Bab 116: Hundred beast flame
Bai Yun went with Bai Mu and Elder San into the hallway. The hallway had many doors on either side of it. Unlike the shelves, there was no master catalog. Bai Yun had to go into each item individually and choose them.
Bai Yun walked up to the first doorway and looked inside it. Bai Yun saw a small cauldron sitting inside the room. The cauldron had some small cracks in it. It was obvious that the cauldron was an alchemy cauldron, but it was no longer usable.
"This is a cauldron we found in the blue moon mountains." Elder San introduced it. "It is obviously broken. But the techniques contained in making it are beyond our current knowledge. So sometimes there would be people who would come to study it every now and then."
As a god level blacksmith, Bai Yun could easily see the various intricacies of the cauldron. If it was intact he might even be interested in taking it. But it held no interest to Bai Yun now. After taking a look at it, Bai Yun resolutely looked towards the next door.
Inside the second door was a large piece of rock. It was over ten meters tall and even larger in the other two dimensions. It had a few silvery and golden veins on it. Bai Yun, immediately recognized as a rare forging material.
"Are you interested in it." Bai San asked. "This is a piece of mineral that the clan has been studying for a few thousand years. No one has been able to identify it. Do you want to take it and have a go at it."
Bai Yun knew what that piece of the mineral was. He had half a mind to explain how to use it. But he wouldn't be able to explain how he came to know of it. And even if he took it, he would be unable to process it with his current cultivation. So Bai Yun only shook his head and moved on.
Bai Yun spent the next couple of hours looking over the various items in the hallway. Over half the items that were in the hallway were things that the clan had no idea about. Most of the other items were broken or things that no one at their cultivation could use.
The more Bai Yun looked, the more he was certain that this place was not a true treasure house. Most of the items here were useless to people of low cultivation. The main purpose of this place must be to awe the young and inexperienced members of the clan.
"So how is it." Elder San asked. "Find anything you like."
Bai Yun rolled his eyes when he heard this. "I would if I could." Bai Yun replied.
Bai Mu and Elder San chuckled when they heard him. Obviously, they understood what Bai Yun was talking about.
Finally, Bai Yun could not take it anymore and just asked right out. "Is there any transcendent elements in the clan."
Elder San and Bai Mu looked at each other. "Why do you need a transcendent element?" Finally, Elder San asked.
"I have been studying alchemy recently." Bai Yun explained. "A transcendent flame would help me greatly. It would also increase my attacking abilities by quite a bit."
"You have a great talent in the martial path." Elder San said. "It is not a good idea to walk two paths at the same time."
"I am only following the alchemy path as a side path." Bai Yun explained. "I am focusing most of my efforts on the martial path."
"Well, I suppose we have a few beast flames here." Elder San said before walking back down the hallway. Bai Yun sighed and followed after him. There was no way a clan like the Bai can did not have earthly flames or even a couple of heavenly flames. It seemed as if they were determined to not give any good things to the younger generation.
Bai Yun and the rest then went back to the place where they arrived at the treasure hall. Once they arrived, the small stage lit up once again and send them to another space. The place they were in was the end of a long hallway.
"This is the place where we keep our transcendent elements." Elder San said. "If you can find one you like, you can take it."
Bai Yun looked in the first room. Inside it was a small podium in which there was a piece of dirt. The piece of dirt was blue in color and was slowly shaking. Bai Yun knew almost all of the major transcendent elements, but the thing in front of him was unfamiliar to him. Obviously, it wasn't powerful enough to be remembered.
Bai Yun did not spend much time looking at the transcendent earth. Bai Yun was looking for a transcendent flame. So he quickly left it behind and looked at the rest of the rooms.
Bai Yun started to look through the collection of transcendent elements. If it was a transcendent flame Bai Yun would enter the room and study it closely to understand its strength. With the help of the God of Alchemies legacy, Bai Yun's understanding of the transcendent flames was top notch. So he was able to easily rank them by their strength. Also, they were all beast flames and Bai Yun did not want to waste time strengthening them.
Bai Yun kept on looking through the collection. As a top notch clan, the Bai clan had a truly great collection of transcendent elements. Even though it was only low level beast elements, it was quite impressive.
Bai Yun was looking through them when he saw a small branch sitting in a room. Bai Yun only glanced at it and moved past. But then he froze and slowly turned back to the brach. Bai Yun then went into the room with the brach and studied it closely. The more he looked at it, the more he was sure of his guess.
