When she first opened it, the theories and techniques described were fairly well-organized and continuous, and many of the theories struck her as quite novel.

However, when one skimmed through the middle section, many breaks and errors appeared in the manual.

The text between pages is inconsistent, and there are always gaps in the explanations of the process.

Even the materials needed to condense the fake pill are only half left—although the properties of the other half of the medicine can be barely deduced based on the theory of medicinal properties, it is still much more troublesome.

If one were to directly cultivate a fake elixir using this incomplete technique, the result would inevitably be qi deviation and demonic possession.

Unless... someone can use this manual as a foundation, expend countless lives, and forcibly create a viable path to Core Formation.

Only she could have come up with such a dangerous and resolute solution.

"At least it's still somewhat useful," Xi Heng muttered to himself.

Volume 1: Chapter 206 (Chapter 198) - Old Friends and New Acquaintances

As night fell, rolling dark clouds shrouded the entire fiery inferno, and a light drizzle began to fall.

Around Ishiyabo Market, streams flow gently through the fields.

The fine raindrops on the water's surface created tiny ripples.

Xi Heng was sitting on a huge rock by the water, wearing a wide black robe, his face obscured by black mist.

With both hands, he gently grasped an unfolded scroll.

The axle fell to the ground, and the golden rolled-up wheels opened.

The girl quickly scanned the words on it.

The text on this scroll is disjointed, as if the patterns from a fragmented book have been randomly printed onto the scroll.

Although their font specifications, handwriting, etc. are the same, the order of the text will be slightly out of order every few paragraphs.

The girl read it with some difficulty.

Either this paragraph is not connected to the previous one, or it contains typos or omissions.

Furthermore, some page paragraphs were missing halfway, making her feel tired whenever she looked at them.

Finally, Xi Heng simply glanced through it without trying to understand it.

After pressing his temples, he rolled up the scroll that had been spread out on the ground and soaked with rainwater, and put it into his storage bag.

"This will probably require a lot of research before we can make any progress..."

As she muttered to herself, the girl stood up and looked around.

On the open ground all around, several motionless bodies lay sprawled.

They still had their eyes open and were still breathing, but their consciousness was obscured by the flames of resentment, and they lay sprawled like dead fish.

Xi Heng slowly withdrew the resentment that had been enveloping the consciousness of these people.

During this time, he still kept thinking about the method of obtaining the fake elixir:

"With my current Qi Refining level, I am not yet capable of handling pseudo-cores. I will study them slowly after I reach Foundation Establishment."

This scroll can be saved for future use.

As for now, she no longer needs to stay here.

Xi Heng nimbly rose from the stone pier, activated his flight spell, and vanished into the night in an instant.

A moment later, the Seven Alliance cultivators, whose bodies had been implanted with resentful fire, slowly regained consciousness, looking around blankly, speechless with those around them.

……

On his way back home, Xi Heng also took the opportunity to visit the battlefield where he had previously fought with two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Seven Alliances.

Then, the resentful flames were used to devour the memories of the two defeated Foundation Establishment cultivators related to the resentful flames.

Only after thoroughly cleaning up the traces did she feel at ease enough to return to the interior of Ishigaya Ward.

He continued to conceal his aura, then released a serpentine flame from a distance, which crawled toward the Pure Fire Split.

Once the flames of resentment had seeped in, it activated the power of spiritual transformation and returned to its own home.

A flash of light twisted, and the figure shifted and moved.

After a spinning sensation, the light faded, and vision returned.

I opened my eyes and saw the familiar hall.

He scanned the courtyard with his spiritual sense once more before settling down.

He took out the scroll of the method for obtaining fake elixirs again and spread it out.

The girl rested her elbows on the table, her palms supporting her chin, and quietly scanned the words on it.

After studying it carefully for a quarter of an hour, he still said helplessly:

"Sure enough, even after calming down, I still can't understand it."

Many sections of the text are missing, and the text is either blurry or blacked out...

However, since this Dharma text had no missing paragraphs or blurred text, she also found it difficult to decipher the meanings of many of the ancient phrases used in it.

"Yin Wanluan should be able to help me translate part of it... I still need her help, but we'll talk about the rest later."

The girl nonchalantly closed the scroll and put it into the storage box.

Then, he casually used the purified fire to observe the scenes in other locations several times.

Feeling increasingly tired, he casually performed a cleansing ritual, returned to his bed, and snuggled into the blankets to sleep.

……

Xi Heng can relax his mind and fall asleep easily.

However, the many cultivators affected by today's events are finding it difficult to rest.

While she was fast asleep, the matter of the fake alchemy method had already reached the upper echelons of several major organizations in the Fire Hell through numerous channels.

The three major forces within the great barrier all desired to control this method.

Thus, numerous cultivators of varying levels of cultivation rushed towards the information coordinates, some correct and some incorrect.

