Feeling the secrets of the pill fire that suddenly appeared in his mind, he was slightly stunned and then closed his eyes.
This secrets of the pill fire were not like a mental cultivation method or a spell. It would not be recorded on the interface, but it was indeed imprinted in his mind.
The so-called condensing the pill fire was not a spell or mental cultivation method. It was just a flame formed by endlessly compressing the fire attribute true essence.
This kind of flame was extremely terrifying. Its lethality was no less than a spell, and it could even burn spiritual power and true essence.
The pill fire was divided into four stages.
The first stage was called initial combustion. As the name implied, it meant that the pill fire had just been condensed and was unstable in all aspects. It could be used to set fire to a mountain, but was it used to refine pills? It was 100% explosive.
The second stage was called solid flame. In this stage, the pill fire had completely stabilized. Although it could not be used to attack, it could be used to refine pills.
The third stage was called everflame. At this stage, the pill flame was not only used to refine pills. It had even become an attacking method for alchemists. Wherever the pill flame passed by, not a blade of grass would grow. It would burn everything.
Xiao Qian’s pill flame, his master, was at this stage.
As for the fourth stage, it was called xin flame. The pill flame at this stage was still unknown. Even Xiao Qian himself was exploring in this direction.
However, he had been stuck at the third stage for nearly ten years, yet he still had not found a breakthrough. Hence, his cultivation was still lagging behind by a lot.
Otherwise, why would he, Xiao Qian, only have the cultivation of the advanced core formation stage, level 12?
“How is it? Do you understand the method of condensing the pill fire?”
Hearing this, Su Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qian as he gently nodded.
The first stage of condensing the pill fire was nothing more than endlessly compressing the fire attribute true essence in the qi center until the fire came out.
That was the initial burning stage of the pill fire.
From the first stage to the second stage, one had to free this pill fire from the meridians of the entire body. It had to adapt to the other party, and in the end, their minds would be linked. This process might be a little painful, but at the same time, there would be some danger.
If one’s own body was not compatible with the fire attribute, one might even self-immolate.
As for the third stage, it was to truly turn the pill fire into inferno. Only then would one be able to burn everything.
The fourth stage, unknown.
After seeing him nod his head, three things appeared in Xiao Qian’s hand. They were a token and two scrolls.
He looked at Su Yi and said indifferently, “This is the disciple token of the Spirit Firmament Sect’s Pill Cloud Peak. With this disciple token, you can go to any place except some forbidden places in the sect.”
Su Yi took the token and saw that the token was bronze in color. There was a strange aura emitting from it. There was a spirit word engraved on the front and a pill word engraved on the back.
Then, the other party handed the two scrolls to him.
When he took the scrolls, Su Yi’s eyes suddenly flashed with joy. This was because the two scrolls that Xiao Qian gave him were actually two one-sided scrolls.
That’s right, they were the core formation realm one-sided scrolls that Su Yi was somewhat yearning for.
Golden origin pill and solid origin pill.
“Master, you are…”
He asked doubtfully. Although he was very happy in his heart, he had clearly shown that his strength was only at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm. The other party gave him the pill formula of the core formation realm. Could it be that he was testing him?
Xiao Qian smiled slightly and said in a low voice.
“Isn’t this what you want?”
!!
A trace of shock flashed through his eyes. Could it be that this master of his had discovered his true strength?
That was not right. Xiao Qian was only at the late stage of the core formation realm. The other peak masters were all nascent soul experts and had not seen through it. How could this master of his see through it?
“Master, what do you mean by this? I haven’t reached my cultivation yet, so I can’t refine this single recipe.”
“Is it really because you haven’t reached the cultivation stage yet?”
Xiao Qian looked straight at Su Yi. There was a playful look in his eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile.
Seeing Xiao Qian like this, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, ‘this isn’t good.’
I really can’t be seen through by this seemingly gentle and refined man in front of me, right?
That’s not right. Didn’t Dugu Jiu swear that he wouldn’t be detected?
After knowing what Su Yi was thinking, Dugu Jiu, who had the same thoughts as Su Yi, replied in his mind.
“Master, this concealment technique is only able to avoid being detected by the array formation. As for facing cultivators, it’s still up to Master to hide himself.”
“…”
At this moment, Su Yi was dumbfounded. Why did he not say this earlier? What would he do now?
The other party’s appearance clearly showed that they knew his true cultivation. Would he be locked up as a spy?
Seeing that Su Yi did not speak for a long time, Xiao Qian smiled and said.
“Don’t be nervous. Since I’ve accepted you as my disciple, i naturally won’t do anything to you. As an alchemist, and having been immersed in this path for decades, I’m naturally extremely sensitive to true origin spiritual energy. Even if you conceal it well, I can still sense your true realm.”
“Your current realm should be at the core formation realm, right? Mm, although I can’t sense how many levels it is.”
Hearing this, Su Yi’s entire body softened. As expected, everything about him had been seen through.
Thinking of this, he did not suppress his aura anymore. An aura of the early stage of the core formation realm rose slightly.
“Master, this disciple is indeed at the early stage of the core formation realm, but among these…”
He wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Xiao Qian waving his hand.
“There’s no need to explain. With your talent, I think it’s impossible for you to be a spy sent by other sects.”
“However, nothing is absolute. Even though I believe in you, it does not mean that the other elders will believe in you. Therefore, it is best for you to try your best to restrain yourself in front of others.”
“As for my Pill Cloud Peak, there is no need to hide it like this.”
After hearing Xiao Qian’s words, he let out a long sigh of relief and his entire body relaxed.
Indeed, with his current cultivation, if Xiao Qian wanted to do anything to him, he would not be able to resist. Since the other party believed in him, there was no need for him to hide anything in the other party’s eyes.
After which, Xiao Qian chased him out of the large hall, leaving behind only one sentence.
“Your master is tired. Go to a cave abode at the foot of the peak to look for your senior brother Jiang Ping. He will bring you to familiarize yourself with our Pill Cloud Peak.”
As the door of the large hall slowly closed, Su Yi held the two scrolls in his hands and was stunned for a moment. After which, he rose into the air and headed down the peak to look for his senior brother Jiang Ping.
After Su Yi left, the doors of the great hall slowly opened again. Xiao Qian was standing in front of the door. His gaze was looking at the distant main peak, and there was an indescribable emotion flashing in his eyes.
After that, he softly sighed and muttered to himself.
“This year’s Spirit Firmament Sect is really troubled. I hope that in the end, you won’t disappoint me.”
