Method for Shaping Exotic Flame Spiritual Meridians!

In the third year, you defeated a Divine Soul Stage opponent while at a lower level using the God-tier low-grade spiritual art, Heavenly Dragon Flame Finger. You received praise from the academy Teacher and obtained a God-tier low-grade movement spiritual art—Heavenly Fire Dragon Steps.

In the second month, you broke through to the Divine Soul Stage and formally graduated from the academy. According to the rules of the Endless Fire Domain, you could choose one of three Heavenly Flame seeds: Living Flame, Green Lotus Core Flame, or Falling Heart Flame. You were overjoyed...

The academy Teacher then explained that this had been the intention of the Flame Emperor, master of the Endless Fire Domain. After entering the Great Thousand World, he had struggled with the fact that people from his plane lacked Spiritual Meridians and cultivated slowly. Thus, after much deliberation and studying the records of the great Ancient Clans, he changed the precedent that Divine Soul Stage cultivators could only absorb beast souls. Instead, they could absorb Heavenly Flames between heaven and earth, using them to transform the human body and pioneer the Method of Creating Artificial Exotic Flame Spiritual Veins.

As long as the absorbed Heavenly Flame was powerful enough, it could create geniuses with Spiritual Meridians no inferior to human, earth, heavenly, or even god-tier Spiritual Meridians. This was also the foundation of the Endless Fire Domain's strength.

Next, the academy Teacher introduced the uses of the three Heavenly Flames. Living Flame could stimulate the growth of medicinal ingredients, while Falling Heart Flame could accelerate cultivation...

As for Green Lotus Core Flame, the Endless Fire Domain was located in the Heaven Burning Mountain Range, where volcanic lava was abundant. It was easy to find spiritual treasures compatible with it and promote its evolution, giving it the greatest potential for growth.

After much consideration, you ultimately chose Living Flame. Under the academy Teacher's supervision, you refined Living Flame and formed an Exotic Flame Spiritual Vein.

In the third month, because you had chosen Living Flame, you were assigned to the Alchemy Pavilion and began as an Alchemy apprentice.

In the fourth month, thanks to your accumulated experience in reality, you improved at an astonishing pace. The Endless Fire Domain never lacked geniuses, and you had no intention of concealing your strength. Before long, you displayed the ability of a First-grade Alchemist, receiving preferential resources from the Alchemy Pavilion and a summons from Xuan Yi, one of the Alchemy Pavilion's nine elders and an Earth Supreme Great Perfection expert.

You could not help recalling her identity. Rumor had it that she was the Grand Elder of the Endless Fire Domain's inner domain, the Flame Emperor's Teacher, and Medicine Heavenly Venerate's old lover...

Xuan Yi randomly tested you with several questions and was very satisfied with your performance. She decided to reward you with a secret art, then took out three secret art scrolls for you to choose from.

The first scroll, "Fire Spirit Splitting Soul Technique"—could split a Heavenly Flame into two and control two flames at once. At its highest level, it could divide one flame into nine. It was an exceptionally profound flame-control technique.

The second scroll, "Blood Burning Pill Condensing Method"—increased the success rate of pill refinement by sacrificing essence blood. However, it required a period of recovery afterward, and excessive use would damage one's foundation.

The third scroll, "Clear Heart Pill Method"—enhanced one's perception of medicinal ingredients and increased the success rate of alchemy.

You carefully weighed the pros and cons before ultimately choosing the "Clear Heart Pill Method." Xuan Yi gave a slight nod and was very satisfied with your choice.

Afterward, you devoted yourself to cultivation in the Alchemy Pavilion. With the assistance of the "Clear Heart Pill Method," your perception of medicinal ingredients increased dramatically. You successfully refined a second-grade spiritual pill and became a Second-grade Alchemist...

In the fourth year, the Endless Fire Domain held its Outer Domain Grand Competition. With your Heaven Melting Stage cultivation, Living Flame's healing properties, the Great Pagoda Art, and a series of other methods, you defeated several powerful opponents in succession and ultimately took third place in the Heaven Melting group.

In the fifth year, as third place in the Heaven Melting group, you were rewarded with one year of cultivation in the Heaven Burning Tower of the inner domain. There, you saw the legendary "Flame Emperor," Xiao Yan, for the first time. Though you only caught a distant glimpse of him, that vast, abyss-like aura remained unforgettable for the rest of your life.

In the sixth year, you returned from the inner domain with your cultivation already having broken through to the Heaven Piercing Stage. You received a summons from Emperor of Ice Hai Bodong, the Grand Elder of the Outer Domain, master of the Mysterious Ice Continent, current wielder of Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and one of the Alchemy Pavilion's nine elders...

