In the blink of an eye three days passed.
For the past three days, Lin Cheng had been constantly cultivating. The rich Essence Qi had doubled his cultivation speed, almost comparable to the speed at which he used Spirit Stones to cultivate previously.
While he was cultivating, Lin Cheng was also trying to refine the azure fire. In reality, ever since he stepped into the Arterial Circulation Realm, he had been constantly cultivating. Refining the azure fire made his cultivation speed even faster.
In the end, it was also very satisfying. Based on his understanding of the blue flames, Lin City had already refined three different types of flames. Now, these three types of flames had already merged into a slightly thicker flame.
This flame was being nurtured in his dantian. Beside that blue flame was that strange black metal piece. The two of them were safe and sound … In reality, ever since this black metal block of unknown origin inexplicably entered his dantian, there was no reaction, nor was there any phenomenon of crazily absorbing the soul force in his body like in the East State Academy.
Lin City would have completely forgotten that there was such a dark thing in his dantian if he didn't want to keep the azure fire in his dantian.
Now that he saw the blue colored fire in his dantian not stirring up the slightest bit of reaction from the black iron lump, he didn't have any hope. He believed that the black iron block could crazily absorb the spiritual energy in the outside world like a bottomless pit, and could even make the East State Academy's spirit stones unable to emit any light.
That was why Lin City knew that he could not figure out what it was. It was because his horizons were currently too narrow and his cultivation was too shallow.
As long as he continued his cultivation like this, one day, he would be able to force the black metal out of his dantian!
So, for the past three days, Lin City only focused on training and refining the azure flames.
While refining the azure fire, Lin City's strength was also steadily increasing. Although the remaining four meridians were still not opened and he only had two chakras, the elemental energy in his body had greatly increased.
However, Lin Cheng was unsatisfied with the current progress, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
A few days had already passed, and he believed that the experts from the East Region Academy and even the nearby sects had definitely arrived. He had to be careful around the monsters in the Boundless Forest, so he had delayed quite a bit of time, but for those experts, this was not a big problem.
Perhaps the demon beast that he met in the last few days that had given him a huge pressure was not so much a threat to those who had entered the Danhai Realm. Naturally, the other party's speed would be much faster than his.
At this time, the speed at which he was refining the azure fire had already reached its limit, and the two chakras in his meridians were already frantically spinning. He desperately tried to absorb the heaven and earth origin energy, but he was only able to refine one flame per day.
"Looks like I can only take things slow. This berserk blue flame is really too frightening!"
Lin Cheng silently lamented in his heart. His understanding of the azure fire could be considered to have deepened.
In his previous life, even though he had obtained a strand of blue flame, he had never seen the green blue flame go so berserk. Moreover, in his previous life, he did not have the slightest cultivation, so collecting that wisp of blue flame was already extremely difficult.
However, reality taught him a lesson and made him realize that azure fire, a true flame of the world, was absolutely not something that could be refined that easily.
He had been too careless previously, and the rapid increase in his strength had made him somewhat arrogant.
Thus, Lin Cheng calmed his heart and began to seriously refine every fire tongue.
He said to himself in his heart, "Even if he is unable to obtain the core essence of the azure fire, being able to refine a few more flame tongues will still greatly increase his alchemy level." Perhaps this is the only opportunity I have, but it's much better than what I had in my previous life. "
His mentality had changed when he suddenly realized that the speed at which he was refining the fire tongue had increased.
He could not help but gain a few more insights. Training was not only a matter of raising one's cultivation realm, but also a matter of refining one's heart. An increase in one's mental state was equally important.
With this realization, Lin Cheng completely cast aside the impatience in his heart and calmed himself as he focused on refining the flame tongue.
On the cliff.
"Junior brother Cheng, you're here!"
The Head Elder smiled and said warmly.
The other elders of the Eastern Region Academy also clasped their fists and greeted him with smiles on their faces, "Greetings senior brother Cheng!"
If Lin Cheng were here, he would have noticed that even Seventh Elder Shui Ang, who had always been cold, was similarly beaming with smiles. He was both enthusiastic and respectful. "Hello, Senior Brother Cheng."
Opposite the few elders stood a few people, led by a handsome young man dressed in white. He looked very young, but was respectfully addressed as Senior Brother by a few Elders of the East Region Academy. He did not show the slightest modesty, only nodding slightly in greeting.
If this attitude was applied to other youngsters, the water anise and the others would've surely been greatly displeased, but they didn't feel the slightest bit displeased at the moment. They didn't feel that this young man was arrogant at all, and was instead overjoyed when senior brother Cheng nodded towards them.
