After a brief explanation, Chi Xuanzi was completely relieved, and everyone returned to the cave where they had previously discussed matters.
"Elder, perhaps I can be of some help with the problem of your clan's bloodline and true fire not being able to fully integrate. If I remember correctly, there is a method of alchemy cultivation on the Continent of Radiant Light that can be used for cultivation."
"I wonder if the Vermilion Bird clan also has demon cores. If they do, it will save us some trouble. If not, then I will need to help them."
Gu Yifeng smiled and spoke to Chi Xuanzi.
"The method of alchemy? I am not familiar with this. Although I have this demon core, I am afraid I cannot do as you wish. My Vermilion Bird clan has true fire since birth, and the source of true fire is in the demon core."
"Therefore, my Vermilion Bird clan does not need to go through the cultivation of the lower three realms from childhood. We only need to control the true fire, which is considered perfect cultivation. Unfortunately, it is precisely because of this that the bloodline power contained in the demon core clashes with the true fire, causing the evil fire to flare up."
Chi Xuanzi sighed and pointed a finger, revealing a water mirror that displayed the principle of the Vermilion Bird clan's demon core.
The Vermilion Bird clan's cultivation involves freely manipulating true fire from their demon cores.
"I see. In that case, we need a magic pill to assist in cultivation. Elder, the method I mentioned can resolve this crisis. It involves using the power of an alchemist to refine a magic pill that can remain in the dantian indefinitely."
"You can choose to guide the power of the True Fire to the Dharma Core. The True Fire Dharma Core is Yang, and the Bloodline Demon Core is Yin. They are arranged in a Tai Chi pattern in the Dantian, like Yin and Yang generating each other. In this way, the problem of the Evil Fire Constitution can be solved."
Gu Yifeng spoke slowly, took out a scroll from his spatial ring, used his finger as a pen, and wrote out a prescription in a flowing style, then handed it to Chi Xuanzi.
"This method sounds good. It uses the demon's body as a furnace and demonic power as a raging fire to refine the Yin and Yang pills. Is that the method of cultivation? But this method cannot be solved by simply refining pills, can it?"
Chi Xuanzi, being a seasoned veteran, took the pill formula, glanced at it briefly, and then asked a question.
“That’s right. The true fire originates from the demon core, so if we want to move it to the magic core, we will have to endure a certain amount of pain, and the demon core may even be affected. Only someone familiar with the structure of the demon core can do it.”
Gu Yifeng nodded slowly, then turned his gaze to the pill formula.
This pill formula was also collected by him from the Complete Library of the Myriad Treasures. It is a seventh-grade pill formula. He can only refine fifth-grade pills at present. The seventh-grade pill is still a bit too strong for him.
Forcing the refining process carries the risk of the furnace exploding, and may even lead to a pill tribulation.
You must know that Gu Yifeng is currently a key person under the Heavenly Tribulation's scrutiny. Once he attracts the Pill Tribulation, not only will he be unable to preserve his pills, but he might not even be able to save his life.
Therefore, he also prepared a second method, which was much simpler. It only required refining a simple fourth-grade elixir to treat the symptoms.
"A seventh-grade pill carries risks, and I'm afraid I can't make that decision. Do you have a second option, young friend?"
Looking at Gu Yifeng's calm expression, Chi Xuanzi immediately asked in return.
“That’s right. The second plan can only temporarily alleviate your anger. Moreover, I will have to take action again within three to five years.”
"I possess the Xuanwu inheritance. I only need to use the power of the inheritance to refine pills, and then combine it with the essence blood of the Xuanwu clan to refine a fourth-grade Xuanming pill. After swallowing it, it can neutralize the power of the true fire and the bloodline, bringing them to the perfect critical point."
"However, with activities such as cultivation and combat, the power of the pills may wear off prematurely. Without the intervention of the pills, the evil fire may flare up immediately."
Gu Yifeng pointed out all these hidden dangers, and then took out a pill formula, leaving the choice to Chi Xuanzi.
Just as the Grand Elder was wavering, a powerful aura burst forth, spreading out with intense heat, followed by the pressure of a Dao Integration Realm expert.
"It's my father!"
Chi Tianyuan exclaimed in surprise, and everyone immediately walked out of the cave. They saw a middle-aged man with red hair slowly descending from the sky, his eyes clear and bright, as if he had just come out of seclusion and had not been affected by the evil fire in the slightest.
"Yuan'er, who is this?"
Chi Tianyuan's father noticed the three people beside his son immediately. He naturally recognized Xuan Che and Bai Manman, but he was only puzzled by Gu Yifeng.
"I am the current young master of the Xuanwu clan, or the successor recognized by the Xuanwu Saint Venerable, and my name is Gu Yifeng."
Gu Yifeng clasped his hands in a salute, slowly opened his mouth, and his body moved spontaneously. The power of the Xuanwu inheritance spread out, the Azure Dragon bloodline was activated, and together with the White Tiger evil spirit, three auras appeared at the same time, which was quite flashy.
"This! This! Truly, heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times. May I ask what brings you here, young friend? My name is Chi Xuanshan. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Chi along with Xiao Che and the others."
Chi Xuanshan was not someone to be trifled with. He spoke generously and led everyone into the council hall of the Vermilion Bird Clan.
Gu Yifeng immediately repeated what he wanted to do, including how to deal with the evil fire of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Chi Xuanshan fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Despite his generous and straightforward demeanor as the head of a clan, he is actually incredibly meticulous and calculating, second only to the Xuanwu clan in his cunning.
"What if I want both methods? As long as you break through to the seventh-grade alchemist realm in the future, I will invite you to come to Vermilion Bird Mountain again, no matter the cost, to solve the problem of the evil fire for my clan's descendants."
Chi Xuanshan spoke magnanimously, then looked intently at Gu Yifeng.
Upon hearing this, he immediately felt admiration for the clan leader. Not everyone had such courage, especially for the Vermilion Bird clan at the moment, where a safe approach was undoubtedly sufficient.
Even if it's a desperate measure, it's enough for the Vermilion Bird clan.
“In that case, I will definitely keep my promise to Uncle Chi. However, regarding the alchemy, I can better guarantee the quality of the Xuanming Pill after I finish cultivating in the secret realm. Could you allow me to go to the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm first?”
Gu Yifeng asked.
"Alright, to be honest, the entrance to this secret realm is at the bottom of the volcano. I can take my nephew to the bottom, and once we enter the secret realm, everything will be fine. Shall we go now?"
Chi Xuanshan was also a straightforward person. Seeing Gu Yifeng's resolute expression, he made up his mind and spoke. Chi Xuanzi nodded slightly beside him.
After all, for a genius like Gu Yifeng, regardless of his relationship with the Vermilion Bird Clan, winning them over should be the top priority.
"In that case, thank you very much, Uncle Chi."
Gu Yifeng clasped his hands in a salute and spoke loudly. Then, the group followed Chi Xuanshan back to the crater.
With the entrance to the final secret realm within reach, a flicker of excitement welled up in his eyes. With all five elemental souls gathered, it would be time to verify whether the prophecy left by Xuanwu was accurate.
