The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1634: Fire-giving Xiaodie

Chapter 1634: Fire-giving Xiaodie
Regarding Lin Chaoci's correspondence.

Xiaodie was completely unaware.

However, this cannot be blamed on her, because the exchange between the two realms is silent and unnoticed.

Moreover, Lin Chaoci's original body and his clone are exactly the same.

Only Lin Chaoci himself knows which one is the clone.

The characteristic of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" lies in this.

Besides calligraphy brushes.

Everything else is replicated in full scale.

To put it bluntly, Lin Chaoci's main body can kill an ordinary Dou Zong with a single palm strike, and Lin Chaoci's clone can also kill an ordinary Dou Zong with a single palm strike. Even if they are hit and injured, the blood that flows out is the same. However, the blood of the main body is real, while the blood of the clone is a fictional mixture of extraordinary energies such as soul power, internal force, magic power, and battle qi.

A key characteristic of extraordinary power is its idealism.

Therefore, for those powerful individuals with higher levels of expertise...

They can manipulate and modify everything at will.

For example, if their clothes are accidentally torn during a battle, they can create a new outfit for themselves by releasing supernatural energy.

Therefore, blood is not real.

But it looks just like the real thing.

To an outsider like Xiaodie.

To distinguish between the original body and the clone.

There is only one way: look at the brush.

But then again, the calligraphy brush is the foundation of Lin Chaoci's livelihood. Even people like Xiao Wu, Huang Rong, and Dongfang Huaizhu have never seen one, let alone Xiao Die, a maid who has never even had a physical relationship with him. Even if Lin Chaoci puts the calligraphy brush in front of her, she wouldn't be able to tell if it's real or fake.

There are countless calligraphy brushes in the world.

Who knows which one is true?

Moreover, Lin Chaoci entered a secret chamber when he broke through.

Xiaodie stood guard outside the door.

Even Lin Chaoci's figure could not be seen.

She had no idea what happened inside the secret room.

All that is known is that after young master Lin Chaoci went in, the door to the secret chamber closed, and after half a day, the door to the secret chamber opened again, and Lin Chaoci, who had already reached the level of a Great Dou Master, came out.

Therefore, Xiaodie rushed forward with great joy.

She hugged Lin Chaoci's arm.

He offered his heartfelt congratulations: "Congratulations, young master, on breaking through the bottleneck of the Battle Master realm!"

"Happy together."

Lin Chaoci laughed.

Pinch Xiaodie's little cheeks.

Then, one sentence immediately made Xiaodie's happy face fall: "When will you be able to break through in your cultivation level and alchemy skills?"

"This one……"

"Uh……"

Xiaodie stammered and couldn't say anything.

It's like a poor student being asked a question by the teacher.

Their guilty conscience couldn't be more obvious.

Xiaodie is not very talented in alchemy.

At least compared to her skill in swordsmanship, her alchemy skills were really mediocre.

Two years passed.

She had only reached the third rank.

In other words, it can be said that it can refine most grade three pills.

It's still a bit short of the fourth rank.

Even so, Lin Chaoci taught him step by step.

If she were to learn on her own, it's uncertain whether she could even reach the third rank, because the alchemy profession becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. First-rank alchemists are everywhere. In Zhongzhou, even cultivators whose main profession isn't alchemy can earn a first-rank alchemist badge and reputation simply by copying from a book once they reach the Douhuang realm.

The principle is simple.

It's a replica.

I'll train the same way others do.

Although it's rigid and offers no room for growth, the final result is the same. For someone who doesn't expect to make a living from this identity, but only treats this profession as a hobby, or needs this disguise, the above result is sufficient.

It's like an exam.

The goal is to achieve a higher score.

It doesn't matter whether you understand the question or not.

It's okay if you don't understand the options.

I'll write whatever everyone else writes, as long as the person I'm copying is good enough at studying and skilled enough, and the score and result I get are enough to give me a better future.

However, alchemists replicated in this way often only reach the second rank.

Because alchemists of the second rank or above cannot be achieved through simple replication. Not only is it a vast amount of knowledge involved, but the output and control of battle qi when using alchemy techniques are also extremely strict. It is far from being able to refine pills simply by controlling flames.

In addition, once they reach the second rank or above, many alchemists will mix different types of medicine.

That is, all the necessary medicinal materials are thrown into the alchemy furnace or cauldron at once, and then the flames are manipulated to refine each medicinal material separately. After that, all the refined medicinal liquids are combined together and quenched again. It can also be said that the liquid is reduced over a high flame before being taken out of the pot.

Simply observing the fluctuations of the flames and the output and control of battle aura is completely ineffective.

And those of the fifth rank and above.

