Chapter 156 – Earth Lung Fire
As Han Li listened to the original reason for the old man’s words, his face remained unchanged, and he had an undeniable look on his face at these words. After listening, he gently nodded his head and said nothing as he reached out and picked up the replica jade cylinder, turning around and walking towards the passageway.
”Little friend since you want to make pills, do you want to buy some more pills ah, I’ll give the math cheaper how?” Seeing that Han Li was about to leave, the old man hurriedly marketed his goods again.
”No need, I can’t use it for now!” Han Li didn’t turn around, just waved his hand and said indifferently.
”That’s such a shame. The Dan Furnace I have here is capable of withstanding the high temperatures of the earth fire!” Seeing that the business wasn’t done, Elder Xu said with some regret.
”Earth fire?” Han Li’s figure, which had already walked to the mouth of the passageway, stopped.
”It’s the Earth Lung Fire that’s a few points more powerful than the Innate True Fire.” The old man said carelessly.
”Isn’t alchemy said to use the Innate True Fire! Can this earth fire replace it for alchemy?” Han Li tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, but his heart was thumping hard. He knew that the way out that would solve his dilemma of refining the Foundation Establishment Dan might have been found.
”Hehe! It seems that little friend is ignorant of the fact that the Immortal Cultivation World has long been using ground fire instead of innate true fire to refine pills! However, it’s no big deal, basically anyone who has refined pills once or twice knows about it. Then I’ll tell you a little more about it for free, little friend!” The old man, Han Li, seemed concerned about this and his spirit lifted, but he intentionally bit out the word free especially hard.
How could Han Li not hear the meaning in the other party’s words, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. The other party clearly told him, although said can be free to tell him, but said a sentence is free, said seven or eight sentences is also free, the difference between this is too much difference.
But this matter is of great importance, Han Li also can’t be bothered to dwell on it.
Thus, he walked straight back and said without thinking, “As long as what Elder Xu said about the matter of the earth fire is true, then I’ll just pick another Dan furnace here!”
”Hehehe! The Dan Furnace I have here is definitely of the finest quality and will definitely satisfy little friend!” Seeing that his purpose had been successfully accomplished, Elder Xu couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and smile.
”Actually, using an innate true fire to refine pills, this has long been an old story from a long time ago! Today’s Immortal Cultivation World refines pills by borrowing the Earth’s Lung Fire from the Xuan Yang Land to quench the pills. Because a long time ago, our predecessors have discovered that the earth fire is not only more pure and high temperature than the cultivator’s real fire, but also particularly long-lasting and stable, than the original real fire alchemy method of pills to improve the rate of pills, and for the refining of weapons is also equally effective. So as long as the conditions of the cultivation of immortal sects and even larger cultivation of immortal family, have their own special Xuan Yang fire land, for their own children refining, refining. Only those who are alone and really can’t borrow the ground fire of the wild cultivators, still use this kind of waste Dan rate is particularly high real fire alchemy method.” The old man shook his head and said this.
”Then this sect also has a borrowable earth fire? Does Elder Xu know where it is?” Han Li’s heart blossomed, forcing back the excitement in his heart and still asking the key in a clear and organized manner.
”Haha! ……”
Upon hearing this question from Han Li, the old man couldn’t help but laugh out loud, laughing as Han Li blinked his eyes, somewhat puzzled!
”When little friend just entered the Yuelu Hall, did you see a passageway that was not marked in any way, that passageway is the one that leads to the Xuan Yang Firelands, and if you hand over some spirit stones there, you can borrow the earth fire!” After laughing freely, the old man finally told Han Li the truth.
”Is that really the case?” Han Li couldn’t help but reveal a joyful expression, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly as he said.
”At my age, could I still lie to you as a junior?” Elder Xu said with some displeasure.
”It was a slip of the tongue on the part of the junior! Please forgive me, Elder Xu!” Han Li also felt that even if the other party was greedy for money, it would be impossible for him to fool himself on such a matter, so he sincerely expressed his modesty.
”Hmph, seeing as little friend is so young, I’ll forgive you this time!” The old man’s expression eased, but then he said with a stern face, “But the discount on the purchase of the Dan Furnace, the old man won’t give it again.”
Han Li smiled a bit bitterly at these words, this old man really did not forget to take advantage of the situation at all times!
