Chapter 378: Second Meeting

As soon as Wang Wei left the Scripture Pavillion, he could see dark clouds on top of the sect. His eyes penetrated the distance and he saw a pill undergoing Pill Tribulation.

The intensity of this tribulation was quite intense, with both fire, wind, and thunder trying to destroy it, but the pill was holding on pretty well.

"It seems that my cheap master succeeded," muttered Wang Wei was pondering the coincidence of him exiting his retreat at the same time as the old man.

In the Innate Pill Technique that he handed over to Ye Lao, he also wrote a special method that involved using the Power of Heaven and Earth as an aid to help with the Rune Engraving Process.

He hoped this method would help his cheap master break through his bottleneck and become a Tier 6 Quasi-Emperor Alchemist. And based on the clouds in the sky, he must have succeeded.

As he looked at the pill who successfully passed the tribulation, Wang Wei thought to himself: 'This should be enough to pay some of the Karma of impersonating your disciple and stealing, no, borrowing two Emperor Scriptures from your sect.'

Then, he did not go see his cheap master but returned to his cave; he guessed by now the old man should be digesting and securing his recent breakthrough.

Once inside, he activated the formation to notify outsiders that he was in retreat and not to disturb him. Wang Wei then proceeded to enter his space ring for added security bonus.

The first thing he did was to separate from Lou Cheng and immediately checked his own soul.

"Phew, it seems that there is no issue with the technique."

Wang Wei did not find the ban on his soul, meaning that the ban only recognized him as Lou Cheng. The reason that he was discovered during the Flame Emperor Trial was that the latter showed up in person.

After nodding his head, he once again became Lou Cheng. Then, he used his finger to calculate how long it took to comprehend the [Origin Pill Flame Scripture] and the result was 12 years.

This was not as long as he expected. However, comprehending the scripture was different from practicing it.

This scripture has very harsh conditions similar to Wang Tian's [Absolute Cut Sutra]. As a condition to practice, this sutra requires a Swordsman Heart or Sword Dao Heart, which is essentially a deep and unwavering dedication to the Way of the Sword otherwise one cannot practice this technique.

And even if some genius managed to bypassed this requirement, the power of this sutra will never reach its full potential. This is one of the reasons that Wang Wei only used that technique as a reference and never actually practice it.

The same rule applied to the [Origin Pill Flame Scipture], and the conditions can even be said to be harsher. The first step of cultivating this technique is to condense the Origin Pill Flame, and this flame is the foundation of the entire scripture.

Without it, this Emperor Scripture can be said to be worthless.

However, the conditions to accomplish this first step are truly harsh: whether in terms of Alchemy talent needed for the process or the Pill Dao Heart requirement.

Only people who have dedicated themselves completely to the Alchemy Dao can condense the Origin Pill Flame. For a person like Wang Wei who only considered Alchemy Dao as a minor in his path of cultivation, he could only dream of condensing that flame.

Luckily, his [Fate Stealing Technique] has essentially turned him into Lou Cheng from bloodline to soul, and even Dao Heart. So, he can still use him to condense the flame.

Although Lou Cheng–before the trial–was not talented enough to practice this scripture, his dedication to the Dao of Alchemy was more than enough. He spent the majority of his time refining pill, practicing over and over to perfect his craft; he was satisfied with the tinies of improvement, never complaining that he was not improving too fast.

He was not jealous of his fellow senior and junior brother and sisters. To him, only three things truly mattered: his master whom he treated like a father, his third senior sister who he believed was the love of his life, and practicing Alchemy.

Wang Wei took a deep breath to calm down and remove all distracting thoughts. Although he was confident in his technique, he was a little worried. However, after thinking about his backup plan in case he could not condense the flame, it became easier to calm down.

Even if he failed now, all he has to do is let Yan Liling cultivate this technique and help him refine his soul. With her talent and Dao Heart, it should be no problem to successfully condense the Origin Pill Flame.

