Chapter 14: Absorbing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire

"Xing'er, didn't you break through to Dou Zong before your training? What's the situation with your realm now?" Master Jiang asked worriedly, having been aware of Jiang Xing's realm.

Jiang Xing signaled to Master Jiang not to worry and took out the Burning Decree from his ring, handing it to Master Jiang. "Grandpa, my realm dropped because I switched to this technique."

Hiding things from loved ones is very foolish. "Change your cultivation method?" Jiang Cheng didn't react at first, wondering if his level regressed after changing his cultivation technique. But he immediately reacted and looked at Jiang Xing. "You switched to practicing a low-level technique?"

This was no small matter. If something went wrong... Jiang Cheng quickly took the Burning Decree handed over by Jiang Xing. When he opened the first page and saw the low-level yellow-level words, he frowned but still patiently read on. Only when he saw that the level of this technique could be upgraded did he feel slightly relieved.

After a while, Jiang Cheng finished reading it and had a general understanding of the Burning Decree. The technique that can help fuse multiple different fires for upgrading is truly magical. It's not like Jiang Cheng hasn't seen martial arts that can evolve, but those martial arts basically have their limits, which means that they can only evolve to the advanced earth level at most.

Jiang Cheng was a little worried about the evolution of the level of this technique. "Can this Burning Technique evolve to the Heavenly Stage?"

"Grandpa, this Burning Technique can evolve infinitely by absorbing strange fire. If there is enough strange fire for me to absorb, I can even surpass the Heavenly Rank," Jiang Xing explained.

Jiang Cheng was silent. What he wanted to say was, how could the strange fire be so easy to find? He only knew of ten strange fires, and some of them were in the Dou Di family. In addition to the strange fire in the Dou Di family, there is the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire in the Fen Yan Valley and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in the hands of Yao Chen, who won the Danta Alchemist Conference championship. By the way, there is a Three Thousand Flames Fire in the Danta star field.

He was not afraid of the current one-star Dou Sheng ancestor of Fenyan Valley, but he had heard that the Nine Dragon Thunder Fire had been reinforced with restrictions by each generation of sect masters, so even he was not sure he could break the restrictions. As for the alchemist Yao Chen, there has been no news about him for decades. Although Danta has a Three Thousand Flames, Danta's ancestor is also a six-star Dou Sheng like him, so it is not easy for him to rob it. At this time, the fact that Old Man Shennong possesses the Flame of Life is not known to anyone.

Some blamed Jiang Xing for changing his martial arts without consulting him, but since his grandson had already made the switch successfully, Grandpa Jiang didn't say anything more. He secretly made up his mind to do his best to help his grandson find the strange fire.

Jiang Xing knew what Jiang Cheng was worried about and didn't want his grandfather to worry about his upgrade. So he took out the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire. "Grandpa, don't worry. Although strange fire is rare, it is not impossible to find. I found two strange fires in the northwest continent this time."

"Bone Spirit Cold Fire!" He was not surprised that there was the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, but what caught his attention was the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, which was ranked eleventh. Isn't this strange fire on Yao Chen? How did it appear in this northwest continent? Jiang Xing didn't intend to hide it from his grandfather and simply told Jiang Cheng about how he found Yao Chen from Xiao Yan.

Finally, in order to make Jiang Cheng completely at ease, Jiang Xing specially called Jiang Cheng to absorb the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire for him. The level of Bone Spirit Cold Fire is a bit high, and Jiang Xing doesn't plan to take the risk now. He decided to keep the Bone Spirit Cold Fire for now and absorb it later.

In the secret room, Jiang Xing was sitting cross-legged, in front of him was a lotus platform containing the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. The first time Jiang Xing absorbed the strange fire, he was still a little nervous. He took out the things needed to absorb the strange fire from the ring. Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and a thumb-sized piece of Na Ling. After adjusting his mentality, Jiang Xing nodded slightly at his grandfather. "Let's get started!"

After swallowing the Blood Lotus Pill, the cold energy quickly penetrated into Jiang Xing's meridians and finally condensed into a layer of blood-colored stratum corneum on his body. He used the power of his soul to separate the lotus pedestal from the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. Without the restraint of the lotus pedestal, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire suddenly increased by nearly several times, emitting a temperature even more terrifying than before.

Although his palm was already covered by a layer of bloody stratum corneum, Jiang Xing still felt unsafe and wrapped his palm with his fighting spirit again. He grabbed the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire directly in his hand and let it jump wildly in his hand without any intention of letting go. Staring at the green flame in his hand, Jiang Xing found the right position, decisively stretched his palm into the green flame, and directly grabbed the original fire in the center of the strange fire.

Feeling the terrifyingly high-temperature blue magma strip emanating from his hand, Jiang Xing did not hesitate and directly put it into his mouth and swallowed it. As soon as he swallowed the strange fire, Jiang Xing felt the strange fire burning in his body, and his face turned pale in an instant. "Damn it! I'm already a Dou Huang, why do I still feel so much pain?" He endured the burning pain and sank his mind into his body.

Feeling that the green color did not travel through his body, Jiang Xing grabbed the jade bottle containing the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and drank it. Then he drove it to circulate in the meridians of his body. After it was completed, he wrapped the strange fire with his fighting spirit and drove it to circulate the route of the Burning Technique.

As time went by, the refining of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and the evolution of the Burning Technique came to an end, and Jiang Xing's strength began to increase rapidly. In the end, Jiang Xing's realm remained at the eight-star Douhuang, and the Burning Decree evolved from the low-level Huang level to the low-level Xuan level. Jiang Cheng saw that the level of this martial art could indeed be improved, and after checking Jiang Xing's body to see if he found anything abnormal, he was finally relieved.

After what happened to Gu Xun'er, Jiang Cheng was worried that his grandson might be in danger here, so he spent a day opening up a space channel connecting to the eastern part of Zhongzhou with the Snake People. With this channel, Jiang Cheng will be able to get here faster in the future. Not only that, before leaving, Jiang Cheng also said that he would send a stronger guard to Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing originally wanted to refuse. Jiang Xing believed that Gu Xun'er would not bother him again after knowing that he had a grandfather who was a six-star Dou Sheng. Gu Xun'er is brainless, but the Gu clan is not. If the people of the Gu clan knew that their young lady fell in love with a loser from the poor Xiao clan, they would probably want to kill Xiao Yan.

Moreover, Jiang Xing believed that the Gu clan would not be so stupid as to provoke a six-star Dou Sheng for the sake of a person from the Xiao clan. But he was prepared for the worst. What if someone came to attack him tomorrow? He was a cautious man. Would he risk his life to make others dare not provoke him? This was definitely not an option.

As for why Jiang Cheng was not allowed to stay, it was because Jiang Xing knew that his parents needed their grandfather to look after them. For his own safety and to reassure his grandfather, Jiang Xing agreed. With this space channel, the semi-saint called by Jiang Cheng to protect Jiang Xing arrived quickly.
