Chapter 118: Fourfold Fire Formation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this very moment, there was nothing more in the world that he hated more than rumors. It was clearly nothing but his refining of the Cold Magnet that brought all of this trouble.

Li Ming smiled bitterly. Before he entered the intermediate stage of the golden core realm, it should be impossible for him to refine this fourth-grade black lotus seed.

Even with the Three-Revolutions Fire Formation, he would not be able to refine fourth-grade black lotus seed. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the black lotus seed within the stalagmite fire, but soon, disappointment appeared on his face.

Under the embrace of the stalagmite fire, the black lotus seed did not budge at all.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ming’s two fingers moved like flowing water, leaving afterimages in the air.

For the first time, the red-robed man revealed a shocked expression. As the saying goes, outsiders could see the entire picture. Although this set of finger techniques was not a profound move, it was superb and brought out the extremes of “Phantom Fingers.”

Phantom Fingers was displayed when a person’s hands would leave afterimages in the air as they moved incredibly quickly. Because of the overlap of the afterimages, there would be phantoms left in the air.

Li Ming’s fingers did not stop. Before the afterimages of his fingers completely disappeared, new finger techniques appeared. In the end, his fingers became a series of continuous finger techniques.

Before reaching the late stage of the golden core realm, finger techniques were a very useful cultivation technique. Everyone knew it, but there were also differences in strength. Other than those who cultivate their bodies, there was not much difference in strength, flexibility, or strength.

In other words, in terms of spiritual energy, early-stage golden core cultivators were of a level higher than foundation establishment cultivators, but in terms of finger techniques, there was not much difference.

Without a specific cultivation technique, one had to cultivate continuously if they wanted to improve their finger techniques.

This expressionless young man’s cultivation was average, but his finger techniques were amazing.

The other two were also stunned. They looked at each other and saw joy in each other’s eyes. The set of finger techniques before them filled them with confidence in Li Ming.

At this moment, Li Ming’s mind was clear and he was abnormally focused. His gaze was fixed on the milky-white stalagmite fire and the black lotus seed within it.

As his fingers moved faster and faster, the dancing flame seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. A white flame shot out from the flame.

The stalagmite fire was a ball of thread, and the thread of fire was a thread that had been found. The white thread was still extending outwards.

The white flame grew longer and longer. One end of the flame was still connected to the stalagmite fire. The flame circled around the black lotus seed.

The stalagmite fire shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the last bit of flame disappeared, the black lotus seed was revealed.

Streaks of white flames like agile white snakes revolved around the black lotus seed.

Li Ming’s movements suddenly changed. His hands were originally as fast as lightning, but now it was as if they were carrying an immense weight.

The white flame split into two from the middle and turned into two flames. Now, it was as if there were two small white snakes that circled around the black lotus seed. Then, their speed suddenly doubled.

Strangely, the two flames did not collide.

“Onefold Fire Formation!”

The black lotus seed was as steady as a mountain, not moving at all.

Li Ming’s expression did not change. His fingers kept changing.

Two became four! The four thinner lines of fire formed an even thinner ring of fire in the shape of a cross.

“Twofold Fire Formation!”

The black lotus seed quivered slightly, producing a crisp sound.

Li Ming stared at the black lotus seed in the center of the fire formation. He was not surprised.

His movements became slower and slower, but the spiritual energy in his body circulated faster and faster.

The eight threads of flame wrapped around the black lotus seed tightly like a cage of white flame.

“Threefold Fire Formation!”

Compared to before, Li Ming’s control of the Threefold Fire Formation was much better. Ever since he received the guidance of the stone tablet,

Li Ming began to consciously train his control over spiritual energy. In addition, he had a lot of time to temper it every day, so his progress was rapid. The Threefold Fire Formation which was extremely difficult previously had now become easy to perform.

The black lotus seed trembled violently in the middle of the fire formation as if it would break free from the fire array at any moment!

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the white flame cage in the sky. They knew that this was the most critical moment.

In the center of the fire formation, the cold air was threatening, eight times colder than the stalagmite fire! Cold fire was cold, while hot fire was scorching.

“Fuse!”

The fusion rate of cold fire would increase as the temperature decreased, while the fusion rate of hot fire would increase as the temperature increased.

The Threefold Fire Formation increased the cold energy of the stalagmite fire by eight times, and also increased its fusion ability by eight times!

The eight-times fusion caused the originally motionless black lotus seed to undergo a slight change. Faint dents appeared on the surface, a sign that it was about to be smelted.

However, if it was just a fusion, he did not know how long it would take him to refine this black lotus seed.

Under the influence of the demonic core, Li Ming’s divine sense was abnormally coordinated. Moreover, no one noticed that his body was now softer than ever before. The easier it was, the more the demonic pattern could be used to its greatest effect, and it could also absorb spiritual energy faster.

Li Ming’s precise control of his spiritual energy had shown astonishing results in the past few days. The spiritual energy consumption of the Threefold Fire Formation was only about half of his. He could feel the spiritual energy emitted from the Spirit Replenishing Formation.

Li Ming was slightly relieved. He had not used the Spirit Replenishing

Formation when he was refining it. But now, everything seemed to be fine.

The spiritual energy in the spirit stones had some impurities, but this was not a problem for Li Ming. The demonic pattern automatically filtered them out.

The spiritual energy in the Spirit Replenishing Array continuously surged into Li Ming’s body.

He closed his eyes and did not move. He maintained the operation of the

Threefold Fire Formation and waited for the replenishment of spiritual energy. After this period of continuous experimentation, the consumption of his spiritual energy by the Fourfold Fire Formation had already reached a very terrifying level.

When the spiritual energy in his body recovered, Li Ming suddenly opened his His fingers moved like he was dragging a heavy stone! His skinny arm was shaking with difficulty, but his fingers were moving very steadily.

Everyone’s eyes were white!

The cage of flames became smaller and smaller turning into what looked like a white cocoon! The 16 flame threads spun around the black lotus seed at a speed so fast that no one could see them clearly.

“Fourfold Fire Formation!”

Li Ming’s spiritual energy was being consumed at an alarming rate. He had only barely completed the Fourfold Fire Formation, and there was not much spiritual energy left in him.

He did not care about anything else and crazily absorbed the spiritual energy from the Spirit Replenishing Formation. A huge amount of spiritual energy surged towards him. He was like a thirsty traveler in the desert, crazily absorbing all the water he could..
