Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 74: Voodoo Ritual Fire

Chapter 74: Voodoo Ritual Fire

“Ugh…” Qin Yi looked at the raging fire in the room and couldn’t see the way at all, “How can I use this fire?”

“Everyone can practice spells of various systems such as summoning fire, lightning, etc., just like the Lightning Conduction Spell you have already used.” Liu Su explained, “But such fire is always an ordinary fire. No matter how high one’s cultivation is and how potent his code is, he can only amplify the fire. This fire has no special effect and is easy to be solved.”

Qin Yi understood in a second, “In other words, if I possess such special fire seed, then the spell effects released by the same code will be different from others?”

“That’s right. Such as the calamity fire that burns the soul directly, it is unstoppable. If you have the opportunity to refine this kind of fire seed, you can also release the calamity fire, but the hope is slim. Besides, with your current cultivation level, it is impossible for you to refine it.”

Qin Yi’s first reaction was worry, “Then Ye Ling’s fire should be very special, right? Will she be targeted?”

Liu Su said indifferently, “That is because the Flying Serpent bloodline has its own talent. It cannot be refined into a fire seed and is useless to others. Unless other snakes are eyeing its bloodline, this has nothing to do with whether it is fire or not, but the bloodline rivalry of the beastkin world. As a high-level bloodline inheritor, it will have to face it sooner or later.”

“Hmm…” Qin Yi was still a little worried. Bloodline rivalry, can that stupid Ye Ling survive…

Liu Su said, “Are you worried about whether your son future will inherit the bloodline of the Flying Serpent?”

Qin Yi, “!!!”

The mace was silent. Qin Yi felt that if it had eyes, it would probably be a squinting look of disdain.

“I didn’t mean that to Ye Ling!”

“Who knows?” Liu Su said contemptuously.

“Wretched stick… I can’t reason with you.” Qin Yi changed the subject, “Then what kind of fire is this Voodoo Ritual Fire?”

“Cheh.” Liu Su said with a lack of interest after the change of subject, “This fire is about the same power as ordinary fire against the enemy, but it has some special uses in refining items, which is especially meaningful for you to make elixirs and the like. Besides, this fire seed has just been refined, which can be digested with your current cultivation.”

“Supportive fire…” Qin Yi did not discriminate against supportive products at all. He knew that in many cases such things were more valuable than simple powerful ones, “This shaman is quite poor, so how did he own such a valuable thing?”

“This kind of fire seed is of a lower level and can be cultivated. It’s not that valuable, just relatively rare.” Liu Su said leisurely, “When you have the chance to encounter the uncultivable natural fire, such as Chaos Fire, Purgatory Fire, and Samadhi Fire, you will know what is valuable and rare.”

Qin Yi shook his head. He never fantasized about such remote things, but collecting this special kind of fire seed itself made him very interested. It reminded him of the fun of collecting certain special items while playing games.

“How to refine this?”

“I will teach you a counterfire code… There will be other fire seeds in the future, you just have to use this code.”

Qin Yi really didn’t know how many things Liu Su had in its belly. Apart from beastkin spells of different systems and voodoo spells, he only knew that Liu Su was omnipotent except divination.

This was simply more badass than some seniors crossing over with computers and search engine.

Under the code, the raging fire in the room slowly shrank into a small fire the size of a match flame. Qin Yi stretched out his hand and the fire jumped into his palm. It was flickering as if dancing.

“The thunder code I taught you before was the best against the vultures at that time. Now that you have a fire seed, you will focus on cultivating the spell of the fire system in the future.” Liu Su said, “These days, things are happening one after another, so you were just learning the miscellaneous things just to deal with the situations. After this matter is over, it’s time for you to cultivate in peace.”

Qin Yi sat cross-legged, watching the fire slowly penetrate into his body. He whispered, “I just hope that the trip to Beastkin City will go smoothly…”

Liu Su didn’t say anything, which meant that it was not optimistic in it at all.

