Chapter 244 Dry Blue Ice Flame
"The second step is to temper..."

He murmured something in his heart, and the Dou Qi that wrapped around the sub-fire moved as he wished, transforming into three high-speed rotating Dou Qi balls. As they spun, a huge pressure was suddenly released, compressing the sub-fire in the Dou Qi balls.

The three balls of fire among them also quickly became flickering.

While releasing the pressure, Lin Yuan's soul power invaded the three fire seeds, carefully sensing their subtle changes and adjusting the size of the tempering pressure.

Under the monitoring of Lin Yuan's excellent soul power, all the steps went quite smoothly.

The process of tempering is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Instead, it requires continuous tempering for a long period of time before it can be condensed to the extreme and have the ability to transform into the original fire. This is also the most time-consuming step in practicing the Flame Manipulation Technique.

However, unlike beast fire, strange fire has been compressed and tempered for countless years during the process of formation, and is an extremely refined fire.

Although the power of the sub-fire is far inferior to that of the original fire, it is also the ultimate essence of fire.

This saved Lin Yuan a lot of time. He only needed to simply refine the sub-fire and adjust the appropriate ratio so that the three could maintain a relative balance in power.

The process that would have taken dozens of days was completed perfectly by Lin Yuan in just one day and one night.

The next morning, Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus Seat, suddenly trembled slightly. Then he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, exhaled a long breath of hot air, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Hammer, done!"

He spread out his palms, and three thumb-sized flames quietly emerged, dancing between his fingers like fire elves.

After being tempered, these three strands of strange fire became slightly stronger than before. At the same time, their auras were actually faintly connected, trembling and jumping in the same rhythm, and a hot wave spread.

"Next, it is the final step of fusion..."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt excited. He was able to successfully fuse a new kind of fire, and only then could he be considered successful in practicing the Flame Skill.

This newborn fire can then be fed with a variety of flames, including seed fire, beast fire, yang fire, and artificial fire, so as to enhance its essence and enrich its power.

Being able to enrich one's own strength with other flames is the most important reason why Lin Yuan chose to condense and generate fire.

There are two main reasons why Lin Yuan did not choose to fuse the sub-fire with the pure burning method.

Firstly, the basic requirements of the Burning Technique were too high. It started with the Strange Fire, and any sub-fire that was not strong enough could not meet the requirements of the Burning Technique's devouring and fusion. Secondly, after the sub-fire of the Strange Fire was fused, in order to grow rapidly, it had to be fed with the origin of the Strange Fire.

After all, the power of the sub-fire is far inferior to that of the original fire, not even one-tenth of it.

Among the many kinds of strange fire sub-fires that Lin Yuan possesses, even the currently strongest Qianlan Heart Flame sub-fire cannot be guaranteed to be able to devour and fuse other sub-fires with the Burning Decree Fragments.

To take a step back, even if the sub-fire completes the fire-swallowing stage, the subsequent strengthening will also be a big problem.

In order to make the new flame fused by the Burning Technique grow rapidly, it needs to be fed with the origin of the strange fire. Even Lin Yuan cannot ensure the supply of such consumption.

After all, once the origin of the strange fire is damaged, it is not so easy to recover.

More than two years ago, in order to create the Fallen Heart Flame Sprite by grafting, Lin Yuan once separated a wisp of sprite from the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

That seed fire was just a framework for grafting, and Lin Yuan did not divide out too much of the original power.

Even so, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, whose origin was damaged, still took two and a half years of nurturing before it was fully restored.

This time, Lin Yuan separated a sub-fire from every strange fire he could get. For a considerable period of time afterwards, until these strange fires were completely restored, their origins could not be moved.

This means that for a considerable period of time, the newly born flame cannot be strengthened by feeding the origin of the strange fire.

However, this can be compensated by the Flame-making Technique. The flames created by the Flame-making Technique are not picky about food and can feed on all types of flames.

After considering many factors, Lin Yuan resolutely decided to use the Burning Technique and the Flame Technique together.

Using the seed fire of the strange fire as the original fire material, the Flame-making Technique as the main body, and the remaining scrolls of the Burning Technique as the blending, a new type of flame is created that is no less essential than the general strange fire.

Afterwards, let the newly born flame devour the power of other flames.

As an eighth-grade alchemist, it is extremely easy for Lin Yuan to collect a large amount of high-quality beast fire!

