214: Chapter 214 The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire! The Fire Cloud Ancestor Appears

"Does this young lady know?" Xiao Ting looked at Tang Huo'er with slight surprise.

Tang Zhen also asked in confusion, "Huo'er, what do you know?"

"I don't know anything." Tang Huo'er immediately shook her head, a smug smile on her face. "I was just guessing. I remember that our Burning Flame Valley's secret technique, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, was created by someone named Xiao Xuan and given to our Burning Flame Valley Ancestor, right?"

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Ting, both have the surname Xiao, and Big Brother Xiao Ting also said he has a connection with the Burning Flame Valley. It's not hard to guess, is it?"

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of Tang Zhen and Tang Xin.

Was this really their Burning Flame Valley Young Valley Master?

Although she was usually clever, she didn't have this kind of keen insight.

"Correct." Xiao Ting confirmed Tang Huo'er's guess, and also confirmed that this woman had a journal copy. He chuckled, "I, Xiao, have come here precisely for the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations."

"Xiao Xuan is indeed my clan's ancestor. He was good friends with the Burning Flame Valley's founder, Ancestor Fen Yan. After my ancestor created the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, he gave it to Ancestor Fen Yan, who had refined the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."

"My Xiao Family later encountered a great upheaval, and many inheritances were severed. Only recently, as my strength improved and I came into contact with many ancient affairs, did I learn of this connection. Since the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations has a special function and significance for people of my Xiao Family, I have come to the Burning Flame Valley to request it."

Hearing this, Tang Zhen frowned slightly, contemplating the authenticity of Xiao Ting's words.

Although Xiao Ting possessed great strength, it was not impossible that he was here to swindle them out of their Burning Flame Valley's secret technique.

However, Xiao Ting's story was very detailed, and given his young age and such strength, he was actually inclined to believe him.

"I believe what you said." Tang Huo'er walked in front of Xiao Ting and examined him with her large eyes.

He was indeed a handsome man who completely fit the aesthetic standards of a normal woman.

It was no wonder that Big Sister Huo Zhi, Xun'er, and the others had all fallen for him.

"Huo'er!" Tang Zhen frowned slightly, feeling that Tang Huo'er was being too rash.

But Tang Huo'er ignored him and continued, "However, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was given to our Burning Flame Valley Ancestor by Senior Xiao Xuan, so it belongs to our Burning Flame Valley."

"Perhaps the Xiao Family you come from was once the creator of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, but it is also a fact that it has been lost."

"You can't just open your mouth and ask for our Burning Flame Valley's secret technique just because of a relationship from a thousand years ago, right?"

These words were reasonable, and Tang Zhen, Tang Xin, and the others looked at Tang Huo'er with newfound admiration.

Could it be that she only revealed her intelligent side when facing a true prodigy!?

"Miss Huo'er is absolutely right. I also do not intend to ask for it empty-handed." Xiao Ting kept a faint smile on his face and said, "The reason I mentioned this connection is because the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is a secret technique of the Burning Flame Valley. I assume that under normal circumstances, you, Valley Master Tang, would not trade it away."

"But after knowing the connection between my Xiao Family and the Burning Flame Valley, as well as the origin of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, I would like to know if you, Valley Master Tang, would be willing to trade if my sincerity is sufficient?"

"That is only natural." Tang Zhen nodded immediately.

In fact, as long as Xiao Ting provided enough sincerity, he would have agreed even without knowing the connection between the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and the Xiao Family.

It wasn't that this secret technique wasn't valuable, but rather that it was too difficult to cultivate; the three transformations required three types of flames to complement them.

Although three types of Beast Fire could bring about a certain improvement, it was very limited.

To truly unleash the power of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, it was best to use three types of Heavenly Flames.

But even for the Alchemists of the Pill Tower, one had to exhaust all their luck just to find one Heavenly Flame. Who could find three Heavenly Flames to cultivate this secret technique?

Even if we take a step back, if one could really find three Heavenly Flames, without sufficient strength, one would be unable to make them coexist peacefully, and then the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations would be unusable.

A powerful existence capable of making three Heavenly Flames coexist peacefully would likely look down on the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations.

