Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

"Quick! Now! Swallow the sub-fire and circulate the 'Burning Technique'!" Yao Lao shouted immediately upon seeing the medicinal power fully dissolve, his tone urgent and tense.

Xiao Qing dared not delay. He reached out and took the flickering, pale white flame, took a deep breath, and swallowed it directly into his mouth!

When the fire entered the body, the expected violent impact did not arrive immediately.

The innate suppressive force of the [Law of Fire] still exists, making the small fire, despite its immense energy, still appear somewhat "tamed".

It began to operate along the route of the "Burning Technique," bringing not an unbearable burning pain, but a slight swelling sensation caused by the meridians being filled and expanded by the immense energy.

Xiao Qing merely frowned slightly before fully activating his cultivation technique, guiding the powerful strange fire energy into his battle qi, propelling the "Burning Technique" towards a higher level...

The old doctor, who had been watching intently and ready to intervene at any moment, was now dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.

That's...that's it?

What happened to the promised extreme danger?

What happened to the supposed near-death experience?

The strange fire that could annihilate even Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses was so obediently absorbed?

Aside from frowning slightly, there was almost no reaction.

The old medicine doctor: "???"

What about the process?!

What about the thrilling and perilous refining process?!

How come it's as easy for him as drinking cold water?!

The Burning Technique has successfully evolved to the intermediate level of the Profound Rank!

Xiao Qing carefully felt the battle qi within his body, which had become several times stronger, like a surging river, and a strong sense of satisfaction and contentment welled up within him.

The difference between Xuan-rank and Huang-rank techniques is indeed like heaven and earth. Whether it is the total amount of battle qi, the recovery speed, or the smoothness and explosive power when it is used, there is a qualitative leap!

Now, not only has "Burning Technique" successfully advanced to the Profound Rank, but Xiao Qing's cultivation level has also risen accordingly, breaking through to the third level of Dou Shi! And this is all under the premise of absorbing the Cold Fire Child of the Bone Spirit that Yao Lao had a master.

Yao Lao is the master of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. When the sub-fires are separated, most of the original energy is still retained in the main fire.

If it were one of those unclaimed wild flames containing complete origins, the terrifying energy contained within would probably allow Xiao Qing to soar directly to the peak of the Dou Shi realm!

As Yao Lao could clearly see from the side, Xiao Qing was simply circulating his cultivation technique normally, and the speed and scale at which the surrounding天地 (heaven and earth) energy was absorbed was several times more terrifying than before!

The energy vortex almost materialized, emitting a low, howling sound.

This is clearly the amazing effect brought about by the advanced intermediate-level Xuan-rank "Burning Technique".

"This...this terrifying cultivation efficiency!" Although he had already expected it, seeing it with his own eyes still left Yao Lao speechless once again.

It wasn't that he looked down on Battle Masters, but was this the kind of cultivation scene a Battle Master should have?

This is unheard of!

With a thought, a pale white flame leaped from Xiao Qing's palm.

The sub-flames of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame burned quietly, but the terrifying power emanating from them, a mixture of coldness and heat, was in no way inferior to the Bone Spirit Cold Flame itself in the hands of the old man.

It even surpasses Xiao Qing's [Law of Fire] in terms of the purity and agility of its energy because it contains a trace of that characteristic!

"Teacher, your Bone Spirit Cold Fire seems to have undergone some kind of transformation and received a huge boost under the blessing and nurturing of my physique!" Xiao Qing said to Yao Lao, skillfully manipulating the pale white flame in his palm and making it change into various shapes.

Moreover, Yao Lao could clearly sense that the essence of the flame in Xiao Qing's hand seemed to have begun to transcend the realm of ordinary bone spirit cold flames.

If it is nurtured within Xiao Qing's body for a long time and continuously imbued with the [Law of Fire], it is highly likely to transform into an unprecedented, unique, and powerful new strange fire that belongs solely to him!

"Truly...unbelievable!" Yao Lao finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been nagging at him, "Qing'er, what kind of special constitution do you possess? Not only can you innately suppress the strange fire, but you can also enhance and transform the offspring of the strange fire to such an extent?!"

