When he returned home, the housekeeper Fuber told him that the lord and his wife had been looking for him for a long time. [No pop-up novel network] asked him to go to the study as soon as he returned home.

Song Li hurried to his father's study again, and heard his mother Yun Lin's worried voice from afar: "Where did you say this child went, could it be that he went to Langya Mountain?"

"Impossible, what is he doing in Langya Mountain for no reason?" The father comforted: "This kid has been in retreat for so many days in alchemy, maybe he is bored and panicked, and he went out to play with them." ”

"No, no, I've come to Li'er several times, and you weren't there at the time, I said that Li'er went out, and he was very strange. The mother became more and more anxious, "You said that you are a father, you don't care about it, there is such a big thing near the imperial capital, how can you run around." What to do if you get hurt. ”

Hearing his parents' words of great concern, Song Li's heart was filled with a strong sense of warmth. With a smile on his face and a leisurely and brisk step, he went into the room and called out, "Dad, Mama, I'm back." ”

Hearing their son's voice, Haijun Wang and his wife turned around in surprise as if they heard the sound of Xian Le Lun, and rushed to Song Li's side together, one grabbed his left shoulder, the other grabbed his right shoulder, and asked almost in unison: "Stinky boy, where are you going?"

"Wow, you two really have a tacit understanding, you deserve to be husband and wife. Song Li couldn't help but whistle.

Yun Lin accurately pinched the soft flesh under Song Li's ear with one hand, then twisted it lightly, glared and said, "Don't play poor with the old lady!

"Hey, it hurts mom, tap it," Song Li pretended to be in pain every time his mother twisted his ears, screaming earth-shatteringly, he said while feeling weak: "I went to Langya Mountain." ”

"What?" At this time, even King Haijun couldn't help but jump.

"You dead boy, do you dare to go to such a dangerous place as Langya Mountain?" Yun Lin was really angry this time, so the strength of her hand to twist her ears began to increase.

Song Li grinned and said, "Langya Mountain has beautiful scenery and is one of the top ten wonders of the Holy Lion Empire. How can it be dangerous?"

"Wouldn't you? You didn't see the fire erupting in the center of the earth when you went?" Song Xinghai said in disbelief, "We saw it all in the Holy Lion City. ”

"I saw it, the flames were dozens of highs, and they erupted from the mouth of the Langya Cave, which is really scary. But it soon went out. Song Li explained: "I waited for a long time after the flames were extinguished before I went to Langya Cave. ”

"What?" Yun Lin was almost stunned, her voice trembling a little, "You dare to be beaten with iron, how dare you go to the cave that has just spewed flames?"

The couple was really a little scared in retrospect, what if the fire in the center of the earth erupted again? Then wouldn't their only precious son turn into ashes in an instant? During this time, because Song Li's performance was too unexpected, the couple felt a huge sense of accomplishment from their son. They hadn't tasted enough of the sweetness, and if their son was suddenly gone, it would be hard for them to imagine how they would have to endure that kind of catastrophe. This dead boy is really not worrying.

"Actually, the reason is this, didn't my mother keep emphasizing how important the origin fire is to the alchemist? This time I wanted to go to Langya Mountain for a visit, but I didn't expect to encounter a volcanic eruption, at that time, I thought, could this fire in the center of the earth be a kind of origin fire? But I didn't think much about it at the time, I didn't expect this flame to be extinguished after not spewing for a while. I really wanted to explore the Langya Cave to see if I could find traces of the Origin Tinder. After waiting for a long time, I saw that the flames did not erupt and the magma cooled down, so I went down to Langya Cave. However, no origin fire was found, only a strange stone was found in the cave. Song Li took out the "candlestick" that held the original flame and presented it to his mother.

His words are true and false, not that he sincerely wants to hide them from his parents, but some secrets have not yet come to say.

Yun Lin was still angry, but after her eyes came into contact with the crimson "candlestick", her eyes instantly doubled!

"Son...... You said...... You found this from the Langya Cave?" Yun Lin trembled and took the stone from Song Li's hand, the color was red and the shape was flat, with the sensitivity of Yun Lin's alchemist, he immediately sensed the familiar "fire element" fluctuations from this stone shaped like a candlestick! This energy fluctuation was extremely strong, Yun Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly let out an exclamation!

"Madam, what's wrong? What is this?" Song Xinghai scratched his head, not knowing how this unremarkable stone could make Madame lose her temper so much!

"Origin Tinder!Origin Tinder!" Yun Lin was a little incoherent excitedly, repeating these four words in her mouth.

"Mom, are you saying that this stone is the Origin Tinder?" Of course Song Li knew that this was not the Origin Tinder, and the real Origin Flame had already been swallowed by him. But he always has to give some feedback when his mother reacts so aggressively, otherwise isn't it too abnormal?

"No, no, I'm not saying that this stone is the Origin Tinder!" Yun Lin stared at the stone and muttered, "If my expectation is correct, this flat-shaped stone should be the artifact that holds the Origin Tinder." This thing grows together with the Origin Tinder, absorbing part of the energy of the Origin Tinder, and is definitely a treasure between heaven and earth. If it is used as a material, the artificial fire produced is estimated to be second only to the original fire!"

