Chapter 170: Refining Begins
Xiao Ling watched the Fallen Heart Flame finally compromise under his persuasion, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He knew that the next refining process was crucial and he had to make careful preparations.
If he persuaded this violent flame, when it came to refining, it might reduce its resistance a little, and he would also be able to suffer less from the torment of the strange fire.
Flying high, Xiao Ling spread his wings condensed by Dou Qi and hovered steadily above this fiery world.
His eyes were like sharp swords, quickly shuttling through this vast magma world.
The surrounding scene was both hot and magnificent, with magma rolling like a boiling ocean, emitting a heart-pounding high temperature and sulfur smell.
Not long after, Xiao Ling's sight finally fixed on a huge rock protruding from the edge of a cliff.
The rock was like a lonely piece of land, and it was particularly eye-catching in this ocean of magma.
Flying his Dou Qi wings lightly, Xiao Ling's figure was agile and flew towards the huge rock.
As the distance shortened, Xiao Ling noticed that the surface of the stone was not smooth, but full of pits and cracks carved by time and high temperature.
Some places were still flashing with strange red light, as if they were immortal witnesses in the sea of magma.
After landing gently on the stone platform, Xiao Ling felt that the heat from his feet almost penetrated the soles of his shoes.
He quickly mobilized the fighting spirit circulating in his body to form a tough layer of protection on the soles of his feet, and the discomfort immediately dissipated into nothingness. Stand firm.
Xiao Ling glanced around again and confirmed that this place was safe for the time being. It was indeed an excellent place to refine the Fallen Heart Flame.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, slowly sat down cross-legged, placed the Fallen Heart Flame in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Ling stared at the Fallen Heart Flame in his palm with a firm gaze, his tone solemn and full of expectation: "Fallen Heart Flame, this step is crucial for both of us. I will begin to refine you. This is not only an improvement in my personal strength, but also the starting point for our common journey to become stronger."
The Fallen Heart Flame slowly rotated in Xiao Ling's palm, as if listening, or thinking, and finally, it trembled gently, as if to express its agreement.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and continued, "I hope you can give me the greatest cooperation in this process, and don't resist or make trouble."
"Refining you is not easy. Even if you don't resist, I will suffer a lot. All the pain will be borne by me. You just need to be refined by me peacefully."
"As long as we work together to successfully pass this level, the road ahead will be bright. I, Xiao Ling, hereby promise you that my glory will be closely linked to your existence. You will occupy an irreplaceable place in my achievements."
After listening to Xiao Ling's narration, the invisible little snake in the palm of his hand inexplicably showed a touch of longing in his eyes, and swayed his body, as if urging Xiao Ling to refine it quickly.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, eliminated all kinds of distracting thoughts in his heart, and prepared to start the thrilling journey of refining strange fire.
He knew that this process required extreme caution, and any slight mistake could cause considerable harm to himself.
Slowly opening his mouth, an invisible Dou Qi surged out of his body, slowly sucking the Fallen Heart Flame into Xiao Ling's stomach.
The Fallen Heart Flame, invisible and intangible, but with a destructive high temperature, slowly flowed into his throat under Xiao Ling's guidance, like a hot liquid, down his esophagus, and finally merged into Xiao Ling's tendons.
Xiao Ling immediately activated the "Burning Art" to guide this violent power to shuttle through specific meridian paths.
The Fallen Heart Flame traveled through Xiao Ling's meridians, and as expected, it did not show much resistance.
It seemed to feel Xiao Ling's firmness and determination, and obediently followed his guidance, circulating back and forth in the body.
But even so, as a Dou Zong-level strange fire, the Fallen Heart Flame still unconsciously exuded a heart-pounding power and temperature.
The power shuttled through Xiao Ling's meridians, bringing bursts of hot and stinging pain, as if countless fine needles were traveling in the blood vessels, making him clench his teeth tightly, and fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Faced with this unspeakable pain, Xiao Ling quickly took out a pill from his arms. It was the "Spirit Flame Heart Protection Pill" he had prepared in advance, which was specially taken when refining the strange fire.
Xiao Ling swallowed the pill without hesitation. In an instant, a cool feeling rose from his abdomen, flowing through his burning meridians like a spring, relieving the tingling and burning.
He flipped his palm and took out the "Qingyan Huadu Pill" and "Diling Pill". Although these two pills have different focuses, their effects are similar.
These two pills will play a vital role at the critical moment of refining the Fallen Heart Flame.
The "Qingyan Huadu Pill" has a powerful purifying power, which can penetrate into Xiao Ling's tendons and remove the heat and poison that may be contained in the strange fire, ensuring that he will not be invaded by any toxins in the process of swallowing the Fallen Heart Flame, and keep his body pure.
The "Earth Spirit Pill" focuses on protecting the user's mind. Its unique medicinal power can effectively remove the fire poison, helping Xiao Ling to keep his mind clear during the refining process, without being disturbed by the heat, ensuring that his will remains firm.
The effects of these two pills complement each other, and both will provide Xiao Ling with the necessary protection, allowing him to be more calm during the difficult journey of refining the Fallen Heart Flame.
After swallowing the two pills separately, Xiao Ling only felt a cool and warm current spreading in his body at the same time.
The coolness of the Qingyan Huadu Pill is like a mountain spring, washing away the impurities in the body;
The warm current of the Diling Pill is like the warm sun in winter, warming his mind and stabilizing his will.
The interweaving of these two forces made Xiao Ling feel an unprecedented powerful force in his body ready to go, laying a solid foundation for his next refining journey.
Xiao Ling held his breath and concentrated his mind, guiding the Fallen Heart Flame step by step into the Dou Crystal. The Naling in the Dou Crystal seemed to be a bottomless abyss, quietly absorbing this violent flame.
As time passed, after an unknown period of time, the Fallen Heart Flame gradually merged into the space within the Naling, and the stinging and scorching gradually weakened until it disappeared.
Finally, Xiao Ling felt a brand new force surging in his body, which was a sign of successful refining.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face. He knew in his heart that the Fallen Heart Flame had already surrendered to his will at this moment.
Next, he only needs to practice the Burning Technique to completely devour the strange fire. Not only can it improve his own cultivation, but it can also take the quality of the Burning Technique to a higher level.
