"Miss, what happened?" Xiaoling was confused. She didn't notice anything unusual.
"I don't know yet. I just discovered that there are abnormal energy fluctuations ahead. This energy... is very dangerous!"
Xue Jin looked solemn and extremely vigilant.
That dangerous aura was clearly an extremely strong fire-attribute aura.
However, the Nether Sea is an extremely cold place. People under the Holy Realm will be frozen if they cross here if they are not careful, and cannot resist the cold.
It is really weird that such terrifying fire energy appears in this place.
"Holy Flame..."
Among the crowd, only Xiao Chen whispered to himself, looking deeply into the abyss of the Nether Sea, as if he could penetrate the haze and see the essence.
Vaguely, he saw a person manipulating flames and refining elixirs in the abyss.
"Alchemy?"
Xiao Chen suddenly became interested.
Not to mention how good this man is at alchemy, just the flame he controls is enough to attract him.
Speaking of which, he has the Soul-eating Emperor Fire in his hand, and it is compatible with eleven other Emperor Fire auras.
If the twelve imperial fires are completely integrated, they should be able to reach the level of holy flames.
But theories are always theories, and Xiao Chen has never really integrated them. He usually only uses Soul-Eating Emperor Fire to make elixirs.
Right now, the flame used by this person who is refining alchemy in the abyss of the Netherworld Sea is definitely a holy-level flame, many times more advanced than the Soul-Eating Emperor Fire.
Only with the fusion of the Twelve Emperor Fires can it reach the level of this flame.
boom!
Suddenly, in the depths of the Netherworld Sea, a heart-wrenching energy exploded, rolling up waves in the sea area of thousands of miles.
Xue Jin and the others were as insignificant as dust in front of this terrifying scene, and were instantly swept away and swallowed up.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Xue Jin reminded everyone behind her, and then displayed a huge ice barrier in an attempt to protect everyone.
However……
Peng!
The huge waves crashed over and directly crushed the ice barrier. Everyone's formation was completely disrupted, torn apart and scattered.
…
Deep in the Nether Sea, a figure imprisoned himself, isolating the pressure of the sea water and isolating external interference, allowing him to concentrate on refining elixirs.
But looking at this figure, his temples are like frost, his beard and hair are all white, and his old face and posture are engraved with the traces of time, as if all the traces of the ages have left their mark on his body.
However, although he is extremely old, his eyes are piercing with gleaming light, his appearance is dry, but his inside is still incomprehensible. His withered body hides a power that would make even a saint tremble.
"There's still one step left, why hasn't it been successful yet?"
The old man controlled a red holy flame and was refining a furnace of elixirs. At this time, it was the most critical moment.
He vaguely noticed that the elixir was about to take shape, and he was done. A wisp of elixir energy had already been released before, and it was estimated that the sea of netherworld outside was shaken.
But for some reason, the elixir energy was only generated for a moment, and then it sank again. The elixir that had already taken shape was retreating instead of advancing, and was falling apart.
He was undoubtedly a little impatient, his mood was unstable, and he didn't know what was wrong.
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded without warning, making the old man suddenly startled.
"who?"
He immediately became vigilant and his consciousness swept away.
However, he saw that in this closed space where he was supposed to be alone, a young man appeared at some point.
The young man stood there unabashedly, less than ten feet away from him, staring at him while he was making elixirs. He didn't know how long he had been here.
How can this be?
When he was refining alchemy, he deliberately closed the surrounding space, but he couldn't sense someone intruding?
Moreover, this young man may not have just broken in; he may have been watching there for a long time.
There was someone within ten feet, and he couldn't find it?
Could it be that I was too devoted to alchemy and neglected it?
"Who are you?"
The old man calmed down a little and stared at Xiao Chen.
But the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.
Because no matter how you look at it, Xiao Chen is not too old. To him, he is just a junior among juniors.
How could he not notice the approach of a junior?
"I'm just a passerby. The aura you released when you were refining the elixir just stirred up the entire sea of netherworld, and all my companions were washed away!" Xiao Chen said with an innocent face.
"If that's the case, I apologize!" The old man expressed his apology without any pretense.
"That's all, it's just a coincidence!" Xiao Chen said, "But you are hiding in the sea and refining elixirs, but you have found a unique way?"
"My little friend also knows the way of alchemy?" The old man's eyes flashed.
"If you didn't understand, you wouldn't have come here to watch it!" Xiao Chen praised, "Your alchemy skills are the best I have ever seen. No one can surpass you!"
These words are by no means flattery.
The old man's alchemy skills are so powerful that they are rarely seen in the world. Even Xiao Chen needs to study it carefully.
The four great alchemy kings of the Eastern God Realm are undoubtedly at the level of younger brothers in front of this old man.
Xiao Chen originally wanted to praise the old man, but the old man felt awkward hearing it.
Xiao Chen's praise was not like a junior's honorific to a senior. Instead, it seemed as if he had become a junior and Xiao Chen was giving him guidance.
"The first person you have ever met, does that mean you are not included?" The old man smiled meaningfully, "It seems that my little friend is very confident in his alchemy attainments?"
"This...does it have to be interpreted this way?" Xiao Chen was helpless.
"Since we are members of the same Taoism, why not discuss it in terms of alchemy?" The old man said with a smile, "Why do you think my batch of elixirs failed?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said: "There are two reasons for the failure!".
The old man was startled: "I would like to hear your advice!"
"First, you are not proficient in using the Holy Flame and cannot control it 100%!" Xiao Chen said slowly, "Before I was on top, I could feel the flames scattered everywhere from a distance. If you can really control the Holy Flame,
Take control and this will never happen!"
"And you yourself know this, so you chose to refine elixirs in the Netherworld Sea. The Netherworld Sea is a very cold and cold place. It is incompatible with the attributes of the Holy Flame and can reduce the energy dissipation. Otherwise, if you change the place, the Holy Flame will only be afraid of it.
It will cause huge waves and burn everything in the surrounding area!"
"Hitting the nail on the head, you really have some tricks up your sleeve!"
The old man smiled, his impression of Xiao Chen greatly changed, and he looked at him with admiration.
In the process of elixir refining, flame control is a very critical link. Any slight error will cause the elixir to be damaged or fail to become an elixir!
When he failed to make an elixir, his first reaction was the problem of flame control.
But in the end, he felt that this was not the root cause.
"What about the second reason?"
The old man looked forward to Xiao Chen's answer.
He can realize the problem of flame control himself.
The main reason was beyond his imagination.
"Secondly, it should be your own fault!" Xiao Chen stared at the old man and said.
"My own fault?" the old man wondered.
"Well, you give me the feeling that you don't seem to be adapted to this world!" Xiao Chen said lightly, "Refining ordinary elixirs may be successful according to the regular regulations. But refining holy elixirs requires communicating with the rules of the world.
The origin of heaven and earth is nourished. Your existence seems to be incompatible with this world, and you cannot use the rules of heaven and earth and the origin of heaven and earth!" (To be continued)
