454. Danta Fire
Just as the flames were about to burst into bloom, Xiao Yan caught them in his arms. His Dou Qi circulated according to the Burning Flame Technique, and the purplish-red flames within his body stirred instinctively. However, the Red Lotus Heart Flame, sensing that Xiao Yan's hands held only two ordinary flames, subsided once more.
The Pill Tower Dou Zun, sensing Xiao Yan's attack, instinctively flew into a rage: "Where did this idiot come from? I can tolerate him secretly learning from me for so long, but he dares to disturb me! Get lost!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan remained silent, but quickened his movements.
As the Burning Blade Dou Qi was injected, Xiao Yan commanded it to control the two beast flames, re-intertwining them. Although these two flames were not Xiao Yan's own, they were merely beast flames, which he had observed for a long time and found easy to control briefly.
Finally, after Xiao Yan's modifications, the two beast fires, though still restless and unstable, achieved a wondrous harmony. The energy they released together stabilized for a short time, and a powerful energy brewed at the center of the flame lotus.
Of course, limited by the finite nature of the two types of flame energy, Xiao Yan estimated that this power could only affect the Dou Ling level at most. The Buddha's Fury Lotus is not omnipotent either; if the quality of the flame itself is not high, its power will naturally be greatly reduced.
For Xiao Yan, the Buddha's Fury Lotus, formed by the fusion of three different flames, is already insufficient. Facing the intervention of Ling He of the Spirit Clan, the Buddha's Fury Lotus has been almost useless. This is why Xiao Yan's thirst for different flames is so intense; different flames are related to the level of the Burning Blade Technique, and even more so to the power of the Buddha's Fury Lotus as a trump card.
Xiao Yan gently pushed the Beast Fire Lotus in front of the Pill Tower Elder, silently looking at the person before him.
"Excellent technique, Su Huo is truly impressed!" Dan Ta Dou Zun praised, feeling the two beast fires that had completely fused in his hand.
"I just saw the elder's attempt and couldn't resist trying it out, so I just learned from him..." Xiao Yan smiled slightly, giving a sarcastic reply.
Danta Douzun, recalling his earlier attempt to steal the master's teachings, awkwardly licked his lips.
Although Su Huo's words were harsh, Xiao Yan couldn't bring himself to feel any ill will towards him. Since spending time in the Pill Tower, Xiao Yan had genuinely developed a fondness for it. Aside from the natural sense of belonging he felt as an alchemist, Xiao Yan sensed a strong research atmosphere throughout the Pill Tower. Unlike the strict hierarchical relationships of sects, the Pill Tower's relaxed management system created a remarkably relaxed atmosphere, where flashes of inspiration often occur.
Whether it's Haika or the strange Su Huo in front of them, they may seem exceptionally unconventional at first glance, but one is someone even the giants of the Pill Tower dare not directly command, and the other is someone who guards such an important Soul Skill Pavilion alone. No matter how you look at it, they are not simple people.
These two are indeed worthy of respect. During the many years that Yao Lao was missing, Haika had upgraded a fire-burning fighting technique into an extremely powerful one that allowed him to control different flames.
Although the person before us has gone astray in the matter of flame fusion, given enough time, who knows if he might actually find a better way to fuse flames? Xiao Yan himself painstakingly developed this skill of flame melting, and while he has undoubtedly achieved some success, no one knows if the path he took was entirely correct. Or perhaps, whether it's cultivation or alchemy, there is no right or wrong, only different choices.
"May I ask your name, young brother? I am Su Huo, the council elder of the Soul Skill Pavilion of the Pill Tower."
"My name is Xiao Yan. Guild Master Xuan Kongzi has granted me the right to come to the Soul Skill Pavilion to select two soul skills." Xiao Yan clasped his hands slightly and told the truth.
Upon hearing this, Su Huo, who was standing in front of Xiao Yan, suddenly became excited: "Hey, so you're Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan from the Starfall Pavilion, right?"
Xiao Yan smiled modestly and nodded, clearly not expecting his reputation to reach the ears of the Pill Tower elder before him.
Su Huo also reached out and grasped Xiao Yan's hands: "Hey, Xuan Kongzi, you heartless bastard, you didn't even tell me you were coming."
"You possess a fighting technique that fuses different different flames, and its power is quite considerable, isn't it?"
Xiao Yan nodded frankly. It was no secret that he could fuse different flames to release a fire lotus. With the intelligence network of the Pill Tower, figuring it out wouldn't be a difficult task.
"How did you do that? Just like... just now, yes, yes, you're Xiao Yan. No wonder you could fuse two kinds of beast fire?"
Looking at Su Huo, who was rambling incoherently due to his anxiety, Xiao Yan coughed twice and said, "Elder Su Huo, this matter concerns my cultivation technique, so please forgive me for not being able to reveal it."
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Su Huo wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, and the fiery look in his eyes immediately disappeared.
"The secret of the cultivation technique... ah... right! Then if I become your disciple, can you teach me the parts of the technique that are inconvenient to reveal?" Su Huo quickly came up with a solution.
"Huh!?" Now it was Xiao Yan's turn to lose his composure, staring at Su Huo in astonishment.
"What, you don't believe me?" Su Huo steeled himself, bowed deeply before Xiao Yan, and said, "Teacher, your disciple Su Huo kowtows to you..."
"Elder! That's not what I meant!" Xiao Yan quickly stopped Su Huo, who was about to kneel down. If he came to the Soul Skill Pavilion and took an elder of the Pill Tower as his disciple, who knows what kind of chain reaction it would cause if word got out.
"teacher……"
"Elder Su Huo, stop, stop, just call me Xiao Yan." Xiao Yan immediately stopped Su Huo from speaking.
Su Huo licked his lips and continued, "I've had the idea of flame fusion for a long time, but no matter how I tried, I couldn't succeed. The stronger the flame, the stronger its exclusivity, so it just fizzled out."
"I had completely given up hope, but then I heard about your feat of fusing two different flames not long ago, and just now I witnessed it with my own eyes. It's truly amazing; I would have found it hard to believe if it hadn't happened right before my eyes. This is a tremendous event for alchemists, and for the entire Dou Qi Continent!"
Xiao Yan was also somewhat doubtful: "Is it really that important?"
"Of course! If different flames can be fused, then beast flames definitely can too. So, if we have enough beast flames, we might be able to make history by finding the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth different flame. That would be an absolutely incredible achievement!" Su Huo became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally, tears welled up in his eyes.
