Chapter 195: Feed the Flame
Floating before Lin Yan was a mound of glittering golden sand. Brilliant six-colored light shimmered across its surface, making it dazzling to behold. It was the Rank Six immortal material Six Yang Divine Sand. The pile before him alone was worth nearly one hundred immortal essence stones.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lin Yan activated the Feed the Flame Immortal killer move, consuming three beads of green grape immortal essence. Hundreds of Fire-burning Wine Gu burst into crimson light and circled around the Six Yang Divine Sand, forming a towering crimson fire tornado that continuously refined the immortal material.
As the fire tornado gradually dispersed, a crimson wine jar half a person’s height slowly emerged. A rich wine fragrance drifted from it, carrying both the mellow aroma of aged liquor and the scorching heat of blazing fire.
Lin Yan picked up the wine jar and drank deeply. The fiery wine flowed down his throat like molten lava, spreading a burning warmth throughout his body. Within a few breaths, he had emptied the entire jar.
A powerful wave of drowsiness immediately swept over him, causing his vision to blur. Lin Yan forcefully activated a large number of Dream Awakening Gu to keep himself awake before using Flame Eye Immortal Gu to inspect the Flame Path dao marks on his body.
"Ten Flame Path dao marks increased?"
Seeing the result, Lin Yan frowned slightly. Consuming Flame Path immortal materials worth one hundred immortal essence stones had only increased his Flame Path dao marks by ten. Once the cost of Fire-burning Wine Gu and the green grape immortal essence was included, the price was indeed rather high.
However, after giving it some thought, he quickly accepted it. During Fang Yuan’s second life, he possessed the Rank Six Food Path Eat Strength Immortal Gu. Even after eating the leg of a Strength Path desolate beast, he only gained a single Strength Path dao mark. Compared to that, Feed the Flame was already an exceptional Immortal Killer Move for increasing dao marks.
Naturally, it still had its shortcomings. The first was intoxication. Every use left the user overwhelmingly drowsy, making it impossible to activate the killer move repeatedly in a short period without relying on other Gu worms or methods to counter its side effects.
The second was its rank limitation. At its current level, Oil Flame Immortal Gu could only refine and absorb Rank Six Flame Path immortal materials. To use higher-ranked immortal materials in the future, he would first have to raise the rank of the core Immortal Gu.
Even so, Lin Yan was more than satisfied. For Flame Path Gu Immortals, this immortal killer move was a priceless treasure. As for Gu Immortals of other paths, its value would be greatly reduced.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately began calculating.
"My Flame Sovereign Blessed Land produces Rank Six Flame Path immortal materials worth around one thousand immortal essence stones each year. Over three years, that amounts to three thousand immortal essence stones. In other words, every month in the outside world, I can permanently increase my Flame Path dao marks by roughly three hundred."
The result left even Lin Yan pleasantly surprised. In terms of efficiency, it was almost equivalent to undergoing one Earth Calamity every month. The only drawback was the cost. Three thousand immortal essence stones were enough for several attempts to refine Rank Six Immortal Gu. Few Gu Immortals would be willing to pay such a price.
Fortunately, this was still far from Lin Yan limit. Besides the immortal materials produced by Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, he could continue purchasing large quantities of Flame Path immortal materials from Treasure Yellow Heaven. He could also activate Blazing Prosperity to further increase the blessed land’s production.
The more Lin Yan thought about it, the brighter his future appeared. If everything went according to plan, the number of Flame Path dao marks he accumulated over the next two years would reach an astonishing level.
Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the ten thousand Hairy Men to refine a massive quantity of Fire-burning Wine Gu.
Since Lin Yan Immortal Ascension three months ago, Flame Sovereign Blessed Land had already accumulated Flame Path immortal materials worth several thousand immortal essence stones. Lin Yan kept only enough to maintain the blessed land’s long-term development and used everything else to activate Feed the Flame Immortal killer move.
....
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, thirty days had passed in the outside world, equivalent to more than three years inside Flame Sovereign Blessed Land.
During that time, Lin Yan’s Flame Path dao marks increased by a full one thousand, raising his total to 6,300. His battle strength also rose dramatically. By the end of the month, he had exhausted not only his stockpiled immortal materials but also everything Flame Sovereign Blessed Land had produced during those three years.
His rapid growth finally came to an end. From now on, he could only wait for the blessed land to gradually accumulate another batch of Flame Path immortal materials before continuing to increase his dao marks.
When Lin Yan turned his attention back to Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. Everything had developed just as he had expected.
