"Qin Yi, there are twelve dark flames around where you are standing right now. You can't rely on external power, so use your own true energy and see how many you can ignite. "
Elder Shao pointed at the bronze pillars next to Qin Yi. Atop each pillar was a metal vessel shaped like a copper pot.
These vessels contained the dark flames that Elder Shao had spoken of.
"These dark flames are commonly used in pill refinement. Let's see how compatible you are with them. If you have talent in pill refinement, then your compatibility with the flames will be very high. If your compatibility is low, then there's no need to mention your talent in pill refinement. Be a good boy and go back to cultivating. "
Qin Yi nodded. "Then how many dark flames is considered a high compatibility?"
"Igniting three is considered a talent. Igniting five or six is considered a promising talent. If you can ignite seven, then you're a pill dao genius with the potential to become an important figure in the pill world. If you can ignite nine, then you're a once-in-a-century genius who will surely become a pill dao grandmaster in the future. As for more than ten, heh, perhaps only one or two will appear in the Smoky Luo Region every thousand years. You're destined to become a pill dao legend. "
Elder Shao didn't hide anything when he spoke of this, and spoke in great detail. He had once been a genius who had ignited seven dark flames.
Even in the Yin-Yang Academy of the Azure Luo Nation, he was considered one of the top three.
"Alright, you may begin." Elder Shao clearly wanted to put an end to Qin Yi's sudden idea of refining pills.
Qin Yi stood there and took a deep breath.
This time, he wasn't in a hurry to act.
He had been too impulsive last time at the meeting between the new and old students. In a moment of carelessness, he had pushed the Yin Yang Roulette to fifteen circles.
If he hadn't pulled back in time, he might have set a new record.
He had indeed been in the limelight that time, but that wasn't Qin Yi's intention. He had always believed that those who were too high profile would be hated and envied by others.
Therefore, this time, he stood in the circle and sensed a little. Before he even made a move, he had an indescribable confidence, an instinctive premonition.
The calmer his heart was, the purer his thoughts were. An invisible connection was formed between him and the twelve dark flames.
Even Elder Shao couldn't see through this communication.
However, this kind of communication caused Qin Yi's heart to become more and more confident. He felt that if he were to disregard everything and unleash his full strength, he would definitely be able to ignite all twelve Dark Fires by activating the Nirvana True Fire.
Perhaps the difficulty of the last three would continue to increase, but he was at least ninety percent confident.
With the previous lesson, Qin Yi had learned his lesson this time.
He had a good grasp of propriety and began to slowly activate his inner strength, guiding it towards the first dark flame.
Xiu!
The first Dark Flame seemed to have received some kind of secret summon. It was as if a closed eye had suddenly opened. The Dan Fire was like a dancing spirit, full of vitality.
For the second Dark Flame, Qin Yi didn't use any fancy tricks as he guided his energy over. Under the activation of his energy, the Dark Flame once again ignited into a blazing Dan Fire.
The third one still didn't take much effort.
Elder Shao's expression didn't change. With Qin Yi's martial arts talent, it wasn't surprising for him to ignite three of the easiest Dark Fires. The harder part was yet to come.
The difficulty of the fourth Dark Fire had indeed increased a little. However, Qin Yi added some Nirvana True Fire's aura and easily ignited it.
The fifth one was also slightly more difficult than the fourth one. However, this only allowed Qin Yi to add a little more True Fire's aura.
Very quickly, the sixth Dark Fire was ignited by Qin Yi.
At this time, Shao Pengju's expression was a little complicated. He originally thought that after Qin Yi ignited three Dark Fires, he would retreat in the face of difficulties.
However, he never expected that Qin Yi would actually ignite six Dark Fires in one go. This meant that Qin Yi indeed had talent in alchemy, and he was indeed a promising talent.
Shao Pengju was rather troubled.
However, Qin Yi clearly did not have the intention of stopping here. Shao Pengju's troubled mood was quickly replaced by astonishment.
Because in that bit of time when he was in a daze, Qin Yi also ignited the seventh Dark Fire domineeringly.
This seventh Dark Fire igniting seemed to have suddenly awakened a flame that had long been dormant in the depths of Elder Shao's heart, making his eyes emit a brilliant light all at once.
He actually even ignited the seventh Dark Fire!
This Qin Yi actually casually caught up to his, Shao Pengju's, proud result back then.
"What a sin! Could this be heaven's will? Is my, Shao Pengju's, disciple destined to form an indissoluble bond with medicinal pills too? "Shao Pengju gave rise to a trace of bewilderment at this instant.
He was also uncertain whether this indissoluble bond was a good karma or an ill-fated karma!
However, Qin Yi's domineering performance did not end there.
Just as Shao Pengju was astonished, something that made him even more astonished happened.
The eighth Dark Fire, under Qin Yi's guidance, actually swayed and was ignited as well. He watched as the eighth Alchemic Fire rose.
The knot in Elder Shao's heart seemed to have collapsed all at once. That trace of bewilderment in his eyes was swept clean all at once!
Eight, he actually ignited eight!
This Qin Yi's alchemy talent was actually so astonishing!
However, Qin Yi seemed to have steeled his heart to use performance to convince him. After igniting the eighth Dark Fire, Qin Yi was actually still not satisfied and continued to challenge the ninth Dark Fire.
At this time, Shao Pengju seemed to have completely forgotten his objection towards Qin Yi refining pills previously. His left hand clenched tightly into a fist, his fingers' knuckles turning white from clenching, emitting cracking sounds.
He was actually even more nervous than Qin Yi at this moment, staring fixedly at the ninth Dark Fire. His heart was like praying for the arrival of dawn in the endless night.
"Ignite it, ignite it!"
That ninth Dark Fire seemed to have heard Elder Shao's prayer. After a stalemate for a while, it actually really gave off a burst of green smoke and suddenly started burning.
Success!
Elder Shao's taut expression immediately blossomed into a smile. His eyes were filled with the wild joy of obtaining a priceless treasure.
Picked up a treasure, picked up a treasure!
If not for being worried about affecting Qin Yi, Elder Shao practically wished to slap himself twice. He nearly killed Qin Yi's enthusiasm for refining pills just now!
If Qin Yi listened to his advice and really backed out, it would mean that he, Shao Pengju, personally killed the birth of an alchemy genius!
The tenth Dark Fire!
Could Qin Yi still create another miracle?
Shao Pengju's eyes were bright and spirited, practically wishing that he could lend all of his talent to Qin Yi, superimposing them together to create this miracle together!
At this moment, his heart was trembling. Because of his excitement, his hands under his sleeves were swaying gently.
If Qin Yi could ignite this tenth Dark Fire, it meant that a genius who could change the order of alchemy in the Yan Luo Region would be born in this testing room!
At this moment, Shao Pengju suddenly remembered the importance that the mysterious envoy attached to Qin Yi, and the expectations that the Palace Master of Green Luo Palace had for Qin Yi.
These big shots really had discerning eyes.
