Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 59 Refining Beast Fire and the New Talent [Marrow Cleansing and Root Refinement]

In the shade under a rocky outcrop.

Zhou Ling was gnawing on dried beast meat while studying the beast fire in his hand.

Blue flames flickered!

It feels like a small sun in the palm of your hand.

Although it was extremely hot, he was able to withstand it because he was cultivating the Spirit Flame Technique.

"According to He Lingyun, this beast fire is also a type of spirit fire, and it is extremely precious!"

"If other cultivators find out that I have obtained this beast fire, it will definitely be a big problem."

"Only by first integrating the beast fire into my body can I ensure my safety!"

Zhou Ling pondered to himself.

Thinking of this, he showed no joy on his face, but instead frowned.

To refine the spirit flame, one needs to cultivate the fire refining technique. Fortunately, the spirit flame manual includes a refining technique.

However, this beast fire is a spiritual object born from the fusion of the Haoyang Bird demon core and the earth fire spirit flame.

Even though it is still in its early stages, its fire power should not be underestimated.

He was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and could only just control the spiritual flames within his body. Refining this beast fire would be quite difficult!

He felt he wasn't very confident.

Once the beast fire enters the body, if it is not properly controlled and refined, it could result in complete annihilation.

The risk is too great!
If you progress to the later stages of Qi cultivation, your chances of success will be much greater!
But given the current situation...

Once I return to the camp with the beast fire, other rogue cultivators will definitely find out, and then it's hard to say whether I can safely return to Lingxia City!
Even if they return to Lingxia Immortal City, how could the higher-ups of the Lingxia Sect ignore this news?

A single beast fire, if used properly, is enough to train a third-tier alchemist for the sect.

How could they allow a rogue cultivator like themselves to obtain it?

Therefore, even if there are risks, it is necessary to refine it as soon as possible.

He knew in his heart that with his current strength, once the beast fire was leaked...

I have absolutely no way of protecting it.

It could even bring unnecessary danger to yourself and your family.

Squeak!
At that moment, the rock rat, as light as the wind, darted over from the nearby mountain rocks.

A vibrant green herb dangled from its mouth.

"Second-grade low-grade Ning Yuan grass!"

Zhou Ling was overjoyed upon receiving the spiritual herb.

Ningyuan grass has cylindrical, curled leaves that feel cool to the touch.

It is really another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers.

I was originally planning to come back tomorrow to continue the search, but I didn't expect to actually find the Rock Rat.

This guy seems to be a lucky charm.

"My luck seems to be on the rise today!"

Upon finding the Condensing Essence Grass, Zhou Ling felt instantly relieved, a faint smile appearing on his face.

They subdued the beast fire and also found the Condensing Essence Grass.

After some consideration, Zhou Ling decided to take advantage of this good fortune and absorb and refine the beast fire right here.

After all, Nine Leaf Valley was originally the territory of Haoyang Bird. Haoyang Bird had just been captured, but Nine Leaf Valley was still safe for the time being.

He immediately sent a command to the rock rat, instructing it to patrol the area and prevent other demonic beasts or cultivators from disturbing him.

Squeak!
The rock rat squeaked twice, then leaped lightly onto the rock, lying down as if it had instantly become part of the rock.

Zhou Ling no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

Then, looking at the beast fire in his hand, which shone like a small sun, Zhou Ling activated the refining technique.

The next second, the beast fire in his hand suddenly transformed into a stream of flames, which, like a serpent, burrowed into his body along his arm and flowed into his meridians.

Zhou Ling's expression was solemn. Absorbing fire into the body is the first step of the Fire Refining Technique, and also the most dangerous.

The spirit flame is inherently violent, and even though Zhou Ling has now imprinted a spiritual mark on it, its innate instincts cannot be easily refined by cultivators.

Moreover, even body cultivators in the late stage of body refinement may not be able to resist the power of beast fire.

Therefore, one must be extremely careful when inhaling fire into the body. The slightest carelessness can lead to an explosion of spiritual flames, damage to the meridians, or even direct incineration.

Therefore, generally speaking, cultivators need to be extremely well-prepared when refining and absorbing spiritual fire.

Fortunately, Zhou Ling's main cultivation technique was the Spirit Flame Technique, and he also used the Fire Lotus for cultivation.

The meridians are also tempered and become extremely tough.

In addition, his body refinement cultivation at the mid-stage of the first rank was enough to withstand the scorching flames of the beast fire.

However, as the beast fire entered the body, the scorching flames surged through the meridians like a raging torrent.

The intense, tearing sensation was nothing compared to that of the Fireweed.

"what!"

Zhou Ling let out a scream, a look of pain on his face.

In an instant, wisps of flame, like fire snakes, pierced through the meridians, burning the flesh and bones.

A wave of excruciating pain, like being slowly sliced ​​to death, surged through my entire body!
At the same time, Zhou Ling's body radiated a faint fiery red light, as if a blazing sun was blooming within him.

Zhou Ling felt his mind go blank at that moment, and could only rely on instinct to keep circulating the Fire Refining Technique.

If it weren't for his strong will and the fact that he endured the stinging pain of refining the Fire Cloud Grass every month, which gave him the ability to resist, he would have been different.

They'd probably be rolling around on the ground by now.

If their willpower is even slightly weak, they may fall into a coma directly.

The scorching flames rendered him oblivious to everything else, and he was overwhelmed by excruciating pain.

[You are refining Fire Beast Fire. The more setbacks you face, the more determined you become +1. Refining speed +5]

[Growth Talent, Marrow Cleansing and Root Refinement: Able to refine physique and enhance spiritual roots. Requirements: Absorb spiritual treasures from heaven and earth, and refine the physical body 10 times.]

As the notification sound rang out, Zhou Ling felt a cool sensation within his body, which slightly relieved the indescribable pain throughout his body.

At the same time, the meridians within the body are slowly absorbing the beast fire.

At this moment, his whole body was crimson, with wisps of flame rising, and his internal bones made popping sounds from time to time.

Sweat poured out like a fountain.

[You are refining Fire Beast Fire. The more setbacks you face, the more determined you become +1. Refining speed +3]

······
After about an incense stick's time, Zhou Ling felt a cool sensation gradually spreading through his body.

The wisps of flame within the body gradually converged into the Qi Sea through the meridians.

However, Zhou Ling did not look relaxed; refining fire into the body was only the first step.

Next, he needs to refine the beast fire and integrate it into his own body.

In this way, even if others try to seize the beast fire, they can destroy it at any time.

Whether the beast fire can be successfully refined this time has reached its final stage.

If successful, one will reap great rewards, both in terms of physical constitution and cultivation level.

If we lose, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, with the help of the "The More You Frustrate, the Stronger You Become" talent, the subsequent pain was within a tolerable range.

As his physical body and flames continued to merge, Zhou Ling's pores opened wide, and wisps of black impurities oozed out from his body.

A little over fifteen minutes later, Zhou Ling suddenly felt the burning sensation and pain in his body disappear.

I felt incredibly relaxed.

It felt like soaking in a clear spring during the hottest days of summer, leaving you feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"It's done!"

Zhou Ling opened her eyes, took a long breath, and looked delighted.
