Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 466 Illusory Sea Flame, Beautiful Master
From a distance, the fireworks appear to ripple gently like flowing water.

Around the stone platform, a white light barrier was set up to conceal the flames.

"This fire is called the Illusionary Sea Flame, which was obtained from the body of the sixth-tier magical beast, the Sea Heart Illusionary Beast."

Yunyun stood with her hands behind her back, her breasts high and full, her waist slender and delicate, her curvaceous figure quite eye-catching.

"It is said that the Sea Heart Beast is the companion magical beast of the Sea Heart Flame, which ranks fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking."

"Therefore, this Illusory Sea Flame is also related to that strange fire."

"Although it is not a strange fire, because it is born with the Sea Heart Flame, the power of this flame is incomparable to ordinary beast fire."

"A beast fire that is associated with the Sea Heart Flame? I didn't expect this beast fire to be so extraordinary."

Jin Renfeng exclaimed in admiration.

He naturally knew something about the fire that accompanied the strange fire.

Although this fire still falls under the category of beast fire, due to its close relationship with other fires and its influence, its power is incomparable to that of beast fire.

Even when facing strange fire, it has an extremely strong resistance.

For example, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire has a companion beast fire called the Heavenly Cold Fire.

In the original work, when the alchemist who possessed the Heavenly Cold Flame fought against the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, which ranked twelfth on the Strange Flame List, he did not collapse at the first touch, but maintained the battle for a long time.

This is enough to demonstrate the power of this type of beast fire.

"I remember that the Sea Heart Flame is now in the hands of Han Feng, who betrayed Yao Lao and betrayed his master."

"This beast fire is related to the Sea Heart Flame. If I'm not mistaken, it should have come from Han Feng."

"By this time, Han Feng should have already arrived in the Black Corner Region. If he's selling, the auction should also take place in the Black Corner Region."

"It seems that Master must have made a special trip to the Black Corner Region to buy this strange fire."

Jin Renfeng pondered this in his heart.

The Black Corner Region is located at the intersection of the Gama Empire and two other countries. Due to its border location, it is considered a no-man's-land.

There were no laws or regulations there; it was a truly chaotic area. Murder and robbery were commonplace.

Even if a Dou Huang level expert were there, safety could not be guaranteed.

To purchase treasures from there, the master will surely have to go through a bloody battle.

"For the sake of a mere beast fire, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect braved dangers and traveled thousands of miles to the Black Corner Region."

"What a great teacher!"

Looking at the beautiful woman beside him, Jin Renfeng sighed inwardly.

In the original novel, in order to improve Nalan Yanran's strength, Yun Yun even ventured alone into the Monster Mountain Range and fought a battle against the sixth-tier monster, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

It's not surprising that he would make a trip to the Black Corner Region for him now.

Knowing how rare this beast fire was, Jin Renfeng turned around and bowed to the woman.

"Thank you, Master, for your hard work!"

"You are my disciple. It is only natural for me to consider this matter for you!"

Yun Yun smiled and reached out to rub the boy's forehead.

Feeling the soft touch of her hands and the sweet fragrance of her breath, Jin Renfeng's heart fluttered as he gazed at his master's beautiful face.

"Such a beautiful master, it's such a pity that Xiao Yan got the better deal!"

"Let's think of a way to prevent the two of them from meeting!"

. . . . . . . . . .

Quiet room!
Jin Renfeng sat cross-legged on a futon, with a tall stone platform placed in front of him.

The deep blue firelight reflected on his face.

In order to refine the beast fire, he specially booked a private meditation room to complete the process of absorbing the beast fire.

He stroked the storage ring, and two jade bottles immediately flew out of it.

Now that he had decided to refine the beast fire, he naturally prepared the necessary materials in advance.

"Fourth-grade pills: Golden Crystal Pill, and fourth-grade pills: Ice Spirit Liquid!"

"With these two kinds of pills, we should have more than enough to devour this beast fire."

Jin Renfeng counted the pills in his hand and murmured.

The strange fire is extremely powerful, and one needs to prepare a fifth-grade or higher elixir for protection when devouring it in order to have a chance.

For mere beast fire, there's no need to go through so much trouble; a third-grade pill is sufficient.

However, just to be on the safe side, Jin Renfeng specially prepared two kinds of fourth-grade pills.

everything's ready!
Jin Renfeng enveloped his palm with his fighting spirit and took the crystal from the stone platform.

Without the shield of light from the stone platform, the heatwave immediately enveloped the entire space. The blue flame, which was originally only the size of a fist, instantly rose to a height of ten feet.

Despite the intense heat, Jin Renfeng remained unfazed.

