Chapter 254: Life Simulation
Sizzle! Sizzle!
As soon as the fiery net touched the fierce spirit's body, white mist seeped out, permeating the air with a constant sizzling sound. Even though it did not possess much spiritual wisdom, the Fallen Heart Flame was able to directly affect its soul, causing burning pain that was unavoidable.
As the fierce spirit struggled, a blood-red sticky mist continued to gush out from its body, colliding with the surrounding invisible fire net, viciously eroding each other.
"Hmph!" Seeing the fierce spirit's resistance, a cold color flashed across Venerable Tian Huo's eyes, and the seals on his hands abruptly changed. The fire net began to shrink, and as it did, the fierce spirit within it also became smaller.
"Xiao Ming, increase the intensity of the Fallen Heart Flame!" Venerable Tian Huo ordered.
Hearing this, Xiao Ming, who was watching from the side, immediately nodded and snapped his finger, sending a stream of Dou Qi that landed on top of the burning net. As the net engulfed the Dou Qi, the invisible flames surrounding it grew denser and denser. The fierce spirit emitted constant shrieks of anger, but no matter how violently it struggled, it was still unable to break the bonds of the burning net.
As more and more Dou Qi was added, the temperature of the Fallen Heart Flame became more and more terrifying. Only moments later, the fierce spirit finally exploded with a miserable shriek, turning into a sticky, bloody mist floating in the fiery net.
Seeing this scene, Venerable Tian Huo finally let out a faint sigh of relief. The seals on his hands changed, and the fiery net gradually dissipated, turning into a flaming cauldron about three meters in size. Inside the cauldron was the sticky, blood-colored mist. The temperature within the cauldron was extremely frightening, and under the high-temperature refining, the mist slowly began to fade. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
Xiao Ming knew that as long as the blood mist was completely refined, the fierce spirit would turn into pure soul power. However, this refinement process was slow, and it would take at least three to four days to complete.
"Next, I need your help to maintain the cauldron. I can't handle its consumption in my current state," Venerable Tian Huo said to Xiao Ming, looking at the blood-colored mist refining in the cauldron.
"Hm." Xiao Ming smiled and nodded. He only needed to provide enough Dou Qi to maintain the Fallen Heart Flame while Venerable Tian Huo controlled the flame. It wouldn't consume too much energy.
Venerable Tian Huo closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the air, emitting a trace of soul power to control the flames in the cauldron.
Xiao Ming retrieved the high-level alchemy inheritance he had obtained earlier and began to assimilate its contents by dipping his soul into it.
...
It was past midnight, and the flickering light illuminated Xiao Ming's perfect profile in the quiet secret room.
