Chapter 1941: 2040: A Perfect Opportunity to Show Off

"I can be sure, this is indeed the Earth Spirit Fire. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Wilderness Fire, ranked thirty-seventh among the Earth Spirit Fires," Ling Baobao affirmed.

"What’s Wilderness Fire? What’s Earth Spirit Fire?" Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin curiously looked at Mu Hanyan and then at Ling Baobao, asking in unison.

When the wisp of flame appeared at Mu Hanyan’s fingertips, they keenly sensed something peculiar about it, full of curiosity, to the point they forgot they were still mad at Mu Hanyan.

"The Earth Spirit Fire is one of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, naturally nurturing itself. It innately has spirituality and can continuously grow, eventually even possessing spiritual sense, no different from Exotic Beasts, able to transform into thousands of forms. Used in alchemy and artifact refining, it works wonders, especially if it matches one’s attributes, it can even aid in cultivation and enhance combat power, truly a strange treasure in the world," Ling Baobao said smugly, swaying his head.

In this world, only he and Mu Hanyan truly understood Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, making it a good opportunity to show off.

Mu Hanyan secretly found it amusing hearing this; absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, sounded too mystical, like telling a mythological story. In fact, even a longsword can have spirituality as long as the material is of high quality and refined properly; anything can be refined into spirituality.

It is not surprising for the essence of fire to naturally nurture spirituality. According to Ling Baobao’s previous explanations, in his plane, Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire is incredibly precious to ordinary cultivators, but to true strong ones, it is not too rare. It’s just that the laws of Holy Continent differ, unable to birth true Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires.

Mu Hanyan didn’t take Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire too seriously in his heart—at least not the ordinary low-level ones—but Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin were quite taken by it.

"Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire; so, this is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. I can’t believe such a strange treasure exists in the world!" Wu Yazi exclaimed in awe.

Beside him, Zhou Jilin’s old face was also flush with excitement.

As for Family Head Gu Qingyang and Tang Feng, they already had some understanding of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, so they weren’t as shocked.

"With such a strange treasure in the world, why haven’t we ever heard of it before?" After his initial surprise, Wu Yazi asked, puzzled.

"Wait, speaking of which, I suddenly remember, the power within the Fire Storage Stone seems somewhat similar to this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire," Zhou Jisen recalled, looking a bit excited before anyone could respond.

"Right, could it be that the Fire Storage Stone really contains Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire?" Wu Yazi smacked his forehead, pulling a Fire Storage Stone from his pocket.

Mu Hanyan glanced at the two a few times, not expecting them to have done some research on Fire Storage Stone.

Gu Qingyang had spent most of his life refining Phoenix Nirvana Pills with Fire Storage Stones, knowing the method but not the principle. Yet Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin could research the power within and find it similar to Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. This proved their skill in medicine and alchemy Dao was indeed much higher than Gu Qingyang.

Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin exchanged a few glances, seeing the excitement and anticipation in each other’s eyes. Having known each other for years, they didn’t need to discuss; they reached an agreement effortlessly.

"Swish!" Zhou Jilin drew a sharp short blade over half a foot long, focusing on sensing the energy fluctuations within the Fire Storage Stone while sizing it up with the blade, evidently seeking a place to cut in.

Mu Hanyan immediately understood what they were up to, preparing to kill the chicken to get the eggs... oh no, split the stone to retrieve the fire.

"Old fellows, I suggest you stop messing around. With hundreds of millions of years of history on the Divine Continent, there have been many smarter people than you. If it were so easy to get Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire from the Fire Storage Stone, it wouldn’t be your turn," Ling Baobao was momentarily stunned before chuckling and speaking.

Hearing this, Zhou Jilin and Wu Yazi were also slightly taken aback. After pondering for a moment, Wu Yazi put away the short blade, with both showing a look of dejection.

Ling Baobao was right. On the Divine Continent with its hundreds of millions of years of history, it lacks no geniuses or prodigies. Many surely noticed the oddity of the Fire Storage Stone, and splitting the stone isn’t hard, but why are there no records about Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, not even legends?

Quite simply, the idea won’t work.

"You’re not wrong; this Fire Storage Stone indeed contains Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, but it’s only the wandering Fire Elements that have nurtured a bit of spirituality, without forming a true spiritual fire. It’s like a Beast Egg before it’s hatched; it’s either egg white and yolk or a lump of indiscernible meat. Have you ever heard of someone cracking open an egg to get an Exotic Beast?" Ling Baobao continued.

Anyway, since the two had figured out the secret of the Fire Storage Stone, there was no need to hide it. He might as well take the opportunity to show off again.

"What to do, what to do?" Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin seemed to ask themselves, rubbing their hands and in an agitated state.

If it were any other priest, they might not fully understand the significance of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, but as a master of medicine and alchemy, they knew how much possessing Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire could aid them.

In alchemy, the requirements for the furnace fire are extremely high. The higher the grade of the elixir, the higher the demands. Not only does the size and strength of the alchemy fire affect the success rate, but the purity of the alchemy fire itself also influences the success rate and the quality of the elixir.

Therefore, alchemists need to constantly monitor the changes in the medicinal herbs within the furnace while concentrating on controlling the furnace fire’s intensity, often having to inject spiritual power into the fire to remove impurities, consuming enormous mental energy unmatched by ordinary people.

This is why many doctors and alchemists have low cultivation, as too much energy is spent on alchemy, leaving little mental energy to improve cultivation. If they could have Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, alchemy would yield twice the result with half the effort. They’d save much energy and time, greatly improving their alchemy level, making once difficult or impossible elixirs easy to refine.

Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin had finally found a shortcut to the Alchemy Dao, and their inner joy was beyond words. But hearing Ling Baobao’s words, they realized they had been happy too soon. Though the spiritual fire is nurtured within the Fire Storage Stone, it has no possibility of forming, feeling like a gold and silver mountain was within reach, but not a single piece obtainable; their anxiety was understandable.

Ling Baobao didn’t answer their question but looked towards Mu Hanyan. In fact, he was also curious about the birth of this Wilderness Fire.

As far as he knew, the Holy Continent absolutely couldn’t give birth to Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, yet he didn’t know how Mu Hanyan managed it.
