Chapter 79: Hard to Seek an External Elixir (2/2)

He seemed to be sucked dry. Apart from having a body that was stronger than ordinary people, he was an ordinary person.

Fortunately, it didn't last long. His Internal Qi was then spat out from that ball of black flame, going back to his Dantian.

Gradually, Junior Leopard discovered its mystery.

Every time, when his Internal Qi was engulfed and was spat out again, it was like inhalation and exhalation when practicing Internal Qi. The Internal Qi would become purer by a bit, but its amount got a quarter less. At the same time, he could feel that the black flame within his Dantian would solidify by a bit.

As for how much it solidified, he didn't know, because this was purely a feeling.

It was an extremely mysterious feeling.

As time went on, things became more and more mysterious. With the increase of the number of the engulfing and spitting, the black flame and Junior Leopard's Internal Qi became increasingly connected. Junior Leopard even felt that there were signs of them merging together.

He believed when his cultivation reached Level Three, perhaps this ball of black flame would completely merge with his Internal Qi, becoming a part of his Internal Qi.

By that time, he didn't know what would happen.

However, he knew what happened now.

The present situation is only good for him, no harm.

This black flame grew by engulfing his Internal Qi, and at the same time it would purify the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi. Hence, even though when practicing the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, he would be slower than ordinary people, there was a limit. And the purified Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was more powerful. Most importantly, he realized that when he felt that its power was not enough, he could seep a strand of black flame into his Internal Qi. Then its power would be increased dramatically. However, his body would also be affected by the violent explosion of Internal Qi.

”If only I have an External Elixir!”

He always thought so, whenever he tried to seep the black flame's power into his Internal Qi, feeling a sharp pain from the high temperature emitted within his tendons and vessels.

An External Elixir!

That would be a super plug-in.

It could store the enormous Internal Qi that the body was unable to withstand.

External Elixirs were usually strengthened by Evil Qi and handled by Special Techniques. The amount of Internal Qi it could store was often more than dozens of times more that of the body.

Some External Elixirs that were made of abnormal materials could store Internal Qi that was hundred of times more than the body. And the External Elixir made of the Fiery Eyes could store Internal Qi that was hundreds of times at least. Hence, Fiery Eyes were so precious.

Of course, apart from storing huge amounts of Internal Qi, Fiery Eyes had a significant advantage: it was hard to spoil.

Fiery Eyes were also known as Eyes of Eternity. It was among the first ten solid Mysterious Objects.

It was easy to refine, solid, with extremely high Internal Qi storage.

With these three characteristics, the Fiery Eyes were universally recognized as the best material for refining External Elixirs.

Junior Leopard had Fiery Eyes too, but he could not use it to refine External Elixirs.

Because he was not dead yet.

Only when Fiery Eyes were out of the body could them become solid, and could them hold large amount of Internal Qi. As for Junior Leopard, unless he was willing to dig out one of his eyeballs, he could not refine an External Elixir with his own eye. However, he now obviously did not have this intention.

To dig out his own eyes? He was not a fool!

However, it didn't mean that he didn't want to refine an External Elixir!

External Elixir was a good thing!

For the first time that he heard of this thing, he understood that this was the best way to enhance his strength greatly within a short period of time.

Of course, to refine an External Elixir was not easy.

Others were not fools. He could see it at a glance, and so could others.

However, the materials of External Elixirs were hard to find!

Firstly, the material was extremely rare in this world. For example, Fiery Eyes were a bloodline that was cut off for over 3,000 years. It was 3,000 years!

It was just like the Junior Leopard in his previous life wanting to find a chamber pot that a specific person used during the Spring and Autumn Period. Where could you find it?

Fiery Eyes were so, and so were the other materials that could be used to refine the External Elixir. Even if they were not as precious as Fiery Eyes, it was not far from it. How could such things be widely used?

Secondarily, to refine the Fiery Eyes required a special refinement method. The ones in control of these refinement methods were not many and they would also not leak it out.

Hence, even if you could luckily obtain the materials, and yet you maybe don't know the refinement method. On the other hand, even if you knew the refinement method you maybe don't have suitable materials.

It was for this reason that there were few people in the world owning External Elixirs.
