Chapter 189 Flame Salamander's Blue Flame

A current of practically burning lava rapidly flowed from his hands into his meridians .

BOOM!

When that current entered his meridians, it was like salt water had met fresh water, causing violent surges that filled him with pain .

He continued to control the speed at which the energy was flowing into him . If he let that terrifying energy directly flood into his body, his meridians would immediately burst .

His FengFu Star was quickly circulating, and his enormous spiritual qi was pouring out . It controlled the speed at which the Neidan's energy flowed into his body . He needed to let his meridians gradually become accustomed to that violent heat .

The Neidan was the spot where all the Flame Salamander's energy had been stored over its lifetime . If the Neidan were to explode, that terrifying energy would be able to immediately exterminate several third rank Magical Beasts .

And despite his slow absorption speed, Long Chen still found the pain difficult to endure . That terrifying heat was constantly roasting his meridians .

There was also a violent Qi that was constantly circulating around . That Qi possessed an instinctual destructive will that wanted to burn everything .

It was good that Long Chen had made enough preparations . With the Fire Gathering Pill, he had a layer of protection over his meridians that prevented that energy from harming them .

He also celebrated that he had just advanced to the seventh Heavenstage, allowing his meridians to grow even stronger . Otherwise even with the Fire Gathering Pill's protection, he might have already failed .

All things were difficult at the start . But once you managed to get past the beginning, the rest would be comparatively easier .

Long Chen continued to absorb the Neidan's energy . There was an incredible amount of energy within it, and Long Chen didn't dare increase his absorption speed, and so it took a full six hours for him to completely absorb it .

By the time all that energy was absorbed, the original beast flame inside the Neidan had also disappeared .

All that energy that had been within the Neidan was now within Long Chen's meridians . In reality, that energy was the Flame Salamander's Core Flame .

The Flame Salamander was incredibly strong, most likely even beyond Long Chen's imagination . If the Flame Salamander hadn't been weakened by birth that time, he really would have been screwed .

Now the Flame Salamander's Core Flame was surging within Long Chen's meridians . Long Chen's Spiritual Strength slowly erased its berserk nature .

It was lucky that the Flame Salamander's Core Flame didn't actually have any consciousness . By using a gentle, stealthy method, he managed to easily erase that destructive will without worrying about a backlash .

Once the Core Flame's will had been erased, Long Chen took a deep breath . Now was the real test .

"Condense!" Energy surged out of his FengFu Star, entering into the furthest reaches of his meridians and driving the beast flame to the center .

Having lost its will, the beast flame followed his energy surging towards his Dantian .

BOOM! All the scattered beast flame collided together .

Long Chen coughed up blood, his face completely pale .

"Damn, I failed . I just knew my luck was crap . "

Long Chen gasped for breath . That attempt just now had completely exhausted him . Unfortunately, he had failed to accomplish what he had wanted .

"Although I failed, I saw a flicker of the rune . That means there's still a chance . "

Long Chen had wanted to use a fierce collision of the beast flame to obtain the Flame Salamander's own rune .

As a fire-attribute Magical Beast whose beast flame was ranked ninety-seventh on the beast flame rankings, it possessed its own bloodline inheritance .

Such a Magical Beast's Neidan contained its runic power . But that kind of rune was unusable by humans .

Long Chen was hoping to have the beast flame collide within his body . During that chaotic explosion, he would be able to grab onto the runic power .

That was only possible because the Neidan he had managed to obtain had barely lost any of its energy back then . As long as Long Chen caused its energy to erupt out, he was able to see that rune .

The Fire Gathering Pill he had consumed didn't just have the purpose of protecting his meridians . Its main ability was to gather every single bit of flame energy together .

If others did this, their Dantian would explode . But Long Chen didn't have to worry about that since his Dantian was empty .

"Again!"

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

He coughed up blood time after time . He felt that his body was about to collapse . But there was one thing that allowed him to continue .

That was because every time he collided the beast flame, he saw the rune becoming clearer and clearer . However, that rune would only appear for the briefest instance . That moment wasn't long enough for him to take control of it .

BOOM!

"Wait a sec… ugh, I failed again . "

With another explosion, the rune appeared again, this time extremely clearly . Long Chen attempted to use his Spiritual Strength to link up to that rune, but the flame energy scattered too quickly, causing the rune to also disappear .

"Ugh, I need a break . " Long Chen was absolutely exhausted . Coughing up mouthfuls of blood wasn't something to worry about with his powerful physical body, but driving the flame into huge collisions greatly exhausted his Spiritual Strength .

That was especially true at the moment of collision . He would exhaust use ten times the Spiritual Strength in an attempt to link up to that rune when it appeared .

He had already attempted this over ten times . Even though his body was able to continue, his spirit was not . He had a splitting headache now .