The requirements for the total amount and quality of fighting spirit are extremely high.

In other words.

There are requirements regarding the alchemist's personal level of skill.

Having a low level of skill will affect the success rate.

Although alchemists who reach the fifth rank no longer need any special techniques, they can learn all the alchemy skills available on the market. As for skills that cannot be learned on the market, it depends on their luck or their comprehension. For example, the Spirit Ascension Method created by the old alchemist forcibly upgrades the grade of pills. This is the old alchemist's unique skill. No one can teach him it, but he still knows it because he developed this skill through his own exploration.

But at the level of fifth-grade pills.

The raw materials are all of very high quality.

There is no strange fire.

Use only ordinary flames or animal fire.

To melt these raw materials, the only option is to grind them with an excessive amount of battle qi.

It's like steelmaking and ironmaking.

Can steel be melted by using the temperature of iron smelting?

Obviously not.

Therefore, one must either choose a higher-quality exotic fire or pour oil into the fire to extend its burning time, like water dripping on stone, until the magic cores of those level-five magical beasts comparable to a Battle King, metal ores, rare and precious materials, various essences and blood, and even remains are completely melted before proceeding to the next step of fusing the elixir.

The process of finalizing the elixir takes place after that.

Therefore, a certain level of attainment is not a rigid indicator.

However, most alchemists are stuck by this standard.

Because most alchemists do not possess a different kind of fire.

Further up, every step reveals a new world.

Rank 6.

Rank 7.

Rank 8.

There is also the final ninth rank.

What matters most is the realm of one's soul.

It has little to do with cultivation level anymore.

Xiaodie was able to improve her alchemy skills to the third rank and refine third-rank pills. Although she had not yet successfully refined a fourth-rank pill and had only produced a failed pill, it was still a very good performance for her age, after all, her starting point was lower than others.

But the goal is to help her overcome this obstacle.

It's not that there's no way out.

"Go and absorb this strange fire." "I'll protect you."

Lin Chaoci took out a ball of transparent flame with a flick of his palm.

Xiaodie's eyes widened immediately.

Now, Xiaodie is at least the senior disciple of the Yunlan Sect, and she has been traveling around Zhongzhou with Lin Chaoci for several years, so her horizons have naturally been broadened.

I wouldn't presume to say I understand everything.

He dares to utter self-deprecating remarks even when he has only a slight understanding.

Moreover, she was merely a sword attendant, not a sword cultivator. She wouldn't scoff at anything other than a sword, much less disdain understanding it, and certainly wouldn't think she could roam the world with just a sword.

Furthermore, even if she is a sword cultivator.

There are many types of sword cultivators.

There are those who comprehend the ruthless way of the sword.

There are those who comprehend the Way of the Sword with Compassion.

There are also those who believe that anything in the world can be used as a sword.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a thing as a sword pellet.

Most sword cultivators are willing to learn about other things in this world, take their essence and discard their dross, integrate them into their own swordsmanship, turn them into nourishment, and improve their swordsmanship.

Xiaodie was no exception.

In addition, she is also an alchemist.

I've read quite a few books.

In just two or three seconds, he roughly guessed what the transparent flame in front of him was, and couldn't help but confirm, "Young Master, could this be the Fallen Heart Flame... the one ranked fourteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking?"

"You have good taste!"

"Yes."

"This thing is indeed the Fallen Heart Flame."

"Besides reducing your battle qi loss during alchemy and improving your control over flames, it also allows your battle qi to circulate automatically at all times to resist this strange fire, greatly increasing your cultivation speed."

"Although it's useless for those with too high a level of attainment."

"The upper limit of this thing is only Dou Zun."

"Because the strongest state of this thing in history is only comparable to Dou Zun. When facing Dou Sheng, it will be easily suppressed. Let alone increase the speed of cultivation, it will be forcibly suppressed and annihilated with a single swirling of Dou Qi."

"But for the present moment, it's more than enough."

Lin Chaoci spoke in a rather casual tone.

I disagree with this.

It seems they didn't take this strange fire, which would be fiercely sought after by outsiders, seriously, or rather, they didn't recognize its value.

But that's only what it seems.

The truth is, in Lin Chaoci's hands, this Fallen Heart Flame is really nothing special. There are countless strange flames that are more advanced than the Fallen Heart Flame. In fact, there are even strange flames that are natural counters to the Fallen Heart Flame, such as the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, which is specifically designed to burn battle qi, or the Void Devouring Flame, which can devour everything. In short, Lin Chaoci has all the strange flames that are natural counters to the Fallen Heart Flame. Not to mention that the Fallen Heart Flame can be recreated, and can be materialized by writing four characters with a brush, even without a brush, it cannot be materialized. Lin Chaoci would not treat this thing as a treasure, nor would he be stingy in keeping it in his hands. Even if he doesn't need it himself, he would never give it to his subordinates to improve their combat power.

