Refining Inner Medicine with Thunderfire

In the spacious living room, on the sandalwood table, the snow-white teacups remained untouched. Mu Huaijin and his two companions frowned, somewhat uneasy about their disciples.

"They were having a very pleasant conversation. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourselves," said an elder from the Six Royals Ancestral Court.

Mu Huaijin actually got up, ignoring the elder's slightly stiff expression. Soon, Mu Huaijin returned blankly, his face quite rigid.

He noticed that some of his disciples were earnestly communicating with Qi Zizai, their expressions filled with admiration and shock, and they even humbled themselves to ask him questions.

Qin Ming put down the killing cup and said, "Fire is earth, thunder is thunder. When fire rages, it can connect with thunder and lightning, which is called Earth Fire triggering Heavenly Thunder. You have already mastered the fire power, so you don't need to seek thunder and lightning from nothingness."

"You only need to ignite the fire; when it reaches the point where it can scorch the night sky within your body, the Thunder Force will manifest."

"This... can it really work?" The Silver-Armored Girl shifted from indignation to doubt, then to surprise, and finally, a complex mix of admiration and surprise. Qin Ming smiled and said, "Of course it can work. You forgot, during the duel, I used the Yi Wood Essence to fuel the fire. When your fire was at its peak, the thunder..."

Did the energy appear naturally?

"I think I understand!" The Silver-Armored Girl nodded solemnly.

Normally, fire energy and Thunder Force should develop in tandem, but since fire and lightning are already out of balance within her, the only solution is to find another way to make the fire energy sufficiently strong, and then, without forcing it, the Thunder Force will naturally emerge.

Extreme Yin can generate Yang, Thunder Fire Force are originally one, Thunder Force can naturally be born from "Extreme Fire".

In fact, Qin Ming had even more ideas, but they seemed unsuitable for the Silver-Armored Girl, as a slight mishap could lead to her death.

"When Thunderfire combine, they can be used to refine Great Medicine."

Qin Ming keenly discerned some meaning from this sentence.

Many people believe that once the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire is cultivated to a certain level, it becomes equivalent to a special spiritual fire, which can assist pharmacists in refining medicine.

Qin Ming, however, believed that this was not about seeking external remedies, but rather about "internal cultivation."

He was well-versed in the "Life Altering Scripture" and was quite familiar with the practices of the ancients. That short sentence could very well be a "True Words"!

He felt that adding a few more words would make it less likely to be overlooked, "When Thunderfire combine, and dragon and tiger unite, Great Medicine can be refined."

He thought about it and felt there was something fishy about it; it was probably true.

Qin Ming temporarily put aside these thoughts, because he still needed to have a friendly and cordial exchange with people. Besides the Silver-Armored Girl, there were other people present.

He had written the "Immortal Combat Scripture), but Ji Daocheng was determined, so it was probably hopeless.

He could only approach the other disciples, and finally confronted the yellow-clad youth who had once External Manifestation eight pairs of golden arms. "Brother, there's something wrong with your approach."

He had already given that familiar opening line, mentioning that he had had a long "conversation" with the Silver-Armored Girl. Moreover, the group of Beyond-Mundane Disciples could see that the Silver-Armored Girl had indeed benefited greatly.

They didn't know why this madman from the Six Royals Ancestral Court was so enthusiastic, actually kindly helping them analyze the problem.

"No way, I feel like his incredible comprehension is almost on par with my sister's." The White-Clad Girl Luo Yao, observed Qin Ming.

She was very perceptive; she noticed that the other person could extract a great deal of insight from a short passage of scripture, making it much more detailed than the original.

Not long ago, the Silver-Armored Girl had briefly mentioned a few passages about the problems she had encountered, so everyone present observed Qi Zizai's performance.

The young man in yellow initially didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Ming, believing that his own understanding of the scriptures was beyond Qin Ming's reach, as it was a secret Cultivation Method and nothing an outsider could possibly know about.

