Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

"Uh..." Qin Yi stared at the raging fire inside, completely bewildered. "How am I supposed to use this fire?"

"Everyone can cultivate various types of Technique Method, such as summoning fire and lightning, just like the Lightning Guiding Art you've already used," Liusu explained. "But such fire is still just ordinary fire. No matter how high your cultivation level or how good your Method Formula are, it only makes the fire stronger, without any special effects, and it's easy to break."

Qin Yi instantly understood. "So you're going to create a special kind of fire source, so that the effects of Law Technique cast using the same Method Formula will be different from others?"

"That's right. For example, the tribulation fire of heavenly tribulation burns directly to the soul and is unstoppable. If you have the fortuitous opportunity to refine such a fire seed, you can also release tribulation fire, but the hope is slim, and even if you encounter it with your current cultivation level, you wouldn't be able to refine it."

Qin Yi's first reaction was worry. "That Ye Ling's fire must be very special, right? Won't it attract unwanted attention?"

Liusu said nonchalantly, "That's because the Soaring Serpent bloodline has an innate talent that prevents it from refining a fire seed, rendering it useless to others. Unless other snakes set their sights on its bloodline, it has nothing to do with whether it's a fire or not, but rather a bloodline struggle within the demon realm, which a high-level bloodline inheritor will have to face sooner or later."

"Hmm..." Qin Yi was still somewhat worried. The bloodline battle—would that idiot Ye Ling be up to the task...?

Liusu said, "Are you worried about whether your son will still have the bloodline of the Soaring Serpent to inherit in the future?"

Qin Yi: "!!!"

The Wolf Tooth Club fell silent. Qin Yi thought that if it had eyes, they would probably be looking at him with disdain.

"That's not what I meant by Ye Ling!"

"Who knows?" Liusu said disdainfully.

"You filthy Korean... I can't reason with you." Qin Yi awkwardly changed the subject. "Then what kind of fire is this kind of Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire?"

"Tch." Liusu, unimpressed by the diversion, said, "In terms of firepower against enemies, it's about the same as ordinary fire, but it has some special uses in refining items, especially meaningful for your alchemy. Moreover, this is a well-refined fire seed, which is exactly what your current cultivation level can attempt to digest."

"Using fire for auxiliary purposes..." Qin Yi didn't discriminate against auxiliary items at all; he knew that in many situations, these kinds of things were more valuable than simply having greater power. "This Witcher is pretty poor in other aspects, how come he has such valuable items?"

"This type of fire seed is of a lower grade and can be cultivated. It's not that valuable, but it's still quite rare," Liusu said leisurely. "When you can see the innate fire that cannot be cultivated, such as the Chaos Fire, the Purgatory Fire, or the Samadhi Fire, then it will be truly valuable, and you won't find it anywhere in the world."

Qin Yi shook his head. He never fantasized about such a far-fetched thing. However, he was very interested in collecting this special fire seed. It reminded him of the fun of collecting special items when playing games.

"How do I refine this?"

"I will pass on to you a Reverse Fire Art... In the future, when there are other fire sources, follow this method."

Qin Yi had no idea how much Liusu knew. Apart from not knowing different systems of demonic and witchcraft, he knew that Liusu could not do divination, but she was practically omnipotent in other matters related to Daoist Arts.

This is even more impressive than some predecessors who traveled through time with their computers and Baidu.

The raging fire in the room slowly shrank under the Method Formula, becoming a tiny flame the size of a matchstick. Qin Yi reached out and the flame jumped into his palm, swaying back and forth like a dance.

"I taught you the Lightning Incantation before because it was most effective against vultures back then. Now that we have the Fire Seed, you should focus on Fire Element Law Technique now on," Liusu said. "These days, things have been piling up one after another, and you've been running around in a hurry. What you've learned is just a miscellaneous bunch to deal with things. Now that this is over, you should focus on An'an cultivation in peace."

Qin Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, watching the flames slowly seep into his body, and whispered, "I just hope the trip to the Demon City will go smoothly..."

Liusu didn't say anything, which meant she didn't think it was a good idea at all.

Qin Yi sighed, composed himself, and guided the flame upwards, entering the Ming Tang between his eyebrows.

There was no sound outside, but Qin Yi seemed to hear a loud "boom" as a cluster of flames rose in the Ming Tang, drifting leisurely.

"It's done?" Qin Yi asked in a strange tone.

"It's done." Liusu's tone was even stranger.

"Your Method Formula is amazing."

