Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Double Fire Spike Ring
"Fine, very fine."
Mad Bull threw a gold coin card to Blaze Regret and quickly retreated. As he did so, he shouted with a mix of fear and bravado, "Just wait, you'll pay for what you've done today!"
Blaze Regret smirked, clearly unimpressed by such threats.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Blaze Regret, along with Red, slowly walked towards the shop. After purchasing a clean black robe, he began buying large quantities of materials needed to refine Black Flame Mud.
Black Flame Mud could only be refined by a second tier alchemist, and with his current level of spiritual power, he was just barely capable.
"Black Flame Grass, Hundred Nectar, and the saliva of a Black Flame Python."
As Blaze Regret listed the materials, the shop assistant made a strange face. What kind of random items were these? He couldn't figure out what Blaze Regret needed them for.
The shop only had Black Flame Grass, so the assistant quickly put out a bounty. It wasn't until after Blaze Regret finished his meal at the inn that he received the full amount he needed.
"Let's head to the mountains on the left. It's said that many Imperial level spirit beasts roam there, and few spirit hunters are willing to enter," suggested Master Magi after a brief consideration, glancing at the dark mountains to the left of Hildan Town.
Blaze Regret nodded, cloaking himself in his black robe, and slowly walked towards the left. With his face hidden, the excitedly chatting spirit hunters didn't realize that he was the very person they were talking about.
"It seems Mad Tan is quite famous in Hildan Town."
Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile. His tall, slender figure cast a long shadow in the setting sun before gradually disappearing from the town.
Large leaves covered the cave entrance, with the cool moonlight filtering through the gaps, scattering star like spots inside the cave.
Sitting cross legged beside a bronze colored cauldron, Blaze Regret's flame engulfed hands gently touched both sides of the cauldron. His eyes were slightly closed, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead.
As a substance comparable to a second grade pill, Black Flame Mud could no longer be refined using an ordinary cauldron. After all, such cauldrons could only handle simple pills and potions. Find more adventures on m-v|-NovelFire
The liquid inside the cauldron gradually surged towards the center, with its moisture evaporating rapidly, faintly forming a medicinal mud. The rising white smoke indicated the heat of the medicinal mud.
Following Master Magi's instructions, Blaze Regret carefully applied the Black Flame Mud onto Red's body. Instantly, the latter's eyes widened, and his gaping mouth emitted a painful wail.
"Bear with it."
Master Magi grinned maliciously, "This medicinal mud contains extremely violent fire attribute energy. If you can fully absorb it, the benefits will be immense."
Red's mouth twitched as he angrily glared at Master Magi, finding his smile increasingly annoying.
"Crack!"
The next morning, a crisp sound suddenly resonated by Blaze Regret's ear.
The black medicinal mud enveloping Red had already fallen off, like two pieces of broken eggshell.
Red screamed and ran around the cave energetically, as if on fire.
"Tsk tsk, the medicinal properties of the Black Flame Mud have been completely absorbed. Now, even without synchronizing with your spiritual power, this little guy can tear apart that Rock Spirit Bear from yesterday," Master Magi said with a smile.
"That was too reckless," Blaze Regret said, his face pale. The energy of the Black Flame Mud was terrifying; any more, and Red might have exploded from the excess spiritual power.
However, the effects of the Black Flame Mud were undeniable. If Red could adapt to this state, the speed at which he broke through to the fifth rank would greatly accelerate.
"Swish!"
Just as Blaze Regret was about to push aside the leaves at the entrance of the cave, a dozen vines suddenly dropped down, wrapping around him like venomous snakes.
"Withered Wood Vine?"
Blaze Regret's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately retreated. Red, on the other hand, charged forward, his body engulfed in Blue flames that sprayed in all directions, though the Blue was tinged with traces of black impurities.
Feeling the intense heat, the vines emitted a shrill, fearful screech and quickly recoiled. However, they were no match for the incoming Blue flames and were incinerated in an instant.
"Little guy, you've made progress," Master Magi said with a faint smile, glancing at Blaze Regret.
The old Blaze Regret wouldn't have had such awareness. After this period of training, his survival skills had clearly improved significantly.
…
In the serene forest, a golden armored lion crouched in the grass, its bloodthirsty gaze fixed on a long eared fox eating ahead, its mouth open to reveal cold, sharp teeth.
Just as it was about to leap and attack, a Blue shadow suddenly appeared behind it. Claws flickering with fire mercilessly plunged into its head.
Sitting on the trunk of a giant tree, Blaze Regret swung his legs leisurely, watching Red execute one flawless ambush after another.
In a flash, five days had passed.
By now, Red had a bloody aura about him, and his energy fluctuated, constantly showing signs of advancing to the fifth rank.
After taking down a winged serpent, Red suddenly let out a low growl. Waves of intense heat rippled outwards, and the black impurities in his burning Blue flames had completely disappeared.
"He's at the fifth rank!"
Blaze Regret leaped down from the tree trunk in surprise, causing a few leaves to drift down in his wake.
A fifth rank Blue Flame Demon Cat now had the opportunity to comprehend new spiritual skill or upgrade one of it spiritual skill.
The reason it's only called an opportunity is that each warrior level spirit beast starts with two basic spiritual skills and if lucky spirit beast also will get opportunity to upgrade one of it skill. Later on, if they want to learn new skills or upgrade skill, it depends entirely on luck and talent.
Some spirit beasts might only have the initial two skills even when they advance to the Imperial level.
