Chapter 193 Crimson Dragon Subduing Fire
Beyond its scorching heat, the sun's light is also a source of energy.

There is a classic saying: Particles are waves, and waves are particles; wave-particle duality.

As far as Song Wuji knew from his previous life, the energy of all life on Little Blue Star came from the sun.

Of course, it's hard to explain here, but in a true sense, Bing Fire doesn't actually belong to fire, but rather to a warm and gentle energy similar to the sun.

Refining the Bing Fire to cultivate the Bing Fire Divine Power is actually similar to refining solar energy, and using this energy to refine a small sun of one's own.

Theoretically speaking, the true power of Bing Fire can unleash energy like a nuclear bomb.

Of course, this cultivation method does not actually create a controllable mini-sun like a nuclear bomb, but rather it disperses the energy it controls, like the sun, by scattering light, heat, particles, and waves.

However, it is indeed a bit far-fetched to talk about science while cultivating immortality, but even in its absurdity, there is actually some truth to it.

At least Song Wuji held this belief, collecting the essence of Bing Fire, condensing the power of Bing Fire, and according to the [Fire Talisman Book], connecting them into a talisman to form a seed of supernatural talisman, which was then combined with the seed of Ding Fire supernatural talisman.

But why is the temperature getting higher and higher?
Song Wuji's skin had rapidly turned black, becoming a soy sauce color, making him look like an African.

The essence of the three treasures is drawn inward, the pores close, and the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and even the five internal organs are all undergoing a test.

Although Song Wuji practiced martial arts, none of them were external martial arts techniques, such as the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power.

Although people nowadays possess the supernatural power of sitting on fire to insulate themselves from some of the heat of flames, it is still difficult to achieve the effect of "sun protection".

Unable to bear it any longer, Song Wuji swallowed, and the Moon Dew of Yi Wood and the Sweet Dew of a Hundred Flowers stored in his body began to nourish his body and mind.

So he continued to focus his mind on collecting Bing fire.

Lin Fajing, on the other hand, felt that even after the firepower of the Bagua Yangsui Mirror was fully charged, it was still not enough.

I wanted to take out a precious fan, but then I realized that fire fueled by sunlight is a fire without roots, and there's no such thing as wind fanning the flames.

Therefore, the essence of Bing fire, also known as the essence of the sun, was taken out.

This substance is not particularly rare; it is extracted from gold.

As we all know, gold is a product of the Big Bang and was considered a precious metal even in the chaotic universe.

Since ancient times, Taoists have often spoken of the value of gold, referring to it in terms of elixir, gold essence, diamond, and golden body.

As for why the essence of the sun, which belongs to fire, is extracted from gold, which belongs to the metal element in the Five Elements theory, Lin Fajing couldn't explain it either. But in short, such a small amount of Bing fire essence, about the size of a fingernail, needed to be contained in a magic treasure, otherwise ordinary magic tools would burn through it.

Lin Fajing warned, "Lord Song, be careful! The essence of the sun has arrived. This substance is extracted from the feathers of the golden crow and uses gold as fuel. It is truly the essence of Yang in Li and Qian, and the unity of Qian and Li. It can refine all things into ashes. Even fine steel will evaporate instantly if it touches even a little bit."

Upon hearing this, Song Wuji sensed the Bing Fire runes he had just drawn and the Ding Fire Lotus Platform protecting him. He gritted his teeth, swallowed a large mouthful of sweet dew, and then used the power of "Gathering Firewood," secretly thinking, "I'll repay you double this time after I break through to the seventh rank!"

In an instant, he borrowed three treasures from all the people in the city who were worshipping the Kitchen God. Each person borrowed 0.01, which amounted to several hundred points. However, the level of the three treasures of ordinary people was too low. When it was converted to Song Wuji, it took 10 points to increase by one point. Even so, Song Wuji's total three treasures instantly soared from 56 points to 81 points. With the addition of the 1/3 increase from the Three Talents in Peace, it was equivalent to a total of 108 three treasures.