Although the host of this beast fire was at least a sixth-order magical beast, its original body was dead after all.

Without the support of its host, even if it still has magic crystal energy to maintain its origin, it is just an empty shell.

Within his dantian, the battle qi vortex spun wildly, generating a devouring force. Like a whirlwind, it drew the blue flames into his body.

Soon, all the beast fire outside was absorbed and went into Jin Renfeng's meridians.

Within the meridians, the blue flames seemed to sense the danger. They immediately began angrily assaulting the surrounding battle qi energy. Each impact burned large swaths of battle qi energy into nothingness.

Within the vortex, a continuous stream of battle qi was being channeled out. No matter how the blue flames burned, they could not escape the blockade of the battle qi.

"The first step has been successfully completed. The next step is to refine the beast fire!"

Jin Renfeng murmured, then focused his attention and swallowed the Golden Crystal Pill without hesitation.

Although battle qi can withstand the scorching heat of flames, the high temperature it brings is still quite unbearable.

Only by using elixirs to protect the meridians can one be safe.

The moment the Golden Crystal Pill entered the mouth, it transformed into a warm, gentle current. It quickly rolled down the throat and then passed through the body.

Finally, under the control of his mind, he enveloped all the meridians in his body with a thin golden film.

With the membrane acting as a barrier, the burning sensation in the meridians gradually disappeared.

With the help of the Golden Crystal Pill, Jin Renfeng felt much more at ease. He immediately followed the cultivation technique's route, carrying the Illusionary Sea Flame along his meridians.

His battle qi was consumed extremely quickly by the burning blue flames. However, after four months of training, he had now reached the level of an eight-star Great Battle Master.

With the added boost from the Earth-rank cultivation technique, this level of consumption is not a concern at all.

Time passed slowly, and everything within the body proceeded in an orderly manner amidst the tense atmosphere.

However, after using his battle qi to envelop the purple flame and gradually circulate it through nearly half of its meridians, Jin Renfeng's expression became somewhat solemn.

Because the flames were so powerful, the thin film formed by the Golden Crystal Pill was weakened by more than half in a short period of time, leaving only a thin layer.

The scorching heat returned.

Feeling the scalding heat within his meridians, Jin Renfeng raised his hand and swallowed the icy liquid.

As soon as the Ice Spirit Liquid was swallowed, a chill immediately surged from within the abdomen, enveloping the meridians throughout the body.

On top of the already extremely thin golden film, another layer of cold air film was added.

With the help of this cold air, the high temperature slowly disappeared again.

"This Illusionary Sea Flame truly lives up to its reputation! I never expected that even a fourth-grade Golden Crystal Pill would be unable to withstand it."

"Luckily, I was prepared!"

Jin Renfeng said with relief.

Meridians are located inside the body; if they are damaged, even a person will find it difficult to recover.

Therefore, he naturally had to be extra careful. With the Ice Spirit Liquid protecting him, he had no more worries. He immediately began to fully utilize the battle qi that enveloped the Illusionary Sea Flame, frantically circulating it through his meridians.

As the battle qi, enveloping the blue flame, circulated within his cultivation meridians, Jin Renfeng suddenly noticed that the leading wisp of battle qi and blue flame had begun a strange fusion!
"Although the description of the Flame Devouring Technique is somewhat exaggerated, its ability to devour beast fire is truly undeniable."

Jin Renfeng's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself.

Seeing signs of successful fusion, he did not stop and continued to drive the flow of battle qi.

The speed of the battle qi flowed faster and faster, and more and more flames were incorporated into the battle qi.

Just as the bright yellow battle aura and the illusory sea flame were about to pass through the final cultivation meridian, they had almost completely merged into one. The originally bright yellow battle aura had now completely transformed into a deep blue color.

Moreover, above the surface of the blue battle aura, deep blue flames rose, flowing like water.

However, at this point, the blue flames would no longer cause any damage to the meridians!

"We finally succeeded!"

Looking at the battle qi that had turned blue, Jin Renfeng nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, he guided the battle qi to complete the final cycle and flow into his dantian.

It's like ink being dropped into clear water.

As more and more battle qi, having absorbed the Illusionary Sea Flame, triumphantly surged out of the meridians, the color of the vortex gradually changed from bright yellow to deep blue.

In the end, even the rhombus-shaped crystal turned into a deep blue color.

The swirling vortex in his lower abdomen suddenly stopped. Then it stood still.

Jin Renfeng slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face.

He raised his hand, and a blue flame immediately surged from his palm.

A scorching heat wave rose up.

"Excellent! Judging by its power, it's far stronger than ordinary battle fire!"

