My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Meng Hu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said to his three brothers, "Right now, perhaps only the [Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire] inherited by our Meng family can save Brother Gu."

"Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Hong, Meng Jing, and Meng Yan hesitated slightly.

The Meng family is a family of cultivators. Although no immortals have ever emerged from their ancestors, every generation has had someone admitted to one of the top ten universities in the immortal kingdom.

Their family is skilled in the research and refining of elixirs.

He has extensive connections at Danding University and is considered a member of the academic elite.

The Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire is a core direct lineage of the Meng family. Each level of this technique can refine a different kind of spiritual fire from heaven and earth. When cultivated to the ninth level, the nine spiritual fires merge, and their power is no less than that of immortal fire.

"Big brother!"

Can the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire be passed on to outsiders?

"If I were to pass this on to Brother Gu, I'm afraid..."

Meng Hong hesitated for a moment.

However, before he could finish speaking, Meng Hu interrupted him, saying, "Second brother, Brother Gu helped us find the ten-thousand-year-old Fumu Yaoguang, which is a great favor."

"Secondly, if it weren't for Brother Gu's sudden outburst, we would have been killed by that Foundation Establishment stage hellish demon."

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, we cannot stand by and watch someone die."

"At worst, we can bring the Wannian Fumu Yaoguang back to the clan, and the merits and demerits of the four of us brothers will be balanced."

"I think my older brother makes a good point."

Meng Yan nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Meng Hong and Meng Jing no longer objected.

……

the other side.

Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on maintaining the fifth level of martial arts mental state to resist the attack of the Karmic Fire Burning Body Curse on his soul.

The fires of hell burn away karma, which originates from the moral consequences of a person's actions. Evil deeds such as killing and fraud accumulate karma.

As for whether Gu Qing carries any karma, the answer is yes.

Back in the battle in the capital of the ancient martial arts world, Gu Qing killed thousands of martial artists from the Great Yuan Empire with a single move; these were all human lives.

Now, the flames of karma are burning.

The first to suffer was Gu Qing's mental power, but this strange power derived from martial arts could resist the burning of karmic fire.

If it weren't for the protection of spiritual power, Gu Qing's entire being, including his soul and body, would probably have turned to ashes the moment the Karmic Fire Burning Curse took effect.

Seeing Gu Qing struggling against the hellfire, Meng Hu came to Gu Qing's side and said:

"Brother Gu, this time we're on a treasure hunt."

"But we four brothers have received a tremendous benefit. I won't hide it from you, that ten-thousand-year-old Fuling Yao Guang can be used to refine a seventh-grade spiritual pill."

"We truly never expected Brother Gu to be in this situation..."

After a pause, Meng Hu took out a jade slip of inheritance and placed it in front of Gu Qing. He explained, "This is the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire inherited by the Meng family. Each level can refine a spiritual fire."

"But no one in the Meng family attempted to refine a second-grade spiritual fire when they were at the first-grade Qi Refining Realm."

"Not only that."

"The flames on Brother Gu's body are still hellfire."

"The Meng family has never had any record of refining this kind of flame."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing slowly opened her eyes.

The four members of the Meng family watched Gu Qing nervously. The moment he opened his eyes, they seemed to see a raging fire reflected in his inner world.

"Brother Gu, you..."

Meng Hu was horrified and couldn't help but take a step back.

"It's alright."

"I won't die for now; I can hold on for a while longer."

"I'll accept the jade slip."

"I'll have to trouble Brother Meng Hu to check if there are any magic crystals inside that hellhound."

After Gu Qing picked up the inheritance jade slip, he spoke to Meng Hu.

Compared to Meng Hu's proposed solution, Gu Qing also had his own solution.

That is bloodline devouring.

Before dying, the hellhound launched a counterattack, unleashing a blood curse that dragged Gu Qing down with it.

but……

This blood curse originates from the bloodline ability of the hellhound's head; even the hellfire is derived from this bloodline ability.

If he were to devour the other party's bloodline.

The karmic fire curse unleashed by the hell-headed kobold before its death will become the sustenance for Gu Qing's cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Meng Hu...

He approached the twisted and shattered corpse of the hellhound, rummaged through the shredded flesh, and finally pulled out a dark red, round crystal bead, about the size of a pigeon egg. This was the magic crystal inside the second-grade demon.

Compared to the magic crystal Gu Qing extracted from the body of the Grand Master of the Great Yuan Dynasty in the ancient martial arts world, this magic crystal is many times more exquisite.

The magic crystal in the ancient martial arts world is like a rough diamond.

The magic crystal inside the hellhound's head is like a finely cut gemstone.

Gu Qing took out the red sand gourd from the equipment slot.

He quietly placed the Heavenly Fire Nine Transformations Inheritance Jade Slip from his bosom into his equipment slot.

[Equipped Item: Inheritance Jade Slip]

[Rank: Jade slip containing Meng Hu's inheritance of the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire]

Completeness: 30%

[Equipment Effect: Gain insights into Meng Hu's cultivation of the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire; gain analysis of the first three levels of the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire.]

[Note: If equipped for more than one day, the first tier of the item's equipment effect will be permanently acquired. If equipped for more than six months, all of the item's equipment effects will be permanently acquired...]

……

"The jade slip in Meng Hu's hand only records the first three levels of the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire, and can only be cultivated up to the Golden Core Realm."

"Yeah, that's normal."

"It is impossible for the Meng family to completely pass on a cultivation technique that has reached the ninth rank to a Qi Refining Realm cultivator."

"The fact that they were able to receive Golden Core Realm cultivation techniques is a result of the Meng family's high regard for the four brothers."

Calm your mind.

While Gu Qing was circulating the Dao Evolution Immortal Technique, he also began to circulate the Heavenly Fire Nine Mysterious Transformations.

With his fifth level of mental cultivation, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators, Gu Qing could multitask and simultaneously practice two cultivation techniques.

After the two internal cultivation techniques have stabilized,

Gu Qing opened her eyes again and looked at the second-grade magic crystal.

He picked up the magic crystal, tilted his head back, and swallowed the dark red magic crystal, which was the size of a pigeon egg.

As soon as the magic crystal entered his stomach, Gu Qing felt as if he had swallowed a gasoline can, not a magic crystal.

The hellfire grew larger and larger.

The karmic fire extended from the mental space to the body surface, igniting Gu Qing's blood and qi, transforming into blood flames.

"Immortal Martial Arts: Bloodline Martial Arts!!"

"Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire"

Use your skills immediately to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

He used his bloodline martial arts to refine the second-grade magic crystal inheritance, and used the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire to refine the hellfire on his body.

The energy cultivation technique is activated.

The Heavenly Fire Nine Transformations guides the raging hellfire into the body's meridians, circulating according to the Heavenly Fire Nine Transformations technique's path, but the hellfire overflowing from the body grows larger and larger.

Just now.

Gu Qing felt a tremendous heat erupt from the second-grade magic crystal in his abdomen, spreading from his lower abdomen to every part of his body.

As Gu Qing was refining the Hellfire with all his might, he seemed to see the hellhounds resurrected in the flames and walking towards him step by step.

The hellhound glared at Gu Qing, cursing angrily.

The dog's mouth opened and closed silently, yet it seemed to be cursing the most vicious hellish words.

however.

Looking at the lingering regrets manifested by the spiritual essence of the magic crystal.

In Gu Qing's eyes, it was just a clown, watching it perform silently.

……
