BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 - 54: Red Flame and White Flame
In the Elder Council Hall of the Scorching Sun Sect.
The higher-ups of the Scorching Sun Sect were gathered here with solemn expressions.
The Spiritual Master held the formation plate and carefully examined it again and again. His expression became more and more serious each time.
“How is it, Junior Brother? How does the structure of this formation plate compare to the structure of our Scorching Sun Sect?”
The Spiritual Master raised his head in silence, took a deep breath, and said with a hint of self-mockery, “This old man believes that he is unique in the structure of the Array Disk. Now that I have seen this Array Disk, I finally understand what it means to be better than others. May I ask which master made this Array Disk?”
“It was leaked from the Jian Chamber of Commerce’s shop in Floating Immortal City. It was said to be the work of a mysterious master. In order to obtain this set of Array Disks, I spent a lot of effort.” The elder in charge of business affairs replied.
“Jian Chamber of Commerce? The Jian Family does have a few good Array masters and Artifact masters, but there shouldn’t be anyone who is proficient in Array formations and Artifact Refinement at the same time, right?” The Spiritual Master frowned in confusion.
“He should be a newly recruited wandering cultivator expert.”
Sect Master Huyan Lie frowned and said, “Junior Martial Brother, you haven’t told me how the structure of this Array Disk is.”
The Spiritual Master looked at the Array Disk in his hand, shook his head, and sighed. “It’s much better than my structure.”
“How much…?”
“I’m afraid it’s a gap that I won’t be able to reach in my entire life,” the Golden Plate Spiritual Master said bitterly.
Hearing this, everyone present gasped.
“Surely not? What…?” Many elders didn’t believe this. “Senior Brother Jin Pan has been working hard on the formation plate structure for so many years. How could there be such a huge gap between them?”
“Master Jin Pan, do you have the confidence to understand the mysteries within?” Huyan Lie asked.
“There’s not much hope.” Elder Jin Pan shook his head in self-mockery.
“Damn it, where did the Jian Chamber of Commerce recruit such an expert?” The more Huyan Lie thought about it, the angrier he got. He immediately arranged for people to investigate the expert behind the Jian Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting hall was filled with discussions. The elder in charge of the business of Floating Immortal City said with a worried expression, “The problem now is what to do with my business? Ever since this Array Disk came out, our Array Disks can’t be sold anymore.”
“Lower the price.” Spiritual Master Jin Pan sighed.
“How much should 1 lower it?
■I
Slash it to the point of zero.
As soon as he said this, everyone present turned pale with fright.
For laymen like them who didn’t understand the structure of the Array Disk only the change in money could make them truly realize how terrifying the gap was.
“Uhh… Cut it in half?” The business elder of Floating Immortal City said incoherently, “Are you sure Senior Brother isn’t joking?”
The Spiritual Master shook his head and sighed bitterly. “Hurry up and clear the inventory. Otherwise, when the next batch of Array Disks arrives, we’ll have to continue cutting them in half.”
“Is it really that serious?” Sect Master Huyan Lie stood up in shock.
Other masters smiled bitterly and looked at the Array Disk in their hands, feeling confused about themselves and this world. “Such a powerful architecture, can it really be designed by humans?”
Only he understood the terrifying amount of calculation and brain power required to design such an architecture.
Over the years, he had invested almost all his energy and brain power into perfecting his own architecture.
However, the moment he saw this set of Array Disks, the fruits of his life’s hard work seemed so comical.
It was like how the fall of the company was not because it had done anything wrong, but simply because times had changed.
He really wanted to meet the master named [Alpha Dog] with his own eyes and humbly ask for advice.
However, the elders present did not think so. They were only concerned that the sect’s future income would be greatly reduced.
In Medicine Immortal Valley, Cheng Xu’s cave abode.
After producing ail the talismans and materials, Cheng Xu was not in a rush to go to Floating Immortal City. Instead, he cultivated in peace for a few days.
After all, his Array Disks were not famous and were sold at such a high price. They should not be sold out in a short period of time.
After a few days of cultivation, his cultivation had improved. Unfortunately, he was still quite a distance away from the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, he had unknowingly reached the third level of the [Blazing Sun Mystic Scripture].
A cluster of red flames condensed inside the red vital essence in his sea of vital
energy.
“Is this the Blazing True Fire produced after cultivating the Blazing Sun Mystic Scripture to the third level?”
Cheng Xu slowly raised his hand. Under the urging of his true essence, a crimson flame appeared in his palm. Whether it was the temperature or the power, it was far stronger than ordinary flames.
Most importantly, Cheng Xu could control every detail of the flame.
In the future, when he was refining medicine semi-automatic, he would be able to control the fire much more accurately.
Originally, it was just a small gain in cultivation.
Until a series of notifications popped up in front of him:
[True Fire detected. Spell theory meets the requirements. Do you want to fuse and refine it with existing fire-type spells?]
Cheng Xu was stunned.
What did that mean? He could even use the True Fire cultivated from the cultivation technique to fuse and refine skills?
To his surprise, Cheng Xu quickly chose to confirm.
