Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 246: Simply Unbelievable!

“Weapon flame...”

Lou Qianxue knew that the ‘Weapon flame’ was used to refine martial weapons.

In the Xuan Tian Continent, the two most important yet scarce jobs were alchemists and refiners.

Alchemists could refine many precious and indispensable pills to heal injuries, cure illnesses, increase cultivation, and prolong life.

On the other hand, refiners created various spirit items and armors. Unlike normal weapons and armors, inscriptions were engraved on these items.

And the level of a spirit item or armor depended upon the number of inscriptions on it.

Inscriptions were one of the most magical things on the Xuan Tian Continent.

There were many kinds of inscriptions. Some were used to attack or defend, some to gather frost or fire, some to grant the ability of flying...

Their powers did not pale in comparison to pills.

Some people even said that in the Xuan Tian continent, where the strong were respected, refiners were given more respect than the alchemists.

Because, as long as people could draw powerful inscriptions and possess strong spirit items, they could seize powerful spirit pills!

Of course, conversely, a powerful alchemist’s ability to refine was also equally terrifying. After all, even the strongest and most respected person could get injured someday, and they would need the help of an alchemist.

Hence, since ancient times, there was an endless argument about who was the strongest, an alchemist or a refiner.

However, everyone agreed that both advanced alchemists and refiners were extremely powerful figures. Normal people would not dare to provoke them.

“What’s the difference between ‘weapon flame’ and ‘flame core’?” Lou Qianxue had never learned about refining weapons, so she didn’t understand.

“Actually, the difference isn’t that big. The main difference is the amount of mental strength needed.

“Compared to refining a flame core, one needs to withstand and conjure a stronger mental strength for refining weapon flames. The reason is that to draw inscriptions, other than being precise, you need to simultaneously gather the aura of heaven and earth.

“Drawing inscriptions means using mental strength to lock the forces of heaven and earth into a few strokes.

“Flame cores are mainly used to refine pills and condense the power within them. When using it, the process is not as tedious as refining weapons. Hence, it’s easier to gather flame cores than weapon flames.

“But normally, alchemists gather the ‘flame core’ using the left hand, while adding the ingredients using the right hand. On the other hand, refiners gather the ‘weapon flame’ with their right hand and refine the weapon before directly drawing the inscriptions using the same right hand.”

Gong Sunheng had worked in the alchemy union for many years, and he had taught quite a lot of people. He loved to teach, so when Lou Qianxue asked this question, he shared all the relevant content with her, explaining every single aspect.

Lou Qianxue thought for a moment and then replied, “Weapon flame?”

Then, she lifted her right hand and spread her fingers apart in the same manner as when she had been gathering the ‘flame core.’ She closed her eyes and concentrated...

Whoosh!

Without any warning, a column of blue flame emerged from her palm.

Gong Sunheng looked at the flame swaying in mid-air and became flabbergasted. “You... you!”

After his explanation, everyone else here also knew how hard it was to muster the ‘weapon flame.’ Yet, Lou Qianxue mustered it just like that... Moreover, it was clear that she had never tried it before.

She had successfully mustered the ‘weapon fire’ on her first try!

This was simply unbelievable!

Everyone was shocked!

Lou Qianxue did not find herself impressive at all.

She clapped her hands together. As she looked at the yellow and blue flames on her palms, she suddenly became interested. “If I want to become both an alchemist and a refiner, it’s possible, right?”