”Isn’t it these Dan furnaces?” Han Li pointed to those large and small cauldrons on the other side’s shelves and asked.
”Of course not, those are just some ordinary goods, can only refine some inferior pills, how can withstand the scorching of the earth’s fire? The real high-quality stoves are all here!” The old man resumed his traitorous nature, smilingly patting an inconspicuous gray cloth bag on his waist.
Seeing this old man, he took off the cloth bag and looked at the open space beside him and gently patted it, resulting in a roll of green light, a row of antique-colored and peculiarly styled dan tripods appeared on the ground.
”How is it? These are all top-grade dan cauldrons from the old man’s collection, each one of them is a fine product, definitely not ordinary goods!” The old man picked up the nearest cauldron and tapped it, saying somewhat smugly.
”Not bad indeed!” As soon as these cauldrons appeared, Han Li felt the trace of spiritual qi emanating from them and couldn’t help but lightly “eek”.
But what actually made him more attentive was still this inconspicuous cloth bag on the other side, which was definitely a high-level storage bag that exceeded the storage capacity by ten times, or else it wouldn’t have been possible to fit in so many items that weren’t small in size.
”Hehehe! The old man saw that Han Li was somewhat moved, but he was overjoyed and said.
Han Li smiled faintly and did not say anything in rebuttal, slowly walking over to the side of the cauldrons and bending down to start picking them out.
”This is the Luo T Ding, it can absorb the high temperature of the flames, it can increase the rate of pills becoming pills, and it can also ……”
Whenever Han Li picked up a cauldron to take a closer look at it, this Xu Lao would be chattering and praising endlessly next to him, itching to describe each one as a treasure that was rare in the heavens and unrivaled under the earth, as if he would be profligate if he didn’t buy it right away! It made Han Li laugh bitterly.
”This is it!” Han Li said to the old man after examining each cauldron once and musing for a while, pointing to a silver-colored cauldron with the smallest head.
”Tsk! Little friend really has a good eye, this Silver Silk Cauldron is definitely a fine product amongst the dan furnaces, an indispensable top-grade magic artifact. Among all the cauldrons I have here, it is also a treasure second to none!” Xu Lao was slightly taken aback when he saw that Han Li had picked the smallest fellow, but immediately looked as normal, praising this silver tripod into a flower, his mouth full of praise.
”What does this have to do with vision? One is merely considering that the storage bag has limited space and can only fit this tripod!” Han Li thought without good humor as he listened to the old man’s raucous words.
In the end, after some haggling with the old man, Han Li bought this item at a cost of thirty-two low-grade spirit stones. Then without hesitation, he left the place.
In the short time he had been in contact with this Xu Lao, Han Li had spent more than fifty spirit stones, and even with his considerable wealth, he was still in great pain. Therefore, he was really unwilling to stay here for a moment longer, even though the other party was very enthusiastic and continued to retain him.
After exiting Elder Xu’s house, Han Li returned to the hall where the teleportation array was located, but instead of immediately teleporting out of the hall, he considered for a moment before walking along the unmarked passageway.
As a result, at the end of the passageway appeared a huge stone door blocked the way, the colorful light on the stone door flowed unceasingly, at a glance, it was known to have been cast an extremely powerful forbidden method, so that people did not dare to act rashly!
And in the stone door next to another small stone house, there is a face full of pimples ugly man inside the house. This ugly man is only the basic gong method to the top layer only, but it reveals a loving and arrogant look to Han Li, making Han Li’s heart very unhappy!
But who was Han Li? Although he was disgusted in his heart, on the surface, he looked at ease. Even though the other party only reluctantly answered one sentence after asking three, it allowed Han Li to inquire about the situation of this place and make it clear in his mind!
Then, Han Li didn’t seem to care about the other party’s rudeness and politely excused himself from the other party and left the place. But before he could take a few steps out, he heard the ugly man’s muttering voice.
”A poor man amongst the lower ranked disciples, also wants to learn from others to refine pills? Is the brain alchemized, a guy who just talks but doesn’t practice, letting the grandpa spend so much of his breath for nothing!”
Han Li’s figure, after hearing the other party’s words, did not show the slightest difference, but the face with his back turned to the ugly man was so cold that he could scrape out frost, and the killing chance in his eyes was a flash.
