Chapter Forty-Eight: The Emperor of the Alien Fire Land

Shi Yan didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but he felt that his whole body was warm after this sleep, and the warm feeling made Shi Yan's body completely relaxed, and he slept very well.

When Shi Yan opened his eyes again, several fire spirit rats around him were lying there quietly looking at him, Shi Yan was startled at first, and then calmed down after a while, remembering that these little mice themselves were on fire. Shi Yan was surprised to find that he fell asleep without clothes, but even so, he didn't feel cold this night.

"You, you, aren't you sleeping comfortably?" There was a sound of silence coming from within the ring.

"I slept very well," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"This group of fire spirit rats is afraid of freezing you, so they come to warm you in batches, and each time there are more than a dozen of them around you, controlling their own flames, and baking your sleeping place warm," said Zhu Jing.

"I see, I said, it's not cold at all," Shi Yan said.

Shi Yan looked at the fire spirit rats around him, they were not big, Pucci was only 40 centimeters when he straightened up, and this group of fire spirit mice was only half as tall as Pucci.

"Thank you," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Squeak~" The fire spirit rats retreated after a few calls.

"Puff~" Pucci saw Shi Yan wake up and jumped out of the fire spirit rat, to Shi Yan's surprise, the fire spirit mouse and Pucci stood together, and the flames on his body couldn't burn Pucci in the slightest.

"Aunt Jing, there seems to be some mystery in their flames," Shi Yan said.

"Yes, I also found out when you were sleeping, Pucci was with them, this group of fire spirit rats actually made it possible to make the flames not hurt Pucci, it seems that what is recorded in the "Alien Beast List" is true" Zhu Jing said.

"Huh? What do you say in the list of strange beasts," Shi Yan said curiously.

Record: The fire spirit rat is a branch of the descendants of the ancient beast fire spirit weasel rat, which has survived on the continent for tens of thousands of years and is a kind of alien beast that lives in groups. According to records, practitioners in ancient times liked to domesticate a fire spirit rat with them, because the fire spirit rat lived underground all the year round, and often found the bones of some ancient beasts and the earth fire fire, the reason why the fire spirit rat was clothed in flames was because their ancestors had the ability to control the earth fire after inhaling the spirit of earth fire.

"Aunt Jing means that the flame on the fire spirit rat is earth fire?" Shi Yan was surprised.

"Yes, the reason why the powerhouses of the continent like it is mainly because their spirituality is second only to the mountain spirits, and some people call the fire spirit rats goblins," Zhu Jing said.

"Huh? Isn't that fire very powerful? Why can't you kill the birds? Shi Yan was puzzled.

"This is going to be detailed, earth fire is the general term for all different fires, and it is also the source fire of all different fires, of course, some people like to call it spiritual fire. There are many kinds of different fires, some are strong and some are weak, if you want to control the different fire, you must first extract the fire spirit of the different fire and fuse it with your own soul, the soul power of the fire spirit mouse is already very weak, and the flames that can be controlled are naturally limited. What's more, the ancestor of the Extinction Bird is the 'Hurricane Winged Bird', which is an ancient beast that once absorbed the 'Wind Spirit', and the Fire Spirit Mouse is naturally no match for it," explained Zhu Jing.

"Aunt Jing, I only heard you say that there is a fire spirit in a different fire, why did a wind spirit come out again? Is there a thunder spirit? Arus asked, waking up.

"For the sake of you being so studious, I'll make an exception" The surrounding air fluctuated slightly, and gradually appeared in front of the two.

"Is it helpful for cultivation?" asked Shi Yan.

"Of course," said Zhu Jing with a smile, "Although people often say that this day is thunderous and fire, but except for those who have reached the realm, almost no one has seen it, our ancestors once recorded these phenomena and cultivation experiences in all kinds of scrolls, but it is a pity that after so many years, many precious scrolls have been lost" Zhu Jing regretted.

"So what?" Shi Yan asked.

"Xiao Yan, do you know the Red Flame Earth Emperor?" Zhu Jing asked suddenly.

"I don't know," Shi Yan shook his head.

"I know," Arus said suddenly, "I know, I've also heard from others, the Red Flame Earth Emperor was originally just an ordinary demonic beast, it should be a giant snake, and later became the ruler of the Strange Stone Forest, and the Stone Country once fought with it, and it is said that it was killed."

