Chapter 308: Reading the Hundred Schools, Ding Fire Level Four

At the Transmission Hall of Luo Tianhui.

Located deep within Crimson Peak.

It was a newly constructed "ancient hall."

At first glance, it exuded an ancient charm, but upon closer inspection, one could tell it lacked depth due to the recent construction materials used.

However, this did not diminish the importance of the Transmission Hall within Luo Tianhui.

When Luo Chen arrived, the first person he saw was not Wang Yuan.

Instead, it was Min Longyu, who was busy outside the hall on the Jade Square.

Luo Chen landed on the square and gently stepped on the jade, a scene witnessed by Min Longyu.

Min Longyu hurriedly called out, "Chairman, stop!"

"I just set up a minor Spirit Gathering Array restriction on it. If you destroy it, I'll have nowhere to cry."

Luo Chen smiled and lifted his foot, carefully examining the small square, which was almost the size of a football field.

It was entirely paved with first-grade Spirit Communication Jade, creating a rather beautiful sight.

The cost was not insignificant; this piece of jade alone would require at least ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

Compared to the training grounds of a Great Sect, it was not even close.

However, once Min Longyu finished setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, it could become a sacred cultivation ground on Crimson Peak.

Especially for young cultivators below the Late Qi Condensation Stage!

Min Longyu walked over, "If Luo Tianhui regularly recruits disciples, this jade platform will become a place for them to practice."

"At that time, the high-level cultivators of the Transmission Hall will lecture above."

"The younger disciples will gather below and listen to the teachings."

"Spirit Eagles will soar, Immortal Cranes will dance, clouds will gather and the radiance will be dazzling."

"It will be a scene filled with immortal aura!"

A scene filled with immortal aura?

Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

"By the way, have you found suitable disciples to pass on the heritage?"

"Yes, two of them!"

Luo Chen was surprised, "Two?"

Min Longyu said with relief, "Yes! One is a young man who has been with Luo Tianhui since the Great River Market. He has been an apprentice in the Forge Hall and learned a lot of array knowledge from Senior Brother Duan. His foundation in array techniques is quite good."

"As for the other... she is a young girl from my Min family who was lost."

"After I destroyed the Geng family and the Divine Craft Sect, my reputation spread, and her family came looking for me."

"I am actually her uncle."

Uncle?

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, realizing that this meant the girl was not from the direct lineage of the Min family.

She was a descendant born after a Min family woman married outside the clan.

But now, the Min family of Crimson Peak had long since dispersed, and not a single member of the direct lineage remained.

It was not easy to have a descendant, even if it was just a trace of blood, as it still carried the Min family bloodline!

No wonder there was a look of relief on the other person's face.

As Luo Chen was about to ask more, he noticed Wang Yuan on the second floor of the Transmission Hall, quietly observing them in his coarse linen robe.

"You continue with your work, I'll go ahead!"

Luo Chen casually said and entered the Transmission Hall.

...

"What do you want?"

"Fire-attributed cultivation methods, fire control secret techniques, and any scriptures related to the Fire element—I want them all!"

"Then please wait a moment."

Wang Yuan turned and entered the newly constructed library.

Luo Chen, with nothing else to do, followed him inside.

The current library was divided into three floors.

The lowest level contained mundane martial arts, records of the cultivation world, and various other books, including the ones Luo Chen was familiar with: Journey of Freedom, Scattering Flowers by the Celestial Maiden, and Six Realms Customs Record.

There were over a hundred books of various types and subjects.

The second floor housed cultivation method manuals for the Qi Condensation Period.

The third floor, needless to say, contained cultivation method manuals for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Additionally, there was a Secret Chamber that held insights on Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, talisman crafting, spirit planting, and artifact crafting...

These covered numerous cultivation techniques, and if Luo Tianhui had talented individuals, they could develop their unique skills and strengths through these resources.

All these miscellaneous items were stored in the Secret Chamber.

After Luo Chen finished reading the alchemy scriptures, he would return them to the library.

Some of these items were valuable, while others had no worth.

But together, they formed the foundation of Luo Tianhui.

"These are the resources we've accumulated over the years through our hard work!" Luo Chen said, caressing a rare Qi Condensation Stage gold-attributed cultivation method manual, his voice filled with emotion.

Wang Yuan was selecting appropriate cultivation methods for Luo Chen.

He glanced at Luo Chen's actions and said casually, "For now, they are just randomly placed. Later, Min Longyu will set up corresponding minor restrictions to prevent theft. In the future, if inner sect disciples want to borrow them, they'll need to exchange them for merit points."

"Additionally, I'll take the time to transcribe them all onto bamboo slips. The original cultivation methods will be kept separately."

Luo Chen nodded repeatedly as he listened to the future plans.

These were all necessary tasks for a sect's heritage.

Even this library was named the Tianyi Building.

Heaven and Earth begin with water, and fire is not easily tamed.

Even the books of the cultivation world fear the ravages of fire.

