After hearing this, Lin Fan's confident smile made his already handsome face even more confident. "Don't worry, I've been studying really hard these past few days. Making a small elixir will definitely be a piece of cake."

If nothing unexpected happens, there will naturally be no accidents. Lin Fan lit the alchemy furnace, casually kneaded the medicinal materials into a ball, and finally threw it into the alchemy furnace to activate the alchemy furnace with spiritual energy.

I can only say that the protagonist is worthy of being the protagonist. The black fog that appeared when he first refined the elixir no longer appeared. Instead, a burst of fragrant elixir fragrance wafted towards him. In the middle of the alchemy furnace was a not-so-good-looking elixir, which was a first-grade primary elixir.

Lin Fan turned around to look at Hong Huang and asked proudly, "Master, what do you think? I'm a genius in alchemy."

Hong Huang was speechless for a moment, "Kid, you are invincible."

Lin Fan didn't understand Hong Huang's tone, and became more determined in his thoughts. He even fantasized about winning the alchemy competition in the sect competition on his own.

"Stop, you are indeed a genius, but that's not enough. Haven't you ever thought about some unexpected things, such as the alchemy furnace not being able to be used?"

Hong Huang tried to interrupt Lin Fan's fantasy and wanted to pull Lin Fan into his own rhythm.

"Can't use it? Isn't this kind of problem just a matter of changing it? Otherwise, how can I refine it?" Lin Fan's originally confident smile turned into confusion.

"This is what I want to teach you this time. It's to directly wrap the medicinal materials with fire, and then use the fire as a furnace to refine the elixir directly. This way, you can extract the essence of the medicinal materials to the greatest extent. At the same time, there is a high probability that your elixir will be upgraded by one level. Just like the small elixir you just refined, this method can make it reach the quality of the first-grade intermediate level."

"What? There is such an incredible method. Doesn't that require a strong control over fire? But I don't have a fire spirit root." Lin Fan was confused again.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. Although you don't have a fire spirit root, your wind spirit root can also play a similar role. That's why I proposed this method."

"Since you have a wind spirit root, you should be able to feel the differences and flow trajectories of various gases more clearly than ordinary people. So I ask you to calm down now and carefully feel a certain gas in your body. This gas is almost everywhere in your body and can provide you with sufficient energy. Although this gas is hidden in the spiritual energy, I believe you can find it."

Lin Fan was skeptical, but he still did as he was told. The benefits of the Wind Spiritual Root were once again evident. Not long after he entered into meditation, he discovered this gas. Lin Fan instantly jumped up and shouted to Hong Huang:

"Master, I found it. This gas does have the effect you said, but what does it have to do with this alchemy root?"

As the saying goes, fortunes change, and now it's Hong Huang's turn to be proud. Unfortunately, Lin Fan can't see it.

"Good! You've found it. Now, start a small fire in the alchemy furnace and control the gas I mentioned. Then observe the size of the flame when there's more gas and when there's less. Finally, tell me if you have any ideas about alchemy."

Lin Fan, who was confused for three times, did not take action directly. Instead, he felt the spiritual energy around him on the spot, and then controlled the gas that Hong Huang mentioned, making the gas gather together, and then disperse the gas. After repeating this many times, Lin Fan seemed to gradually understand the meaning of Hong Huang's words. He was proficient in controlling the gas and no longer hesitated, and took action.

He first lit a small flame in the middle of the alchemy furnace, and then immediately condensed the gas near the flame. As the fire grew bigger, the gas also decreased. Lin Fan continued to control the gas, making it continuously approach the flame, and the flame became more and more fierce. Then he controlled the gas away from the flame, and the flame slowly turned into a flame, until the gas was completely away from the flame, and finally the sporadic flame disappeared in a flash.

At that moment, Lin Fan was enlightened. He could feel that he had a completely new understanding of fire. An indescribable feeling made him sit cross-legged on the spot. Spiritual energy surrounded him, and a faint golden light emanated from Lin Fan. This was the phenomenon of sudden enlightenment.

Hong Huang was shocked by Lin Fan's sudden enlightenment, and thought to himself: He can have an epiphany just by understanding the relationship between oxygen and flame. Is this the protagonist? If he had gone through nine years of compulsory education, wouldn't he have ascended to heaven immediately?

Half a minute later, Lin Fan opened his eyes. At the same time as his sudden enlightenment, his cultivation level also improved. Lin Fan's current cultivation level has reached the fifth level of Qi training.

"Master, can you tell me what this gas is called?" "This is life energy. This gas is life energy. Whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, as long as they are not exposed to it, there will be a difference in time."

After Hong Huang finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then continued:

"So you can use your life energy to control the size of other people's flames, thereby preventing them from failing in alchemy and allowing you to advance. However, once your opponent's cultivation level is high, it will be easy to be discovered, so you should only use this method during sect competitions."

Lin Fan had a learned expression on his face after hearing this, and then the corner of his mouth curled up to the left, "So this method can also be used in weapon refining competitions?" "Yes, but I suggest you use this method as a last resort."

"I understand, Master. I will abide by the agreement between us. I won't use this trick unless it's absolutely necessary. By the way, refining the elixir is no problem now, but what about refining the weapon?"

"The fire required for refining weapons is not a big problem for you, so you should focus on other aspects. In order to give you a deep understanding, you should refine a sword for me to see."

Lin Fan did not hesitate and began to refine the sword. He took out a piece of iron and a few spirit stones and placed them aside for use. Then he burned the iron with flames and hammered it with crude means. Finally, he tempered the spirit stones and the unfinished sword in the fire together. Not long after, an ordinary sword appeared in Lin Fan's hand.

At this moment, Hong Huang, who had prepared his words, spoke up: "Have you noticed that you haven't completely removed the impurities in the iron? Even refined iron will contain some impurities, not to mention the iron you just casually took out. So our first priority now is to reduce the impurities."

"But Master, I'm only at the fifth level of weapon refining. I can't increase my power to remove more impurities. Besides, we all use the same materials during the sect competition. It's impossible for me to use materials with fewer impurities than others."

"So your wind spirit root is effective at this time."

Lin Fan was confused again. This was his fourth confusion today. He had never thought that the wind spiritual root, known as the escape spiritual root in the world of immortal cultivation, would actually be helpful in alchemy and refining equipment, and it might even be more than just alchemy and refining equipment.

"Stop, stop imagining things, listen carefully to me, I'll only tell you once," Hong Huang's words interrupted Lin Fan's wild imagination, and then Hong Huang's voice sounded again:

"Resistance, do you have any guesses when you hear this word?"
