"The Three Supreme Transformations of Heavenly Fire?" Hearing this, both Tang Zhen and the red-robed woman beside him were momentarily startled, their brows furrowing slightly. The Three Supreme Transformations of Heavenly Fire was one of the treasures that held the Burned Flame Valley together. While it might be considered a mediocre secret technique for some, it was truly on par with a master weapon for those whose bodies harbored rare and extraordinary flames! The Tian Fire Triple Transformations can uniquely channel the latent flames within the human body, ultimately unleashing an exceptionally powerful surge of strength within a short period. Each transformation activates a distinct flame, and when combined, the cumulative strength becomes truly formidable. However, the energy released during these bursts is exceptionally turbulent; if a body lacking sufficient resilience attempts to manifest it, the energy often rebounds and overwhelms the individual. Consequently, even within the Fengyan Valley, the Tian Fire Triple Transformations are strictly preserved—only the most core disciples are granted access to the first transformation. The subsequent two transformations are awarded based on a disciple’s contributions to the valley and their inherent talent. Thus, among all the Fengyan Valley disciples, those who have fully mastered the complete sequence of the Tian Fire Triple Transformations are truly rare. Given that even the Valley’s own disciples find it difficult to achieve this full mastery, it is evident how highly the Fengyan Valley values this transformative technique. Xiao Yan stared intently at Tang Zhen, his fist in his sleeve gradually tightening. The Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation was something he was determined to secure—should Tang Zhen refuse, he would likely have to make some serious concessions. The others in the hall were equally astonished by Xiao Yan's demands. They hadn't expected him to be so demanding, especially considering the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation, an advanced secret technique that, while perhaps useless to some, held immense appeal for others. Many people from outside were eager to obtain it—this young man certainly had a wide appetite. Tan Zhen remained silent for a while, then slowly shook his head, looking at Xiao Yan and said, "The Tian Fire San Xuan Transformation is one of the treasures that has long stood at the heart of Burned Flame Valley. By tradition, it cannot be passed on to others—this rule even the Valley Master himself cannot override. Therefore, you may need to choose something else..." Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a weight settle upon his heart. It seemed he had underestimated the significance of the Tian Fire San Xuan Transformation within Burned Flame Valley. Was it truly going to have to be abandoned like this? For Xiao Yan, the Tian Fire San Xuan Transformation was almost tailor-made for him. With his diverse array of rare fires, when all three transformations activated simultaneously, his power would undoubtedly soar to an extraordinary level. Thus, he truly held firm resolve to secure it. "Master Tan, the Tian Fire San Xuan Transformation is of great importance to me. Can we not make an exception this once?" Xiao Yan persisted. Tan Zhen exhaled a long breath, waved his hand, and said, "Rock-Phoenix, my other techniques and spells from Burned-Inn Valley are no ordinary things either. For you, switching to any of them would certainly be of considerable benefit." Tan Zheng furrowed his brows, and after a moment, spoke slowly, "Fifty percent." This was his highest estimate—the medicine was different from ordinary ones, and the process of refining it proved particularly challenging. "With the unique fire used to refine the medicine, the success rate should be improved. With my assistance, it should see an even greater increase," Xiang Yan smiled gently. He wasn't boasting—he had confidence in his alchemical skills, bolstered further by his soul strength, which surpassed that of an ordinary seventh-rank alchemist by a significant margin. He was certain of this statement. Upon hearing Xiang Yan's words, Tan Zheng glanced at him with a touch of surprise, though the earlier tests had somewhat alleviated his doubts. This young man, who appeared to be only in his mid-twenties, seemed genuinely impressive. "Say this isn't meant to boast, but rather to convey to Tang Master that inviting me won't be a mistake—perhaps precisely this modest success rate will surprise you with the outcome of this alchemy process." Xiao Yan looked straight into Tang Zhen's eyes and said. Tang Zhen gently traced his fingers across the tabletop. "Is Rock Jack still unwilling to give up the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation?" "If Tang Master believes that this alchemy process is more important to you than the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation, then perhaps we might try it..." Xiao Yan subtly glanced at the red-robed goddess beside him, speaking softly. Xiao Yan's words immediately caused Tang Zhen to pause, his brows furrowed. He glanced at the red-robed woman by his side, pondered for a long while, and then slowly nodded, saying, "This alchemical endeavor is indeed of great significance to me—more important than the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation." As he spoke, Tang Zhen paused momentarily, then fixed his gaze directly on Xiao Yan, smiling, "Young friend Yan, your eloquence is truly beyond my expectations. With your words, I've actually diminished the value of the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation in my eyes. I must admit your points, yet the Burned-In Flame Valley has its own rules—something even I cannot alter." