Chapter 66: Obtaining the Azure Flame

The two men walked into the stone chamber one after the other. The stone chamber was filled with pieces of brightly colored flame stones. There was an altar in the middle of the flame stones, and on the altar, there was a ball of green flame.

When Ye Shi saw Qingming Yan, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.

Ye Shi turned his head and looked at Mu Chen with some confusion, "Mu Chen, was this strange fire left here on purpose?"

Mu Chen nodded and said, "It seems so. This stone chamber is obviously built by humans."

"Didn't you say that this kind of strange fire is very precious? Then why would someone not put it away but put it here instead?" Ye Shi frowned and asked in confusion.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Perhaps the other party thinks the flame is too weak?"

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen in confusion, "Too weak?"

Mu Chen nodded and explained, "Of course, strange fires also have different strengths and can be promoted. This Qingming Flame looks to be at level three. For us, such a flame is enough. However, for the person who placed the Qingming Flame here, the level is probably too low. These flame stones and the formation on the altar are all conducive to the evolution of the flame. I think the person who left the flame here is really nurturing the flame."

Ye Shi curled his lips and said, "I've only heard of raising chickens and ducks, but I've never heard of raising fire. Can you raise fire?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."

Ye Shi blinked and urged, "Hurry up and absorb this fire."

Mu Chen frowned and said, "Your blood can open the stone gate. The original owner of this flame should have some connection with you. I think it is more suitable for you to absorb this flame." Although he was reluctant, Mu Chen pondered for a moment and still spoke.

Ye Shi shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, I don't want it. I don't make pills anyway, so this flame is useless."

Even if he didn't refine the elixir, absorbing this flame would still be very beneficial. At the very least, it would increase his combat power by several percent when fighting against others. Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, then I'll absorb it."

Ye Shi nodded and said excitedly, "Okay."

Mu Chen lowered his head, a few cold rays flashed in his eyes. Mu Chen thought secretly: Even if I absorbed the flame, I don't know how big the influence of the original work is. If something unexpected happens, it will be bad if Ye Shi gives the Qingming Flame to Lan Ruofeng again. Although according to the current situation, this possibility is not great, but we have to be on guard!

Mu Chen waved his hand and cut Ye Shi's finger, letting Ye Shi's blood drip onto the Qingming Flame.

Ye Shi frowned and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing. I just thought that you and the owner of the Qingming Flame might have the same blood. If that's true, your blood might make this flame much more peaceful." Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said a little uneasily.

Ye Shi rolled his eyes, not angry at all, but said with some joy: "Really? My blood can be used in this way? Do you think it is useful?" Mu Chen is getting better and better, which always puts a lot of pressure on Ye Shi. Hearing that his blood is useful, Ye Shi feels a little more happy.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, smiled, and said, "It works. This flame is much milder. I think it will be much smoother when I fuse it next."

Ye Shi's face flushed slightly, "As long as it works."

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, whose face was full of joy, and secretly clenched his hands. How could Lan Ruofeng in the book not be moved by such a Ye Shi? How could he hurt his heart again and again?

In order to fuse the Qingming Flame, Mu Chen made a lot of preparations in advance. With the help of the fire-melting liquid and Ye Shi's blood, the fusion process went relatively smoothly.

The Qingming Flame was successfully absorbed into Mu Chen's body. At the same time, Mu Chen's strength jumped from a five-star warrior to an eight-star warrior, and he walked ahead of Ye Shi.

When Ye Shi discovered that his strength was left behind by Mu Chen, he suddenly felt a little strange.

…………

Lan family.

When Lan Ruofeng was shopping with Zhuang Yu, he suddenly felt a twitch in his heart and a feeling of emptiness arose.

Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng, whose expression suddenly changed, and asked in confusion, "Ruofeng, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Ruofeng shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine."

Lan Ruofeng frowned. A few days ago, he had a strange feeling that if he didn't go to find Ye Shi, he would lose something very important. But now he didn't feel that way. He felt that the thing had been taken away by someone and he had no chance of getting it anymore.

Lan Ruofeng narrowed his eyes, unable to help but think about it. Why did he have that feeling? It was so strange. If his feeling was true, then who was the person who stole his things? Muchen? The first time he saw Muchen, he felt an indescribable disgust.

"Ruofeng, you look very bad!" Zhuang Yu said worriedly.