"The so-called ' External Manifestation Thousand Hands' are imitations of Godlike creatures deep within the Night Mist World." It sits cross-legged on the Saint Mountain, its slender arms, like the blazing sun, holding divine objects and scriptures; ordinary people cannot look directly at it.

Qin Ming remained calm and chatted with him at length.

"Your <Thousand Hands> manual, also known as <War Body>, was created by a predecessor on my New Life Path after he ventured into the depths of the Night Mist World, observed Godlike creature from afar, and lost his sight due to bleeding eyes."

The boy in yellow was stunned. This was almost exactly what the elder had said; he actually knew all of this! Then, the two began to interact.

By observing his emotional fluctuations, Qin Ming gained even more valuable information, and began to cite classical texts and then delve into in-depth analysis.

The area fell silent. The group of Beyond-Mundane Disciples were stunned. Was this still the "disqualified one" they had looked down upon?

At this moment, their sense of superiority was shaken and began to crumble, because in terms of comprehension alone, the other party was simply too "demonic"!

"Grandmaster on the New Life Path?" Some people looked at him strangely, as if he were a monster. "Excuse me, could you make me a cup of tea?"

Qin Ming, his throat dry from talking, handed over the teacup he was holding.

The White-Clad Girl Luo Yao, was in a daze and simply took it. She almost exploded in anger; were they really going to order her around like this?

Qin Ming didn't even look to see who took the teacup. He was still discussing Dao with the young man in yellow, determined to obtain the "Thousand Hands" Cultivation Method. If he were to comprehend it, the power it would unleash would be completely different.

Luo Yao stiffened slightly; how could she possibly be willing to pour tea!

However, if she were to have an outburst and smash the glass, wouldn't that lead to a misjudgment by both parties?

The disciples of the Six Royals Ancestral Court nearby were all amazed. Senior Brother Qi Zizai was even ordering around Beyond-Mundane Disciples at will. His status was truly impressive.

Only Zhuo Ya suspected his identity, but she had no evidence.

She searched and found that neither Qin Ming nor Cao Wuji had come; they were said to be in seclusion practicing Extraordinary Art.

In the end, Qin Ming didn't even get to drink the tea, but he was already very satisfied with obtaining the <War Body> and prepared to study it in depth. A golden alien beast shot up from the back mountain of the Six Royals Ancestral Court. Although it looked like it was only at the level of the Heavenly Master, its speed was incredibly fast.

The idea, beyond ordinary imagination, traversed the pitch-black world of Wulang.

Finally, it appeared before a mountain gate shrouded in mist. After receiving the message, it flew inside, and the letter it carried landed in a slender, white hand.

"Lu Zizai to life, and his talent surpasses even that of Lu Yu." The owner of the slender hand murmured to herself in the night before unfolding the letter to read it.

The exchange ended in a fairly harmonious atmosphere. Qin Ming had met many people, but had only gained two Secret Method, which he was already satisfied with.

He began to ponder it that very day.

The "Thousand Hands" Cultivation Method, once mastered, is considered a powerful War Body, but Qin Ming only practiced it for one night before temporarily abandoning it.

At the New Life level, he could barely project any of his energy outwards; practicing this secret technique now was truly a stretch. He made a slight attempt to External Manifestation some of his arm energy, but it was short and weak, making him look like a centipede.

The main problem is that he currently finds it quite difficult to materialize the Heavenly Light Force, and it's hard to truly stabilize it; it will soon shatter. After resting, Qin Ming studied the secret manual, <Purple Mansion Thunder Fire>.

He had already mastered the Li Fire Force, Wind Thunder Force, and Wind Fire Force, and his own power inherently contained Fire Force and Thunder Force. Now, after a deeper analysis of this book, he could say that he achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Ultimately, he not only mastered the Thunder Fire Force, but also achieved a certain level of proficiency, as he could switch between the Wind Fire Force and the Wind Thunder Force. For a moment, a layer of Thunderfire appeared on Qin Ming's body.

While the Thunder Fire Force is still developing, it's a good time to try refining medicine. Even if his understanding is flawed, it won't seriously injure him. Naturally, he doesn't seek external medicine; he begins "internal refining."

