Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 239: Why is the Burning Technique Burning?

"Although the Burning Technique was successful, his meridians were damaged. I'm afraid he will need to rest for several months."

A few days later, in a hidden cave, Yao Chen sighed to Xiao Yan, who had just woken up and was aching all over, "You are lucky, if it weren't for the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's ability to swallow strange fire, you would have been in real danger."

Xiao Yan swallowed a healing pill, then gave Yao Chen a forced smile and said in a hoarse voice: "It's good that it succeeded. The Burning Art has almost reached the intermediate level of the Profound Stage. Ahem." After just a few words, Xiao Yan couldn't help coughing due to qi deficiency. On his wrist, a small snake with colorful scales disguised as a bracelet was wrapped around it.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's miserable and weak appearance, turned his head to look at Jiang Lin who was sitting cross-legged silently nourishing the fire lotus in his abdomen, and sighed slightly: "You should talk less, slowly recover, take care of your meridians first, and then slowly practice. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You have passed the most dangerous period of practicing the Burning Art, which proves that the Burning Art does have unlimited possibilities. As long as you can continue to devour the strange fire, then there is no limit to your skills, and there is no limit to your talent."

"Ahem. Don't worry, teacher. I will." Xiao Yan, with cracked skin at the corners of his mouth, leaned weakly against the wall, wrapped in clothes, and gave Yao Chen a heart-breaking smile.

"Also, thank you Brother Lin for helping me at the critical moment." Xiao Yan looked at Jiang Lin, who was sitting cross-legged and entering a state of meditation, and expressed his gratitude. The latter, with his eyes closed, just shook his head slightly: "Your correct way to break the deadlock is the Seven-Colored Sky Devouring Python and the Alien Fire Azure Lotus. These two things can ensure that you can complete the swallowing of the Alien Fire within a safe limit. The crystal core should be used as a backup. Your meridians are damaged now, and a large part of the situation is because the Alien Fire Dou Qi and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire are constantly escalating and fighting, which makes the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire continue to expand."

"I have some insights into the upgrade ideas of the Burning Art you are practicing. Would you like to hear it?" Jiang Lin slowly opened his eyes, his bright red-gold eyes met Xiao Yan's somewhat turbid black eyes, and said seriously.

"You also know something about the Burning Art?" Yao Chen was slightly shocked when he heard that. He himself didn't even dare to practice this damn thing, but Jiang Lin knew about it?
"I know a little bit." Jiang Lin calmed down the fluctuations of fighting spirit in his body, and then said modestly to Yao Chen.

Xiao Yan asked curiously, "Ahem. Brother Lin, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to be so formal between us brothers."

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen are indeed not very distant with Jiang Lin now, except that they always like to "sneak" some things without informing Jiang Lin in advance. However, if Yao Chen encounters any important things in the future, he will have to ask Jiang Lin's opinion first, because Jiang Lin can always provide them with some different suggestions.

You know, a few days ago, when Yao Chen saw Xiao Yan using his crystal core qi to violently press down the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and enter the Burning Technique, he knew that both his master and his disciple were a little too "smart". Crystal core qi is useful, but it shouldn't be used indiscriminately like this! Now most of the injuries to Xiao Yan's meridians were caused by the sudden burst of crystal core qi!
The fire crystal core in Xiao Yan's body, as Xiao Yan continuously refined it day and night, raised the energy inside to the level of a high-star Grand Fighter. The fire crystal core was refined by Xiao Yan with strange fire, and the absorption efficiency was super high, and the charging speed was also very fast.

Then Xiao Yan forcibly used a quantity of crystal core fighting spirit that far exceeded what his realm could bear. While forcibly suppressing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, he also caused great damage to his body.

Jiang Lin nodded gently, then looked at Xiao Yan's body, a strange color flashed in his scarlet eyes: "The Burning Technique is a miraculous skill. The ability to devour strange fire gives it the potential for unlimited upgrades, which means that this skill may be a skill that can surpass the Heavenly Rank." "I still don't quite understand the logic of the Burning Technique, but do you know why when the Burning Technique devoured the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, which had been subdued, suddenly erupted in a powerful resistance?"

Faced with this question, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. This was indeed a question they had never thought about. At least, in Yao Chen's understanding, the Burning Art swallowing the strange fire to upgrade was originally a very dangerous process. As for why it was dangerous? Well, I haven't thought about it.

"Because... the Burning Technique devours the spirit of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire." A strange light flashed in the red-gold eyes, and Jiang Lin said this with a complicated expression.

Many people know that strange fire has spirits, but what are spirits? Spirit tools have spirits, so what are spirits?
"If you simply use the knowledge of alchemists to understand the spirit of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, you may only get a specious answer. But if you use the spiritual tools in the knowledge of tool refiners to understand it, then it will be much simpler and more profound."

"The spiritual weapon that weapon refiners have always pursued refers to a weapon that can carry the essence of heaven and earth. Just like some elixirs, when they reach a certain level, they will intercept a trace of heaven and earth's essence, thus generating spirits and giving birth to new life. In my opinion, the spirit of a spiritual weapon and the spirit of a strange fire are basically the same thing."

“So now you understand why the Burning Art can be upgraded by devouring the strange fire, right? Because the Burning Art devours the most core part of the strange fire, replenishes itself, and thus allows the Burning Art, which seems to have not changed at all, to achieve a qualitative change from the yellow level to the mysterious level.” As Xiao Yan and Yao Chen looked enlightened, Jiang Lin proposed a brand new concept to them.

Jiang Lin looked at Yao Chen's bewildered expression, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in confusion: "Have you never thought about why the skills are upgraded? Why does the strange fire resist? Why is it that after the strange fire is swallowed, it is as easy as using an arm to control it, and there is no resistance at all?"

"Uh..." Yao Chen's old face turned red when he was asked this question. He couldn't help coughing twice and said in a stretched voice: "Uh, I have never practiced before, so I don't know if it's normal."

Jiang Lin asked a series of whys, which made Yao Chen's aura weaken a lot, and he even looked much shorter in front of Jiang Lin.

Because he had never thought about these questions. Anyway, the book said that swallowing strange fire could upgrade, so he subconsciously accepted this idea without any doubt. Of course, it’s not questioning, anyway, he didn’t think about why.

".Ahem, then according to Brother Lin's thinking, is it possible to use the strange fire as the source to forge a spiritual weapon that cannot be forged in this world?" Xiao Yan asked the question breathlessly. Compared to Yao Chen, he was more receptive to Jiang Lin's thinking.
