Gate of Immortality

Yang Shi came back to his quarters of Gold and Jade inn. After he entered his room, He saw three sacks were lying there silently. " Hey? Dead already?" Yang Shi kicked one of them. There was no reaction.

" Well, Pretend or not, I don't care. It's a matter of three days only, though." Yang Shi shrugged as he entered another room. He waved his hand, and the forging table appeared from thin air.

" Hmm, For normal Blacksmiths, Who doesn't have any spirit flames or Flame type martial spirit, They need to use fire cloud stones. But I don't need such shits." With a wave of the hand, Flames burst in his hands.

Yang Shi's flames are boosted multiple times by The Crimson Lily and Nine Saints Extreme Yang physique. One could see a faint white shade in the blazing red flames. That was the Yang energy.

" My flames are only enough to melt ores of low-grade Spirit Rank weapons. Hmm." Yang Shi's eye became squinted.

" Tch, It seems I have neglected to practice Great Yang Solar Flame Art. I have learned to use flames for attack But didn't think too deep about controlling them." Yang Shi murmured.

Normally, One can create a spirit flame by themselves if They a proper Fire controlling arts. But they are very rare, monopolized by powerful clans and sects.

One also needed to use their Spiritual Qi continuously, To keep the flame burning. So, whether its Alchemy or Blacksmithing, Spirt Flames, and Flame controlling arts, are necessary.

Yang Shi used the Great Yang Solar Flame art to produce a lump of flames. Then he began to refine it. He refined his flames more and more. The original size of the lump of the fire has decreased, But its power has increased.

" Now, It looks decent." Yang Shi muttered as he used the flames to ignite the furnace of the forging table.

" Let's start with the simplest ores. A chunk of Cold Iron, Grey Metal ores, and Purple stone crystal." Yang Shi threw three ingredients.

"BOOM* The flames blazed as Yang Shi tried to control them. The ores suddenly became stark rd. One could see some signs of liquefication.

" Yes!." Yang Shi became a bit excited as he saw his first attempt is going smoothly. He tried to increase power.

*" BOOM BOOOOM* But a rumbling sound started him. He saw the Purple Stine crystal exploded, oozing out the purple color liquid. The liquid mixed with Cold Iron ore and its red color became dimmer.

" NO! WAIT! DAMN IT." Yang Sh couldn't help but scream. He quickly put out the fire of Furnance. All that remained inside was a chunk of black metal with a purple hue.

" Damn, The combination was right. So why did it happened?" Yang Shi muttered.

" Hmm, The melting point of Purple Stone Crystal is relatively low. I shouldn't have increased the intensity of flames. The Purple Crystal became liquid first, But the Cold Iron wasn't. The purple liquid disrupted the Cold Iron core, and the Grey Metal acted as a catalyst." Yang Shi understood.

" First try- Failure." Yang Shi sighed. He thought he was One- In a- Thousand-year All directional genius. 

" Bruh, It's only the first try. Let's do it again." Yang Shi rolled his sleeves.

" Third Try- Fail "

" Seventh Try- Fail"

"The eleventh try- Fail."

" FUCK. ALL FAILURES." Yang Shi couldn't help but curse loudly. He tried many times, yet all he could produce are scrap chunks of metals.

" Puhahahahaha, Just who do you think you are?" A peal of laughter rang in Yang Shi's mind. It was none other than the golden egg. Yang Shi grumbled as he pretended not to hear.

" She is right. Your talents are trash." Samsara Emperor joined the fray.

" Even you? Damn, It can't be helped." Yang Shi sighed as he sat on a nearby couch.

" Cool down kid. Blacksmithing isn't any child's play." Samsara Emperor said lightly.

" Aren't you also a Blacksmith? How many try you did?" Yang Shi asked.

" I made a spirit grade weapon in my third try." Samsara Emperor said.

"....." Yang Shi became speechless.

" The main problem you have that, You can't control fire. Try to calm down. Don't think about the forge, Think about Fire. Perhaps the answer is in Divine Taichi Martial Art of Yours." Samsara Emperor said.

" Divine Art of Taichi? I thought to practice that along With Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art, But Then I completely forgot about it." Yang Shi muttered.

Yang Shi began to remember the contents of the Divine Art of Taichi.

In the beginning, There was nothing. Then the Primordial Chaos was born. Yin and Yang were created as Heaven and Earth, born from Chaos.

Yin and Yang created Ten Thousand things. If One master both Yin and Yang, They will able to grasp the origin of the Universe.

Yang is Light, Fire, Righteous, Mountain, and Hardness. It represents Male.

Yin is Darkness, Water, Evil, Sea, and Softness. It represents female.

Yin and exist without Yang and vice versa. Flowing water might represent the Yin element, But one could find the traces of Yang in the giant tidal water, which capable of destruction.

Yang might be righteous, But one could find evil Yin is in the heart. Nothing is absolute in this world.

" Yang. Fire. Fire is Origin. My flame is my creation. It's not just a tool, Its a part of me." Yang Shi stood up, With his eyes close.

He waved his arm like a flow of water, making various stances. He moved right arm in half circular motion. Suddenly, faint white gas appeared behind him.

" Yang." Yang Shi tried to feel the hidden energy of his bones. After all, His extraordinary skeleton is what granted him Nine Saints Extreme Yang Physique.

The white gas behind him became clearer. It looked like a White Koi fish. " Fire is the branch of Yang." Yang Shi clenched his fist as the Koi fish suddenly replaced by the blazing fire. Yang Shi channeled Great Solar Yang Flame art.

" Condense." Yang Shi's eyes snapped open as he condensed flames in his palm. This time, The Fire looked like a mixture of White and Orange.

" Change." The lump of flame changed into a flaming sword, then it changed into a flower.

" Absolute control over the flame." Yang Shi said.

" That kid is a late bloomer." Samsara Emperor commented.

" By the way, Why did you lie?" Hong Er asked with a smile on her face.

" Lie? What Lie?" Samsara Emperor said with confusion.

" Three tries and You made a Spirit Grade Weapon? Oh please." Hong Er smirked.,

" Bruh, I slowed down purposefully. I wanted to refine my skills to the utmost." Samsara Emperor waved his hand as he evaded from this topic.
