Five Round Li Fire Method

Although Xiao Yan, this Venerable, is mostly for show, with his Mortal Realm completion-level Soul power, coupled with six Strange Flames, an Earth Rank High-Level Soul Skill at the Lesser Mastery stage, and a treasure like the Soul Token, Xiao Yan wouldn't dare to claim he could sweep through all Soul Bodies, but he certainly had some confidence when facing a half-crippled Dou Zun Soul Body.

Heavenly Flame Venerable stared at Xiao Yan, clad in his Soul Robe, for a long time without a word. The man before him, wearing black robes and having subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, was far too calm.

Just now, Heavenly Flame Venerable had intentionally allowed the Fallen Heart Flame to approach him. It was a show of strength, proving that although he was weak, he still possessed some power, and it also revealed the fact that he had once been a Dou Zun.

At the same time, he had lowered his stance, telling Xiao Yan that he was on the verge of death, wouldn't harm him, and didn't have the ability to do so.

All of this was aimed at negotiating terms with Xiao Yan, as he didn't want to die and didn't want to be trapped in this Magma World forever.

However, Xiao Yan was too composed. Whether it was summoning the Fallen Heart Flame or mentioning that he was a Dou Zun, Xiao Yan acted as if he had everything under control, leaving Heavenly Flame Venerable unable to figure out the depths of this Black Robed Man.

Of course, the Soul Robe was the unsung hero here. Protected by the Heaven Rank Protector's Soul Robe, Heavenly Flame Venerable naturally couldn't sense Xiao Yan's true strength.

Although Heavenly Flame Venerable was a Dou Zun Soul Body, his Soul power hadn't reached the Spirit Realm. He had only reached the Dou Zun level in cultivation, not as an Eighth-Grade Alchemist.

Seeing Heavenly Flame Venerable's silence, Xiao Yan raised his hand and said, "Since this is Heavenly Flame Venerable's territory, then I've disturbed you. I'll leave now."

Hearing Xiao Yan say he was leaving, even abandoning the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame, Heavenly Flame Venerable couldn't help but frown slightly.

Heavenly Flame Venerable quickly waved his hand, glanced at Xiao Yan, then pointed to the nascent, formless flame, and said faintly, "You don't want this Fallen Heart Flame?"

Hearing Heavenly Flame Venerable's words, Xiao Yan revealed a cunning smile under his hood, then laughed, "That's something Heavenly Flame Venerable discovered. I only came here because the Fallen Heart Flame led me."

Playing mind games with me? Xiao Yan certainly wouldn't leave so easily. He was actually doing business with Heavenly Flame Venerable.

Xiao Yan was negotiating, and so was Heavenly Flame Venerable. Both were testing each other's bottom line and trump cards.

Heavenly Flame Venerable needed Xiao Yan's help; he wanted Xiao Yan to take him away. But what price he had to pay for this was what Heavenly Flame Venerable had to negotiate.

And Xiao Yan was calculating, calculating how many Soul Points a Dou Zun Soul Body could bring him! However, Xiao Yan didn't necessarily have to take Heavenly Flame Venerable's Soul Body back to the Soul Palace to exchange for Soul Points. For Xiao Yan, the Soul Palace was just a place for him to exchange for benefits. As long as the other party offered a value higher than what the Soul Palace could provide, Xiao Yan wouldn't fight Heavenly Flame Venerable.

After all, it was risky. Even if the other party was just a Soul Body with incomplete Soul power, he was still a Dou Zun. Such an existence should not be underestimated.

This Heavenly Flame Venerable's Soul power doesn't feel very strong. It feels similar to Yao Ao's Soul Body, probably also Mortal Realm completion-level. But Yao Ao is from the Medicine Clan, so his value is naturally much higher.

This Dou Zun's Soul Body is probably worth only a few hundred thousand Soul Points.

Heavenly Flame Venerable probably never imagined that Xiao Yan was already thinking about how to sell him off! Seeing that Xiao Yan was unmoved, Heavenly Flame Venerable sighed inwardly, waved his hand, and the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame floated into his hand.

"Back then, when I found this place, I first discovered traces of the Fallen Heart Flame, and then spent several years before I was fortunate enough to subdue it. And the Fallen Heart Flame that I subdued is precisely the one in your body now."

Xiao Yan didn't interrupt, patiently listening to Heavenly Flame Venerable tell his story.

"Back then, relying on my abilities, I could go anywhere in the world. Therefore, after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame, I didn't leave. Instead, I curiously delved deeper into this Magma World." Heavenly Flame Venerable's tone was filled with sighs, seemingly regretting his recklessness back then.

"After delving deeper into the Magma World, I discovered another Strange Flame seed of the Fallen Heart Flame. This discovery made me quite happy, so I wanted to greedily take this Fallen Heart Flame Strange Flame seed as well. As a result, the two Strange Flames merged within my body, but not only did they fail to merge perfectly, they instead repelled each other like enemies. That battle of Strange Flames left me seriously injured, and at that moment, I was attacked." Heavenly Flame Venerable sighed softly, recounting the cause of his death.

