Chapter 1870: Chapter 1967: Refining Soul Fire

Outside the shimmering barrier of the formation, a few Demon Beasts that had been driven out of their own territory looked on with resentment, their eyes fixed fiercely on the solitary figure within, Fang Lin.

Among these Demon Beasts were some formidable Eight-change Monster Beasts, but they were no match for Fang Lin and were all expelled. If not for Fang Lin not being the murderous type, any other short-tempered Human Clan strongman would not have been as courteous and would have slaughtered them outright.

Although these Demon Beasts were ousted from their original territory by Fang Lin, none dared to act rashly. After all, they’re not mindless beasts and know whom to provoke and whom to avoid.

The Human Clan strongman within the formation is not someone these Demon Beasts can afford to provoke. Even though being driven away from their territory is humiliating and frustrating, since they weren’t slaughtered, it was considered a courtesy. Moreover, he won’t stay long, and once he leaves, they can reclaim their territory.

This place, shrouded in toxic miasma and surrounded by mountains, is seldom explored by any Human Warrior, making it quite secluded.

Fang Lin had searched extensively to find a place here to refine pills, otherwise, he would have worried about being disturbed by others elsewhere.

Given his current strength, refining pills will inevitably cause some noticeable phenomena, which could attract those with covetous intentions.

At this moment, the four Soul Commanding Pill Fires around Fang Lin gradually intertwined, the four-colored flames distinctly separated, not merging as smoothly as imagined.

However, Fang Lin was not surprised, as the four Soul Commanding Pill Fires were at different levels of strength, some stronger than others, resulting in the stronger flames consuming the weaker ones during the fusion process.

Under Fang Lin’s exquisite control, the four Soul Commanding Pill Fires completely merged into one, forming a somewhat peculiar Soul Commanding Pill Flame.

Even Fang Lin did not expect that after merging these four Soul Commanding Pill Fires, such a strange flame would appear.

Pitch-black like ink, the flame floated before Fang Lin. Though it was an uncommon black flame, flecks of gold intermittently flashed within it, adding a mysterious layer to its appearance.

Moreover, as the black flame surged, the surrounding space seemed to faintly distort, and even as its owner, Fang Lin could feel its searing heat.

Fang Lin extended a finger, and the black flame immediately adhered to it, the sensation gentle, as it’s his own Soul Commanding Pill Flame and wouldn’t harm him.

"It surpasses some naturally occurring flames, but something still seems lacking." Fang Lin frowned slightly. Although the black flame before him was extraordinary and would certainly astonish any other Pill Refiner, Fang Lin had witnessed various Soul Commanding Pill Fires and was not yet satisfied; there were still some shortcomings.

After some thought, Fang Lin suddenly brightened, tapping his forehead and saying, ’How careless of me, why did I forget that I still have the Skyfire.’

Fang Lin indeed was careless. After acquiring The Ancient Lamp of Flame God, he hadn’t considered extracting the Skyfire from it to refine his own Soul Commanding Pill Fire.

Only now did Fang Lin realize he had been sitting on a treasure and didn’t know it, a truly laughable mistake.

Skyfire is the pinnacle of fire attributes; only a handful of Pill Refiners in the world can refine Skyfire into their Soul Commanding Pill Fire. It’s incredibly rare, and the difficulty of refining Skyfire is immense, risking a backlash that could burn one to death.

This has happened before—an adept Pill Refiner once obtained a small wisp of Skyfire but failed to suppress its violent power during the refining process. Skyfire surged into his body, burning his meridians, resulting in most of his cultivation being destroyed. Though his life was spared, he suffered greatly.

In his previous life, Fang Lin hadn’t refined Skyfire because he had obtained fire of comparable quality and didn’t need to exert the extra effort for Skyfire.

But now, Fang Lin planned to refine the Skyfire into his Soul Commanding Pill Fire and then combine it with this black flame to see if anything surprising would happen.

Even if no surprise occurs, the quality of the fusion between Skyfire and the black flame was bound to surpass Skyfire alone.

At present, Fang Lin waved his hand and retrieved The Ancient Lamp of Flame God, drawing out some Skyfire and immediately took it within himself for refinement.

In an instant, Fang Lin’s expression changed; the feeling of ingesting Skyfire was not pleasant, much more excruciating than any past experiences of refining Soul Commanding Pill Fires.

Yet for Fang Lin, refining the Skyfire wasn’t that challenging, as he was already very familiar with Skyfire, so there was no mutual resistance, and within just three days, Fang Lin had within him a Soul Commanding Pill Fire refined from Skyfire.

Without wasting time, Fang Lin went on to blend the newly refined Soul Commanding Pill Fire with the black flame.

At this step, things finally became tricky; both the black flame and Skyfire were extremely powerful Soul Commanding Pill Fires that resisted each other, unwilling to be devoured.

The two powerful flames battled within Fang Lin for a full half-month before Fang Lin managed to meld them together with difficulty.

After spending another month, Fang Lin opened his long-closed eyes, and a flame appeared from his glabella.

ROAR!!!!

As the flame emerged, it emitted a deafening roar like an Ancient Wilderness beast, surprising even Fang Lin.

Subsequently, as the flame twisted, it first morphed into a True Dragon, then into a Divine Phoenix, and once more into a Kylin.

The forms of various Ancient Wilderness Exotic Beasts emerged continuously within the changing flame, leaving Fang Lin stunned, not expecting that the Soul Commanding Pill Fire he haphazardly fused would become so peculiar.

Ultimately, the flame returned to normal, maintaining that pitch-black hue intermixed with flecks of gold.

But Fang Lin knew that compared to the black flame just moments ago, this flame was now fundamentally different, much stronger than before.

"Although not as powerful as my Pill Sovereign Soul Fire, it’s likely that among the Pill Refiners today, few could compare their Soul Commanding Pill Fire to mine." Fang Lin silently mused, gazing at the black flame before him.

With a wave of his hand, the black flame enveloped the Ancient Sky-Lifting Tripod, marking the beginning of Pill Refining.
