Chapter 1304 Yuan's Alchemy Flame

1304 Yuan's Alchemy Flame

The tiny ball of flame materialized by Yuan was a beautiful golden color, but it was so small that even the weakest wind could blow it out of existence. Fortunately, the alchemy flame was only half completed, so there was still more work to be done.

As Yuan continued to compress his spiritual energy and add it to the existing flame, the golden alchemy flame gradually grew larger and larger.

Over time, the alchemy flame expanded, growing to a size comparable to that of an apple.

Ding!

A familiar sound resounded inside Yuan's head, causing him to open his eyes.

[Nameless Alchemy Flame]

[Grade: Tier 1]

[Growth Rate: Very Fast]

[Effects: N/A]

[Description: Created by Player Yuan]

Yuan stopped compressing his spiritual energy after seeing that he'd successfully created his alchemy flames.

At a glance, his alchemy flame seemed ordinary, but Yuan noticed that his alchemy flame had a 'Growth Rate' that also existed in his Soul Weapons. This indicated that his alchemy flame would very likely grow stronger the more he used it.

However, even though he acquired his own alchemy flames, he did not have any techniques to control the flame, as that was a different thing entirely.

Yuan pondered for a moment before he recalled a certain technique that he'd learned near the beginning of his journey.

[Heavenly Fire Control]

[Rank: Mortal]

[Mastery Level: 1]

[Description: Consumes 10 Qi per second. Allows you to control and adjust the temperatures of regular fire with your spiritual energy.]

It was a technique he had purchased along with two other cooking skills, yet until today, he had never found an opportunity to put it into practice.

'But can I use a technique meant for controlling regular fire to control alchemy flames?' Yuan wondered as he read the description.

Since it wouldn't hurt to try, that was exactly what he did the following moment.

[Summon Alchemy Flames] [Heavenly Fire Control]

After summoning his alchemy flame, he attempted to control it using Heavenly Fire Control.

It seemed pointless at first when the alchemy flames refused to budge, but Yuan did not stop trying, as he was receiving more notifications.

<Your comprehension of Heavenly Fire Control has increased slightly>

<Your comprehension of Heavenly Fire Control has increased slightly>

Eventually, Yuan could move his alchemy flame using Heavenly Fire Control.

<Your comprehension of Heavenly Fire Control has increased significantly from successfully controlling alchemy flames>

<Heavenly Fire Control Mastery Level (1) → (2)>

Once his Mastery Level increased, Yuan found it possible to control his alchemy flame, but it was only barely enough to make it move left and right a few inches.

<Your comprehension of Heavenly Fire Control has increased significantly>

As Yuan continued using the technique, his comprehension grew rapidly, and his control over the alchemy flame got better and better.

<Your comprehension of Heavenly Fire Control has increased significantly>

<Heavenly Fire Control Mastery Level (2) → (3)>

<Your comprehension of Heavenly Fire Control has increased significantly>

<Heavenly Fire Control Mastery Level (3) → (4)>

<Your comprehension of Heavenly Fire Control has increased significantly>

Possibly due to Heavenly Fire Control being a Mortal-rank technique and Yuan using it on something as profound as alchemy flames, its Mastery Level surged dramatically.

<Heavenly Fire Control Mastery Level (9) → (MAX)>

Within minutes of using the technique, Yuan maxed out its Mastery Level, and his control over the alchemy flames reached the point where he could raise or lower its temperature and transform its shape at will.

"This should be good enough to concoct pills," Yuan muttered to himself before leaving the room and making his way back to the 35th floor.

Once he returned to the room, he approached the middle-aged woman, who was currently lecturing another individual.

"What do you want?" she looked at him after finishing her business with the other individual.

"I'd like to try concocting pills as well," he said.

The Alchemist proceeded to point at the ingredients by the wall and said, "Go help yourself."

"Thank you."

After receiving permission, Yuan went to grab some of the ingredients. Fortunately for him, who didn't know the proper ratio of ingredients, there were instructions available by the ingredients.

'Three pieces of Spirit Herb, a gram of Ginseng Powder, three grams of Spirit Dust, and a tablespoon of Echinacea Powder.'

After gathering all of the ingredients listed, Yuan went to an empty space in the room and summoned his cauldron.

He sat before it and closed his eyes to recall not the performance done by the middle-aged woman but what he saw from Wang Xiuying's performance.

Once he was satisfied, Yuan took a deep breath and summoned his alchemy flame, engulfing the bottom half of the cauldron in his golden flames.

When Yuan summoned his alchemy flame, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but divert their attention toward his distinctive golden flame. In contrast to the usual colors, Yuan's alchemy flame gleamed in bright gold, leading them to speculate that he possessed a named alchemy flame.

"Look at that! Such powerful flames! He must possess named alchemy flames!"

"What kind of alchemy flame is that? Does anyone know?"

"I only know of two other golden-colored named alchemy flames, but even they are not as beautiful and colorful as this!"

The commotion in the room caught the attention of the middle-aged woman, and upon spotting Yuan's flame, she abruptly halted her activities. Intrigued, she made her way toward him, eager to inspect his alchemy flame up close.

'What kind of alchemy flame is this? I have never seen such a bold color before…' she had a deep frown on her face as she pondered.
