Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 117 Five Elements Flame Technique

================??================

For the next few days, Cora explained all the major points about alchemy to Arthur.

She also gave him a book titled, 'Compendium of Medicinal Herbs' which had a detailed picture and description of herbs ranked from Tier 1 to 10.

Arthur didn't bother about those of a higher rank than that for now and focused on the basics.

"Good, you have memorized all about these medicinal herbs."

"With your current knowledge, there should not be anyone on this lower realm that should know more about medicinal herbs than you."

Cora commented after she tested and saw that Arthur had memorized the entire book of medicinal herbs with ease.

She made such a statement because her record was much more vast and detailed than whatever was available in the Mortal Emperor World as it also included herbs that could only be found in certain worlds.

Some of them could only grow in the upper realms, although they were ranked Tier 10 and below.

"So what next?" Arthur asked as he found alchemy to be more interesting than he thought.

In his past life, he never practiced alchemy as he focused purely on increasing his power.

"Well, the next step is to form the True Essence Flame," Cora replied.

Arthur did not speak and waited for her to say more, which she did.

"The true essence flame is to be formed by the use of a flame creation technique. The flame creation technique will require comprehension of the flame concept."

"But if one is unable to do so, alchemy apprentices will learn a Flame Control Technique after learning flame intent which will allow them to control the heat of flames when concocting pills," Cora explained.

"I understand, I already meet the requirement to learn the flame creation technique, but..." Arthur said and opened his palm.

A bright red flame immediately appeared in his hand.

"...is there any need to."

Cora was speechless, "Well, there is another set of people who had special physiques with fire properties like you. They don't need to learn the Flame Creation Technique..."

"So?"

"Although, they do not need to learn the flame creation technique, learning it will benefit their ability to create and manipulate the temperature of their flames. Just like now, you can't really control the temperature freely."

"I see."

Arthur had indeed tried to control the temperature of his flames before but he struggled with doing so.

He can easily make it hot, but to control its heat and maintain it at a specific temperature or even switch between different degrees of hotness, was something hard to accomplish.

"The flame creation technique I will be teaching you is a special one," Cora smiled. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Arthur sensed a bit of pride in her emotions and raised an eyebrow.

"This was a technique I created by myself. It mimics the Alchemic Essence Flame which is the special ability of those with the Alchemic Essence Physique," Cora said proudly.

"Ok," Arthur said with a straight face as though it wasn't anything noteworthy, which unnerved Cora a bit.

He sensed her expectation. She wanted him to praise her, but he did the opposite, and as to why he did that, he had his reason.

'She won't value what is easily given.'

Cora upon seeing that she didn't get the praise she deserves, pouted, "Don't give me that look. You think it is something easy to do. In the upper realms, I am the only genius who managed to do that."

"Okay," Arthur's tone was neutral.

"Tch!" Cora clicked her tongue.

'What's wrong with me, who cares about his opinion anyway?'

"The technique I created is called the Five Elements Flame Technique. It is a marvelous technique that is almost on par with the alchemic essence flame..."

Cora went ahead and taught the details of the flame creation technique to Arthur.

The technique creates a flame with the properties of the five elements of fire, water, wood, wind, and earth.

It was something that should be impossible to make but Cora did it.

Arthur was actually very impressed that she managed to do something like that.

She must have been an extraordinary genius that outmatched many alchemists in the upper realms.

*Boom!*

A flame exploded on Arthur's face but he got away unharmed. But the same could not be said for his clothes which got burned a bit.

'You play with fire you get burned,' Arthur thought playfully and tried to create the flame again. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"You don't have to rush it. Even I took over a year to learn it."

"I don't have all year," Arthur replied and created a flame in his hand again.

Cora didn't say anything and just watched it had only been half an hour since Arthur began to practice.

She believed if it were the normal flame creation technique, Arthur would have been able to do it in a few days at most.

But even if she admitted he was a genius she felt it should take him at least a few months of daily practice.

*Boom!*

Arthur kept trying and the flame kept exploding, but he saw that with every failure, he was getting better pretty quickly.

Every explosion was smaller than the last, and that surprised Cora to a large extent as she knew personally how hard it should be for even the best geniuses of alchemy.

'Okay, I take back what I said. He might learn this technique in just a few days...what kind of perverse speed is that?!' Cora's emotions were in disarray.

She had her pride and she had hopes that she could still hang on to her pride when it came to alchemy with Arthur.

Just as she was thinking of how long it would take Arthur to learn the technique, she suddenly noticed that she could not hear the explosions which occurred every few seconds.

'Did he give up?' She thought, a bit hopefully.

She raised her head and was shocked again.

"I did it, Cora."

"I mastered the Five Elements Flame Technique," Arthur smirked.

Above his palm floated a five-colored flame.

"Hmph! Don't get ahead of yourself. You still have a long way to go!"

'Yeah, she's vengeful alright,' Arthur shook his head at Cora's petty revenge.

"So, what now?"
