Of course! He was so silly! Since the Flame Essence was able to absorb lava fire, then it could absorb other types of fires. He hadn’t thought that the Red Lotus Demonic Inflammation technique that Huo Gong had released a moment ago was a type of energy that he could have absorbed.
But now that Huo Gong had died, how could he absorb it…
“The Flame Essence shouldn’t be so excited without a good reason. It must have found something interesting…
Aware of this, Lin Ming began to probe Huo Gong’s corpse with his soul force.
Since Huo Gong had died, his soul had dissipated, so Lin Ming was able to drive his soul force straight into the body and investigate.
“Here it is!”
Lin Ming drew a dagger and picked at a part of Huo Gong’s right hand.
A red bead of burning flames immediately jumped out.
Although this bead had been buried within Huo Gong’s flesh, there wasn’t the slightest bit of blood staining it.
As the fire bead appeared, it suddenly flew up, trying to escape; however Lin Ming had already trapped it with his true essence.
Once he obtained the fire bead, the Flame Essence within Lin Ming’s Heretical God Seed became even more agitated, as if it couldn’t wait to devour it.
“Is this also a Flame Essence?”
Lin Ming looked at the fire bead and found that there was an exquisitely beautiful lotus flower carved upon it. Obviously, this was the so called Red Lotus.
“No, this isn’t a Flame Essence. This should be a Hollow Flame Essence.”
A Flame Essence was not easy to form. The only reason that the Flame Essence within Lin Ming’s body had formed was because he had the mystical secret skill, Heretical God Force, which was powerful to the extent of going against heaven’s will. It was easier said than done to find a Flame Essence that had naturally formed in nature.
There were many refiners and alchemists who had searched their entire lives for a Flame Essence and had only ended up empty-handed.
Huo Gon’s cultivation had also just barely brushed against the Houtian realm. With his cultivation, the only way that he could obtain a Flame Essence was by having a fortuitous event.
However, since he was a refiner, Huo Gong must have had a way to control fire.
Huo Gong had managed to obtain a wisp of Red Lotus Demonic Inflammation Flame. Although the Red Lotus Demonic Inflammation Flame was a high-grade flame, in the end a mere flame was still a flame; it was impossible for it to be eternal like a true Flame Essence. It would slowly wither and fade away with time. However, a true Flame Essence would never be extinguished.
If one didn’t want it to fade away, then one could only constantly refine it.