"Okay, you are stronger than Shi Yan, the Red Flame Earth Emperor is actually not dead, the rock army of the Stone Country had no way to destroy it back then, it is said that this Red Flame Earth Emperor absorbed two different fire spirits, 'Different Fire Red Flame' and 'Different Fire Earth Emperor', and the Red Flame Earth Emperor was also named after this" Zhu Jing said.

"Oh?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"Later, because it possessed two different fires at the same time, and the two different fires complemented each other, its strength increased greatly, and it had reached the point of immortality of the soul, so it dominated the strange stone forest, so that humans could not completely kill it at all. However, a mountain is still a mountain high, and at the last moment, a peak powerhouse named Shi Xin suddenly appeared, he held a dragon bone sword, and with the power of one person, he beat this Chiyan Earth Emperor with the power of one person, not only destroying its body, but also sealing this Chiyan Earth Emperor at the cost of lifelong cultivation" Zhu Jing said.

"Shi Xin, that person is also surnamed Shi? Is it your relative? Arus looked at Shi Yan and said.

"Coincidentally, there are more people with the surname Shi, besides, how can it be my relatives who are so old?" Shi Yan said.

"It's okay to say it's a relative, but in fact he's your ancestor," Zhu Jing said.

"Ah~" Shi Yan and Arus's mouths opened wide in shock, and their tongues came out.

"After you two go out, don't talk nonsense, it's a secret," Zhu Jing said.

"Secret? Senior brother, I'll go to you, you don't know about your own family, I serve you," Arus said.

"No, how come I've never heard of it, no one told me, my ancestor? Aunt Jing, you're not lying to me, are you?" Shi Yan said as he looked at Zhu Jing.

"Why did I lie to you, your father took you away in the first place to continue the mission, in order to pass on the sealing secret technique to you when you awakened, besides, how can you talk, auntie, can I lie to you" said Zhu Jingqi.

"This story is thrilling to listen to, it's really 'the tiger ancestor has no dog offspring', it turns out that the ancestors of the old Shi family, there are such bullish characters, I finally know why you are so powerful" Arus said.

"How can I listen to you, I think it's weird," Shi Yan said as he looked at Arus.

"Admire, admire," Arus said, clenching his fists.

"What do you admire me? It's not me who sealed the Red Flame Earth Emperor," Shi Yan said.

"I admire the ignorance, such an important thing, your mother's family knows that you don't even know? Alas?? Is it that the strong were like you when they were young? Arus looked at Shi Yan and said.

"Okay, okay, don't be poor both, I mainly want to tell you that after absorbing the fire spirit, it is indeed very powerful, as for the wind spirit and the thunder spirit, tens of thousands of years of gathering wind treasure land, tens of thousands of years of thunder pool treasure land, etc., may have special spiritual power, these spiritual power is called the spirit of the elements, but among the spirits, the fire spirit is the first to come out, and the world only knows one, but does not know the other" Zhu Jing said.

"Then how did we get these fire spirits, wind spirits?" Shi Yan asked.

"I don't know," said Chai Jing.

"Don't ~ know ~ Dao??" Arus exclaimed.

"Aunt Jing, are you going to make fun of us? I don't know if it's the same as the real thing? Shi Yan said.

"Please, I don't want to tell you so early, didn't you ask me, I also saw these elemental spirits from books, although I haven't seen anything else, but I have seen fire spirits that humans absorb strange fires" Zhu Jing said.

"Who?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"My brother, that is, your uncle, once inadvertently obtained an earth fire named 'Canglan', and he also took the risk of his soul to absorb a trace of its fire spirit, and after fusing the fire spirit and soul, he has the ability to control the vicissitudes of fire," said Zhu Jing.

"My uncle? So is he also immortal? Shi Yan asked.

"Not yet, you have to know that no matter what kind of alien fire it is, it is generated by gathering the spiritual power of heaven and earth for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, although your uncle only absorbs a little, but it is enough for him to digest in this life. Besides, it is risky to absorb the spirit of different fire, and before it is fully integrated, if your soul power becomes weaker and you can't suppress it, you will be counterattacked by the fire spirit. But that kind of situation usually doesn't happen, and as long as it's properly controlled, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages for the practitioner," said Zhujing.

