Chapter 394: Refining the Jin Wu Yaoyan

Canglan Main Hall.

Lin Chen meets Qiao Yuan.

When the two meet again, Qiao Yuan still has a cold face: "You being able to come here did not disappoint me."

Lin Chen understands the meaning of Qiao Yuan's words. If he had chosen to give up the one hundred thousand consecutive victory challenge, then Qiao Yuan would not have needed to take the Innate Pill, and he would not have been brought to the Main Hall by the Sect Master.

"You need not thank me; I am not doing this for you, but for the Canglan Sect."

Qiao Yuan, seeing Lin Chen about to speak, interrupts him first: "Achieving one hundred thousand consecutive victories can attract more geniuses to join the Canglan Sect. I hope you do not disappoint me."

After speaking, Qiao Yuan turns and leaves, from beginning to end not giving Lin Chen a chance to speak.

Because as he said, his breaking through to the Innate realm at this time is not for Lin Chen, but for the Canglan Sect.

Unlike many disciples who joined the Canglan Sect after revealing their talent once they started cultivation, he had already entered the Canglan Sect at the age of six and has a sense of belonging to the Canglan Sect far exceeding other disciples.

When other disciples were discussing who was the number one genius under twenty, he chose to challenge Lin Chen, not just out of the arrogance of a genius, but also as a protection of the sect's number one.

If Lin Chen wants to become the sect's number one genius under twenty, he must have the strength to defeat him.

Only by defeating him is one worthy of taking this title.

The sect is not without hostile sects. Once one becomes number one, one will become a target for other sects to challenge. Facing challenges, whether one is cowardly or fails, will leave handles to be mocked by other forces.

Lin Chen looks at the departing back, a look of contemplation in his eyes; he now understands Qiao Yuan somewhat.

People like Qiao Yuan view the sect as more important than their own lives.

If it were someone else today, Qiao Yuan would still do the same.

……

Just a quarter of an hour after Qiao Yuan left the hall, Sect Master Ji Cangtian's figure appeared once again, only this time there were three flags in his hand.

Ji Cangtian explains to Lin Chen: "These two flags in my hand were crafted by a forging expert in the Qianji Domain and can be considered two arrays. Each flag contains a strand of Innate Fire. In terms of the richness of the Innate Fire, it is enough for you to absorb. And this flag in my left hand contains the Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame."

"Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame?"

Lin Chen's eyes narrow slightly. On the way to the Canglan Domain, because he cultivated the Wujin Shenxiang Jue, he asked Lin Lin Shixiong Gao about some Innate Fires of the Yan Huang Dynasty.

Lin Lin Shixiong Gao mentioned several types, among which was the Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame.

The Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame is a very special Innate Fire. Its flames contain poisonous mist and carry corrosive energy. Anything it touches is instantly corroded into liquid and then burned to nothing by the flames.

Some special objects, their hardness is such that even Li Fire cannot burn them, but facing the Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame, they cannot maintain their state; this is because of the special nature of the Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame.

If he wants to refine and absorb the Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame, he must be extremely careful, and now he only has three days; this Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame is likely unsuitable.

"Sect Master, what about the other type of flame?"

"Jin Wu Yaoyan."

Hearing this name, Lin Chen's mouth twitches slightly; this is also not a simple Innate Fire.

According to Lin Lin Shixiong Gao, the Jin Wu Yaoyan is rumored to be condensed from the essence of the ancient fierce beast, the Jin Wu. During the ancient period, there was a fierce beast, the Jin Wu; when its feathers flapped, the wild was scorched for a thousand miles, rivers were boiled, and seas were cooked. After its death, its corpse and essence would slowly turn into a special flame.

The special thing about the Jin Wu Yaoyan is that there are Jin Wu phantoms rampaging within its flames. It is unlike ordinary flames; even the Li Fire he absorbed and refined back then followed the rules of fire, where the temperature increased bit by bit or spread in one direction.

But the Jin Wu Yaoyan has no rules or directions to follow; it is highly likely to suddenly erupt with terrifying high temperatures and then suddenly head in a certain direction.

Ji Cangtian also knows that these two types of flames are not the most suitable Innate Fires for Lin Chen to refine and absorb at his current stage, but the Canglan Sect mainly cultivates Canglan energy, so in terms of Innate Fire, they only have enough fire-attribute Innate energy stored for disciples to break through.

The fire-attribute energy possessed by the sect is extracted from those Innate Fires or special objects containing Innate fire-attribute energy, which will not cause too much harm to disciples.

But if one wants the Wujin Shenxiang Jue to break through, it cannot be done by the fire-attribute Innate energy extracted by the sect; it must be the most primitive Innate Fire.

Primitive fire requires a special environment, and there is no primitive Innate Fire within the Canglan Domain.

"Disciple chooses the Jin Wu Yaoyan."

Lin Chen does not ask the Sect Master if there are other Innate Fires. If there were others, the Sect Master would naturally inform him.

Since the Sect Master only brought these two flags, it means the sect only stores these two types of Innate Fire.

Compared to the Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame, the Jin Wu Yaoyan has a lower risk.

To be precise, the possibility of successful refining is higher.

"Good."

Ji Cangtian nods. Lin Chen choosing the Jin Wu Yaoyan is within his expectations. The Purple Nightmare Corrosive Flame is too corrosive; even if one wants to absorb it, one should cooperate with other elixirs to first let the body resist the poisonous mist before considering refining it.

