Rise of the Alchemy God

.

Bai Yu said nothing after hearing Ethan's words and lost herself in thought, her attention focused on the blue flame floating in the sky.

No one knew what she was thinking, and after a moment of silence, she spoke again.

"You know, when I traveled with the previous owner of the artifact, sometimes she would pull things out of nowhere, things she clearly didn't have before," she said and then continued.

"She told us that it was the artifact that produced these things in times of need when it was difficult to obtain them.

Back then, I wasn't sure if she was telling the truth. After all, she was a person who, despite being talkative, hid many things. But now, seeing the same thing happening with you, I'm starting to think she was telling the truth." Her voice had a hint of melancholy.

Ethan, hearing this, couldn't help but wonder if the previous owner also had some kind of system.

After a while, Bai Yu said, "Anyway, now that one of your biggest problems is solved, it's time for you to awaken your physique and officially embark on the path of cultivation."

Ethan smiled and nodded, as if he had been waiting to hear these words for a while.

"Right now, you have the rare flame, but you haven't bound it to yourself yet, so it's as if you don't have it at all.

Just like you did with the artifact, try to connect to it using some of your spiritual energy.

Rare flames, if compatible with a person, can form a bond with them; otherwise, they will reject the bond.

There have been many cases in the past of cultivators who failed to obtain a spiritual flame even though they were compatible with it due to the flame's will, but in your case, it should be fine.

This flame is still of a low grade, so it hasn't fully formed a consciousness yet," she said.

Ethan understood what she meant and did as she said.

Focusing, he created a thread of spiritual energy and sent it toward the flame.

The blue flame, which was orbiting the urn, stopped and moved toward the spiritual thread that was coming toward it, as if it were a child attracted to a toy.

It floated slowly toward the thread until it got close enough, then began to wrap around it, as if evaluating it.

Then it started intertwining with the thread of spiritual energy that Ethan had sent.

He felt a wave of heat as the flame began to merge with his energy.

The connection deepened, and he could perceive the essence of the flame entering his body.

It was an overwhelming sensation, but Ethan gritted his teeth and focused on maintaining the bond.

Bai Yu observed closely, silently, letting Ethan manage the process. The blue flame gradually integrated into Ethan, and he could feel its power spreading throughout his body, igniting his dormant potential.

As the blue flame intertwined more deeply with the thread of spiritual energy, Ethan's body began to react.

He felt an overwhelming wave of heat spreading through every fiber of his being.

Every cell seemed to wake up, vibrating with new energy.

Outside his sea of consciousness, Ethan's body began to visibly heat up.

In no time, his entire body was drenched in sweat, making his clothes slightly soaked.

However, his body temperature didn't stop rising and continued to increase.

The sweat that had formed on his skin began to evaporate almost immediately, creating a thin vapor that rose from him.

The room's temperature rose rapidly, and an aura of heat surrounded Ethan, like an incandescent halo.

Then, with a small boom, a wave of energy was released from his body, causing the room's walls to shake and everything inside to be thrown into disarray.

Books fell from shelves, and the few pieces of furniture he had shifted slightly.

Da Shu, who was in the kitchen finishing his meal, was startled by the sudden noise and nearly fell off his chair.

Inside Ethan's sea of consciousness, the blue flame was completing the fusion process.

Every fiber of his body was soaking up the flame's energy, and he could feel something sealed within him awakening.

The barriers that had prevented his cultivation until then began to crumble, allowing spiritual energy to flow freely.

At that moment, an oily black liquid began to ooze from Ethan's skin's various pores.

As the flame fully integrated with him, Ethan felt a powerful wave of strength surging through him.

His constitution was finally emerging, transforming him from within.

The "Heavenly Body of the Sacred Flames" was awakening, bringing with it a power that Ethan had never experienced before.

The heat began to stabilize, and Ethan's aura grew increasingly bright and intense.

His body glowed with a blue light, a visible sign of the change happening inside him.

After a few moments, the fusion process was complete. The blue flame now resided within him, its energy circulating through his meridians.

At that moment, outside his sea of consciousness, Ethan opened his eyes.

His eyes shone with a faint blue light before returning to normal.

Ethan exhaled lightly, his mind becoming clear.

He had a calm and relaxed expression, as if he had just had a good rest and awakened full of energy.

"I've finally become a cultivator."

FRANK_LEE_JUNIOR:

Haa, finally, after 32 chapters, our MC has officially become a cultivator.

I know, just like the system, this has come a bit late, but personally, I prefer it this way.

Now that we have almost all the initial elements of the plot ready, I'd say we can proceed with the main course.

As usual, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. If not, tell me what you didn't like about the novel so far and how I could improve in the comments section.

Oh, I almost forgot, I'm increasing the daily time I dedicate to writing to prepare some extra chapters for a little mass release.

Consider it my way of thanking you for all the support and patience you've shown towards me and my novel.

I'm trying to improve as much as I can every day, and I hope that in the not-too-distant future, I can give you chapters that satisfy both you and me.

See you tomorrow with another chapter.
