Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

After a long while, the fluctuating aura around Xiao Qing gradually stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes, clearly having successfully switched to cultivating the "Burning Technique".

Switching from a mid-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique to a low-level Yellow Rank technique usually results in a reduction in the total amount of battle qi and a drop in cultivation level.

During this transformation, Xiao Qing's immense battle qi was compressed and refined to the extreme, almost causing him to fall from a one-star Dou Shi back to a nine-star Dou Zhe.

Fortunately, the foundation laid by the [Law of Fire] and the innate spiritual body was too solid, and in the end, he managed to stabilize his realm and did not fall.

Xiao Qing carefully sensed the new battle qi flowing through his body and said to Yao Lao, "Although it is a low-level Yellow Rank technique, the operation of the technique is smoother and faster than the previous mid-level Yellow Rank 'Mysterious Fire Technique,' and the quality of the battle qi seems to be a bit purer as well."

After successfully completing the repair, Xiao Qing did not rush to get up, but continued to familiarize himself with the unique operating route of the "Burning Technique".

"Alright! Now that you have successfully switched cultivation methods, I will, at the limit your body can currently withstand, separate a wisp of the original fire seed of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, so that you can personally experience the special properties of the 'Burning Technique' in devouring and evolving!"

A glint flashed in Yao Lao's eyes, and he began to pave an unprecedented path to becoming a powerful figure for Xiao Qing.

As he spoke, he turned his palm upwards, and with a "poof," a ball of eerie white flame leaped out.

As soon as the fire was lit, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a thin layer of white frost even instantly condensed on the surface of the rocks, and a strange chill permeated the air.

Fortunately, the old doctor had precise control over the flames, keeping them confined within the small space of his palm.

This is none other than the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh on the list of extraordinary flames!

A strange flame that combines extreme cold and extreme heat.

"Is this the Heavenly Flame?" Xiao Qing curiously examined the ball of pale white flame, clearly sensing the terrifying energy contained within it. However, the [Fire Law] within his body also transmitted a clear perception—

"This fire element is lower than mine!"

Xiao Qing's mind stirred slightly, and he subtly activated a trace of the [Law of Fire] within his body.

The next moment, something amazing happened!

The bone spirit cold fire that was originally burning steadily in Yao Lao's palm seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis, a sovereign emperor, and trembled violently!

The flame suddenly shrank in size, shrinking from the size of a fist to a small cluster of weak flames, clinging tightly to the old man's palm, and even trembling slightly, revealing a sense of fear!

"Huh?! It's really as you said! Your physique can actually exert such a powerful innate suppression on the strange fire of heaven and earth!" Old Yao exclaimed repeatedly, feeling incredibly amazed. This was simply unheard of!

Without further hesitation, he carefully separated a tiny wisp of bone spirit cold fire from the main fire.

This wisp of flame has an energy intensity comparable to some powerful beast fire, but its essence is still a strange fire, and its status is far superior to that of beast fire.

"Let's try and see if we can successfully refine this wisp of fire." The old doctor handed the tiny, pale white flame to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing reached out and took it. He didn't even feel the slightest heat or coldness at his fingertips. He opened his mouth and swallowed the wisp of bone spirit cold fire.

Almost instantly upon entering the mouth, the power of the [Law of Fire] activated on its own. Before the wisp of strange fire could even struggle, it was completely tamed, refined, and integrated into the battle qi of the [Burning Technique]. The entire process was breathtakingly fast.

"This...?!" This was the first time in his life that Yao Lao had witnessed such a shocking and illogical refining scene. He remained silent for a moment before asking incredulously, "How... does it feel?"

"It seems... to taste a little cool, and then a little warm?" Xiao Qing blinked, savored the taste for a moment, and commented seriously.

"I asked about the cultivation method! Not how it tastes!" The old man was so angry that his illusory beard stood on end, and he couldn't help but shout.

That brat!

Xiao Qing chuckled, ceasing his jokes, and immediately began to sense his internal energy. A look of immense joy spread across his face: "Teacher! The 'Burning Technique' has broken through! Just that one wisp of flame, and it actually evolved! It's now a mid-level Yellow Rank technique!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Upon hearing this, the old doctor clapped his hands and laughed, saying "good" three times in a row, his face full of excitement and joy.

"Excellent! It seems this technique truly can evolve! It wasn't just empty talk!"

Although he already knew the theory, witnessing the miracle happen to his own disciple was a shock and a joy that words could not express.

"Since that's the case..." Yao Lao's smile faded, and his expression became solemn. "Next comes the real test—absorbing a sub-flame of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"

"Although your physique is naturally able to counter different types of fire, the energy contained in this secondary fire far surpasses that of the previous one, making it comparable to some complete different types of fire ranked lower on the leaderboard!"

"To ensure everything goes perfectly, we can't skip any of the necessary procedures."

As he spoke, Yao Lao activated his soul power and took out two jade bottles and a round object about the size of a thumb from his Bone Flame Ring.

The bottle was opened, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air.

Two round and crystal-clear pills flew out. One was ice-blue and exuded wisps of cold air; the other was warm and smooth like jade, with a red light shimmering in its center.

"These are the sixth-grade Ice Vein Pill, the fifth-grade Heart-Protecting Pill, and the Spirit Absorption Pill for you to absorb the strange fire!" The old medicine master handed the pills to Xiao Qing and explained in detail.

"The Ice Vein Pill can protect your meridians while you absorb the strange fire, temporarily and greatly enhancing your tolerance to the burning of the strange fire; while the Heart Protection Pill can protect your heart meridian, ensuring that the power of the strange fire will not burn the heart meridian and cause fatal danger."

"And the Soul Absorbing Ability can create a small, independent, and absolutely safe space within your vortex, specifically for containing and storing the essence of the Strange Flame!"

The reason why Yao Lao can maintain his soul state now largely depends on residing in the cold fire of the bone spirit.

Separating a wisp of fire will consume a significant amount of Yao Lao's soul power, but it is still within a tolerable range and will not affect the basic stability of his soul.

Fortunately, the old master was the master of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, so separating it was relatively controllable. If an ordinary person tried to separate the ownerless strange flame, they would instantly suffer a terrifying backlash.

The old apothecary carefully held the separated, thumb-sized, pale white seed fire in his palm. The seed fire flickered slowly, emitting energy fluctuations dozens of times stronger than the previous wisp of fire.

He handed the sub-fire to Xiao Qing, his expression extremely serious as he instructed, "This is no child's play! Remember, first take two pills, wait for their effects to fully dissipate and protect your vital points, then swallow and refine the sub-fire! Never be as reckless as you were before!"

"Yes, teacher! I understand!" Xiao Qing also put away his joking attitude and nodded solemnly in agreement.

Xiao Qing first refined the Na Ling into a Qi vortex, and then took the Ice Vein Pill and the Heart Protection Pill in turn.

The pill melted upon entering the mouth, instantly transforming into two powerful torrents of medicinal energy that surged into the limbs and bones.

A thin layer of icy blue frost crystals condensed on Xiao Qing's body at a visible speed, and a powerful chill emanated from his body, effectively neutralizing the high temperature of the approaching strange fire.

At the same time, a gentle yet firm warm light emanated from Xiao Qing's chest, like the strongest shield, firmly protecting her heart.

The sixth-grade Ice Vein Pill and the fifth-grade Heart Protection Pill have already taken effect!
