Chapter 322: Chapter 207: Seeking Advice_2

Uncle Ma didn’t answer, instead extending a finger with a small flame appearing on it.

Seeing the flame on Uncle Ma’s finger, Li Shiming immediately thought of the small flame in his Spirit Lake.

“This is my Spiritual Fire, known as the Earth Flame Spirit Fire, extracted from deep beneath the earth’s surface. The first time I saw you, I sensed the aura of Spiritual Fire on you, which is why I left you the legacy of alchemy, hoping you could become an Alchemist and not waste this opportunity from the Spiritual Fire!” Uncle Ma explained with a smile.

Li Shiming finally understood why Uncle Ma had looked upon him so favorably, it turned out the small flame he had acquired was a Spiritual Fire.

However, he didn’t know the name of his Spiritual Fire or what it was used for.

“Uncle, I was about to ask, I obtained this Spiritual Fire by accident in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, but I do not know its name or its use?” Li Shiming’s thoughts stirred, the small flame from his Spirit Lake appeared on his finger as he spoke.

...

“Before you form a Golden Core, don’t take your Spiritual Fire out in public; its value is beyond your imagination!” Uncle Ma cautioned after observing it with his eyes instead of using Divine Thought.

“Yes, Uncle!” Li Shiming retracted the Spiritual Fire back into his Spirit Lake, looking at Uncle Ma with eager anticipation, hoping to get an answer from him.

“Did you perhaps obtain this Spiritual Fire from the lair of a giant bear?” Uncle Ma pondered for a moment before asking.

“That is indeed the case, the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover was within that giant bear’s lair, and I found this Spiritual Fire when I was retrieving the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover for Master!” Li Shiming answered without any hesitation.

If Uncle Ma really had any ill intentions, he wouldn’t have spoken so much to him. Taking his Spiritual Fire or even his life would have been effortless.

Although the emotions of Golden Core cultivators are hard to detect, by observing Uncle Ma’s facial expressions, IBMz15 concluded that Uncle Ma had no malice.

“Indeed, Xiao Su said you were very fortunate, and it’s true. I didn’t expect you to dare seek the Spiritual Medicine guarded by a Red Sun Bear all on your own!” Uncle Ma nodded slightly and smiled.

His impression of Li Shiming improved once more; he also knew how powerful the spirit beast guarding the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover was, and that Li Shiming had risked a great danger for the sake of a promise.

Who wouldn’t like to be associated with such a cultivator? More importantly, Li Shiming also had great fortune.

At least Elder Su certainly believed so, attributing his own recovery from his injuries and the acquisition of the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover to sharing in Li Shiming’s good fortune.

“Among the Red Sun Bear Clan, there’s a small chance that a Red Sun Bear with a native-born Spiritual Fire will appear; such bears are key protected members of their clan and are difficult for cultivators to come into contact with.

The combat strength of the Red Sun Bear Clan is extremely formidable, with the strongest among them being equivalent to a late-stage third-order Great Demon, and sometimes even a fourth order might appear.

“Many thanks, Uncle Ma!” Li Shiming expressed his gratitude once more. He had thanked Uncle Ma many times that day, but each and every time it was with sincere thanks.

“With you possessing a Spiritual Fire, I also look forward to having another Alchemy Master in the sect to share my workload!” Uncle Ma said with a chuckle, then he continued, “However, your Spiritual Fire is currently still weak. Today, you will use spirit carbon to concoct a batch of ‘Mingxin Nine Palace Pills’; consider it an alchemical assessment by the sect!”

Although the bottle of ‘Mingxin Nine Palace Pills’ could prove Li Shiming’s alchemy level, Uncle Ma still wanted to witness Li Shiming performing alchemy with his own eyes before he could fully trust him.

It was really because the ‘Mingxin Nine Palace Pills’ that Li Shiming produced were all of high quality. Such a performance was too exceptional, making Uncle Ma somewhat hesitant to believe it.

Had it been any other Pill Master, Uncle Ma would not have asked him to concoct pills in front of him due to the secrets involved in each Alchemist’s lineage.

But Li Shiming was different; everything he had learned was transmitted by Uncle Ma himself, hence the unusual request.

“Yes, Uncle Ma!” Li Shiming bowed and accepted the task.

Of course, he couldn’t use the magic tool pill furnace; not only would Uncle Ma not allow it, but even if he did, Li Shiming’s Spiritual Power Pattern wouldn’t be sufficient to satisfy the needs of the magic tool pill furnace.

For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the grade of a magic tool is simply too high and is not something that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can control.

He took out his top-grade magic tool pill furnace and several pieces of spirit carbon.

Then he began the process of concocting Elixir Pills in front of Uncle Ma, from heating the furnace to adding Spiritual Medicine, to controlling the fire; each step was conducted under the perception of Uncle Ma’s Divine Thought.

Uncle Ma was amazed to find that every step of Li Shiming’s alchemy process was utterly precise; the temperature control, the fusion of Spiritual Medicine, were all as good as if he were doing it himself.

The problem was that Li Shiming had only been studying for a short while and already achieved such a level.

Alchemy is by no means an easy task, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Cultivators struggling to get into it.

Even the same type of Spiritual Medicine, because of rainfall, the fertility of the spirit soil, the amount of sunlight, and even the timing of the harvest, can cause individual differences in the medicine.

Such differences can result in extremely subtle variations in the medicinal properties; during alchemy, a slight variation can trigger changes in the spirituality of the Elixir Pills within the furnace, resulting in pills that are either of poor quality or of high quality.
