In the quiet room, Qin Xin's eyes shone with undisguised joy.
Danqing also took out some spiritual herbs from the fragmented map space and slowly floated them in the void.
"Water Ripple Grass, Fire-Repelling Vine, Strong Vein Flower, Ice Crystal Fruit, Snow Jade Bone Ginseng."
Looking at the mature spiritual herbs, Qin Xin's eyes were filled with longing. He was able to collect these spiritual herbs needed to refine the Fire-Repelling Pill thanks to the medicinal fields in the ruins of the Luo Shen Sect. Otherwise, these spiritual herbs would be very expensive, and some would be priceless. It would probably take a long time to collect them all.
"Once we collect the remaining ingredients, we can refine the Fire-Repelling Pill."
Danqing's illusory spirit examined the medicinal properties of these herbs, carefully sealed each one, and handed them to Qin Xin, saying softly.
“Level 5 water-attribute monster crystals are easy to obtain, but this Ice Spirit Cold Spring…”
Qin Xin's face was also somewhat worried. The Ice Spirit Cold Spring could only be collected in extremely cold places, but it only took a day for it to condense and evaporate. In addition, the environment of the extremely cold place was harsh, and there were many powerful monsters with ice attributes. With Qin Xin's current strength of the third level of the Awakening Realm, he would probably be frozen into an ice sculpture as soon as he stepped into the extremely cold place.
"I still have some Ice Spirit Cold Spring left. I've given you the recipe for the Fire-Repelling Pill. Make sure you can refine it successfully on the first try, otherwise these spiritual herbs will be wasted, and it will be very troublesome to collect them again."
Danqing said with some concern that due to the excessive consumption of his spiritual energy, his spiritual body could not fully recover. If he continued to refine pills for Qin Xin, he might fall into a deep sleep.
Feeling the method of refining the Fire-Repelling Pill in his mind, Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief. This Fire-Repelling Pill was an auxiliary pill that Dan Qing had researched and improved. Although he was only a third-grade alchemist, he could still refine this pill. It would just be that the grade and efficacy of the pill would be slightly lower after refinement, but it wouldn't have a big impact.
Qin Xin recalled the rewards from the Alchemy Conference. According to records, the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree was of great benefit to the souls of martial artists and was also a rare treasure for alchemists. It could even help alchemists improve their soul perception and break through to the next level of alchemist.
Danqing is now only a spirit body, and Qin Xin doesn't know if the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree will have any effect on him.
"Teacher, can the Soul-Nourishing Tree help you restore your spiritual body?" Qin Xin asked curiously.
"Somewhat. If my spirit wants to fully recover now, it will eventually perish unless I can re-form a physical body."
Danqing's words seemed to carry a sense of detachment from everything.
"I must obtain that Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree to help my teacher recover," Qin Xin said, patting his chest as he heard it would be useful.
"Just do your best..."
Looking at Qin Xin's determined eyes, Dan Qing felt a warmth rise in his heart. Although the Ding Dynasty was not as strong as the other two dynasties, it was still very strong in alchemy. Moreover, the alchemy competition would also attract alchemists from the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty. He did not think Qin Xin could win among these people, but he could not bear to discourage Qin Xin's enthusiasm.
"By the way, teacher, why did you ask me to agree to any of Zhan Qingyue's conditions when we talked about Yang Fire?"
Although Qin Xin knew about the Yang Fire, it seemed to be of no use to him, and he had to constantly nurture it to prevent it from going out, making it just a burden. However, if a family possessed a Yang Fire, it would be a great help to all the alchemists.
"It seems that many traditions in the Tianxuan Continent have been lost, and even a good thing like Yang Fire is no longer known how to be used."
Danqing pursed her lips, then said with a smile, "This Yang Fire can increase your success rate when devouring different flames, and it can also help you suppress the violence of those flames!"
"Increase the success rate of absorption!"
Qin Xin was also surprised. Devouring a strange fire was extremely difficult, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. The most important reason was that strange fires were violent and difficult to suppress. This Yang fire had such an effect, which was something Qin Xin had not expected.
"It seems that the predecessor of the Zhan clan was quite extraordinary. This method of condensing Yang Fire is not something that an ordinary family can possess."
"Some powerful families, in order to make it easier for their clansmen to devour and contain the strange fires between heaven and earth, collect the solar fire that nurtures all things in heaven and earth, refine it and turn it into a yang fire seed, nurture it with martial spirit, and when they devour strange fires, they combine the fire seed with it, and the refinement of strange fires will be much easier."
"Of course, when some martial artists want to change their fire, this Yang Fire Seed is also indispensable."
Danqing's ethereal spirit floated above the ground, hands behind his back, and spoke slowly.
"Change the fire?"
Qin Xin was somewhat curious about this new term.
"Yes, it's about changing the flame. Some martial artists can control multiple different flames, but the more different flames they control, the greater the burden on them. Some martial artists can't even withstand the scorching of their souls. I once heard of a ruthless person who forcibly controlled nine different flames in pursuit of strength, but in the end, the flames backfired, and he was reduced to ashes."
"However, strange fire is rare to begin with. Back then, I almost lost my life trying to steal... uh, no, trying to get the life fire that ranks nineteenth on the strange fire list."
"However, after experiencing the enhancement brought by this strange fire, it was all worth it."
As Danqing spoke, a look of fear rose on his face, as if he had paid a heavy price for devouring this strange fire.
"Teacher, you were so strong back then, why didn't you collect more different kinds of flames?"
Qin Xin was somewhat puzzled. With Dan Qing's alchemy skills, wouldn't it be an easy task for him to control multiple different flames?
"You brat, do you think strange fire is as common as cabbage?!"
With anger on his face, Danqing cursed and said, "Whether one can control multiple different flames, the Martial Spirit's capacity to bear them is also very important."
“My martial spirit is the Fire-Transforming Star Cauldron, which can only open up a place to contain the seed of a strange fire. Your somewhat strange black stick martial spirit is already difficult enough to control a strange fire, and it also needs to expel the refined Yang fire from its body.”
"All right."
Qin Xin pursed his lips, somewhat regretting the question he had asked.
"Alright, you've said so much, I'm a little tired. Although you should do your best in the alchemy competition, you can't embarrass your teacher. Just focus on alchemy these next few days, and I will guide you from the side."
After Danqing finished speaking, he returned to the fragmented map space to rest.
The two Xuan Tie pill furnaces had already exploded, and Qin Xin had no pill furnace to refine pills for the time being, so he could only close his eyes and cultivate, and wait until the next day.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Qin Xin was able to easily perceive the surrounding situation through his spiritual sense.
Qin Xin has now entered the early stage of the Spirit Travel Realm, but he is still unaware of the range that his spiritual sense can detect. Out of curiosity, he flew out of the Zhan Clan's manor.