Hai Bodong granted you the status of a core disciple of the Outer Domain, and you became a Third-grade Alchemist. Yet you were only twelve years old...

In the seventh year, the Outer Realm Evil Tribe suddenly attacked the outskirts of the Heaven Burning Mountain Range. Since you had yet to break through to the Supreme Stage, you were ordered not to leave and could only devote yourself to cultivation. Soon afterward, you broke through the first tribulation of the Minor Tribulation of the Supreme—the Body Tribulation—and became Xuan Yi's disciple. Under her guidance, you became a Fourth-grade Alchemist.

In the eighth year, you unfortunately ran into Old Man Yao and Xuan Yi on a date. You called him "Master's husband," greatly delighting Old Man Yao, who rewarded you with a Top-grade Spirit Artifact medicine cauldron—the "Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun Cauldron."

The cauldron was entirely crimson, its body carved with nine fire-bathed phoenixes. It could automatically regulate the heat and greatly increase the success rate of pill refinement.

In the ninth year, under Xuan Yi's guidance, your alchemy advanced by leaps and bounds. You became a Fifth-grade Alchemist and obtained vast resources through alchemy, breaking through the second tribulation of the Minor Tribulation of the Supreme, the Spiritual Power Tribulation!

In the tenth year, the Outer Realm Evil Tribe launched a massive assault. The Endless Fire Domain entered a state of war readiness. Though you had not yet reached the Supreme Stage, your status as a Fifth-grade Alchemist earned you a place in the logistics corps, where you were responsible for treating the wounded.

After the war ended, you were given the opportunity to enter the Scripture Depository and choose a cultivation art as a reward for your contributions. Standing before the vast sea of ancient texts, you forcefully suppressed your desire for other high-level cultivation arts and ultimately chose the "Detailed Explanation of the Serpent Seal Curse."

According to the elder guarding the pavilion, this secret manual had been personally improved by Primary Consort Cai Lin. She had transformed the sealing technique, which had originally only been suitable for the Snake-human Race, into a universal version that humans could cultivate as well. Naturally, it also contained the method to break it.

Afterward, you returned to your residence, took out the Inheritance Jade Slip, poured everything you had learned in your lifetime into it, and continued cultivating...

This simulation has ended—

You may choose one of the following three items:

1. Living Flame (Divine Soul Stage flame seed)

2. Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun Cauldron (Top-grade Spirit Artifact)

3. Your Inheritance Jade Slip

"Tut, tut, tut. I never expected Senior Old Man Yao to be living so comfortably in the Endless Fire Domain. His later years were quite carefree..."

Lu Yu stroked his chin, a teasing glint flashing through his eyes. Then, as though recalling something, a mischievous look appeared in his gaze. "But when it comes to the most impressive one, it still has to be Xiao Yan. He actually came up with something like Exotic Flame Spiritual Veins and forcibly raised the cultivation aptitude of an entire Lower Plane."

"No wonder the Endless Fire Domain rose so quickly in just a few hundred years. With Spiritual Meridians and an endless supply of pills, how could it not produce countless geniuses and outstanding talents?"

"Since that's the case, there is nothing to hesitate over. I'll choose the Inheritance Jade Slip. It must contain the Method for Shaping Exotic Flame Spiritual Meridians and the method to break the Snake Seal Curse..."

With that, Lu Yu willed it, and a crimson Jade Slip appeared in his hand. Immediately afterward, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

"God-tier low-grade spiritual art, Mysterious Yellow Breathing Technique; God-tier low-grade movement spiritual art, Heavenly Fire Dragon Steps; Method for Shaping Exotic Flame Spiritual Meridians; Clear Heart Pill Method; Detailed Explanation of the Serpent Seal Curse..."

"There's also the inheritance of a Fifth-grade Alchemist. By the standards of the Dou Qi Continent, that should be roughly equivalent to an Eighth-grade Alchemist?"

Lu Yu gently stroked his chin and fell into thought.

The Great Thousand World's classification system differed somewhat from that of the Dou Qi Continent. Spirit Array Masters and Alchemists below the Supreme Stage were divided into five grades, from first to fifth, corresponding respectively to the Spirit Wheel Stage, Divine Soul Stage, Heaven Melting Stage, Heaven Transformation Stage, and Heaven Piercing Stage.

Converted into the cultivation system of the Dou Qi Continent, these were respectively equivalent to Da Dou Shi through Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Emperor, Dou Zong, and Dou Zun.

As for Alchemists comparable to the Supreme Stage, they were respectfully called Alchemy Masters in the Great Thousand World. They were divided into human, earth, and heavenly grades, corresponding exactly to the three major realms of Ninth-grade Alchemists in the Dou Qi Continent.
