Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Twelve Divine Flames_1

"Many, but for an alchemist, you only need to master twelve kinds of Divine Fire. They are—Wenwu Sacred Fire, Samadhi True Fire, Solar Red Flame, Taiyin Cold Fire, Death Dark Flame, Myriad Spirit Flame, Heavenly Punishment Destructive Flame, Reincarnation Tian Huo, Chaos Ancient Fire, Life God Flame, Zhou Guang Demon Fire, and Destruction Intense Flame!"

Yang Dan Lin replied, "I must remind you that it is impossible to fully control these flames because each Divine Fire is a kind of Martial Soul, and no one can fully possess twelve Martial Souls. Thus, most alchemists simply make use of these flames."

"Also, even if used, it’s usually only possible to obtain the Wenwu Sacred Fire and the Samadhi True Fire. The other ten, to be honest, even I have never truly seen, only read about in books."

In the next two days, Ling Xiao took note of the several books introduced by Yang Dan Lin, including "Fire Mastery Technique," and digested and understood their contents.

However, there was a problem—understanding "Fire Mastery Technique" was one thing, but practical operation was required to control the flame.

Yang Dan Lin’s suggestion was to start with ordinary fire.

Ordinary fire could also be used for pill making and medicine preparation, but only with materials under a hundred years old. The process of controlling ordinary fire was largely similar to that of the twelve kinds of Divine Fire.

It was just more simple.

Moreover, controlling ordinary fire did not require the cooperation of a Martial Soul.

Ling Xiao took only a shichen to condense a "Flame Seed" within his body.

The Flame Seed resembled a small flame and was located in the martial artist’s Dantian. Generally, only Alchemists and Pharmacologists possessed it.

What the Flame Seed could eventually grow into depended on the alchemist’s final achievements.

Generally speaking, the larger the Flame Seed, the greater the alchemist’s achievements. It is said that in the Ancient Era, some top alchemists’ Flame Seeds could grow into Solar Seeds, with internal flames like a blazing sun, extremely powerful.

Of course, this was not the strongest. After all, a seed is just a seed. Some alchemists speculated in their writings that a Solar Seed could eventually transform into a real sun.

Although this was only speculation, it followed a certain pattern and was not made up without basis.

Ling Xiao was very much looking forward to the future of this Flame Seed. His current Flame Seed was merely about an inch big, so small it seemed like it might extinguish at any moment, even dimmer than the light of a candle.

However, with the Flame Seed, pill-making would become much more efficient; this was a certainty.

When Yang Dan Lin heard that Ling Xiao had condensed a Flame Seed in just two days, his old face showed both joy and astonishment as if twisted by conflicting emotions he couldn’t quite express.

"In that case, since you have already condensed a Flame Seed, starting from tomorrow, you will learn Alchemy with Lan Yu’er—remember, watch her every action carefully. Although Lan Yu’er’s skill in Alchemy isn’t as mature as mine, her talent is very high, so her fundamentals are extremely solid. Learning from her will be beneficial for you."

Yang Dan Lin was indeed too busy on regular days, and the alchemy methods he currently practiced were very complex. It wasn’t appropriate to have a beginner learn from them.

Lan Yu’er was considered a transitional guide, a reasoning Ling Xiao obviously understood.

Entrusted by Yang Dan Lin, Lan Yu’er expressed neither complaints nor a hint of refusal.

This was very surprising to Yang Dan Lin; after all, alchemy techniques and medicinal methods were the proprietary secrets of an Alchemist or Pharmacologist.

Many things could not be disclosed to anyone other than one’s own disciples, and even when teaching one’s disciples, it was common to hold back some secrets.

After all, the saying ’teach the apprentice, starve the master’ happened often enough.

Yet, Lan Yu’er held nothing back with Ling Xiao.

According to her, Ling Xiao’s aptitude in the medical field was clearly stronger than hers, and it was natural for her to want to cultivate such talent vigorously.

However, Yang Dan Lin was an old fox with extensive experience, and he caught a certain look in Lan Yu’er’s eyes.

But since Lan Yu’er hadn’t spoken up, it wasn’t his place to point it out; for the time being, he would leave things as they were.

In the following days, Ling Xiao spent his days learning the techniques and intricate processes of alchemy from Lan Yu’er.

At night, he continued his own cultivation.

Of course, what others didn’t know was that there would always be two avatars in his cave dwelling persisting in their cultivation; although not as fast as his main body, they didn’t waste any time.

His Martial Soul Avatar, in the Mountain and River World, was trying and perfecting the alchemy techniques learned from Lan Yu’er, gradually absorbing and eventually making them his own.

Although Dai Yuling was Lan Yu’er’s disciple, she did not get as much attention from her.

After all, Dai Yuling’s main focus wasn’t alchemy or alchemist, but the cultivation of medicinal herbs.

Dai Yuling’s Martial Soul was very special; every time she successfully cultivated medicinal herbs, her cultivation level increased, and the more unique and excellent the herbs, the quicker the improvement.

This completely compensated for her lack of martial arts aptitude, to Lan Yu’er’s great surprise.

Dai Yuling had also reached the early stages of a Martial Master of Ninth Layer Martial Pulse, and her cultivation was still making rapid progress.

Ling Xiao almost monopolized most of Lan Yu’er’s time every day; he didn’t attempt to practice himself because his Martial Soul Avatar had already tried everything.

What the Martial Soul Avatar learned belonged to him, without a doubt.

During the learning process, Ling Xiao often raised questions that greatly surprised Lan Yu’er.

Because these were questions that even she had not noticed, or even if she had, she’d been unable to solve them.

In the end, Lan Yu’er discovered, to her astonishment, that the common alchemy techniques had been perfected by Ling Xiao, turning her into the one asking questions and learning from him instead.

Afterward, Lan Yu’er began to teach Ling Xiao her unique alchemy techniques.

Her unique techniques were no simpler than Yang Dan Lin’s, and some ideas were even more outstanding than his.

However, even so, Ling Xiao was able to learn them with ease under the state of Soul Entry.

And it was not just memorizing, his Martial Soul Avatar had already tried many things for him.

Even unique techniques had their flaws, which was something Lan Yu’er couldn’t avoid; she used her powerful abilities to minimize mistakes, but it was a method difficult to disseminate.

Ling Xiao then listed these flaws one by one and shared his own insights, causing Lan Yu’er to be utterly shocked.

It could even be said that she was somewhat disheartened.

But soon, she pushed that feeling of disheartenment aside.

Because in the mutual learning with Ling Xiao, her alchemy skills and knowledge of medicinal properties advanced rapidly, improving at a tremendous rate.

Many previously obscure aspects became clear to her after Ling Xiao’s casual hints.

Now she wasn’t even sure who was the teacher and who was the student anymore.

Lan Yu’er genuinely felt that her decision to teach Ling Xiao everything without reservation was the right one, as he not only met her expectations but also brought her endless benefits.

Medicinal pills that were previously impossible for her to refine, Lan Yu’er had now found methods to do so.

She felt that if this continued, aside from perhaps a slight deficiency in experience, she would soon surpass Yang Dan Lin in all other aspects.
