200 Building a Foundation (1)

Jiang Ming had already memorized every single word of the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell.

"If the description of the contents of this Jade slip is true, its value is greater than what I had expected.

Jiang Mings eyes flickered. He was also a little excited. This forbidden technique was beyond his expectations.

The description that he had seen earlier only said that this technique could increase the strength of an immortal cultivator by several times. They could even break through if they kept using it!

However, it was impossible to test this theory for other immortal cultivators. This was because prolonged use could cripple ones cultivation and even lead to death.

"The shopkeeper also gave me a cluster of Purple Mystic Fire. I can test its power first!

Jiang Ming turned his wrist, and a colorless crystal appeared in his palm. A talisman paper was stuck on the surface, and a wisp of a purple flame was sealed in the crystal. It changed into a purple mist from time to time. It was very strange.

"The Purple Mystic Fire is rumored to be a strange spiritual fire created by a special cultivation method. It has extraordinary effects. And can be used against enemies or for refining pills and weapons.

Although it was sealed inside the crystal, Jiang Ming could still vaguely feel the heat contained in the purple flame.

"This spiritual fire can easily burn through the physical body of a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator. Its no different from courting death if one were to try to use it to refine their spiritual core.

Jiang Ming shook his head. Even though this was the weakest type of spiritual fire, no immortal cultivator was willing to touch it with their body.

No wonder this technique was so cheap.

Three days later, Jiang Ming finally completely comprehended the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell. He circulated it in his body several times. He took out the crystal that sealed the Purple Mystic Fire and prepared to test the power of this technique.

It was not difficult to practice this technique. However, not many cultivators dared practice it.

Jiang Ming tore off the sealing talisman, and the crystal suddenly broke into pieces. A purple flame that was only as thick as a strand of hair broke free of its restraint and kept changing its shape in the void.

Jiang Ming immediately used the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell and formed a spiritual power seal in his palm, which directly enveloped the wisp of flame.

In just a moment, the wisp of purple fire entered his body and immediately appeared under Jiang Mings spiritual core. Under Jiang Mings spell, it immediately turned into a tiny flame and integrated into his spiritual core.

Jiang Ming felt a sharp pain burst out from his spiritual core before it spread to his limbs and bones.

At the same time, his aura also suddenly increased explosively!

He broke through to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm!

Jiang Ming endured the pain and punched out with all his strength. His spiritual energy was fierce, turning into a pillar of light and fiercely hitting the black round shield in front of him.

This shield was his favorite for testing out the strength of new attacks. As it could withstand any attack below the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, it was a good indicator of Jiang Mings strength.

A muffled sound was heard, followed by a slight crack. The already damaged shield now had a deep hole in it. Cracks could be seen on the edge of the shield.

Jiang Ming gritted his teeth in pain. His spiritual core and meridians seemed to be seriously damaged. However, it was fine!

He was immortal!

In just a moment, he was back to his original state, full of energy. Looking at the shield that had suffered a lot, he revealed a surprised and satisfied expression.

It was clear that no one below the Foundation Establishment Realm could defeat him now.

Moreover, this was only the weakest type of spiritual fire. If he used a stronger type, would he be able to fight against a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Realm?

In the future, he would have to shop around for stronger types of spiritual fire.

"However, theres still a tiny flaw! Jiang Ming immediately frowned.

"When using this technique, the speed of spiritual energy consumption is also greatly increased. Although there are Qi-Returning Pills that can recover spiritual energy, the recovery speed of Qi-Returning Pills is much slower than the speed of consumption!

According to his previous experience, the inextinguishable origin light would only repair his body. It did not replenish Blood Qi or spiritual energy.

Back in the mortal world, martial artists mostly relied on their physical bodies. Thus, he did not mind the restriction. However, as he entered the world of immortal cultivators, it seemed to be getting harder and harder.
