"Come in!" Fortunately, Master Ma was also worried that Li Shiming would run away, so after leaving Li Shiming in the sun for more than an hour, he let Li Shiming enter Danding Peak.

There is a Danding Palace on the top of Danding Peak. Li Shiming landed outside the Danding Palace.

A alchemy boy led him into the Alchemy Hall, where he met Master Ma.

This was the first time for Li Shiming to enter the place where the Golden Core Elder made elixirs. The aroma of Chinese medicine was strong in the Dan Ding Hall. After refining elixirs for a period of time, he had some understanding of elixirs and tasted many of them.

But he didn't recognize most of the smells, which was normal. Very few first-grade elixirs were refined here, and most of the remaining smells were those of second- and third-grade elixirs.

What attracted his attention the most was the alchemy furnace that exuded an astonishing aura. He was the first to feel that it was a magic weapon.

Not only had Li Shiming seen magic weapons, he himself also possessed a magic weapon for sword cultivation, as well as several special magic weapons.

He could still recognize the aura of magic weapons, but the alchemy furnace in front of him had the strongest aura among all the magic weapons he had ever seen.

He did not see any spiritual carbon or any source of fire such as earth fire next to this magical furnace, which made him very curious.

"Disciple Li Shiming pays his respects to Master Ma!" Li Shiming thought to himself, bowed to Master Ma respectfully, and said while holding the jade box in his hand.

"Have you learned the alchemy inheritance I passed on to you?" Uncle Ma raised his eyes and asked calmly.

He was mentally prepared. If Li Shiming said he had not learned yet, he would teach Li Shiming a lesson.

In the entire Shushan Sect, when this alchemy master said he wanted to teach alchemy, as long as he pointed out something, people would throw themselves before him and beg him to teach them regardless of everything.

But look at Li Shiming, he made him wait for so many days.

"Please take a look at the elixir that my disciple tried to refine!" Li Shiming had no idea what Master Ma was thinking, so he took out a jade bottle and placed it on the jade box.

Master Ma was a little curious. Li Shiming didn't even ask him what kind of elixir he had made?

Before checking the pills, he first opened the jade box.

A faint tea fragrance wafted out, and he couldn't help but take a sniff. It was a second-grade spiritual tea that even he, the master alchemist and the Golden Core Elder, usually drank.

The sect does have third-grade spiritual tea, but the third-grade spiritual tea is managed uniformly by the sect, and a certain amount is allocated to each Jindan elder every year.

The quantity is so small that Elder Jindan would not have taken out the third-grade spiritual tea unless he had met an important guest.

Although the spiritual tea in the jade box is of the second grade, the level of roasting is extremely high, making the quality of this second grade spiritual tea infinitely close to the ultimate second grade spiritual tea.

"Perfect second-grade spiritual tea!" This was the evaluation that Master Ma gave to the second-grade spiritual tea in his hand.

Even if he did it himself, he couldn't guarantee that he could achieve this level. He even sensed the shadows of the 'Green Willow Spirit Sensing Art' and the 'Golden Sun Fire Control Art' from it.

If it weren't for his two unique techniques, everyone would have thought that Li Shiming bought this second-grade spiritual tea from somewhere.

'Green Willow Spirit Sensing Art' and 'Golden Sun Fire Control Art' are his inheritance, not the sect's techniques. Unless he personally teaches them, they will not be circulated outside.

Master Ma closed the jade box. For a second-grade spiritual tea of ​​this quality, it would be a huge waste if any spiritual energy was lost.

He found Li Shiming much more pleasing to his eyes. No matter what, Li Shiming had indeed learned the alchemy inheritance he had given him, and at least he was extremely skilled in using these two secret techniques.

In addition, he had a deeper understanding of Li Shiming's potential in alchemy. In the past, he was interested in Li Shiming for another reason.

Master Ma opened the jade bottle and poured out a pill from it.

"Hey, this is the advanced 'Mingxin Jiugong Pill'!" Uncle Ma did not have the recipe for the 'Mingxin Jiugong Pill', but he could recognize it at a glance as long as he had seen the pill.

His mind swept over the 'Mingxin Jiugong Pill', feeling the fire in it, and confirmed that this was a pill that had just been refined not long ago.

"Did you make it?" Uncle Ma looked at Li Shiming and asked uncertainly.

The main reason is that the quality of this 'Ming Xin Jiu Gong Dan' is really too high. High-level is the highest level of a furnace of pills, and the top-level pills are accidental products in the process of alchemy.

"Yes, I have been working hard to learn alchemy recently and have been able to refine first-grade pills!" Li Shiming bowed and answered truthfully.

Master Ma looked at the pill in his hand, then looked at Li Shiming. He felt that there was something wrong with Li Shiming's words.