However, the only correct location among them no longer has the so-called method of obtaining the elixir.

Only a few cultivators, their consciousness hazy and confused, remained there.

The first to arrive were the experts from the Seven Sect Alliance.

After a period of inspection and questioning at the scene, the group determined that a powerful cultivator skilled in mental attacks and blood magic had stolen the fake pill scroll.

Immediately, they began to suspect the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Seven Sects Alliance's Demon Academy, sparking a heated argument.

In the end, it was only when the leaders of the Seven Alliances arrived that the riot was barely quelled.

Not long after, people from Wanbaoge and Jinghuo Sect arrived at the scene and immediately accused the Seven Sect Alliance of breaking the rules by attempting to restart the fake pill method, thus creating chaos in the peaceful Jinghuo cultivation world.

The Seven Sects Alliance attempted to explain, suggesting that perhaps the Netherworld Sect had stolen the fake alchemy method.

But the members of the Pure Fire Cult were already used to this argument of blaming others to absolve themselves, and since one of their members had died because of it, they kept pressing for an explanation.

The alliance leader reluctantly made a concession, but the vice leader of the Pure Fire Sect was completely dissatisfied and immediately made a move to attack.

At first, they were just exchanging blows casually, hoping to gain more benefits from today's events.

But as the fight went on, neither side's moves diminished in power.

In the end, both leaders used their Foundation Establishment Perfection power, delivering blows in the wilderness that were enough to severely injure each other.

It was nearly dawn.

The first light of dawn, like the pale white of a fish's belly, pierced through the veil of night.

From the vicinity of Ishigani Ward in the southern part of the Fire Hell, a clash between a blazing fireball and a dense blue light was even more dazzling than the dawn in the east.

In an instant, the world changed color, and the clouds and fog dispersed.

The violent impact and intense heat created a crater-like depression on the ground, and the trees and streams were completely destroyed.

Even those who had retreated several miles away were still affected by the sudden burst of energy, which broke through their spiritual defenses.

The weaker ones even suffered injuries of varying degrees on the spot and were quickly dragged away by the other cultivators.

After the light exploded, the earth trembled, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire inferno.

Even Xi Heng, far away in the capital of Jinghuo, was slowly awakened by the sound of the tremor and the shaking of the earth.

Back to reality, I opened my eyes and looked out the window.

As you can see, the view outside the window is already blindingly white.

Xi Heng rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand again, muttering to himself, "Is it already noon? It feels like I haven't slept for very long..."

The bed trembled slightly from the vibrations of the ground.

"And that sound... was it an earthquake?"

Can earthquakes occur inside a spirit-locking array?

Before she could recover from her initial awakening, she saw that the sky outside was gradually turning dark again.

"..."

The girl blinked, not quite understanding what was happening.

I got up and climbed onto the windowsill, realizing it was only dawn.

The magnificent light just now was emitted by a fading spell.

She easily discerned the direction; the location where the powerful spell was shining was the spot where she had made her move before going to sleep.

And now, it's clear that a high-level cultivator has made a move over there.

It seems there's more than one.

"It shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?" Xi Heng muttered to himself.

Then he nodded as if answering his own question:

"Well, it's okay."

She no longer wanted to go back there to watch the commotion, and thought that no matter how big the commotion was, it shouldn't affect her own Pure Fire Capital.

She tilted her head left and right, then relaxed her body and flopped back onto the bed, closing her eyes in relaxation.

Wrap yourself in the blankets and ignore any noise or tremors from the outside world.

"call……"

……

By the time I finally woke up after a good night's sleep, it was already noon.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the gentle sunlight of late spring shone on the earth.

The clean, warm light shone on the white stone slabs, reflecting off them and shimmering like stars.

The flowers in the front yard, waving in the warm sunlight, grow slowly in the spring breeze, and many of the blossoms have already opened.

Xi Heng got out of bed, put on his clothes, tied the thin belt around his waist, and stopped in front of the mirror to comb his hair.

He then picked up the storage bag placed on the bedside table and took out the Purifying Flame Emblem from it.

"So many messages."

The girl blinked, picked up the emblem, and carefully examined the fluctuations in its spiritual light.

The first announcement is from the official website of the Pure Fire Sect, stating that the roads around Shigufang City are under repair and will not be open for a while.

Incidentally, he also uttered a line of poetry in a sarcastic tone, subtly mocking the Seven Sects Alliance.

Xi Heng casually scrolled through the messages; the rest were all from Yin Wanluan.

"When I took action last night, she kept trying to contact me... but I didn't see it."

She didn't have the habit of holding the Purifying Flame Emblem in her hands. During her seclusion, she would only look at it once every month or two. And this emblem didn't have any reminder or vibration functions.

The first part of the message sent by Yin Wanluan advised her not to go to Shigu Market.

After Xi Heng finished his attack, he asked her if she was safe.
