In a house in the middle of the desolate border city. Although it was midnight, the house was still welcoming foreign warriors to rest.
The interior of the azure house was very simple. Xiao Chen and Wan Tianxing sat across from each other at the stone table. As for the girl Zi Yuan, she was already fatigued from the continuous commotion. Her petite body was hidden under the beast skin blanket as she let out soft cries.
After receiving Xiao Chen's hint, Wan Tianxing did not hesitate. He collected the treasures on the stall and left the Ghost City with Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was in a good mood. In the Ghost City, he had obtained dozens of spiritual roots of heaven and earth. He had even obtained more than ten ancient bronze keys, the communication medium of Near and End of the World Pavilion. He had also discovered Zi Yuan, a person born with a medicinal bone. This could be said to be the biggest harvest of the Ghost City trip.
In comparison, the Bone of Wind and Thunder, the Five-colored Sky Mending Fruit, and other rare treasures that had yet to appear in the Ghost City did not arouse his interest. As for the young clan leader of the crystal division, Tuo Jingtian, and Xiao Chen, both insisted on leaving, he did not have the guts to use force in the Ghost City. He could only angrily curse and roar.
In the stone house, the lamp fueled by animal oil flickered. On the stone table, there was a medicinal wine that exuded a medicinal fragrance, and two simple dishes of vicious beast meat.
Wan Tianxing's eyes stared directly at Xiao Chen. He did not say anything, but he directly expressed his stance. He was waiting for Xiao Chen's answer. Occasionally, his eyes swept across the stone bed, and the petite figure flashed a touch of gentleness. His daughter had not slept so peacefully for a long time.
"In this world, there are many favored children of heaven and earth. From birth, they are compatible with a certain Dao. For example, the Daos of metal, wood, water, earth, and the five elements. There are also some special Daos such as wind, lightning, poison, demon, ghost, and other Daos. These favored children with innate spiritual bodies usually have limitless potential."
Xiao Chen calmly picked up the wine bottle and unhurriedly filled it to the brim. The clear color of the wine reflected the firelight. As he spoke, he filled it to the brim.
"This blood wine is not bad. It is brewed from the precious blood of vicious beasts and elixirs. Drinking a little can dispel tiredness."
However, it was obvious that Wan Tianxing wasn't in the mood to taste the wine.
"I've heard of innate spiritual bodies as well. Humans aren't the only ones with innate spiritual bodies. Even the Hundred Races have innate spiritual bodies, or even divine bodies. For example, the Tyrant Blood Daemon Body of the Daemon Race and the Ghost Race have innate spiritual bodies that are compatible with the Ghost Dao. Does my daughter have an innate spiritual body? I see violet flames of spirit emerging from Yuan 'er's body. Does she have an innate spiritual body?"
"No!
If Yuan 'er possessed a Fire Spirit Body, I would have discovered her long ago. Even if she had concealed her Fire Spirit Body, how could Great Alchemist Mu from Baize Marquisdom's Clan not notice it? "
"Besides, it is impossible for my daughter to suffer such pain. It is said that Tiantai Xuan, the Goddess of Tiantai, has a half-water Dao spirit body. Although her spirit body is not complete, she still showed great talent when she was young. Her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. She can't bear such pain."
Wan Tianxing's eyes showed that he was deep in thought. If Yuan 'er really had some kind of spirit body, she would rather not have such a torturous spirit body. Not only did she have to consume spirit herbs, but she also had to constantly consume the essence of her flesh and blood.
"You can also say that Ziyuan has a Fire Spirit Body, but that's not entirely correct. Her Fire Spirit Body wasn't formed innately. In other words, Ziyuan will definitely have a Fire Spirit Body in the future. The culprit that caused Ziyuan's body to be like this is her innate medicinal bone."
"Innate medicinal bone?"
Wan Tianxing was confused when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
"Innate medicinal bone is also a type of spiritual body. It is a type of spiritual body that is compatible with the Medicine Dao and has the potential to become a king of medicine."
What!
"Become a king of medicine!"
"That's right!"
At this moment, Wan Tianxing exclaimed. He didn't even care that the wine goblet in front of him was knocked over.
What was a king of medicine? It was not a king of elixirs after tens of thousands of years. In the Great Wilderness, a king of medicine was the highest rank in the alchemy path, second only to the Medicine Sovereign. However, the title of Medicine Sovereign only existed in the legends because there had never been a Medicine Sovereign in the Desolate Land since ancient times.
However, the King Herb had appeared throughout the years. However, there were only five of them. Perhaps they did not have the combat strength that could pierce through the heavens and the earth, but they had the power to turn something rotten into something magical. In their hands, spiritual herbs could be turned into magical pills. It was not an exaggeration to call it the creation of the universe.
"You're saying that Yuan 'er cannot control the spirit fire in her body because of a lack of elixirs and a lack of a top alchemy cultivation technique?"
"That's right!"
"You want to take Yuan 'er as your disciple. According to what you said, the alchemy cultivation technique that Yuan' er needs is of a very high rank. The most famous alchemy master in the Desolate Border Region belongs to Lord Mu of Baize Marquis. He is only a Grand Alchemist. Could it be that your alchemy cultivation technique is even higher than Lord Mu's?"
Buzz buzz buzz!
Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. Several kinds of elixirs appeared in his hand. They were all Third Revolution elixirs. The Shangqing Falling Heart Flame condensed in his palm and turned into a pill cauldron. The elixirs fell into the pill cauldron one after another.