"I will protect you throughout the process. If there is danger, I will take action to save you."

Ji Cangtian comforts Lin Chen. Lin Chen's potential is here; he cannot stand by and watch Lin Chen encounter danger. But there is one more thing he does not tell Lin Chen: it is not just him who will protect him throughout; there is also a Junior Uncle behind the scenes who will be watching.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Lin Chen nods. Ji Cangtian says no more. Even with him protecting Lin Chen, whether he can refine the Jin Wu Yaoyan in three days depends on Lin Chen himself; no one can help with this. "Go!"

Ji Cangtian throws the flag in his right hand; it lands in the center of the hall and begins to spin.

Along with the spinning of the flag, Lin Chen seems to hear a high-pitched, sharp cry flying out from the flag, making his whole body's blood boil.

Li!

The next moment, a loud sound echoes through the hall.

The spinning flag suddenly disappears, replaced by a golden phantom flapping its wings and crying out, crashing towards the top of the hall.

There are stars flowing in the direction of the hall, blocking this golden figure from breaking through the roof. The golden figure falls back to its original place, unwilling. Only then does Lin Chen see clearly what this golden figure is.

A three-legged creature, resembling a bird but not a bird.

Three-legged Jin Wu!

At this moment, the Jin Wu phantom dissipates, and terrifying flames like a scorching sun instantly fill the fifty-zhang area of the hall. The waves of flames pour down like a scorching sun, twisting the space.

Ji Cangtian looks at Lin Chen. Lin Chen nods: "Sect Master, then disciple is going."

As he approaches the flame range, Lin Chen feels his skin and bones stinging unbearably—this is not ordinary high temperature, but violent energy containing ancient fierce intent. The golden flowing fire is like millions of red-hot steel needles piercing his pores.

As expected of the Jin Wu Yaoyan.

Lin Chen takes a deep breath and operates the Wujin Shenxiang Jue. A layer of faint Li Fire appears on his body surface, making this stinging sensation disappear.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Boom!

The moment he touches the flames, Lin Chen's figure is instantly swallowed.

"Little guy, I hope you can create another miracle this time."

Looking at Lin Chen, who is swallowed by the flames, Ji Cangtian's old eyes narrow slightly.

……

Boom boom boom!

Inside the flames, Lin Chen's body staggers several times.

The Jin Wu Yaoyan is different from Li Fire; not only does it contain terrifying high temperatures, but the violent energy within the flames rampages. In just a few breaths, Lin Chen's face turns pale, and the Li Fire on his body becomes dim.

Lin Chen forcibly operates the Wujin Shenxiang Jue. Red veins gradually appear on his body surface, a Li Fire mark faintly appears on his forehead, and his entire figure is constantly expanding, finally turning into a ten-zhang giant, only then stabilizing the violent impact of the Jin Wu Yaoyan.

Lin Chen is not happy because his figure has stabilized; this is only the first step, and it is still far from the goal.

He has only stabilized his figure in the Jin Wu Yaoyan; what he needs to do next is to absorb the Jin Wu Yaoyan, which is the most difficult step.

When he absorbed the Innate Li Fire, he only needed to withstand the terrifying high temperature, but now he not only needs to withstand the terrifying temperature, but also the violent Jin Wu energy contained within it.

Whether the meridians in his body can withstand it, even Lin Chen is not sure.

"Already walked to this step, impossible to give up."

Lin Chen takes a deep breath and begins to let the Li Fire around his body slowly fade. As the Li Fire fades, the energy of the Jin Wu Yaoyan constantly begins to approach his body surface.

"Absorb for me!"

Three breaths later, Lin Chen gives a light shout, and his whole body, like a whale absorbing water, has strands of Jin Wu Yaoyan energy pouring into his body.

The Jin Wu Yaoyan enters his body and actually turns into a Jin Wu, suddenly wrapping around the flame flow and crashing into his meridians, rampaging.

Crack crack crack!

The meridians all over Lin Chen's body are almost carbonized in this violent energy impact, and his bones make a crisp sound of jade shattering.

Outside the flames, Ji Cangtian's old eyes narrow slightly, and his right hand is already raised. If something goes wrong, he will immediately pull Lin Chen out of the flames.

The surging Jin Wu energy rampages between the meridians and finally pours towards the dantian. However, the soul figure in Lin Chen's consciousness sea suddenly opens its eyes, its pupils burning with faint blue light—the Canglan Heart perceives danger and manifests itself. Ice-blue energy pours out from the heart, sweeping over the charred body like a tide, forging a cycle between the destruction and rebirth of flesh and blood.

Feeling this scene, Ji Cangtian's raised hand is put down once again.

……

……

And at this moment, outside the hall, Liang Hanyang and Chai Daoqi are anxiously pacing and waiting. They know that their Little Junior Shidi is currently absorbing Innate Fire inside the hall.

With the Sect Master there, the Little Junior Shidi will not be in life-threatening danger, but they still want to know the result as soon as possible.

"Second Lin Lin Shixiong, do you think Little Junior Shidi can succeed?"

"Should be able to."

Liang Hanyang does not give a definite answer; it is really because three days is too short.

If the time were long, the Little Junior Shidi could slowly familiarize himself with the characteristics of the Innate Fire and refine it strand by strand. But with only three days, it means the Little Junior Shidi must absorb enough Innate Fire from the very beginning.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to refine enough Innate Fire within three days to allow the Wujin Shenxiang Jue to break through.
