With the help of the Beast King Flame and the Yang Fire Body, coupled with Qi Ping's comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire, he made rapid progress in cultivating this set of Flame Burst Spells.
A month later, Qi Ping had cultivated the Flame Burst Art, Flame Burst Body Technique, and Flame Burst Net to the Minor Achievement stage.
"Let's test the power of the Minor Achievement Flame Burst Spell."
To test the power of the Minor Achievement Flame Burst Spell, Qi Ping came to a rocky area deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Then, the Spiritual Qi within Qi Ping's body circulated, and the Beast King Flame also began to move. With a series of dense explosions, Qi Ping's figure, as if equipped with a flame thruster, propelled him rapidly to a distant position.
As the explosions continuously sounded, Qi Ping's figure moved through the rock piles at an extremely terrifying speed.
Almost every place Qi Ping passed, he would leave a scorched mark on the ground and a pile of shattered stones, which were broken by his Flame Burst Body Technique when he leveraged it.
The characteristics of the Flame Burst Body Technique were fully demonstrated at this moment: simple, direct, and full of the beauty of violence.
"Although the consumption is not small, the burst speed over short durations and distances is almost impeccable, and almost every move can be used to augment an attack."
Immediately after, Qi Ping once again used the Flame Burst Body Technique, and his figure flickered among the rocks.
However, after Qi Ping only moved horizontally for a while, his body flashed behind a huge rock. With a violent explosion, Qi Ping's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only a set of clothes in his original spot.
When Qi Ping reappeared, he had transformed into a Bee and was stealthily moving within a large bush.
Immediately after, Qi Ping's figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he was once again on top of the giant rock from before.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"The combination of using the Flame Burst Body Technique for short-distance escape, then using the massive commotion to cover the transformation into a Bee, and then stealthily escaping is excellent!"
"If combined with a dense Bee Swarm, the escape ability would be even further enhanced."
"It's just that I still need to learn a Spell to condense a Spiritual Qi robe. Otherwise, having to drop clothes every time I transform into a Bee will be troublesome. A Spiritual Qi robe would be much more convenient and could also increase my defense."
After testing the Minor Achievement Flame Burst Body Technique, Qi Ping's figure flashed again and appeared in front of a giant rock.
Just then, a fireball containing powerful pressure and explosive force rapidly smashed forward.
With a violent impact and an earth-shattering roar, the giant rock, many times larger than Qi Ping, was instantly blasted into countless fragments, and the entire ground almost rumbled.
However, Qi Ping did not just watch this attack; instead, he used the Flame Burst Body Technique, quickly appearing next to the giant rock. Facing the power of the exploding rock and fireball, he cast a Flame Burst Net, seemingly composed of countless fireballs, to block in front of him.
The moment the impact appeared, the Flame Burst Net instantly exploded, encircling that attacking force and impacting back with an even more violent explosion.
After the continuous explosive impacts, countless shattered stones were blasted into dust. In contrast, Qi Ping's figure remained motionless, and he didn't even need to use the Tree Skin Art that he subsequently cast.
The combat characteristics of the Flame Burst Spell were fully displayed at this moment.
"The Flame Burst Art attack contains powerful impact and destructive power."
"The Flame Burst Net directly uses offense as defense, elevating the destruction of the opponent's attack to a much more powerful level than the Flame Burst Art."
"The Flame Burst Body Technique also uses offense for speed, clearly integrating the characteristics of Flame Burst power into acceleration, pushing speed to the extreme."
The power of this set of Spells is undeniable!
One could only say that it truly lived up to being a Spell gifted by a Golden Core Elder to his Disciple; it was much more powerful compared to many First Order Spells Qi Ping knew.
Especially with the augmentation of the Beast King Flame, the power of the Flame Burst Spell was directly elevated by a notch.
When Qi Ping's innate fire was fused into his Spiritual Qi to cast the Flame Burst Spell, it was practically Spiritual Qi tailor-made for this set of Spells, resulting in first-rate effects.
