As a father, how could Tang Zhen not understand his daughter's thoughts? He hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply, as if he had put down a heavy burden in this sigh.
Then, he seemed to be talking to himself, or to someone in the air, with a hint of relief in his tone: "Well, if that's the case, let's see what he wants to do. After all, he is an eighth-grade alchemist. Maybe there are some tricks here that we don't understand."
Facing all kinds of curious and puzzled looks from all around, Xiao Ling, as the person involved, was not affected at all. His attention remained focused and was not disturbed by the outside world.
The seventh-grade elixir is incomparable to ordinary elixirs. This high-level elixir contains extremely huge energy, reaching the extreme state of ordinary elixirs.
The refining process of each seventh-grade elixir will attract the attention of the rules of heaven and earth, which will send down elixir thunder for baptism. This is not only a reflection of the energy of the elixir itself, but also a severe test of the alchemist's skills.
The key to upgrading a seventh-grade elixir to an eighth-grade elixir is to give it spirituality. Only in this way can the elixir contain more abundant energy.
Under the guidance of spirituality and the joint nourishment of energy, the elixir will undergo substantial changes, thereby achieving a leap in grade and reaching a higher level of existence.
This process not only requires the accumulation of energy in the elixir itself, but also tests the alchemist's understanding and control of spirituality.
Imbuing a pill with spirituality is an extremely difficult task. To create a pill that can carry spirituality requires not only a highly skilled alchemist, but also the highest quality medicinal materials used.
Obviously, although the medicinal materials used in the Fire Bodhi Pill that Xiao Ling is currently refining are quite rare, they have not yet reached the high-level quality that can carry spirituality.
For ordinary alchemists, there is no other way for the current situation. But Xiao Ling is different. He has learned a unique alchemy technique taught by Yao Lao, called "Spirit Ascension Method".
The method of spiritual advancement consumes a great deal of the user's soul power. Only alchemists who have reached the eighth level or above are capable of performing this secret method.
This is because in order to use the method of spiritual advancement, one must rely on powerful soul power to support it, so as to control and guide the elixir to enhance its spiritual energy and evolve its grade during the refining process. However, the soul power of an ordinary alchemist is far from meeting such requirements.
However, for Xiao Ling, whose soul power has reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm, he has long been qualified to practice the method of spiritual ascension. His soul power is strong enough to support the use of this secret method, and it also makes it possible for the Fire Bodhi Pill in front of Xiao Ling to cross the upper limit.
These thoughts flashed through Xiao Ling's mind. At this moment, his hand had already reached into the bright energy beam, gradually approaching the red flame-like pill.
During this process, Xiao Ling's eyes were half closed, and his mind kept replaying every detail of Yao Chen's teaching him the method of spiritual ascension. Those scenes, those steps, were like being replayed in front of his eyes, every movement, every key point, were vivid in his mind.
The memory only took a moment. Xiao Ling took a deep breath of air. Then, his eyes suddenly opened. The hand that reached into the light column suddenly clenched. A strong energy wave instantly spread around.
Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Ling slowly pulled his hand out of the beam of light. At that moment, a pill that was only the size of a thumb and as red as flame suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
The pill was completely red, and its surface was as smooth as a carefully polished gem.
The most surprising thing is that there is a layer of light mist surrounding the pill. The mist seems to have life and keeps trying to penetrate into the pill, but never succeeds.
They could only helplessly surround the elixir. This scene seemed extremely mysterious and eye-catching.
Xiao Ling took the pill out of the light column, and his face immediately became extremely focused. Although he had witnessed Yao Chen's demonstration, it was still the first time for him to use the method of spiritual ascension himself.
His eyes were fixed on the red pill in his palm. After a moment, he slowly withdrew his palm, and the pill seemed to be lifted up by some invisible force and began to rotate gently in front of him, as if waiting for the next instruction.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, waiting to see what Xiao Ling would do next, the little mink sitting on his shoulder suddenly stood up. Its little paws quickly waved in the air a few times, and a mysterious energy spread from its body.
