Chapter 65: Controlling Fire

  Today's second update~~~

  Zhang Chong only felt that his limbs and bones were filled with a refreshing feeling, which spread out and filled his entire body with an extremely warm and comfortable sensation. Although this breath was extremely subtle, it had a peaceful feeling, wandering around inside his body.

  "I wonder if it will be like cultivating spiritual power and magic, where there's no way to fully activate it?" Zhang Chong thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a hint of worry.

  But that breath of air slowly wandered to the heart, this time Zhang Chong did not have a heart-wrenching feeling, but let the breath wander past.

  "There's no problem anymore." Zhang Chong's heart was overjoyed, and he continued to cultivate further.

  The breath circulated within the body, wandered around in a circle, and then surged out again from the center of the palm. It was only at this moment that Zhang Zhong discovered that the most difficult part of controlling fire lay precisely here.

  For the size, speed and accuracy of the breath, none can be missing, otherwise the flame cannot be generated from the palm of the hand.

  Zhang tried many times, and finally generated a flame, but even this flame was extremely unstable, burning for only a moment before disappearing immediately.

  However, Zhang Chong was not completely without gain. He discovered that the power of heaven and earth in his body had been accumulating continuously, although the current power compared to the spiritual power infused by Mohe was like a small river compared to a vast ocean. Nevertheless, this power was something he could control freely.

  With time and continuous accumulation, it should be possible to reach a level comparable to that of the spiritual power. At that point, his attack power will be greatly enhanced.

  Zhang Chong was full of longing and expectation, cultivating himself. Unknowingly, time had already reached the early morning, so he stopped his cultivation and started to sit up.

  After this period of cultivation, Zhang Chong had his own way to distinguish between day and night, so the kind of situation where he accidentally cultivated for three days and three nights no longer occurred.

  The morning weather has a hint of coolness, the dew on the fallen leaves wraps around this coolness and gently falls down. In the dense foliage, strands of light pour in, giving people an extraordinary sense of tranquility. At this time, you absolutely won't feel the danger that lies within the mountains of the demonic beasts.

  Zhang Chong stood up, stretched his waist and couldn't help but say that the cultivation of controlling fire had put his spirit in an extremely good state.

  In high spirits, Zhang Chong also remembered the sentence he saw last night

  "Xuan Qi's ring, Xuan Qi's ring~~~" He muttered to himself for a few sentences before suddenly having an epiphany. He immediately thought of the Su Meng Xin Jing he had found together with the pale green ring. Could it be that the "Xuan Qi's Ring" mentioned here was actually this pale green ring?

  "This pale green ring turned out to be the Xuanji Ring." Zhang Chong's thoughts swept over the ring, just as he was thinking about how to enter it.

  But suddenly felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the scene around him changed instantly, as if he was standing in an extremely spacious room.

  In front of him, there were rows and rows of exquisite wooden racks. Zhang Chong slowly walked past them, only to see that each rack was made up of small grid compartments, with a small jade slip inside each one.

  As he picked up the jade slips, Zhang Chong's heart "thumped" and jumped violently. He quickly walked along the wooden frame, holding each piece of jade slip in his hand, flipping it lightly before putting it down, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

  "Fa jue is the formula for refining paper talismans."

  "Golden Armor Symbol~~~"

  "Fireball Symbol~~~"

  "Dragon Sealing Symbol~~~"

  "Avatar Symbol~~~"

  Some of the talismans were familiar to Zhang Chong, while others he had never seen before. However, each jade slip described the cultivation method in great detail.

  After refining the three paper talismans, Zhang Chong's skill in refining talismans was also very proficient. He took a few glances and immediately understood the process of refining these paper talismans, which was surprisingly similar to his own method. With the experience of refining those three paper talismans, it can be said that as long as he had enough time, he could refine any paper talisman below third-grade.

  Looking at these talismans, Zhang couldn't help but drool. He was thinking that relying solely on the Golden Armor Guards and Fireballs would be too simplistic a tactic, with no way to gain an advantage in a battle against humans. But if he were to go buy talismans, even a single three-star talisman would cost a pretty penny.

  It's not throwing paper money during the battle, but throwing crystal stones instead.

  However, with so many paper charms' refining methods here, it's only natural to follow the paper charm flow from now on. At that time, after designing a perfect tactic, wouldn't throwing out the paper charms in a whoosh make the enemy flee in disarray?

  Thinking of the delightful scene, Zhang Chong couldn't help but open his big mouth and laugh loudly. In his mind, he seemed to have already imagined himself standing in front of everyone, with paper symbols hanging all over his body, looking heroic and majestic.

  After a long time, Zhang Chong slowly walked towards another wooden frame. On that frame were placed jade slips for refining elixirs. At this moment, Zhang Chong also discovered that apart from using the power of heaven and earth to refine Baiyang Dan, there were many other elixirs. Some required cauldrons and materials to be refined, but the refinement process was similar to refining paper talismans - one principle is clear, a hundred principles are clear. After looking at several jade slips, Zhang Chong felt that they could all be tried for refinement.

  Apart from these two wooden frames, there were rows and rows of extremely long wooden frames in front of him. However, the latticework on these frames was all covered up, making it impossible to open them. Therefore, Zhang Chong had no idea what was inside.

  After trying for half a day but getting nowhere, Zhang Chong also gave up and thought to himself,

  "Isn't it that this Xuanji ring has a spiritual nature, and only when one's own strength reaches a certain level will it allow oneself to see the corresponding content, but if it hasn't reached that point, then those things can't be seen?"

  He then thought of the jade slips he had seen, which were all one to three grade paper talismans and elixirs. These were things that he could refine himself. At this point, Zhang Chong also roughly estimated that his guesses should be roughly correct.

  The benefits of Su Meng Xin Jing and Xuan Qi's command are so great, which is also beyond his expectation, and he is overjoyed.

  Before his eyes, it was as if a mountain of crystal stones that could never be moved had appeared, causing Zhang to stare blankly at the rows of exquisite wooden shelves.

  "Just then," he suddenly heard someone softly calling him, which made him immediately wake up. At this time, he was shocked to find that he was still in the empty space of the demon beast mountain range, not in his own room.

  He didn't know how Lin Ye and Liu Sheng would react if they saw him suddenly disappear. Thinking of this, he also immediately changed his mind, and the scene in front of him immediately returned to the wilderness.

  Before his eyes, four worried gazes appeared. Liu Sheng patted his shoulder lightly and looked at him with some tension. Seeing that he opened his eyes, he also felt relieved and asked:

  "What's wrong with you? You've been standing here since early morning, eyes closed, motionless. Are you practicing some sort of strange martial art?"

  "Oh, I'm just cultivating and replenishing my energy," Zhang Chong said, also finding it strange. Liu Sheng and Lin Ye had only mentioned that he stood still, but hadn't said anything about him disappearing. Could it be that the one who had just entered the Xuanji Ring wasn't his real body, but rather his divine consciousness?

  Zhang Chongyue thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. While Liu Sheng and Lin Ye heard him say that he was cultivating his body and replenishing his energy, they didn't understand what he meant and thought he was joking.

  However, in the Changsheng Gate, for each disciple's cultivation path, they are all tailored to their individual characteristics and polished accordingly. Therefore, even if a particular skill is useful for Zhang Chong, it may not be applicable to them.

  "Alright, let's go!" With that, Lin Ye took the lead and continued forward. Liu Sheng and Zhang Chong followed closely behind.
