C78 Geocentric Flame Essence
Loong Potian had not said a word since the beginning, because he did not know how to address Ye Bufan. Junior brother? Master? It wasn't appropriate. There was no need to say anything about it, but regarding Ye Bufan's feelings... Loong Potian would always remember it in his heart. He wasn't a person who could express himself with words. However, it didn't mean that he didn't know how to remember love.
The Head Palace Master looked at his beloved disciple, who had been through ten years and had finally broken through to the Spirit Stage. At the same time, another Spirit Stage warrior had appeared in the Aoyun Sect. He was delighted in his heart. "Potian, you have also broken through to the Spirit Stage. According to the rules of the Aoyun Sect... Next, you will have to choose a mountain range to form your own palace. You have become the Sixth Palace Master of the Aoyun Sect! "
"Thank you, Master!" Loong Potian, who had recovered from his excitement, didn't say much as usual.
The Great Palace Master naturally understood his disciple's character very well. He nodded and said, "You have just broken through to the Spirit Stage. Go back and consolidate your cultivation base. Come to Aoyun Palace on the first day of next month. I have other arrangements for you!"
After Loong Potian bowed to the five Palace Masters, he turned to Ye Bufan and bowed before slowly leaving. Loong Potian took a few steps forward and arrived at the entrance of Martial Arts Hall in less than two steps.
"Tell me, little guy. You are not trying so hard to win the championship for the Spirit Gathering Pill, are you?" The Great Master seemed to be in a good mood today, and a smile was plastered on his face.
After confirming the wisdom of everyone in this world in his heart, Ye Bufan no longer hid it and said, "Yes, winning the championship is because I want to exchange the reward of the Spirit Gathering Pill for the Fire of Earth's Core!"
Fire of Earth's Core?
Fourth Palace Lord smiled and said with a smile, "Is there a need to go all out? With your skill in alchemy, any alchemy room in Danqing Palace can naturally be provided for you to concoct pills at any time!"
The five Palace Masters didn't expect Ye Bufan to offer such a reward. After all, if Ye Bufan concocted pills in Aoyun Sect, Aoyun Sect would naturally get some benefits as well.
Ye Bufan saw that the five Palace Masters didn't understand what he meant, so he said again, "I'm saying that I want the Fire of Earth's Core, not the alchemy room!"
"What? You are saying that you want to extract the Fire of Earth's Core?" Fourth Palace Lord looked at Ye Bufan in surprise.
Even though the other four were experienced, they were still shocked by Ye Bufan's shocking words. Five Spirit Stage warriors didn't even dare to dream of extracting the Fire of Earth's Core. Ye Bufan was an Eighth Rank of Qi Stage warrior. What did he rely on? However, after this period of time, Ye Bufan wasn't a reckless person.
"Yes, I only know how to extract a sliver of Fire Elf from the Fire of Earth's Core. It doesn't have much of an impact on the Fire of Earth's Core!" Ye Bufan said with a firm expression.
The five Palace Masters looked at each other in dismay. No one had expected Ye Bufan to make such a request. The Palace Master turned to Fourth Palace Lord and asked. The Danqing Palace belonged to Fourth Palace Lord, so it was not appropriate for the Palace Master to make the decision on his behalf.
Fourth Palace Lord thought for a moment and said, "I have no objections, but you have to promise that it won't affect the concoction of pills in the future!"
After Fourth Palace Lord expressed his opinion, the palace master naturally didn't want to say anything more. He nodded and said, "Then let's do as you say!"
It was somewhat out of Ye Bufan's expectation for the two Great Hall Masters to express their views so readily. However, after thinking about it, he reckoned that they must be grateful that he had become Loong Potian! He immediately bowed and expressed his thanks.
"Are you confident?" Meng Lingfeng asked with concern.
Only then did the others realize the danger. Ye Bufan's potential was even greater than Loong Potian's. Based on his performance in helping Loong Potian break through, as long as he reached the Peak of Ninth Rank of Qi Stage... If nothing unexpected happened, Ye Bufan would be able to break through to the Spirit Stage even without the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill. If anything were to happen during this period of time, it would be a huge loss to the Aoyun Sect.
