Crimson Fire Immortal Art

"Ouch, don't break it so hard!"

The Medicine Spirit begged for mercy repeatedly, writhing inside the elixir.

"I believe that even if you don't say anything, after consuming you, I believe that with the vitality within your body, you can sustain yourself for a period of time."

Seeing that Medicine Spirit was stalling for time, Ning Qi raised his arm.

I was about to swallow it.

"I said, don't be in such a hurry. He just woke up; he needs time to calm down."

Medicine Spirit quickly explained, pleading repeatedly, "Big brother, please have mercy!"

"Then tell me!"

Ning Qi stopped and threatened, "If you dare to stall me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Open the Pill Furnace beneath you!"

"There is a thousand-year-old red lotus inside; eating it can not only neutralize this deadly poison."

"From now on, any poison that could threaten the power of an immortal will be ineffective against you."

The Medicine Spirit pointed to the Pill Furnace in front of Ning Qi with its little finger and said something.

"Okay, let me see how it goes!"

Ning Qi controlled the Medicine Spirit and then went to the Pill Furnace.

He took out the Chaos Sword and thrust it at the bottom.

"When!"

After a dull metallic clang, the bottom of the Pill Furnace shook as Ning Qi poked it.

Immediately following this, a Restriction began to swirl around the bottom.

Ning Qi glanced at it and then casually broke the Restriction.

In his eyes, this was nothing to mention.

After breaking the Restriction, Ning Qi opened the bottom.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a blinding red light flashed out.

He grabbed it.

I saw the red lotus in my hand; it was still warm to the touch, but the powerful aura of flames emanating from it was extremely intense.

If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been severely affected by the backlash.

He held the red lotus in his hand and examined it carefully.

This crimson lotus, though entirely red, still exudes a powerful Life Essence even after countless years.

Its body was still shimmering with red light, and the core of its flower stamen was still throbbing.

With each pulsation, a burst of flames erupts.

"It really is good stuff."

Ning Qi looked at the crimson lotus in his hand, his spirits lifting. He turned to the Medicine Spirit he had bound and asked, "Tell me, how do I refine this thing?"

Now, what he needs is a way to refine the Crimson Lotus.

This thing is an High Antiquity red lotus, hidden here for so long, yet it still possesses such formidable scorching power.

It also possesses immense vitality; refining it is certainly not a simple matter.

Therefore, asking for clarification is the best course of action.

"Just refine it normally Cultivation Method!"

"There's nothing special about it, just don't rush, lest Qi Deviation."

Medicine Spirit responded quickly after hearing Ning Qi's question.

They were afraid that if they were a step too slow, Ning Qi would deal with them again.

Although he said that, Ning Qi didn't believe him.

A pair of eyes scrutinized Medicine Spirit, beginning to consider whether his words were true or false.

The Medicine Spirit, the Pill Furnace, and the red lotus were all placed together.

Previously, in order to mislead people, the owner of this Pill Furnace had deliberately sealed the Medicine Spirit inside.

In other words, this Pill Furnace was separated into at least three layers, inside and out.

There were even a few discarded pills placed on it to deceive people.

All of this points to one thing.

This Medicine Spirit is just as important as the red lotus; no one can replace their position.

That's why the owner of the Pill Furnace went to great lengths to hide them all.

Even this Pill Furnace looks so unremarkable.

Furthermore, Ning Qi suddenly thought of a question: Restriction happened when the seal was broken that day?

The entire alchemy palace was shrouded in auspicious clouds, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground.

These extraordinary celestial phenomena were meant to indicate the emergence of supreme treasures, but after searching thoroughly, they found nothing.

In the end, they found nothing.

Ning Qi looked at the Medicine Spirit in front of him and vaguely realized something.

That extraordinary phenomenon in the heavens and earth might just be the Medicine Spirit, or more precisely, something inside the Pill Furnace.

Crimson lotus, Medicine Spirit, and the elixir that nurtured the Medicine Spirit.

They are indispensable; only when they combine can they cause extraordinary events in the heavens and earth.

Ning Qi thought to himself, and gradually his eyes lit up.

This made Medicine Spirit's heart pound with fear, and she quickly said, "I really didn't lie to you, I swear to God."

"Little guy, if you lied like that to anyone else, I wouldn't bother with you."

"But do you know how many lifetimes I've lived?"

"Ten times? Fifty times? One hundred times? I can't even remember!"

