Chapter 243 Tempering, Flame

A "gem" with a cold silver glow flew out from the demon puppet and hovered leisurely in front of Lin Yuan.

This is a "gem" about the size of a baby's fist. It is a round silver crystal all over. Strange patterns are faintly outlined on the surface of the crystal. Inside the crystal, wisps of lightning are constantly jumping and flashing.

Sensing the majestic power of wind and thunder in the "gem", a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

"Good quality. The formation for producing Heavenly Thunder Seeds has finally been perfected."

"In this way, as long as I use Dan Lei to charge this demon puppet, it will be able to produce Tian Lei Zi for future use..."

This "gem" full of thunder energy is called Tianleizi.

It is an energy crystal formed by taking the Thunder Element Stone as the core and using special means to compress the energy of the Thunder Element with the same properties to the extreme.

With the help of Venerable Skyfire, Lin Yuan transformed this demon puppet by setting up a formation inside its body, so that when it absorbed the pill thunder, it could condense part of the absorbed pill thunder energy into the Sky Thunder Seed.

If it weren't for the purpose of refining the Heavenly Thunder Seed, this demon puppet, which had been tempered by Dan Lei many times, would probably have already broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Zong level.

As for why I had to go to the trouble of condensing this Heavenly Thunder...

Lin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and as his mind moved, a pair of broad dark silver wings spread out behind him.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a powerful soul force surged out from his brows. He drew out a ray of pure lightning energy from the Heavenly Thunder Seed and carefully channeled it into the "Wings of Heavenly Phoenix" behind him.

The lightning element entered the wings and instantly turned into extremely pure wind and thunder power, winding and flowing between the silver wings, and then blending into them bit by bit.

The power of wind and thunder tempered every inch of the silver wing, removing even the most invisible impurities.

At the same time, a little bit of wind and thunder force penetrated into Lin Yuan's body from the connection between the "Sky Phoenix Wings" and the body. Wherever the wind and thunder force passed, waves of numbness spread, and the weak parts even suffered some damage.

Lin Yuan was well prepared for this. The Qi and blood in his body, which had been tempered by his natal blood pill, quickly gathered at the damaged area and repaired it quickly.

The repaired part not only does not show signs of fatigue, but instead becomes more resilient and stronger.

Under the dual effects of the power of wind and thunder and his natal blood pill, Lin Yuan's body was also quietly undergoing a transformation. His meridians and flesh and blood were gradually strengthened in the cycle of damage and repair, moving towards a more perfect state.

Lin Yuan was doing two things at once, using the power of wind and thunder to temper the "Wings of the Heavenly Phoenix" while also using the power of wind and thunder to temper his body.

Time slowly passed in the flickering lightning.
-
Two days later.

When the early morning sun penetrated the clouds and fell on the land baptized by lightning, the fist-sized piece of sky thunder had disappeared, leaving only a transparent crystal the size of a longan, quietly hanging in front of Lin Yuan.

This is one of the materials of Tianlei Zi - Leiyuan Stone, a reusable material.

Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. A ray of bright silver light flashed in his deep eyes.

He let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his face.

After two days of continuous extraction and tempering, Lin Yuan had completely consumed the wind and thunder power in the Heavenly Thunder Seed. Eighty percent of it was integrated into the Heavenly Phoenix Wings, and twenty percent was used to temper his own body. The result was quite gratifying...

He gently flapped the silver wings behind him, and suddenly, a low thunder sounded, and a whirlwind rose out of nowhere, sweeping in all directions.

Feeling an unprecedented sense of lightness, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

After being tempered by a huge amount of wind and thunder power, the ability of the Sky Phoenix Wings increased dramatically, and its speed also increased dramatically, increasing by more than 30% compared to before... Moreover, in terms of its defense and attack, it also has some available means.

As for the physical body, with the power of wind and thunder and the blood essence of the life force, the cycle of destruction and repair between the two is like being reborn, becoming stronger and more indestructible.

"Being beaten is indeed an effective way to make yourself more resilient..."

With a light chuckle, Lin Yuan slowly folded up the Wings of the Heavenly Phoenix and muttered to himself.

Although he was not really "being beaten", "self-harming" with the power of wind and thunder was much more effective than simply being beaten.

However, this method is generally not sustainable.

After all, although the power of wind and thunder is weaker than the power of strange fire, it is also an extremely domineering force.

In fact, through his excellent soul perception, Lin Yuan had already noticed some abnormalities in his body. After tempering his body with the power of wind and thunder, he had some deeply hidden injuries in his body.

