The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 199: Sea of Fire 4th Floor

"Tell a story?" Several people looked at each other, not understanding what Tang Yan meant.

“A long time ago, this world’s cultivation system was not perfect, and there was not even a concept of “spiritual power and cultivation level”.

At that time, there was a man named Chen Yaozhi who had superb archery skills and was often proud of it.

One day, he was performing archery for everyone. All his arrows hit the bull's eye, so he boasted to the old man selling oil next to him.

However, the old man said: "It's nothing special, it's just a skillful technique." As he said that, he took a gourd, put a copper coin in the mouth of the gourd, scooped a spoonful of oil with a spoon, lifted it high and poured it down.

The poured oil passed through the coin hole like a line and all flowed into the gourd, without any oil getting on the copper coins.

If you don't use your true energy, do you think it's difficult to pierce the heart with arrows and drill the hole in the gourd with oil?" Tang Yan asked them.

"It's also difficult to use true Qi." You Bu Tong said with a wry smile.

"At that time, the old man said: It's nothing, just like archery and pouring oil, everything is a matter of practice makes perfect."

After Tang Yan finished speaking, several people immediately fell into deep thought. Although Tang Yan's story was short, it was the crystallization of Chinese civilization and contained infinite philosophy.

"Brother Yan, should we practice the basics of alchemy next?" Qin Yue'er was very smart and understood immediately.

“Yes, every pill that is released after the victory must maintain a high standard.

Your foundation is not solid, so the quality of the pills you refine varies, and it is difficult to reach high quality.

You haven't gone far on the road of alchemy yet, so it's not too late to practice the basics of alchemy again.

In the next few days, you should focus on practicing the basics, and practice 30,000 purifications for each method. Tomorrow Du Shu will send you enough medicinal materials.

I will be in seclusion for a while recently, and I will come to see the results of your practice in a week. I hope you can take it to heart and treat it seriously. "Tang Yan instructed.

"We will definitely not let Brother Yan down!" they promised.

Tang Yan talked about some more matters concerning alchemy and then left.

After Tang Yan left, Qin Yue'er said in a crisp voice: "Everyone, everyone has seen Brother Yan's level, which is much higher than ours.

In the art of alchemy, if you have a famous teacher to guide you, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Now that we are part of the team aiming for the championship, I think he will definitely not cheat us.

Let’s practice well and see the results. Don’t be lazy!

Go back and rest today, and officially start tomorrow! "

……

Tang Yan came to the third floor of the Nine Nether Fire Sea. Looking at the entrance to the fourth floor, Tang Yan's eyes were somewhat hesitant.

The third floor of the Nine Netherworld Sea of Fire is a very suitable place for cultivation for me, so how about trying the fourth floor?

Thinking that there was only a week left before the freshman competition and that he had just stepped into the ninth level of the Xuan Rank, Tang Yan made up his mind and directly squeezed through the third layer of barriers and walked towards the fourth layer!

Tang Yan's actions also attracted the attention of some people on the third floor.

"Damn, who is that person? He actually made it to the fourth floor. Could he be a master of the third level or higher of the Earth Rank?"

"It seems to be the fierce man who has been training on the third floor for half a month."

"Tang Yan? Isn't his strength only at the Xuan level?" Many people widened their eyes and stared at Tang Yan's disappearing back in a daze.

"I guess he wanted to go in and take a look, but he was too arrogant. The fourth floor, haha, I am only at the second level of the Earth Rank. I also wanted to go in and try it, but I came out in less than half a minute, and my meridians were almost damaged!" said one person with lingering fear.

"The first three levels are a hurdle, but the fourth level is a completely different story. I dare say that the boy must have been in there for no more than an hour."

"You think too much. With his Xuan-level strength, it would be great if he can stay in there for a quarter of an hour." The second-grade Earth-level warrior sneered.

"Half an hour!"

Many people simply stopped practicing and stared at the entrance to the fourth floor, waiting for Tang Yan to come out.

As soon as he entered the fourth floor, Tang Yan felt an overwhelming heat wave, as if he had jumped into boiling water. His skin turned red at this moment.

Looking around, I found that the layout of the fourth floor was very different from that of the upper three floors. There was no division of seats at all. It was just a large venue. There were not many people inside, only about a dozen people, and they sat quite far apart.

The ground was red stone, and Tang Yan could feel the scorching heat coming from it. White smoke was constantly coming out from all around, and Tang Yan just took a step forward when there was a whoosh next to him, and a wave of fire suddenly burst out.

This kind of fire does not burn clothes, but burns the body. Tang Yan clearly feels that even his hair has a faint burnt smell.

"The fourth floor and the third floor are completely different!" Tang Yan sighed, and the Supreme Alchemy Sutra in his body started to circulate rapidly, so that he could barely catch his breath in such a hot place.

However, the burning sensation continued to drill into his body, and Tang Yan felt as if his internal organs were placed on a barbecue grill.

"Once these flames enter the body, they will burn the meridians. We need to find a place to sit down quickly and refine these flames. If the speed of refining is not faster than the speed of the flames entering the body, then we can only return to the third floor."

He quickly found a place to sit cross-legged, and his true energy circulated rapidly through his veins like a spring. After one circle, the burning sensation was still extremely intense.

If I continue at this pace, my meridians will likely be damaged if I don’t get out after twenty breaths!

Such a short time is indeed very tight.

Tang Yan was calm and collected, not showing any signs of panic. After circulating his true Qi for a while, he clearly felt that there was an extra force in his body that was suppressing the power of the fire element.

This magical effect must be the result of the fire created by heaven and earth.

As soon as he thought about it, the fire of nature in his body was mobilized at this moment and circulated in his meridians along with the true qi.

With the injection of the fire of heaven and earth, the original burning sensation finally reached a tolerable level!

Success! Tang Yan was delighted and began to practice.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

The fire spirit energy on the fourth layer is extremely rich, five or six times stronger than that on the third layer.

Tang Yan knew that he had not been practicing for a long time. After all, it would consume a lot of true energy to activate the fire of heaven and earth!

If you want to stay here for a long time to practice, there are only two possibilities: first, to improve your strength, and second, to enlarge your meridians.

I have just broken through to the ninth level of the Xuan Stage, so the first method is obviously unlikely. Enlarging the meridians... Tang Yan slapped his head, he had just refined the Pure Spirit Pill and almost forgot about it.

The third-level elixir, the Pure Spirit Pill, only works on the meridians and can effectively temper the meridians. Tang Yan flipped his hand and took out a Pure Spirit Pill from the storage ring.

The pill melted in his mouth and moved along his veins with his true energy. Wherever the medicinal power reached, Tang Yan could clearly feel another kind of heat coming from his veins.

This burning sensation is neither overbearing nor violent, but it is like a slow cooker over low heat, constantly stewing one's own veins.

The burning of the fire spirit power, the slow simmering of the Pure Spirit Pill, and the swelling pain caused by the overly turbulent fire spirit energy, under these three inhuman tortures, even though Tang Yan's will was extremely firm, he now frowned and his body trembled slightly.

Beads of sweat the size of beans quickly overflowed from his body, and were dried by the scorching heat around him.

This happened over and over again, the taste was sour and intoxicating, like being thrown into the eighteenth level of hell.