"..." The Wolf Tooth Club swung around, as if it wanted to hit someone.

It's true that this Method Formula is superior to similar Method Formula... But when Liusu recalled how she used to absorb and refine various fire seeds and lightning bolts, it never took less than half an hour, which was already considered genius.

Absorb it so casually, and that fire will burn you to death. There's no such thing as being so compliant. That's fire, do you think it's your own maid?

If this person wasn't Qin Yi, Liusu would have really wanted to kill him.

"Go refine pills," Liusu said listlessly, sounding utterly despondent.

Alchemy was proving troublesome because the herbs stored by the Witcher were unsuitable; the materials needed for witchcraft differed significantly from those needed for Daoist arts. When Qin Yi arrived at the herb room, he was utterly speechless at the dazzling array of toads, swamp mud, human skin, and dominoes.

After much searching, they finally managed to gather some ingredients to refine a seventh-grade pill called "Nurturing Yuan Pill," which could rapidly enhance Qin Yi's Qi cultivation; and a "Blood Cleansing Pill," which could help Ye Ling eliminate some impurities that disrupted her blood flow and help her harmonize her bloodline.

Neither of them are of high quality, which is a waste of the Blood Lotus's inherent class, but they are the most suitable for the current situation.

As for the soul-nourishing medicine that I originally wanted to give to Liusu, there was no way to make it happen.

"It's alright," Liusu said, taking it easy. "This blood lotus has five petals. You only need half a petal to refine two batches of these two kinds of pills, which is just enough for your trip to the Demon City. We'll find the rest in the Demon City; there must be plenty of good stuff there."

Qin Yi took the Witcher's Pill Furnace and began preparing medicine, asking as he did so, "Bangbang, besides continuing to nourish your soul, how do you plan to restore your body?"

"It's too early to talk about these things. At least until I can temporarily separate my soul from my body and exist independently of the rod, I can consider rebuilding my body."

When the soul leaves the body, in conventional cultivation terms, that's called the Yang spirit leaving the body. Theoretically, if one can reach the point where the Yang spirit can remain outside the body for an extended period, it's not unreasonable to say that one has already achieved immortality, because the physical body is no longer important. The Yang spirit can reside in any body at will and can cycle endlessly, which is true immortality.

This is a realm that over 99% of cultivators in the world dream of; for Liusu, it's merely a restoration.

Qin Yi knew that it would take him countless years to reach this level of cultivation. The most troublesome thing was that these soul-refining and spirit-refining medicines were all rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, ten thousand times rarer and ten thousand times more precious than the medicines he needed for Qi cultivation.

The Lingering Soul Grass found by Dong Huazi was of very low quality, and Dong Huazi didn't know its value and didn't keep it properly.

There was no Witcher at all.

With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to even get one.

Qin Yi didn't learn Daoist Daoist Arts for immortality. It was out of interest; nobody is uninterested in cultivating immortality and wouldn't want to try it. It wasn't because he wanted to be incredibly powerful, or to dominate the world and rule for eternity...

Now he felt that, even just for Liusu's sake, he had to make great strides in his cultivation and get everything Liusu needed.

Although Liusu Su didn't say it, Qin Yi understood perfectly well that no one would want to stay in the dark and Wolf Tooth Club, silently watching the outside world.

He would go crazy just thinking about those days, while Liusu had lived through countless millennia.

The thought flashed through his mind, but his hands didn't stop. He prepared the medicinal herbs, Qin Yi focused his mind, pointed his finger, and the pill fire rose.

"Huh..." Looking at the fire in the furnace, Qin Yi finally understood why Liusu had said that the Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire was very special.

It is very stable.

The temperature of fire varies depending on its location. Even fire created through Technique Method is unstable and difficult to control. For alchemists, regulating the flame is a skill that requires long-term mastery; a slight mistake can ruin the elixir.

However, this fire maintains the same temperature regardless of location. When you need to adjust the temperature or concentrate the flames in a specific area, you only need to control your Law Power, making things infinitely easier.

Aside from its lack of power, this is indeed the kind of fire that alchemists dream of.

Qin Yi's success rate in refining ordinary pills was already over 90%, and even with ninth-grade Antitoxin Pill, he had a success rate of 70% to 80%. However, he had never refined seventh-grade pills before, so the success rate was probably not very high; 50% would be considered good.

However, if he could use this kind of fire, Qin Yi was confident that he could increase the success rate of refining seventh-grade pills to 80%!