Following his own understanding, Qin Ming began to activate the "Earth Fire" from his feet, guiding it upwards and then carefully drawing upon the Heavenly Thunder " from his head, which then spread downwards. With a loud boom, he saw stars; the Thunder Fire Force and fire was extremely uncomfortable as it surged through his body.

Fortunately, this kind of Thunderfire was only recently developed and was far from being fatal, so he could use it with confidence to test his ideas.

Qin Ming was blasted by the Thunder Fire Force at least thirty times. Even with his powerful physique, he felt excruciating pain; his face was bruised and purple, and his hair was disheveled.

Vertical, quite a ruthless act.

If people knew what he was doing, they would definitely think he was making trouble out of nothing and was simply masochistic.

The thirty-sixth time, Qin Ming's Thunder Force passed the head barrier and no longer exploded on his face; the fiery energy had also spread to his legs. The forty-ninth time, the Earth Fire reached his abdomen, and the Heavenly Thunder reached his chest. His expression changed slightly, not because he was severely injured, but because he felt...

The flesh and blood seemed to be undergoing a gentle baptism.

"There's hope! The Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire haven't even merged yet, but they're already tempering the body. It's definitely not just an offensive technique, but also an internal cultivation method!" His confidence grew even stronger.

Finally, after nearly a hundred attempts, Qin Ming was close to success.

The Earth Fire and Heavenly Thunder met in his chest and abdomen, intertwining and swirling, slowly shrinking as if to transform into a pill.

"When Thunderfire combine, and dragon and tiger unite, Great Medicine can be refined!" Qin Ming was certain that it should be feasible.

He kept trying, and once, when the Thunderfire were intertwined and spinning violently, he seemed to smell a faint medicinal fragrance!

Of course, this wasn't something he smelled with his mouth and nose, but rather a strange "fragrance" emanating from the faint "Inner Medicine" that he sensed through his throat, thanks to the accumulated Consciousness Spirit Light and Divine Wisdom within him.

"This method is wonderful. Even if you can't refine the Dragon Tiger Pill, using thunder and Thunderfire every day is enough to cleanse your flesh and internal organs. It's not just a killer technique, but also a very high-level Life-Nurturing Art."

Qin Ming was confident that he would be able to refine the "Inner Medicine" sooner or later.

Two white clouds later, Lu Zizai appeared and told him that they had to run away.

Qin Ming had been completely absorbed in his internal cultivation, oblivious to everything around him. Now, he finally snapped out of it all and declared, "Senior Brother Lu, I'll go with you!"

He worried he wouldn't be able to leave alone; after all, his various actions had definitely caught the attention of the old men of the Six Royals Ancestral Court. "Hmm, that's fine."

Lu Zizai nodded in agreement.

"Senior Brother Lu, what exactly is your background?" Qin Ming asked.

"My grandfather was Lu Yu," Lu Zizai told him.

"Lu Yu?" Qin Ming's eyes widened. Could this so-called Lu Yu be... Six Sovereigns?!

"It's just as you imagine," Lu Zizai said calmly.

Qin Ming's heart was filled with turmoil, and it took him a long time to say, "I thought you were the Young Ancestor." Lu Zizai sighed softly and said, "There aren't many left from their generation."

Lu Zizai left with Qin Ming without any hindrance, and they traveled smoothly all the way out of the mountain gate.

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, only then noticing the little golden bird on Lu Zizai's shoulder. He was about to compliment it on its beauty when he froze instantly.

Because the little bird was also looking at him, he felt as if he were being attacked by a prehistoric behemoth.

In that instant, through his keen, instinctive perception, he seemed to see a Night Mist World behind the little bird, where he stood and looked...

A golden raptor as large as a mountain!

He quickly moved the light away; was even a little bird this outrageous?

"Little Qin!" Someone waved from outside the mountain gate. It was Li Qingyun, who had been guarding this place for who knows how many days. "Master Li!" Qin Ming was very moved and immediately ran over.

(There's more to come!)
