People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

97: Chapter 97 The Old Medicine Master Almost Kneeled! Emperor Yan Tried to Scam Himself”How could the Bone Chilling Flame be afraid!?” Venerable Yao found it inconceivable.

According to what Xiao Ting said, the Purple Heaven Flame was a mutation of the Beast Fire after he absorbed the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s accompanying purple crystal source, influenced by the Di Tier Low-grade lightning-fire attribute cultivation technique Xun’er gave him, turning it into a special real fire with dual lightning and fire attributes.

He indeed felt a trace of an aura within the Purple Heaven Flame that was similar to the purple fire in Xiao Yan’s hand.

This kind of flame was certainly stronger than Xiao Yan’s purple fire, but it should still be insufficient when faced with a Strange Fire.

And his Bone Chilling Flame was ranked eleventh on the strange fire ranking list; how could it be afraid?

No, it was more than just that. Strange Fires were naturally incompatible; even if it faced one of the top ten on the strange fire ranking list, the Bone Chilling Flame would think of mutual destruction rather than submission.

”Oh no!”

Amidst his shock, Venerable Yao noticed the energy in the medicine cauldron becoming unstable because the Bone Chilling Flame was acting up, risking an explosion at any moment.

If he were in his prime, he could settle such a small mishap with a single thought, but he was currently in a severely damaged soul state.

His soul power was fully invested in the pill refinement; he couldn’t easily distract himself to resolve the disturbance caused by the Bone Chilling Flame.

”Xiao Ting, withdraw your flame, or else this refinement will fail.”

But Venerable Yao was Venerable Yao; he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Although it would result in the green spirit pill only having two patterns, it was better than failing with an explosion.

Thinking of his status as the dignified Venerable Yao, who had never failed in refining an Eighth Grade Pill, he had almost lost his lifelong reputation over refining a mere tier 4 pill.

”Fail?”

Xiao Ting wouldn’t allow Venerable Yao to fail. With a thought, he pulled back the flying Purple Heaven Flame.

He then took out a special jade bottle, opened the stopper, poured it forward, and said, ”Senior, I have a trace of the Green Lotus Core Flame that I captured here. See if you can use it.”

Venerable Yao’s soul power was immense; with just a distracted sweep, he confirmed there was no issue with this trace of Green Lotus Core Flame. He immediately controlled the medicine cauldron to fly over and suck it inside.

Boom!

The energy within the medicine cauldron shifted violently.

Before long, a formed pill flew out from the medicine cauldron, encircled by three colors of flame patterns.

”This old man’s lifelong reputation is preserved.” Venerable Yao remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief as he reached out to catch the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill.

”The quality is excellent. The probability of successfully increasing three stars after you refine it is very high, and even if it fails, there is no risk of falling in realm.” Venerable Yao revealed a satisfied smile, thinking to himself that he was indeed worthy of his name.

”Thank you, Senior.” Xiao Ting reached out to take the pill and then took out another pile of medicinal herbs: ”With Senior’s strength, you don’t need to rest midway, right?”

Venerable Yao: ”...”

The corner of Xiao Yan’s mouth twitched. For a moment, he seemed to see the kind of black-hearted capitalist from his previous life who exploited laborers like oxen and horses.

”No need for rest, but this old man has a question to resolve.” Venerable Yao flew in front of Xiao Ting and spoke with interest: ”Summon that flame you control; it seems a bit unusual.”

Naturally, it was unusual; that was the Purple Heaven Flame.

Even if its power grade was only at the third rank now, its origin was still that flame from the Supreme Primordial World, which stood even above the firmament tablet of the Great Thousand World.

Xiao Ting had actually anticipated that Venerable Yao wouldn’t be able to use the Purple Heaven Flame for pill refining. This was because when he had summoned the Purple Heaven Flame in front of the Green Lotus Core Flame previously, the Green Lotus Core Flame had conveyed a sense of fear and submission, even actively seeking to be devoured, willing to become a part of the Purple Heaven Flame.

