Chapter 119: Success
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The sixteen-times fusion caused the tough surface of the black lotus seed to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Li Ming controlled his divine sense with all his might. The sixteen-times fusion meant that his use of spiritual energy had to be extremely precise. Any deviation would cause the entire fire formation to collapse under the sixteen-times amplification!
The three customers and Li Fengying were so nervous that they held their breaths. The shop was completely silent.
The Fourfold Fire Formation did not move at all, only the white flames continued slightly trembling. Every time it shook, the four of them held their breaths. They understood that Li Ming was still too exhausted to activate the Fourfold Fire Formation and was not that familiar with it.
However, none of them could care about that right now.
Other than nervousness, the four of them were also shocked! It was too shocking!
A foundation establishment cultivator was actually able to utilize the Fourfold Fire Formation. If people found out about this, it would definitely cause huge waves across the entire Dongfu and even the entire Sky Moon World! A Threefold Fire Formation was already extremely difficult for early-stage golden core cultivators, much less a Fourfold Fire Formation!
However, this ordinary-looking kid in front of them could actually activate the Fourfold Fire Formation!
They had only come here because they heard that somebody had managed to refine a fourth-grade Cold Magnet.
In fact, when they found out that Li Ming was only in the foundation establishment realm, they were very disappointed, but they still decided to give it a try.
One had to know that a fourth-grade black lotus seed was not so easily destroyed! When Li Ming had accepted the deal, they had guessed that he would have something up his sleeves, but they had never expected him to bring out a Fourfold Fire Formation!
The Fourfold Fire Formation was not a mysterious formation. It was actually a very common formation that many people knew.
However, even though they knew, there were very few who could pull it out.
The higher one’s cultivation, the stronger one’s control over spiritual energy.
There was only one explanation for such an increase, and that was the increase in realm! Take the Threefold Fire Formation, for example. Even though there would occasionally be early-stage golden core cultivators who could barely set it up, it was absolutely impossible for those cultivators to set up a Fourfold Fire Formation.
This was because the requirement that the Fourfold Fire Formation had on the cultivator’s spiritual energy and cultivation was more than twice that of a Threefold Fire Formation. Only when one reached the intermediate stage of the golden core realm could one achieve the requirements of the Fourfold Fire Formation.
However, right before their eyes was exactly what they had thought to be impossible.
Although the flames in the white light were still trembling slightly, there was no doubt that it was a Fourfold Fire Formation!
The three of them looked at Li Ming as if they were looking at a monster.
Li Ming did not know about any of this. He had no time to care about anything else. He was solely focused on the black lotus seed!
The holes on the black lotus seed grew bigger and bigger, deeper and deeper. Finally, the crystal lotus seed within could be seen.
Li Ming did not dare to relax in the slightest at this moment. He did not want to be bewitched by this crystal-clear lotus seed. It looked very beautiful, but in fact, it was a terrifying poison. Even a tiny bit would kill him, and even the gods would not be able to save him then.
He forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and tried his best to stabilize his spiritual energy. At this time, the slightest mistake would be disastrous. The three of them also took a step back. They looked at the crystal-clear lotus seed with fear in their eyes.
The ruthlessness of the black lotus seed was well-deserved!
The Spirit Replenishing Array formed by the five third-stage spirit stones provided Li Ming with a steady stream of spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy in his body was still being drained at an alarming rate. His recovery speed was obviously not able to keep up with his consumption.
There was not only one way to set up a Spirit Replenishing Array, but the Five Elements Spirit Replenishing Formation was the best he could set up at the moment.
When the violent spiritual qi poured into his body, he would feel the pain of his meridians being torn apart. The spiritual qi that had just entered his body was being consumed at an even faster rate, making him feel extremely weak.
Waves of intense tearing pain came again and again. Even with the support of the demonic pattern, Li Ming felt like he would soon go crazy.
However, he knew that he could not let himself go crazy. The slightest movement would cause the Fourfold Fire Formation to collapse.
At that time, he would lose control of this crystal-clear lotus seed. Its poison would cause everyone in the room to be unable to remain here for eternity. Clenching his teeth, a trace of blood quietly flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
Li Ming did not seem to notice it. His eyes widened in anger as he looked at the crystal lotus seed that was gradually revealing its true appearance!
The cocoon of light formed by the 16 threads of flame emitted extreme coldness and suppressed the poison. As the surface of the lotus seeds peeled off, the three customers became solemn, and their breathing became heavy.
Chi!
The five spirit stones in the Five Elements Spirit Replenishing Formation suddenly crumbled into five lumps of powder! Everyone’s expression changed. He failed?
Amidst the dust, Li Ming’s hoarse roar could be heard, “Argh!”
Just before the fire cocoon dissipated, a crystal lotus seed fell into a jade bottle in his left hand. Then, he blocked the mouth of the jade bottle with lightning speed.
The pink mist dispersed, revealing Li Ming’s miserable figure. His hair, face, and body were all covered in powder. The blood at the corner of his mouth was mixed with powder, and it was a shocking sight.
“Fortunately, I succeeded.”
Li Ming placed the jade bottle in front of him with his right hand. His voice was hoarse and weak. One could imagine how bad his current condition was!
The red-robed man waved his hand, and the jade bottle immediately flew into his hand. After checking it, his expression immediately became overjoyed.
However, his expression immediately turned serious. Then, he cupped his fists at Li Ming and said, “Fellow daoist, you’re really capable!” After saying that, he placed the jade slip in front of Li Ming. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the hook-nosed man. “Do you still have the [Metal Refinement Chapter] from before?”
“Yes.” The hook-nosed man was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. He then took out a jade slip from the pouch at his waist and handed it over.
The red-robed man placed the [Metal Refinement Chapter] in front of Li Ming and said sincerely, “I hope that fellow daoist can forgive me for my intrusion just now. This is a jade slip that my little brother accidentally obtained. Take it as our apology! In the future, if we encounter any trouble, we hope that you are willing to lend us a hand once again!”
This person is very strong!
Li Ming’s heart trembled. It was not because he was thankful to the other party, but because he was holding back his anger. However, just from the name of the jade slip, Li Ming knew that he definitely had no way to resist. He could only force a smile and say, “I hope it won’t be as troublesome as today.”
After the three of them left, Li Ming, who had escaped death, let out a long sigh of relief. His left hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, released the talisman.
This time, his losses were truly too great!
However, when he saw the two jade slips, he felt that his efforts were not in vain. Li Fengying was already scared out of her wits, hurriedly holding a large number of spirit pills and shoving them at him, trying to persuade Li Ming to go back to the Divine Will Sect. This business was simply too dangerous..
