Hao Dong's skin did not turn red on a large scale; only his hand that was holding the furnace turned bright red. Judging from his appearance at the moment, it was obvious that he still had some strength left.
Even so, He Yiming could sense from the scorching aura in the air how enormous and unbelievable the elder's fire power was.
This was a real powerhouse — a supreme powerhouse that made people shudder.
He Yiming was also a Venerable One like Gao Weiliang and the others, but he keenly sensed that there seemed to be some differences even among Venerable Ones. It was as though there was a line between the Innate Boundary and the Venerable Ones.
As the elder channeled his essential Qi, the temperature in the furnace gradually rose.
"Woosh … Woosh …"
Several heavy whistles were heard coming from the furnace. The sounds were steady and powerful, and they sounded like the breaths of a ferocious beast from ancient times, causing one's hair to stand on end.
He Yiming looked at the furnace in confusion. He was sure that the sounds came from it, but the problem was that he did not understand why such frightening sounds could be heard coming from it.
Hao Dong's mind was mostly focused on alchemy, but he smiled and said, "Yiming, this furnace's origin is no small matter. It's an imitation of the Nine Dragons Furnace, a divine tool from ancient times. Its divine effect is far inferior to the real Nine Dragons Furnace, but in comparison, among the top-notch furnaces today, only the treasured furnaces from the Blessed Enclave, the imperial family of Great Shen, the 10,000 Medicines Valley, and the Liuli Cave in the southern border can be mentioned on equal terms with it. "
He Yiming nodded and looked at the imitation Nine Dragons Furnace. All of a sudden, he was moved and asked, "Senior, how does the Nine Dragons Furnace compare to the Five-element Ring?"
Hao Dong was stunned because no one had ever asked such a question. He pondered for a while and answered, "They're both legendary divine tools, and they're far from what the Divine Soldier's weapons refined in the world can compare to. Even their replicas are powerful, so I don't know which one is more powerful. "
Jin Zhanzhong laughed loudly and said, "Brother He, Divine Dao weapons are all treasures that possess great power. However, they have long disappeared from the world along with the disappearance of Divine Dao experts. Just like this Nine Dragon Furnace, it's said to be the number one Divine Soldier of the fire element in the world. It's capable of transforming into nine fire dragons, and its might is unparalleled in the world. " He paused, seemingly hesitating for a moment, and finally said, "Legend has it that the eight hundred mile long volcano was the result of a confrontation between a certain Supreme Dao expert and the divine beast Fire Qilin using the Nine Dragons Furnace."
He Yiming was truly moved this time. He had been to the 800 Kilometer Volcano before, and it was there that he had condensed the Flame Flower. Moreover, he hadn't gone too deep, he had only walked around the cave with Suo Ge.
However, that volcano had indeed left an extremely deep impression on him. If such a huge volcano was really the result of the hands of a Shinto expert and a divine beast, then just how powerful and inconceivable was their ability?
For a moment, He Yiming was even a bit absent-minded.
Hao Dong's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Calm your mind and don't get distracted."
He Yiming's old face slightly reddened, and he promptly responded. Soon after, he focused his mind, and threw those legendary treasures to the back of his mind.
"Stretch out your hand, and follow me." Hao Dong used his other hand to lightly point at the other side of the furnace, and whispered.
He Yiming looked over in astonishment, and his heart suddenly began to violently beat.
During the process of alchemy, an alchemist must be completely focused. Moreover, his special refining method required the control of True Qi to reach the pinnacle. Although it was just the beginning, and with Hao Dong's cultivation, he could still be distracted. However, if he waited until the final moment of the refining, then a little bit of power from the furnace would cause the refining to fail.
He really didn't understand why the old man wanted him to completely participate in it.
Seeming to understand the reason for his hesitation, Hao Dong snorted coldly and said, "When refining the Face Retaining Pill, the possibility of success on the first try is very small. You should also experience this process. It will be beneficial for the future."
He Yiming opened his mouth and looked deeply at the old man. Then he raised a hand and placed it at the place the old man pointed at, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Whether it was Hao Dong or Jin Zhanzheng, they didn't seem to hear these two words. The pill room suddenly quieted down, and only the roars of giant beasts from the furnace remained.
He Yiming knew the preciousness of this opportunity. Watching from the side of the furnace and experiencing it personally were two completely different concepts.
Hao Dong's actions made it clear that he would rather the first batch of pills become a waste pill than pass on the refining technique to him.
No wonder at the beginning, the old man instructed so solemnly. How much he could comprehend depended entirely on himself.
