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?”
