Chapter 561 Successful Devour

After the last wisp of gaseous battle qi was released, Jing Chen hesitated slightly before starting to draw out liquid energy from the vortex, directing it to wrap around the cyan magma strip and drag it along with all his might.

The liquid energy within the cyclone was indeed a level higher than gaseous energy. A tiny drop of purple liquid actually withstood the burning of the strange fire for about twenty seconds before it was gradually and completely evaporated.

Seeing the remarkable effects of the purple liquid energy, Jing Chen's spirits lifted. Ignoring everything else, he began to extract the liquid energy from the cyclone drop by drop, then drove the cyan magma bar on its final journey.

When only three drops of purple liquid energy remained within the cyclone, the cyan magma finally emerged from the last energy channel of the Burning Technique.

As the last meridian emerged from the cyan magma, Jing Chen's head, which had been almost numb from the excruciating pain, suddenly felt a faint coolness, which restored his composure.

At this moment, after the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame passed through the cultivation route of the Burning Technique, the extremely destructive high temperature it released suddenly slowly subsided. After a moment, the high temperature almost completely subsided into the lava, the rage faded, and a trace of gentleness faintly emanated.

"Did it work?"

Inside the cave, Yao Lao looked at Jing Chen, whose body was almost entirely devoid of intact skin, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. His face was filled with a gratified smile. He nodded slightly, flicked his finger, and the small spirit-gathering device on the stone surface turned into a gray wisp and shot straight into Jing Chen's body.

As the spirit entered Jing Chen's body, in an instant, a blinding blue flame shield shot out from within Jing Chen's body, enveloping him completely. The blazing blue flames on it blocked all outside vision.

Gazing at the suddenly appearing azure flame shield, Yao Lao smiled slightly and murmured, "What a terrifying little fellow! He actually withstood the pain of being tempered by the strange fire. Remarkable."

Inside the spacious cave, a blue flame, like an egg, enveloped the boy. The churning blue flames seemed to proclaim that he was about to emerge from his cocoon and become a butterfly.

Inside the cave, a blue light barrier emitted intense heat, and flames surged violently on its surface, making it difficult for outsiders to clearly see what was happening inside.

Suspended in mid-air, Yao Lao gazed at the azure flame shield, letting out a slight sigh of relief. His tense face gradually relaxed. Now that they had reached this stage, the plan to refine the strange fire should have at least a 70% success rate. Next, as long as Jing Chen could absorb the reported Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame into his Spirit Absorption Vessel, then the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame would completely become his primordial fire seed.

"Once he completes the process of refining the fire seed, the next step will be to use the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to evolve the Burning Technique. With the energy intensity of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the Burning Technique will probably be able to directly leap to the Profound Rank, right?" Yao Lao said with a smile.

With a soft chuckle, the old apothecary remained silent once more, and with his stillness, the cave gradually fell into silence. A cool mountain breeze blew in from the cracks in the cave walls, dispelling the sweltering air within.

Inside the cave, a perfectly round flame shield emitted a faint blue light, its surface rippling like green water.

Within the protective light barrier, Jing Chen sat cross-legged on the green lotus, seemingly in a state of unconscious profundity. His mind, exhausted from previously struggling against the green lotus's core fire, drifted aimlessly within him, unable to find a stable focus.

While Jing Chen was in this dazed and semi-conscious state, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that was slowly flowing through his meridians suddenly began to circulate uncontrollably along the meridian pathways.

At this moment, perhaps because it had been refined by Jing Chen earlier, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame no longer released that terrifying high temperature. Instead, it became somewhat cool. As it flowed along the meridians, strands of fine azure magma separated from it and finally clung to the meridian walls, which had been damaged to the point of almost losing their ability to contain battle qi. With a slight wriggling motion, it actually gradually melted into the four walls of the meridians.

As the turquoise magma, swirling with faint flames, entered the meridians, the meridians, which had been twisted like dried-up twisted dough sticks, slowly unfurled, like grass blades encountering water in the desert.

The countless meridians within were all making excited noises at this moment. The blue magma liquid left behind by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was being rapidly devoured by the constantly expanding meridians at a terrifying speed.

As the meridians greedily devoured the substance, the grayish-white color gradually faded from them, replaced by a vibrant pale blue.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame flowed along each meridian, revitalizing the withered ones it passed through. Cracked bones and burned muscles were also rapidly repairing themselves at a remarkable pace.

Furthermore, the repaired meridians, bones, and other structures were far more resilient than before they absorbed the strange fire. Clearly, although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire caused them immense damage, the compensation it paid made these vital organs feel it was all worthwhile.

As the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame repaired Jing Chen's internal body, the bloodstains and seams on his body outside gradually merged, and the blood scars quickly appeared and then fell off without leaving any trace.

The muscles beneath the skin were rapidly strengthened. Although they didn't become as muscular as those muscular men, an explosive power was subtly gathering between the bending and stretching of their arms.

The dry skin on his body peeled off layer by layer, like a snake shedding its skin. The new skin, although it turned the light bronze color that Jing Chen had painstakingly developed in the desert over several months back to fair, now looked as delicate as a woman's skin. Its defensive capabilities and sensitivity to the energy of heaven and earth were several times stronger than before.

At this moment, thanks to his strange state, Jing Chen was rapidly strengthening and repairing his damaged body with the enormous, almost terrifying energy contained in the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. This was truly an opportunity and a stroke of luck.