"You like it." Elder San appeared behind him suddenly. "This is a piece of transcended wood that I found during my travels when I was young. Unfortunately, I was unable to identify it. So it has been sitting here for a long time. Do you want to change your choice and choose it."
Bai Yun's lips twitched when he heard elder San. Bai Yun was honestly tempted to collect it. That was because he recognized the brach in front of him.
The small brach was the transcendent wood nine regeneration undying wood. An extremely rare heavenly wood that was ranked sixty third on the treasured wood rankings.
The process for the birth of a nine regeneration undying wood was extremely complex. First, there had to be a tree that was struck by lightning and died. Then from it, a new sapling should grow. That should once again be struck by lightning and die. A new sapling should be born from the wreck of it. This process had to repeat nine times and at each step, the tree should die but must still have enough life force left over to give birth to a new tree. Thus this was an extremely rare transcendent wood.
The powers of the nine regeneration undying wood was regeneration. If you absorb it into your body, you would get a nearly undying body. It would be very difficult to kill a person who had nine regeneration undying wood. Due to its powers, even Bai Yun was tempted to take it.
But he resisted this temptation. He was here for a transcendent flame.
One by one Bai Yun quickly went through all the transcendent flames in the treasury. None of them caught his fancy. They were all beast flames, which were difficult to upgrade or had limited potential. Bai Yun did not want to repeatedly change his beast flame. But from the look of things he might just have to settle for a low level flame. Or maybe the nine regeneration undying wood.
It was without any hope that Bai Yun entered the last chamber. In that chamber, a weak gray flame was slowly burning. It was weak even compared to the rest of the flames that he had seen. It was more like a candle flame than a transcendent flame. But the moment he saw that flame, Bai Yun froze and his eyes went wide. The next moment an undisguised joy appeared in his eyes.
But without showing anything Bai Yun slowly walked over to the small gray flame. He then slowly asked, "What is this flame, it looks quite weak?"
"Oh, you like it?" Elder San asked.
"Just curious." Bai Yun replied.
"Honestly we don't know what it is." Elder San said. "This flame is the oldest beast flame in the clan. It was found by the founder of the clan. He could see that this was a beast flame. But he was unable to identify the type of beast that gave birth to this flame. Since then, this has been a mystery of the clan. And since no one could tell what it was and it was quite a weak flame, no one bothered to take it. Why do you want it?"
Bai Yun then understood why this flame was kept here and not in a more secure place. After all, if one did not know of the flame's true nature, it was easy to mistake it for a beast flame.
In the transcendent flame listings, which listed all the beast, earthly and heavenly flames, the top thirty was all dominated by heavenly flames. There were only two earthly flames in the top thirty and no beast flames.
The two earthly flames were the fallen god flame that was ranked first, and the billion beast flame ranked seventh.
And this small gray flame was the prototype of the billion beast flame, the hundred beast flame.
Unlike many other flames, the billion beast flame is born as a much weaker flame and had to be slowly evolved to the billion beast flame level. The flame is born as a ten beast flame, or a hundred beast flame or at most a thousand beast flame. These flames were born by the deaths of many flame type beasts and then their flames would condense together to form a multi beast flame.
And even though it called a billion beast flame, it did not mean that there were a billion different beast flames in it. It was an earthly flame that grows by devouring beast flames. And it was classified as ten beast flame, hundred beast flame, thousand beast flame all the way up to the maximum which was a billion beast flame. And it did not mean that it required a billion different beast flames to reach that level. Once the core of the fame is formed, if it is fed a powerful beast flame, a ten beast flame can jump all the up to a thousand beast flame level instantly. But if the beast flame fed is too powerful, the beast flame could devour the ten beast flame too.
And another thing that made the hundred beast flame very precious was that its birth was a heavenly phenomenon. Unlike many other earthly flames, it could not be artificially produced. In fact, it was even rarer than some of the heavenly flames ranked higher than it.
After thinking of all this Bai Yun wanted to laugh out loud. But he held back by sheer will. He could not believe his luck. Even though the hundred beast flame was was not the most powerful flame he could absorb right now, Bai Yun was confident that he could bring it all the way to the top.
"I quite like tis little flame." Bai Yun said with a smile. "Ill take it."
