Chapter 14

"Xing'er, didn't you already break through to Dou Zong before you went out for training? What is going on with your cultivation level now..."

Jiang Cheng had long since noticed Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's cultivation level and asked him worriedly what exactly was going on.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing signaled for Jiang Cheng not to worry, then took the Flame Mantra out of his storage ring and handed it to him.

"Grandfather, my cultivation level dropped because I switched to cultivating this technique."

Hiding things from one's own family is a very foolish thing to do.

"Switched to a different technique?"

Jiang Cheng didn't react at first; could one's cultivation level really regress after switching techniques?

But he realized it immediately after and looked at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

"You switched to a low-tier technique?"

This was no small matter; if something went wrong...

Jiang Cheng hurriedly took the Flame Mantra that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing handed over.

He flipped to the first page, saw the words "Yellow Grade Low Level," and frowned, but he still patiently continued reading.

Only when he saw that the technique's grade could be upgraded did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Before long, Jiang Cheng finished reading and had a rough understanding of this Flame Mantra.

A technique that could help fuse multiple Exotic Fires to level up was indeed miraculous.

It wasn't that Jiang Cheng hadn't seen techniques that could evolve before, but those techniques basically had limits—meaning they could at most evolve to the Earth Grade Advanced level.

Jiang Cheng was somewhat worried about the evolution of this technique's grade.

"Can this Flame Mantra evolve to the Heaven Grade?"

"Grandfather, this Flame Mantra can evolve infinitely by devouring Exotic Fires. If there are enough Exotic Fires for me to absorb, it can even surpass the Heaven Grade."

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing explained.

Jiang Cheng fell silent.

What he wanted to say was, where are Exotic Fires so easy to find? He only knew of ten Exotic Fires, and some were even within the Dou Di clans.

Besides the Exotic Fires within the Dou Di clans, there was the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame in Burning Flame Valley and the Bone Chilling Flame held by Yao Chen, who had previously won the Danta Alchemist Gathering.

Right, there was also a Three Thousand Burning Flame in that star region of Danta.

He didn't fear the current ancestor of Burning Flame Valley, a one-star Dou Saint, but he had heard that the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame was reinforced with seals by every generation of sect masters; even he wasn't confident he could break those seals.

As for the alchemist Yao Chen, there had been no news of him for decades.

Although Danta had the Three Thousand Burning Flame, the Danta Ancestor was a six-star Dou Saint just like him, so he couldn't easily snatch it by force.

At this time, the fact that Shennong Elder possessed the Life Flame was not yet known.

He felt a bit of blame toward Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing for switching techniques without consulting him, but since his grandson had already successfully switched, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything more.

He secretly made up his mind to do his best to help his grandson find Exotic Fires.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing knew what Jiang Cheng was worried about and didn't want his grandfather to worry about his leveling-up issues.

So he took out the Bone Chilling Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame.

"Grandfather, you don't need to worry. Although Exotic Fires are rare, they aren't impossible to find. I found two Exotic Fires in the Northwest Continent this time."

"Bone Chilling Flame!"

He wasn't surprised by the Green Lotus Core Flame, but what caught his attention was this Bone Chilling Flame, ranked eleventh.

Wasn't this Exotic Fire with Yao Chen? How could it appear in this Northwest Continent?

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing didn't intend to hide it from his grandfather and briefly told Jiang Cheng about finding Yao Chen through Xiao Yan.

Finally, to put Jiang Cheng completely at ease, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing specifically called Jiang Cheng over to protect him while he absorbed the Green Lotus Core Flame.

The Bone Chilling Flame's grade was a bit high, and Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing didn't intend to take the risk now.

He decided to keep the Bone Chilling Flame and absorb it later.

Inside the secret chamber, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing sat cross-legged, with the lotus pedestal containing the Green Lotus Core Flame in front of him.

It was his first time absorbing an Exotic Fire, so Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was still a little nervous.

He took the items needed for absorbing the Exotic Fire out of his storage ring.

A Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and a piece of Spirit-Absorbing Stone the size of a thumb.

After adjusting his mindset, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing nodded slightly at his grandfather.

"Let's begin!"

He swallowed the Blood Lotus Pill, and the cold energy quickly burrowed into Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's meridians, finally condensing into a layer of blood-colored cuticle on his body.

Using his soul power, he separated the lotus pedestal from the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Having lost the restraint of the lotus pedestal, the Green Lotus Core Flame suddenly surged nearly several times in size, emitting a temperature even more terrifying than before.

Although his palms were already wrapped in a layer of blood-colored cuticle, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing still felt it wasn't safe enough and wrapped his palms in Dou Qi as well.

He grabbed the Green Lotus Core Flame directly in his hands, and even as it danced wildly in his grip, he had no intention of letting go.

Staring at the cyan flame in his hands, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing found the right spot, decisively thrust his palm into the cyan flame, and grabbed the source fire seed at the center of the Exotic Fire.

Feeling the terrifying high-temperature cyan magma strip in his hand, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not hesitate and swallowed it directly.

As soon as the Exotic Fire was swallowed, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing felt it burning inside his body, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Damn, I'm already a Dou Huang, why does it still hurt so much!"

Enduring the burning pain, he sank his consciousness into his body.

Feeling the cyan flame weaving through his body, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing grabbed the jade bottle containing the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and drank it.

Then, he drove it to circulate through his meridians. After completing the circulation, he wrapped the Exotic Fire in Dou Qi and drove it to follow the Flame Mantra's cultivation route...

As time passed, the refining of the Green Lotus Core Flame and the evolution of the Flame Mantra entered their final stages, and Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's strength also began to rise rapidly.

In the end, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's cultivation level stopped at eight-star Dou Huang, and the Flame Mantra evolved from Yellow Grade Low Level to Xuan Grade Low Level.

Seeing that the technique's grade could indeed be upgraded, and after checking Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's body and finding no abnormalities, Jiang Cheng was finally completely at ease.

After the Gu Xun'er incident, Jiang Cheng worried that his grandson might encounter danger here, so he spent a day opening a space channel in the Snake People Clan that connected to the eastern part of Zhongzhou.

With this channel, Jiang Cheng could come here much faster in the future.

Not only that, but before leaving, Jiang Cheng also indicated that he would send a stronger guard for Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing originally wanted to refuse.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing believed that after Gu Xun'er learned he had a six-star Dou Saint grandfather, she shouldn't come to provoke him again.

Gu Xun'er was brainless, but the Ancient Clan was not; if the people of the Ancient Clan knew their young lady had fallen for a piece of trash from the fallen Xiao Clan, they would probably wish to kill Xiao Yan.

Moreover, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing believed the Ancient Clan wouldn't be so brainless as to provoke a six-star Dou Saint for the sake of a member of the Xiao Clan.

But one can never be too careful; what if they still sent someone to ambush him tomorrow?

He was a cautious person; betting his life that others wouldn't dare to provoke him? That was definitely not an option.

As for why he didn't let Jiang Cheng stay, it was because Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing knew his parents needed his grandfather to watch over them.

For his own safety and for his grandfather's peace of mind, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing agreed.

With this space channel, the Half-Saint sent by Jiang Cheng to protect Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing arrived very quickly.
