and used his own soul power to devour and fuse the fire spirit that had lost its wisdom, and dominated the newly born Fallen Heart Flame fire spirit.

After obtaining many secret techniques from the Soul Palace, Lin Yuan made great progress in his research on the soul and completed the iteration of the method of manipulating the strange fire.

Now, his control over the Fallen Heart Flame is in no way inferior to his control over his Blood Soul clone.

"Next, it's time to practice fire control. The fire control method of the Flame Art is somewhat unique. Take this opportunity to practice with the Fallen Heart Flame and get familiar with the control of the Fallen Heart Flame itself."

After making up his mind, Lin Yuan recalled the details of the Flame Technique in his mind and formed a few mysterious seals with his hands.

"Flame Art: Starry Sky Fire Phoenix."

With a clear shout, Lin Yuan urged his mind to connect with the Fallen Heart Flame Fire Spirit that was connected to his own soul. He infused the powerful soul power into the Fire Spirit, and transparent flames gushed out from the milky white little fire snake, flowing and transforming...

"Card——"

Soon, a loud phoenix cry was heard, bringing with it gusts of hot wind, and echoed in the fiery red magma ocean.
-
three days later.

Above the lava sea, a flaming phoenix flapped its wings and danced; above the surface of the lava sea, Lin Yuan stepped on a green lotus seat, and the seals in his hands changed rapidly.

At a certain moment, his eyes became stern and he shouted softly: "Disperse!"

"Card——"

A phoenix cry sounded, and the huge fire phoenix flapped its wings, its body suddenly condensed. After making another high-pitched phoenix cry, its body disintegrated and turned into countless spots of fire, gathering towards Lin Yuan's fingertips.

After a moment, a milky white flame snake appeared at Lin Yuan's fingertips.

Looking at the body of the Fallen Heart Flame at his fingertips, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the Green Lotus Seat with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"It took three days? This speed is still acceptable."

Since he was extremely good at controlling fire and had rich experience in controlling the fire of the Fallen Heart Flame, it only took Lin Yuan three days to completely master the fire control technique of the Flame Control Technique. At the same time, he also successfully improved his level of controlling the Fallen Heart Flame.

He exhaled a long breath, took the Fallen Heart Flame into his body, and felt the long-lost feeling of tempering his fighting spirit. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Ever since taking the Tianyuan Quenching Pill to refine his fighting spirit, the effect of the Heart Flame Fire refinement has been almost zero.

Now, with the more powerful Origin Fire of the Fallen Heart Flame entering his body, his fighting spirit finally began to be tempered, and his cultivation was getting closer and closer to the limit of breaking through.

Feeling the small but solid progress, Lin Yuan felt excited, "It's almost there, I can feel it, the breakthrough opportunity will come soon..."

With the tempering of the Fallen Heart Flame, Lin Yuan no longer needs to retreat to hone his fighting spirit. He only needs to wait until the tempering of the Fallen Heart Flame is completed.

"Next..."

Lin Yuan took out the bamboo slips that recorded the refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet and spread them out, "It's time to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet." He carefully studied the puppet refining method, and after two hours, he had completely imprinted it in his mind.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, digested and deduced the knowledge in his mind, and then opened his eyes.

"First, practice with this and make a sandbag for Zi Yan to punch."

He waved his sleeves, and a well-preserved sturdy corpse appeared suspended in the air above the sea of ​​magma. From the fierce aura remaining on the corpse, it could be inferred that this person was a Dou Zong.

The corpse's name was Tang Ba, and he was the father of Tang Shan, the leader of the Wanqi Sect of the Tiandou Empire.

A few months ago, when Lin Yuan was "traveling" in the Tiandou Empire, he had some conflicts with Tang Shan. Just when Tang Shan was about to be killed by him, this old guy jumped out. Afterwards, the father and son also performed some tangled and "sincere" family affection in front of Lin Yuan and the other two.

However, Lin Yuan, who was bored, didn't wait for them to finish their family drama and directly killed the old man who jumped out.

How could a two-star Dou Zong stop Lin Yuan?

After killing Tang Ba, Lin Yuan sent the grief-stricken Tang Shan to death, helped him and Tang Ba reunite on the Yellow Springs Road, and then destroyed the Wanqi Sect, taking away their centuries of accumulated resources and casting inheritance.

Finally, Lin Yuan's impression of this sect is that the people there are quite arrogant, foul-mouthed, and their hammer skills are a bit interesting.

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan flicked his fingers and a streak of green fire shot out, turning into a blazing green flame that swirled up and quickly wrapped around Tang Ba's body.

In an instant, Tang Ba's robes turned into nothingness.

"Don't judge a book by its cover. It's so small!" Lin Yuan glanced at it and raised his eyebrows.

Then, he delicately controlled the temperature of the flame, tempering the corpse without damaging it.

Before long, the scorching temperature caused the corpse to turn a fiery red. Along with the roasting, wisps of faint black gas emerged from the corpse and were then burned into nothingness by the green flames.

This black air is called corpse air, which contains some remaining thoughts of the deceased during his lifetime and will hinder the unity of the body and soul.

The first step in refining a Heavenly Demon Puppet is to quench it, and quenching it is to completely expel the corpse qi. Otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the requirement of completely integrating the body, magic core, and soul when refining a Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Three hours later, when the last trace of corpse qi was burned to nothingness, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Ba's sturdy body had shrunk several times, and his whole body was a cold grayish-white color. His skin was tightly attached to his dry muscles, and his palms had become extremely slender, like sharp daggers.

Lin Yuan snapped his fingers and two gusts of wind shot out, passing through the body and making a fist-sized hole in the chest and forehead of the corpse.

However, the strong wind blew through his body without leaving any blood, as all the blood in his body had been evaporated during the tempering process.

"Yeah!" Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "This should be enough for the body. Next, I should prepare the soul. Let me think about it. As for the soul, it should be as you wish, Tangshan..."
