The Three Effects of a Spirit Furnace

The Three Effects of a Spirit Furnace

"Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace."

"Let me see what special effects this Spirit Furnace I've never heard of has."

With that, he lightly slapped his chest.

Waves of white light silently emerged. His vast Internal Spiritual Energy was instantly stirred, beginning to swirl around his chest.

Ye Tian cut his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and flicked it away.

The blood landed precisely on the Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace.

Blue-white light suddenly flared, forming a beam that gathered at Ye Tian's chest.

It was as though a passage had formed.

The next moment, the tiny blue-white cauldron slipped into Ye Tian's body along the beam of light.

A scorching sensation instantly washed over him.

Ye Tian clenched his teeth and made no sound.

Fortunately, after several breaths, the uncomfortable swelling heat quickly faded. A faint blue-white glow rippled through Ye Tian's body.

His skin was instantly covered in a crystalline sheen.

With his eyes tightly shut, Ye Tian felt countless streams of cool energy spread from his chest throughout his body.

With every flicker of light, a Spirit Furnace mark appeared on his chest.

Blood served as the guide, and spiritual power as the medium.

This Spirit Furnace, condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, had completely become a part of Ye Tian's body.

The basic requirement for fusing with a Spirit Furnace was reaching two hundred points of spiritual power.

Ye Tian had long since surpassed that threshold, so there was naturally no issue.

The night passed soundlessly.

When the glow on his chest finally faded completely, Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes.

"So this is the Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace?"

After completely fusing with it, the specific effects of the Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace appeared in Ye Tian's mind.

Perhaps because it had evolved from the Sacred Pull Spiritual Furnace—

The Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace retained the Sacred Pull Spiritual Furnace's traits. It had no offensive or defensive capabilities of its own, nor could it greatly increase Ye Tian's Internal Spiritual Energy.

However, it could draw the enemy's attention. Put simply, it could taunt them.

After activating the Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace, enemies would prioritize attacking Ye Tian until they killed him or he voluntarily canceled the Spirit Furnace's ability.

Moreover, the Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace could evolve at least four times.

Beyond that, the Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace was also an attribute-less Spirit Furnace.

It placed no burden on the body during use, and its spiritual power consumption was practically negligible.

Attraction—this was the Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace's first effect.

Its second effect was body tempering!

The Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace could absorb the Power of Stars to help Ye Tian temper his body.

In the terms of the Holy Demon Continent, that meant increasing External Spiritual Power.

The upper limit of External Spiritual Power for a third-tier professional was generally two hundred. Raising it afterward was undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Yet External Spiritual Power was equally important!

It was not obvious at lower cultivation levels, but once one reached the Seventh Order or above, the importance of External Spiritual Power would become apparent.

If spiritual power was liquid, then the body was the container.

Only when the container was large enough and tough enough could it hold more liquid.

Just like some Ninth Order professionals in the Holy Temple Alliance.

It was not that their potential had reached its limit and they could not cultivate to a higher realm. Rather, their bodies restricted them, leaving them unable to withstand more spiritual power.

Sufficiently powerful External Spiritual Power was also beneficial to Internal Spiritual Energy cultivation.

"This really came at just the right time!"

Delight appeared on Ye Tian's face.

Though he did not know how effective the star tempering would be, it could at least not be worse than training on his own.

The Sacred Star Spiritual Furnace's third effect was concealing one's aura.

As long as Ye Tian did not make a move, even a Ninth Order powerhouse would be unable to detect fluctuations in his spiritual power.

"Damn, a Spirit Furnace made exclusively for sneaky bastards!"

Every ability was useful to Ye Tian.

Although it did not greatly boost his strength in a short period, no Spirit Furnace could surpass it in supportive functions.

At the very least, Ye Tian was quite satisfied now.

Over the next few days, Ye Tian stayed home and kept his mother company.

Only after his mother, Liu Mei, had returned to her usual state did he resume his cultivation.

Three days later.

The golden sun rose in the east.

"Mom, I'm heading to the Branch Hall!"

After casually calling out a greeting, Ye Tian left home alone.

As he walked down the streets, everything was much the same as usual.

Haoyue City did not seem to have become tense because of the Demon Race's attack.

Ye Tian arrived at the Haoyue Branch Hall at an unhurried pace, and his gaze caught a familiar figure at the entrance.

"Haochen?"

Ye Tian called out tentatively.

The figure at the Branch Hall entrance immediately turned around.

"Brother Tian?"

Long Haochen's face lit up with surprise.

The youth hurried toward him, only to stop before Ye Tian. His mouth instantly trembled downward.

The emotions he had suppressed for days burst forth once more.

"Brother Tian, Dad and Mom have both left. They only left me behind."

Long Haochen's voice choked with sobs as he spoke.

The phrase "pear blossoms in the rain" was clearly meant to describe a woman, yet it fit him perfectly now.

Noticing the strange thought in his mind, Ye Tian hurriedly shook his head.

"Haochen, don't be sad. Since Aunt Bai Yue and the others didn't take you with them, there's no use continuing to grieve."

"If you want to reunite with them sooner, then cultivate diligently."

"When you become strong enough, you'll be able to see Aunt Bai Yue again!"

Hearing Ye Tian's comfort, much of the sadness in Long Haochen's heart faded.

He wiped away his tears and nodded heavily.

"Brother Tian, you're right. I'll become a Seventh Order Knight as soon as possible, then go find Dad and Mom!"

"That's the spirit!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded.

Yet there was a faint trace of pity in the way he looked at Long Haochen.

This unlucky kid was far too naïve!

The reason Long Xingyu had not taken Long Haochen away was entirely because he had gotten himself worked up, believing that Bai Yue had betrayed him.

Every time he saw Long Haochen, his heart would be filled with unbearable pain.

It just so happened that the Demon Race had infiltrated at this time, so he used his arranged battle with Demon God Ananda, the seventh pillar Demon God of the Demon Race, as an excuse to take Bai Yue back to Imperial Dragon Pass.

Of course, he might also have intended to use familial affection to spur Long Haochen on.

Over their time together, Long Xingyu had also come to understand Long Haochen's character.

Long Haochen placed exceptional importance on family.

Perhaps his longing for his family could become the driving force behind his growth, allowing him to become strong enough to threaten the Demon God Emperor sooner.

Then, he could incite father and son to kill each other.

No matter which one died, it would benefit Long Xingyu.

Unfortunately, this unlucky kid still naively believed that Long Xingyu truly cared about him.

There was nothing Ye Tian could say about such a matter.

He could not possibly tell Long Haochen outright that Long Xingyu thought he had been cheated on and wanted Long Haochen dead, could he?

If he really said that, Long Haochen would probably turn against him on the spot.

I'll see how things go later.

Ye Tian lightly shook his head. For now, he did not intend to interfere too much and silently changed the subject.

"Haochen, why did you come to the Haoyue Branch Hall this time?"

Long Haochen nodded. "I came to see Hall Master Nalan. Dad asked me to come to the Haoyue Branch Hall to learn the various skills of a Guardian Knight."

"I see. Then let's go in together!"

With that, Ye Tian led Long Haochen into the Haoyue Branch Hall.

The two guards at the entrance had already been replaced.

Although they did not know Long Haochen, they knew Ye Tian, so they naturally did not stop them.

The two made their way to the reception hall on the first floor.
