Chapter 182: Seizing the flame, elemental accupoints (2)

"Your frost qi is an exact opposite to the beast flame's fire qi. For an efficient and hopefully complete absorption of the beast flame, I need you to pour the frost Qi into Qin Wen and my body. It would help create harmony between the two opposing elements and help Qin Wen absorb the beast flame easily, without much wastage."

"You need to take care of three important points while supplying your Qi into Qin Wen's body. The first one is to be consistent in providing it. Throughout the whole process, you would be required to supply a lot of QI into his body nonstop. A single break mid-way might result in an absurd and sudden imbalance creating an unfavorable scenario for both of us."

Su Menqi started to get on her nerves. "How am I supposed to supply such a large amount of Qi to you. Although my cultivation is nearing your level, it is no-where near enough to appease your demands."

Lu Ming came forward and handed another porcelain bottle. "This contains another set of a more potent variety of Qi rejuvenation pills. The energy contained within the components is quite large and hence I advise you to intake the pill only when you are near the bottom level in Qi reserves."

"I guess you would require not more than half of these in the upcoming process. The rest is a gift for you." Su Menqi couldn't help but eye the bottle with sparkles in her eyeballs. This was an extremely rare medical resource and Lu Ming gave it for free. She was quite thankful to him.

Long Tao couldn't help but smile. The self-operational avatars were just extensions of him. They felt the same way towards Su Menqi like he did.

"I guess we should get starting with the absorption process." Qin Wen came forward to interrupt the conversation. They still had one more region to go and also hunt for the beats to claim the first prize.

.....................................................................

The Crimson Lord world-

The Keeper was busy advising Long Tao on how to perform the absorption in a proper and efficient way. The Crimson wolf flame was a high-ranking beast flame which was incomparable with the previous flame salamander beast flame he possessed. 

"The first thing you need to remember is the fact that there couldn't exit two types of beast flame in a normal cultivator's body. The reason is that the stronger flame always devours the weaker. But your case seems to be a bit different. Due to the presence of 9 separate avatars beside you, you can successfully contain any number of beast flame (at least 9 by his assumption), separate within your body."

"The process to execute it is by transferring the flame salamander's flame into another avatar and then absorbing the Crimson foxfire. You can then freely utilize both of them."

"As per the usage of frost energy to absorb the beast flame, you need to take it slow. Just absorb thin strands of fire energy and engulf it into the frost energy gained from Su Menqi. You should be able to easily absorb it after that. As time goes by, absorb more and more strands and continue the process as you did with the flame salamander's flame."

"The only take is that there is an intermediate user of frost energy. Also, whenever you feel like your body is swelling, I will just pull the extra energy and transfer it to one of the other avatars. So, you can just go ahead without any thoughts regarding precautions."

The process soon began.

.....................................................

In the middle of the cave, two figures were residing in a train posture, with Su Menqi sitting behind Qin Wen and attaching her hands to his back. She revolved her Qi and began transferring it into his body. The other source of energy was the glowing peace of flame core obtained from the wolf king.

Interiors of Qin Weng's body-

The flame energy instantly tried to create turmoil inside Long Tao's body, but the frost energy helped to keep it calm. The power slowly increased as Qin Weng began assimilating the Qi into his vessels and rotated it within his body. Even with this tiny amount of energy being transported, Qin Weng was already feeling the burden on his Qi vessels.

This was also the time a familiar feeling began arising within his body. It was the same feeling when he was absorbing the energy within the fire vein. Qin Weng decided to concentrate the fire energy into that particular point, and to his surprise, it got readily absorbed. As more and more energy was supplied to that point, the glow and feeling of power began to increase, until a certain point after which a sudden jolt ran through Qin Weng's body.

............................................

"Boy does that location looks familiar to you?" The Keeper asked in a curious voice. Qin Wen decided to probe the location and found out; it was exactly like the acupoints he uncovered using the weapon tempering formula. "How can this be!" Qin Weng exclaimed.

"I guess these are acupoints which only responds to elemental Qi. I guess you felt the same sensation as the time when you were absorbing the Qi from the fire vein."

"It also means that the only way to open it would be through extremely concentrated fire essence, like the beast flame you are absorbing."

Qin Weng decided to experiment a little deeper into the situation. He readily absorbed the fire energy into the acupoint, while the frost energy was being left at its original location in expectations of some reaction to occur by their presence. Soon enough the first acupoint was totally filled up and a new point began to absorb the fire energy.

"I guess there are a series of these elemental acupoints corresponding to the respective element. You would need to concentrate on collecting some elemental resources to open more of these acupoints."

.......................................….

Unknown to Qin Weng his cultivation was also taking a slow leap. The extra energy obtained from the beast core manages to help him ascend a level into the level 7 of Qi general.

"You need to be steady. We need to probe how many acupoints can we open this way and whether or not the beast flame is useful after the absorption. You might need to change your technique after this absorption."

So the process continued.