Use the remaining scrolls of the Burning Art to grant the flame the ability to devour strange fire, allowing the newly born flame to devour the high-quality flame of the strange fire to improve its status. Then use the characteristics granted by the Flame Manipulating Art to devour the huge energy of the beast fire and enhance its power.

If everything goes well, it won't be long before he can create an extremely strong new flame, whose power may be no less than those of the latter few on the Strange Fire List.

And this new flame is made from the seed fire of the strange fire. In a sense, perhaps it can be considered a new kind of strange fire?
Thinking of this, a sharp look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"It's time to add some more strange fire to this world!"

Although in Lin Yuan's foresight, the power of strange fire has an extremely special status, extremely powerful and extremely special.

But as a time traveler, he did not have too much awe for the strange fire, nor did he think that the strange fire was the strongest and most special force in the Douqi Continent.

Although the strange fire was a strange thing born under the principles of heaven and earth, it was not a power that no human could reach. On the contrary, in Lin Yuan's view, the new things created by intelligent life could surpass the things that were naturally formed according to the principles of heaven and earth.

Taking the strange fire as an example, there are twenty-two recorded kinds of strange fire. When combined with source energy and after a thousand years of hard training, it is just a Dou Emperor - Tushe Ancient Emperor.

In the era of abundant energy, more than ten Doudi were born among the intelligent creatures...

Recovering his wandering thoughts, Lin Yuanyuan started practicing his skills and soul techniques, adjusted himself to the peak, and then slowly closed his eyes again.

"Na——"

With a low shout, Lin Yuan clenched his palms suddenly, and three tiny strands of strange fire flew into his body with a "whoosh".

His mind sank into his body, and three tiny wisps of flame were moving around.

Lin Yuan formed several seals, and his fighting spirit and blood intertwined in his body to form a blue-red light shield, wrapping the three flames within it. Immediately, his soul power surged out from between his eyebrows and invaded the three flames, controlling all their details.

Then, an order emanated from his heart.

"Fusion!"

As the order was issued, the three strands of fire collided fiercely with each other.

"Bam—"

When the three fires collided, the resistance force suddenly exploded. A three-colored fire wave spread out and hit the surrounding blue and red light shield fiercely, causing ripples like water waves and firmly blocking the impact.

Feeling the violence in the red-green light shield, Lin Yuan's mind turned, "Simply using pressure to fuse is not the best strategy, so... let's use the fire control formation to assist!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan immediately implemented it and formed several seals smoothly.

Green, blue and white, three different colored fires tumbled and their shapes began to change rapidly.

"Wolf Spirit·Condensation!"

"Lion Spirit·Condensation!"

"Jiao Ling·Condensation!"

Soon, a cyan fire wolf, a white fire lion, and an ice-blue fire dragon, three tiny fire beasts, appeared in the light shield. "Five-wheeled Fire, Three Spirits Gathering Fire Plate!"

With a low shout in his heart, the three fire beasts gathered together, and then suddenly spun at high speed. The three-colored flames intertwined and turned into an extremely condensed three-colored fire disk.

Relying on the blending and harmonizing power of the formation, the three kinds of fire entered a relatively stable state.

Lin Yuan carefully controlled all the details of the three-color fire disk, allowing the three intertwined flames to come into more complete contact little by little.

As time went by, the three flames in the fire plate actually began to merge!

At the same time, as the three fires showed signs of merging into one, a faint breath of destruction began to brew again.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled with a confident look.

The seal on his hand changed again, and immediately a rather mysterious energy seeped out from the Qianlan Heart Flame in the fire plate. Under this power, the faint aura of destruction gradually subsided, and the fire plate stabilized again.

As time goes by, the three colors of the fire plate begin to blend into one color.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Lin Yuan did not dare to relax at all, clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind. Although the fusion of the three seed fires had begun, it would not be a one-day job. It would still have to continue for a period of time that could not be interrupted. During this period, the amount of fighting spirit and soul power consumed would be extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan is now able to afford this horrific consumption, both in terms of fighting spirit and soul.

He meticulously operated his soul power, fully controlling the subtle changes in the Fire Disc, and steadily advancing the fusion of the three fires...

Time passed unnoticed, and the three-colored fire disk slowly merged into one color!
three days later.

The Little Medical Fairy ended her retreat and slowly walked out of the cave.

She looked at Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on the Green Lotus Platform, and adjusted herself slightly, restraining her powerful aura to avoid disturbing Lin Yuan.

Immediately, he moved and flashed to the side of Venerable Skyfire who was guarding the periphery.

"Eight Star Douzong!"

