Yun Ye had drawn up a detailed plan based on the fundamentals of pill refining.
Pill refining only used the fire-refining method.
Its core was to use flames to fuse various forms of spirituality into a unified whole—the "spirit pill."
In other words, the stability of the flames was crucial, as was the effect they produced.
Every pill-refining flame had a specially matched fire method. Not just any flame would do.
Even when Yun Ye used the Undying Flame, he operated it according to the structure of pill refining, forming the Pure Yang Flame Refining Furnace rather than directly using the Undying Flame.
The key lay in the spirit patterns.
Fire Spirit Power was merely the foundational force. Traits like the Undying Flame were manifestations of changes in its inherent nature.
True acquired changes came from spirit patterns—from methods!
Or, more precisely, Law-Grade spirit arts.
Methods constructed energy meridians within the body and altered the structure of Fire Spirit Power, granting the flames additional acquired strength.
For example, the Samadhi True Fire.
And the source of all these effects was the spirit patterns.
Various spirit patterns allowed cultivators to use all kinds of spirit arts even without the corresponding spiritual roots.
Pill refining, meanwhile, used spirit patterns to construct spirit fire suited for refining pills.
Even without mastering the Unique Undying Flame, one could approach its effects through incredibly complex spirit patterns.
Likewise, all kinds of advanced spirit arts could achieve the effects of Ultimate Spirituality, or even surpass them completely.
Spirit patterns and spirituality were the true Great Dao of this world.
Yun Ye was walking the path of spirituality.
The cultivation lineages, meanwhile, walked the path of spirit patterns and had developed it to its utmost limits.
Arts, methods, scriptures, classics—the fire method of White Stone Town already