"Wouldn't it, would it be so powerful?" Song Xinghai's face was full of horror, and he followed Yun Lin to hear and see, and he knew more or less about fire. Hearing that Mrs. said that the stone that Li'er retrieved from Langya Cave was actually the personal object of the Origin Fire, the prince of the county was really shocked!

"Son, can you tell me if there was anything unusual when you found this stone......? There's no small flame burning on it or something. Yun Lin's face was full of hope. Oh my God, this is the artifact that holds the Primordial Flame! If it weren't for the fact that her father had described the characteristics of this artifact to her more than once, she would not have recognized it. Since the utensils containing the Origin Flame appeared in Langya Cave, it is certain that the Origin Flame must have also appeared here.

She never thought that the Origin Flame that her father had been begging for all his life was actually at the foot of Langya Mountain, which was about fifty miles away from her!

"No, nothing out of the ordinary. By the time I arrived at Langya Cave, the flames had long since been extinguished. The lava has also cooled into strange rocks. At the time, I just thought that this little rock was different from the surrounding rocks, so I picked it up. I didn't expect this to be an artifact that holds the Origin Tinder......" Song Li continued his half-truthful explanation.

"There's no reason why, the Primordial Fire and the vessel that holds it have always been inseparable. If they are separated, there are only two possibilities, the first is that the original fire is subdued, which is extremely unlikely. Because the person who can subdue the Origin Flame must be a master with the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, it is impossible for him not to know the preciousness of this artifact, how can he just throw it away?"

Song Li thought to himself, your son and I are the master who "has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth", and the original fire was eaten by me. If my mother knew the truth, would she faint happily, or would she faint with fright?

"Mom, you're right. This is extremely unlikely. The first is that there is no such powerful person, and the second is that if there is such a person, he will definitely not let go of this vessel after receiving the fire. Song Li nodded and said, "What is the second possibility?"

Yun Lin continued: "The second possibility is that this Origin Flame has reached the end of its life. After tens of thousands of years, the energy is exhausted and naturally extinguished. That's why you have a chance to pick up its closeness. ”

"Ah, will the Origin Flame be extinguished naturally?" this was the first time Song Li had heard of this.

"I don't know very much about that, but I think it should be. Although the Origin Flame is strong, the energy contained in it cannot be endless. It is also possible to burn for tens of thousands of years and then extinguish naturally. Yun Lin carefully rubbed the smooth surface of the "candlestick" and said in a deep voice.

"It's a plausible possibility. Song Li clapped his hands and said, "The fire in the center of the earth erupted for a while and was extinguished halfway, probably because the origin fire that provided it with energy came to an end. ”

Song Xinghai tapped his fingers on the table and said, "That's right, this explanation is very reasonable. ”

Song Li stared at his mother's face, hoping that she would accept this explanation, because Song Li knew that the Origin Flame had been swallowed by himself. If the mother didn't give up and spent a lot of energy to go to Langya Cave to find that unwarranted fire, the result would definitely be a waste of money and money, and in the end she would find nothing.

Life is too short, there are so many things waiting for them to do, and he doesn't want his mother to spend huge manpower and material resources to do useless work.

"Alas, I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life. It seems that I have no fate with this Origin Tinder. Yun Lin sighed and was melancholy for a moment, but she was an optimistic character, and she quickly recovered, holding the "candlestick" and laughing happily: "Fortunately, Li'er is clever and has picked up the personal object of the origin fire, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy." This mom will help you put it away first, and then have the opportunity to ask your grandfather to make you a top-notch artificial fire, and then we will be a cow immediately!"

"That's great, Mom, you can keep it for me. There is a "seed of imperial fire" in the Song Dynasty, and it is natural to look down on any artificial fire. But my mother naturally said so, and he also agreed. In fact, what he thought was that he could let his grandfather use this to make a better artificial fire for his mother. Later, his cultivation has improved, and he is more proficient in the application of the Emperor Fire Seed, and he can make a "Origin Flame Seed" for his mother, but the time has obviously not yet come. Mother should use artificial fire for the time being.

Yun Lin saw Song Xinghai grabbing Song Li's arm, looking thoughtful, and said suspiciously: "Hey, Lord Junwang, what are you doing in a daze?"

Song Xinghai was puzzled: "Strange, why do I think that the energy fluctuations in Li'er's body are so strong, this shouldn't be the level of the peak of the refining period, is it ......?"

"Scared, huh?" Song Xinghai said this, and Yun Lin also found out. Song Li's eyes were filled with a layer of crystal color, his breath was long and powerful, and the energy fluctuations in his body were more than ten times stronger than before, which was obviously a sign of the qi induction period......

"Dad, Mom, you don't have to be suspicious. I have indeed broken through the threshold of the body refining stage, and I am now at the realm of the early stage of the second layer of qi induction. Song Li said casually.
