Chapter 272: I need to get my hands on one
"Basic Alchemy Flame Control."
"This?" Chen Tian asked, holding up the book in his hand.
"This book is a beginner's manual for learning how to control an alchemy flame," Duan Shu replied, explaining.
"To study alchemy, you need a strong grasp of basic flame control principles and an Alchemy Flame for refining pills."
"Do you also have one?" Chen Tian turned to Yin Yun, who nodded in response. "Yes, I have an Alchemy Flame that I use for refining pills. Look."
She opened her palm. Inside her palm, a small red flame flickered to life, dancing and swirling with vibrant colors.
"Well, it's a nameless flame, but it gets the job done."
Chen Tian was intrigued by the alchemy flames. He had fought many cultivators that possessed such flames in the past, but never cultivated one since he wasn't good with the Fire attribute and didn't have any passion to learn alchemy.
'Now that I have the Fire crystal, it would be good to have an alchemy flame,' Chen Tian thought to himself.
Seeing him not quite following her explanation, Duan Shu continued, "With an alchemy flame, you can refine pills much more efficiently. The quality and purity of the pills will also be much higher.
For example, even if a novice in alchemy had slight knowledge of refining pills, they would be able to produce high-grade pills with perfect purity using a good alchemy flame."
"Chen Tian, alchemy flames aren't only for alchemy and can be used in combat as well. Many experts use their alchemy flames to enhance their martial arts skills and increase their power in battle," This time it was Xu Zhiyuan who spoke.
Even if he didn't have any alchemy flames, he knew many that did, and all of them were experts in both alchemy and combat.
The combination of alchemy flames and martial arts skills made them formidable opponents on the battlefield.
Xu Zhiyuan had witnessed firsthand the destructive power of these experts when they unleashed their full flame potential during a heated battle.
"Xu Zhiyuan is right; alchemy flame can be a powerful tool in the hands of skilled martial artists," Duan Shu agreed, nodding in approval.
So she began to explain to Chen Tian about Alchemy Flames, as both didn't know that Chen Tian already knew everything he wanted to know about that particular subject. Stay updated via m-v l|-NovelBin.net
Even if he wasn't a fire cultivator in his past life, he already had the information he needed as a result of his experiences, but he still decided to listen to Duan Shu's explanation.
"Listen, like how alchemists have levels that differ between a beginner and a master, the same applies to alchemy fire.
There are two types of alchemy flames, Named flames and Unnamed flames.
Named flames are unique and powerful flames that are given a specific name and have special effects when used in creating pills or fighting.
Unnamed flames, on the other hand, are more common and are not as powerful as named flames, but they can still be very useful in alchemy."
As Duan Shu continued to explain, Chen Tian listened attentively, absorbing all the information like a sponge.
Though he already knew about Alchemy Flames, he found Duan Shu's explanations to be helpful.
"So, from your words, Named alchemy flames are better." Duan Shu nodded in agreement, "Yes, named alchemy flames are indeed more sought after for their unique properties and effects."
"Then how do I get one?" Chen Tian asked eagerly. But Duan Shu shook her head, "
"Brother Tian, obtaining a named alchemy flame is no easy task. It requires great luck or money." Yin Yun chimed in.
"Why? Are they expensive?"
Yin Yun chuckled, "Oh, not just expensive, but also incredibly rare. The cheapest flame can be sold for 10 million high-grade spirit stones. It's not something that just anyone can obtain."
Hearing the number, Chen Tian's eyes widened in shock. With his current savings of only about 2,000 low-grade spirit stones, he knew that he had a long way to go before he could even dream of owning a named alchemy flame.
In his past life, Chen Tian would have laughed at such a price, considering that one immortal stone was worth more than 1 million high-grade spirit stones.
Unlike the price of spirit stones, immortal stones were much more valuable and sought after and could only be found in the Nine Heavens. For them to exist, they would need Immortal Qi that the mortal world didn't possess.
'I still have those Immortal stones that I got from the cave, but I don't plan on selling them even if I could. However, they barely contain any Immortal Qi, I can still use them to build a normal formation on earth.' Chen Tian was well aware that the value of using Immortal Qi in a formation better than any high-grade stone was priceless.
"So the only way for me is to get an unnamed flame?" That was Chen Tian's best option for now.
"Mhm, that's the only way." Duan Shu nodded.
"Don't worry, you could always change your flame later if you find a good one." Chen Tian nodded.
In fact, Chen Tian already had certain flames in his mind.
If he could have his hands on one of the heavenly flames, not only would his combat power increase exponentially, but his path as an alchemist would definitely be boosted to a whole new level.
The thought of possessing a heavenly flame fueled Chen Tian's determination even more.
Heavenly Flames were incredibly rare and powerful; not only are they hard to find, but even with Chen Tian's past cultivation, he wasn't confident that he could obtain one.
Since only 50 Heavenly Flames exist as they are one of a kind, that means that if a person obtains the flame, they will be the only one in the world with that specific flame, and only when the person that has the flame dies can the flame be captured again.
Moreover, the lowest-ranked flame among the top 50 could easily overpower even the strongest Named flame.
This excited Chen Tian, driving him to push himself further to find one, as he was clear about the power of heavenly flames.
'I need to get my hands on one.'