Although these hidden injuries will not pose a fatal threat for the time being, once accumulated to a certain extent, they may turn into a fatal blade at any time.

Even Lin Yuan, a master of body refining, is like this. Ordinary people, let alone body refining, would probably be seriously injured after experiencing a wind and thunder body tempering.

However, for Lin Yuan, these are not problems at all.

"To refine the body with the power of wind and thunder is a dangerous path for others, but it is an easy path for me." Lin Yuan stretched his limbs lazily, with a proud light flashing in his eyes, "After all, I am an eighth-grade alchemist. A mere hidden injury is not worth mentioning!"

"Among the seventh and eighth grade elixirs, there are countless elixirs for healing injuries. The body training with the power of wind and thunder can be continued for a long time..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan loaded the Thunder Yuan Stone back into the Demon Puppet, waiting for the next time to condense the Heavenly Thunder Seed.

Stretching his body, a feeling of fullness of strength surged into his heart. Lin Yuan smiled faintly, clenched his fists, moved his fists casually, and moved his body casually.

A set of kingly boxing techniques, with the blessing of powerful strength, actually carried a bit of the power of wind and thunder.

Every punch he threw was accompanied by a subtle thunder and the sound of air bursting, as if the space was shaking. Wherever the wind from his fists passed, the grass and trees swayed, and the dust flew, revealing the terrifying increase in his power at this moment.

After completing a complete set of boxing, Lin Yuan slowly stopped his movements, put his hands down, stood still, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing.

Not long after, when he opened his eyes again, his look had become completely calm and restrained.

Lin Yuan turned and looked in the direction of the cave, sensed it for a while, and nodded: "This aura, it seems that the poison essence broke through the bottleneck and broke through the seven-star Dou Zong. The next step is to take the Zong Yuan Pill and impact the eight-star Dou Zong."

"However, judging from her condition, her retreat will continue for several days, so I should move on to the next thing..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan waved his sleeves lightly, and five peculiarly shaped "fire gathering pots" flew out from the Dark Sea Ring.

Lin Yuan's palms flipped quickly, forming several hand seals smoothly.

"untie--"

With a light shout, the light films sealing the mouths of the five pots dissipated, and a green flame, a milky white flame, a gray-purple flame, an ice-blue flame, and a dark white flame flew out from the five fire-gathering pots at the same time.

The Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Fallen Heart Flame Fire, the Netherworld Poison Fire, the Dry Blue Heart Flame Fire, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire Fire.

Five strange fires were suspended around Lin Yuan, and an inexplicable aura spread out.

As if sensing this mysterious fluctuation, a soul shadow flew out from the snow-white ring on Lin Yuan’s right hand. It was the Venerable Skyfire.

"Lin Yuan, this is..." Looking at the five flames in front of him, even the Skyfire Venerable couldn't help but speak out of turn and fell into a deep silence. As the former master of the strange fire, he would never make a mistake. These flames were all the child fires of the strange fire.

Although the sub-fire is not as precious as the original body of the strange fire, having five of them still makes people feel a little dreamy!

After all, even if it was just a seed fire of a different fire, if a person could get one in his lifetime, it would be considered a great fortune, and getting the seed fires of five different fires...

How did a young man under 20 collect all this?

“My dear friend Lin Yuan, you really surprise me!” Venerable Skyfire took a deep breath and sighed softly.

At the same time, he couldn't help feeling excited. Lin Yuan allowed him to know such a secret, which meant that his performance was recognized by the other party. He became someone the other party could trust and share secrets with.

Soon, Lin Yuan's words confirmed Lord Tianhuo's thoughts.

"Senior Yao, you have helped me a lot, and I admire your talent. I hope that in the future, you can walk with me and lend me a helping hand. In the future, we will definitely repay you handsomely!"

Looking at Lord Skyfire, Lin Yuan cupped his hands, his expression became more serious, and his tone became quite formal.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhuo was delighted. He had finally entered this small group of talented people, a small group with unlimited potential.

So he straightened his expression and returned the greeting seriously.

"My dear friend, you saved my life, and I will never let you down. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to help you. Witnessing your future with my own eyes may be the greatest fortune of my life..."

"It's a deal. I won't let Senior Yao down!" Lin Yuan chuckled and raised his right palm: "Let's follow the ancient etiquette and slap our hands to swear an oath!"

"Good idea!" Skyfire Reverend laughed loudly and clapped his hands in agreement.

Although it was an extremely simple vow, after this simple high-five, when the two looked at each other again, they felt a little closer.

"Perhaps, this is the sense of ritual!" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Although the relationship between him and Skyfire Venerable was similar to before, it was essentially different, as they had changed from collaborators to "companions."

