The whole spiritual melting lasted for more than two hours and Ye Lingyue watched the process without a blink.
She was in great shock when the Fire Red Dragon Whip was eventually created and came back to her sense after a long while.
Before watching the process, Ye Lingyue had believed that spiritual melting was not that difficult.
Ye Lingyue was born into the Ye Family, a family that had gained its reputation through generations of weapon-making. Before Ye Lingyue became a master alchemist, she had stayed quite long in the weapon-making room of the Ye Family. So she learned a lot and knew something about weapon-making.
But her earlier outlook on weapon-making was totally changed when she saw Long Baobao created a brand new spiritual artifact without even using the hammer.
Warriors relied on the brutal force of the hammer to make spiritual artifacts while master alchemists depended on their spiritual energy. The weapon-making skill of Long Baobao was far beyond that of ordinary master alchemists.
The blue flame was no other than Long Baobao’s natal fire—the Star Fire.
Since the boy was still young, Long Baobao’s vitality would be greatly undermined after he used the Star Fire. Every time he used the fire, he must rest for at least 3 or 4 days before the full recovery.
Normally, Long Baobao would never use the Star Fire when helping people in the City of Mercenaries with the weapon-making.
This time was an exception since the little boy was trying to help Lan Cai’er.
Now his small face was dreadfully pale and he seemed to be in an extremely weak state.
“Little Longbao, you look so tired. Rest for one day.” Ye Lingyue felt great sympathy for the little boy and gave him a Chaos Red Fruit.
The Chaos Red Fruit was extremely nutritious food that could greatly enhance the Star Energy. The fruit was quite rare even throughout the Qing Continent. After eating the fruit, Long Baobao felt much more comfortable.
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ “Sister Black, did you see clearly how I did the spiritual melting?” Long Baobao’s face showed full expectation.
Long Baobao knew that Ye Lingyue was unlikely to learn well the spiritual melting just after watching the process once. Earlier, it took him nearly one year to master the skill when he kept watching his grandfather do the spiritual melting. Moreover, his grandfather had instructed him many times.
But Ye Lingyue was not a member of the Long Family and Long Baobao could not instruct her directly. In this case, the boy could only let Ye Lingyue watch him do the spiritual melting as often as possible.
“I have understood the whole process. But the Spiritual Melting Method is exclusive to the Long Family and could not be mastered by everyone. I suppose the real key to the method might be the flame. Ordinary fire cannot be used for the spiritual melting.” Ye Lingyue thought for a while and said.
“Oh, my! Sister Black, you are awesome! You have found it just after watching once. Yes, you are right. Grandpa has also said that the fire for the spiritual melting should be the Star Fire in the best case. If there is no Star Fire, you can also make do with the Dan Fire. But the effect will be poorer and the time will be lengthened if you use the Dan Fire.” The old head of the Long Family actually used his natal fire—the Dan Fire.
“Then I can’t make it since I have not the Dan Fire.” Ye Lingyue forced a smile.
The so-called Dan Fire was similar to the natal fire cultivated from inside the diaphragm by Zhuge Yi or Jinwu Old Monster.
The Dan Fire was extraordinary and it was much hotter and more powerful than the ordinary fire.
“As long as you exceed the Reincarnation Fire Tribulation once, you will possess the Dan Fire. Even for Sister Lan, she can also possess the natal Dan Fire if she is willing to work hard.”
Lan Cai’er had told Long Baobao that it was because Ye Lingyue gave her a Rainbow Reincarnation Dan Pill that she could exceed the Reincarnation Fire Tribulation.
Sister Black seemed to have a lot of rare and strange things available, such as the Dan pill that could fix the property of the Reincarnation Tribulation, and the red fruit she had just given.
Ye Lingyue rubbed the head of Long Baobao and said somewhat helplessly.
“My body is different from others’. After I reach the level of a reincarnation warrior, I still cannot possess the Reincarnation Dan Fire even if I spend my whole life on cultivation.”
Ye Lingyue reached the Reincarnation Realm through the Heaven and Earth Tribulation.
Once you went through the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, you would never exceed the Reincarnation Tribulation. Naturally, Ye Lingyue would find it impossible to go through the Reincarnation Fire Tribulation and form the natal Dan Fire.
Even so, Ye Lingyue did not have any regret. After all, the Heaven and Earth Power was much stronger than the Reincarnation Power even though she might never possess the Dan Fire.
Long Baobao did not well understand what Ye Lingyue meant. He tilted his head and pondered for a while.
“Sister Black, you can actually possess the fire for the spiritual melting in another method.”
Long Baobao’s words excited Ye Lingyue.
“What method?”
“That method involves great pain and much difficulty. I have just heard of it from my grandpa. I don’t know whether there are successful users.” Long Baobao racked his brains and thought of the method his grandpa told him earlier.
Long Baobao told Ye Lingyue that there was a prodigy within the Long Family long long ago. His body was different and he could not possess the Dan Fire since he was young.
For a member of the well-established weapon-making family, no Dan Fire meant that it was impossible to make spiritual artifacts.
Then the man was driven out of the Cang State by the Long Family.
But he was not disheartened. It was said that he went to many places and found a place called the Wild Region. Then he discovered an ancient method for cultivation there.
Relying on that method for cultivation, he eventually created his own Dan Fire.
After gaining the Dan Fire, the man went back to the Long Family for revenge.
He used the Dan Fire to kill all the family members that had driven or mocked him. Moreover, he managed to be acknowledged as the new family head just because of the mysterious Dan Fire he possessed.
“This man is my great ancestor, Long Wang. 700 years ago, he brought the Long Family to its prime relying on the engulfing fire. My grandpa said that Long Wang gained the ability to control hundreds of fire after swallowing lots of unusual fire. The spiritual artifacts made by him even reached the sky grade. When Long Wang was alive, even the weapon-makers of the three sects showed great respect for him.” Long Baobao’s eyes showed full respect when he mentioned his ancestor.
Long Wang was ferocious and sinister in nature but he was the good model for every member of the Long Family. He constantly strove to become stronger and tried his best to survive the difficulty.
For Long Baobao who was in great trouble now, the ancestor Long Wang meant the belief for living on.
“Swallowing hundreds of fire? Long Wang was truly amazing. Why has not anyone of the Long Gamily learnt this method after Long Wang?” Ye Lingyue felt amazed and somewhat hopeful. But she remained cautious.
“Every coin has two sides. It might be amazing to swallow hundreds of fire and become the King of Fire, but there must be something bad about it.”
“This is what I have to say now. The ancestor Long Wang swallowed hundreds of fire and stunned the whole world. But he was the only one family head that died before he reached 50. Moreover, when he was dying, his body went up in flames automatically and hundreds of fire spurted out of his body. The whole Cang State was engulfed in flames for 3 whole days and the fire took a heavy toll on the state.”
When mentioning the big fire in the Cang State that year, Long Baobao still had not got over the scare yet.
