Ji Tianyou did not immediately absorb the Black Yin Lotus Flame.
However, he suddenly thought about Lin Yue and how easily her physique had absorbed the White-Eyed Flamingo Flame.
He became curious and asked the system about it.
[Yes. Just like Lin Yue's Nine Moon Purple Divine Body, your Nine Purple Suns Divine Body can also absorb Heavenly Flames and Heavy Flames more easily.]
[The Nine Purple Suns Divine Body can absorb certain special flames and awaken additional divine abilities.]
Hearing the system's explanation, Ji Tianyou nodded.
"Fortunately it works for me too."
He took the Black Yin Lotus Flame out of his System Inventory.
The flame appeared in front of him in the shape of a dark lotus. A small black bead floated at its center, giving the entire flame a strange and mysterious appearance.
Ji Tianyou carefully opened his palm and began circulating his spiritual energy.
He slowly guided the Black Yin Lotus Flame toward his body.
The moment it came into contact with him, the dark flame began entering his meridians.
Ji Tianyou remained calm and focused on controlling the flame.
The Black Yin Lotus Flame gradually merged with his body, and a faint black glow began spreading around him.
He could feel a strange Yin energy flowing through his meridians.
Instead of resisting it, his Nine Purple Suns Divine Body slowly absorbed the energy and began adapting to the flame.
Ji Tianyou continued absorbing the Black Yin Lotus Flame.
After some time, he suddenly sensed a change within his body.
A faint image appeared behind him.
It was the illusion of nine suns, but unlike the purple suns he had seen before, these nine suns remained completely still and showed no signs of activity.
Ji Tianyou looked at them with curiosity.
Then the Black Yin Lotus Flame suddenly moved.
The dark flame rushed toward one of the nine illusory suns and slowly entered it.
The moment the flame disappeared inside, the entire sun changed.
Its color gradually turned into a bright purple.
A powerful aura spread through the room.
Ji Tianyou opened his eyes and raised his hand.
A purplish flame appeared in his palm.
Unlike the cold Purple Moon Flame that Lin Yue possessed, this flame carried intense heat.
Ji Tianyou carefully controlled it and examined its properties.
"So this is the ability awakened by the Black Yin Lotus Flame."
He could feel that the purple flame was much stronger than an ordinary flame.
After studying it for a while, Ji Tianyou looked behind him again.
The nine illusory suns were still there, but one of them was now glowing with a deep purple light.
He then focused his attention on the Black Yin Lotus Flame.
The flame suddenly gathered together in his palm.
A beautiful black lotus slowly formed.
It looked almost like a real lotus, with dark petals surrounding a small black core in the center. A faint purple glow could be seen between the petals.
Ji Tianyou stared at it for a moment.
"Beautiful."
The Black Yin Lotus Flame had a strange beauty to it.
The shape reminded him of the lotus flowers he had seen in his previous life on Earth, but the dark flames surrounding it made it completely different.
Ji Tianyou carefully controlled the lotus and watched the black flames move around its petals.
He could sense that the Black Yin Lotus Flame had completely merged with his Nine Purple Suns Divine Body.
At the same time, one of the nine illusory suns had been awakened and transformed by its power.
Ji Tianyou closed his hand, and the black lotus slowly disappeared.
He then focused on the new purple flame in his palm.
"I should test its abilities later."
For now, he decided to continue studying the changes brought by the Black Yin Lotus Flame.
His Qi had become denser and more refined.
The Black Yin Lotus Flame had slowly purified and refined his Qi, making it more concentrated and powerful.
He circulated his Qi through his meridians and noticed that it was much easier to control than before.
"This flame is quite useful."
Ji Tianyou smiled and stopped circulating his Qi.
He then looked at the next reward in his System Inventory.
It was the Tier 4 Alchemy Legacy.
Ji Tianyou took out the legacy and began absorbing the knowledge contained within it.
This time, the amount of information was far greater than the previous Tier 2 Alchemy Legacy.
It contained knowledge about Tier 3 and Tier 4 pills, advanced alchemy techniques, higher-level medicinal ingredients, flame control, pill formations, and many complex pill formulas.
There were also detailed explanations about how to refine pills at higher levels and how to maintain stability during the refining process.
Ji Tianyou realized that understanding this legacy would take much longer than the previous one.
He patiently studied the information day after day.
He spent several hours each day absorbing and organizing the knowledge.
A month slowly passed.
After more than a month of continuous study, Ji Tianyou finally finished digesting the majority of the Tier 4 Alchemy Legacy.
He opened his eyes and let out a slow breath.
"I have reached Peak of Tier 4 in Alchemy too."
His understanding of alchemy had reached another level.
He now possessed knowledge of Tier 4 alchemy and had a clear understanding of the techniques required to refine higher-level pills.
However, he still needed practical experience.
"Knowledge is only the foundation. I still need to practice."
Ji Tianyou stood up and stretched his body.
He had spent more than a month studying the legacy, and now it was time to test what he had learned.
He first went to the Heavenly Pavilion.
The moment he entered, a pavilion attendant recognized him and walked over.
"Welcome, Young Master Ji. What do you need today?"
"I need some Tier 3 and Tier 4 alchemy materials," Ji Tianyou replied.
The attendant nodded and led him toward another section of the pavilion.
The resources in this section were much more expensive than the ones Ji Tianyou had purchased before.
There were rare spiritual herbs, high-grade beast materials, special minerals, and other resources used for advanced alchemy.
Ji Tianyou carefully checked the materials.
He bought several sets of Tier 3 ingredients first.
He also purchased a smaller number of Tier 4 ingredients because he wanted to practice Tier 3 alchemy before attempting Tier 4 pills.