With a relatively trustworthy person, Lin Yuan raised his lips slightly and looked at the five flames in front of him...

On the other hand, Evil Poison Body, Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, Taixu Ancient Dragon and Lin Yuan, thinking of the value of the members of this small group, even Skyfire Venerable, who is a Dou Zun, can't help but be full of expectations.

With the support of Lin Yuan, an eighth-grade alchemist who is completely unfathomable, these members have a good chance of realizing their talents and becoming truly powerful.

And once they grow up, I will be the one to protect them... hehehe!

Suppressing the slightly raised corners of his mouth, Lord Skyfire looked at Lin Yuan and the five flames, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

"What do you think this time?"

He had always admired and been curious about Lin Yuan. His ideas were quite peculiar, and he could often come up with some fancy tricks. This time, he took out five strange fires at once, and it was obvious that he was going to do something big...

"Haha, Senior Yao, do you still remember this?" Lin Yuan chuckled.

As he spoke, he waved his hand and two fiery red scrolls flew out of the ring, suspended in the air, and slowly unfolded.

"Flame Manipulation Technique, and, the real Flame Manipulation Technique?"

Seeing the two scrolls, Skyfire Venerable was startled for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he asked in surprise, "Little friend Lin, are you trying to use the alien fire to create the 'Transformation Fire'?"

"Almost." Lin Yuan nodded and said calmly: "It's a good idea, right?"

"The fake alien fire made by the Flame Skill has good temperature and power, but lacks the natural violent and destructive characteristics of alien fire. However, if the alien fire seed fire is used as the raw material, this defect may be compensated."

"On the other hand, the Sub-Fire of the Strange Fire possesses some of the essence of the Strange Fire, but it is weak in terms of power, which can be compensated by the Flame Skill."

I have to say that the talent of the old demon is really good.

After Fang Yan and the other two practiced the Flame Manipulation Technique, the fire they condensed with their own strength was close in temperature to the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

"My friend, I have studied the Flame Art carefully." The Skyfire Venerable pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If the fusion can be successful, it will be great, but the difficulty of fusing the different fires... even the different fires, is ridiculously great!"

"The fusion of beast fire and the fusion of strange fire are not difficult at all."

As someone who "died" while trying to fuse different fires, Skyfire Venerable is still haunted by this.

Hearing what the Skyfire Venerable said, Lin Yuan nodded slightly. The Skyfire Venerable was not wrong, but he didn't know that Lin Yuan had a special trump card...

"Don't worry, I have carefully deduced it and there is a chance of success... so why not give it a try!"

As he spoke, a smile flashed in his eyes, and his gaze fell on the ice-blue flame. With this dry blue heart flame containing the fragments of the Burning Decision, it would be feasible to fuse these various flames into a fake strange fire.

However, Lin Yuan would not explain this matter to Venerable Tianhuo.

Although the two are now in a 'companion' relationship, there are some secrets that are far from the time to be revealed.

Deliberately letting him witness it was just to increase the team's cohesion.

“Little friend Lin, why don’t you take the exam again…” Skyfire Venerable wanted to persuade him, but seeing Lin Yuan’s determined eyes, he stopped trying to persuade him and said helplessly: “It seems that you have made up your mind. I will not persuade you any more. I wish you good luck!”

At this point, he couldn't help but look forward to it. What if Lin Yuan could really create a miracle?

Lin Yuan smiled, turned to look at the Skyfire Venerable, and said in a deep voice: "Next, I'll have to trouble Senior Yao to protect me. Don't let anyone disturb me..."

Venerable Skyfire smiled and nodded, then he moved and appeared at the outskirts of the valley, sitting cross-legged.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can disturb you..."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, took out the Green Lotus Platform, sat cross-legged on it, and recalled the contents of the Flame Art, "Swallowing fire, tempering, fusion..."

After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, "Step one, swallow fire!"

His eyes swept over the five fire seeds, and Lin Yuan opened his mouth. A suction force surged out, sucking the Qianlan Heart Flame Fire, the Qinglian Earth Core Fire, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire into his mouth.

Then, his eyes flashed and he swallowed the three fires in one gulp.

As soon as the three kinds of fire entered the body, before they had time to release their temperature, powerful soul power had already arrived and invaded.

These sub-fires, which had their spirituality broken up by Lin Yuan himself and were then endowed with spirituality again, naturally had no ability to resist his powerful soul power and were instantly taken over by the powerful mind that Lin Yuan had separated.

Lin Yuan's mind moved, and three streams of powerful fighting spirit quickly surged out, completely enveloping the three balls of fire.
