Chapter 50: Burnt, I Understood
After twelve whole days, the second-grade competition finally came to an end. Wei Chengming relied on his powerful body to crush all the warriors of the same level in all directions. The consumption from the round-robin battle was not as fast as he could recover in a breath. Such power made countless people addicted to him.
At this time, the other seven arenas had not yet entered the middle stage, and drawing lots and recording took up too much time.
A small courtyard in the bamboo forest.
In front of Jiang Yi, a red treasure furnace was looming in the blazing flames, with fire dragons leaping and dancing, and precious light rising into the sky.
Day after day, Meng Pingkang also came. He was already obsessed with refining equipment and was very curious about Jiang Yi's unique method of refining equipment. He couldn't help but want to study each one by himself.
The flame was swallowed by the treasure furnace, and the fire dragon sank into Jiang Yi's sea of consciousness and returned to the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar.
The construction of this precious furnace, which he had made in exact imitation of the appearance of the Bagua Furnace, had come to an end, and it would take a lot of time to fill it.
The treasure furnace fell to the ground, and a hot breath filled the air. Jiang Yi took a look behind the string of question marks behind the Eight Trigrams Furnace in the "Lingbao Atlas".
Three million two hundred thousand!
I’m afraid this isn’t even enough!
Think about the Dinghai Divine Pearl, one cost 110 million, if you want to collect a set, you need more than 2.6 billion points of cultivation. As his understanding of the law deepened, the cultivation points he gained from listening to the scriptures also far exceeded the original. Doing nothing, listening to the scriptures in seclusion, he could get nearly 10,000 points a day. For a golden finger with a prehistoric background, this efficiency is already very exaggerated.
Unfortunately, the higher quality imitations are nothing but question marks.
"Senior Brother Meng is here too." Jiang Yi greeted Meng Pingkang. There were actually two Senior Brothers Meng here, but he decided to let Meng Laocai go first. Meng Pingkang was usually nice to him, so he decided to wait until the other Senior Brother Meng was disabled.
"Come, come, Brother Meng. This treasure furnace was carefully refined by me. You can go in and refine it to refine the impurities accumulated in your body. It will surely make your body stronger. This is the same principle as refining pills." Jiang Yi pulled Meng Laocai and walked towards the treasure furnace while talking.
"Junior Brother Jiang, are you sure you won't die?" Meng Laocai's face turned even darker when he heard it, just like refining the elixir. If he didn't want to save a favor, he would have run away long ago. Listen, is this even human language?
"Don't worry, I still have some control over my magic weapon. Oh, and leave the storage bag outside. If it gets damaged when you bring it in, the loss will be huge."
"Okay, in order to verify my junior brother's idea, I will be the experimental subject!" Meng Laocai handed the storage bag to Jiang Yi, and put some treasures he carried with him into the storage bag. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, ready to jump into the furnace. Jiang Yi quickly led him in from the Kan position.
Because it is an imitation of the Eight Trigrams furnace, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, it starts from Kan, which represents water, and the intersection of water and fire makes it easier to control. Moreover, this imitation Eight Trigrams furnace can only be used in the three directions of Xun, Kan, and Li. Xun represents wind, and the monkey was smoked out in the Xun Palace when wind and fire intersected.
The Taoist magic he had mastered from the Dinghai Divine Pearl had allowed him to get a rough idea of the laws of wind and water. It was not as good as the law of fire that he had comprehended many times, but at least he had taken the most crucial step.
As soon as Meng Laocai fell into the furnace, flames instantly hit him in the face. All he saw was fire, and his perception was the same. It was as if he was in an endless hell of fire. The horrifying high temperature made him instinctively want to use his martial arts to resist, but thinking of Jiang Yi's instructions, Meng Laocai gave up.
The Yuanbao Sect robe on his body was burned to ashes in an instant, his hair was ignited, and flames seemed to be running through his seven orifices. The extreme pain stimulated every inch of his nerves. The powerful body of a first-class warrior seemed to be the best firewood, making the flames burn even more violently.
Meng Laocai silently mobilized his martial will. Although he could not use martial will to resist, his [Good Luck] allowed him to use martial will to guide his own future. Although he had never succeeded, even for the next moment, what if he succeeded?
This is the lucky mentality that every disciple of Yuanbao Sect who cultivates the martial spirit of "Good Luck" will have. Many people have died because of this, but now it is just an experiment of gambling on luck.
The extreme pain made time seem especially long. Just when Meng Laocai felt that he would be burned to ashes in the next moment, a faint chill suddenly made his consciousness clear and the pain in his body seemed to be relieved a little, but this feeling was instantly covered by even more intense pain.
Illusion?
It must be an illusion!
In front of the treasure furnace, Jiang Yi directly used the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar, so that he could save more energy. His consciousness was always paying attention to Meng Laocai in the furnace. If he really killed him, it would be a big trouble. In fact, he knew very well that if there was no corresponding body refining secret method, it would be almost impossible to succeed by burning directly.
So is he deceiving a few people?
of course not!
The Law of Fire involves high temperature, burning, destruction, rebirth and other characteristics. What he wants to find is the rebirth after destruction in the Law of Fire! The one who has reached the extreme in this regard is the Fire of Nirvana of the Phoenix Clan. As long as he can understand this level, he can use the power of the law to help others refine the impurities in their flesh and strengthen their blood and vitality. It can also be regarded as a method of body refining, but it is a bit different.