Quickly consuming a spirit stabilizing pill, he focused on recovering his spiritual energy . Two hours later, at least part of his Spiritual Strength had recovered .

"This time I'll definitely succeed!"

Although each time he had failed, he had accumulated more and more experience . He was much more sure of himself than at the beginning .

Once more driving the scattered beast flame in his meridians towards his Dantian, this time he used several times more intensity than before .

BOOOM!!!

When the beast flame collided inside his Dantian, terrifying energy exploded out . A rune immediately appeared within that fierce blaze .

"Quick… quick… get over here!"

Buzz .

Suddenly his mind shook . A strange fluctuation came from his spirit . An imprint appeared in the deepest part of his soul .

"I succeeded?" Long Chen opened his eyes . Extending his hand, a blue flame rose . Although it was only just a foot long, that terrifying heat caused all the surrounding grass three meters around him to dry up .

Long Chen slowly close his eyes . Taking a deep breath, a fluctuation came from the depths of his spirit . He once more opened his eyes .

BOOM!

The flame in his hand pulsed and a clear rune appeared in the flame .

When that rune appeared, the surrounding grass immediately became ashes . Everything around him in an area of dozens of meters was now charred black .

"Haha, I succeeded, I…"

The world suddenly spun around him . Exhaustion battered him, and he immediately fainted .

When he once more woke up, he was lying in bed .

"You've finally woken up! What the hell were you doing? You were covered in black ashes when I found you . " Tang Wan-er walked over with a wet towel .

"Hehe, I was doing a grand experiment . " Long Chen was extremely pleased .

"You almost burnt yourself to death . Don't tell me you were experimenting with barbecue?" laughed Tang Wan-er, moving to wipe his face .

Long Chen was given a fright and hastily took the towel . "I think I'll do that myself . I really would be embarrassed to trouble the faction leader with such a thing . "

Tang Wan-er reddened slightly . She sniffed, "You also get embarrassed? When we carried you back, you were like a little beggar . If it weren't for both me and sister Qing Yu, do you think you would be so clean?"

Long Chen was startled, realizing his clothes had been changed . He hastily checked his clothes, immediately feeling relief when he saw his original clothes were just underneath .

"Scoundrel, what's with that expression?" Tang Wan-er gave his elbow a pinch . His expression really was annoying .

"Wan-er, you're bullying Long Chen again . " At this time Qing Yu walked over . She had just happened to see the scene of Long Chen grimacing in pain .

"Sister Qing Yu, why do you always take his side? He's clearly the one bullying me!" Tang Wan-er felt somewhat wronged .

She also sighed inside . Why was this scoundrel's luck always so good? Whenever she got the advantage, Qing Yu would always immediately appear .

Long Chen laughed mischievously, "Sister Qing Yu, you've misunderstood . I was just playing a joke with Wan-er . "

Tang Wan-er glanced at Long Chen with some relief . At least this brat knew how to talk .

"Right, what time is it?"

"It's not what time, but what day . You were asleep for two days . It's the afternoon of the third day," answered Tang Wan-er .

"What, I slept for two days?!" Long Chen was shocked . He hastily leapt out of bed . "Wan-er and sister Qing Yu, close the door and activate the spirit stone formation to the max . "

"What are you planning on doing?" Tang Wan-er said blankly .

"Don't ask, just do it . " Long Chen walked into the lounge and arranged all the medicinal ingredients he had bought as well as his pill furnace .

Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu followed Long Chen's instructions, closing the stone door and activating the spirit stone formation to the max .

Normally the door was only kept open when not cultivating in order to prevent wastage . The spirit stone formation was also normally kept unactivated . That was to prolong the lifespan of the spirit stones .

If their room's spirit stone formation was activated to the maximum level, the eight spirit stones would only have enough energy to last six hours .

If they calculated it like that, Tang Wan-er only had enough spirit stones for half a month's usage . And so they saved as much of it as possible .

When they activated the spirit stone formation, the enormous spiritual qi from the spirit stones began to be quickly released . The entire immortal cave was immediately filled with dense spiritual qi .

"Long Chen, are you planning on refining pills?" Qing Yu was a bit puzzled .

"Yup . " Long Chen nodded as he confirmed all the medicinal ingredients .

He ordered the medicinal ingredients into a set sequence . That way it would be more convenient while he refined and he wouldn't have to be worry about grabbing the wrong medicinal ingredient .

"Then should we leave?" probingly asked Tang Wan-er . Although she didn't know alchemy, all the alchemists she knew never let allowed anyone disturb them while refining .

"Nope . Actually, I'll need your help in a bit," laughed Long Chen .

After saying that, he extended his hand . A blue flame rose from his palm, lighting up the entire immortal cave . It was time to test his harvest . He hoped it wouldn't disappoint him .