Lan Ruofeng forced a smile and said, "It's okay."

"Ruofeng, I heard that you sent people to investigate Muchen and Ye Shi?" Zhuang Yu said cautiously.

Lan Ruofeng's heart sank. "How did you know?"

Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng's unfriendly expression and said a little aggrievedly, "You've been distracted lately. I'm worried about you, so..."

Lan Ruofeng narrowed his eyes. Zhuang Yu was handsome and friendly. Many people were fascinated by him the moment they saw him. He should be proud to have such a partner. However, it would not be a good thing if Zhuang Yu used this ability on the people around him.

"Is that so?" Lan Ruofeng responded calmly.

Zhuang Yu blinked and asked, "Ruofeng, why are you investigating Mu Chen and Ye Shi?"

Lan Ruofeng smiled and said, "Nothing, it's just that there seems to be some misunderstanding between Muchen, Ye Shi and me. I think if there is a chance, it would be better to find a chance to reconcile with them."

"Ruofeng, you are so magnanimous. Mu Yuanfeng made you embarrassed in front of your father, but you still thought about reconciling with Muchen. I think Muchen would feel ashamed when he knew about it." Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng innocently.

Lan Ruofeng raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. It was impossible that Mu Chen would feel ashamed of himself.

Rumor has it that Mu Chen is as stupid as a pig and is always led by the nose. However, the Mu Chen he saw was completely different.

Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng and said, "The Rose Shop is up ahead. I heard that there are a lot of good things in the Rose Shop. Let's go take a look."

"Of course." Lan Ruofeng said with a smile.

…………

In the jungle.

A burst of angry bull roars came over.

"Bang!" Mu Chen punched an iron-hoofed bull, and the bull was knocked away.

The Iron-hoofed Ox rushed over again, and a layer of green light suddenly lingered on Mu Chen's hand. "Bang", the man and the ox collided fiercely again. A large piece of the Iron-hoofed Ox's flesh was burned, and it let out a scream, twitching and falling in a pool of blood.

Ye Shi watched this scene in a daze and said, "Not bad, not bad, Muchen, you are a master."

Mu Chen smiled helplessly and said disapprovingly, "Master, you're still a long way off." The power of the strange fire was indeed great! If he relied solely on his own strength, one punch would only cause minor injuries to the monster, but with the combined attack of the strange fire, he directly put an end to the monster.

With his current strength, if he used the Qingming Flame during the battle, it should not be a problem for him to deal with one-star, two-star, and third-level monsters, but three-star ones would be a bit of a stretch.

Even though I am making rapid progress now, I still can't be careless!

After all, according to the original text, he would die at the hands of Lu Yao in another year. If Lu Yao found out that Mu Yuanfeng had the Hundred Training Body Techniques, he would probably still take action. Before that, he must have enough self-protection ability.

Ye Shi quickly ran to the iron-hoofed cow and collected the cow's blood.

Ever since Ye Shi became interested in body training, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't soak in beast blood every day. This time, when he was on the road and stopped, Ye Shi couldn't wait to buy beast blood for a bath. He also liked him to keep the beast blood in his space ring so that he could use it at any time.

This trip into the mountains was even more extraordinary. He discovered that the blood of wild animals had a better effect on body refining. Ye Shi collected animal blood whenever he had the chance.

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi who was busy working and said helplessly: "Shi Tou, my ring has limited space! I really can't put so much beast blood in it."

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, we can take a bath before leaving! It seems that we have collected a lot of animal blood recently."

Mu Chen forced a smile and said, "Okay!"

"Later, use milder animal blood. This is the wilderness. If you scream like you're slaughtering a pig, it will attract monsters and cause trouble." Ye Shi reminded thoughtfully.

Mu Chen: “…”

Ye Shi saw the ring on Muchen's hand and said in a depressed tone, "Muchen, you should buy a bigger space ring. Your ring is a bit small."

Mu Chen raised his hand and said somewhat dejectedly, "It's a little small! It cost fifty thousand yuan worth of stones for such a small ring."

Ye Shi's eyebrows twitched. Damn it, the rich are the rich. They spend tens of thousands on anything they buy.

"Actually, although it's a little small, it's enough." Ye Shi said with a dry laugh.

Mu Chen said disapprovingly: "I don't think it's enough. When we get to the imperial capital, I have to find a way to make some money and buy a bigger one."

Ye Shi: “…”