A faint, faintly discernible power of fire entered the furnace.
Although this wisp of power of fire was faint, it divided into countless tentacles, forming a dense, spiderweb-like power of fire that monitored everything in the furnace.
Of course, during this process, He Yiming carefully avoided the huge power of fire that came from the top of the furnace.
Compared with the huge power of fire, the small fire net that He Yiming released was like a spiderweb beside an elephant's leg. It couldn't withstand a single blow at all.
However, the elephant obviously didn't care that someone had invaded its territory. Perhaps it was because the difference in strength between them was too great, so it simply couldn't be bothered to care about anything.
An elephant would be full of hostility towards another elephant that invaded its territory, but for an ant beside it, it wouldn't even look at it.
In the furnace, a strong heatwave surged, and the herbs inside rose and fell in the heatwave as if there was an invisible hand grabbing the herbs here and there.
He Yiming finally understood something after observing for some time.
The heatwave inside was naturally created by Hao Dong. He turned invisible gas into visible fire, but the fire was controlled just right. When the herbs inside were being roasted, the heat that they received was completely uniform. There was not the slightest bit of deviation.
This could not be achieved by using fuel or earthly fire as the heat source.
In a trance, He Yiming seemed to have understood a little why top-notch alchemists had to be Venerable Ones.
It was because only old monsters like him, who had unlimited power, could perform the seemingly mythical alchemy method in front of him.
With a deep sigh, He Yiming suddenly had a strong urge to try it himself. Nonetheless, he quickly suppressed the thought because he knew if he wanted to release the fire power as intense as Hao Dong's at the moment, he could not hold on for too long.
This was the gap — the most obvious gap between him and a Venerable One.
Perhaps when they were exchanging one or two moves, this gap would not be obvious. However, once they entered a protracted battle, this gap would be infinitely magnified and become a fatal flaw.
Ou Yangming cast aside the thought of biting off more than he could chew and carefully sensed the surging fire power.
Slowly, a pair of hands that were completely made of fire formed in He Yiming's mind. The hands kept evolving as though they were forming mysterious fire-mastery hand seals.
He Yiming was certain that this was a special control technique. It was under the control of this technique that the power of fire could be perfectly controlled to such a miraculous level.
Ou Yangming's heart thumped as he fully immersed himself in sensing the hand seal technique.
Hao Dong glanced at He Yiming half-intentionally. There was an undisguised admiration in his eyes. What he mentioned earlier was very vague, but He Yiming quickly grasped the most important point.
This fire-mastery hand seal technique was also one of the top fire-mastery techniques passed down from the Divine Path era. It was also a technique that was specially used to control the Nine Dragons Furnace.
It was said that after the sect's founding ancestor imitated the Nine Dragons Furnace, he paid a huge price to obtain this technique.
However, it was precisely because of this Cultivation Method that he was able to bring out the greatest effect of the Nine Dragons Furnace when he controlled it.
Although the effect of using this Cultivation Method to directly fight the enemy was not very good, if it was used to control weapons, especially such a heaven-defying treasure like the Nine Dragon Furnace, it was the best choice.
Of course, this technique was not only used to fight enemies, but it could also be used to control everything in the furnace as one wished. The medicinal herbs inside could be heated according to one's wishes and the pills could be successfully condensed successfully.
In the current Divine Wind Palace, Ou Yangming was the only one who could master this technique.
The other Venerables kept a respectful distance from alchemy, so it was even more impossible for them to learn this technique.
Sometimes, Hao Dong was also worried that if he reached the end of his life, his hundreds of years of experience in this technique would be completely lost. Therefore, after meeting He Yiming, who was interested in alchemy, he used such an obscure method to pass down this technique.
Even Ou Yangming himself was not clear about such a subtle psychological change.
Naturally, He Yiming did not understand all of this. He only used all of his mind to comprehend all of this. His eyes were already tightly shut, and his lips would move from time to time, as if he was softly chanting something.
His face sometimes showed joy, and sometimes he frowned without saying a word. He had completely entered a magical world that belonged to him.
Jin Zhanzheng, who was at the side, frowned slightly. In his heart, he did not agree with He Yiming learning alchemy anymore.
Given He Yiming's great talent in martial arts, it would be a real waste if he could not concentrate on martial arts.
Nevertheless, Jin Zhanzheng could only swallow his words as he dared not mention Hao Dong, who was well-known in the Divine Wind Palace.
Looking at He Yiming's increasingly joyful expression, Jin Zhanzheng shook his head faster. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