Therefore, although this secret technique was said to be a secret of the Burning Flame Valley, it was actually not that precious.

Of course, it couldn't be considered useless, because the area around the Burning Flame Valley was rich in Earth Fire. Combined with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, the superposition of the three types of flames allowed even someone like Tang Zhen, a five-star Peak Dou Zun, to temporarily skyrocket his strength to a seven-star Dou Zun.

"This is my sincerity."

Xiao Ting took out a bottle of pills and tossed it in front of Tang Zhen.

"This is..." Tang Zhen opened the bottle stopper, took a sniff, and his eyes widened immediately.

"This is a two-color Pill Lightning Eighth Grade Pill, the Heavenly Spirit Fire Bodhi Pill." Xiao Ting introduced confidently, "I heard that Miss Tang Huo'er suffered severe injuries due to forcibly fusing with the young fire of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, and required a seventh-grade high-tier pill, the Fire Bodhi Pill."

"Using the Heavenly Spirit Fire Bodhi Pill will not only recover her injuries but also increase her strength, mend the source damaged by the Heavenly Flame, enhance her soul talent, and nourish the Heavenly Flame."

"If she possesses lightning attribute plus a trace of fire attribute Dou Qi, after mastering the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, because wood generates lightning, there is a certain chance she could become an Alchemist."

Tang Huo'er, like Xiao Ting, possessed both lightning and fire attribute Dou Qi. This was also the reason why Tang Zhen allowed Tang Huo'er to refine the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame after discovering it had split into a young flame; it was indeed a perfect match.

And the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame could be said to be an invincible weakened version of the Purple Heaven Flame, but it was still a lightning-fire flame.

The principle of wood generating lightning could also be effective with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

The prerequisite was that Tang Huo'er's soul power had to be strong enough.

But even if Tang Huo'er became an Alchemist, unlike Xiao Ting, she was destined to get half the result with twice the effort.

But if she had a Plane Blessing, that would be a different story!

"Hiss!"

Tang Zhen was shocked again.

Relying on the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, plus his powerful strength, he could also refine some pills, but the grade was not high.

He hadn't expected that Tang Huo'er could go further on this path.

"Mr. Xiao Ting, are you a Grade 8 Alchemist?" Tang Zhen's tone and attitude changed instantly.

The Burning Flame Valley was located in the southwest of the Central Plains, so receiving news from the Northwest Continent was neither fast nor comprehensive.

He knew that Xiao Ting was a stunningly talented one-star Dou Zun under the age of twenty—though now that had to be corrected to a seventeen-year-old eight-star Dou Zun. Words like monster or prodigy were not enough to describe him; he was more like a reincarnation of a Dou Di.

But he hadn't expected that Xiao Ting was actually an Alchemist, and a Grade 8 one at that.

"Yes, I can currently refine five-color to seven-color Pill Lightning Alchemist pills, and I estimate that within a year, I will be able to refine nine-color Pill Lightning Eighth Grade Pills." Xiao Ting did not hide anything; the identity of an Alchemist was meant to be shown off.

"My soul realm has already reached the Heavenly Realm, and becoming a Grandmaster Alchemist in the future is only a matter of time."

"Given the connection between the Xiao Family and the Burning Flame Valley, as long as the Burning Flame Valley acknowledges me, Xiao, as a friend in the future, alchemy matters will be easy to discuss, and I can offer a friend's price."

Tang Zhen: !!!

Even though Xiao Ting said he would offer a friend's price, this was enough to make him roar with excitement.

A Grandmaster Alchemist was an existence that simply couldn't be hired without a personal favor.

Their Burning Flame Valley's Fire Cloud Old Ancestor had suffered severe injuries in his early years, which led to him staying at the bottom of the valley to recuperate and suppress his injuries. For many years, his cultivation had not progressed, and he was unable to fight, existing only as a deterrent weapon.

The Burning Flame Valley had quite a lot of accumulated resources and could fully afford to hire a Grandmaster Alchemist from the Little Pill Tower to refine pills.

But they simply wouldn't agree.

You have resources, but you can't get anything done!

"Swish!"

Inside the grand hall, a figure appeared abruptly.

"Kid, are these words true!?"
