Chapter 38: How Much is this Head Worth?
The so-called special flames naturally surpassed ordinary ones.
For example, the beast flames inside some monsters, the essence flames in volcanoes, and so on.
Additionally, there’s another type of flame that drived countless alchemists crazy: the Heaven and Earth Strange Flame!
They inherently possessed immense power, far exceeding beast flames and essence flames.
Some of them could even develop intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation.
Although alchemists might not be as strong in combat as those genius warriors, if they could master such flames, both their alchemy and combat would experience unimaginable enhancements.
Alchemists who possessed the Heaven and Earth Strange Flame were not weaker in combat than warriors.
In fact, they were stronger than the majority!
However, the Heaven and Earth Strange Flame was quite rare and inherently violent.
Some were so wild that even if encountered, they were difficult to subdue.
If forcibly absorbed into the body, it might result in immediate death!
Therefore, for most alchemists, beast flames are actually the best choice!
They had high flame quality and possessed a certain ferocity that can be used in combat.
“When Sister arrives, I can ask where to get beast flames.” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly. The “Imperial Fire Sun Inciniration Technique” could only accommodate one type of flame and cannot be easily changed.
So, caution was necessary in choosing.
“But now I can enhance the proficiency of the ‘Imperial Fire Sun Inciniration Technique’.” Meng Changqing withdrew his thoughts.
After adding Kong Linyue as a friend, he also triggered additional rewards: three cards to enhance the proficiency of martial arts at the profound level!
This was enough to elevate the “Imperial Fire Sun Inciniration Technique” to perfection and still have one card left.
To cultivate the “Imperial Fire Sun Inciniration Technique,” it must at least reach Mastery to absorb beast flames into the body and transform them into fire for alchemy.
Otherwise, there would be great danger.
However, if it reached Mastery, the risk is much lower. As for perfection, there’s almost no danger.
Even some very strong beast flames could be forcibly absorbed.
“System, enhance the ‘Imperial Fire Sun Inciniration Technique’!”
[Consuming two cards to enhance the proficiency of martial arts at the profound level!]
[Enhancement complete!]
As soon as the words fell, more martial arts insights surged into his mind.
After about a moment, they were all absorbed. This content belongs to NoveI-Fire.ɴet
“‘Imperial Fire Sun Inciniration Technique’ is perfected!” As a profound-level high-grade martial art, the difficulty of cultivation was naturally very high.
As for Kong Linyue and Elder Feng, they only cultivated it to mastery. But he had already reached perfection.
If the people of Medicine King Peak knew about this, they would probably come over and brazenly snatch him.
Laughing and shaking his head, Meng Changqing dispelled distracting thoughts.
He didn’t choose to slack off and rest, but closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Practicing cultivation was like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you’ll retreat.
This retreat was relative, as everyone was progressing.
If you remain stagnant while others advance, then it’s considered falling behind.
The next day, as the morning sun broke through, the sky was filled with rosy clouds.
Meng Changqing finished his cultivation and walked out of his room.
The spirits of martial cultivators were relatively abundant. They could undergo bitter cultivation for many days before feeling mentally fatigued.
There were many things to do today.
First, he needed to go to the Task Hall to complete his tasks.
Perhaps due to the imminent opening of the sect’s secret realm, the previously deserted inner sect roads gradually became busier with people coming and going.
Meng Changqing even saw many individuals with quite impressive attributes.
If this were the outer sect, he would certainly go over to make friends. But now, there’s no need because his panel was already quite good.
Second-grade constitution, excellent comprehension, and three types of talents, among others. Unless someone was better than him, there’s no value in making friends.
Soon, Meng Changqing arrived at the Task Hall.
There were more people here now.
Unfortunately, he still didn’t see any true disciples.
It seemed his previous idea was correct; true disciples won’t come to the Task Hall.
“Soon, I’ll be able to step into the Sea Cleaving Realm.” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly.
Ever since he witnessed the power of True Qi yesterday, he became even more eager.
That kind of style, that kind of lethality, who can resist its temptation?
Using “cloud and mud” to describe the gap between Aperture Connecting Realm and Sea Cleaving Realm was not an exaggeration at all.
Gathering his thoughts, Meng Changqing still looked at the attributes of the people around him.
Although they were all pretty good, the same old saying applied: they didn’t offer much help to him.
Perhaps at the level of Sea Cleaving Realm, there would be obvious changes.
Coming to the counter, it was still the disciple from the task hall.
“Here to hand in a task,” Meng Changqing took out the token belonging to the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, which still had bloodstains on it.
“It’s you!” The task hall disciple recognized Meng Changqing.
“You actually completed it!” When Meng Changqing chose this task initially, he had been persuaded for quite some time, so the impression was deep.
Originally, they thought this person would come back injured. Who would have thought that not only was he intact, but he also slew the Tian Tong Sect!
“It seems you’re not a simple person,” the task hall disciple exclaimed, taking the token.
“You flatter me. This person was just careless,” Meng Changqing smiled faintly.
“That’s also possible,” the task hall disciple’s mind stirred.
That explains it. After all, the Tian Tong Sect is the top task in the hall, and a Seventh Level Aperture Connecting Realm expert. How could it be easily slain by someone at the Fourth Level of Aperture Connecting Realm?
It must have been carelessness that allowed the sneak attack to succeed.
“The task reward is three thousand contribution points. If you want to exchange something, you can go to the nearby Pill Hall or the Hidden Martial Pavilion, etc.,” the task hall disciple gave Meng Changqing three blue specially made iron tokens.
Each token represented one thousand contribution points.
“Wait, I have something else,” Meng Changqing touched his storage ring. Suddenly, there appeared something wrapped in white cloth in his hand, soaked in blood.
Placing it on the counter, he removed the white cloth, revealing the resentful face of Bei Qianke.
The task hall disciple was immediately frightened, stepping back several steps.
This included the disciples waiting to receive or hand in tasks around.
After all, suddenly seeing a human head pop out would startle anyone.
“The head of Bei Qianke, the Ghost Finger, what’s its value?” The plain voice fell, and the previously noisy task hall suddenly fell into silence.