Sensing the powerful aura of Little Medical Immortal, Skyfire Venerable said in amazement: "You have such strength at the age of 20, Little Medical Immortal, your achievements are not inferior to those top geniuses of ancient ancestral bloodlines..."

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Yao!" The Little Medical Fairy smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for protecting us these past few days..."

"It's just a small matter!" Venerable Skyfire waved his hand casually.

"Senior, how is Lin Yuan's current condition?" Little Medical Fairy asked directly without being too polite.

She knew that Lin Yuan was planning to merge multiple kinds of seed fire into one. As a holder of strange fire, she also understood the danger of that.

Worry can lead to confusion. Even with Xiao Yixian's temperament, she couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment.

“I don’t know his detailed situation.” Skyfire Reverend shook his head, but his tone was quite excited: “He has been in this state for three days. If he failed, there should have been movement, but now…”

After a pause, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, "His breathing is stable, which means he has passed the most difficult stage. The possibility of success is very high."

"Thank you, senior, for informing me!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian finally felt relieved. She smiled and nodded, then moved and appeared next to a giant tree at the edge of the valley.

She sat cross-legged under the tree, protecting Lin Yuan while adjusting her own state.

This valley has returned to its former tranquility.

In this quiet atmosphere, the three of them went about their own business. In the blink of an eye, two more days had passed...

The third day, early morning.

The little medical fairy who usually stared at Lin Yuan slowly withdrew her gaze and was about to continue meditating and practicing.

At this moment, Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus Seat, suddenly opened his eyes which had been closed for several days, and a ray of ice-blue fire flashed in his eyes.

"Fusion is complete! The Flame Technique has been successfully cultivated..."

With a slight smile on his lips, an ice-blue flame emitting a rather mysterious aura rose from Lin Yuan's body surface. As the flame swayed, an extremely cold atmosphere spread out, and the surroundings were instantly shrouded in frost.

"Condensation——"

With a low humming sound, the seals in Lin Yuan's hands changed rapidly.

The moment the seal fell, the ice-blue flames surrounding Lin Yuan gathered together and finally condensed into a tiny wisp of ice-blue flame.

From the appearance, this flame is no different from the Qianlan Heart Flame.

However, the extremely cold air it radiated from the inside out, and the energy fluctuations it emitted, told everyone that it was definitely not the Qianlan Heart Flame Fire, but something even higher than the Qianlan Heart Flame Fire...

This wisp of ice-blue flame is the product of the successful fusion of three kinds of seed fire.

The fluctuations emitted by this fire are quite mysterious, between sub-fire and strange fire. It is much stronger than sub-fire, but still one step away from the real strange fire.

While he was thinking, Venerable Skyfire and Little Medical Fairy also flashed to his side.

"Lin Yuan, how is it?" asked the Little Medical Fairy.

"Don't worry, everything is going well!" Lin Yuan smiled and gave her a reassuring look.

The Skyfire Venerable on the side stared at the ice-blue flame for a moment, and asked excitedly: "Lin Yuan, is this... a success?"

"Basically completed, but there is still one step left!" Lin Yuan nodded, then shook his head.

As he spoke, he looked at the remaining Fallen Heart Flame Sub-Fire and Netherworld Poison Fire Sub-Fire. His eyes became deeper and he waved his hand. Dozens of jade bottles filled with beast fire flew out from the Nether Sea Ring and hovered around him.

With a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: "Little Medical Fairy, wait for me for a few more days! Wait until I have completely completed the Qianlan Ice Flame..."

Hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy looked at the ice-blue flame on Lin Yuan's fingertips. Against the backdrop of the cold atmosphere around it, it looked particularly beautiful at this moment.

"Dry Blue Ice Flame... it's still a good and appropriate name!"

With a soft smile, the Little Medical Fairy said gently, "It's okay, you can finish your work first! I'm not in a hurry here, it's just the right time to complete the control of the peak soul power of the mortal realm, and also hone my fire control ability."

After breaking through two stars in a row, the improvement in his cultivation brought about an increase in soul power, and finally the Little Medical Immortal reached the peak of the mortal realm.

After saying that, Little Medical Fairy flashed and returned to the tree again.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Tianhuo said in a deep voice: "Leave the protection to me!" After that, he went directly to the edge of the valley and became alert.

Lin Yuan did not act pretentiously. He waved his hand and used the Falling Heart Flame Fire Technique, then skillfully began a new round of devouring and fusion.

"I hope these flames can help Qianlan Bingyan take this final step..."