But he hadn’t done so. It wasn’t necessarily to leave it for Xiao Yan or Xun’er, but rather because he felt doing so would be too wasteful.

Whether for the Purple Heaven Flame or the native Strange Fires of the Fighting Qi Continent, devouring other Strange Fires only increased power, or rather, ”cultivation.”

Even for the Void Swallowing Flame, which possessed an innate devouring ability and was ranked second on the strange fire ranking list but was actually first, devouring other Strange Fires was the same.

Otherwise, the Void Swallowing Flame wouldn’t need to cooperate with the Hun Clan to collect souls to enhance its soul realm; it could just search the continent for Strange Fires to devour.

In fact, for the Void Swallowing Flame, which was likely still at the peak of an Eight Star Dou Sheng, even devouring someone at the level of a Five Star Dou Sheng like Jin Liya might not allow it to break through its realm.

The Burning Technique was the fundamental way for a Strange Fire to transform and elevate its origin. This technique merged the essence of Strange Fires to become a new Strange Fire—it was the Dao!

That was why Xiao Ting speculated that the Burning Technique was like the Immortal Record for practicing the Eternal Immortal Body—it was a prerequisite technique for practicing a Primal Dharma Body.

It was just that the Eternal Immortal Body still existed, while the Burning Technique was related to the five shattered Primal Celestial Bodies. Therefore, this path was even harder to walk, requiring the fusion of ten thousand fires.

”Senior, I think it’s better not to look, lest it leaves a shadow on you.” Xiao Ting gave a very considerate reminder.

”It’s just a flame, what kind of shadow could it leave on this old man?” Venerable Yao waved his hand indifferently.

Seeing this, Xiao Ting summoned the Purple Heaven Flame to gather in his hand.

On the surface, this flame was beautiful and contained terrifying power.

Venerable Yao had already seen it once; this time he chose to use his soul power to sense it.

”Hiss!”

The moment his soul power touched the main body of the Purple Heaven Flame, Venerable Yao felt the Bone Chilling Flame deep within his soul begin to go frantic.

That flame, which bore his soul imprint, actually wanted to break free from his control and offer itself to the Purple Heaven Flame.

That kind of submission from the very origin almost made him kowtow to Xiao Ting.

It was only because Xiao Ting put the Purple Heaven Flame away at the critical moment that he didn’t lose face.

”Whew.” Venerable Yao panted with lingering fear, instinctively dreading: ”This flame of yours, this flame... it couldn’t be the Di Yan ranked first on the strange fire ranking list, could it?”

Xiao Ting: ”...”

”I don’t know either. It appeared on its own. I only know it is a stroke of fortune.”

”This is a heaven-defying fortune.” Venerable Yao adjusted his emotions and said with a serious expression: ”No wonder you could become an Alchemist; it’s likely related to the special nature of this flame. Remember to nurture it well in the future; it will surely bring you a huge surprise.”

Venerable Yao didn’t know how to evaluate a Strange Fire that could make the Bone Chilling Flame want to offer itself.

But what was certain was that the upper limit of this flame was extremely terrifying, and it also raised Xiao Ting’s upper limit infinitely.

”In the future, if you want to gain the recognition of the faction behind your little girlfriend, you might have to rely on this flame.” Venerable Yao spoke earnestly.

Xiao Ting understood this principle very well without Venerable Yao having to say it.

The Great Dao Blessing obtained from the Diary was naturally not ordinary.

After the small interlude, Venerable Yao began refining pills again.

During the observation process, Xiao Ting did not forget to record his recent experience and thoughts into the Diary.

[Venerable Yao guessed that the Purple Heaven Flame is Di Yan. I can only say this is the worst the Purple Heaven Flame has ever been insulted.]

[This experience makes me curious. If I summon the Purple Heaven Flame inside the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode, will the inheritance left by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor directly and actively seek me out?]

[It seems now that the Plane Blessing only slightly increases my cultivation speed. The annual Great Dao Blessing is what’s truly worth looking forward to; it can bring me fundamental improvements.]

The girls: ”...”
