Chapter 118 - Chapter 118: Chapter 118: New System Feature: Spirit Plant Repair (2/2)

Listening to the voice, it was actually Huang Qingling. Lin Jing didn’t know

how she had come back, but despite his curiosity, he went to open it.

Upon opening the courtyard door, sure enough, Huang Qingling was standing there, looking as lovely as ever.

“Qing Ling, didn’t you go to the auction? How come you’re back so soon?”

“Could it be that the auction has already ended?”

“No, I came back early,” Huang Qingling said.

“Let me tell you, there were many interesting events at the auction today…” As she spoke, Huang Qingling stepped into the courtyard.

Lin Jing followed after her, closing the courtyard door, and the two of them went to the center of the yard together.

“By the way, do you have any tea here? Brew a pot, I’m a bit thirsty after coming back from the auction hall, ” she said.

“We can drink while I tell you about it…”

Huang Qingling continued, making her way to sit down in the pavilion.

“Tea? Yes…

“It’s the Spiritual Tea you got from Elder Bai last time; I haven’t touched it,” Lin Jing said.

In fact, this Spiritual Tea was secretly taken by Huang Qingling from Elder Bai, who said it was beneficial for cultivation and also had a calming effect.

Elder Bai was accustomed to this and didn’t make much of it.

After that, Lin Jing went inside, took out a set of tea tools, and placed them on the table in the middle of the pavilion, before saying to Huang Qingling: “But you’ll have to wait for a bit; boiling the tea will take some time.” As he spoke, Lin Jing picked up the teapot, intending to head to the kitchen.

“What a hassle…”

Huang Qingling pursed her lips and then continued:

“Here, let me…”

Huang Qingling reached out her hand. Not knowing what she had in mind, Lin Jing still handed over the teapot.

Huang Qingling took the teapot and directly conjured water with Spiritual Energy to fill it.

This ability to transform Spiritual Energy into water was just one of the uses of Spiritual Power and didn’t require cultivation to perform.

Lin Jing was naturally capable of it, but he wasn’t as impressive as Huang Qingling, who filled the teapot in an instant.

“Watch closely…”

Then a ball of flame emerged from Huang Qingling’s hand. This flame was incredibly hot, and Lin Jing could clearly feel it.

Moreover, this was not a flame-related spell, but True Fire, which only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator possessed.

The teapot then levitated, and the ball of flame flew beneath it.

With one above and one below, Huang Qingling began to heat the water.

What normally took the time of half an incense stick, in Huang Qingling’s hands took merely the duration of a single cup of tea, and the water was already boiling.

“The tea leaves…”

Huang Qingling withdrew the flame and placed the teapot onto the table.

“They’re in that box,” Lin Jing pointed to a small wooden box on the tea table.

Huang Qingling didn’t speak. She opened the box, pinched some tea leaves, and placed them in the teapot.

“Do you feel it? This is True Fire, unique to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and it’s also a prerequisite for refining Third Rank Elixir Medicines,” Huang Qingling said, looking at Lin Jing.

“I’m well aware of that,” Lin Jing replied.

Upon reaching Foundation Establishment, one could condense internal True

Fire for one’s own use. This True Fire was extraordinarv, far more powerful than ordinary mortal fire. It was essential for both alchemy and artifact refining.

For instance, Third Rank Elixir Medicines could not be refined using mortal fire; it required True Fire for the process.

Of course…

Should one cultivate to the Golden Core Stage, the True Fire would also evolve alongside the cultivator, becoming the Elixir Fire wielded by a Golden Core Cultivator.

Elixir Fire was far more formidable than True Fire; should a Foundation Establishment Cultivator accidentally encounter it, they would surely perish upon touch.

However, at the Golden Core level, with a variety of offensive techniques and numerous Magical Treasures, Elixir Fire naturally became more of a supporting method..
