Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 025 - Types of Magic

The main requirement in order to be able to study the Alchemy Dao to a higher level and become an Alchemist was that one must have fire and wood elements in the spirit root.

However, this is a common condition. Some lucky people who are born with pure spirit roots with fire or wood elements can also experience alchemy. One of them is Meirong.

This beautiful woman studied alchemy not long after she had managed to reach the Soul Realm. After hundreds of years passed, he finally had a disciple and taught him alchemy.

Yao Han had already been told that to make pills required a special fire called Alchemy Flame.

"The alchemist made pills in a furnace, but hundreds of years ago I managed to find a way to make pills without a furnace."

Yao Han did not immediately understand and was still digesting Meirong's words, at the same time Feng Xian commented.

"Oh, can you make pills without a furnace? Interesting." feng Xian's voice sounded a little enthusiastic.

Meirong explained that at the beginning of her study of alchemy, she had met Chen Long. There was not much talk between the two back then, but the man nicknamed Southern Dragon said that Feng Xian could make pills without a furnace.

This prompted Meirong to do the same. A hundred years of research, he managed to make his formula.

"That old dragon told you? Hm.. his mouth is quite leaking as well, but it doesn't matter." Feng Xian asked Meirong to show him his Alchemy Flame.

Meirong coughed softly hearing Feng Xian's slur against Chen Long, then he raised his right hand. After taking a deep breath and focusing for a few seconds, popped out a fireball on his right palm.

Yao Han observed the fireball enthusiastically. The color is reddish purple, there is a slight golden color on the red color.

"So this is an Alchemy Fire? Unlike the fire, yes..."

"Akemi fire is usually purple. However, there are some that are a little different. Due to the formula I created and my special condition, the color of my Alchemy Fire is like this," Meirong said in response to Yao Han's enthusiasm.

"You learned alchemy from Xiao Rong, then your alchemy fire will also be the same as him. Except for that golden color," Feng Xian said.

"What about Teacher Feng's Alchemy Fire?"

Feng Xian showed a fireball that was smaller in size than the one Meirong showed.

"The Heavenly Silver Fire!"

Meirong and Yutian screamed in recognition of Feng Xian's Alchemy Flame, their eyes widened and their faces showing shock, subconsciously taking two steps back.

Yao Han was surprised by the reaction of his two teachers, although he was stunned by Feng Xian's purple-colored Alchemy Fire.

"Is there something wrong Teacher Hong?"

"Han'er, among the Alchemy Fire types ever recorded in history... The Heavenly Silver Flame could be said to be the strongest Alchemy Flame beyond even high-level fire magic. Not only able to physically attack, but also able to burn out the soul of a target. The best, strongest, and most dangerous type of alchemy fire ever."

Yao Han's mouth was rounded, he was further stunned after hearing Meirong's explanation, while Feng Xian laughed softly at their reaction. The silvery purple flame was indeed small in size, but it emitted a heat stronger than the Meirong fireball.

Meirong managed to calm himself down, "Senior, I haven't given a name to my alchemy fire formula, can you help me give it a name?"

Feng Xian raised an eyebrow, it felt like he heard something ridiculous, but he replied, "Your other form is the Phoenix.I then I give the name of the Fire of the Fenix Furnace."

Meirong nodded slowly and smiled faintly.

***

Before taking down his alchemy fire formula, Meirong told him about Magic Dao. Hand spells in a cultivator's world were usually used to activate Magic Dao.

For example, Meirong with pure fire element spirit root made him perfectly learn and use all kinds of fire magic, ranging from low to high level.

Meirong raised a small fireball on her right palm, this time it was golden red.

"This is the Phoenix Flame. You've read myths about the Phoenix, surely you already know the advantages of the Phoenix Flame, right?" Meirong smiled meaningfully.

Yao Han nodded slowly, he knew the Phoenix Flame could be used to attack as well as heal.

Other than Elemental Magic, there was also magic learned by cultivators from Dao Beasts. This animal was a spirit beast that lived in the pocket dimension and could not appear on the Blue Moon Continent for granted. They would appear if summoned after establishing a blood contract with a cultivator.

"I once had a Dao Animal, but he was long gone. His form is my current form" said Yutian. Yao Han could see there was sadness in Yutian's smile.

The all-green man then made a hand spell, then appeared a few quite large snakes wrapped around his body. The snake was made of Qi and contained poison.

In addition to these two types of magic, there are also Demon Magic, magic that can be learned with the help of stealth gems. Cultivators who study magic like this will lose their humanity, both in nature and body shape.

"They are called Demon Cultivators and are black-flowered..."

Yao Han felt disgusted to hear that. The same feeling was felt by Meirong, even Yutian despite being equally black.

One type of powerful Dao Magic is Soul Magic, which can affect, control, or worst is injuring the soul.

The Heavenly Sense was also part of Soul Magic, but the extent to which its power could be expended depended on the strength of the cultivator's soul.

Soul Magic can also create illusions, read or control thoughts.

"There was another one that was as powerful as Soul Magic, that was special Dao Magic that was only influenced by bloodline. Besides being strong, it is also unique and extremely rare." Yutian added.

"Ah, yes it is. It's a troublesome magic to deal with."

After imparting the basic knowledge of Dao Magic, Meirong taught fire element magic.

"Making Alchemy Fire is harder than making ordinary fire magic. Therefore, you should at least master the simplest fire magic first, just like the fireballs I made before."

The fireball Meirong showed was not only the simplest, but also became the basic magic for any kind of fire magic.'

"I'll show you one thing that'll surprise you, Han'er..."

Meirong stood up and took a distance, then clenched his palms together. Instantly his entire body was enveloped by the Phoenix Flame.

Note:

Meanwhile I could only find the terms Magic Dao, Magic Demon, and Dao Animal to replace the English terms Daoist Magic, Demon Magic, and Dao Beast.

Then there are two choices of terms as pronouns Pill Flame (Fire Pill), namely Alchemy Fire and Fire Furnace. The temporary choice fell to the term Alchemy Fire.

Perhaps the reader can provide input related to more appropriate terms in the comment field. If you can't, no problem.

Hot and cold greetings from the author.
