Chapter 43 - The Awakening of Life Flame (1/2)

Seeing the flame flickering over Yun Shu’s palm, Senior Ye’s eyes suddenly lit up out of excitement. He could tell that the flame was from this boy’s Spirit Qi, instead of a fire martial art.

This meant Yun Shu had the potential to awaken his Life Flame!

Such extraordinary talent was extremely rare!

To achieve anything slightly remarkable in refining pills or making weapons, the awakening of Life Flame was indispensable.

Since time immemorial, the awakening of a Life Flame was crucial for master alchemists and artisans!

Such talent, however, was like gold dust. In the entire Fire Mystic Sect, few were able to awaken their Life Flame. However, there was one standing right in front of Senior Ye. No wonder he would feel so exhilarated.

“Boy, try to make the fire bigger. Do your very best!” Senior Ye said seriously.

Yun Shu slightly nodded and started circulating his Spirit Qi.

Bang!

The flame over his palm suddenly intensified and reached the height of more than seven to eight feet.

Watching his performance, Senior Ye’s eyes widened with amazement.

“Alright, stop!” Senior Ye said to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu did as told, and the flame instantly disappeared.

Senior Ye remained silent, weighing his words. After a while, he asked Yun Shu, “Boy, did anyone ever tell you that you can awaken your Life Flame?”

Yun Shu didn’t know what Senior Ye was talking about and shook his head.

Senior Ye bit his teeth angrily and swore right in front of him, “Those bloody blind dogs in the sect! There’s such a treasure in front of them, but they just cannot see!”

Knowing that Senior Ye was speaking highly of him, Yun Shu still felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, Senior Ye continued to explain, “The so-called awakening of Life Flame is, in fact, a kind of innate talent. A person born with it can not only turn Spirit Qi into flame but also have a much better understanding and greater strength than others when practicing fire-related martial arts!

“In addition, if one wants to attain some real accomplishments in alchemy or crafting, the Life Flame is vital! Not many have the talent, but you do!” said Senior Ye.

Yun Shu was left in a daze while listening to Senior Ye. For the first time ever in his life, he came to know that he was born with such a gift!

Senior Ye soon shook his head and warned him, “Boy, don’t get too excited too early. Your talent can only determine your upper limits, but it’s entirely possible for you to never even touch them. After all, it fully depends on how hard you are willing to work!”

“I understand!” Yun Shu hurriedly nodded.

“Now that you have no problem turning Spirit Qi into a flame, the most important thing for you right now is to find a way to awaken your Life Flame!” Senior Ye said.

“What should I do?” Yun Shu asked.

“The key to awakening one’s Life Flame is to try to burn up one’s own Spirit Qi. When all of your Spirit Qi is consumed, your Life Flame will be ignited naturally. But for a large majority, the most difficult part is to light a big enough fire, which requires consistent practice. But your flame before was really huge. Did you ever practice it?” asked Senior Ye.

Yun Shu was also confused when he heard this, but soon, he understood.

The reason why he was able to kindle such a tall flame was that he had been feeding the little chick for a few months. Every time he fed the little thing, it almost emptied out his Spirit Qi reserves.

This was, however, the best way for the awakening of Life Flame!

Before he knew it, he had done the motion of awakening his Life Flame multiple times.

“Senior, I tried to refine some pills on my own a couple of times before,” Yun Shu said.