Because, this young man named Cheng Qin Luo was a person of the Myriad Sword Sect!
Moreover, it was the personal disciple of an elder of the Myriad Sword Sect!
He was a powerful cultivator at the Danhai Realm!
"Junior brother Cheng, did you run into any trouble along the way?" The Great Elder chuckled and asked.
"This area is the territory of my Myriad Sword Sect, what trouble can we encounter?" Cheng Shuang waved his hand in a nonchalant manner and said, "I met a demon beast not too far from here. I saw that evil creature preparing to attack the students of the East Region Academy, so I drove it away."
The few elders were shocked. The Great Elder asked, "Junior Brother Cheng, are you talking about that White Tiger?"
Chengdu nodded and said, "That's right, it's a White Tiger. Its cultivation isn't bad, but it doesn't dare to challenge my Myriad Sword Sect. After I revealed my identity, he obediently stepped aside. What? Deacon Su, you've seen that White Tiger before? "
"I'm not afraid of Junior Brother Cheng's joke. This isn't the first time I've crossed swords with this guy. Back then, a teacher of the academy brought a student into the mountains to gain experience and accidentally provoked him. As a result, more than a dozen students died."
The Great Elder smiled bitterly, "In order to teach this White Tiger a lesson, I brought the other Elders of the academy to encircle and annihilate the White Tiger, and then the strength of this beast is extremely strong. The five of us together actually did not get rid of it, and in the end, it was a senior from the sect who came to inspect, and after hearing about this he taught the White Tiger a lesson, but he still allowed it to escape.
Cheng Qin waved his hands nonchalantly, "It's alright. If that evil creature dares to continue wreaking havoc, I'll inform Master when I return to the mountain and kill him!"
The Great Elder happily replied, "That would be for the best!"
"However, for now, I should first collect the Heavenly Treasures." Cheng Yeluo's gaze was fixed on the cliff in front of them. The green light was dense, but it was also filled with a burning feeling.
"Junior brother Cheng, according to my calculations, this treasure should be the legendary true flames of the world — Azure Flame." The Great Elder said, "If we can obtain this azure fire, it will be of great help to both alchemists and blacksmiths."
"That's right!"
Cheng Qin Luo nodded slightly and said, "The rumors say that the azure fire did indeed stay here, but it is extremely dangerous in the Boundless forbidden area. Cheng Qin Luo nodded slightly and said," The rumors say that the azure fire did stay here, but it is very dangerous in the Boundless forbidden area.
The Great Elder smiled. "Junior Brother Cheng, didn't you just say that you encountered a student who was attacked by a White Tiger on the way here?"
Cheng Shuanghuo's eyes lit up. "You mean we should let those students collect the blue flames?"
"Junior brother Cheng, these students are all under the Danhai Realm. They will not be affected when they descend into the forbidden area. In addition, more than half of the students in the academy have arrived. There are a large number of them, and even if no one can collect a wisp of blue fire, with so many people, it would be more than enough to collect all of the blue fire. "
The first elder said softly, "Once the students have gathered the blue flames, we will begin to refine them. Wouldn't that be an easy feat?"
Cheng Qin Luo couldn't help but reveal a smile. He looked at the students that were waiting in a corner and nodded his head: "Deacon Su, your idea isn't bad. Let's do it this way!"
The Great Elder smiled. "Then Junior Brother Cheng, please rest for a moment. I'll arrange for the students to make preparations."
Cheng Qin Luo was very satisfied with the Great Clan Elder's attitude, and smiled: "Manager Su, don't worry, once we collect the blue flames and return to the sect, I will definitely explain your contributions to Master. At that time, the sect will definitely give you rewards and rewards, you must be mentally prepared!"
The Great Elder humbly replied, "To be able to help Junior Brother Cheng and the sect is my greatest achievement."
Erlang Shen laughed out loud complacently.
In the distance.
Many students looked at the Great Elder and the others who were standing near the cliff. Their eyes were filled with reverence.
There were quite a few students who were surprised to see the Great Elder being so respectful to a young man. Some of them even asked him in a low voice.
"You don't know about that, do you? The cultivator who drove the Monstrous Beast away must have been an expert from the Myriad Sword Sect. The Great Elder himself was born in the Myriad Sword Sect, so what's so strange about being respectful to that expert? " Someone said.
"But …" Since the Great Elder was also from the Myriad Sword Sect and was older than the young man, it was natural that the young man would be respectful to the Great Elder. But now … "It's the other way around!" Someone could not help but say. Seeing their respected Great Elder being so respectful in front of a young man, they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
