Beast Flame as an Ingredient? News of the Yin-Yang Dual Flame

The value of Eighth-Rank Beast Flame is self-evident.

The amplification effect of Eighth-Rank Beast Flame used for alchemy is in no way inferior to that of low-order Heavenly Flames.

Even if it's just used for absorption, the energy of Eighth-Rank Beast Flame is extremely powerful, saving a lot of time spent on arduous cultivation.

Xiao Yan put away the Storage Ring, remembering what Shi Tian had said, "If you feel it's not enough, I will make you another one later." Putting aside his pride, he said directly, "Sect Leader Shi, this apology is indeed a bit lacking. The contents inside are nothing to me."

Shi Tian nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, Master Yan Xiao, please rest assured, we will definitely prepare another apology gift for you later. Please forgive us."

Xiao Yan felt no guilt whatsoever and simply gave a nonchalant "hmm."

After thinking for a moment, he said to Shi Tian, "Sect Master Lion, Elder Xiao Ding, who is in charge of diplomacy for our Tian Shu Alliance, has some business to attend to and will most likely not return for two or three days. Until then, Sect Master Lion, why don't you stay in Yan City?"

"After Elder Xiao Ding returns, we will discuss the details of the cooperation with Sect Master Lion."

Shi Tian had no problem with it. He was even a little happy, thinking that he might be able to get closer to Xiao Yan in the next few days.

After some discussion, Hai Bodong led Shi Tian to find a place to stay.

Xiao Yan returned to the Small Courtyard and fell into deep thought.

"My cultivation is currently at the Nine-Star Dou Zong. Breaking through to Dou Venerate will not be easier than breaking through to the Eighth Rank of physical cultivation. In other words, I will need at least one Tier 8 Medicinal Pill."

"Not all the high-grade Medicinal Herbs were used to refine the Blood-Melting Body-Tempering Pill, but the remaining Medicinal Herbs are not enough to refine an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, and the pill formula is also a problem."

"Pills that enhance cultivation cannot be as potent as those that enhance physical strength; they must be refined meticulously, otherwise the fragile meridians will not be as resilient as the physique."

Xiao Yan rubbed his temples in frustration. "Tsk, if only pills were as easy to absorb as Beast Flame."

Just as Xiao Yan was troubled, Yao Lao's Soul Body floated out from within the Bone Flame Ring.

"Yan'er, since that's the case, why don't you use Beast Flame to refine a fire pill?"

Xiao Yan:?

"Teacher, please don't joke like that now. How can Beast Flame be used to refine pills? I'm just a little annoyed, I won't be so stubborn." Xiao Yan shook his head, subconsciously thinking that Yao Lao, this old rascal, was joking again, just trying to cheer him up.

Faced with Xiao Yan's disbelief, Yao Lao smiled slightly and asked in return, "Yan'er, what is the essence of alchemy?"

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan replied, "Through refining, the effects of the Medicinal Herbs can be fully activated."

"What's more fundamental?"

"Use flames to extract the energy from the Medicinal Herbs and condense it into a pill."

"Yes, that's the essence of alchemy. No matter how sophisticated the outside world says alchemy is, its essence is extracting energy and condensing it into pills." The Yao Lao master nodded, then asked again:

"Then, Yan'er, how is the energy of the Beast Flame?"

"Of course, that's excellent..." At this point, Xiao Yan's voice paused, as if he suddenly understood what Yao Lao meant, and his eyes lit up. "Although Beast Flame is flame, for me, it is essentially a kind of energy that I can absorb."

"If we understand Beast Flame as Magic Core, then using Beast Flame medicine seems quite feasible!"

The Yao Lao had a look on his face that said, "This child is teachable."

Using Beast Flame as Medicinal Herbs for alchemy is a very counterintuitive and... insane idea.

Beast Flame, a special type of flame, is inherently violent. For example, the Beast Flame of the Amethyst Winged Lion King would only result in an ordinary person exploding and dying if they obtained it without the help of a powerful figure to suppress it.

This shows how violent Beast Flame is. Although it is not as powerful as Heavenly Flames, it is impossible for it to be used as an energy source for refining medicine. Otherwise, if a pill were actually refined, no one would be able to withstand its violent medicinal power.

But by sheer coincidence, Xiao Yan was the exception.