Ning Qi looked coldly at Medicine Spirit and said with a smile, "You think you can outmaneuver me?"

"Brother, I really didn't mean to lie to you, everything I said is true!"

Medicine Spirit panicked and quickly explained, "You can try it if you don't believe me!"

"Also, I'll tell you something else: I can also refine pills!"

Ning Qi smiled, opened his Storage Bag, and took out Spirit Stone and spirit wood. "I'll refine you and the Crimson Lotus now."

"I'd like to see what happens when you merge with the Crimson Lotus!"

"Big brother, no! If you do that, I'll cease to exist!"

When Medicine Spirit heard Ning Qi say this, she panicked.

He immediately began to beg for mercy.

"Even after all this, you still won't tell me the truth. Then prepare to be refined by me!"

Ning Qi ignored him and threw both the Crimson Lotus and the Medicine Spirit into the Pill Furnace.

"Brother, I'm telling you, can you spare my life?!"

Seeing that everyone was being thrown in, Medicine Spirit quickly told the truth.

They were terrified that if they were even a step too slow, Ning Qi would refine them directly.

"Then tell me."

As Ning Qi spoke, he began to activate his Immortal-Demon Power, igniting the spirit wood.

The temperature of the Pill Furnace immediately began to rise.

"The Crimson Lotus requires the assistance of this elixir to be refined."

"But then I would cease to exist."

"If you can help me find a spiritual pill to possess, so I can have a place to reside, then I will cooperate with you in refining it."

"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to die with you."

Medicine Spirit told Ning Qi the whole story in one breath.

After hearing his words, Ning Qi finally understood why he had lied to him.

It turns out that the elixir he possessed was needed to assist him.

"However, now that you're out, will the Spiritual Qi and life force within this elixir still exist?"

This is what Ning Qi is concerned about: what if he is released?

Does this elixir still have any effect?

Obviously not.

"I don't care where you go, I'll give you everything, just spare my life."

"With the right elixir in the future, I can recover!"

In order to survive, Medicine Spirit dared not ask for anything more.

He understood the principle that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

"Oh? In that case, I do have an elixir for you to parasitize."

Ning Qi also possessed some elixirs, which he obtained when he first entered the Alchemy Palace.

As he spoke, he opened his Storage Bag and took out a magic pill.

Although the quality is much worse than what Medicine Spirit came from, it's enough for Medicine Spirit.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Medicine Spirit looked at the elixir in Ning Qi's hand and immediately revealed a happy expression.

He could clearly see that although the elixir was of poor quality, it still contained a considerable amount of Spiritual Qi and vitality.

After he went inside, although he wasn't as powerful as he was inside the elixir, the difference was minimal.

"Then get out!"

Seeing his happy expression, Ning Qi smiled and said, "I'm going to start refining now."

"Okay!"

After Medicine Spirit readily agreed, her chubby body wiggled and twisted.

It quickly emerged from the elixir, then in a flash, it disappeared directly into Ning Qi's elixir.

"Call!"

After a Medicine Spirit entered the elixir, its dull appearance immediately changed.

It became incredibly lustrous, and the medicinal power within began to take effect, with a surge of powerful Life Essence emanating from it.

It's clear that the Medicine Spirit played a role in it.

The elixir he had just been in was much weaker than the one he had been in.

However, Ning Qi could clearly sense that the vitality and medicinal power within had not diminished much.

That is, the Medicine Spirit did not lie to him.

Okay! What's the next step?

Ning Qi sat cross-legged, gathering the Crimson Lotus and the Immortal Pill in front of him, and then asked the Medicine Spirit for the next move.

"Red Fire Immortal Art!"

"This requires the Red Fire Immortal Art to refine!"

Medicine Spirit glanced at Ning Qi and grinned.

"You brat, you deserve to die!"

"How dare you play me!"

Ning Qi was furious upon hearing his words.

He grabbed the elixir and was about to crush it.

"Hey, brother, look!"

"The secret formula is right there in the Pill Furnace, I'm not lying to you!"

Medicine Spirit, sweating profusely from being caught, quickly pointed her little hand at the Pill Furnace and said, "It's all written here, take a good look!"

"If I could understand it, would you even need to tell me?"

Ning Qi glared at Medicine Spirit, then said, "Tell me, how do you decipher the Inscriptions on this Red Fire Immortal Art!"

This is what he needs to understand; otherwise, what use is having immortal techniques alone?

