Chapter 99: Golden Crow Holy Fire

Lei Ming's sense of smell is very keen; each time he can point out the direction to Ye Liuyun in advance, so he quickly chased to a valley.

His Divine Sense has already detected the Golden Crow and that Blood Demon Sect disciple, so he did not approach, but watched from afar.

The Golden Crow is blocked in the valley by that Sea Transformation disciple, and is locked in a stalemate with the disciple.

Ye Liuyun, from the memory of that disciple just now, has already retrieved information; the Blood Demon Sect disciple before him is at the Sea Transformation Third Layer Realm, he is not a match, and can only wait from afar for an opportunity.

The Golden Crow repeatedly tries to charge out, but each time is driven back by that man's palm force.

"That Golden Crow is injured, its strength is less than one tenth; otherwise that man wouldn't be its opponent!" Lei Ming uses Divine Sense to communicate with Ye Liuyun, judging the Golden Crow's condition.

"Less than one tenth can still contend with a Sea Transformation Third Layer Realm; how strong would it be at its prime?" Ye Liuyun asks.

"At least it's at the Nascent Core! Anyway, it's not something you can scheme about! This opportunity is perfect! You see it can't maintain its transformed form, it will soon be forced back to its original shape." Lei Ming clearly knows beasts better.

Ye Liuyun also notices that the Golden Crow is gradually becoming insubstantial, as if about to turn into a ball of flame.

However, it becomes even more angry, no longer looking for a chance to flee, but directly attacks that Blood Demon Sect disciple.

It lets out a roaring howl, flames surge from its whole body, and the opposing disciple can only barely resist.

After seeing this, Ye Liuyun intends to sneak attack the Blood Demon Sect disciple, but Lei Ming grabs his sleeve and stops him.

"Now's not the time; even if you sneak attack him, you can't beat the Golden Crow. Trust me, just watch the spectacle. This Golden Crow still has its strongest strike!"

Ye Liuyun thinks of Lei Ming's quirky spirit, and patiently continues to wait.

Not long after, the Golden Crow seems unable to hold on, its flames grow weaker. The Blood Demon Sect disciple rejoices, attacks with full force, compressing the flames smaller and smaller, and the man keeps advancing toward the Golden Crow.

Finally the Golden Crow lets out a wail, full of endless hatred and helplessness, turning into a ball of flame, burning suspended in the air.

The man smiles smugly, approaches to observe.

Suddenly, the flame erupts violently, enveloping the entire area within ten zhang.

"Now is the moment, strike that man!" Lei Ming reminds.

Ye Liuyun instantly darts into the valley. In the valley, the man howls in pain as he rushes out of the fire circle, his whole body already scorched.

At this moment Ye Liuyun feels that another punch sends the man back into the fire circle. The man has almost no resistance left; he had originally exhausted himself to escape. Now being knocked back by Ye Liuyun, he can no longer withstand the flame's scorching and turns directly to ash.

Subsequently, the Golden Crow's fire gradually contracts, becoming a palm-sized ball, slowly drifting to Ye Liuyun's side.

"Your luck is truly great! It thanks you for avenging it, allowing you to refine it. Otherwise, if someone else obtained it, it would meet the same fate of being refined." Lei Ming sees Ye Liuyun trying to avoid the flame and quickly reminds him.

"Huh? Refine? How to refine?" Ye Liuyun asks in surprise.

He knows these people chase the Golden Crow to refine it, but he doesn't know how to refine it.

"Stupid! Envelop it with True Essence, then draw it into the Qi Sea, letting it merge with True Essence as one." Lei Ming says disdainfully.

Ye Liuyun follows the instructions, indeed drawing the Golden Crow flame into the Qi Sea, then letting it merge with True Essence.

The flame has its own consciousness, actively cooperating with his refinement. Soon he has refined a bit.

However, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense discovers that other Blood Demon Sect disciples are about to arrive. So he rides the Bald Vulture to leave, finds a secluded mountain far away, digs a Cave and hides there to refine.

Two days later, the Golden Crow flame is finally fully controlled by Ye Liuyun, able to be used like True Qi. The flame's autonomous consciousness also dissipates.

Ye Liuyun feels the current True Essence; the temperature of this Golden Crow flame is more than ten times higher than his original True Fire, showing how powerful the flame is.

"Of course. The Golden Crow is a Holy Fire, capable of incinerating all things! You really got a great bargain this time! That gives me some credit; you should reward me with grilled meat." Sensing Ye Liuyun's thoughts, Lei Ming immediately replies.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that, to snag such a big bargain." Ye Liuyun laughs.

"Golden Crow Holy Fire? Hmm, I'll test its power first."

Ye Liuyun immediately takes out the iron chunk his aunt gave him before, also brings out the alchemical furnace as a crucible, and begins refining the iron chunk.

He previously tried to refine this iron chunk into a blade, but no matter how he refined it, there was no effect, and he didn't know its material.

After cultivating True Fire, he tried once, but the effect was also insignificant. Unexpectedly, this time it quickly softened a bit.

He feels joy, continues to apply pressure, the Golden Crow Holy Fire erupts, and he watches the iron chunk melt away point by point.

Half a day later, he stops to rest, takes a Condensing Essence Pill, restoring True Essence.

This process of consumption and replenishment actually makes the Golden Crow Holy Fire bind more tightly with its True Essence.

The subsequent refinement speed becomes faster. One day later, Ye Liuyun finally refines the entire iron chunk.

Then, he takes out the mysterious black stone he obtained after suppressing bandits in Zhu Jia Village.

He always feels this black stone holds a mysterious power, though he can't name it. He thinks refining the stone's properties into a blade should enhance its attack.

Thus, he refines the stone as well. Then he merges the two liquids, and using Divine Sense, shapes it into a blade.

Then, full of anticipation, he feeds both the thunder‑electric source power and the Golden Crow Holy Fire's flame source into it, boosting the blade's attack. Lei Ming also assists, adding a bit of thunder‑electric source power.

But at the final shaping stage, a problem arises.

The blade stubbornly refuses to take shape, and the cause is unknown.

Thus, Ye Liuyun stops, searches the Sea of Consciousness for information on forging weapons. In the end he decides to follow an ancient forging method, incorporating his own blood and Soul and try again.

According to records, adding blood can accelerate fusion, while adding Soul allows the forged item to recognize its master.

He inputs a strand of Divine Sense, then drips a few drops of blood; at first there is little reaction, but after everything fully merges, the result is unexpectedly good! The blade quickly begins to solidify.

Moreover, in a daze he feels the blade cheering, being especially close to him.

Lei Ming's eye corner twitches.

"Refining a blade with Soul and Bloodline Power? You actually thought of that; you're being way too careless with your own Bloodline Power!"

Lei Ming, having sensed his Bloodline Power during Ye Liuyun's battles, already knows his Bloodline is extremely strong. Each time she feels that Bloodline Power, she even feels a desire to worship.

Although she doesn't know it's the War God Bloodline, she knows the Bloodline Power is extraordinary. Thus she becomes even more determined to stay by Ye Liuyun's side.

Ye Liuyun ignores her words; as long as the blade can take shape, that's all that matters, otherwise all previous effort would be wasted!
