Chapter 48: Preparing to Devour
Chapter 48: Preparing to Devour
With the Heavenly Flame right in front of him, Xiao Ming was a bit dumbfounded.
Although he knew where many Heavenly Flames existed and knew their characteristics like the back of his hand, this was the first time he had seen a real one.
Needless to say, the attraction of a Heavenly Fire to an alchemist far surpassed that of a beautiful woman undressing and flirting in front of him.
Xiao Ming reached out his right hand to grab the flame on the Blood Shadow's chest, but suddenly withdrew it.
'Picking up the Heavenly Flame is not easy, it will burn everything nearby into nothingness, including energy, except for some special things, then you can only use a constant source of energy to forcibly wrap it up and take it away, this Blood Shadow is not burning, I guess it has something to do with them being formed together in the grand formation'
'If I were to take it away, I would have to use my own Dou Qi energy to wrap it up and take it away, but that would be too much energy expenditure, with my current self, I'm afraid that even if I circulated all my Dou Qi, I wouldn't be able to move it too far, I wouldn't even be able to leave the secret realm.'
'Besides, I'm not able to hide the Heavenly Flame's aura, there are many powerful people outside, besides those Dou Kings and Dou Emperors, there are also many Dou Spirit and Dou Grandmasters, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the Heavenly Flame if I go out directly.'
'How about I devour it here directly?'
Xiao Ming's idea was very far-fetched, but he was also forced to do so.
After all, it was too difficult to take this Heavenly Flame away quietly and then find a safe place to refine it.
But it was impossible for him to give up.
The reason he had risked coming here was because of the abnormality caused by this Heavenly Flame.
If he really looked at it now and gave it up, it would look like he was playing the fool earlier.
After pondering the feasibility of this opportunity in silence for a while, Xiao Ming spoke with a ruthless heart.
"Isn't this just a small seedling of Heavenly Flame? Let's do it!"
Sitting down and determined, Xiao Ming did not rush to take out the Heavenly Flame.
Instead, he summoned another Beast Flame from his body and illuminated the surroundings.
Then, he took out a small transparent jade vial from his storage ring, and in the jade vial, a blood-colored pill the size of a dragon's eye lay quietly, and through the reflection of the surface of the vial, there were faint shadows protruding from the blood-colored pill, slightly agitated, and there seemed to be a liquid wavering in it.
This round blood-colored pill was one of the essential elements for devouring the Heavenly Flame: Blood Lotus Pill!
After taking out the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Ming took out another small jade bottle from his storage ring.
Although he couldn't see the details of the jade bottle, a strong vitality was emanating from it.
'Sixth Tier Pill, Vitality Pill.' Xiao Ming looked at this jade bottle and said softly.
A look of doubt then appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared, only to see him take out another jade bottle from his storage ring, the same jade bottle that contained the Green Rock Mystic Water in the first place.
'Seventh tier pill, Life Returning Pill, with it, one can live as long as one does not have his head chopped off or his heart crushed, if I fail to devour the Heavenly Flame this time... even if I want to cry, I will have no tears.'
Looking at the three pill bottles in his hands, Xiao Ming said with a sigh. The Blood Lotus Pill was one of the pills needed to devour the Heavenly Flame, only with its help can he have a chance to take the next step.
The other two were the ones he was going to use to heal his wounds.
In case something went wrong, he would force the Heavenly Flame out of his body, and with the presence of these pills, he could save his life.
Although it was a bit disheartening to take them out, if he actually failed to devour it, the lowest probability of death would be 90%.
If he died, what good would these things be to Xiao Ming?
But if he could save his life with these things, it would be a great benefit.
Other than these things, Xiao Ming kept taking things out of his storage ring and putting them in front of him.
Ice Spirit Blade, Ancient Cold Grass, Frost Spirit Branch, Cold Ice Spring....
All of them were some Yin and Cold attribute herbs and treasures, some of these herbs were obtained by Xiao Ming after entering the secret realm in the past two days.
Some of them were obtained from the lottery in the simulator, and some of them were collected in normal days.
Whether high or low grade, there were quite a few.
The reason for taking them out was because to devour the Heavenly Flame, something with the Cold Yin attribute was needed to protect the meridians, of which he knew the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was the most suitable, but he didn't have it.
There was only one Cold Spring that looked like it, but was actually a cold spring whose effects were far removed.
Therefore, he would have to use the Yin and Cold properties in these herbs to compensate for the lack of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
Of course, he did not intend to devour them himself, if he were to devour so many herbs by himself, even if the Rise of Twin Spirits had the function of devouring them, under the impact of the medicinal properties, Xiao Ming felt that he might be dead before he could put the Heavenly Flame in his mouth.
He intended to let the Spirit devour these herbs, the Spirit could eat anything anyway, there was no taboo, as long as the spirit can keep the pure cold properties in the medicinal materials.
This was easy for the spirit to do, and this was the reason why Xiao Ming dared to devour the Heavenly Flame even without the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to protect his meridians.
After arranging all the things.
First of all, he took the jade vial containing the Blood Lotus Pill, tilted it, and rolled a round pill the size of a dragon's eye, with a faint glow, in his right hand.
The first thing to do was to take a look at the actual pills.
Without hesitation, Xiao Ming closed his eyes and popped one into his mouth.
As soon as the Blood Lotus Pill entered his mouth, it turned into a slightly cold energy that quickly pierced the meridians of Xiao Ming's body, and finally, like a thin layer of blood, slowly penetrated the meridians and bones.
With the penetration of the thin layer of blood, Xiao Ming's body suddenly trembled violently, and traces of fresh blood continued to emerge from the capillaries, and in just the blink of an eye, Xiao Ming's body was covered with a layer of crimson blood, which looked extremely terrifying.
Soon after the blood appeared, it quickly condensed and finally formed a bloody layer, which not only enveloped Xiao Ming's hands and feet, but also his eyelids, which were completely enclosed in it.
The bloody layer was like a blood-colored waterproof armor, tightly protecting Xiao Ming within it.
Slowly extending his palm, which was wrapped in the bloody layer, Xiao Ming grabbed the chest of the blood-colored figure in front of him.
As Xiao Ming's palm came close, a hole slowly opened up in the blood shadow's chest, revealing the Ten Thousand Beast Flame inside.
Seeing this sight, Xiao Ming was stunned, and then he understood.
'It must be that Blood Shadow can't harm me due to a special procedure, and I took the initiative to approach to it, to prevent its own blood energy from causing me harm, it's avoiding me, is it that smart?'
Xiao Ming muttered, he didn't know if his guess was correct or not.
The Blood Lotus Pill had already been ingested and he didn't have much time to think.
Therefore, after a slight daze, Xiao Ming headed straight towards the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.