What does it mean to be able to refine first-grade elixirs? If this means to be able to refine, then what are his several alchemy disciples?

"Did you use the spiritual fire?" Master Ma stared at Li Shiming and asked.

Li Shiming looked back at Master Ma in confusion, his eyes full of doubt.

If the spiritual fire was spiritual charcoal, he did use it, but looking at Master Ma's expression, it didn't seem like he was talking about spiritual charcoal.

Besides, he is a cultivator who has just started to learn alchemy. What spiritual fire can he use if not spiritual charcoal?

Master Ma saw Li Shiming's expression and knew that Li Shiming probably didn't even know what spiritual fire was.

"There are two types of alchemists, one is the alchemist with spiritual fire, and the other is the alchemist without spiritual fire!" Master Ma explained in a deep voice.

Li Shiming was even more confused. The alchemists he knew were divided into different levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced and master. There was no such classification as Master Ma mentioned.

"Uncle Master, what is spiritual fire?" he couldn't help but ask.

Master Ma did not answer either. He stretched out his finger, and a little flame appeared on his finger.

When Li Shiming saw the flame on Master Ma's finger, he immediately thought of the small flame in his own spiritual lake.

"This is my spiritual fire, called Earth Flame Spiritual Fire, collected from deep underground. The first time I saw you, I felt the aura of spiritual fire on you, so I left you the alchemy inheritance. I hope you can become an alchemist and don't waste the opportunity of spiritual fire!" Uncle Ma explained with a smile.

Li Shiming finally understood why Master Ma looked at him differently. It turned out that the small flame he got was the spiritual fire.

But he didn’t know what his spiritual fire was called, or what it was used for.

"Uncle-master, I was just about to ask you, I got this spiritual fire by accident in the Ten Thousand Mountains, I wonder what it is called and what it can be used for?" Li Shiming's mind moved, and the small flame in the spiritual lake appeared on his finger, he asked aloud.

"Before you succeed in making the elixir, don't take the spiritual fire out outside. The value of the spiritual fire is beyond your imagination!" Uncle Ma warned after observing with his eyes without using his divine sense.

"Yes, Uncle Master!" Li Shiming took the spiritual fire back into the spiritual lake and looked at Uncle Master Ma expectantly, wanting to get an answer from him.

"Did you get this spiritual fire from a giant bear's lair?" Master Ma pondered for a moment and then asked.

"That's right. The Muyang clover is in the giant bear's lair. I discovered this spiritual fire when I was getting the Muyang clover for my master!" Li Shiming answered without hiding anything.

If Master Ma really had some bad intentions, why would he have said so much to him? He could easily snatch his spiritual fire, or even his life.

Although it is difficult to detect the emotions of a Jindan cultivator, by observing Master Ma's facial expression, IBMz15 concluded that Master Ma had no ill intentions.

"It is true. What Xiao Su said about you being blessed is true. I didn't expect that you would dare to snatch the elixir guarded by the Red Sun Bear alone!" Uncle Ma nodded slightly and smiled.

His impression of Li Shiming improved again. He also knew how powerful the spirit beast guarding the Muyang clover was. Li Shiming dared to take a huge risk to get the spiritual medicine for the sake of a promise.

Who wouldn’t like to interact with such a cultivator? More importantly, Li Shiming also has a strong fortune.

At least Elder Su firmly believed it, and attributed his ability to obtain the Muyang clover and recover from his injuries to sharing Li Shiming's good fortune.

“Among the Red Sun Bear race, there is a small chance that a Red Sun Bear with a companion spirit fire will appear. This type of Red Sun Bear is usually the key protected object of the Red Sun Bear clan, and it is difficult for cultivators to come into contact with it.

The Red Sun Bear clan is extremely powerful, with the strongest being in the clan being a late third-order monster, and sometimes even a fourth-order monster may appear.

The Red Sun Bear, which possesses a companion spiritual fire, will only leave the tribe under one circumstances, and that is in the final stage of being promoted to a great demon. It will stay beside the most yang spiritual creature and prepare for the final breakthrough.

During this period, the Red Sun Bear will spit out the spiritual fire, allowing it to devour the external flames to increase its Yang power. After taking the third-grade Yang spiritual medicine, at the last moment before the demon pill is formed, the spiritual fire will be taken back. At that time, the spiritual fire will be completely integrated with the demon pill and cannot be taken away. "Master Ma explained to Li Shiming.

He was somewhat envious of Li Shiming's luck. There were many kinds of spiritual fire, and they also had different grades.

Although the Earth Flame Spiritual Fire is a third-grade spiritual fire, which is already considered a superior spiritual fire in terms of quality, the Red Sun Spiritual Fire is a growing spiritual fire that will continuously improve in grade as the cultivator's strength grows.

