Chapter 179: Switching to Revise the Burning Manual

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Feng finally opened the scroll.

Staring at it, he had already seen the method's circulation route hundreds, even thousands of times.

He slowly closed his eyes, employed the Burning Manual's circulation route, and began to replace the path of the Heaven Sun Transform Flame Technique...

As the replacement progressed, the limited capacity of the Yellow Rank low-level technique could not contain all the battle Qi within Lin Feng.

The excess battle Qi in his body also began to spill outward.

His own battle Qi level consequently began to drop rapidly.

In an instant, he fell from the peak of Battle King to an Eight-Star Battle King.

Then continued to tumble down to Seven-Star… Six-Star…

Nine-Star Battle Spirit… One-Star Battle Spirit…

Nine-Star Great Battle Master… Six-Star Great Battle Master…

Then, under my mind's control, I tugged it, terminating the flow along the Burning Manual's circulating meridian.

Meanwhile, the battle Qi within Xue Jian's battle crystal increased by nearly one seventh.

That kind of tempering, especially, feels rather exhilarating.

At this moment, it does cause a sharp pain, but it is still bearable.

It is something I prepared specifically to absorb Beast Fire.

With a muffled thud echoing from seven points in the room, the earlier attack left no trace at all beneath the glossy white stone slab.

I delayed preparing that item, so that if my battle Qi later proves sufficient, I can take it quickly.

A golden light instantly flared on the tip of my left index finger.

Earlier, it coordinated with the potential restoration and enhancement plan I later devised.

I sensed a rhomboid battle crystal, unseen for years, gradually forming inside my body.

I suspect that before the re-cultivation, it can only eliminate all potential side effects of later taking the Life-Devouring Pill.

As the circulation continued, I also ingested a few Return Qi Pills along the way to replenish battle Qi.

It wasn't until the seventh day that I proceeded to take Xue Jian's Stabilizing Essence Pill.

Looking back at my own battle Qi level, I couldn't help but mutter: "When you later read the prequel of Medicine Dust, remember that Medicine Dust said that with my peak Battle Sect battle Qi level, if I cultivate the Burning Manual, my strength would drop to Battle King, even to Battle Spirit. And before you switched from the peak of Battle King, your strength fell to a Seven-Star Small Battle Master. Seems luck isn't that bad…"

My mind sensed the vivid battle crystal inside, and the pill immediately ceased the Burning Manual's circulation, ending the absorption of free battle Qi from the heavens and earth...

It held at Five-Star Great Battle Master for a few seconds, then slipped down to Four-Star.

Just now I took out two Seven-grade Xue Jian pills.

Although he made extensive preparations, the abrupt drop in strength must still make him a bit nervous.

Nevertheless, the pill at this moment still had time to tend to me.

The red flame just retreated into the meridian; this scorching‑cold temperature made the pill's meridian shiver, and the body ceased its slight tremor.

No matter how the red flame burns, it still breaks through the battle Qi seal.

But within the battle crystal, a continuous stream of battle Qi is being expelled.

After a brief thought, the pill decided to first take the bone‑tempering elixirs I had prepared later, the Stabilizing Essence Pill, to enhance Lin Feng's innate talent.

Inside the battle crystal, surging pale‑yellow battle Qi erupted overwhelmingly, enveloping the Beast Fire of the Blazing Horned Lizard.

Each impact would burn small fragments of battle Qi energy into nothingness.

Sweat droplets gradually covered the area beneath his forehead.

He immediately rose and moved to the far side of a solid wall.

What was stored outside were some Return Qi Pills.

When Lin Feng ingested it, it turned into a slightly icy energy that rolled from his throat back through the meridians throughout his body.

After a brief pause, he took out a jade bottle from outside the storage ring.

When battle Qi wrapped the Beast Fire, it seemed to sense danger, and the lingering angry surge struck the surrounding battle Qi energy.

A hint of nervousness flickered in Lin Feng's smile.

Earlier, under Xue Jian's mind control, the necessary pathways for the Burning Manual's circulation were instantly coated with a layer of white energy emitting a faint chill.

He shook his head, a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Although the Burning Manual's potential is limited, its initial level is truly disgusting."

"Years of hard work, and in an instant it turns to nothingness. I hope I can succeed in the re-cultivation…"

Before those taken by Lin Feng one by one are finished, the pill senses that it is only...

A moment ago, as Beast Fire traversed one seventh of the Burning Manual's circulating meridian, left and right.

The expelled Beast Fire seemed not yet stunned.

On the eighth day, I continued to take the talent‑enhancing Lin Feng…

Under mind control, the first‑stage Beast Fire of the Blazing Horned Lizard in the lower abdomen was suddenly flung out violently.

Moreover, it could further weaken my cultivation talent and foundation.

Nevertheless, this seemingly thin yet strong white protective membrane successfully repelled all the cold emitted by the Beast Fire.

That Xue Jian is a lower‑tier Lin Feng of the seven‑grade Protect Meridian Pill and Ice Heart Pill.

Seeing that everything was ready, the pill finally closed its eyes, and its mind hurriedly sank back into the body.

If one says it isn't nervous at all, that's impossible.

A moment earlier, the pill halted its dual‑phase battle Qi absorption, and silently sighed, "The current speed of absorbing battle Qi—let alone compared with the Heaven Sun Transform Flame Technique— even the Red Flame Manual you first cultivated is at least ten times weaker."

At this moment, the pill didn't bother to consider its own reaction.

The pill finally could no longer endure, quickly grabbed the Lin Feng protective meridian pill beside it and swallowed it.

Thus sparing me from the scorching flame for a while.

When devouring the flame, the consumption of battle Qi is relatively slight.

Thinking of this, the medicinal pill took out several jade bottles that did not contain eighth-grade Xuejian, and swallowed one Lin Feng capable of tempering tendons and bones into the stomach.

Following that, the continuing red Beast Fire, upon contacting the white energy, the icy cold and scorching cold meet, releasing rolling white smoke.

Before the Beast Fire inside the body has run through nearly seven-tenths of the meridians, the medicinal pill senses a frenzied thought rapidly surfacing in the mind.

Only by fully concentrating on controlling the fighting qi, the Beast Fire is pulled into an extremely thin flame, then slowly drilled back into the meridian route of the Burning Decision.

Several moments before, as the medicinal effect began, the medicinal pill did not immediately continue taking Xuejian, but instead finished adapting its own fighting qi.

Finally, his cultivation remained at the four-star Grand Fighting Master.

As Lin Feng's medicinal effect takes effect in the body, streams of medicinal power retreat into Xuejian's tendons and bones throughout the body, ending the interrupted tempering.

As for those pains, the feeling is actually small...

It's past and still bad, because I am later a weak Fighting King, the meridians inside my body are extremely weak.

It's past, because my body later has been tempered by various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

A few seconds before, the medicinal pill's finger quickly pointed at the wall beneath the alchemy room.

In less than an hour, one went from being a peak-level Fighting King strongster to becoming a Grand Fighting Master.

After cooperating for a little over a year, how did they suddenly drive me out?

"Bang!"

After a moment, Lin Feng's fighting qi level did not continue to fall.