"The demonic shadow covering the sky!" Xiao Diao's voice sounded.
Following its command, a barrier quickly unfolded with Xiao Marten as the center, spreading outward like ripples until it covered a range of ten feet. This barrier completely obscured Xiao Ling's figure and the elixir, making him disappear from everyone's sight.
After witnessing this scene, the people around all showed puzzled expressions.
But when they tried to gaze into the barrier, they found that their vision seemed to be blocked by a net woven from black and purple ribbons.
These ribbons kept interweaving and spinning in the air, forming an impenetrable barrier, leaving them with only a chaotic interweaving of light and shadow.
When these people tried to use their soul power to probe the interior of the barrier, a ripple-like wave appeared on the surface of the barrier, but this wave was concave inward, like a bottomless whirlpool.
This vortex seemed to have suction power, and could quickly swallow up external soul power. In this process, the soul power would be ruthlessly compressed and twisted until it disappeared into the depths of the vortex.
Everyone soon realized that no matter whether they used their eyes or their souls to perceive, they could not figure out what was going on inside.
Obviously, Xiao Ling used some mysterious means to cut off their sight and prevent them from seeing his next move.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to try to spy anymore. After all, no one wanted to appear too presumptuous.
The other onlookers didn't feel too sorry, but the pharmacists were different. They all looked quite disappointed. Needless to say, Xiao Ling was definitely preparing to perform some powerful secret alchemy method. However, they probably didn't have the chance to see such a wonderful scene.
In the enchantment, facing this sudden change, Xiao Ling seemed calm and composed. After all, Xiao Diao's series of actions were all carried out under his instructions.
The method of spiritual ascension requires the use of three kinds of flames, and Xiao Ling was planning to use three strange fires at the same time.
Although Xiao Ling did not intend to hide the fact that he had already subdued several strange fires. After all, he would go to subdue the Three Thousand Flames of Danta in the future. By then, everyone would probably understand that Xiao Ling had the ability to subdue multiple strange fires at the same time.
But if he summoned three strange fires at once in public, the shock he caused would be extraordinary, and the news would spread like wildfire in a short time, which was not what Xiao Ling wanted to see. He didn't want to expose his trump card so easily.
Xiao Ling let go of the pill in his hand, and then he clenched his hand violently, and dark brown turtle spirit earth fire instantly jumped out. Then, he opened his mouth, and two more strange fires emerged one after another.
First came the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame that was as brilliant as gold, followed by the emerald-green Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire. The two strange fires seemed to obey the call and appeared one after another. The scene was quite spectacular, but unfortunately no one could watch it.
“Bang!
Then, Xiao Ling's mind flashed, and the three kinds of flames flew out lightly and collided violently.
The moment the three flames collided, a destructive aura quickly emerged.
But before this aura could spread, a powerful soul pressure burst out from between Xiao Ling's brows, like a giant net covering the sky and earth, tightly wrapping the flames.
Then it began to spin at an astonishing speed, keeping all the turbulence firmly under control.
Xiao Ling was already familiar with the art of fusing flames. To others, this might be a crazy move, but to him, it was just a daily routine. After all, he had practiced the art of rubbing fire lotus for so many years that he had already mastered it.
As the soul power spun rapidly, the three flames quickly calmed down under Xiao Ling's exquisite control. After about a few minutes, the soul power gradually subsided, and a wisp of brown-gold flame about the size of a fist emerged silently. Its appearance seemed to announce the birth of a new power...
As soon as the flame appeared, Xiao Ling gently waved his sleeves, and the brown-gold flame immediately flew out, accurately wrapping the playfully jumping crimson pill in front of him.
Under Xiao Ling's gaze, the dark red pill surrounded by the brown-gold flame began to tremble slightly. Then, he saw that the originally smooth surface of the pill gradually became uneven, and the essence of the pill slowly overflowed from it. However, all of this was firmly locked by the brown-gold flame, and the essence could not escape, as if it was imprisoned in the embrace of the flame.
