Volume 1: Red Dust Sword Sect Chapter 39: Fire Control Technique

  Zhang Hao hastily withdrew his gaze and stood inside the house for a while. A flurry of panicked footsteps echoed from afar, growing louder as they approached.

  He looked up and saw that it was just a young Taoist boy, about eleven or twelve years old, who was quite handsome, but the Taoist robe he wore was really too big for him, making him look somewhat incongruous and comical.

  Xiao Dao Tong saw Zhang Hao and cupped his hands, saying: "Senior brother, senior brother, the great senior brother has gone to the Tian Huang market to buy materials. Just now I received a message from the Qiuxuan Peak of the Seventh Mystery Gate, asking you to go to the Xianyan Peak, where the old friend of the sect leader, Qiuxuan Daoist, is looking for you to reminisce about the past!"

  The name "Piaoyu Dao Ren" made Zhang Hao hesitant, wondering whether to go or not. His senior brother's materials had not been purchased yet, and he didn't even have a lifesaving item on him, so how could he possibly fight against Piaoyu Dao Ren?

  Xiang Leng smiled coldly: "You stinky little kid, let this little Daoist child inform the Piaoyou Dao person that you are in seclusion breaking through, and when you come out of seclusion, you will naturally go find him!"

  Zhang Hao thought for a moment and felt it was feasible, so he repeated what he had just said to the little Taoist priest.

  The little Taoist heard this and his mind was momentarily stunned. He looked strange and said, "Brother, you didn't close your door, isn't this deceiving people?"

  Zhang Hao rubbed his nose, looking a bit embarrassed, and chuckled self-deprecatingly. He looked up at Xiao Daotong's innocent face and smiled mischievously: "Right, just deceive that old immortal Piaoyu Daoist, do as I say!"

  The little Taoist boy's expression changed greatly as soon as he heard, but this little Taoist boy was only barely practicing the entrance stage of Qi, and had just touched the first realm of Qi. Zhang Hao's eyes looked over with a warm gaze, but the Nine Yang energy hidden in his body naturally flowed out, having a kind of suppressive effect on the spiritual power inside the little Taoist boy's body. This little Taoist boy also instinctively had a thread of fear towards Zhang Hao, so although he was surprised, he quickly collected his expression, looked at Zhang Hao for a moment, and then swiftly ran off to transmit the message.

  The Hongchen Sword Sect and the Qixuan Sect have always been in close contact, this little Taoist child's identity is lowly, not clear about the inside story of Su Lun's coming, so he looks surprised.

  The timing is not yet ripe, and Zhang Hao does not want to immediately tear his face with the Seventh Mystic Gate, so he has not explained this matter to the disciples either.

  After seeing the little Taoist leave, Zhang Hao savored the beautiful appearance of Murong Xue for a while before turning around and entering to start "Three Thousand Worlds". It wasn't until the sound of knocking on the door came from outside that Zhang Hao stood up from inside.

  Opening the door and taking a look, Zhang Yuefeng was seen holding three cloth bags with the words "Tian Huang" on them, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead, standing awkwardly outside the house.

  "Thanks a lot, Master." Zhang Hao hastily stepped aside and thanked him while letting Zhang Yuefeng enter the house.

  Zhang Yuefeng walked into the house, put three bags of materials on the only wooden table in the house, and then turned around to say: "I've prepared everything for you, don't waste these materials, they were bought with spirit stones!"

  "Don't worry, Brother." Zhang Hao hastily assured.

  "Right, what kind of pill are you planning to refine? Our Red Dust Sword Sect is just a low-level loose cultivator sect, we don't even have a pill furnace. Are you going to the Dao De Sect to refine pills? Is it water refining or fire refining? Do you need help?"

  Zhang Hao had no basic concept of refining Dan medicine at all, and was completely uninitiated. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer properly. Moreover, his memory of the Dao De Sect came entirely from Xiao Zi's mouth, and he only knew that there was a fire-attribute treasure in the Dao De Sect that could refine Dan medicine.

  Xiang hastily reminded him, "Just say the water refining method, it's practiced inside the door, no one needs to help, just find a cold pool!"

  Zhang Hao hastily said: "Don't worry about the refining of Dan medicine, brother. The method I use is water refining, it's extremely simple, don't worry!"

  Zhang Yuefeng's heart sank at the news.

  Zhang Hao's words are somewhat suspicious of being an outsider. The method of water refining is more difficult than fire refining, and the requirements for the quality of spiritual energy, the quality of water, the speed of the cutting method, and the familiarity of finger techniques are all required. If one step goes wrong, these materials will be completely ruined.

  Zhang Yuefeng's expression was strange as he thought of this, and after glancing at Zhang Hao, he walked out of the house.

  Zhang Hao was originally thinking about how to deal with Zhang Yuefeng's next question, but he didn't expect him to leave suddenly like that, without even saying goodbye.

  "Let him go! Once the thing is refined, he won't be sad anymore." Xiang knew that Zhang Hao had misspoken and looked at Zhang Yuefeng's back as he said so.

  Zhang Hao didn't take this matter to heart, but instead turned around and looked at the only old table in the house, which was filled with all sorts of materials.

  There was grass on the table, wood, strange stones, and strange flowers. Zhang Hao didn't recognize these materials. One of them, a stone about the size of a small finger, caught his eye.

