Chapter 1071: The Benefits and Drawbacks of the Flame Yang Bone

Huang Yan's body began to change bit by bit; the fusion of the middle-grade spiritual artifact Flame Yang Blade caused his body to undergo a transformation.

The bone in his chest heated up as well; the Flame Yang Blade seemed to replace that bone's position, emitting a scorching aura that continually nourished the damaged bone, the Flame Yang Bone seemed to show signs of recovery.

Seeing this, Qinglong Daoist couldn't help but exclaim: "Is the Flame Yang Bone going to grow back? The effect is this good!"

"The energy contained in the middle-grade spiritual artifact Flame Yang Blade is very strong, but it cannot directly give birth to a Flame Yang Bone; this kid's idea is good, unfortunately, it cannot be done."

"The Flame Yang Blade helps him temper his body and return to cultivation, not to let him be reborn with a Flame Yang Bone."

Elder Xinran also noticed the problem and reminded: "Kid, don't be too greedy; first heal your body, return to cultivation, then slowly repair the Flame Yang Bone."

Huang Yan heard the two's words, made a change, no longer gathering all energy at the Flame Yang Bone's location, but spreading it throughout his body.

His body emitted scorching energy, a stream of heat constantly evaporated from the top of his head.

Qinglong Daoist and Elder Xinran did not intervene, but stood aside watching silently; this was Huang Yan's personal time, whether he would succeed depended on his fate, their interference would have no effect and would only hasten Huang Yan's failure.

Several more hours passed, it became evening, yet that scorching heat still existed, growing even more vigorous.

Like a flashing sun, it illuminated the surroundings.

This change did not end quickly; Qinglong Daoist stood aside, the surrounding scorching energy was absorbed by him, all entering his Qinglong Yimu Fire, becoming nourishment for the Qinglong Yimu Fire.

Seeing this, Elder Xinran exclaimed in shock: "This can also enhance oneself? Truly a monster, the main body is a monster, the clone is also a monster."

Following this person, one will eventually be stunned into confusion.

Nothing compares; Elder Xinran felt helpless, she who had once been praised as the strongest swordsmanship genius was instantly killed in front of Chen Chuyang, leaving nothing.

She truly felt helpless and could not compare.

Yet this kid was unsatisfied, feeling himself weak and not strong enough, making her feel embarrassed.

Time arrived at the next day.

The middle-grade spiritual artifact is not easy to fuse; although Huang Yan's body is strong, he still needs to bear the terrifying energy emitted by the Flame Yang Blade, his body constantly torn and healed, over and over.

Innumerable heavenly and earthly spiritual qi entered his body, becoming part of it, moistening his flesh.

Huang Yan's cultivation also began to recover.

Or rather, his body can absorb heavenly and earthly spiritual qi without leakage or dissipation.

Finally, it transformed into his own true qi; when the first strand of true qi appeared, the second strand followed.

Huang Yan's body gradually stabilized, the heat waves inside his body were absorbed by his body.

The Great Refining Life and Death Method operated at full power, absorbing the energy of the middle-grade spiritual artifact Flame Yang Blade; the fire-attribute energy coincided with his body, the compatibility was high, absorption was easy.

Those energies now had an outlet, beginning to gather toward the dantian, swarming forth.

At this point, he was basically on the path to success.

Qinglong Daoist's tense nerves gradually relaxed, he showed a smile: "This kid did not disappoint."

Elder Xinran joyfully said: "Yes, this kid succeeded."

The two knew there was basically no problem; failure was impossible.

If Huang Yan failed, it would mean his luck was bad.

Absorbing those energies takes time; Qinglong Daoist and Elder Xinran are tired and need rest; at such times, they need not worry about it.

The two returned to rest.

The next day arrived.

The scorching energy inside Huang Yan's body decreased greatly, having absorbed much of it; his body now contained much true qi, fire-attribute true qi accumulated in the dantian, allowing his cultivation to continually break through.

Without limits or shackles, he broke through rapidly.

His original cultivation was not low; this time, it was merely a restoration of his cultivation.

However, it was also impossible to restore to that former cultivation realm; the energy of the middle-grade spiritual artifact Flame Yang Blade was insufficient to reach that step, even reaching the internal elixir stage could not be supported; ultimately, he stalled at the Peak of the Nine Layers of True Gang.

Due to insufficient energy, he chose to give up advancement; this step must not be taken lightly, accumulation is needed.

To re-condense the elixir, one must gather a high-grade internal elixir; concerning the future, Huang Yan dared not be careless.

He stopped cultivating; the first step of the Great Refining Life and Death Method succeeded; he opened his eyes and immediately knelt before Qinglong Daoist, kowtowing in thanks.

He kowtowed three times in succession, striking the ground hard; one can imagine how excited and grateful he felt.

"Disciple thanks the master for the grace of rebirth; disciple will never forget it."

"Once the disciple has completed his revenge, he will surely serve the master well."

Qinglong Daoist waved his hand: "Enough, no need to keep kneeling; we don't do that here."

"From now on, you need not serve me; you'd be better off finding me some spiritual medicines and various heavenly treasures."

"Yes, Master." Huang Yan remembered Qinglong Daoist's words.

He wanted something practical, not this nonsense.

Qinglong Daoist instructed: "In this step of condensing the elixir, you must maintain good control, do not rush; the higher the internal elixir grade, the greater the benefit to you."

"This step must not be taken lightly, nor be careless."

Huang Yan clasped his hands and said: "Disciple will keep your teachings in mind."

He remembered; this time, his cultivation had partially recovered, indeed he must not rush.

He needs to accumulate, needs to properly improve his cultivation.

The benefits of the Great Refining Life and Death Method began to show; his body became tremendously strong, comparable to a middle-grade spiritual artifact, the heaven-defying fusion with the middle-grade spiritual artifact Flame Yang Blade began to manifest, his physique started to change and kept improving, until completely merging with the Flame Yang Blade and absorbing all its energy, his body would become like the Flame Yang Blade.

In the future, as he continuously absorbs various treasures, his body will further improve.

"The road ahead, you must walk it yourself; what treasures you fuse, you need your own plan; it's best not to fuse anything lower than the Flame Yang Blade's grade."

"My suggestion is to fuse once more before condensing the elixir, then break through the elixir condensation in one go; by then, your internal elixir grade will be high."

"At least a high-grade internal elixir; moreover, it can also promote the rebirth of your Flame Yang Bone."

Huang Yan clasped his hands and bowed: "Disciple understands."

Concerning his own future, he must remember.

Qinglong Daoren nodded with satisfaction, saying that this disciple's greatest trait is that he listens to counsel and is not single‑minded.

"Flame Yang Bone is not very important; you need not be overly attached."

"True strength is one's own power; relying on a single bone will eventually become a burden because of that bone, and as it stands, this is fine."

Huang Yan clasped his hands again: "Yes, master."

Flame Yang Bone forged him, and likewise will destroy him.

Not having the Flame Yang Bone is, on the contrary, a good thing.