So now Meng Laocai and the others are not helping him experiment with body-refining methods, but helping him find opportunities for enlightenment!
Jiang Yi used his spiritual sense to pay attention to Meng Laocai's condition in the flames, trying to find that opportunity from it.
But unfortunately, opportunities are not so easy to find. After a day and a night of refining, Jiang Yi had to pull Meng Laocai out.
"Tsk tsk, it's completely turned into charcoal!" Pang Tianyun gloated as he looked at Meng Laocai who was lying on the ground and was almost as black as charcoal. But then he thought, wouldn't it be his turn next? He might also become like this, and his mood suddenly became not so good.
"No, all the impurities are burnt!" Jiang Yi waved his hand, and a curtain of rain fell on Meng Laocai, a heavenly rain that integrated the law of water.
Under the nourishment of the sweet rain, the black charred pieces on Meng Laocai's body slowly cracked and emitted bursts of white gas, his blood and energy quickly recovered, and the powerful self-recovery ability of a first-class warrior began to operate on its own. "It's quite interesting, let me try it." Meng Pingkang looked at Meng Laocai who was recovering quickly, and then looked at the huge treasure furnace, and said excitedly.
There is a saying in Chongming Realm that a warrior's physical body is the most powerful weapon!
The master and deputy master of Bailian Hall have both practiced in the furnace of heaven and earth, and he also wants to try the feeling of training himself as a treasure.
"Brother, you are cultivating the [Heavenly Fire] martial spirit. Perhaps you can gain some insights in the furnace." Jiang Yi was very happy. Yes, this Brother Meng was more adventurous.
"I thought so too." Meng Pingkang said as he packed up his things and temporarily handed the storage bag to Jiang Yi for safekeeping.
Jiang Yi threw Meng Laocai's storage bag to Pang Tianyun. When Meng Laocai woke up later, he might not be able to be distracted.
Leading Meng Pingkang into the treasure furnace from the Kan position, Jiang Yi once again started the "human refining" project.
Meng Pingkang is practicing the [Heavenly Fire] martial art, so his resistance to fire is naturally higher than other warriors, which also allows him to be more flexible.
After three whole days, Meng Laocai finally woke up. The charred parts of his body had all fallen off and new skin had grown. There was not a single hair on his body and he looked extremely weak.
"Hey, who is this? His butt is so white." Pang Tianyun had a meaningful smile on his face and joked in a weird tone.
"Humph, you can't run away!" Meng Laocai turned over and said viciously. However, the feeling of being infinitely close to death was indeed terrible. He had no insights, and he failed to guide his future direction as expected, but his state of mind had improved a little, so it was not a complete loss.
The most important thing is that he has obtained Jiang Yi's favor, so it will be easier for him to ask him to refine the weapon in the future.
“Later, I will suggest Junior Brother Jiang to go to Bailian Hall to recruit people. Those who cultivate fire-type martial arts are more suitable than us.” Pang Tianyun threw Meng Laocai’s storage bag over. Meng Laocai only lasted one day and one night, but the other one had already lasted three whole days. Could it be that he really succeeded?
Meng Laocai took out a new set of robes from his storage bag and put them on. He didn't have any special hobbies, but if his junior sister was around, he wouldn't mind showing off his talents.
"I've helped Junior Brother Jiang this time, and then I'll ask him to make a powerful magic weapon for me. Then I'll beat the shit out of you." Meng Laocai wanted to provoke Pang Tianyun with words. How could he embarrass him? He had to drag this bastard into the water. Otherwise, when they meet in the future, this bastard will talk about butts all the time. Who can stand this?
At this time, Meng Pingkang in the furnace was not much better than Meng Laocai before, but he really caught a hint of the changes in the flame and had some insights. Driven by his will, his martial arts ability grew slowly, and he seemed to feel the majestic vitality hidden deeper in his body.
Rebirth after destruction, rebirth...
At this moment, Jiang Yi finally seized the fleeting opportunity and once again entered the mysterious state of enlightenment.
The two of them looked at Jiang Yi who was in a state of enlightenment and were instantly jealous. They had been in the Thousand Caves once before, and it had only been a few years, and now it was happening again?
The next moment, Jiang Mingde appeared in the bamboo forest courtyard. Looking at the two people who were stunned, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go back first."
"Yes, Palace Master Jiang!" The two did not dare to stay any longer and turned around and left.
Jiang Mingde looked at his son who was in a state of enlightenment, and at Meng Pingkang, who seemed to be in the flames of a treasure furnace and looked extremely miserable and seemed to have realized something. So, this was really not nonsense?
Ding Yuansong appeared in the corner of the courtyard in a very strange way, and it seemed as if he had always been there.
"Greetings, Master!" Jiang Mingde bowed.
"Interesting, this method has been tried before, but except for those few gifted warriors, they all failed. Now only some people in the Rongshen realm who cultivate fire-type martial arts use it to assist in comprehension." Ding Yuansong seemed to be standing in a small courtyard in the bamboo forest, but in the perception of others, there was nothing. This was not simply because of a high realm.
"He failed as well." In Jiang Mingde's perception, Meng Pingkang in the furnace only had some new insights into fire, but his physical body did not show any obvious improvement.
"No, he just didn't succeed, that doesn't mean he failed."
Ding Yuansong pointed his finger at the treasure furnace and pulled out Meng Pingkang, who had already completed his enlightenment, and then disappeared. Only the Jiang father and son were left.
