Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2192: Chapter 2196: Winning More First Places

”You don’t know how to control Spiritual Fire!?”

Sang Zhenye’s expression changed, exclaiming in surprise.

Hu Yiqiu and the others were stunned there.

Claiming to be able to refine elixirs without understanding Spiritual Fire control!?

If these words hadn’t come from Jiang Chen, everyone would have thought they were being teased!

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, without giving much explanation. Facts speak louder than words, and besides, if he were to explain himself, he truly couldn’t make it clear.

The memory from the dream only mentioned controlling the intensity of the flame during pill refinement, but didn’t explain how to control it. He had always used Mortal Fire for refining!

Ineffective to control Hu Yiqiu and the others, Jiang Chen waved his hand.

Swish, swish, swish!

All the wood flew to the side of the alchemy cauldron, stacked into a pile taller than a person.

Approaching the alchemy cauldron, Jiang Chen took a glance around, a trace of helplessness in his eyes, picked up a piece of wood, and flicked it with a single hand.

A speck of starfire sprang from his fingers, landing on the wood.

Woosh!

The wood immediately ignited.

Sitting in front of the alchemy cauldron, Jiang Chen began heating it.

Hu Yiqiu and the others dumbfoundedly watched Jiang Chen, without uttering a word, but their eyes revealed a trace of indulgence.

They had already given up hope on Jiang Chen refining elixirs, but it was rare to see such a capricious side, so they let him be. After all, wasting a batch of Spirit-Infusing Pill’s materials was no issue, they could afford it.

Jiang Chen’s current Mortal Fire refining was perceived as a child’s willful act in their eyes.

As more wood was added, the alchemy cauldron gradually warmed up.

When the temperature reached a certain standard, Jiang Chen flipped his hand, and a spirit grass flew from the stone table, landing into the alchemy cauldron.

”No extraction, just refining?”

Sang Zhenye softly muttered, increasingly feeling that Jiang Chen was acting out on a whim.

As time passed, the woodpile grew smaller, all the spirit grass was thrown into the alchemy cauldron by Jiang Chen.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the lid of the alchemy cauldron was closed by Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s face became serious, divine sense power expelled from his body, probing into the alchemy cauldron, beginning to control the arrangement of spirit grass within. The spirit grass had already transformed into spiritual liquid, slowly merging under the maneuvering of the divine sense.

”This young lad... doesn’t really think Mortal Fire can refine elixirs, does he? The temperature isn’t sufficient!”

Hu Yiqiu muttered softly.

Hum!

A wave of Great Dao aura appeared, with a torrent of Great Dao power erupting from Jiang Chen’s body, permeating into the alchemy cauldron.

Swish, swish, swish!

Nearby wood was quickly channeled by Jiang Chen into the alchemy cauldron, instantly transforming into blazing flames, turning directly into ash.

”Enhancing fire intensity with Fire Path and Great Dao power is indeed the correct method for refining, but... no matter how you upgrade Mortal Fire, it can’t refine elixirs, can it?”

Sang Zhenye’s brow lightly furrowed, ”And, he’s only slightly using his divine sense power to control spirit grass spiritual liquid, without using Primordial Spirit Power, this...”

”Elder Sang, it’s just a batch of spirit grass material, you won’t feel regretful, will you?”

Hu Yiqiu glanced at Sang Zhenye.

”No, I just feel like this young guy isn’t clear-minded, seems sincerely thinking this can indeed refine elixirs.”

Sang Zhenye lightly shook his head.

”Brother, give me a hand, go chop some wood, never thought Fire Path propulsion would burn so much wood, didn’t consider this issue when using natural gas, the wood isn’t enough!”

Suddenly, a call echoed.

”Alright!”

Yun Tao glanced at the dwindling woodpile beside him, already running low.

Swish!

In a flash, Yun Tao flew towards the mountainside, quickly retrieving wood five times more than Jiang Chen just had.

”Throw them up into the sky.”

Jiang Chen shouted commandingly.

Swish!

Yun Tao exerted his strength, throwing the wood up into the sky.

Whish, whish, whish!

A sword aura of Starfire Sword emerged, transforming into a storm of sword aura rampaging wildly in the air.

When the sword aura subsided, pieces of wood of exactly the same size hovered in the air.

”Young Jiang’s control of power has reached a pinnacle!”

Hu Yiqiu remarked in awe as he observed the wood completely shrouding the peak of Southern Maniac Mountain.

”Judging from the aura he possesses, Jiang Chen should’ve already been able to break through realms, shouldn’t he? Why hasn’t he done so?”

Jian Cangqiong expressed his puzzlement.

”This...”

Hu Yiqiu paused slightly, gently shaking his head, ”Initially, I thought he was training for more precise control over power and comprehending the Great Dao, but witnessing this display now, I’m less sure, his Great Dao understanding has obviously hit a bottleneck; without other Dao treasures’ aid, breaking through the realm may be the only way to comprehend further, yet he hasn’t broken through, it’s...”

”Master, I know the reason.”

Yun Tao gazed enviously at the uniform wood pieces in the sky, and turned to Hu Yiqiu, ”I’ve asked the junior brother, he said that although he has done plenty for Changlin Academy, Changlin Academy has also taught him a lot, granting him a sense of belonging.”

”He heard me say Changlin Academy’s position among the four branches is awkward, having not won top ranks in realms for many years. Although Senior Lei Kai is here this year, it’s not a sure guarantee, hence he wants to help the academy win several first places to gain more support from the main academy.”

”Win several first places? What does that mean?”

Jian Cangqiong looked at Yun Tao with surprise, Sang Zhenye and his wife also wore puzzled expressions.

Hu Yiqiu’s eyes changed slightly upon hearing this, glancing at Jiang Chen who continued sending wood into the alchemy cauldron, with eyes full of solace.

”Isn’t there a rule in the main academy entrance competition that each realm’s first can challenge the first of a higher realm? Junior brother plans to seize first in Divine Infant Realm Early Stage, then challenge the first in Mid Divine Infant Realm, striving to claim two first places.”

Yun Tao chuckled lightly.

”This...”

Everyone paused, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes filled with comfort.

”This young guy... excellent! Proud to have you as my disciple!”

Hu Yiqiu spoke with slight excitement.

”The idea is good, and he indeed has the ability to challenge above realms, but... challenging the top in Mid Divine Infant Realm is quite suspenseful, unless he succeeds in mastering ’Five Elements Sealing Demon Sword’!”

Wu Xianxia looked at Jiang Chen with anticipation, rarely speaking so much.

”Not necessarily!”

Hu Yiqiu gently shook his head, ”That young guy can use human formation and laying down formations; if he can swiftly set up a formation during a duel, he might also succeed against top students in Mid Divine Infant Realm. Although the main academy competition wouldn’t have any Heavenly Momentum for him to borrow, his formation art mastery is undeniable!”

Jian Cangqiong and others paused slightly, then nodded lightly.