Innate Fire Spirit Body!

After a moment's thought, Xiao Qing decided to give a name that could explain most of the anomalies without revealing the core secrets of the book.

"This disciple calls it the Innate Fire Spirit Body."

This isn't entirely a lie; combining the "Innate Spiritual Body" with the "Law of Fire" to call it the "Innate Fire Spiritual Body" is not unreasonable.

"Innate Fire Spirit Body..." Yao Lao murmured the name, remaining silent for a moment, seemingly searching his memory for related records...

Suddenly, the old apothecary raised his head sharply, his eyes flashing with a bright, enlightened light, and shouted, "Good!"

"What a magnificent 'Innate Fire Spirit Body'! Innately close to all fires, wielding fire as easily as an extension of one's own arm, and even able to promote the evolution of fire seeds! This heaven-defying physical characteristic truly lives up to the name 'Fire Spirit'!" Elder Yao clapped his hands in praise, seemingly having found a reasonable explanation for his disciple's extraordinary abilities that was enough to astound the world.

The old doctor naturally thought of the phenomenon of strange flames of heaven and earth giving birth to intelligence. Some powerful strange flames could even eventually transform into human beings and possess intelligence no less than that of humans.

Looking at Xiao Qing's figure, which resonated faintly with the energy of heaven and earth, Yao Lao's illusory figure rippled gently in the air, his heart filled with countless emotions.

His disciple's physique seemed to be that of a born master of all fire!

"If I hadn't personally confirmed that he was a human with flesh and blood and a complete soul, I would have truly suspected that my disciple might have been a primordial flame born at the beginning of time, which had taken human form after countless ages..."

The old apothecary pondered to himself, still finding it hard to believe.

After all, the ability to suppress all fire from birth is such an incredible and inconceivable quality that it is beyond common sense.

"Perhaps only someone with Xiao Qing's unique physique, born with the destiny of heaven and earth, can explain all of this. His very existence may represent some kind of favor and manifestation of the 'fire' element in the universe."

The old doctor tried to use his extensive knowledge to understand this phenomenon.

"While ordinary special physiques are strong, they rarely possess such absolute suppressive power. His 'Innate Fire Spirit Body' is so high that it has probably already reached the very source..."

A thought involuntarily surfaced: 'Perhaps this is the 'Child of Heaven and Earth,' occasionally mentioned in ancient texts, born from the very essence of heaven and earth? Born in accordance with destiny, bearing some kind of divine mandate?'

Thinking of this, the old doctor's feelings became even more complicated. He felt both immense joy at receiving such a fine disciple and a sense of awe and heavy responsibility.

Teaching such a disciple may not only be a matter of teacher-student relationship, but also a cause and effect that is about to be swept into a vast and turbulent situation.

The old apothecary composed himself, ceasing his deep contemplation. Regardless, Xiao Qing was his disciple, and that would not change. The road ahead, whether stormy or calm, would be one of master and disciple walking together.

"alright."

Suppressing his excitement, Yao Lao glanced at the darkening sky and said to Xiao Qing, "Today's harvest has already been enormous; it's not advisable to be greedy. It's getting dark; you should go back and rest well to stabilize your cultivation."

"Starting tomorrow, I will officially begin teaching you advanced combat techniques, and... how to become a true alchemist!"

The old master needed some time to process the series of shocks that had followed today, and to properly plan the future path for this prodigy disciple.

"Okay, teacher!" Xiao Qing nodded.

After continuous breakthroughs, switching cultivation techniques, and absorbing strange fire, my mind had been highly focused. Now that I've relaxed, I do feel a bit tired.

Xiao Qing retrieved the Bone Spirit Cold Fire into his body, bowed to the old medicine master, and then turned and walked towards the direction of his family.

The old man's soul also transformed into a stream of light and disappeared back into the black ring on Xiao Qing's finger.

The mountains and forests returned to silence, with only the lingering energy in the air telling the story of how extraordinary everything that had just happened was.
