Successful Nourishment, Devouring the Purple Fire!

At this moment, even Yao Lao could not help but feel a sense of pleasant surprise upon seeing the Purple Fire that Lin Yan had produced.

The reason he felt this way was not because of how noble this Purple Fire was.

It was because he saw hope for the evolution of the Burning Art!

Therefore, he could not help but ask Lin Yan, "Little friend, where did you obtain this?"

Lin Yan did not hide anything and answered directly, "I obtained this from the system."

Hearing this, Yao Lao felt a bit disappointed. "I see. I thought you had obtained it from this world."

But he quickly realized something else: if Lin Yan could obtain a Beast Fire from the system, did that not mean there was a possibility of obtaining a Heavenly Flame from the system in the future?

From this perspective, it seemed that the probability of Lin Yan obtaining a Heavenly Flame in the future had actually increased.

Thinking of this, Yao Lao swept away his previous disappointment and smiled at Lin Yan. "Then I must congratulate you, little friend."

"Since you can obtain a Beast Fire now, you may not be unable to obtain a Heavenly Flame in the future. As long as you can obtain a Heavenly Flame, the improvement for you, little friend, will be immense."

Lin Yan nodded at Yao Lao upon hearing this.

As for Yao Lao, who was standing to the side, he quickly asked Lin Yan, "By the way, little friend, how do you intend to deal with this Beast Fire?"

Lin Yan stated his plan directly to Yao Lao:

"Senior Yao Lao, I intend to use the Burning Art to devour this thing."

"Although it is only a Beast Fire, because the current level of the Burning Art is still very low, devouring it will still provide some degree of improvement, more or less."

"Moreover, the main point is that I do not yet possess a Heavenly Flame. So, compared to the Yuan Power fire created by my own soul power, this kind of Beast Fire is clearly more useful, whether it is for combat or for alchemy."

He explained his thoughts bit by bit. In reality, although this was Lin Yan's first time practicing the Burning Art, he was very clear about the upgrade route of the Burning Art because he had read Battle Through the Heavens, so he could design and arrange a suitable upgrade path for himself.

"Hmm, what you say makes a lot of sense, little friend."

"Doing it this way is indeed not bad."

Yao Lao nodded in agreement with Lin Yan upon hearing this.

He looked at the Beast Fire in Lin Yan's hand again and then said, "Since that is the case, let us begin preparing the steps before devouring the Beast Fire."

"Although it is not a Heavenly Flame, a Beast Fire is not something the human body can easily withstand, so to devour this kind of flame, you will also need medicinal pills to assist you."

"Furthermore, little friend, this Beast Fire of yours is still too weak."

"If you want to devour it to improve the Burning Art, it is best to refine it into a source flame first, continuously nourish it with the Yuan Power in your body, and wait until it has improved to a certain degree before using the Burning Art to devour it with the help of medicinal pills."

Yao Lao was, after all, Yao Lao. Once he heard that Lin Yan intended to devour the Beast Fire, he quickly customized a comprehensive plan for him.

He also gave the pill formula to Lin Yan. As long as Lin Yan brought the medicinal herbs later, Yao Lao could refine the pills directly. For now, the more important thing was the cultivation of the Beast Fire.

"Alright, I will do as Senior Yao Lao says."

Lin Yan nodded upon hearing this.

Yao Lao then tapped his finger on Lin Yan's forehead.

Feeling the massive amount of information surging into his mind, Lin Yan savored it for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

"First, open up a small space within your energy vortex that can accommodate the Purple Fire."

"Once the space is created, draw a wisp of flame from the Purple Fire and use your Yuan Power to wrap it and draw it inside."

"Finally, absorb it completely."

Yao Lao kept reminding Lin Yan from the side, and Lin Yan followed the steps that emerged in his mind as well as Yao Lao's reminders.

Soon, the refinement of the source flame was completed.

"It's done! This is now my fire."

Lin Yan opened his eyes again and manipulated it at will; the Purple Fire changed in his hand like a toy.

Now, Lin Yan could feel that this Purple Fire was connected to his bloodline, and as he manipulated the Purple Fire, he felt increasingly free to do as he pleased.

"Not bad."

Yao Lao nodded at Lin Yan with satisfaction upon seeing this.

But he quickly reminded him again:

"However, your Beast Fire is still weak and needs to be nourished with Yuan Power."

"Otherwise, it will not be enough for either combat or alchemy."

Lin Yan nodded at Yao Lao and then began to use the Yuan Power within his body to nourish the Purple Fire bit by bit.

This process was relatively long and could not be completed quickly in a day or two.

Therefore, Lin Yan stayed in the room for a full seven days, nourishing it with the Yuan Power in his body.

Seven days later, Lin Yan summoned the Purple Fire in the backyard.

At this moment, the Purple Fire was significantly more vigorous than before.

Upon being summoned, the Purple Fire hung above Lin Yan's palm, its scorching temperature making it feel like a small sun.

Lin Yan clenched his palm into a fist, and that purple Beast Fire instantly covered his arm. Lin Yan smashed his hand toward the ground, and the terrifying temperature, combined with powerful force, slammed violently into the earth.

A violent sound suddenly erupted, and a conspicuous crack began to spread outward from where Lin Yan's fist had struck the ground, continuing for quite some time before finally coming to a halt.

"Such immense power! Since obtaining this Purple Fire, my combat ability has reached a whole new level!" Lin Yan's eyes lit up at the sight, and he could not help but exclaim.

"Heh, then you should look forward to the Heavenly Flame, little friend. If you can obtain a Heavenly Flame in the future, you will realize that compared to it, this Beast Fire is merely child's play," Yao Lao said to Lin Yan with a smile.

He then added, "However, the power of this Purple Fire is nearing the limit of what you can control. Therefore, I suggest you prepare to swallow it using the Burning Art."

Lin Yan nodded at Yao Lao upon hearing this. "Then I will have to trouble you, Senior Yao Lao."

Yao Lao smiled and replied, "It is but a small matter."

He then summoned his medicine cauldron and began to refine medicine.

Truth be told, the medicinal ingredients required this time were quite numerous, and most of them were second-grade materials.

A few days ago, Lin Yan had intended to exchange his clan tournament rewards for money to buy medicine, but Lin Zhentian, upon learning he needed funds, had given him double the amount and told him to ask for more if it wasn't enough.

Consequently, Lin Yan still had a large sum of money left over even after purchasing all the ingredients.

"Let us begin."

Yao Lao quickly tossed all the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron.

As a master alchemist, Yao Lao found the process of refining medicine to be effortless and relaxed.

Refining a few second-grade pills required a large pile of ingredients, yet he tossed them in casually and began the process, successfully producing the pills before long.

Looking at the lustrous, vibrant pills, Yao Lao smiled faintly and handed them to Lin Yan.

"Little friend, the medicine is refined, and the fire is nurtured."

"Now, it is your turn to swallow the flame."