This terrifying accumulation of foundational elements far exceeds what an eighth-rank official can bear.

However, with the addition of the three treasures, the resistance to fire is correspondingly improved, so the complete Bagua Yangsui Taizhen is not that great.

"Master Lin, please add it!"

With his confidence restored, Song Wuji shouted loudly.

"Good!" Lin Fajing felt the vigorous vitality in the alchemy furnace, which almost overflowed the Bagua Purple Gold Furnace. The more the furnace refined this Lord Song, the stronger his aura became, and there was a faint sense of sublimation.

He flicked the essence of the sun into the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, and then activated the Six Jia Qi Men: "Gen within Li! Ben Lü unleashes flames!"

In an instant, beneath the Bagua Purple Gold Furnace, a volcanic eruption suddenly erupted, spewing out blue-purple earth fire.

Song Wuji, who was inside the furnace, was initially feeling alright, but the next moment a wave of heat hit his face, almost causing him to lose his mind.

The essence of the sun blazed brightly with the light of the Bing fire, amplifying the energy within the entire furnace a hundredfold, a thousandfold, and ten thousandfold!
Endless rays penetrated Song Wuji's skin, bones, internal organs, cells, and genes, and everything began to collapse.

But Song Wuji kept swallowing the Dew of a Hundred Flowers and the Dew of the Wood Moon to repair his injuries.

At the same time, the stove shines brightly, and a force of fire protects the primordial spirit, keeping it clear and preventing the burning pain from overwhelming the mind and ruining the practice.

Despite the pain, Song Wuji continued to connect the Bing Fire Divine Power Talisman Seeds. As the talisman was drawn, the Bing Fire appeared like swallows returning to their nests, rushing towards Song Wuji.

At the same time, Song Wuji's three treasures have also been tempered, and there is a faint sense that the three treasures are as one.

A pale golden, round, shimmering pill condensed beside the talisman-shaped golden pill.

Two golden pills! Lin Fajing calls himself a little master of alchemy, isn't that just bragging?
They actually refined the three treasures within Song Wuji's body into a golden elixir.

The next moment, the two golden pills began to spin wildly.

The Primordial Golden Elixir has only just been formed.

The talismanic elixir only refined the five elements' supernatural powers as the foundation of the elixir.

But because they are all unfinished products, they chase each other like yin and yang fish.

Although Song Wuji noticed this, he didn't know what was going on and couldn't stop it, so he could only continue to draw the talisman.

However, as the flames gradually dried up the moisture in his body, even though his Fire Sitting Technique was not broken, Song Wuji was roasted like a Peking duck, his skin oozing oil.

Even the Hundred Flower Dew and Yi Wood Moon Dew stored in the body have been completely consumed.

Seeing that the Bing Fire Divine Power was still missing the final core talisman, Song Wuji made a decisive move and swallowed the Water Virtue True Dragon scale he was holding in his mouth.

The next moment! A large amount of water elemental power collided with the fire elemental power within Song Wuji's body!
A dragon's roar echoed in my mind. The water element represented by these dragon scales is the virtue of rain, which nourishes all things in spring and brings timely relief during a severe drought...

However, the saying that water and fire are incompatible has been true since ancient times.

Zaoge was extremely displeased with the power of water! He refused to allow the true dragon's water virtue to rival his own and instead refined it.

But then they saw that a water dragon inside Song Wuji's body was being refined by the flames, and all the water elemental power in his body was being used to nourish Song Wuji's physical body.

Once that dragon-like nature was refined, the fire within Song Wuji's body took shape.

[Refine the Water Dragon Scales and comprehend the Crimson Dragon Transformation of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations!]
The next moment, Song Wuji's figure changed.

This is clearly the true dragon nature contained in the scale of a Water Virtue True Dragon. Ordinary people who refine it can only transform into a black dragon.

Unfortunately, Song Wuji turned into a red dragon.

This dragon was not a jiaolong (a type of dragon), but a young dragon with horns yet to grow, its body covered in red scales, and it could ride the wind and control fire.