Of course, this does not mean that the grade of the Earth Flame Spirit Fire cannot be upgraded, but that it is too difficult to upgrade the grade of the Earth Flame Spirit Fire. At least Master Ma is unable to supply the materials to upgrade the grade of the Earth Flame Spirit Fire.

To upgrade the grade of the Earth Flame Spirit Fire, a higher-level special spiritual object is needed, which means a fourth-grade special spiritual object is needed.

A fourth-grade spiritual object must be compatible with the Earth Flame Spirit Fire. This is so difficult that even a Nascent Soul ancestor cannot guarantee that he can obtain it.

But the growing spiritual fire is different. It only needs to continuously supply energy to improve the quality of the spiritual fire, and does not require any external input.

This difference makes the growing spiritual fire the most rare spiritual fire.

"Your spiritual fire is called the Red Sun Spiritual Fire. It is the most yang spiritual fire that can burn everything. It is currently in the early second grade. If you cultivate fire spiritual power, you should infuse it into the Red Sun Spiritual Fire every day to help it grow quickly!" Uncle Ma went on to explain.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Master Ma's words were like an epiphany for Li Shiming, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

"This is a method to conceal the aura of spiritual fire. You should learn it when you go back. The power of spiritual fire is too great, and you cannot restrain the aura of the Red Sun Spiritual Fire. If you meet a cultivator who knows the value of it, you will be in trouble!" Uncle Ma thought for a moment, took out a jade slip and threw it over.

Li Shiming took the jade slip with both hands and bowed again to express his gratitude.

"Do you know why spiritual fire is so precious?" Master Ma asked with a smile.

"I don't know, please explain it to me, uncle!" Li Shiming shook his head and replied.

"Only an alchemist who has mastered the spiritual fire can become a master alchemist, able to refine elixirs of the middle and late stages of the Golden Core, or even the Nascent Soul stage. Without the help of the spiritual fire, even the purest earth fire cannot reach the level of refining spiritual medicines of the third grade or above!" Uncle Ma said the greatest use of the spiritual fire.

Li Shiming was shocked. He didn't expect that the small flame he got casually could turn out to be such a treasure.

Fortunately, Master Ma reminded me, otherwise if the monks had really targeted me, my life would have been in danger.

The one who can see the aura of spiritual fire is probably at least a Jindan elder like Master Ma, and a Jindan who has been dealing with fire for many years.

Otherwise, among the many Jindan elders including the master that day, only Master Ma could see the Red Sun Spirit Fire.

"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Li Shiming thanked him again. He has thanked Uncle Ma many times today, but each time he thanked him sincerely.

"You have spiritual fire, and I also want to have another alchemy master in the sect to share my work!" Master Ma said with a smile, and then he continued: "But your spiritual fire is still very weak. Today, you will use spiritual carbon to refine a furnace of 'Bright Heart Nine Palace Pills'. It will be regarded as the sect's test of your alchemy!"

Although that bottle of 'Ming Xin Jiu Gong Dan' can prove Li Shiming's alchemy level, Master Ma still needs to see Li Shiming making the elixir with his own eyes before he can be truly relieved.

It was true that all the 'Mingxin Jiugongdan' that Li Shiming took out were of high-quality. This performance was too outrageous, and Master Ma could not believe it.

If it were any other alchemist, Uncle Ma would never let him make the elixir in front of him. This involves a secret passed down by each alchemist.

But Li Shiming was different. Everything he learned was taught by Master Ma, so he had such requirements.

"Yes, uncle!" Li Shiming bowed and accepted the order.

It was naturally impossible for him to use the magic alchemy furnace. Not to mention that Master Ma would not allow it, even if he was allowed to use it, his spiritual power would not be able to meet the needs of the magic alchemy furnace.

For a cultivator who has established his foundation, the grade of the magic weapon is too high and is not something that a cultivator can control.

He took out his top-grade magical furnace and a few pieces of spiritual charcoal.

Then he began to refine the elixir in front of Master Ma, from heating the furnace to adding the elixir and then to controlling the fire, each step was done under the perception of Master Ma's spiritual mind.

Master Ma was shocked to find that every step of Li Shiming's alchemy was extremely precise, including the control of temperature and the fusion of elixirs, which were no more than what he could do himself.

The question is how long has Li Shiming been studying to have reached such a level?

Alchemy is not an easy task, otherwise there wouldn't be so many cultivators who want to learn but fail.

The same type of spiritual medicine can have individual differences due to precipitation, fertility of the spiritual soil, amount of sunlight, and even the time of picking.

This difference will cause extremely subtle differences in the medicinal properties. When refining the elixir, a slight difference may cause the spiritual properties of the elixir in the furnace to change, resulting in elixir of poor or good quality.