He usually absorbs the energy from the Beast Flame to improve his cultivation; the Beast Flame's ferocity is practically non-existent to him.

Therefore, while others cannot consume the pills refined by this Beast Flame, he can.

Since it can be consumed, then Beast Flame medicine is not a waste; it's definitely worth a try.

Using Beast Flame as an energy source, and with the assistance of various Medicinal Herbs, the energy of the Beast Flame can be further stimulated, making it entirely possible to refine a pill specifically for him to improve his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao, "Teacher, I only have one Eighth-Rank Beast Flame right now, which is not enough to refine Tier 8 Medicinal Pill."

I can have the Shi Jing replace all the congratulatory and apology gifts with Beast Flame, but that will take some time. Let's work out an effective prescription in the next couple of days."

The Yao Lao nodded and smiled, "Yan'er, you can leave this to your teacher. Your special physique makes it extremely efficient to absorb fire-attribute Medicinal Herbs, and you don't have to worry about backlash or safety. This will make creating the prescription much easier."

Xiao Yan cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, teacher."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

These past two days, Shi Tian and some of the elders from the Lion Underworld Sect he brought stayed in Yan City. Under the reception of Hai Bodong, they visited the Vientiane Auction House.

As the sect leader of the Lion Underworld Sect, Shi Tian Heaven's reputation was extremely high throughout the Northwest Continent. His face was etched in the minds of most people, and he was considered a top expert who should never be provoked.

His appearance in Yan City and his reception by Hai Bodong were tantamount to sending a signal to the entire Black-Corner Region and the Northwest Continent.

The Lion Underworld Sect will not pursue the matter of Elder Shi Jing being killed in the street by Yan Xiao.

There are even rumors that the Lion Underworld Sect and the Tian Shu Alliance have reached a cooperative relationship.

The entire Northwest Continent was shaken.

Their own elder was killed in the street, and they still eagerly reached a cooperation agreement with the other party?

Most people don't understand why the Lion Underworld Sect is so humble.

However, some powerful individuals who had witnessed the descent of the Five-Colored Pill Lightning God had a vague idea of what was going on.

Five-Colored Pill Lightning and Tier 8 Medicinal Pill mean that there is an Eighth-Rank Alchemist in Yan City.

The fact that the Lion Underworld Sect has so readily agreed to cooperate with the Tian Shu Alliance, setting aside past grievances, is most likely related to this Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

Could that Eighth-Rank Alchemist be from the Tian Shu Alliance?

Some major powers have realized this.

In Yan City, some unfamiliar faces gradually appeared.

In the center of Yan City, in Small Courtyard.

Xiao Yan sat on a stone bench, while Xiao Ding sat on another stone bench beside him, reporting earnestly, "Third brother, I secretly investigated the situation of our Xiao Clan members at the Jia Nan Academy these past two days. No one showed any sudden increase in cultivation or Heaven-Swallowing Talent; they are all as usual."

"None of them?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Ding nodded firmly. "Yes, none of them."

I suspect that the changes you brought about, Third Brother, are...

Either there were distance restrictions, or it only affected me and your second brother, who were in Yan City at the time.

Either it's through the proximity of blood ties, in which case, besides me and your second brother, your father would definitely be affected as well.

As for which one it is, we'll have to wait for Xiao Li to return and tell us the situation.

Xiao Yan nodded, unable to help but admire his elder brother.

With just this little bit of information, he was able to deduce the truth in a fairly accurate way. If this intelligence were converted into cultivation Heaven-Swallowing Talent, he would be considered Dou Sheng level cultivator in the Dou Qi Continent, a world where everyone is a brute.

"By the way, Third Brother, the spies we sent to investigate the Yin-Yang Dual Flame have returned with concrete information," Xiao Ding suddenly said.

"Definite information? Could it be that there really is Yin-Yang Dual Flame there?" A look of joy flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

Xiao Ding nodded. "Yes, according to the scouts, there is indeed the Yin-Yang Dual Flame located at that spot marked on the map; he even saw it with his own eyes."

Xiao Yan asked excitedly, "Really?"

"Really!" Xiao Ding hesitated for a moment, "But according to the scouts, the Yin-Yang Dual Flame seem to be in a Secret Realm, and I have a bad feeling about it."
