230: Heaven-Burning Furnace Technique - Intermediate Earth Rank!

After this simple movement, she seemed to have barely any strength left to stand.

Wang Han, who was beside her, saw this scene, and a look of 'as expected' appeared on his rugged face. He grumbled in a muffled voice, muttering,

“Tsk, as expected. The Bai family of Hundred Arts, they live up to their reputation as reckless madmen.”

Although his voice wasn't loud, everyone present heard it clearly.

“The Bai family of Hundred Arts?”

Jiang Donghua's heart stirred, and he instantly understood.

So that was her background; no wonder she was so compatible with pupil techniques and could unleash them instantly, but the cost was clearly immense.

He immediately took a step forward, reaching out to support Bai Ling, preventing her from collapsing due to exhaustion. His sword-like brows furrowed slightly, and his tone carried a hint of concern he himself hadn't noticed.

“What's wrong with you? Are you alright?”

Bai Ling shook her head weakly, seeming to struggle even to speak. She merely indicated with her eyes that she could still hold on, but her pale complexion and trembling body were unconvincing.

Evidently, with her current strength, forcefully activating a xuan-rank high-tier pupil technique that she had not yet mastered.

Especially when targeting such a unique objective, had placed an enormous burden on her.

This was by no means a simple depletion of Dou Qi; it was more like signs of Soul Power overdraft and even a deficiency of vital energy and blood!

Jiang Donghua didn't hesitate in the slightest; the storage ring on his finger shimmered continuously.

The next moment, several exquisite small jade bottles appeared in his hand.

He quickly opened the stoppers, and a rich, refreshing pill aroma immediately diffused, invigorating everyone nearby.

He poured three pills from the bottle.

One was perfectly round and light blue, emitting a cool and refreshing aura.

One was crimson as blood, faintly imbued with vital energy and blood, and another was even enveloped in a faint spiritual halo, its medicinal power astonishing.

“This is a third-grade pill, the Spirit Condensing Pill, which can quickly restore Soul Power. This is a third-grade pill, the Vitality and Blood Pill, to replenish vital energy and blood loss. This fourth-grade pill, the Foundation Cultivating Spirit Pill, strengthens the foundation and cultivates the origin, and can stabilize your condition at the fastest speed.”

Jiang Donghua's speaking speed wasn't fast, but he clearly explained the pills' effects, while simultaneously handing the three pills to Bai Ling.

“Take them quickly, don't leave any sequelae.”

He was incredibly generous and spared no expense.

A fourth-grade pill, even for him, was a precious item, but at this moment, he showed no reluctance in taking it out.

Bai Ling looked at the three fragrant, valuable pills before her, especially the fourth-grade Foundation Cultivating Spirit Pill. A trace of surprise and complexity flickered in her dim eyes.

She hadn't expected Jiang Donghua to be so generous.

She didn't feign modesty, knowing her condition was extremely poor. She immediately took the pills with her slightly trembling hand and swallowed them all at once.

The pills melted upon entering her mouth, transforming into warm currents and cool qi that rapidly surged into her limbs and bones, nourishing her nearly parched spirit and vital energy.

Her pale complexion almost visibly regained a hint of color, and her rapid breathing gradually stabilized.

“Thank you, Brother Donghua.”

Bai Ling caught her breath. Although her voice was still weak, she finally had some strength. Her gaze towards Jiang Donghua was filled with sincere gratitude.

Seeing her condition stabilize, Jiang Donghua nodded slightly, finally feeling relieved.

His gaze finally returned to the treasure in his hand, which he had gone through so much trouble to obtain.

And Zhao Ming and Lin Xiu's gazes were also fixed on it. They all wanted to know what kind of heaven-defying cultivation method it was that Jiang Donghua was so persistent about, and that even caused Bai Ling to pay a considerable price to obtain.

Jiang Donghua's gaze was solemn, falling upon the item in his palm.

