Chaos Fire

"Xian Er, watch over her here. If anything happens, send me a voice transmission."

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yanmeng's delicate body, then turned to Xian Er, who was standing nearby as well, and spoke gently.

At his words, Xian Er pursed her little lips and remained silent.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled. Since he and Xian Er were bound by a soul contract—and one with him as the master—he knew she was feeling jealous.

"What's wrong? Are you no longer listening to your master?"

With that, Xiao Chen walked over to Xian Er, wrapped his fair, slender arm around her willow waist, and spoke.

"Master, I..."

Xian Er gently shook her head and looked at Xiao Chen with her pink eyes as she spoke in a soft, coquettish voice.

Her voice carried both charm and tenderness, and paired with her alluring pretty face, it immediately made Xiao Chen's eyes light up.

Xiao Chen cut off Xian Er's words. Raising his fair hand to lift her chin, he kissed her red lips.

At the same time, Xiao Chen tightly held her willow waist, while Xian Er wrapped her jade-like arms around his neck, eagerly responding to his kiss.

After they parted, Xiao Chen comforted and instructed Xian Er for a few moments before leaving the Small World within the Cosmos Ring.

It seems Meng Er will need quite some time to completely remove the black substance from her body. For now, I should learn the alchemy techniques in the Medicine Canon.

Xiao Chen appeared in his original room and muttered to himself, setting his plans for cultivation.

Now, Xiao Chen needed to study alchemy while cultivating to raise his own Cultivation, and he also had to practice the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. At that thought, he felt that the time he could spend with Xun'er had instantly been cut by more than half.

Without delay, Xiao Chen took out the Medicine Cauldron and medicinal ingredients he had bought from his Cosmos Ring, preparing to begin refining pills.

On the Dou Qi Continent, there was a profession that stood above Dou Zhe. People called them Alchemists!

As the name implied, Alchemists could refine all manner of miraculous pills that enhanced one's strength. Any Alchemist would be courted at all costs by every faction, possessing an exceptionally distinguished status!

Naturally, Alchemists received such treatment because of both their rarity and usefulness. The requirements to become an Alchemist were extremely harsh. First, one's attribute had to be fire. Second, within that fire attribute, there had to be a trace of Wood Attribute to act as a catalyst during alchemy!

One had to know that on the Dou Qi Continent, a person's attributes were determined by their soul. A soul would forever possess only one attribute; it was impossible for other attributes to be mixed in. Therefore, for a single body to possess two attributes of differing strength was basically impossible.

Of course, nothing was absolute. Among hundreds of millions of people, there would always be some with mutated souls. Those who possessed such mutated souls had the potential to become Alchemists!

However, merely possessing a soul with fire and wood attributes was still not enough to become a true Alchemist, because another essential requirement was equally indispensable: soul perception, also known as soul shaping power!

The three most important conditions for refining pills were: materials, flames, and soul perception!

Materials naturally referred to all kinds of heavenly treasures. Alchemists were not gods; without exceptional ingredients, even the most skilled woman could not cook without rice. Thus, good materials were extremely important!

Flames referred to the fire needed for alchemy. Ordinary fire could not be used to refine pills; one had to use Dou Qi flames catalyzed by fire-attributed Dou Qi. Of course, the world was filled with Heavenly Flames, and some powerful Alchemists would obtain and use them. Refining pills with such Heavenly Flames not only greatly increased the success rate.

The pills refined would also possess more potent and stronger medicinal effects than those refined with ordinary Dou Qi flames! Since alchemy was a lengthy process, prolonged refinement consumed an enormous amount of Dou Qi. Therefore, every outstanding Alchemist was also a powerful fire-attributed Dou Zhe!

The final condition was soul perception!

When refining pills, control over the heat was of utmost importance. Sometimes, if the heat was even slightly too strong, an entire batch of pills would turn to ash, rendering all previous effort wasted. Therefore, mastering heat control was something every Alchemist had to learn. Yet to control the heat properly, one needed formidable soul perception. Without it, no matter how well one fulfilled the first two conditions, it would all be useless!

Under such harsh requirements, those qualified to become Alchemists were naturally as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. With so few Alchemists, those miraculous pills were naturally scarce as well. Rarity made them precious, and this was why Alchemists possessed a status so noble it was almost distorted.

Alchemist soul levels: Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Heaven Realm, Emperor Realm.

Each realm was further divided into: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak.

Those in the Mortal Realm could refine seventh-grade pills, those in the Spirit Realm could refine eighth-grade pills, those in the Heaven Realm could refine Ninth Grade Pills, and those in the Emperor Realm could refine Emperor-grade pills.

As Xiao Chen possessed the souls of two lifetimes, the soul power he possessed was far stronger than that of ordinary people. This was his advantage. By Xiao Chen's own estimate, his soul power was equivalent to that of a Tier 3 Alchemist.

Next came the flame. With a thought from Xiao Chen, a cluster of fire appeared in his palm. It was colorless and formless, yet seemed to possess color. This fire was one of the abilities granted by Xiao Chen's Chaos Bloodline; it could also be called bloodline fire. Xiao Chen named it: Chaos Fire.

Chaos Fire could evolve by devouring other flames. Moreover, after devouring a flame, Chaos Fire would gain the abilities of that devoured flame, and so on.

Chaos Fire had many colors, such as black, white, red, orange-red, orange, orange-yellow, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, blue-violet, violet, violet-red, pink, rose pink, and dark gray. However, the color of Chaos Fire changed according to its master's will.

As for what color chaos itself was—

Xiao Chen did not know either.

As for the fire and wood attributes, Xiao Chen had gained all attributes due to possessing the Chaos Bloodline.

With all these conditions met, Xiao Chen began refining pills.

Meanwhile, in a quiet room elsewhere.

Xiao Yan looked at the white flame in Yao Lao's hand and could not help but speculate about his teacher's origins. At the same time, he observed his teacher's alchemy techniques.

As time passed and the white flame in Yao Lao's palm gradually dissipated, a drop of jade-colored liquid could be seen floating above his hand.

"Teacher, is this the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?"

Xiao Yan looked at the liquid in Yao Lao's palm and asked.

Yao Lao nodded. Then, with a flick of his finger, he shot the jade-colored liquid into a basin of clear water in the room.

The instant the jade-colored liquid fell into the clear water, the water in the basin immediately turned green.

"From now on, cultivate in here. With your cultivation talent, reaching the seventh stage within a year will not be difficult." Yao Lao clapped his hands and smiled.

Xiao Yan nodded, removed his clothes, then sat cross-legged inside the wooden tub of green liquid. At the same time, he formed a Cultivation Hand Seal before him.

As cultivation continued, the green liquid in the wooden tub gradually released faint streams of air. The streams carried a slight green tint as they slowly rose, before finally entering Xiao Yan's body with his breathing.