Xiao Ling stared at the increasingly dry surface of the pill without blinking. When the energy within it was completely drawn out at this moment, the soul power of the great perfection of the spiritual realm between his eyebrows spread out, gathered into spiritual energy, and then drilled into the flames bit by bit.
As spiritual energy continued to pour into it, Xiao Ling's face became extremely solemn at this moment. The vast soul power burst out without reservation at this moment, and then all poured into the flame. Then, with an extremely precise way, he controlled the temperature and compressed all the spiritual energy into the pill at an extremely careful speed!
At this critical moment, if there was an alchemist who could use his soul perception to scan the pill at close range, they would be surprised to find that the pill's uneven surface was covered with densely packed, countless tiny holes.
These holes were so small that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, but the most crucial thing was that they contained a very faint trace of spiritual energy. These spiritual energy threads were like thin ropes, tightly pulling the spiritual energy floating around...
Chapter 374 Ancestor Huoyun
Then, Xiao Ling gently cut a hole on his thumb, carefully controlling it so that the wound would not heal automatically. Drops of blood flowed down his fingers and eventually spilled into the blazing flames.
"Blood sacrifice, soul return!" Xiao Ling muttered in a low voice.
When the blood had almost all dripped away, Xiao Ling finally released his grip on the wound. Almost in the blink of an eye, the cut on his finger healed quickly, as if it had never existed.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling let out a deep shout, and the scattered energy instantly returned to the nest like summoned bees.
Under Xiao Ling's amazingly precise soul control, these energies seemed to have found their way home, densely packed along the almost invisible tiny holes on the surface of the pill, and drilled into the inside of the pill.
At the moment when the last bit of energy was absorbed into the pill, under Xiao Ling's gaze, the pill's originally rough surface became as smooth as a mirror and incredibly round at a speed visible to the naked eye.
During this energy reflux process, the spiritual energy that Xiao Ling injected into the flames also flowed into the pill along with the energy. They made the pill undergo a real transformation, making its quality leap forward, and finally steadily leaped to the ranks of the eighth-grade pill.
Just as the surface of the pill returned to being smooth and round, undergoing a substantial transformation, outside the barrier, in the distant sky, the thunderclouds seemed to sense some kind of call, and suddenly began to boil again, rolling endlessly...
Outside the barrier, the crowd watching was still speculating on what was going on inside.
"Look, the thunderclouds in the sky are changing!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise erupted from the group of alchemists, and the sound echoed throughout the world.
Then, countless pairs of eyes locked onto the thundercloud above the square. As expected, as the thundercloud rolled violently, the already formed scale of Danlei began a new round of changes.
The thunderclouds in the sky began to roll again, and the momentum seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, as if a storm was brewing. This scene confused everyone, and they whispered to each other, but no one could explain what secrets were hidden behind this sudden change in the sky.
However, before they could come to a conclusion, a deafening roar suddenly broke through the sky. At the location where Xiao Ling was just now, the solid barrier seemed to be detonated by the huge force inside and was suddenly shattered from the inside.
A huge gap was instantly opened above the barrier. A beam of energy several times larger than any before, like a wild horse running free, rushed straight into the sky with incredible speed and instantly disappeared into the rolling thunderclouds above.
This beam of energy was like a silent horn. The moment it penetrated the thundercloud, the entire cloud layer exploded instantly like a ignited gunpowder barrel.
The dark clouds rolled outward, as if a doomsday scroll was unfolding. The power of destruction quickly accumulated, and its might instantly overshadowed the previous thunderclouds. The entire sky was shaken by this more powerful energy fluctuation.
The thundercloud changed so fast that it was hard to keep up. In just a few blinks of an eye, it expanded rapidly and turned into a huge thundercloud with a diameter of nearly 100 meters!
What is even more shocking is that this time the thunderclouds are no longer single in color, but are interwoven with blue and silver lights, as if a paint palette between heaven and earth had been overturned, painting a spectacular and mysterious scene.
