Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 26 Strange Fire
Xiao Yan in the room naturally didn't know about the conversation between Ya Fei and Gu Ni, but it wouldn't matter even if he knew.

"Old sir, Yafei has prepared all the medicinal herbs for you. Is there anything I can help you with?" Yafei prepared the medicinal herbs in a short while, knocked on the door, pushed it open, and said respectfully.

"Haha, thank you very much! Please help me prepare a medicine cauldron, one thousand blood-clotting grasses, one thousand vitality fruits, and two thousand poppy flowers. But there is no rush for the herbs and the medicine cauldron, you can prepare them slowly for me, and I will come to get them next time." Yao Lao said lightly.

When Yao Lao said these words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He originally only wanted to prepare 500 portions, but he didn't expect the little guy to ask for 1,000 portions. There was no way to practice like this!

"Please rest assured, Yafei will do her best to help you prepare." Yafei said respectfully.

"Thank you very much! I have something else to do, so I can't stay any longer." Yao Lao thanked him and turned to leave.

"Old sir, let Yafei see you off." Yafei said softly, and gave a wink to Master Gu Ni.

Yao Lao didn't refuse this time. In the past, he was afraid of attracting the attention of interested parties when auctioning the foundation-building spirit liquid. This time, he didn't bring the foundation-building spirit liquid with him, so he didn't need to be too careful.

After Yao Lao left, Ya Fei turned around and asked Gu Ni: "Why did the old man ask us to prepare the medicine cauldron and so many medicinal herbs? What kind of elixir are these herbs used to make?"

"Haha, all of these medicinal herbs have good healing effects. I'm afraid they are used to refine some healing medicines. As for preparing so many medicinal herbs and medicine cauldrons, they are probably for novices to practice! Because with his status, he probably won't be able to refine so many low-level healing medicines." Gu Ni said lightly.

"Did he accept a disciple?" Ya Fei said in surprise.

"It's very possible!" said Gu Ni affirmatively.

"I wonder which lucky kid in Wutan City was noticed by this old gentleman and has the opportunity to become an alchemist. It's really enviable!" Ya Fei said with some emotion.

While the two were discussing, Xiao Yan quickly returned to the Xiao family and climbed up the cliff behind the mountain in a hurry. He pulled out an iron chain from a hidden bush and climbed down along the chain. When he climbed to the end of the chain, Xiao Yan bent his right palm into a claw shape, and a strong suction force was generated in the palm, sucking towards a cliff wall. Xiao Yan fell towards a platform like a swing.

The platform is about two and a half meters long and three meters wide, with a stone table in the middle. This good place is a natural platform specially selected by Xiao Yan, and it was expanded with an axe during the year. It is extremely convenient to practice or make pills on it.

Whether you are practicing or refining medicine, you cannot be disturbed, otherwise if you are attacked back, it will be no joke.

Xiao Yan gently took out the herbs needed for the Qi Gathering Powder from the storage ring, placed them on the stone table, and examined them carefully.

Black-Leafed Lotus: The whole body is withered and yellow, and the five leaves are like black ink. The five leaves represent its age, and one leaf grows every ten years.

Snake Saliva Fruit: A emerald green round fruit, half the size of a fist. If you hold it under your nose and sniff it, you can smell a sweet and sour taste. This fruit only grows next to the nest of a fifth-level snake-shaped monster. It is quite rare. Since snakes are yin, this fruit tends to be yin and cold. It is a commonly used medicine used to neutralize strong medicinal materials when refining medicine.

Spirit Gathering Grass: It is no different from ordinary grass leaves, except that there is a faint fluorescence at the top of the grass branch. The stronger the fluorescence, the stronger the pure energy contained in it.

Level 2 water attribute magic core: The whole body is azure blue. When placed on the stone table, it is surrounded by water vapor, which shows how rich the water attribute energy contained in it is.

Looking at the herbs on the stone table, Xiao Yan couldn't wait to whisper: "Teacher, the materials are all ready, can we refine them?" "Well, you can observe my alchemy skills and lay a good foundation in advance." Yao Lao said with satisfaction. He was more and more satisfied with Xiao Yan, and he considered everything very carefully. For example, this stone platform was prepared by Xiao Yan in advance, and the iron chain hanging on the cliff was also bought by Xiao Yan in several sections, and then melted together by him using strange fire.

Xiao Yan nodded in response. Although he had watched Yao Lao refine the medicine before, Yao Lao did not explain how it was refined, so he could only see the general idea and could not figure out much.

When Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan nod, he let out a light breath, his palm was flat, and a white flame slowly burned in the palm of his hand.

Xiao Yan saw the white flame in Yao Lao's hand, and he couldn't hide his envy. He also wanted to tame the strange fire one day, but taming the strange fire was very dangerous, and it was almost a life-or-death struggle.

Seeing Xiao Yan staring at the white flame with envy, Yao Lao also rarely talked about the origin of the white flame. He thought Xiao Yan didn't know what the white flame was.

"You can usually tell the rank of an alchemist by the color of his flame. The flames of ordinary alchemists are light yellow, and the higher the rank, the darker the color. However, in addition to using fighting spirit to catalyze flames, alchemists can also borrow fire!" Yao Lao said lightly.

"Borrow a light?" Xiao Yan asked in a puzzled tone.

"Yes, it is to borrow fire. In this vast world, there are some strange fires, perhaps the flames carried by the center of the meteorite that fell from the sky." Yao Lao explained softly. When he said this, he looked at Xiao Yan deeply. Xiao Yan was stunned by Yao Lao's look, feeling a little puzzled.

Yao Lao spoke again, "Deep in the volcano, there are lava fires that have been burned for thousands of years. These fires are much more powerful than the flames catalyzed by fighting spirit. They can also improve the quality of medicine. However, these fires are extremely violent. It is rare to see them on weekdays, and even if you see them, it is very difficult to use them for your own benefit. Many alchemists have searched for strange fires for their entire lives, but in the end they have never found them. Even if they have seen and subdued them, they are in danger of death. Most of them are burned to ashes by strange fires. I almost got burned to ashes at the beginning."

"Alas! Sooner or later I will have to face the strange fire," Xiao Yan said with emotion.

Xiao Yan was not frightened by the terrifying strange fire, because he had no choice but to take the path of recovering the strange fire. Unless he chose to be an ordinary strong man and just make a name for himself in the northwest continent, he could forget about Xun'er. Even if Xun'er liked him, she would only treat him as her first love at most.

“Forget it! Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. I didn’t come to the Douqi Continent to be a lazy guy, so what if there is a strange fire!” Xiao Yan was a little hesitant at first, but he became determined in an instant.

"You also want to possess the strange fire?" Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan staring at the white flame in a daze, with his expression constantly changing, and said jokingly.

"Of course, who doesn't want to own a rare treasure like the Strange Fire?" Xiao Yan came back to his senses and said as a matter of course.

"Haha, there will be a chance. And..." An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Yao Lao's mouth.

"And what?" Xiao Yan asked puzzledly.

"Haha, you'll know it soon. Now let's refine the Qi Gathering Powder first!" Yao Lao did not answer Xiao Yan's question.

Xiao Yan curled his lips again. It was always like this. They were trying to suffocate him to death!
