Refinement

"Elder Hai!"

"Elder Hai!"

As the two greetings rang out, Elder Hai, who had been engrossed in drawing a map, looked up at the returning two and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Then, Elder Hai asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Sigh! Don't even mention it. The biggest gain, the Heavenly Flames, was taken by Queen Medusa. Xiao Ming only got some byproducts of the Heavenly Flames this time, so I can only say it was a slight gain!" Lin Ming replied helplessly to Elder Hai's question.

Upon hearing Lin Ming mention the existence of Heavenly Flames, Elder Hai was also taken aback. Heavenly Flames were extremely rare. Although Elder Hai had drawn a map suggesting that a place with Heavenly Flames might exist in the Tagor Desert, this was merely speculation.

But now that it had actually appeared, Elder Hai was taken aback and asked, "Is... is there really Heavenly Flames?"

"Yes! The Heavenly Flames in the Tagor Desert is the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. After Xiao Ming went to the birthplace of the Heavenly Flames, he found no trace of Heavenly Flames except for the accompanying creatures." After recounting the information about the Green Lotus Core Flame, Lin Ming took out the Seven-Colored Scale from his Storage Ring and continued, "Later, Xiao Ming found this seven-colored Snake Scale next to the accompanying creatures of the Heavenly Flames. In the entire Tagor Desert, only Queen Medusa possesses Seven-Colored Snake Scale. Therefore, the Green Lotus Core Flame has fallen into Queen Medusa's hands!"

"Alas! It's all fate. Since Queen Medusa has obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, let's just pretend it never happened! Of course, Lin Ming, once your strength surpasses Queen Medusa's, you can go and find her to seize the Green Lotus Core Flame. For now, just relax and focus on your cultivation." After learning that Queen Medusa had obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, Elder Hai sighed and then comforted Lin Ming.

"Elder Hai, Xiao Ming fine here, but for you, without the Heavenly Flames, there's no way to Pill Refining to remove the Cultivation Seal your cultivation," Lin Ming said in response to Elder Hai's words of comfort.

"After so many years, I've gotten used to it. So, Lin Ming, if you truly care about me, then focus on improving your strength and leading the family to glory. That way, after I pass away, I'll have the face to meet our Ancestors and brothers." Elder Hai immediately replied to Lin Ming.

Queen Medusa obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, but in the original story, Elder Hai's cultivation was also unsealed. Therefore, Lin Ming immediately said, "Elder Hai, Xiao Ming will definitely unseal your cultivation. You also need to contribute to leading the family to glory, so you must have hope."

"Haha, I've never doubted that," Elder Hai said with a hearty laugh.

At night, Lin Ming sat cross-legged on the bed, playing with a Jade Bottle in his hand. Lin Ming tilted the mouth of the Jade Bottle downwards, and a green Lotus Seed rolled out of the Jade Bottle and into Lin Ming's hand.

"Let me see how much you can make the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire grow into Heavenly Flames!" Looking at the Earth Fire Lotus Seed in his hand, Lin Ming said to it before immediately throwing it into his mouth.

As soon as the Earth Fire Lotus Seed entered his stomach, the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, sensing the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, seemed to smell the most delicious thing. Before the Earth Fire Lotus Seed even had a chance to release its energy in Lin Ming's body, it was swallowed whole by the small snake that the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire had transformed into.

After swallowing the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, the small snake formed from the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire seemed to have eaten its fill. It burped and then returned to Lin Ming's dantian, where it fell into a deep sleep.

As the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire began refining the Earth Fire Lotus Seed and fell into slumber, streams of pure energy instantly emanated from its body and converged towards Lin Ming's Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire.

Feeling the pure energy fed back by the Flaming Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, Lin Ming was immediately delighted. He then circulated his Cultivation Method to absorb all of this energy and enhance his cultivation level.

It took five days for the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire to completely refine the Earth Fire Lotus Seed.

"Haha." After refining an Earth Fire Lotus Seed, Lin Ming's cultivation level, which had just advanced to the Dou Wang, was stabilized at the One-Star Dou King. It also advanced the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire about five percent towards evolving into Heavenly Flames. As a result, Lin Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter after sensing the changes in his cultivation level and the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire.

The amount of Dou Qi required to Dou Qi from breaking through to Dou Wang and stabilizing to One-Star Dou King level is not as much as the Dou Qi required to advance to a one-star level, but it is still almost half the Dou Qi of Dou Qi required to advance to a one-star level.

By refining a single Earth Fire Lotus Seed, Lin Ming learned that a single Earth Fire Lotus Seed could increase his cultivation level by half a star. Lin Ming had a total of eleven such Earth Fire Lotus Seed; even if he refined one now, he would still have ten left over.

Once I refine the remaining ten Earth Fire Lotus Seed, what realm will I reach? Even though the amount of Battle Dou Qi required to advance one star increases as Dou Wang progresses, refining these ten Earth Fire Lotus Seed will definitely allow me to advance three or four stars in cultivation.

Moreover, refining the Earth Fire Lotus Seed isn't just about increasing cultivation level; more importantly, it's about transforming the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire into Heavenly Flames. Once all the Earth Fire Lotus Seed have been refined, the special Flame Berserk Factor carried by the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire will reach at least 70% of the standard for Heavenly Flames.

Once the special Flame Berserk Factor reaches one hundred, it can become Heavenly Flames. Judging from the current situation, after these ten Earth Fire Lotus Seed are refined, the special Flame Berserk Factor carried by the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire will reach at least seventy.

Don't forget, besides the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, Lin Ming also has a Lotus Pedestal that nurtures the Green Lotus Core Flame. Later, he will have the Green Lotus Core Flame Lotus Pedestal refined by the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire Core Flame. At that time, the special Flame Berserk Factor in the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire will probably reach eighty or even ninety.

With a special Flame Berserk Factor reaching 80 or 90, although it still doesn't reach the level of a Heavenly Flames, it is extremely close to it.

Once the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire reaches this level, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the number one flame below Heavenly Flames. If we then find some byproducts of Heavenly Flames to refine the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire, it might truly be possible to cultivate it into Heavenly Flames.

After all, only the twenty-three different kinds of Heavenly Flame Ranking Heavenly Flames have been passed down from ancient times to the present. If he could cultivate a different kind of Heavenly Flames, then Lin Ming would be able to rewrite the Heavenly Flame Ranking and increase the number from twenty-three to twenty-four.

The thought of personally cultivating a Heavenly Flames and changing the entire Dou Qi Continent's perception of the Heavenly Flame Ranking instantly brightened Lin Ming's mood, and his laughter grew even louder.

"Elder Hai, has something happened to Brother Lin Ming and he's gone stupid? This laughter has been going on for so long and it hasn't stopped yet," Qing Lin said to Elder Hai with a worried expression.

"Alas! If Lin Ming's laughter hasn't subsided by now, I'll go check on him!" Elder Hai sighed, sharing the same sentiment.