Then, he turned on the cultivation computer to check. The optimization progress bar had already appeared above the White Flame True Technique, and he began to extract his Crimson True Fire from his sea of vital energy. The entire optimization process took a total of more than four hours.
“Looks like I’ll have to play with more fire-type spells in the future.”
While the White Flame True Secret Art was being optimized, Cheng Xu did not stay idle and prepared to head to Floating Immortal City.
Just as he was about to ride the wind and fly up ninety thousand miles, he heard a strange muffled sound coming from his master’s cave not far away. It was accompanied by a strange and familiar energy fluctuation.
“What’s going on? The furnace exploded?”
He rushed to Yuntai Zhenren’s cave dwelling with doubts, but the situation in front of him made him confused.
Daoist Master Yuntai wasn’t in the alchemy room. Instead, he was meditating and cultivating in his usual resting room. However, the room was already in a mess from the explosion. Fortunately, the power of the explosion was very weak.
“Strange, it still doesn’t work?” Yuntai Zhenren’s face was black from the explosion, and his hair was messy. He muttered thoughtfully.
He didn’t even notice Cheng Xu when he walked up to him.
“Master, what just happened?” Cheng Xu looked puzzled.
Yuntai Zhenren came back to his senses from his thoughts, and his fat face revealed some embarrassment. “I just felt that the principles of the medicinal technique mantra were more interesting, so I tried to imitate it, but the results were not very ideal.”
Cheng Xu was stunned.
Good heavens, his master was trying to develop a new medicinal technique mantra according to the principles of the medicinal technique mantra!
Although the potion mantra was only 250mb in size, the spell theory and pharmaceutical theory contained in it were simply terrifying.
And his master actually dared to create a brand new medicinal mantra.
Was he going to ascend to the heavens?
Most importantly, they had made some progress. Otherwise, where did the small explosion come from?
“Have you really understood the principles behind the mantra?” Cheng Xu asked in disbelief.
“I’ve basically understood the basic principles. It’s just that due to the limitations of my cultivation and the principles of the spell, many parts are still not perfect. But I’ve been studying the theory of spells recently,” Yuntai Zhenren said with a silly smile. “Maybe I can really come up with the third mantra of the true mantra of medicinal spells in the future.”
“Amazing, my master!” Cheng Xu couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.
Master was very confident in his attainments in the Dao of medicine, which was why he dared to make such an attempt.
“I’m just curious. Whether I can succeed is still a question. Right, what have you been up to recently, little guy?” Master Yuntai waved his hand and smiled. You can’t even see a person?”
“Disciple has been focusing on cultivation recently.”
“Is that so?” Yuntai Zhenren started preaching with a serious face. “I heard from your Martial Uncle Ma that you had previously inquired about the channels for refining materials from him. Moreover, you have been running to Floating Immortal City recently.”
Cheng Xu scratched his head in embarrassment. “I occasionally studied Refining Artifacts and talismans.”
“Don’t forget your identity as an alchemist,” Yuntai Zhenren said meaningfully, “With your talent in alchemy, you will definitely be able to go further than your master in the future. Don’t bury your talent.”
“Disciple will remember.”
On the way to the Floating Immortal City, the White Flame True Technique was optimized. The file size directly expanded from 21.5MB to 72mb. The increase could be said to be earth-shattering.
“Red and White Flames? Even the name has changed?”
Cheng Xu was secretly amazed as he felt the new technique in his mind.
While flying on his sword, he tried to cast the Red Flame and White Flame technique in his palm. The technique that was originally activated by true essence now required the Brilliant Red True Flame.
The flame in his hand was exactly the same as the new name.
The inner circle of the flame was crimson red, but the outer circle was a cold white. It looked very strange.
Out of curiosity, he threw the flame in his hand into the forest below.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a charred pit with a diameter of more than ten meters was blasted out of the dense forest below.
“F*ck!”
As a former slacker, Cheng Xu’s education level was limited.
Just a small ball of flame had such terrifying power. If he used all the Luminant Red True Fire, how powerful would it be?
It was no exaggeration to say that the Red Flame and White Flame were his strongest moves at the moment!
Just like that, with a heart full of joy, he rushed all the way to Floating Immortal City and changed his appearance with ease.
The moment he stepped into Floating Immortal City, he vaguely felt that the atmosphere in Floating Immortal City was not quite right. The cultivators on the streets were in groups of three to five and were discussing animatedly.
Cheng Xu was about to ask a passerby when he saw two familiar figures in the crowd ahead.
It was Yang Tianqi and the number one genius of the Cloud Sect, Yan Changfeng.
“Are you here to investigate the demonic cultivators?”
Because of his identity, Cheng Xu couldn’t go up and talk to him.
After watching the two of them walk away, he began to ask the passersby nearby.
If he didn’t ask around, he wouldn’t have known, but when he did, he was shocked. It turned out that Senior Fu Yunzi was about to come out of seclusion.
This was undoubtedly a huge piece of news for Floating Immortal City. Many people were guessing if Senior Fu Yunzi had already broken through to the Core Transformation Realm..
