Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Nurturing Success, Devouring Purple Flame!
At this moment, even Yao Elder, upon seeing the purple flame Lin Yan had taken out, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his expression.
The reason for his surprise wasn't because this purple flame was extraordinarily noble.
It was because he saw the hope of the evolution of the Burning Skill!
So, he couldn't help but ask Lin Yan, "Young friend, where did you obtain this?"
Lin Yan didn't hide anything and answered directly, "This, I obtained it from the system."
Yao Elder looked a bit disappointed, "I see, I thought it was obtained from this world..."
But he quickly understood. Since Lin Yan could obtain a Beast Flame from the system, did that mean he could also obtain an Heavenly Fire in the future?
From this perspective, it seemed that Lin Yan's chances of obtaining an Heavenly Fire in the future had increased.
Thinking this through, Yao Elder's previous sense of disappointment faded, and he smiled warmly at Lin Yan, "Congratulations, young friend."
"Now that you can obtain a Beast Fire, it's not impossible to obtain an Heavenly Fire in the future. And as long as you can obtain an Heavenly Fire, your advancement will be tremendously significant."
Lin Yan nodded in response to this.
As for Yao Elder on the side, he quickly asked Lin Yan, "By the way, young friend, how do you plan to handle this Beast Fire?"
Lin Yan directly shared his plan with Yao Elder:
"Yao Elder, I plan to use the Burning Skill to devour this thing."
"Although it's just a Beast Flame, because my Burning Skill's level is still low, after devouring it, I should still be able to gain some improvement."
"Moreover, the most important thing is that I don't currently possess an Heavenly Fire. So, compared to using the Heavenly Fire I create with my soul power, this Beast Fire seems to be more useful for both refining medicine and alchemy."
He explained his thoughts step by step. In reality, although Lin Yan was practicing the Burning Skill for the first time, due to his knowledge of the "Battle Through the Heavens" series, he was quite clear about the upgrade path of the Burning Skill. Therefore, he could design a suitable upgrade route for himself.
"Well, young friend, you make a good point."
"That sounds like a reasonable plan."
Yao Elder agreed with Lin Yan's plan.
Then, he looked at the Heavenly Fire in Lin Yan's hand and said, "In that case, let's start preparing for the steps before devouring the Beast Fire."
"Even though it's not an Heavenly Fire, a Beast Fire is not as easily endured by the human body. Therefore, to devour this type of flame, assistance from medicinal pills is also necessary."
"Furthermore... young friend, your current Beast Flame is still quite weak."
"If you want to devour it to enhance your Burning Skill, it would be best to refine it into a Source Fire Seed first. Continuously use your elemental energy to warm it up. Once it reaches a certain level of advancement, combine it with the medicinal pills and use the Burning Skill to devour it."
After all, Yao Elder was an experienced figure. Upon hearing that Lin Yan intended to devour the Beast Flame, he quickly formulated a detailed plan for him.
He provided Lin Yan with the recipe. As long as Lin Yan brought the medicinal ingredients, Yao Elder could directly prepare the pills. For now, the most important thing was cultivating the Beast Flame.
"Alright, let's proceed according to Yao Elder's suggestion."
Lin Yan nodded.
Yao Elder then placed his hand on Lin Yan's forehead.
Feeling a surge of information flooding his mind, Lin Yan carefully absorbed it. Then, with slightly narrowed eyes, he sat down cross-legged.
"First, create a small space within the vortex that can contain the purple flame."
"Once the space is formed, extract a wisp of flame from the purple flame, wrap it with elemental energy, and draw it in..."
"Finally, completely absorb it."
Yao Elder kept reminding Lin Yan of the steps while he followed the instructions and suggestions.
Soon, he completed the refinement of the Source Fire Seed.
"It's done! This is my flame now."
Lin Yan opened his eyes once more. He casually manipulated the flame, causing it to change continuously in his hand, like a toy.
Now, Lin Yan could feel a connection between the purple flame and his own bloodline. When manipulating the flame, he felt even more in control.
"Not bad."
Yao Elder was satisfied and nodded at Lin Yan.
However, he quickly reminded him, "But your Beast Flame is still weak. It needs to be nurtured with elemental energy."
"Otherwise, it won't be sufficient for either battles or refining medicine."
Lin Yan nodded at Yao Elder's advice and began using his own elemental energy to nurture the purple flame.
This process was quite lengthy and couldn't be completed quickly within a day or two.
So, Lin Yan stayed in his room, nurturing the flame with his elemental energy for a full seven days.
After seven days, Lin Yan summoned the purple flame in the backyard.
Compared to before, the purple flame was visibly more vibrant.
Summoning the flame, it hung in Lin Yan's palm. The scorching temperature gave the impression of a small sun.
Lin Yan clenched his fist, and the purple flame covered his arm like an armor. He struck the ground, and the high temperature and powerful force combined, causing a loud sound to echo. A visible crack spread from the point of impact, expanding for quite some time before stopping.
"Such formidable power! After obtaining this purple flame, my combat abilities have improved another level!" Lin Yan's eyes lit up, unable to hide his excitement.
"Hehe, young friend, you should look forward to obtaining an Heavenly Fire. If you manage to acquire one in the future, you'll realize that compared to an Heavenly Fire, this Beast Flame is child's play." Yao Elder laughed, teasing Lin Yan.
Then he continued, "However, your Beast Flame is approaching the limit of what you can control. Therefore, I suggest you use the Burning Skill to devour it."
Lin Yan nodded, "Thank you, Yao Elder."
Yao Elder smiled and said, "It's a small matter."
With that, he took out the alchemical cauldron and began the process of refining.
This time, he needed quite a few medicinal ingredients, mostly second-grade materials.
In the past few days, Lin Yan had intended to convert his rewards from the clan competition into money to buy the materials. Unexpectedly, Lin ZhenTian, upon learning that he needed money, had directly given him twice the amount he needed and told him to ask for more if necessary.
As a result, after buying the materials, Lin Yan even had a substantial amount of money left.
"Let's begin."
Yao Elder quickly placed all the materials into the alchemical cauldron.
Being a master alchemist, Yao Elder found the process quite effortless.
Making several second-grade pills required a large amount of ingredients. He casually started refining, and it didn't take long for the pills to be successfully produced.
Looking at the glossy pills, Yao Elder smiled faintly. He handed them to Lin Yan and said:
"Young friend, the pills are done, and the flame has been nurtured."
"Next, it's time for you to devour the flame."