If Meng Yan saw Qi Ping cast the Minor Achievement Flame Burst Spell to such an extent, he would surely be dumbfounded.
After all, he wouldn't have thought that Qi Ping would possess innate fire, let alone completely fuse this innate fire into his Spiritual Qi.
"The only drawback is that the consumption is too high, and it places very high demands on the Physical Body."
Qi Ping, feeling that more than half of his Spiritual Qi had been consumed and his body was somewhat stinging, couldn't help but feel a bit wry.
It wasn't until Qi Ping cast the Healing Art multiple times to heal his body that the sharp pain from inside his body and Meridians gradually disappeared.
"Indeed, excessive power always comes at a price."
This set of Flame Burst Spells has extremely strong explosive force, but it is completely unsuitable for prolonged combat, otherwise, both Spiritual Qi consumption and the Physical Body would be unable to withstand it.
If Qi Ping hadn't been continuously taking Fire Spirit Body Tempering Honey before, making his Physical Body much stronger, and if he hadn't also experimented with a Scarlet Dragon Body Tempering Honey that was effective for Qi Refining Late Stage based on the Fire Spirit Body Tempering Pill formula and cultivated scarlet dragon fruit within this month, the pressure on his Physical Body when casting the Flame Burst Spell would likely be even greater..
It's just that the Body Tempering effect of this honey is not particularly outstanding, so Qi Ping has already used a communication talisman to ask Meng Yan to help him search for Pill Formulas that enhance Physical Body strength, preferably those with Spirit Medicine that are easy to purchase.
Qi Ping didn't need Pill Formulas to increase Spiritual Qi as much anymore. Anyway, with abundant Scarlet Dragon Honey brewed from scarlet dragon fruit, cultivating to Qi Refining Perfection was no longer an issue for him.
"However, a minor flaw does not obscure the brilliance. This combat style of the Flame Burst Spell is still quite suitable for me: if I can win, I'll try my best to kill the enemy as quickly as possible; if I can't, I'll escape at light speed."
After testing the Minor Achievement level of the Flame Burst Spell, Qi Ping was still very happy.
The feeling of controlling extraordinary power with every movement was truly wonderful, and the sense of security it brought was completely different from the sense of security brought by the strength of an Animal Companion.
After testing the combat power of the Flame Burst Spell, Qi Ping quickly returned to his Cultivation state.
While consuming Scarlet Dragon Honey, he circulated the Wood Flame Art, rapidly improving his Qi Refining Seventh Realm.
He was now not far from the Qi Refining Eighth Realm.
In the two or three months since breaking through to the Qi Refining Seventh Realm, Qi Ping had either been refining Fire Ginseng Honey or higher-grade Scarlet Dragon Honey.
The effect of Scarlet Dragon Honey was only about twenty to thirty percent better than directly consuming scarlet dragon fruit, and it was much inferior to Medicinal Pills refined from various rare Spirit Medicine. However, with sufficient quantity, Qi Ping's cultivation was also rapidly increasing.
Coupled with Qi Ping's current conditions, such as the Yang Fire Body and Beast King Flame, and his partial comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire and Dao Heart Realm, he had not faced issues of unstable Spiritual Qi or insufficient Spiritual Qi control. He did not have the concern that consuming a large amount of Spirit Medicine might lead to an unstable Realm.
It was also fortunate that he obtained the spirit origin stone pillar containing abundant Spiritual Qi in the Magic Insect King's Immortal Cave, which allowed him to Cultivate First-Order High-level Spirit Medicine like scarlet dragon fruit and fire-rain flowers in Area B, a First Order Intermediate spiritual land.
However, just as Qi Ping was about to make a concerted effort to Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Eighth Realm, a piece of news interrupted his Cultivation.
Qi Ping took out the communication jade talisman given by Meng Yan from his Storage Pouch, and a message was displayed on it:
[The whereabouts of Black and White Evils have been found. Brother Qi, please come and meet me before midnight tonight to jointly kill the Demoness.]