  A surge of pure yang energy stirred within him, and as he gazed at the three-inch-long black-blue stone, he couldn't resist reaching out to take it in hand. Just as his fingers made contact with the stone, a scorching breath transmitted from it, like the golden crow's aura of the sun, fiercely burning his fingertips, causing him to instinctively withdraw his hand quickly. But immediately after, an eerie chill froze the blood in his fingers solid.

  "What is this thing?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but exclaim, the pure yang energy in his body quickly transmitted to his fingertips, dissolving these two strange auras into nothingness.

  "Three-grade Frostfire Stone, a low-quality material used to refine the Inferno Ice Blast Pill. It's barely enough to deal with Golden Dan cultivators, but it should be sufficient. As long as they're not mid-stage Nascent Soul experts, they'll definitely suffer heavy losses!"

  Looking at the cruel cold smile at the corner of Zhang's mouth, Zhang Hao felt inexplicably chilled in his heart, but thinking of the power of this fierce flame ice explosion pill, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

  He turned his head and took another look at the small stone on the table. At this time, the ice flint on the table had returned to its normal appearance, with a slight change in color, like a sapphire crystal, two strange icy and fiery auras circulating naturally inside, as if it was a self-contained space.

  "You little stinker, the color of this ice stone has changed to icy blue because it absorbed a part of your Nine Yang energy, and its grade has also improved somewhat!" Xiang said as he put the ice stone away in the Tongtian Tower.

  Arrange various materials neatly and use spiritual energy to pass on a small Taoist technique to Zhang Hao.

  "Control Fire Technique," Zhang Hao said softly, closing his eyes and focusing his mind to recall the various methods and key points of controlling fire in his mind.

  Xiang Jian saw Zhang Hao open his eyes and use spiritual transmission to say: "You little stinker, when I was refining the elixir, you should have been practicing this fire control technique. This is the most basic alchemy entrance technique, but your Red Dust Sword Sect doesn't even have this low-level technique. Who knows when the revival of the Red Dust Sword Sect will be achieved?"

  Zhang Hao was carefully operating the spiritual energy inside his body, his fingers continuously pinching and moving, the spiritual energy changing unpredictably, connecting into a series of flashing silver lights, his long fingers repeatedly flying up and down, as fast as lightning.

  "Not bad, your talent is not bad. Although you have never practiced the fire control technique, your comprehension is good!" Xiang looked at Zhang Hao and quickly grasped the finger method of the fire control technique, stroking his beard in praise.

  "Old man, this fire control technique is supposed to guide the spiritual fire within my body to refine the elixir, but I haven't collected any spiritual fire yet. My physical strength hasn't reached the level of collecting spiritual fire to temper my body. What should I do next?"

  "You don't have a spiritual flame, the Fulong Cauldron has yin-yang spiritual flames inside. First, borrow the yin-yang spiritual flames from the Fulong Cauldron to practice, and when you're familiar with the control method and your realm is elevated, you can encounter higher-level spiritual flames and absorb them into your body. At that time, your physical body will be tempered by the spiritual flames day and night, and your realm will be elevated again!"

  Xiang summoned the Fulong Ding while speaking.

  With a clear and melodious dragon's roar, the Fow Dragon Cauldron flew out of Zhang Hao's body and landed in the large hall inside the house.

  Since swallowing the wheel of reincarnation, Fulong Ding has also undergone some changes. The heavenly dragon carvings on the body of the cauldron have become vivid and lifelike. Under the reflection of the flames inside the cauldron, a fiery red glow emerges, making it look alive.

  Saw Zhang Hao's astonished gaze.

  Shang Leng smiled coldly: "Stinky little kid, as long as the Tongtian Tower is restored to its original level of Daoist instrument, the Fulong Cauldron will reveal nine dragon illusions inside it, and all the elixirs and artifacts refined in it will be imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Dragon, their quality will be greatly enhanced!"

  "The Dao instrument's standard, it's just that it won't be easy to recover! The seven doors of the Xian Tian world are all just one door and one Dao instrument, they are the treasures that suppress the mountain gate's energy!" Zhang Hao said somewhat disheartened after hearing Shang's words.

  "Alright, let's start practicing fire control techniques first!"

  "Hmm!" Zhang Hao responded with a sound, then circulated the spiritual energy inside his body, and shouted loudly: "Rise!"

  Xiang hastily set up a forbidden array around them, lest Zhang Hao accidentally set the house on fire.

  A small cluster of fine, firefly-like flames flew from the yin-yang true fire in the Fulong Cauldron into Zhang Hao's fingertips.

  Fire is formless and shapeless, making it extremely challenging for cultivators to control, testing their ability to manipulate spiritual energy.

  Feeling the flame jumping at his fingertips, he was overjoyed and quickly used the fire control technique to manipulate the silver needle. The spiritual energy transformed into thin silver threads that wrapped around the flames on his fingertips, and the spiritual energy in his body was ignited by a scorching heat and rapidly consumed.

  Zhang Hao's fingers relaxed, and his finger technique became even more fluent. The flame at the tip of his fingers gradually changed, and after a few breaths, it transformed into a small ball of fire about the size of three fingers, jumping up and down restlessly.