As they chatted, Wang Yuan and Luo Chen ascended the stairs.

In half a day, Wang Yuan had gathered all the cultivation methods and scriptures that Luo Chen might need.

"Seven first-rank fire-attribute cultivation methods, three second-rank ones, and three secret techniques: Artifact Crafting, Alchemy, and Spirit Planting."

"Additionally, I have a private collection of a blood flame technique, which is driven by the power of blood and energy."

"You can take a look at them; perhaps they'll be of help to you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel incredibly excited.

With so many cultivation methods and scriptures, he might just find a solution to his current pill refinement bottleneck.

When Luo Chen heard that Wang Yuan had taken out his private collection of the blood flame technique, he was deeply touched.

Eagerly, he opened a first-rank Qi Condensation cultivation method called "Three Incineration Blazing Flame Art."

His expression was one of utmost concentration.

Wang Yuan didn't disturb him; after placing the cultivation method, he quietly closed the door and left.

For a moment, the spacious secret chamber became exceptionally quiet, with only the rustling sound of pages turning.

...

"Humans have three poisons: greed, anger, and delusion, also known as the three impurities and three fires. By burning them, one can obtain boundless power and transform the raging flames into a purifying force..."

"This is too far-fetched. In reality, it's about cultivating a courageous and diligent mindset and absorbing stray fire-attributed spiritual energy from the external environment."

"This method is useless to me."

Luo Chen put down the "Three Incineration Blazing Flame Art" and picked up another first-rank cultivation method, "Black Prison Flame Suppression Art."

The primary focus of this method was to cultivate immense patience in scorching environments, absorbing spiritual energy.

This method had a similar effect to the "Eternal Spring Technique's" ability to calm the mind and focus the spirit.

However, this profound method was too superficial.

After a few hours, Luo Chen shook his head and continued browsing through the other books.

Time passed as he immersed himself in reading.

One day.

Two days.

Unknowingly, half a month slipped by in the blink of an eye.

With his body tempered through the cultivation process, Luo Chen could now absorb the essence of clouds and dew and easily practice simple fasting.

Moreover, without cultivation, Luo Chen didn't feel tired.

Occasionally, during his boundary breakthroughs and seclusions, he had experienced such extended periods of sleeplessness.

Luo Chen had finished reading all seven first-rank cultivation methods.

His gains were minimal, especially in terms of solving his current difficulties; there wasn't much help to be found.

The only benefit was that it allowed him to thoroughly understand various cultivation methods, techniques, and combat experiences of Fire Spirit Root cultivators.

This was still a worthwhile gain.

Luo Chen felt that when he used fireball techniques, flying fire streams, Blazing Sun techniques, and Mountain techniques, his skills would be three times more refined than before.

In addition to the first-rank cultivation methods, Luo Chen also studied Wang Yuan's private collection of the blood flame technique.

Its effect was not much different from the Foundation Establishment True Fire.

It merely replaced the eruption of spiritual liquid with an instant eruption of blood and energy, forming a powerful force.

The valuable aspect was that the blood flame, transformed from blood and energy, was more controllable than the Foundation Establishment True Fire.

After all, this was a self-harm technique that drew upon the body's original essence blood.

It might prove to be extremely effective in battles or escapes.

Luo Chen briefly learned this technique.

It could be considered an ace up his sleeve.

After all, his physical cultivation had reached the Blood River Realm, and he possessed robust blood and energy.

Just in case! After studying Wang Yuan's blood flame technique, Luo Chen also briefly familiarized himself with the three secret techniques.

The fire-attributed Spirit Planting technique was named "Ji Fire Clearing Wilderness Art," a second-rank method.

Its primary purpose was to enhance the quality of the spirit field.

After reading it, Luo Chen concluded it was of no use to him.

The Alchemy technique was the Flame Manipulation Technique, which Luo Chen was already very proficient in.

He often used it when refining pills, allowing him to adjust the intensity of the fire precisely.

As for the Artifact Crafting technique, Luo Chen found it a bit challenging to comprehend.

"What does 'Fire Fusion' mean?"

"Is it a method to intensify the fire, melting and refining gold and iron?"

Luo Chen made a copy of this secret technique, named "Fire Fusion," intending to take it back for careful study.

Subsequently, he began reading the three second-rank fire-attributed cultivation methods.

"Ding Fire Single Breath Art" originated from the Duan family.

"Blazing Sun True Scripture" was part of the legacy of Huo Hu, most likely the core cultivation method of the Golden Core Grand Sect's Yan Alliance's inner disciples.

"Azure Sun Art" was obtained from a loose cultivator during the Gaolingyuan Battle.

The second-rank cultivation methods were evidently more profound and complex than the first-rank ones.

Luo Chen realized that he would need a long time to study them.

Without hesitation, he directly placed the original copies of the three cultivation methods into his Storage Bag.

Exiting the secret chamber, Luo Chen found Wang Yuan outside, intently copying cultivation methods and scriptures.

Luo Chen rubbed his eyes, feeling a bit tired.