Once he transformed into a red dragon, Song Wuji felt that the flames were no longer burning him, but rather as refreshing as soaking in a hot spring!
The essence of the sun was directly swallowed into his mouth, and the Ding fire and Bing fire around him merged. The core part of the Bing fire talisman was completed instantly. After merging with the Ding fire, it directly chased after Song Wuji's Hunyuan Golden Pill.

Two flames were seen refining the golden elixir, turning it from a pale gold to a deep crimson gold.

Then the Primordial Golden Elixir appeared in the mouth of the red dragon that Song Wuji had transformed into, turning into the shape of a dragon pearl.

The red dragon chased and played with the Primordial Golden Elixir in the flames. In the process of playing, its three treasures and life force gradually became one.

Lin Fajing was setting up the alchemy process outside when he heard a dragon's roar coming from the furnace: "When Celestial Master Zhang Daoling was refining elixirs, he said that when the elixir was completed, a dragon and a tiger would appear. This only has a dragon's roar, why is there no tiger's howl? Oh well! Let's continue refining!"

He immediately took out some extremely yang substances such as sulfur and realgar.

There's a saying: Sulfur, sulfur! It's the essence of fire!
This sulfur is the finest of sulfur, the essence of sulfur, which can be used to refine magical artifacts and external elixirs.

He shouted, "Lord Song, have you successfully drawn the Bing Fire Divine Power Talisman? You can cultivate the Samadhi True Fire now, right? I'm going to throw in the sulfur! This sulfur fire is fire from stone, and it has a poisonous smoke. It's really vicious. Even Sun Wukong was afraid of it back then. His eyes were ruined by a wisp of smoke, which gave him the Fiery Eyes. You have to be careful!"

Song Wuji remained silent, waiting for the thousand-year-old sulfur and ten-thousand-year-old realgar to be thrown into the furnace, and sure enough, a wisp of poisonous smoke appeared.

This flame was not as scorching as the Bing Fire, but it was extremely insidious, causing even the fire dragon that Song Wuji had transformed into to cough!
His eyes burned even more intensely, and he thought to himself, "This poisonous fire is truly vicious!"

In an instant, he activated the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Transformations Technique, specifically the White Tiger Transformation.

The White Tiger is the embodiment of constellations and the symbol of Geng metal. It is not afraid of fire or sulfurous flames.

After Song Wuji transformed into a white tiger, although he was not as free as the red dragon and felt somewhat uncomfortable, he no longer felt the smoke stinging his eyes, so he began to refine the stone fire.

Just as he transformed, a tiger's roar startled Lin Fajing, making him doubt himself: "Could it be that I am truly a genius alchemist, just like the Ancestral Celestial Master back then, whose alchemy produced dragons and tigers?"

So he intensified his alchemy techniques, controlled the Eight Trigrams Yangsui Array and the earth fire, and even took out a large amount of lightning-struck peach wood and lightning-struck jujube wood.

These items are for refining Thunderfire Tokens. They could originally be used as weapons of the Thunder God and are essential for Taoists to cultivate thunder magic. They can absorb thunderfire and celestial energy. However, at this time, in order for Song Wuji to cultivate Samadhi True Fire, they also need to be used as materials for aerial fire and put into the furnace!

After Lin Fajing put the materials into the Bagua Purple Gold Furnace, he said, "Lord Song, this thunder and fire is more dangerous than sulfurous fumes. Thunder and fire damages the primordial spirit! It is the most effective way to refine yin essence. If you are not careful, your three souls will be scattered, and you will become an idiot. All your previous efforts will be wasted."

"But it's alright. I just heard the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers. I suppose the method of alchemy is the same when it comes to refining people. I'll do a good deed to the end and use the Heavenly Talisman Technique to summon the power of the Heavenly Physician. Our Ancestor Xu is the Heavenly Physician Emperor in the Heavenly Hospital of the Upper Realm! He is skilled in healing Dao injuries and can help you nurture your Golden Core!"
