Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 216 Treasure Hunt
"Do you have strange fire?"

Xiao Yan was startled, and then said as a matter of course: "You can refine the sixth-grade elixir, of course you have strange fire, but you have already refined it into the original fire, right?"

"No."

Qing Huan took out the Qing Lian Dan again and said, "It's not convenient to show it now, but this Qing Lian Dan is the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire."

Xiao Yan stared at the lotus-shaped Qinglian Pill in Qinghuan's hand and was dumbfounded.

A pill, is it a strange fire?

Qing Huan explained, “I once encountered the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, but since it already had spiritual wisdom, I didn’t refine it and let it go. As a thank you, it gave me eleven Earth Core Lotus seeds.

This Green Lotus Pill is another Green Lotus Earth Core Fire that I refined using the Earth Core Lotus Seed.

If you just want a strange fire as an alchemist... I can give it to you.

But if you need the strange fire for other purposes, I am not sure whether this Azure Lotus Fire I refined will be of any use to you."

Qinghuan had never seen the Burning Technique, so she didn't know how the Burning Technique evolved by consuming the strange fire. What exactly was being consumed?
The fire of the strange fire itself? Or the spirituality of the strange fire?
Xiao Yan said in disbelief: "You want to give the strange fire to me?"

"I refined this Green Lotus Pill!" Qing Huan emphasized, "I still have four Earth Core Lotus Seeds, which are enough for me to refine another Green Lotus Pill.

If the Qinglian Pill is of no use to you, as a reward for Mr. Yao Chen giving me the pill formula, I can tell you the whereabouts of the true body of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire, but you need to subdue it yourself.

The question is, do you need a fire that can be used to refine medicine, or a fire that is born naturally from heaven and earth?"

Xiao Yan was confused. He understood what Qing Huan meant, but the problem was that he only knew that the Burning Art needed to devour strange fire in order to evolve, but he didn't know whether this strange fire, which was refined by someone using alchemy, would be useful for the Burning Art?

And from the meaning of Qinghuan's words, it seemed that he knew something.

Yao Chen sighed and said, "Through the means of alchemy, he was able to cultivate strange fire... The means of the alchemist are truly amazing! Don't worry, let's talk about it later."

Xiao Yan suppressed his anxious thoughts and said, "Okay, teacher, we'll talk about it later."

Qing Huan was not in a hurry. She put away the Qing Lian Pill and said, "I'll keep the Qing Lian Pill for you until you make a decision."

……

At night, when Xiao Yan and Qing Huan sneaked out of the camp and returned to the cliff, Xiao Yixian was already waiting there.

Seeing the two of them coming over, he couldn't help but complain: "Aren't you too slow?"

Xiao Yan glanced at Qing Huan.

Qing Huan smiled a little embarrassedly. He was too engrossed in the conversation with Yao Chen, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's go, the treasure hunt has begun!"

The Little Medical Fairy took out the rope and asked, "Who will go down first?"

Xiao Yan said decisively: "I won't trust my back to someone I just met."

The Little Medical Fairy was indignant and said, "You... you are too unmanly, aren't you? Are you two grown men planning to let a weak woman like me take the lead?"

Qing Huan interrupted the two of them and said, "Alright, if we delay any longer it will be dawn. I will take you all down with me."

As he spoke, he made a hand gesture and the blue air spread out, covering the two of them, then flew straight into the air and fell towards the cliff.

"Ah——" Xiao Yixian exclaimed, quickly covered her mouth, and looked at her body floating in the air in shock.

Xiao Yan also looked at it curiously and asked, "What kind of method is this? I heard that Dou Zong can directly step into the void... Are you a Dou Zong?"

Qing Huan said unhappily: "Do you think I could be a Dou Zong?"

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, you are about the same age as me. If you really become a Dou Zong, I will immediately lie down and hug your thighs!"

The little medical fairy sneered at the side.

After some interruption, Xiao Yan understood Qing Huan's meaning and did not ask what this method was.

In the darkness, Qinghuan led the two of them down for a distance and then crashed directly into the cliff.

The Little Medical Fairy said fearfully, "Slow down! Slow down! We're about to collide..."

