Escort and Protection! Successful Refinement!

Escort and Protection! Successful Refinement!

The walls of this secret chamber were all made of Cold Mountain Stone. It was truly extravagant.

One had to know that the value of Cold Mountain Stone was comparable to that of a fourth-grade medicinal ingredient.

An entire secret chamber built from Cold Mountain Stone—Canaan Academy truly lived up to its deep foundations.

Though the price was extremely high, its effects were equally remarkable.

This material could suppress the power of flames, greatly reducing the difficulty for alchemists refining Beast Flames.

With this, the success rate of refining a Beast Flame increased by at least another twenty percent.

Of course, Wang Chen was already practically guaranteed a hundred percent success.

"Alright, get ready to begin."

"Inside this secret chamber, even if the refinement fails, you absolutely will not be harmed.

"Do not put yourself under too much pressure."

After closing the chamber door, Medicine Elder explained this to Wang Chen.

In order to cultivate Wang Chen, his disciple, to the fullest extent, Medicine Elder truly spared no expense.

As long as something benefited Wang Chen, he did not care in the slightest how much it cost.

Wang Chen was indeed quite fortunate to have such a teacher.

"I already guided you through it before, and you understand the general process.

"Now, it depends on you."

After giving this reminder, Medicine Elder moved to the side and left the space to Wang Chen.

Refining a Beast Flame had to rely on the host's own strength. External help was of little use.

He had come along only as a precaution.

Should an accident occur during Wang Chen's refinement, he would use his own strength to protect Wang Chen.

As for refining a sixth-tier Beast Flame, he had already prepared everything he could.

Whether it succeeded or not could only depend on Wang Chen himself.

Even though his estimates put Wang Chen's chances of success at ninety percent, it still depended on Wang Chen's own efforts.

If the host himself did not work hard, then no amount of preparation would be worth a damn.

"Alright. Thank you for the trouble, Teacher."

Watching Medicine Elder move aside, Wang Chen thanked him, then took a deep breath.

Though he had already more or less confirmed that his odds of successfully refining the Beast Flame were a hundred percent, this was still his first time refining one in this manner.

He still felt the tiniest bit of pressure.

In the past, he had refined Beast Flames through his cheat ability's enhancement, succeeding in a single go.

Now that he had to refine it himself, there was extra trouble for no reason.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the Cold Mountain Stone chamber, Wang Chen took out Cold Spring and swallowed the Blood Lotus Pill.

Then he activated the Beast Flame and officially began the refinement.

Suppressed by the Cold Mountain Stone, the sixth-tier Beast Flame was not particularly active.

Wang Chen directly stretched out his left hand and grabbed toward the sixth-tier Beast Flame.

Protected by the medicinal pill, the Beast Flame could not harm Wang Chen at all.

However, a sixth-tier Beast Flame was still a sixth-tier Beast Flame. When faced with danger, it still erupted.

A large amount of flame energy began scorching Wang Chen's left hand.

Fortunately, protected by the pill's power, Wang Chen's left hand was not injured.

However, the blood-red armor formed by the pill and covering it slowly melted away, dripping down bit by bit.

"Found it!!!"

After roughly ten seconds, delight flashed across Wang Chen's face.

He had caught the Beast Flame's fire seed.

Other than the difficulty, refining a high-tier Beast Flame was not too different from refining a Heavenly Flame.

One first had to find the fire seed, then refine it.

Naturally, this did not apply to those whose strength was overwhelmingly powerful.

If one directly swallowed and refined the entire flame, then the fire seed would naturally be refined as well.

Wang Chen did not possess such exaggerated strength yet, so he naturally had to proceed step by step.

Once the fire seed was extracted, Medicine Elder at the side relaxed slightly.

This was the first step in refining a Beast Flame, and also the most crucial one.

If this step could not be completed, then refining the Beast Flame would be nothing but empty talk.

Having extracted the fire seed, Wang Chen did not waste any time and swallowed it in one gulp.

At the same time, within his body, Wang Chen summoned his own Flame Spirit and had it join his Dou Qi in suppressing and refining the sixth-tier Beast Flame's fire seed.

Although Wang Chen only displayed the Dou Qi strength of a Grand Dou Shi, with the Flame Spirit's assistance, refining the sixth-tier Beast Flame's fire seed was not particularly difficult.

After being swallowed, the fire seed began moving about chaotically within Wang Chen's body.

Fortunately, the blood membrane formed by the medicinal pill protected him, so it did not have much effect on Wang Chen.

Then, under the suppression of Wang Chen's two Flame Spirits, the chaotic fire seed was brought under control.

To avoid being too shocking, Wang Chen also swallowed a Spirit Nucleus and a mouthful of Cold Spring to aid his refinement.

Under the combined onslaught of the Flame Spirits, Cold Spring, and the pill's power, the fire seed was like a candle flame in the wind.

After another two and a half minutes or so, the sixth-tier Beast Flame was successfully refined.

Two streams of purple-gold air shot from Wang Chen's nostrils as he suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised his left hand, and a purple-gold dragon-like flame coiled within his palm.

"Success!!"

Seeing this, Medicine Elder spoke in shock.

Honestly, while Wang Chen refined the Beast Flame, Medicine Elder had been even more worried than Wang Chen himself.

An alchemy genius like Wang Chen was truly something one could only encounter by chance.

Being able to take a disciple like Wang Chen was also a stroke of luck for him.

If Qi Ming had not been the one in charge back then, he might not have been able to accept Wang Chen so easily.

After all, Canaan Academy did not have only one peak fifth-grade alchemist.

Though Qi Ming had introduced him as the foremost figure in Canaan Academy's Alchemy Department,

that had actually contained a small amount of exaggeration.

Still, it was not entirely empty boasting. He could say with complete responsibility that within Canaan Academy, he was inferior to no alchemist.

Yet that merely meant he was not inferior; it did not mean he could crush everyone else.

Those who had reached the level of peak fifth-grade alchemists generally possessed one or two exceptional skills.

To surpass them, he would have to break through to become a sixth-grade alchemist.

That was precisely why he valued Wang Chen, this disciple, so greatly.

If an accident occurred while cultivating Wang Chen, not only would he have failed his talented disciple, but he would also have no face to show before his old companions.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Wang Chen successfully refined the sixth-tier Beast Flame.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Wang Chen stood and thanked Medicine Elder.

Wang Chen understood all too clearly how difficult it was to obtain such a top-tier sixth-tier Beast Flame.

Furthermore, Medicine Elder had prepared every material needed for Wang Chen to refine the Beast Flame.

He had even applied for this top-tier secret chamber.

Leaving aside anything else, the basic value of all these things combined was comparable to a seventh-grade pill.

Wang Chen was not an ungrateful wretch, so he was naturally deeply moved.

However, he was not particularly skilled at expressing his inner feelings, so he could only secretly resolve to repay this teacher properly.

"Why are you thanking me for that between us?"

Faced with Wang Chen's gratitude, Medicine Elder merely waved his hand, not taking it too seriously.