Qin Yi sighed, collected his mind, and guided the fire all the way up to his forehead.

There was no sound from the outside world, but Qin Yi seemed to be able to hear a “boom“. A cluster of flames rose up and swayed slowly in his forehead.

“It’s done?” Qin Yi said in a strange tone.

“It’s done.” Liu Su’s tone was even weirder.

“Your code is amazing.”

“…” Mace shook as if it wanted to hit someone.

It is true that this code is indeed superior to similar codes… But when I absorbed and refined various types of fire seeds and lightning sparks, it took no less than half an hour at least. That was already a genius.

Absorbing casually will only burn oneself to death. How can it be so smooth? That is fire. Do you think it is your maid?

If this person wasn’t Qin Yi, I really wanted to knock him to death.

“Let’s go refine elixirs.” Liu Su said weakly with a hint of despair.

…

Refining elixirs was a bit troublesome because the medicinal materials stored by the shaman were not suitable for use. There was a big difference between what was needed for voodoo spells and what was needed for tao spells. Qin Yi arrived at the medical material room and looked at the dazzling array of toads, swamp mud, human skin, and bone tokens. He simply couldn’t complain.

Finally, after picking some materials, he finally found some things that could be used to refine a grade 7 elixir called “Fundamental Elixir”, which could quickly expand Qin Yi’s Qi Training Stage; there was also a “Blood Cleanse Elixir” that could remove some impurities in Ye Ling’s blood.

Both were not high-grade, which was a waste of Blood Lotus, but they were the most suitable for the current situation.

As for the soul-nurturing medicine that he originally wanted to refine for Liu Su, he could only put it later.

“It doesn’t matter.” Liu Su was very optimistic, “This Blood Lotus has five petals. You only need half a petal to refine 2 furnaces of these 2 elixirs, which is just enough for the trip to Beastkin City. We will search for the remaining materials in the Beastkin City. There must be a lot of good stuff there.”

Qin Yi took the shaman’s alchemy furnace and began to prepare the medicinal materials. At the same time, he asked, “Stick Stick, besides continuing to nourish your soul, how are you going to restore your body?”

“It’s too early to say this. At least I won’t be able to consider reshaping my body until I can leave my body… the stick.”

For the soul to leave the body, if it corresponds to regular cultivation, it is Yang Spirit Out. Theoretically, if one can reach the point of Yang Spirit leaving the body, the person has basically achieved immortality because the physical body is no longer important. The Yang Spirit can be attached to any shell and could live forever. That is eternal life.

I learn tao spells not for immortality. I’m just interested in it, no one will not be. It’s not that I want to dominate the world or…

But now, I have to keep cultivating just to get the things that Liu Su needs.

Liu Su didn’t say anything, but Qin Yi knew very well that no one would want to stay in a dark mace and watch the outside world silently.

Just thinking about those days would drive him crazy, and Liu Su had stayed in it for thousands of years.

As he thought so, he didn’t stop preparing the medical materials. After that, he recollected his mind and stretched his finger. The elixir fire rose on his finger.

“Eh…” Looking at the fire, Qin Yi finally understood why Liu Su said this was special.

It was very stable.

Elixir fire had different temperatures at different locations. Even the fire he cast using spells was unstable and difficult to control. For alchemists, regulating flames was a skill that required long-term mastery. If one was not careful, the elixir would be wasted.

However, this kind of fire had the same temperature no matter where it was. When he needed to adjust the temperatures or adjust the flame concentration in a certain part, he only needed to control the spiritual force himself, which was countless times easier.

Apart from the lack of power, this was indeed the fire that alchemists dreamed of.

Qin Yi originally had a success rate of more than 90% in refining ordinary elixirs. Even the grade 9 detoxification pills had a success rate of 70-80%. However, since he had never refined the grade 7 elixirs before, the success rate might not be too high. Even 50% was decent.

But with this fire, Qin Yi was 80% sure to refine the grade 7 elixirs!