Xiao Yan also subconsciously summoned his fighting spirit.

Silently, the three of them did not hit the cliff, but accurately drilled into a cave. Qing Huan then said: "I see that your soul power is not low. Don't you know how to use soul power to sense the surrounding terrain?"

Xiao Yan said rather aggrievedly: "I don't know how! The teacher didn't teach me either."

Qinghuan suddenly waved behind him.

Xiao Yixian and the other two asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Qing Huan said nonchalantly: "It's just a rock snake. It's been dealt with."

There are a bunch of transplanted flowers and plants in the blue sky, they really need someone to look after them.

The little medical fairy said "Oh", fumbled to find two branches, sprinkled medicine powder on them and lit them.

Xiao Yan came closer and whispered, "You can easily deal with a rock snake... What is your strength? Are you really a Dou Zong?"

Qing Huan glanced at him and said, "Fighting Master."

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fighting Master, that's pretty impressive too."

Given time, Xiao Yan was confident that he would soon break through to the Dou Shi level. Plus, he had been delayed for three years, so luckily the gap in this aspect was not too big!
Otherwise, he would really lose all his confidence.

Qing Huan took the torch handed over by Xiao Yi Xian and walked into the cave first. Xiao Yi Xian followed quickly, and Xiao Yan fell behind.

As they walked, Xiao Yixian asked hesitantly, "Can one become an alchemist if he can sense poison?"

Qing Huan thought for a moment and said, “In fact, whether it is toxicity or efficacy, they are the characteristics of the herb itself. It’s just that when it acts on other life forms, it will produce different reactions... When it acts on humans, good reactions are called efficacy, and bad reactions are called toxicity.

However, people's physiques are different. Perhaps the same characteristic may be a medicinal effect for some people, but toxic for others. It depends on the person.

The wood attribute in the souls of ordinary alchemists is very weak, and is not enough to perceive all the properties of all exotic flowers and plants. They summarize the properties they can perceive and the reactions of the properties into a set of rules, which is the pill recipe.

You can also sense the properties of herbs, and perhaps you can summarize them yourself and create your own recipe."

This was the first time that Xiao Yixiang heard this concept, but she found it very reasonable. She subconsciously moved closer to Qinghuan, hoping to hear more.

Qinghuan stopped at this moment.

Without hastily exerting force on her body, Xiao Yixiang crashed directly into Qinghuan's back, which felt surprisingly fleshy.

Taking a step back somewhat uncomfortably, the Little Doctor Fairy blushed and leaned forward to ask, "What's wrong?"

Qing Huan looked at the stone gate in front of him and said, "There is no way out."

Xiao Yan, who was at the end, came around and looked at the stone door. He said, "It seems that all the good stuff is hidden behind the door. Judging from its thickness, it will take at least a fighting master to break it open... Qing Huan, it's up to you!"

Little Medical Fairy snorted and stepped forward and said, "You only knew how to use brute force. This is obviously an earth-based mechanical technique. It is not difficult to open it."

As she spoke, she groped for the stone door with her slender hands.

As if wanting to demonstrate her own value in front of Qinghuan, Xiao Yixiang was very focused and quickly found the mechanism.

Xiao Yan moved closer to Qing Huan and whispered, "This girl clearly wants to learn alchemy from you... Unfortunately, she doesn't have the fire attribute."

With a creaking sound, the stone door opened.

Little Medical Fairy glared at Xiao Yan fiercely and said, "I just want to learn alchemy, I just want to become an alchemist, so what?"

The tone is fierce.

Xiao Yan surrendered immediately and squeezed his way into the stone gate first.

The Little Medical Fairy then looked at Qing Huan anxiously, hesitating, "Can...can I take you as my master?"

Qing Huan smiled and said, "It's not like I'm your disciple. I learned everything on my own. We can communicate with each other more."

A surprising look bloomed on Xiao Yixian's pretty face, and she asked anxiously, "Even if it's not of the fire attribute?"

Qing Huan stepped into the stone gate and said, "My major is not fire attribute... Heart fire is also fire, not to mention there is such a thing as strange fire in this world."

The little medical fairy seemed to have caught what she had always dreamed of, and followed with a smile on her face.