"Then why doesn't Aunt Jing suck a little?" Shi Yan asked.

"You're sick, and I don't have the best fire attribute in my body, why are you sucking it? Earth fire is only for people with extremely strong fire attributes, and there is no best attribute as a basis, what can you do to control the different fire, besides, you think the different fire is so easy to find. It's easy to say, but it's harder to find a fire spirit than to get promoted. Since your uncle learned about the power of the alien fire, he strictly forbade cultivators to absorb the alien fire casually, and if they were not careful, they would be burned and even a single hair would be lost," said Zhu Jing.

"Oh~ Can Aunt Jing absorb wind spirits?" Shi Yan asked.

"This, you can try it, but you must also be completely prepared, at least there must be a few Venerable Dharma protectors, your uncle was in a special situation back then, so with the help of Yao Zun, he called on the strong people of the mainland to come to help, and there was a casting master for him to build a 'beam of fire platform' to restrain the earth fire, and various factors combined to ensure that the probability was higher than half of the first, and your uncle began to absorb the spirit of the waves" Zhu Jing said.

"Huh? It's so troublesome," Shi Yan glanced at and pouted.

"Aunt Jing, which elemental spirit is the strongest?" Arus asked.

"It's hard to say, in fact, in terms of strength, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder have their own strengths, just because the pharmacist and the casting master are noble, so the earth fire has attracted more attention, and the fire spirit has always been ranked in front of the spirit of other elements, the most important thing is that the earth fire is actually the flame of the slurry fire, and the change of the bottom shell makes many ores and spirit stones with spiritual power calcined by the pulp fire, and the so-called calcination is actually extraction, the extraction process is relatively slow, less than thousands of years, more than tens of thousands of years, after extraction, it becomes a different fire with spiritual power. The Canglan Fire is actually obtained after many years of extraction from some kind of stone with water elemental spiritual power on the bottom of the sea that has come into contact with the earth fire," said Zhu Jing.

"I'm gone, a cultivator is only a few hundred years, and an earth fire is thousands or even tens of thousands of years," Arus said.