The process was as smooth as flowing water. Spirit fusion, pill condensation. Half an hour later, the pill cauldron in Xiao Chen's hand dissipated. Three sparkling and translucent martial dao pills with three patterns appeared in his hand. They were crystal clear and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
This is!
Catching the pill that Xiao Chen threw over, Wan Tianxing could clearly sense that the essence of the herbs contained in the pill had perfectly fused together. This was a martial dao pill suitable for Heavenly Building Realm cultivators.
"I wonder if this Patriarch is qualified to be Ziyuan's master."
Wan Tianxing stared blankly at the pill in his hand. The shock in his eyes lingered for a long time. In front of him, Xiao Chen condensed the pill fire as a pill cauldron and refined a pill suitable for Heavenly Building Realm cultivators in less than an hour.
He didn't know what level of alchemist Xiao Chen was. At this moment, the only thing he could be sure of was that Baize Marquis's Grand Alchemist was definitely not as good as Xiao Chen. No wonder Xiao Chen had such a high cultivation base at such a young age. As an alchemist, everything made sense.
"Patriarch Xiao, I'm sorry to have offended you!" Wan Tianxing stood up again and apologized to Xiao Chen in a very humble manner.
Xiao Chen first took out a Seven Revolution Azure Dragon Blood Ginseng and then proved to himself that he had the strength to be his daughter's master. As a father, how could he not hope for his daughter to have a good future?
"It's fine."
"The spiritual fire in Ziyuan's body has absorbed the medicinal essence of a Seven Revolution Spiritual Herb. For the next half a year, there won't be a shortage of medicinal essence. However, it's still lacking some time to nurture a spiritual fire."
After hearing Xiao Chen's words that his daughter wouldn't have to suffer for the next half a year, Wan Tianxing's expression clearly eased up.
"I wonder if Brother Wan has heard of the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Fusion Technique?"
"Heavenly Fire Spiritual Fusion Technique!"
A trace of doubt flashed in Wan Tianxing's eyes. He seemed to be familiar with these names. "Is this the alchemy technique that Patriarch Xiao prepared for my daughter?"
"That's right!
Ziyuan is the Violet Lotus Spiritual Fire born from the innate medicinal bone. If there's enough luck, it will eventually transform into the Extreme Amethyst Heavenly Fire. "
"Heavenly Fire!"
Suddenly, Wan Tianxing's eyes flickered. He finally remembered where this familiar feeling came from. Heavenly Fire Alchemy King. A hundred and fifty thousand years ago, the Heavenly Fire Alchemy King appeared out of nowhere. He opened his cauldron in the Human Race's Ancestral Court and used his heavenly fire to refine five King Spirit Pills, shocking all the races in the Hundred Worlds.
King Spirit Pills could increase the chances of a half-step King becoming a King by thirty percent. Five King Spirit Pills were enough for the Human Race to have several supreme Kings.
After refining the King Spirit Pill, the Heavenfire Alchemy King had been ambushed by several foreign race kings on his way back to the Eastern Region. Rumor had it that the Heavenfire Alchemy King's birthplace was in a certain region in the Southern Wasteland of the Eastern Region.
"Could it be that Xiao Chen obtained the Heavenly Fire Alchemy King's inheritance?"
Looking at Wan Tianxing's ever-changing expression, Xiao Chen smiled without saying a word. The Heavenly Fire Soul Fusion Art was an alchemy art that he had found from the Ancient Medicine Inheritance that was most suitable for Zi Yuan's cultivation. It had nothing to do with the Heavenly Fire Alchemy King from a hundred thousand years ago.
The reason why he had asked Wan Tianxing about the art was to make Wan Tianxing think about it. He didn't expect Wan Tianxing to take the bait without any extra hints.
After all, having the Alchemy King's inheritance that he didn't need made Wan Tianxing feel a lot more at ease. This would also allow him to completely put Zi Yuan under his wing.
"That's right!"
Seeing Xiao Chen smile without saying a word, Wan Tianxing was even more certain of his guess. The news about Xiao Chen had already spread throughout the Great Desolate. He was merely the chief of a low-rank War Division, but in a few short years, he had led his tribe to become an existence comparable to a high-rank War Division. However, with the Alchemy King's inheritance, it all made perfect sense.
"When Zi Yuan cultivates this art, she can sense the newly born spirit fire in advance. When the spirit fire is truly born, it will be the time to truly cultivate the Heavenly Fire Art!"
Xiao Chen took out a beast skin scroll and wrote down a Cultivation Method on it. Then, he handed it to Wan Tianxing.
"I need to leave Desolate Border City for a period of time. When I'm done, I'll meet up with you and your daughter and return to Gu Yuan Tribe together. What do you think, Brother Wan?"
"I've been on the move all these years. Now that my daughter's health has been resolved, I can wait for Chief Xiao to return in Desolate Border City and teach my daughter the art."
Wan Tianxing didn't have any objections to Xiao Chen's whereabouts. As a Wanderer, he could travel the world and wait for Xiao Chen's return in Desolate Border City. Then, they could go to Gu Yuan Tribe together.
After all, his daughter was going to be Xiao Chen's disciple and would need to stay in Gu Yuan Tribe for a long time. No matter what, he had to make a trip to Gu Yuan Tribe.
