For safety's sake, the lid of the Grand Supreme Lord Pill Furnace was only slightly opened. Then, a fingernail-sized spark floated out. This immortal flame was condensed by the Grand Supreme Lord Pill Furnace. When this immortal flame appeared, it instantly expanded and exploded. Then, Ning Qi was surrounded by raging flames.
Sea.
"Hmm, this temperature is almost the same as when we were halfway up the mountain."
Ning Qi's eyes moved, and the lid was already closed. The Fire Qilin did not do anything else.
The four Immortal Execution Swords broke through the air. Ning Qi was in this raging flame, and with the help of the flame, he frantically used the Nine Hell Tempering Technique to forge the four immortal swords.
It was originally difficult to advance the Nine Hell Tempering Technique, but under this environment, the proficiency was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Ning Qi's physical body was also tempered.
Ten years later.
"A little more."
Another spark floated out.
Another ten years passed.
"Give me two sparks this time."
Ning Qi said.
In these ten years, not only did his physical strength increase a bit, but he also developed some resistance to the flames in the pill furnace. Ning Qi wanted to try two sparks to see if he could rush to the seventh level of the Nine Hell Tempering Technique in one fell swoop!
Time was like water, quietly passing by.
After more than three hundred years, finally, one day, the four Immortal Execution Swords let out a buzzing sound, and their bodies shone brightly. They advanced to high-grade dao tools!
The Nine Hell Tempering Technique also advanced to the seventh level!
During this period of time, Ning Qi did not count how many sparks he had borrowed from, but the place he was standing at now was several times more terrifying than when he was halfway up the mountain. Ning Qi's basic physical strength had doubled, and at the same time, his resistance to fire had increased by many times.
At least, in the future, when he encountered immortal flames that were of a lower level than the flames in the pill furnace, Ning Qi did not have to care.
"Immortal Execution Sword Array, rise!"
The Four Immortal Slaying Swords broke through the air and floated around Ning Qi. The horrifying sword essence swept out in all directions.
"With such power, even if an Immortal Lord or Demon Lord enters, there is only death!"
Ning Qi was somewhat satisfied.
However, he had not become a Celestial Lord yet, and the energy in his body was not enough to support the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation for too long. This method could be used as a trump card when the Demon race invaded in the future.
Coupled with a chance from the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, Ning Qi felt that his advancement mission had gone from Hell difficulty to Medium difficulty.
The premise was that the other party did not have a Third Step or an Ancient Demon.
"Again!"
Ning Qi intended to continue forging to see if he could break through to the eighth level and refine the Four Immortal Banishing Swords into top-grade Dao artifacts.
The flames flew out.
When the flames reached the peak that Ning Qi could withstand, Ning Qi realized that the current situation was no different from having no flames. This bit of temperature seemed to no longer be able to enhance the Nine Hell Tempering Technique.
"I do have the means to improve the Nine Hell Tempering Art, but my body is not strong enough."
Ning Qi sighed and put away the pill furnace and the four Immortal Slaying Swords. His figure flashed, and he returned to the forbidden area of the Artifact Sect.
In fact, this could no longer be called a forbidden area. The immortal flame was taken away by the Old Supreme Elder Pill Furnace and the Fire Qilin was suppressed. This space became useless.
...
"It's been more than a year. I wonder what the situation in the forbidden area is like … A few days ago, Immortal Lord Dragon Rider sent a message asking about Fellow Daoist Ning's situation … Sigh …"
Luo Yan stood outside the forbidden area with some melancholy.
The disciples of the Artifact Sect had accompanied Luo Yan outside for more than a year without saying a word. They also wanted to know the situation in the forbidden area as soon as possible. After all, this concerned the future of the entire Artifact Sect!
"Forget it, let's go in and take a look. Whether Fellow Daoist Ning is alive or dead, there has to be a result. If he's really dead, I'll go and apologize to Immortal Lord Dragon Rider and the others."
Luo Yan gritted his teeth, moved, and entered the forbidden area again. As soon as he entered, he set up a restrictive spell to prevent himself from being engulfed by the flaming mountain.
"What's going on?"
Luo Yan looked at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded.
The space that was originally burning with endless flames now had no sparks at all. Instead, there was a trace of coolness. He hurriedly looked at the flaming mountain, and his expression suddenly became extremely shocked. There was not a single spark on the flaming mountain!
Then, a figure appeared in front of him. Wasn't that Ning Qi, whom he thought was dead?
"Fellow Daoist Ning! What's going on? Why do you look like you're fine? "
Luo Yan appeared in front of Ning Qi in a flash, and said with some surprise.
"I don't know either."
Ning Qi shook his head.
He couldn't say that the fire in the flaming mountain had been absorbed by the pill furnace, could he? Even if he explained that the fire came from the pill furnace, Luo Yan probably wouldn't listen.
Now that the forbidden area of the Artifact Sect was gone because of him, it would definitely have a huge impact on the Artifact Sect.
"When the flaming mountain moved, I was instantly burned and seriously injured. It took me a long time to recover, but when I woke up, I found the flaming mountain in this state."
Ning Qi sighed.
"This …"
Luo Yan looked at the incomparably unfamiliar flaming mountain in front of him, completely speechless.
Could it be that the forbidden area of the Artifact Sect that had been passed down for countless years was destroyed in his hands? After he died, how would he face the ancestors of the Artifact Sect?
"Fellow Daoist Luo, although this matter has nothing to do with me, since I entered the forbidden area of the Artifact Sect, I have to show my gratitude. This is the Nine Hell Tempering Art, the refining method of the Ancient Immortal Clan. Take it, it should be enough to make up for the loss of the Artifact Sect this time."
Ning Qi took out a jade slip and handed it to Luo Yan. Ning Qi had engraved this jade slip with his Divine Will in advance. It contained the cultivation methods of the first to third levels of the Nine Hell Tempering Art. Just these three levels alone had already surpassed the concept of refining the Artifact Sect by countless times. In the future, even without the addition of the flaming mountain, the Artifact Sect's strength in refining would still greatly increase.
Greatly increase.
"This … How can I accept this? This time, not only did I not help Fellow Daoist Ning, but I also almost harmed Fellow Daoist Ning …"
Luo Yan looked at Ning Qi with some surprise, then smiled embarrassedly and reached out to take the jade slip.
He was a little excited. Although he didn't know what had happened to the Flame Mountain this time and it had become an ordinary mountain, with Ning Qi's artifact refining skills, he could make up for the losses of the Divine Artifact Sect. Even if he died in the future, he would have the face to meet his ancestors.
"Anyway, I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound. You don't have to worry about it, Fellow Luo."
Ning Qi smiled and shook his head.
"It's all thanks to Brother Ning's strong physique. Otherwise, I would have harmed Brother Ning this time. I wouldn't be able to explain myself to Zi Qing."
Luo Yan sighed.
He felt that the reason Ning Qi was able to survive was definitely because of his fleshly body. However, Luo Yan did not know how strong the flames of the Blazing Mountain were at that time. If not for the protection of the Old Lord Pill Furnace, even if Ning Qi's body was ten times stronger, he would still have been burned to ashes!
"Dao Friend Luo, I plan to return to Asura Planet first. What about you?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"I'll wait a little longer …"
Luo Yan said as he glanced at the Flame Mountain. He wanted to stay behind to see if the Flame Mountain would return to its original state, and at the same time, investigate the cause.
"Alright then, I'll take my leave first."
Ning Qi cupped his hands.
After speaking, his silhouette directly vanished from the spot.
"Dao Friend Ning's methods are truly brilliant. Even I couldn't see how he left …"