To be honest, Ye Bufan didn't have absolute confidence that he would succeed. However, he was worried that the truth would bring about a variable. He said with a firm tone, "I have confidence!"
Of course, Ye Bufan had confidence in his own safety, so he didn't think it was a lie.
"Then I will wait for you in Danqing Palace. You can come after you have rested." Fourth Palace Lord didn't think too highly of the Fire of Earth's Core. With his Fifth Rank of Spirit Stage cultivation base, what he cultivated was the Fire Spiritual Force. The spiritual fire that was produced in his body wasn't any weaker than the Fire of Earth's Core.
Furthermore, Ye Bufan promised that it wouldn't affect the use of the Fire of Earth's Core to concoct pills...
In the next few days, Ye Bufan did not go and watch three to ten people fight for it. Instead, he adjusted his inner strength and consolidated his newly broken cultivation in Wushuang Hall.
Five days later, this year's Aoyun Sect Elite Competition finally came to an end.
The rankings were: Ye Bufan, Loong Potian, Ao Tianxiang, Qi Qiang and Yunqing and Lee Zhile. Hee Qingxuan, Leng Yunfeng, Lin Feihong, and Wei Zijie.
Although Loong Potian was the second runner-up, he had advanced to the Spirit Stage, so his strength was naturally the uncrowned king of this competition. At the same time, he had also become the sixth palace master of the Aoyun Sect. His reputation did not fall but rose instead.
As for Ye Bufan, he had taken out the Spirit Gathering Pill when Loong Potian broke through. In order to prevent the other disciples from thinking too much, the Fifth Palace Master had no choice but to admit that the Spirit Gathering Pill was refined by Ye Bufan. Not only did Ye Bufan become the champion of the Elite Competition, he was also able to concoct a divine pill like the Spirit Gathering Pill. His reputation among his fellow disciples was comparable to Loong Potian, who had reached the Spirit Stage.
Ye Bufan and Loong Potian were even given the title of 'Proud Cloud Twin Heroes' by some disciples! They had become the idols in the hearts of the younger generation disciples.
While many disciples were still thinking about the competition and deciding who was superior and who was inferior, Ye Bufan had already appeared in Danqing Palace.
In the Pill Clarity Hall, the Four Dragon pill cauldron was still emitting a scorching heat. There was a faint Fire of Earth's Core shooting out from the dragon's mouth.
"Are you ready?" Fourth Palace Lord's expression was somewhat serious. After all, Ye Bufan had the same idea. He was also obsessed with alchemy. He had almost lost his life on the spot during an experiment.
Ye Bufan nodded. "I'm ready!"
"Good! If you can't do it, withdraw your inner strength immediately. I will always be by your side protecting you!" After the five palace masters discussed, they unanimously decided that Fourth Palace Lord would stand guard for Ye Bufan. As a cultivator of the Fire Spiritual Force, he had an advantage over the other four palace masters.
Boom! The lid of the cauldron suddenly flew up and landed on the ground beside him.
The Fire of Earth's Core inside the Four Dragon pill cauldron suddenly rose up after losing the suppression of the lid. It swayed its moving body without any wind, emitting a scorching heat.
Ye Bufan walked to the front of the pill cauldron with a solemn expression. He felt the high temperature and his Divine Sense gently enveloped the flame. The inner strength in his body was circulating in his meridians according to the strange route of the Fire Devouring Art.
The Fire Devouring Technique was created by the fifth generation successor of the Alchemy Ancestor in his previous life! At that time, the ancestor was obsessed with alchemy. Unfortunately, he had a wood-attribute constitution and was unable to cultivate the true fire of Taoism. After going through countless hardships and difficulties to create the Art of Devouring Fire out of thin air, he thought that he had already used it to devour the myriad of flames in the world. In the end, he became an outstanding alchemist grandmaster in the Alchemy Sect. He even used the Pill Spell to create a complete fire controlling technique. It had been passed down from generation to generation in the Alchemy Sect.
As Ye Bufan had the wood and fire body in his previous life, he was the best choice to refine the Alchemist. Therefore, he did not have such an experience, but he had some understanding of this story. He had once carefully read the Fire Devouring Art, and he was extremely impressed by this kind of Martial Ancestor. He did not expect that he would actually have the opportunity to use this art in this life...