"I see, if only I could have an earth fire," Shi Yan said with a smile.

~~~~~

With a 'whew', a burning animal skin flew in front of Shi Yan not far away, startling Shi Yan. I saw Pucci screaming not far away'poof~poof~'. It turned out that he had just played with fire and burned off a piece of the hair behind Pucci, but fortunately, the fire spirit mice were in a hurry and instantly absorbed the flames on Pucci's body, so that Pucci escaped.

"Pucci, are you okay" Shi Yan pulled Pucci over, only to see Pucci looking at Shi Yan with tears in his eyes, very aggrieved.

"Puff~" Pucci cried softly.

"No, isn't it true that the flames of the Fire Spirit Mouse can't hurt you? How did you get burned? Shi Yan said curiously.

"Puff~" Pucci screamed, pointing to the burning hides on the ground.

"I've smelled Pucci from it, it's okay Pucci, I'll help you get revenge," Arus ran over and laughed.

Seeing Arus pick up the dirt and pour it on top of the burning animal skin, Shi Yan understood that it must have been after the animal skin was set on fire, unlike the fire spirit rat that could freely control the fire, causing Pucci to be burned off a large piece of hair.

"Isn't that right?" Arus said, looking at the hides on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yan asked.

"Why is this hide so similar to the one you bought earlier, and~" Arus said.

Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Pucci was too playful, since he burned 110 copper coins like this, just when Shi Yan wanted to reprimand Pucci, he suddenly found that the animal skin covered by the soil on the ground was still burning, and a yellow flame jumped out of the soil and jumped on the soil.

"What is this? How can there be a yellow flame? Shi Yan said curiously.

The yellow flames were evenly spread over the hides, and the rows of small flames burned very evenly, each cluster of small flames seemed to be alive, standing on the dirt and burning quietly.

It turned out that after Shi Yan fell asleep, Pucci was hungry and ran into the ring to find something to eat, but unfortunately the gold sore medicine was eaten, and only a piece of animal skin could be gnawed on a few bites of everything. When Pucci took out the hide, all the fire rats were startled and fled, and it took a long time before they slowly approached the hide. After the fire spirit rat at the head smelled the animal skin, he saw that the flames on its body were getting stronger and stronger, as if he was challenging this animal skin, and after the 'squeak~', a flame sprayed into the animal skin. After the animal skin was calcined by the flames, since it resonated with the flames, yellow flames burst out from the animal skins, and the red flames sprayed by the fire spirit rats suddenly triumphed, and after a long time, the red flames disappeared and were replaced by small clusters of yellow flames.

"Earthfire?" Zhu Jing looked at the yellow flames on the ground and said in surprise.

Shi Yan and Arus were stunned when they heard Zhu Jing's words. The three of them discussed the earth fire for a long time, and the things that could only be formed in tens of thousands of years appeared in front of the three of them.

"Aunt Jing? Didn't you say that earth fire is rare? How did it appear on a piece of animal skin? Shi Yan asked.

"Yes, this yellow flame may be the flame produced when the animal skin is burning, how does it have anything to do with the earth fire?" Arus said.

"Look closely, the skin was activated to protect the skin after being exposed to the foreign flame, and although the yellow flame was burning, the skin was never burned out," said Zhu Jing, pointing to the skin.

"This is Earthfire?" Shi Yan looked at the yellow flame carefully and said.

"Shi Yan, how did you get this hide?" Zhu Jing asked.

"I know, I know, when it comes to this hide, and the furnace and the hammer, it's going to be a big deal at auction," Arus said.

"Go, go, shut up, I bought this animal skin from the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce in Flower Street," Shi Yan stopped Arus and said to himself.

"The Gu family? Do you remember what the people who sold you looked like? Zhu Jing asked.

"I don't know what she looks like, she wears a dark yellow cloak, because her cloak is different from other vendors, I remember it very clearly, I also know that she is a girl, I don't listen to the voice of a very old, I took the bamboo skewer from her hand to auction," Shi Yan said.

"The dark yellow cloak, that is the color of the eight major families that represent the Gu family, the girl you are talking about is very likely to be Gu Xinyue, one of the ten young masters, if you get something from her, it won't be wrong" Zhu Jing said.

"Ancient Crescent? Ten young masters? Eight families? Shi Yan said.

"Didn't you say that earth fire is rare? How can this be found on any piece of animal skin," Arus wondered.

"I can only say that Shi Yan's luck is indeed very good, to be honest, even if I have been in the ring for so long, I never knew that there was a fire spirit in this animal skin, if it wasn't for the fire spirit mouse to feel it, maybe we would never know that there was an earth fire in our hands for the rest of our lives," said Zhu Jing.

"Oh my God, Aunt Jing, what now?" Shi Yan asked.

"You ask me, I don't know, this yellow earth fire is the first time I've seen it, if it's in the national capital, maybe there is a way, but here, we can only watch" Zhu Jing said.

"After a long time, it's useless to get the ground fire, is it possible that it can only be used for warmth?" Arus said.

"Aunt Jing, do you know the origin of this earth fire?" Shi Yan asked.

"That's going to be found in the Alien Fire List, although I haven't seen any record of it, but I guessed a little, but I need to verify it," Zhu Jing said.

"How do you verify it?" Shi Yan asked.

I saw Zhujing call Pucci over, muttered a few words in Pucci's ear, Pucci's ears moved, nodded, and ran to the middle of the group of fire spirit rats, 'Puff~Puff~', as if communicating, fire spirit rats, you look at me, I look at you, and finally nodded and walked towards the animal skin.

"Squeak squeak~" shouted, only to see a few slightly larger fire spirit rats on the surface of the flame soared, the flame seemed to have life, began to continue to gather towards the animal skin, when the flame of the fire spirit mouse and the yellow flame contacted, 'whew~', this flame suddenly became huge, the fire was sheng, the roasted Shi Yan and Arus hurriedly retreated, seeing that the flame was about to get out of control, the other fire spirit rats have absorbed the huge flame and ate it.

"What's the situation? How did this flame become so strong? Shi Yan exclaimed.

"One of the strange fires that the Red Flame Earth Emperor absorbed back then, in addition to his own high temperature, helped to increase the divine effect of other earth fires. The reason why it is so powerful is that these two earth fires complement each other, the power of the Chiyan Spiritual Fire is already great, and with the help of the Earth Emperor Spiritual Fire, the power has increased by nearly 1 time, and this multi-different fire may be the 'Earth Emperor' of the different fires" Zhu Jing said.