"Big brother, it's very simple, I'll teach you!"

Medicine Spirit then realized that Ning Qi didn't recognize the Inscriptions, and immediately felt relieved.

I initially thought Ning Qi was deliberately trying to betray me and refine me.

"Alright! Let's begin!"

Ning Qi sat up straight again, then said to Medicine Spirit, "Read it to me, one sentence at a time!"

"Okay!"

After Medicine Spirit agreed, she went straight to the Pill Furnace and began to silently recite the Inscriptions on it to Ning Qi.

"Call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath, preparing himself to cultivate the mental technique.

"Guide Qi into the body!"

"Brother, be careful, this is drawing upon the energy of the Crimson Lotus!"

As Medicine Spirit explained, she also gave Ning Qi some reminders.

"Good!"

Ning Qi nodded, then formed hand Hand Seals and began circulating his Immortal-Demon Power, opening up the burning sensation within the crimson lotus.

It was received into his palm and then began to flow into him.

"Gather your energy in your Dantian, visualize..."

Then Medicine Spirit began to teach Ning Qi the cultivation method step by step.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi also began to cultivate seriously.

At first, the burning sensation of the red lotus was somewhat unbearable for him.

The seemingly gentle heat wave began to wreak havoc once it entered his body.

Especially when it reached his Dantian, it was like a flood bursting its banks.

It began to relentlessly attack his body, churning, destroying, and healing.

In this way, the deadly poison in his body also began to be drawn in.

Together they were ravaging his body.

This caused large areas of his flesh to burn, ulcerate, and peel off.

Some were burned by the deadly poison, while others were burned by the Blazing Flame of the Crimson Lotus.

This pain has been ongoing, and it is a hundred times more painful than when I was cultivating and comprehending the If Water Three Thousand.

The If Water Three Thousand only relentlessly ravaged his body and Divine Soul.

But this was still burning his body, and after the poison took effect, it made him feel as if he were being bitten by thousands of insects.

Inch by inch, strand by strand.

As if he wouldn't stop until he was completely devoured, Ning Qi felt as if his body no longer belonged to him.

The excruciating pain made his whole body tremble; his bones felt eroded and crumbled.

However, he did not give up and continued to persevere.

Continue breathing exercises and practice the Red Fire Immortal Art.

"The second stage: the flames of war spreading across the plains."

"The third level, Blazing Flame that scorch the heavens."

"..."

The Medicine Spirit continued to silently recite the immortal incantation to Ning Qi.

He also started to take it seriously.

At this moment, he saw all of Ning Qi's changes.

Ning Qi's perseverance still paid off.

Time thus began to flow slowly.

Ning Qi persisted.

They also have no understanding of the situation outside.

The Meteorite Region is located at the junction of the Boundary Sea and Gray Fog regions, about a hundred miles away from his location.

Several Flying Vessel were anchored here; it was the group of people who had been chasing him.

At this moment, Dao Bu Jin still arrived.

After dispelling Ning Qi's Boundless Evil Qi, he rushed over without stopping.

I've also heard that Ning Qi is trapped in the Blackwater area.

"Palace Master, should we... go in and check the situation?"

One of the guards looked at the area ahead and couldn't help but ask.

Dao Bu Jin did not respond to his question, but instead frowned and stared intently at the black water area ahead.

"It's been three days. If he doesn't come out, he should have been killed by the Twisted Monsters by now, right?"

One of them glanced ahead and spoke without further ado.

"Not necessarily. This guy is cunning; he might be hiding inside!"

The other person shook his head, not believing that Ning Qi had met with misfortune.

"Palace Master..."

The man glanced at Ning Qi, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Because he had already seen the Dao Bu Jin taken.

He stood firmly on the deck, gazing at the blackwater area ahead.

"I have a feeling this guy's alright."

"Given his character, if something were really wrong, he would have already made a scene!"

Dao Bu Jin a long pause, he finally said, "How are the men sent out to Patrol both sides doing? Ask them if they've found anything."

"Yes!"

"..."

The group agreed and then hurriedly left.

For a moment, Dao Bu Jin left to say about this place.

He continued to gaze at the blackwater area ahead, muttering to himself, "I hope you're alright. Our battle isn't over yet."

"However, having been poisoned by my divine poison, you won't live much longer either."

"In your next life, don't be so arrogant, or you'll waste all your cultivation."
