Chapter 112: Refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame

Chapter 112: Refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame

"I need to get accustomed to my body. You two talk," Venerable Tian Huo said, then flew into the sky, performing various maneuvers as he went.

Venerable Feng turned to Xiao Tian and said, "Now that Tian Huo has been revived, can we begin crafting a body for your master?"

"Venerable Feng, no need to rush!" Xiao Tian replied. "I've discovered a crucial issue during this refinement process."

"What issue?" Venerable Feng asked.

"The materials used to craft the body are key to restoring strength," Xiao Tian explained. "We used the blood essence of an eight-star Dou Zong-level magical beast, a seven-star Dou Zong-level body, and a peak seventh-tier pill, yet Tian Huo only recovered to a four-star Dou Zun. If we use better materials, we might not only restore to the peak but potentially break through in cultivation."

"Are you suggesting we use eighth-tier magical beast blood and a Dou Zun-level body?" Venerable Feng frowned, knowing that even he, a low-level Dou Zun, couldn't easily kill a Dou Zun.

"So this matter needs careful planning," Xiao Tian said. "I think it's best to wait and find better materials."

In the original story, Xiao Yan used an eighth-tier Bone Merging Blood Pill, peak seventh-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix blood essence, a four-star Dou Zun body, and a part of a Dou Sheng's arm to craft Yao Lao's body, which ultimately allowed Yao Lao to break through to the semi-saint level.

Venerable Feng turned to Yao Lao and asked, "What do you think?"

Yao Lao pondered for a moment before replying, "Since we've waited this long, let's see if we can find better materials. If we can't, we'll make do with what we have."

Restoring strength at the Dou Zun level is difficult. He didn't want to go through the trouble of reviving only to spend decades regaining his power. Although there are pills that can help, they can't fully restore strength if the gap is too wide.

Seeing Yao Lao's agreement, Venerable Feng nodded and said, "In that case, let's plan carefully."

Sensing Venerable Feng's low spirits, Yao Lao added, "Don't worry, young Xiao Tian's cultivation speed is incredibly fast. When he reaches the Dou Zun level, the three of us can easily kill a Dou Zun, especially if we target someone from the Hall of Souls. I hold a deep grudge against them now."

With that, Yao Lao touched a black ring, and a mass of bone-white flames emerged, floating in the air. It was the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Tian with a gentle gaze and said, "Tian'er, you've practiced the Flame Mantra, so different flames are crucial for you. Go ahead and refine this flame now."

"But Master, you need this flame to protect your soul!" Xiao Tian said.

"You stubborn child," Yao Lao shook his head, then touched the Bone Spirit Cold Flame with his finger. He trembled violently, his soul form becoming even more translucent.

"I've erased the soul imprint in this flame. You can refine it now," Yao Lao said, gently caressing the flame before flicking it to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian took the flame and solemnly said, "Master, I promise to find the best materials to craft your body."

He then went to a secret room with the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Xiao Tian used the Nine Nether Cold Qi obtained from the ancient stele space to suppress the flame. He then extracted the flame's source and swallowed it.

Instantly, Xiao Tian was engulfed in bone-white flames, and the room's temperature soared, distorting the space.

The refinement had begun.

Xiao Tian was excited about this refinement. After all, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was ranked eleventh among different flames, two ranks higher than the Fallen Heart Flame.

Refining and absorbing the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was easier than Xiao Tian had expected. This was understandable, as the flame had already been refined by Yao Lao, and its intellect had been erased long ago. A flame without intellect could only resist so much.

This was akin to an army without a general; a single assault could cause a complete collapse. Moreover, the new flame formed by merging three different flames was more potent than the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, making it easy to subdue.

As Xiao Tian progressed with the refinement, the room's temperature continued to rise. Even an ordinary Dou Zong wouldn't dare stay long in such heat.

Time passed, and Xiao Tian's aura grew stronger.

Three-star Dou Zong! Four-star Dou Zong!

In a short time, Xiao Tian advanced from the peak of two-star Dou Zong to six-star Dou Zong!

Xiao Tian didn't immediately emerge from his retreat. Instead, he took a Qing Ming Pill and swallowed it. A vast amount of pure medicinal energy surged within him, and his aura climbed once more.

Seven-star Dou Zong!

With the help of the Qing Ming Pill, Xiao Tian reached the seven-star Dou Zong level.

...

Outside.

"This Flame Mantra is incredible!" Venerable Feng exclaimed, "Just refining one different flame boosted his cultivation by five stars. No wonder he's a Dou Zong at such a young age. At this rate, he won't take long to reach Dou Zun."

"Though the Flame Mantra is remarkable, the ability to successfully refine each flame is rare," Yao Lao said. "When I refined a single different flame back then, I nearly died. This young man has already refined four."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a scorching pillar of smoke shot up from the secret room, raising the temperature of the surroundings significantly.

"Whoosh~"

Gale winds arose, and layers of dark clouds gathered in the sky.

"A heavenly phenomenon? Is he refining another pill?" Venerable Feng wondered.

"No!" Yao Lao said excitedly, "It's possible the Flame Mantra has evolved to the heavenly level!"

"What? A heavenly level technique?" Venerable Feng was stunned. Only factions with Dou Shengs had such techniques. Xiao Tian's cultivation method now rivaled the core disciples of the top superpowers in Central Province.

Xiao Tian emerged from his retreat, shaking his head. "As expected, refining four different flames only upgraded the Flame Mantra to quasi-heavenly level. However, due to its unique nature, this quasi-heavenly Flame Mantra is as powerful as true heavenly-level techniques. With the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, my ability to absorb energy from the heavens is on par with high-tier heavenly techniques."
