Chapter 256: Refining the Ziwei Indefinite Fire

"Is this the seed of the Ziwei Indefinite Fire?"

Su Lang also showed a look of joy. This was a Xuan Grade Strange Fire, a level higher than the Green Lotus Dragon Pattern Fire and the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire.

An Xin nodded with a smile, "Hurry and subdue it, Su Lang!"

"Alright!"

Su Lang stepped forward and grabbed the Ziwei Indefinite Fire in his hand.

"Ding! Detected Strange Fire: Ziwei Indefinite Fire. Do you wish to refine it?"

The System prompt arrived. Without hesitation, Su Lang immediately chose to refine it.

"Ding! Ziwei Indefinite Fire has been refined!"

"What!?"

"It was refined in an instant?"

Su Lang looked astonished. One must know that it had taken him twenty-four hours to refine both the Green Lotus Dragon Pattern Fire and the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire.

"Could it be because this Ziwei Indefinite Fire is only a seed that it was refined so quickly?"

Just as Su Lang was feeling puzzled, An Xin showed intense shock.

"Su Lang, where is the Ziwei Indefinite Fire seed?"

She asked in utter amazement, "How did it just disappear once it reached your hands?"

"Huh?"

"Uh, I've already refined it!"

Su Lang chuckled and extended a finger. A puff of misty, smoke-like purple flame immediately condensed.

"…"

Looking at the Ziwei Indefinite Fire on Su Lang's fingertip, An Xin was once again shocked into silence.

One must know that even a seed is not that easy to refine.

Back then, in her twenties and with the strength of a Peak Martial General Rank, it had taken her three days and three nights to refine it.

But with Su Lang, it was actually refined in the blink of an eye!

This was truly… too, too, too incredible!

While An Xin was lost in shock, Su Lang also figured out the function of the Ziwei Indefinite Fire.

It was an offensive type of flame, but its temperature could constantly change according to the refiner's thoughts.

At its highest temperature, it was equivalent to a top-tier fire-attribute Cultivation Technique; at its lowest, it was equivalent to a top-tier ice-attribute Cultivation Technique!

Within this range, the temperature of the Ziwei Indefinite Fire could be varied at will.

Furthermore, its form could shift between flame, mist, liquid, and ice, possessing infinite wonderful uses.

It was precisely because of this that the Ziwei Indefinite Fire could rank among the Xuan Grade Strange Fires!

"Tsk tsk, this is equivalent to mastering a top-tier dual-attribute Cultivation Technique. This is awesome!"

Su Lang's eyes lit up with joy, making the hair on An Xin's arms stand up as she watched from the side.

"*Cough.*"

An Xin coughed lightly, "It's not suitable to stay here for long. Let's head back."

"Mhm!"

Su Lang nodded and left the mountain valley crevice with An Xin.

Upon reaching the surface, An Xin used a key to restore the Formation to its original state before releasing a Spiritual Qi Aircraft, carrying Su Lang toward the city.

The Wolong Mountains returned to silence once more.

No one knew that a Martial Emperor Rank powerhouse with the attainments of a Pill Emperor had been smashed to pieces and reduced to ashes here.

In the evening, Su Lang and An Xin returned to the Xuanyuan Martial Arts Academy together.

At An Xin's residence within the academy—

—in an elegant courtyard, Su Lang and An Xin sat facing each other.

Before them were various Alchemy Manual Jade Slips, all of which Su Lang had obtained from Ou Wenyuan.

"Holy crap, using infants for Alchemy!?"

Su Lang tossed a Jade Slip to An Xin, "This is freaking even more cruel than Jing Qianyi's human pill refining!"

"Who is Jing Qianyi? human pill refining?"

An Xin asked curiously while disgustedly burning the Jade Slip.

"It's a method of refining Martial Artists with Top-grade Aptitude into Medicinal Pills to improve the Aptitude of wealthy children with poor Aptitude,"

Su Lang said indifferently, "Anyway, it's an evil Pill Refining Technique that harms others for personal gain and violates the heavens."

"So evil? Hand it over!"

An Xin frowned and extended her hand.

"Sure, here."

Su Lang readily tossed out Jing Qianyi's human pill refining manual. "I've already killed Jing Qianyi, and I had no intention of learning these Pill Refining Techniques."

"Nicely done!"

An Xin smiled brilliantly, then without even looking at the human pill manual, she set it ablaze.

"Alright, the evil Pill Refining Techniques have been cleared out. The rest are all considered orthodox Pill Refining Techniques."

Su Lang pushed the remaining Alchemy Manuals toward An Xin. "Please teach me these Pill Refining Techniques, Master."

In truth, Su Lang had already memorized all the Pill Formulas within these manuals.

Through the One-Click Pill Refining Function, he could easily refine Medicinal Pills of perfect quality.

However, to keep up appearances and avoid discouraging An Xin, Su Lang felt it was better to 'learn' a bit!

"Alright!"

"But I need to study these manuals first before I can teach you."

"Furthermore, the Path of Alchemy requires gradual accumulation. It's not a wise choice to start learning Advanced Pill Refining Techniques from the very beginning."

An Xin put away the manuals in front of her, then took out some others and smiled, "Come, let's start from the simple and move to the complex!"
