Staying in the cave of Falling Flame Mountain, Yi Tian refined and purified the precious materials around him once more. Previously, he had wanted to make do with what he had. But now, after communicating with the artifact spirit, he could no longer muddle along.
Since the Hehuan Bell was a spiritual treasure brought to the lower realm by the Li Fire Patriarch, it had long given birth to an artifact spirit. It definitely knew the Li Fire Sect's cultivation techniques like the back of its hand. It was impossible for him to cut corners.
But just as Yi Tian conjured the Nanming Li Fire and took out the two repair materials, the disdainful voice of the artifact spirit sounded in his ears, "Your Nanming Li Fire is condensed to such a state. You haven't even mastered it. I'm afraid that even if I teach you the 'Purple Firmament Radiant Fire', it will only be effective once."
This destroyed Yi Tian's confidence and made him unable to raise his head. He cursed in his heart, "What do you mean by 'this state'? My Nanming Li Fire can even fight against those late stage Yuanying cultivators. How can it be considered an inferior skill in the eyes of this artifact spirit? However, this is the first time I've heard of the 'Purple Firmament Radiant Fire'. From the looks of it, I have to obtain the secret technique first. Even if I can only use one move, it can be my trump card. "
Ignoring the artifact spirit's words, Yi Tian took out the purified Meteorite Iron, Obsidian Iron and Deep Sea Ice Crystal. He placed them in front of the Hehuan Bell. Following that, he took out the Auspicious Light Rune Pen and the Dragon Blood Inscription Liquid and placed them on the right side.
After gently picking up the Hehuan Bell, Yi Tian slowly said, "I'm going to start repairing it. Are you ready?"
"Hurry up. I've waited for three thousand years. That little girl only used me as a spiritual artifact to defend against enemies. She doesn't know that my true use is not like that." The artifact spirit said impatiently.
"Okay." Yi Tian was not surprised. Looking at the inscriptions on the Hehuan Bell, he could roughly guess what it was used for. However, as a junior, he had no right to comment on the matters between his own Patriarch and his Dao companion.
He extended his right index finger and a wisp of white flame appeared on his hand. Then, he continued to inject spirit force into the flame, which was originally as thin as smoke, and it instantly expanded to the size of a fist.
He stretched out his left hand and gently raised the Joyous Union Bell. Then, he placed it into his True Fire and began to refine it. The Artifact Spirit tactfully shut its mouth. Under the burning of the Nanming Li Fire, the Joyous Union Bell's body gradually revealed a dark red color.
After his entire body was burned red, Yi Tian pointed his left index finger at the three precious materials and placed them into the True Fire to burn. The deep sea ice crystal was compressed into a droplet of liquid, which was then applied to the broken part of the Joyous Union Bell. The previously purified Meteorite Iron and Obsidian Profound Iron were melted into liquid and easily attached to the broken part of the bell.
The broken part of the three-inch bell was only the size of a fingernail, but it took more than a dozen drops of purified Meteorite Iron and Obsidian Profound Iron to repair it.
After patching up the hole, Yi Tian gently placed the Joyous Union Bell in the air. After putting away the Nan Ming Li Fire, he took out some pills from his storage ring and put them in his mouth. After chewing for a while, he swallowed them down. Then, he hurriedly circulated his cultivation method to dissolve the effects of the pills. Only then did he feel that the spirit force he had lost was continuously replenished.
After a while, Yi Tian completely replenished his spirit force. Then, he stretched out his right hand and picked up the Auspicious Light Brush. He gently dipped it in a bit of Dragon Blood Inscription Liquid. Then, he controlled the Joyous Union Bell with his left hand and began to carve inscriptions not far from him.
The entire inscription process lasted for an unknown amount of time, but Yi Tian silently estimated that he had consumed more than half of his spirit force to complete the inscription.
After the last stroke, the Joyous Union Bell suddenly emitted a golden light. Then, the Joyous Union Bell flew out of his hand and circled in the air. At the same time, it let out a crisp jingle. Not long after, it flew back and stopped in front of Yi Tian.
After three breaths of time, the voice of the artifact spirit came again. "I didn't expect your cultivation to be so good, but your refining level is even higher than your strength."
Yi Tian didn't get angry after hearing this. In any case, he was already immune to the artifact spirit's ridicule. He let out a breath and said, "My talent is shallow, so I'll do my best. Don't laugh at me."
"Seeing that your attitude is so sincere and that your cultivation still has room for improvement, I'll be magnanimous and accept your kindness."
Yi Tian asked tentatively, "But I promised Hao Ji that after I repaired you, I'll return it to its original owner." To be honest, it was best to keep it by his side, but he promised Hao Ji that he would only help.
However, he was a bit reluctant to let it go. After all, this artifact spirit had helped him in his cultivation. It was no different from a good teacher.
After a while, the artifact spirit's tender voice sounded. "Your Li Fire Sect cultivator's fire spirit force is too strong. If I stay by your side for too long, I will be affected by your spirit force. Send me back to that little girl's side. I'm a Yin-type spirit artifact, so I can be constantly nourished by a girl's side."
"That's fine." Yi Tian's face didn't show any emotions, but there was a slight reluctance in his expression. However, the risk of keeping the Joyous Union Bell was too great. Other than the spirit artifact itself, he would also offend Hao Ji and Old Demon Joyous Union. He didn't have the fortune to enjoy such a thankless task.
Hearing the jealousy in Yi Tian's words, the artifact spirit smiled and said, "Don't take advantage of me. Now, I'll teach you the first move of the Li Fire Three Transformations."
He nodded and replied, "Tell me if there's anything I don't understand. I'll ask you." After hearing that, the artifact spirit slowly explained the secret technique. Yi Tian took out a jade scroll and memorized it as he listened. At the same time, he secretly deduced the secret technique.
After memorizing the secret technique, Yi Tian learned from the artifact spirit that Patriarch Li Fire was only a successor disciple of the upper realm's Li Fire Palace. The Li Fire Sect's secret technique was originally called the 'Li Fire Nine Transformations'.
And he had only learned 30% of the Li Fire Palace's cultivation technique. Furthermore, he had only sent an avatar down to the lower realm to dominate it. It was imaginable how much his strength would increase if he were to ascend to the spiritual realm and become a disciple of the Li Fire Palace.
Although the matter of ascending was still very far away, this' Purple Firmament Dazzling Fire 'was a real benefit. Yi Tian deduced the secret technique word by word in his mind. He realized that if he were to master this move, his strength would definitely increase by a level. When that happened, it would be possible for him to kill someone of a higher realm during the Yuanying period.
At the very least, he would be more confident in dealing with people like the Thousand Spirit Abyss. However, there was still a troublesome preparation to do. To use the 'Purple Firmament Dazzling Fire', he had to at least reach the small success stage of the Nan Ming Li Fire, which was Yi Tian's current cultivation level. However, this move would exhaust most of his spiritual energy, leaving him with only the ability to escape.
To completely use it, he had to reach the large success stage of the Nan Ming Li Fire.