"Did you find a solution to your problem?" Wang Yuan paused his work and asked with concern.

Luo Chen shook his head. "Not yet."

But I feel like I've found the direction."

His direction came from the Artifact Crafting Secret Technique, Fire Fusion.

Hearing that Wang Yuan had found his direction, Luo Chen no longer worried and continued with his busy work.

Before leaving, Luo Chen casually asked a question.

"Why not invite the cultivators from the Transmission Hall to do such trivial tasks? Isn't this a waste of your cultivation time?"

Without lifting his head, Wang Yuan replied, "It's not a waste. While transcribing, the content of these techniques will be imprinted in my mind. For my physical cultivation path, it's like using the strengths of others to improve myself."

Memorization at a Glance?

Luo Chen was stunned. He had never heard that Wang Yuan possessed such a talent.

However, after careful consideration, he recalled that in the early stages of Wang Yuan's physical cultivation journey, he mostly relied on his own exploration.

Having a similar talent seemed plausible.

Of course, after a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, their soul's foundation greatly improves.

Even if they can't memorize at a glance, their memory far surpasses that of ordinary people.

This talent only stands out during the early stages of cultivation.

Not wanting to disturb Wang Yuan further, Luo Chen said he would take the techniques with him and then bid farewell.

...

Upon returning to Tianlan Peak, Luo Chen had a good night's sleep.

The next day, at dawn, he practiced his cultivation technique after a long time, and as he watched the progress bar slowly rise to 【4/100】, the guilt he felt for not cultivating for half a month finally dissipated.

"Researching cultivation techniques is fine, but I can't neglect my sleep and meals and forget the most fundamental aspect of cultivation."

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Stepping out of his cave mansion, the Warm Sun Wood still stood there.

The tree's shade was lush, and spiritual energy flowed gently.

He opened the three second-rank fire-attribute cultivation techniques he had brought back and began to study them carefully.

As time passed, it flowed like water, unnoticed.

In the blink of an eye, another month had gone by.

Luo Chen closed the bamboo slip containing the Azure Sun Art.

He had found the root of his problem.

The way of pill concoction was closely related to the Fire attribute path.

In the past, he had always overlooked this matter.

Or perhaps, his past self felt that he had almost no shortcomings in this aspect.

But now, he realized that this path was vast and profound, like a boundless sea of smoke.

With his current level, he had merely taken the first step.

If there were levels, then in the way of pill concoction, control over the Ding Fire would be divided into four levels.

Fire Control, Fire Fusion, Fire Absorption, and Fire Transformation.

These levels did not come from the techniques and secrets themselves.

Instead, Luo Chen combined various pill concoction insights from the Azure Origin Alchemy Interpretation, Fragrant Flower Alchemy Interpretation, and Fox Spirit Pill Manual, and categorized them himself.

The last level, which he called Soul Transformation Fire, belonged to the realm of legends.

In the scriptures, it was only briefly mentioned.

At his current level, he couldn't even touch upon it.

However, for the first three levels, he found corresponding methods within these techniques and secrets.

If the Flame Manipulation Technique improved flame manipulation skills, then this was Fire Control! As for Fire Fusion and Single Breath Flame, these two, under perfect control, enhanced the quality and power of flames. This was Fire Fusion! And the Blazing Sun True Scripture and Azure Sun Art directly proposed accommodating sourceless flames to achieve the Origin True Fire.

After frantically reading various cultivation techniques and scriptures, Luo Chen, like Wang Yuan, rarely summarized his understanding.

He even used his own insights to categorize the corresponding levels.

With this, the path ahead became instantly clear.

At this moment, Luo Chen understood Wang Yuan's journey of reading extensively and creating his own cultivation technique, like a monk seeking the most suitable path.

It was indeed tiring.

But the feeling of accomplishment after obtaining results was truly exhilarating! With Luo Chen's current accumulation, he couldn't create a technique to solve his current difficulties.

However, with a direction, he could learn from the methods of his predecessors, taking their strengths and compensating for his weaknesses, step by step.

He was no longer a headless fly! "At my current level, I'm clearly at the peak of the first stage, with perfect Fire Control!"

"So, my next step is Fire Fusion and Fire Absorption."

The former wasn't difficult.

Duan Feng was skilled in this path, and the fire required for Artifact Crafting was even higher than that needed for pill concoction.

If he could do it, so could Luo Chen.

He didn't plan to cultivate both Fire Fusion and Single Breath Flame simultaneously. Instead, he decided to focus on Fire Fusion for now.

It wasn't that Single Breath Flame was inadequate.

But if he encountered any confusion while cultivating Fire Fusion, he could consult Duan Feng and avoid many detours.

As for Fire Absorption, two techniques were recorded in the Blazing Sun True Scripture and Azure Sun Art.

He planned to cultivate one of them when he had the time, preparing for the future.

"Now, let's begin cultivating Fire Fusion!"

Luo Chen stood up and headed straight for the pill refinement room.