"Was it those Flame Lizardmen?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked tentatively.

"It seems you've had contact with them as well." Hearing what Xiao Yan said, Heavenly Flame Venerable was somewhat surprised.

"It was alright, I avoided them." Xiao Yan laughed, not saying how he avoided them.

Hearing that Xiao Yan could actually avoid them, a strange glint flashed in Heavenly Flame Venerable's eyes.

With an unperturbed expression, he said, "Those Flame Lizardmen seem to be the original inhabitants here, and their numbers are extremely large. Moreover, there are quite a few super experts among them who are comparable to Dou Zuns. That time, I encountered a Lizard Clan expert at the Dou Zun level."

"Dou Zun!!" Xiao Yan's heart trembled. A Dou Zun Magical Beast was equivalent to an Eighth-Order Magical Beast! That was even more powerful than Medusa in her complete form! "This Dean is really unreliable, building an academy here!" Xiao Yan was already complaining inwardly about the Dean who was rarely seen.

"Originally, if I were at my peak, I certainly wouldn't have feared it. But unfortunately, the two Strange Flames were fighting, which had already left me seriously injured. As for the outcome, you can guess. After that battle, I suffered fatal injuries. Fortunately, those Lizard Clan experts didn't understand the power of space, so they were never able to find my hiding place." Heavenly Flame Venerable's eyes flashed with a hint of shock, as if that battle back then had left a deep impression on him.

"But in the end, I was too seriously injured to leave this place, and my physical body gradually collapsed. In those final moments, I released the mature Fallen Heart Flame that I had subdued, and my Soul attached itself to that Strange Flame seed, wanting to preserve itself. But after so many years, my Soul is gradually becoming unable to hold on. If no one enters this place again within two years, perhaps my Soul will completely dissipate."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan sneered inwardly, thinking, As expected, the reason why this Heavenly Flame Venerable released the Fallen Heart Flame back then was to have the next person who subdued the Fallen Heart Flame sneak into this Magma World, find this place, and then take him away from here.

As long as the person who subdued the Fallen Heart Flame knew that there were treasures beneath the Magma World, they would definitely try every means to sneak into the Magma World, thus finding an opportunity to leave this place.

The Fallen Heart Flame was bait!

After listening, Xiao Yan still maintained a calm demeanor, holding the Fallen Heart Flame snake in his left hand, as if teasing a pet snake, and gently stroking it with his right hand, showing no interest in Heavenly Flame Venerable's past.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was unmoved, Heavenly Flame Venerable understood that this Black Robed Man was an old fox who wouldn't act without seeing the prize.

"Alas, although I don't know who you are, since you have the ability to sneak under the magma to this place, then you naturally have the ability to leave. I want to ask you to do me a favor. Don't worry, besides this juvenile Fallen Heart Flame, I will give you sufficient compensation." Heavenly Flame Venerable sighed. Helpless, he had to release the rabbit.

The corners of his mouth rose. Hearing that there was a rabbit, Xiao Yan stopped his movements, slowly looked at Heavenly Flame Venerable, and said faintly, "Please speak."

"I want you to take me away from here and help me find medicinal pills to repair my Soul. With my current Soul Body, I'm afraid I won't last two years before my Soul dissipates," Heavenly Flame Venerable said dispiritedly.

Hearing Heavenly Flame Venerable's words, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. No wonder they say that Dou Zun is the watershed; such an old monster has been dead for who knows how many years, and his Soul Body has consumed a lot of power, but he still has a chance to be resurrected and reborn.

And Xiao Yan really has the ability to restore Heavenly Flame Venerable's Soul power. He even has a secret method that can use three Strange Flames to condense a body, allowing the Soul Body to perfectly merge into the body and be reborn by borrowing a shell.

"Hehe, don't worry, as long as you can help this old man repair my Soul, I swear on my Soul that I will never be detrimental to you in the future." Seeing Xiao Yan's contemplation, Heavenly Flame Venerable couldn't help but smile and said slowly. Then, with a wave of his hand, a snow-white Storage Ring floated up from the side of the white bones and fell into his hand. With a flick of his finger, a light white Scroll appeared in front of him. On the Scroll were painted some flying birds and beasts with flames all over their bodies.

"This is this old man's famous Dou Technique back then, the Five Round Li Fire Method." Heavenly Flame Venerable threw the Scroll towards Xiao Yan and said, "As long as you can help this old man, then this thing will be yours. This old man can also pass on all that I have learned in my life to you. If you doubt this old man's sincerity, you can take the Scroll first, and after you find that there are no problems, it won't be too late to help me repair my Soul."

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before cautiously unfolding it. Immediately, a stream of Soul information was received by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan silently recited in his heart: "Five Round Li Fire Method, Earth Rank High-Level. The method is divided into five levels, distinguished by beast form: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon. Each level has its own Fire Spirit. When the method is mastered, the five beasts gather, forming the Five Round Li Fire Formation, with the great power to evaporate the sea and burn the sky."

His gaze slowly swept over this row of somewhat simple introductions, and then Xiao Yan's gaze paused on the last row of small characters.