It wasn't a traditional scroll or jade slip, but a strange token, about the size of a palm, entirely dark red, as if cast from solidified lava and some unknown metal.

The token felt warm to the touch, even somewhat hot, and its surface was not smooth, but covered with naturally formed, profound patterns resembling flowing magma.

These patterns faintly shimmered with a deep purple luster under the light; the purplish-red halo from before came precisely from this.

In the center of the token, ancient and domineering characters, as if naturally burned by flames, exuded a terrifying aura of incinerating all things.

Heaven Burning Furnace Art, middle-rank earth tier!

When Jiang Donghua's Soul Power perceived this name and the rank it represented, even with his temperament, his breath couldn't help but catch!

middle-rank earth tier!

This far exceeded his initial expectation of earth rank low-tier!

He suppressed his excitement and continued to perceive the information contained within.

Effect: This cultivation method is incomparably domineering. Cultivation requires drawing in geofire, powerful Beast Fire, or even an exotic flame into the body, to forge a Heaven Burning Furnace in the dantian's Qi Sea.

Once the furnace is formed, the cultivator's speed of refining heaven and earth energy drastically increases. The Fire Attribute Dou Qi condensed is extremely refined, scorching, and its quality far surpasses that of other cultivation methods of the same rank. It possesses extremely strong destructive properties, capable of easily burning through an opponent's Dou Qi defense during combat.

Furthermore, flames can be nurtured within the furnace, continuously enhancing their power, and it can even slowly devour and fuse with other flames, possessing infinite potential.

Upon reaching great accomplishment, Dou Qi flows like molten lava, and every movement carries the might to burn the heavens and boil the seas. The physical body also benefits from the furnace's nourishment, greatly increasing in strength.

The description of this cultivation method made Jiang Donghua's heart pound violently.

This was simply tailor-made for him!

As an Alchemist, he was inherently compatible with flames. This cultivation method not only possessed immense power but also had growth potential, and even mentioned exotic flames!

Its value was immeasurable!

And when he subconsciously whispered,

“Heaven Burning Furnace Art, middle-rank earth tier.”

At these words,

“What?!”

“middle-rank earth tier?!”

“This, how is this possible?!”

Zhao Ming, Wang Han, Lin Xiu, and even Bai Ling, whose face was still somewhat pale after taking the pills, all exclaimed in unison, their faces instantly covered with unparalleled shock and disbelief!

They came from the Central Plains, and their knowledge far surpassed that of those from the Black-Corner Region. Precisely because of this, they understood even more clearly what a middle-rank earth tier cultivation method meant!

Zhao Ming's pupils constricted, his voice even carrying a hint of dryness.

“A middle-rank earth tier, and such a domineering Fire Attribute cultivation method! A cultivation method of this level, even in the Central Plains, is enough to serve as the core inheritance of a first-rate power, and would attract countless strong individuals to contend for it!”

Wang Han's mouth hung open, looking at the dark red token, his eyes filled with naked envy and even a hint of reverence, he muttered,

“Oh my goodness, middle-rank earth tier, how powerful would this thing be if cultivated?”

Lin Xiu also gasped, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

“Brother Jiang, your luck is truly heaven-defying. This kind of cultivation method, let alone in the Outer Academy of Jia Nan Academy, would absolutely be among the top ranks even in the Inner Academy.”

Bai Ling even covered her small mouth, looking at the token, then at Jiang Donghua, finally understanding why even her ultimate pupil technique could only barely confuse the light cluster for an instant.

The spirituality and rank of this cultivation method were simply too high!

After the shock came an uncontrollable envy and a hint of bitterness.

They had exerted all their strength, seeking nothing more than a xuan-rank high-tier Dou Technique or one comparable to earth rank low-tier, while Jiang Donghua had directly obtained a true middle-rank earth tier cultivation method!

The disparity between them was like the difference between clouds and mud!

“What a lucky guy to be so enviable!”

Zhao Ming finally let out a long sigh, saying with a complicated tone.
