She used the research results that countless researchers had devoted their entire lives to, and Zhu Yi suddenly felt an unparalleled sense of pride.
In the world of cultivation, a realm where fantasy and metaphysics coexist, she actually found the value in the existence of science.
Those great inventions will never become outdated, and those seemingly simple principles are the result of the hard work of countless predecessors.
"A cluster of bright red, flickering flames, divided into a core, an inner flame, and an outer flame." Zhu Yi simply took out a small piece of firewood, conjured a flame, and showed it to Wei Weiwei.
"The temperature of the flame increases from the inside out."
Wei Weiwei looked at it carefully. How come she had never noticed such detailed classification of flames before?
Zhu Yi picked up a few fragments of the alchemy furnace and went around the hillside to cut and break off many cold, hard branches. Weiwei followed Zhu Yi, busying herself with the task.
“Weiwei is right. Using different types of fire in different environments will make things much more efficient.” Zhu Yi smiled brightly, as if she could already see the exhilaration of clearing the level.
“Sometimes people need to give themselves a pep talk, right?” Zhu Yi asked with a grin.
Wei Weiwei was a little confused: "What is 'getting chicken blood'?"
"It means 'Keep it up!' Roll up your sleeves and get to work!" Zhu Yi started a fire by rubbing sticks together, which left Wei Wei stunned.
"Oh! By the way, Sister Shanshan, remember to move your body more and get your blood flowing."
Xue Shan also watched Zhu Yi's actions: "Junior Sister is starting a fire."
Her answer was concise, but Wei Weiwei was full of curiosity. She had only heard of making fire by rubbing sticks together, but had never tried it. Now that she had seen it, she found it quite unbelievable. Could it really work?
"Fire is associated with rising. It signifies the upward movement of light." Zhu Yi placed the small, dry leaves and stalks of grass into the hole in the wood that he had just carved out with fragments from the alchemy furnace, and began to "drill" continuously.
"I think that even a fire as sinister as the Netherworld Fire is interpreted in this way in the Ghost Realm. We can imitate the conditions for the formation of the Netherworld Fire based on the way the fire burns, and use the Netherworld Fire to refine pills."
"Three conditions are needed for fire to burn: combustible material, oxidizer, and ignition source."
"But, junior sister, do you have any other alchemy furnaces?" Wei Weiwei was a little worried. Her junior sister's alchemy furnace had been destroyed, and they didn't have any other tools to refine pills.
No wonder my junior sister told me to prepare more alchemy furnaces when I got back. She was truly prescient.
"No, I don't plan to use my own alchemy furnace to refine pills." Zhu Yi's soft hands were a little numb, and she could vaguely see a few blue sparks appearing, so she quickened her pace.
"The alchemy furnaces outside are often tempered by yang fire, which will clash with these herbs that are heavy with yin energy. They will not only fail to refine the pills, but will also cause the furnace to explode."
"Crack! Whoosh!" The sound rang out, and under the watchful eyes of Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei, Zhu Yi finally manually produced a wisp of eerie blue flame.
It wasn't hot to the touch; a cool sensation flowed through Zhu Yisu's rosy little hand. Wherever it touched, blue flames blazed, and a dark blue scar immediately appeared on the back of Zhu Yisu's fair hand.
Zhu Yi retreated quickly, extinguishing the ghostly flames on her hands with her water-based spiritual energy. She wasn't particularly concerned about the scar; she could research scar-removing cream after returning to the sect. It was just that the flames caused a raw, cold, and stiff pain.
"Wow! Junior Sister, you're amazing!" Wei Wei smiled like a child who had stolen candy, forgetting about the herbs in her hands, and moved closer to Zhu Yi to take a closer look at the will-o'-the-wisp.
"This fire is too intense! I have some burn ointment here, do you want to use it first?"
"No need. I might come into contact with this kind of fire again when I'm making things later. I was thinking, could I use this ghost fire for my own purposes?" Zhu Yi wasn't overwhelmed by the joy of successfully obtaining the fire. The chilling burning pain on her hands only fueled her more imaginative ideas.
She used a twig to draw a complete Bagua diagram on the flat ground.
Thanks to her grandfather's strict guidance in her previous life, she had a wealth of useful resources in the cultivation world, all accumulated from her previous life.
"Is it possible to replicate a Bagua array on my own fire spirit root, while preserving these two different types of fire within it?"
Wei Weiwei exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Sister, this is very dangerous! Two different types of fire elemental energy will clash with our meridians and ruin our cultivation! If the problem is serious, we won't be able to cultivate anymore!"
This was the first time Wei Weiwei had spoken so harshly to her companion. This behavior was too dangerous; one wrong move and someone could be killed.
Unable to cultivate immortality in the cultivation world—the consequences were too much for Wei Wei to bear…
Zhu Yi didn't care about these things: "Fortune favors the bold. In the cultivation world, fire spirit root cultivators all use yang fire, so it's no fun to spar with each other! Why not use this extremely yin and yin fire to fight? Yang fire spirit energy versus yin fire spirit energy, just thinking about it is quite a unique experience!"
"It's over! Junior Sister, you've gone mad! How could you have such a warlike mind?" Xue Shan saw the unwavering determination in Zhu Yi's eyes, and also noticed a ruthlessness that was completely different from her usual warm and kind demeanor, making her seem unfamiliar.
That look in his eyes seemed to suggest he was ready to fight someone to the death, a fight to the bitter end.
"That's right! That's exactly it. When fighting against cultivators with fire spiritual roots, using water spiritual energy or purer fire spiritual energy isn't particularly effective. But this Netherworld Ghost Fire is unique in the cultivation world; few can withstand or resist it. That's definitely a natural advantage!"
Zhu Yi didn't heed the advice of her two senior sisters at all.
Her gaze was intense, almost obsessive, as she realized that Zhu Qianying was a cultivator specializing in fire elemental roots.
The Zhu family elders used a secret technique to refine her wood spirit root, so when Zhu Qianying's fire spirit energy was insufficient, she could naturally use the burning and conversion of wood spirit energy as support.
This is a key reason why Zhu Qianying was able to break through to the Golden Core stage at such a young age and become a genius girl in the cultivation world.
If she could obtain a different kind of fire seed today, wouldn't she be able to use unexpected moves to win if a fire spirit root cultivator were to fight her in the future?
"Don't worry about me, my two junior sisters. I just think that the more skills I develop, the less likely I am to be bullied in the future." Zhu Yi said with a relaxed and natural expression, while Xue Shan and Wei Wei looked at her with unfamiliar faces.
"Junior Sister, your expression just now was terrifying..." Wei Weiwei stammered, looking somewhat conflicted.
"Relax~ It's okay for us to get really absorbed in our thoughts sometimes~" Zhu Yi patted Wei Weiwei's shoulder to comfort her.
"Once I can refine two kinds of flames at the same time, I can teach you too!" Zhu Yi was delighted. After all, the three of them were exploring the secret realm together, and she couldn't keep any good treasures to herself.
Vivi reminded her of the differences between the two types of flames, so if she could successfully refine both types of flames, she would teach Vivi along the way, and she wouldn't hold back.
"In the cultivation world, a place where strength reigns supreme, we certainly can't let go of any opportunity to improve ourselves!"
Wei Weiwei was somewhat tempted by what Zhu Yi said. If one could refine two flames at the same time and switch between them at any time, wouldn't that be amazing?