"If three of the five beasts are condensed from Strange Flames, then its power is invincible among Earth Rank Dou Techniques. If four are condensed from Strange Flames, then it is comparable to Heaven Rank Dou Techniques. If all Fire Spirits are condensed from Strange Flames, its power is equal to Heaven Rank Low-Level Dou Techniques."

"Hmm?!! Equal to Heaven Rank Low-Level??!!"

Staring intently, Xiao Yan took a deep breath in his heart. Although there are also several Heaven Rank Low-Level Dou Techniques in the mysterious Storage Ring, these Heaven Rank Dou Techniques either require specific Cultivation Methods to be cultivated, or the Dou Qi attributes are not right. There is not a single one suitable for Xiao Yan to cultivate.

And the highest-level Dou Technique that Xiao Yan has come into contact with, apart from the no-rank method Break the Azure Sky given by his ancestor Xiao Xuan, is probably the Earth Rank High-Level Emperor Seal Technique given to him by Xun Er.

After his mind trembled for a while, it gradually returned to calm. Xiao Yan pursed his lips slightly and asked, "Heavenly Flame Venerable, if this method is to exert its maximum power, it requires five kinds of Strange Flames? How can a person possibly possess so many Strange Flames?"

Xiao Yan discovered the problem with this method at a glance. Apart from him, because he cultivated the Burning Technique, how could anyone possess five kinds of Strange Flames at the same time? Could it be that the person who created this method also possessed five kinds of Strange Flames? As if knowing that Xiao Yan would ask this, Heavenly Flame Venerable smiled slightly and said, "You misunderstood. The Five Round Li Fire Method means that the Fire Spirit needs to be condensed from Strange Flames, not that it requires different Strange Flames."

"This old man subdued the Fallen Heart Flame back then, and the first four Fire Spirits were all condensed from the Fallen Heart Flame. The difficulty of this Five Round Li Fire Method, apart from condensing perfect Fire Spirits, is learning to divide the Strange Flame into two, and two into four. This old man took the risk of absorbing the second Fallen Heart Flame back then because the Fallen Heart Flame could not split the fifth Fire Spirit, leading to the current situation."

Xiao Yan suddenly understood. He was just saying, where would a normal person get five kinds of Strange Flames? Not to mention five kinds, even two kinds are difficult.

Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice, "Then what if a person has five kinds of Strange Flames?"

As if hearing something very funny, Heavenly Flame Venerable shook his head with a smile and said, "Generally speaking, people use the Fire Seeds of five kinds of Beast Flames to replace Strange Flames. If a person can obtain five kinds of Strange Flames at the same time, then for the Five Round Li Fire Method, he only needs to learn how to condense the Fire Spirit. If he cultivates the Five Round Li Fire Method to the entry level, he can exert its full power."

Xiao Yan finally understood. The entry level of the Five Round Li Fire Method is learning to condense five kinds of Fire Seeds into different Fire Spirits. Lesser Mastery is to reduce the Fire Seeds, and cultivating to perfection means that one kind of Fire Seed can be used as five kinds.

That is to say, as long as there is one kind of Strange Flame and the method is cultivated to perfection, then the power of this method is equivalent to a Heaven Rank Dou Technique. Without Strange Flames, it is Earth Rank High-Level.

It's somewhat similar to the Emperor Seal Technique. The Emperor Seal Technique also has Heaven Rank power when the five seals are multiplied.

"Then this is indeed a very profound method, able to use one Fire Seed as five," Xiao Yan murmured inwardly.

"You must never learn from my greed and want to subdue multiple Strange Flames. Even if they are the same kind, Strange Flames will conflict and explode. Moreover, how can a person possibly possess five kinds of Strange Flames? Even a Dou Sheng cannot possess five kinds of Strange Flames at the same time." Heavenly Flame Venerable waved his hand, advising Xiao Yan not to be too ambitious and to cultivate steadily.

Xiao Yan just smiled slightly at Heavenly Flame Venerable, without saying a word.

I'll just smile and not say anything.

After re-rolling the Scroll, Xiao Yan pondered, not immediately giving Heavenly Flame Venerable an answer. He could feel that there was a seal on this Scroll. Without Heavenly Flame Venerable's unsealing, he would not be able to cultivate even with the Scroll.

There is no doubt that the value of this Five Round Li Fire Method has exceeded 150,000 Soul Points, and Heavenly Flame Venerable has already cultivated the Five Round Li Fire Method to Lesser Mastery. With him teaching by his side, Xiao Yan's cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort.

Moreover, Xiao Yan possesses five complete Strange Flames. This Five Round Li Fire Method is simply perfectly suited for him. He only needs to reach the entry level to exert Heaven Rank power, without needing to cultivate to perfection.

But Heavenly Flame Venerable has a second condition, which is to help him refine medicinal pills to repair his Soul.

This is a Dou Zun's Soul! Repairing a Dou Zun's Soul requires at least a Seventh-Rank medicinal pill, or even an Eighth-Rank one. That would be a loss.