However, Wang Wei did not want to use the backup plan unless necessary, for both personal and political reasons.

He closed his eyes and began condensing this special flame. This process should have been at least 10 times more difficult. However, over the years, many wise sages of the Origin PIll Dao Sect have added their own understanding and change to the scripture.

Some of these sages realized that this process was too difficult, so they created methods to decrease the difficulty level while keeping all the abilities and powers of the Origin Pill Flame.

Over time, this method has been perfected by many people, and can even be argued that the current Origin Pill Flame is way better than the one the Danyuan Emperor created.

Although in every generation, few people can cultivate this scripture. Nevertheless, the Origin Pill Sect has existed for a very long time so a lot of people had time to study this scripture, and all of them were extremely talented individuals.

The method created by the predecessors to help condense the Origin Pill Flame is to take a small portion from the Good Fortune Flame that is used to cultivate the Origin System.

Then, based on that small portion, separate the small power of good fortune inside to create the Origin Pill Flame.

Wang Wei followed this method. His Good Fortune Flame was unique since it was made of 13-colored flame instead of 12. So, the power of good fortune contained inside was more abundant and potent than regular flames.

Because of this, things proceeded better than he anticipated. However, during the process, he was momentarily distracted. And it was because he was pondering the effect of the Fate Stealing Technique.

With it, he was like a combination of him and Lou Cheng. He can use his real body to benefit Lou Cheng–like using his own Good Fortune Flame–while still being Lou Cheng.

He can make Lou Cheng suffer the consequence of his action while not affecting his real body–like with the Scripture Ban in his soul.

While appearing as Lou Cheng, he still regains his consciousness, memories, and ideas of his real body.

In conclusion, Wang Wei is both himself and Lou Cheng, but Lou Cheng is now Wang Wei.

While being distracted, Wang Wei realized that the process was about to fail so he regained his bearing. The process lasted a few days, then, a pink flame appeared in his hand.

He finally succeeded.

Immediately, he separated from Lou Cheng and controlled this flame to enter his heart and fused with his Chaos Flame. One of the benefits he received from the Flame Emperor Inheritance was how to use the Chaos Flame to turn into other Heavenly Flames.

So, after absorbing the Origin Pill Flame, the eve-changing Chaos Flame turned pink in color as it now contained all the properties and abilities of this new flame.

Then, under Wang Wei's control, the Chaos Flame turned black which was the Heavenly Destruction Flame, then turned white which was the Cleansing Purifying Flame, turn brown which was the Soul-Corrupting Flame that he got from Ji Song's Devil God Bone.

Finally, it turned back to pink. Nodding in satisfaction, he returned the flame to his heart. He once again fused with Lou Cheng, then, condensed the Origin Pill Flame once again, this time using Lou Cheng's Good Fortune Flame.

Since he now had experience in doing so, the process only lasted a few hours; this flame was left for Lou Cheng. Once that was done, Wang Wei knew that it was time for him to leave.

But he still had two things to do before leaving. One was to steal a few of the rare pill formulas of the Origin Pill Dao Sect. Since he already owed them a great Karma, he might as well owe a little more.

Anyone, once he proves the Dao, he can find a way to repay them.

So, he uses his new status as Pill Sage to gain access to these formulas. With his new token, he did not even have to pay any sect points to gain access to these things.

The Elders did not say anything and thought he was trying to refine these pills. Additionally, his cheap master was still in retreat so no one asked him questions as many of the Elders were happily fanning over him.

After all, not only was he a young Saint Alchemist, this generation's Young Pill Sage that received the Ancestral Blessing, but his master was now the fourth Quasi-Emperor Alchemist in the sect.

So, his status was nobler now.

After that, Wang Wei made a copy of the things he received during the Flame Emperor Inheritance and leave it to Lou Cheng. However, he took away the seed of the Earth Spirit Flame.

Finally, he separated from Lou Cheng and woke up the latter; they were about to have their second meeting, with this one being the official one.