Jin Renfeng was delighted as he sensed the flame in his hand.

In the world of fox spirits, he was an expert at playing with fire, and now that he had obtained another kind of flame, he was able to handle it with ease.

He conjured various shapes with flames in his hands, such as whips, spikes, and flying swords, until he was satisfied, and then he dispelled the flames.

"I've got the flame. I wonder how my battle aura is now."

Jin Renfeng then thought of the battle qi that had transformed into deep blue.

He was also quite curious about the effects of absorbing the flames.

Gathering his fighting spirit in his arm, Jin Renfeng walked to a training target and punched it.

boom--

With the enhancement of fighting spirit, the iron target immediately developed a dent several feet deep.

"The nature of my battle qi has become much stronger, and the speed at which I can absorb the energy of heaven and earth has also become much faster."

"It seems that after absorbing the flames, the technique was strengthened, just like the Burning Technique."

Jin Renfeng's eyes were bright.

Ultimately, the beast fire was somewhat weaker and could not reach the level of a mid-level Earth Rank.

"However, among low-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques, the Flame Devouring Technique should be considered top-tier at present."

After summarizing his gains from devouring the beast fire, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but feel satisfied.

His combat strength is now at least 20% stronger than before. Moreover, the benefits of the Devouring Beast Fire Enhancement Technique will continue to grow in the future.

"This ability to devour flames not only strengthens battle qi, but also retains the original power of the flames it transforms."

A flame flickered from Jin Renfeng's fingertips, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

"Perhaps it can be used on Pure Yang Flame."

In the world of fox spirits, although his talent for controlling fire was unparalleled, he was never able to fully master the Pure Yang Flame due to his bloodline.

Therefore, it is also unable to unleash the full power of this demon-slaying divine fire.

"If one could devour the pure Yang Flame and integrate it into one's cultivation technique, just like one devours a strange fire, perhaps one could master the power of its flames, just like a strange fire."

Jin Renfeng murmured.

Over the years, Jin Renfeng has tried many methods, but whether it is analyzing the cultivation method with the Samsara Mirror or directly copying the Qi Source Flow, he can only copy the form, but cannot copy its power.

While this method of devouring flames is crude, it can directly absorb the power of flames. Perhaps it can bypass the limitations of the energy of heaven and earth, allowing him to directly control the power of pure Yang Flame.

After careful consideration, Jin Renfeng felt that this method was quite feasible.

"You can give it a try!"

However, if one wants to devour pure Yang Flame, relying solely on the ability of this Flame Devouring Technique to devour beast fire is probably not feasible.

Pure Yang Flame is one of the most powerful divine flames in the fox demon world, and its power is probably no less than that of a different kind of flame. Absorbing it requires more than just ordinary beast fire techniques.

"We still need to get our hands on a technique that can devour strange flames."

Jin Renfeng's thoughts were in flux.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to copy the Burning Technique."

He once again considered using the incineration method.

On the Dou Qi Continent, apart from the Burning Technique, most cultivation techniques that can devour different flames are around the Heaven Rank.

In comparison, since he possessed the Mirror of Reincarnation, he naturally chose the Burning Technique, which was easier to replicate.

. . . . . . . . . .

Outside the quiet room, two figures were waiting at the door.

Yunyun paced back and forth.

Two delicate hands unconsciously intertwined.

Although it was only beast fire that was refined, its power was still extremely terrifying.

She couldn't help but feel worried that her own disciple was going to refine such a dangerous item.

squeak-

The door opened, and Jin Renfeng walked out.

Yun Yun quickly turned her gaze and looked the boy up and down. Seeing that he was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Human Phoenix, how is it? Have you refined the beast fire yet?"

Seeing his master's worried gaze, Jin Renfeng felt a warmth in his heart and smiled.
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face.

"I was worried that you wouldn't be able to suppress the beast fire, but it seems I was overthinking it."

"That's right, with my talent, what's a mere beast fire compared to that!"

Jin Renfeng laughed smugly.

"You little rascal, you get all cocky after achieving a little success!"

Yun Yun rolled her eyes at the boy, annoyed.

Jin Renfeng chuckled and didn't refute.

"At the age of fifteen, he mastered real fire, refined fourth-grade pills, and broke through to become a formal fourth-grade alchemist."

"This is truly unprecedented!"

Yunling exclaimed in amazement.

"There has never been such a person in the entire history of the Gama Empire."

"Elder Yunling, please stop praising this lad!"

Yun Yun narrowed her beautiful eyes and said,
"Given this kid's personality, if you praise him any more, he'll just get cocky."
