Chapter 341: Life Fire

Jiang Yun had previous experiences with refining the Demon Transformation tribe’s talent twice, so he was very familiar and skilled at it.

After a moment, a red flower pattern appeared in the palm of his left hand and then slowly disappeared.

Immediately after, Jiang Yun closed and then reopened his palm, and a ball of flame surged out, transforming into a red flower in the air.

With the appearance of this fire flower, Jiang Yun could clearly feel that not only had his control over the flame improved, but the flame formed by spirit qi was distinctly different from spiritual fire.

The sensation was as if the flame was innate to him, as if it were a part of his body.

Even when the fire flower suddenly expanded, enveloping his entire palm.

His palm was no longer made up of flesh and blood vessels, but had transformed into – pure flames!

This is the effect of the Fire clan’s talent.

However, Jiang Yun has only just completed the initial refinement.

If he can fully refine it, he might even be able to turn his whole body into flames!

By then, whether battling others or making medicine, he could completely transform into flames, which made him feel a bit scared just thinking about it.

Of course, it made him marvel once again at the amazingness of the Demon Refining Seal, combining the strengths of both human and demon races!

If not for the risk of backlash from the talented Sea clan, Jiang Yun would really want to take some time to completely refine this Fire clan talent.

Fortunately, for now, he only needs to use this talent to sense the existence of the life fire, so this level is already enough.

Closing his eyes again, Jiang Yun didn’t take long to successfully find a tiny flame – the life fire, deep within his mind.

Though the flame is not large, it burns fiercely, releasing a strong life force.

Looking at his life fire, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but think of the Medicine God’s powerful life fire that could burn mountains and stars.

Comparing my own inner strength with his, it’s like comparing a firefly to the bright moon, there’s no comparison at all.

"I wonder if in my lifetime, my inner strength can grow to that level!"

Giving up his unrealistic fantasies, Jiang Yun made a wry smile, "Even though I see my inner strength, it might not be able to burn away the power left by the Medicine God!"

Truth be told, Jiang Yun didn’t really hold high hopes, and the result turned out just as he had expected.

Despite pushing himself to the limit to make his inner strength stronger, he could only reach a height of about half a foot, not even touching the edge of that power.

"The original inner strength is definitely not enough, to make it powerful, one must practice the technique of Life Fire Rebirth!"

Although he was now trapped in the protective formation of the Grand Medicine Sect, losing his freedom, he remained patient and saw this place as an excellent spot for solitary training.

In the following days, he began practicing the technique of Life Fire Rebirth.

After carefully studying the technique of Life Fire Rebirth, Jiang Yun greatly admired the Medicine God’s idea, but in his current situation, he couldn’t achieve the inner rebirth himself.

Because the method of Life Fire Rebirth is very simple, which is to devour and merge with other flames.

Every time it devours one, the power of life fire will increase.

However, Medicine God also emphasized that the flames devoured at the beginning must not have too high temperature and grade, because the initial life fire is extremely fragile.

If the temperature and grade of the devoured flames are too high, not only will they not merge, but there is a great chance that the life fire itself will be devoured in turn.

Once the life fire is extinguished, it means the end of life.

That would be truly playing with fire and self-destructing.

Therefore, even though Jiang Yun already has ready-made Li Fire inside him, he knows he absolutely cannot let the first flames devoured by the life fire be Li Fire, no matter how brave he is.

Without flames to devour, the life fire cannot be reborn, naturally unable to burn away the power left by Medicine God, and unable to retrieve the Refining Heaven Furnace.

This leaves Jiang Yun trapped in what seems to be an unsolvable cycle!

But at that moment, Bai Ze suddenly said, "You can try to swallow life fire!"

"Life fire?"

Jiang Yun was puzzled at first, but then realized that Bai Ze was suggesting he swallow the life fire from the Flameless Puppet Lantern.

The Flameless Puppet Lantern burns with life fire as its fuel.

Although Huo Duming had already ignited the Flameless Puppet Lantern several times, according to Bai Ze’s estimation, there should still be hundreds of life fires inside.

If he could swallow those life fires inside, it might indeed cause his own life fire to undergo a transformation!

However, after careful consideration, Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Firstly, I still can’t gain control of the Flameless Puppet Lantern."

"Secondly, swallowing life fire is like swallowing other lives, which I cannot do!"

Bai Ze chuckled, "Don’t worry about gaining control, I can help you with that!"

"Also, who told you that devouring life fire is the same as devouring life? You are overthinking!"

Jiang Yun asked in confusion, "But you said that life fire is the fire of life."

Bai Ze shouted, "That refers to when life fire exists inside a living being!"

"Once it leaves the body it belongs to, life fire becomes lifeless and without consciousness, just like the spirit energy in the world."

"Even if the life fire is not trapped in the Flameless Puppet Lantern, if it existed in the world, it would quickly dissipate without a trace."

Jiang Yun was still somewhat skeptical.

Bai Ze almost roared in frustration, "If you don’t believe me, I can help you enter the Flameless Puppet Lantern now so you can see for yourself!"

"Besides devouring life fire, you have no other way to take the Refining Heaven Furnace."

"Are you really content with being trapped in this broken formation forever?"

After thinking for a moment, unable to do anything else, Jiang Yun could only nod and say, "But even if the life fire still holds a hint of consciousness, I won’t devour it!"

"Don’t worry, you’ll see for yourself!"

So, Jiang Yun took out the Flameless Puppet Lantern, scanned it with his divine sense, and immediately furrowed his brows, saying, "Strange, the strand of Li Fire I placed inside last time, how come it’s gone?"

Jiang Yun clearly remembered that after learning about the Flameless Puppet Lantern’s function last time, he followed Bai Ze’s advice and put in a strand of Li Fire to slowly burn away the divine sense within.

But now the Li Fire had clearly disappeared, yet the divine sense still remained.

"The Li Fire is gone?"

Hearing Jiang Yun’s words, Bai Ze paused for a moment and then suddenly chuckled, "I get it!"

"Get what?"

"Hehe, if you’re unwilling to devour someone else’s life fire, how about if I offer you the chance to devour a strand of life fire from this Flameless Puppet Lantern’s original owner?"

Jiang Yun frowned and asked, "What do you mean, really?"

"The previous owner of this Flameless Puppet Lantern was not that little fire demon, but actually his father, the Demon Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave."

"The seemingly divine sense left in this lantern is actually his life fire because he is a fire demon."