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan opened his mouth slightly, only to offer a helpless smile. After all, with such words, he had nothing more he could say. "But..." Tang Zhen looked at Xiao Yan, then suddenly changed the tone of his voice, saying, "If you truly help me succeed in completing this alchemy process, I might be able to offer you one opportunity—provided you seize it yourself. Then, the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation could also become yours." Hearing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed. Though Tang Zhen had not directly promised the Tianhuo Sanxuan Transformation to him, at least the possibility had now emerged. No matter how slim that chance might be, it was still far better than having to break ties with Burned Flame Valley. Xiao Yan had firsthand experience of Fenglei Pavilion's strength, and while Burned Flame Valley, as one of the Three Valleys, was undoubtedly stronger than Fenglei Pavilion, it would be ideal to avoid conflict with them. "Then, thank you very much, Master Tang," Xiao Yan bowed slightly and smiled. Tan Zheng waved his hand, sighed lightly, and said, "Don't thank me yet. All of this hinges on the success of the elixir preparation. Even if the elixir is successful, whether you can smoothly take away the Tianhuo Sanxuan Bian depends entirely on your own abilities." Xiao Yan nodded. He naturally understood that securing the Tianhuo Sanxuan Bian without any obstacles would essentially be an impossible task. "Since there are no further issues, I'll first ask everyone to return to their guest rooms for a rest. Chihuo..." Seeing that everything had settled, Tan Zheng gestured to the elder Chihuo. The latter immediately stepped forward, bowed politely, and smiled, saying, "Please follow me." At this, Xiao Yan and the others rose to their feet, bowed respectfully to Tan Zheng, and then followed Elder Chihuo out of the hall. As Xiao Yan and the others departed, the hall grew quiet, and the smile on Tan Zheng's face gradually softened, as he exhaled gently. "Father, are you truly going to hand over the Tianhuo Sanxuan Bian to this rock hawk?" The red-robed woman turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on Tang Zhen, her delicate teeth biting into her full lips as she spoke. "Ah, Fire-child, you should know how crucial this pill is to you. When you tried to forcibly merge the Nine Dragon Thunder罡Fire, the flames turned against you, nearly claiming your life—though you survived, you've left behind serious lingering effects. If this continues, within a year, you'll surely exhaust yourself completely." Tang Zhen's eyes shone with gentle affection. He stood up, gently patting the red-robed woman's fragrant shoulder, saying, "The success rate of my pill-making is indeed, as Rock Hawk has said, quite low. Though he is young, I'm certain he possesses real talent. With his help, I believe the success rate of the pill-making will improve significantly." "But Tianhuo Sanxuan Bian is the pinnacle secret technique of Burned-Inn Valley. Even if Father agrees, it will be difficult to gain approval from the Monastery Council..." The red-robed woman's eyes glistened with emotion, her voice soft and "I've already said this—I'm only giving Rock Jack a chance. Once he's ready, I'll treat him as a core disciple of the valley. As long as he's capable and meets the qualification standards, the Council won't object. After all, I'm still the Valley Master." Tang Zhen smiled and waved his hand. Hearing this, the woman in red could only nod, lightly biting her silver teeth, saying, "All because of that young man—he's been so demanding." "He may not be polite, but he's certainly capable," Tang Zhen chuckled. "At his age, he's already managed to tame the unique flames. That's impressive. If he'd had a strong mentor to help him, it would have been understandable. But if he's done it entirely on his own strength—that's truly remarkable." "He deliberately concealed his appearance, yet his true age must be only slightly different from what he seems—Master, I've never heard of a young seventh-rank alchemy practitioner from the Central Region appearing so unexpectedly. I suspect Rock Hawk is, in fact, a pseudonym..." "Keeping his head and tail hidden—most likely not a good man," the red-robed woman muttered, clearly resentful that Xiao Yan had insisted on making Tang Zhen choose between his alchemy duties, thus forcing him into a difficult position. Tang Zhen smiled, shook his head gently, and fondly patted the red-robed woman on the head before turning and walking toward a side door of the hall.