The strange circulation of inner strength brought a needle-like pain to Ye Bufan's meridians. Ye Bufan frowned and forcefully endured it. The sweat that had just seeped out of his forehead was instantly evaporated by the hot temperature of the Fire of Earth's Core. Ye Bufan's face was flushed red.
"Boundless Heaven and Earth, borrowing the power of the universe! Devour!" With a loud shout, Ye Bufan pointed his right finger at the Fire of Earth's Core in the pill cauldron. It was wrapped in a layer of red flame that was even more intense than the flame.
Fourth Palace Lord also focused his mind and drew his breath when he saw Ye Bufan's action. Spiritual energy had already spread all over his body. He was ready to lend Ye Bufan a hand at any time. Then, he sent out his powerful Divine Sense. It filled the entire Dan Qing Hall, and it was as if the scene in front of him was a movie that was imprinted in Fourth Palace Lord's mind.
As soon as his finger touched the Fire of Earth's Core, a scorching flame passed through Ye Bufan's inner strength and spread throughout his body. Ye Bufan quickly calmed his mind and guided the hot flame to flow through his body according to the path of the Art of Swallowing Fire. He digested it...
The hot flame went through a cycle in Ye Bufan's body and turned into a red dot that sank into his dantian. Feeling the high temperature of the red dot, the inner strength in his dantian consciously opened up a space.
As time passed, red dots kept entering Ye Bufan's dantian. Slowly, they gathered into a crystal the size of a marble. Ye Bufan's face was like a red tide as he stood in front of the pill cauldron without moving. He knew that this was only the beginning. What he was absorbing now was only the firepower on the surface of the Fire of Earth's Core. Without the support of the Fire Elf, the red crystal in his Dantian would fade away with time.
Ye Bufan's left hand formed a strange hand seal in front of his chest with one hand. His face was solemn. He knew that the real highlight had just begun!
"Boundless Heaven and Earth, borrowing the power of the universe. Earth Core Fire Elf, listen to my call. Rise! "
Following Ye Bufan's shout, the Fire of Earth's Core in the pill cauldron began to move violently. The flame suddenly rose, and it seemed as if it was going to burst out of the pill cauldron. Ye Bufan's eyebrows and hair were instantly burnt to ashes by the rising flame. A green flame slowly rose from the pill cauldron, and the surrounding area of the Four Dragons pill cauldron instantly became red. At this moment, the pill cauldron looked as if it was going to be roasted by the green flame.
Fourth Palace Lord looked at the rising green flame within the pill cauldron, and an inexplicable fear rose in his heart. He didn't know how Ye Bufan could summon such a powerful flame. He originally thought that his spiritual fire was enough. Now, he realized that his spiritual fire was like a child's play in front of the green flame.
Even though he was a fire-type cultivator, he could still smell a trace of danger from the high temperature of the green flame. At the same time, the high temperature made Fourth Palace Lord excited. He could clearly feel that following the appearance of the green flame, the fire-type spiritual energy in the alchemy room became terrifyingly dense. Looking at Ye Bufan's appearance, it seemed that there was not much danger at the moment. Separating his expression to monitor everything in the room, Fourth Palace Lord sat cross-legged and started cultivating. It was a great sin to let go of such an opportunity...
At this moment, Ye Bufan, who was focused on sensing the Fire Elf, had no idea what Fourth Palace Lord was doing. He formed a seal with his left hand. He controlled the rising speed of the Fire Elf with great difficulty. At the same time, he wanted to use the seal to extract a part of the Fire Elf from the Fire Elf and absorb it into his body.
In the end, Ye Bufan had still underestimated the power of the Fire Elf. With a muffled groan, Ye Bufan's hand seal loosened, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Earth's Core Fire Elf, which had lost control of itself, suddenly rose rapidly. The layer of inner strength shield on Ye Bufan's right hand made contact with the distorted space on the surface of the Earth's Core Fire Elf. It was instantly disintegrated.
Ye Bufan was anxious. He wanted to pull out the inner strength in his Dantian to resist it, but he was not in a hurry. His right arm was instantly covered by a green flame.
