"I can be sure that this is the Earth Spirit Fire. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Wild Fire, which ranks 37th among the Earth Spirit Fires." Ling Baobao said affirmatively.
"What is the wild fire, and what is the earth spirit fire?" Wu Yizi and Zhou Jilin looked at Mu Hanyan curiously, then at Ling Baobao, and asked in unison.
As soon as the flame appeared at Mu Hanyan's fingertips, they keenly felt the strangeness of it and were so curious about it that they even forgot that they were still angry with Mu Hanyan.
"The Earth Spirit Fire is one of the spiritual fires of heaven and earth. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is naturally nurtured by the essence of the sun and the moon. It has its own spirituality and can continue to grow. In the end, it can even possess spiritual consciousness, just like a strange beast, and can transform into thousands of forms. It can be used to refine medicine and tools with twice the result with half the effort. If it is consistent with one's own attributes, it can even help with cultivation and improve combat effectiveness. It can be said to be a rare treasure in the world." Baby Ling shook his head and said proudly.
In this world, he and Mu Hanyan are the only ones who truly understand the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. This is a good opportunity to show off.
Mu Hanyan secretly laughed at this. The idea of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and drawing the essence of the sun and moon, was a bit too mysterious, like a fairy tale. In fact, even the long sword in one's hand could have spirit. As long as the materials were of high quality and the refining method was correct, everything could be refined into spirit.
It wasn't unusual for spirituality to naturally emerge from the essence of fire. According to Ling Baobao's previous introduction, in his plane, the Heavenly Spirit Fire was extremely precious to ordinary cultivators, and even for the truly powerful, it wasn't too rare. It was simply that the laws of the Sacred Continent were different, preventing the birth of true Heavenly Spirit Fire.
Mu Hanyan didn't take the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Fire seriously—at least she didn't take the ordinary low-level Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Fire seriously, but Wu Yizi, Zhou Jilin and others were quite frightened.
"The spiritual fire of heaven and earth, so this is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. There is such a rare treasure in the world!" Wu Yizi said with admiration.
Next to him, Zhou Jilin's old face turned red with excitement.
As for the two family heads, Gu Qingyang and Tang Feng, they had already had some understanding of the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, so they were not as surprised as their counterparts.
"There is such a rare treasure in the world, why haven't we heard of it before?" After being surprised, Wu Yizi said in confusion.
"Wait, now that you mention it, it suddenly occurred to me that the power in the fire stone seems to be somewhat similar to the spiritual fire of heaven and earth." Before others could answer, Zhou Jisen remembered something and said with a little excitement.
"Yes, could it be that the Fire Stone contains the spiritual fire of heaven and earth?" Wu Yizi slapped his head and took out a Fire Stone from his arms.
Mu Hanyan couldn't help but look at the two of them a few more times. She didn't expect that they actually had some research on the Fire Stone.
Gu Qingyang has been refining the Phoenix Nirvana Pill with the Fire Stone for most of his life, but he knows what it is but not why it is so. However, Wu Yizi and the others were able to figure out that the power contained in the Fire Stone is similar to the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. This once again proves that their attainments in medicine and alchemy are indeed much stronger than Gu Qingyang's.
Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin exchanged a few glances, sensing the excitement and anticipation in each other's hearts. Having known each other for years, they reached a consensus without even needing to discuss it.
"Swish!" Zhou Jilin pulled out a sharp short blade that was more than half a foot long. While concentrating on sensing the energy fluctuations in the fire stone, he used the short blade to gesture on it, obviously looking for a place to cut.
Mu Hanyan immediately understood that the two were preparing to kill the chicken to get the eggs... Oh no, they were preparing to split the stone to get fire.
"I say, old man, you'd better stop messing around. In the millions of years of history of the Continent of Gods, there are many people who are smarter than you. If it were really so easy to obtain the spiritual fire of heaven and earth from the Fire Stone, how could it be your turn?" Ling Baobao was stunned, then said with a smile.
Zhou Jilin and Wu Yizi were also slightly stunned when they heard this. After thinking for a moment, Wu Yizi put away the short blade, and both of them showed dejected looks on their faces.
Ling Baobao was right. In the millions of years of history of the Continent of Gods, there was no shortage of geniuses or prodigies. They were definitely not the only two who discovered the anomaly in the Fire Stone. It was not difficult to split the stone, but why was there no record left about the Spirit Fire of Heaven and Earth, not even a legend?
It's simple, this trick doesn't work.
"You guessed right. This fire stone does contain the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, but it is only the free fire element that has given birth to spirituality. It has not yet formed the shape of a real spiritual fire. It is like the egg of a strange beast before it hatches. Inside is either egg white and yolk, or a lump of meat that you can't tell what it is. Have you ever heard of anyone cutting open the eggshell and taking out a strange beast?" Ling Baobao continued.
Anyway, both of them have guessed the secret of the Fire Stone, so there is no need for him to hide it anymore. He can take this opportunity to show off.
"What should we do then? What should we do then?" Wu Yizi and the other two seemed to be asking questions, or talking to themselves, rubbing their hands, looking extremely annoyed.
If it were any other priest, they might not be very clear about the significance of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, but as masters of medicine and alchemy, they knew how much help possessing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire would bring to them.
You should know that the art of alchemy has extremely high requirements for furnace fire. The higher the grade of the elixir, the higher the requirements. Not only the size and strength of the fire will affect the success rate of making the elixir, but the purity of the fire itself will also affect the success rate and the quality of the elixir.
Therefore, the alchemist must not only monitor the changes of the herbs in the furnace at any time, but also focus on controlling the size and strength of the fire. In many cases, he must also inject spiritual power into the fire to remove impurities from the fire. This is a very stressful and labor-intensive process that is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This is precisely the main reason why many doctors and alchemists have low cultivation levels. They expend so much energy on alchemy that they have no energy left to improve their cultivation. If they could possess the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, wouldn't alchemy be twice as effective with half the effort? They would also save a lot of energy and time, and their alchemy skills would be greatly improved. Some elixirs that were previously difficult or impossible to refine might become a piece of cake.
Wu Yizi and the others had finally found a shortcut to the path of alchemy, and their ecstasy was understandable. However, Ling Baobao's words made them realize that their joy was premature. The spiritual fire was nurtured within the fire-retaining stone, but there was no way it could form or be born. It felt like a mountain of gold and silver was right in front of them, but they couldn't take a single piece. It would be strange if they weren't anxious.
Ling Baobao did not answer their questions, but turned his gaze to Mu Hanyan. In fact, he was also curious about the birth of this wild fire.
As far as he knew, it was absolutely impossible for the Holy Continent to produce the Spiritual Fire of Heaven and Earth, but he didn't know how Mu Hanyan did it.