Speaking of it.

This brings us to the rules governing different types of fire.

Apart from the fact that the first three strange flames are unique.

None of the other strange flames are unique.

Emperor Flame, which is the strange fire that was born after devouring all the other strange fires, took human form and called himself Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, ranking first.

Void Devouring Flame is the second oldest.

After devouring the patriarch of the Devouring Spirit Clan.

Their abilities have been further enhanced.

It can help cultivators improve the purity of their bloodline.

Of course, first you need to have a bloodline; if you don't, purification won't help.

This feature was very useful to the eight ancient tribes.

The Soul Clan was able to rank first among the eight ancient clans.

Possessing one nine-star Dou Sheng, four eight-star Dou Sheng, more than nine seven-star Dou Sheng, and a varying number of six-star and below Dou Sheng sufficient to contend with the combined forces of several other ancient families, the Soul Clan relies on the Void Devouring Flame to continuously enhance the bloodline grade of the Soul Clan.

To allow one generation of geniuses to rise smoothly.

And that doesn't even include the Void Devouring Flame itself.

After transforming into human form, Void Devouring Flame also reached the level of a Nine-Star Battle Saint. He had a cooperative relationship with Soul Emperor, but was not absolutely obedient to him.

Further down is the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

The top three different flames, when at their peak, could all reliably advance to the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm.

Starting from the fourth one, the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame.

All the way up to the tenth, the Nine Netherworld Flames.

As long as these strange flames can take form.

At its peak.

The starting point for cultivation is the Battle Saint realm.

Then comes the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh, and so on down to the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth. The peak strength of these strange flames ranges from a ninth-level Dou Zun to a one-star Dou Zun. In addition, their strength must be assessed a second time based on their growth status. For example, the Fallen Heart Flame in Lin Chao Ci's hand, if it were in its complete form, would be comparable to a sixth-level Dou Zun. But it is currently in its infancy. Not to mention a sixth-level Dou Zun, it would be unable to defeat even a six-star Dou Zun or a six-star Dou Zong. It is even uncertain whether it can burn a six-star Dou Huang to death.

In stark contrast to it.

It was that fallen heart flame in Canaan Academy.

Although that fallen heart flame had not yet reached adulthood.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will never reach adulthood in this lifetime.

But at least that fallen heart flame was in its youth.

His strength is comparable to that of a Dou Zong.

It takes Su Qian and others to suppress it.

In addition, there is the Fallen Heart Flame in the alternate dimension beneath the Burning Heaven Refining Tower. In its nascent state, based on the timeline, this Fallen Heart Flame hidden in the alternate dimension might not even be as strong as the Fallen Heart Flame that Lin Chaoci created himself. The upper limit is ultimately the upper limit, and it is inaccurate to use it to measure the lower limit.

Another example is Xiao Xun'er.

Could the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame at its peak be the same as the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame now stored in her body and being slowly refined by her?
Next comes the Strange Flame, comparable to a Dou Zong.

Like the fire at the heart of the earth, like a blue lotus.

After gaining consciousness and successfully transforming into human form, there is a high probability that he will become a Dou Zong.

It usually takes until after the twentieth digit.

Only then can the strength of a different kind of fire drop to the level of a Dou Huang.

Even the lowest-ranking Xuanhuang Flame, if it develops normally, can reach the level of a Dou Huang. To devour it, one must be a Dou Zong, because the defensive power of internal organs and external skin are two different concepts. Even if one can defeat Xuanhuang Flame from the outside, if a cultivator swallows Xuanhuang Flame and tries to refine it, Xuanhuang Flame can still impact the cultivator's meridians. Even a Dou Zong could suffer a qi deviation if they are careless. For a Dou Huang to try is even more likely to die. As for a Dou Wang who is not even a Dou Huang, it is obvious that he cannot defeat Xuanhuang Flame, let alone absorb it.

Lin Chaoci casually flicked out a Fallen Heart Flame.

It's the kind that's been domesticated.

This really shocked Xiaodie.

But Xiaodie isn't the kind of person who pretends to be modest.

If you want it, you want it.

If you don't want it, you just don't want it.

In the years she has followed Lin Chaoci, she has learned a great deal, but that does not mean she will forget her roots or the rules.

Nod.

He respectfully accepted the Fallen Heart Flame from Lin Chaoci with both hands.

Then, they entered the secret chamber where they were to remain in seclusion.

Sit cross-legged.

They began refining the Fallen Heart Flame.