Looking up at the blue and silver thunderclouds in the sky, the whole square exploded in an instant!
For many people present, this spectacle of two-colored Danlei was the first time they had ever seen it in their lives. Besides being shocked, they were also filled with incredible wonder.
What is even more surprising is that this time, he was supposed to be refining only a seventh-grade elixir, but from beginning to end, everything seemed to be carried out according to the steps of a seventh-grade elixir.
But after Xiao Ling's elusive operations, even the dullest person could clearly see the changes.
Now, the original seventh-grade elixir has been transformed into a real eighth-grade elixir. This improvement is simply unbelievable.
You know, the difference between the seventh-grade elixir and the eighth-grade elixir is a world of difference. In just a blink of an eye, the value of the elixir has increased several times. There is no doubt that Fenyan Valley must have made a fortune this time.
“Two colors! Two colors of pill lightning! This is the terrifying thunder tribulation that would only be triggered by the appearance of an eighth-grade pill…”
"How did they do that? The pill thunder just now was clearly only at the level of a seventh-grade high-level pill, how did it suddenly upgrade to an eighth-grade colored pill thunder?"
"Master Xiao Ling is extraordinary. He is the youngest eighth-grade alchemist and the number one genius in Zhongzhou. His reputation is well-deserved. This method is simply amazing."
A group of alchemy masters instantly exploded and started talking. Although their faces were different, they all showed the same expression at this moment, which was a kind of piety and awe that was almost like a pilgrim.
For these alchemists, what could be more exciting than witnessing the birth of a high-level elixir? At that moment, their eyes sparkled with infinite yearning for the highest realm of alchemy.
At this time, Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer were also completely shocked. They finally understood what happened.
Although the seventh-grade advanced Fire Bodhisattva Pill was enough to heal Tang Huoer's injuries, the pill has now been upgraded to the eighth grade. The effect will definitely be even better, and there may be extra surprises.
In short, this situation is only good for them, not bad.
Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer looked at each other and could see the surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Luckily, Huo'er, you reminded me before, otherwise I, your father, might have done something stupid." Tang Zhen looked up at the golden and silver thunderclouds interweaving in the sky, and smacked his lips in admiration, "The methods of an eighth-grade alchemist are really not something that half-baked laymen like us can easily understand."
Tang Huoer nodded without comment, while everyone else looked up at the intertwined two-colored Danlei in the sky. Only she, as if her eyes were attracted by a magnet, could not leave the slender and upright figure.
At this moment, Xiao Ling seemed to exude an indescribable charm. He was like the brightest star in the night sky, causing Tang Huoer, whose heartbeat had accelerated due to the excitement of the alchemy process, to stare at him involuntarily. In her eyes, there was not only surprise, but also a hint of admiration that was barely noticeable.
Such an outstanding and handsome man, not only talented, but also her savior. Tang Huoer's heart, which had never been moved by any man, began to ripple under Xiao Ling's influence.
At the same moment, deep in the Burning Flame Valley, in a hidden courtyard, an old man with red hair was staring in the direction of the square.
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate numerous obstacles and was focused on Xiao Ling, but the people around him were unaware of all this.
"Gold Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, Blue Lotus Earth Heart Fire, this kid can actually subdue so many different fires at the same time, it's really eye-opening." The red-haired old man gently stroked his beard, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, "His cultivation and soul power are so strong, he is indeed a rare talent."
He smiled slightly and continued to talk to himself: "It seems that Tang Zhen's daughter is attracted to this boy. Maybe I can persuade Tang Zhen to bring these two young people together. He has such superb alchemy skills at such a young age. Maybe he can really help me heal this old injury in the future."
The old man muttered to himself, feeling itchy in his heart and couldn't help but want to find out what secrets were hidden in Xiao Ling's body.
However, just as he was about to deeply explore Xiao Ling's internal condition, he unexpectedly encountered a mysterious energy. This energy was like a vigilant guard, and it unceremoniously bounced off his exploration perception.
