Su Rui's cultivation knowledge was still too scarce. It was the first time he heard the term "Too Fire Poison Flame" and he could not understand Chi Jiao's shock at all.
But one good thing about Su Rui is that he never hides his ignorance, so he asked Chi Jiao what kind of treasure Taihuo Duyan was?
After Chi Jiao's explanation, he finally understood that this world contained numerous underground wells and volcanic cenotes, connected to the center of the earth's veins and reaching thousands of feet deep into the Earth's Lungs. These wells and cenotes would be a sure death for ordinary civilians, and while they were also extremely dangerous for cultivators, they often concealed rare treasures capable of forging supreme magical weapons. For example, the Taihuo Poisonous Flame, found only in the Earth's Lungs connected to the wells, was unlike ordinary earth fire. It was the pinnacle of all earth fires, possessing an indestructible, extreme quality. Even top-tier magical weapons could be outmatched by its power. Therefore, collecting this Taihuo Poisonous Flame was extremely difficult. However, once collected, it became a rare treasure useful for refining high-level magical weapons.
Furthermore, this poisonous Taihuo flame is often accompanied by two natural treasures: Nine-Fierce Yin Thunder Pearls and Dazzling Gold Sand. Nine-Fierce Yin Thunder can counteract the calamity fire. In this world, the natural calamity typically manifests in the form of thunderclouds and calamity fire. If one can disperse some of the calamity before it forms, surviving it will be much easier. Dazzling Gold Sand, on the other hand, can be used to refine flying swords and magical weapons. Magical weapons refined with it possess incredibly powerful properties, specifically designed to break through banner-like magical weapons and array formations composed of complete sets of magical weapons.
After listening to Chi Jiao's explanation of the Taihuo Poison Flame, Su Rui immediately searched the space in the copper ring, but unfortunately there was no trace of the Jiulie Yinlei Pearl and the Xuanjin Sand.
Chi Jiao returned the gem that sealed the poisonous flame of Taihuo to Su Rui, and gave her guess about the gem: this gem is the core item used by the Zhushan Sect to make high-level mechanical men.
Su Rui himself had a similar guess. The higher the level of the robot, the more energy it required. Without a powerful power source, it would be difficult to make the robot move.
Su Rui sorted out the space of the copper ring he got from the disciple of Zhushan Sect, and looked through the pile of mechanical man parts. He felt it was a mess and he didn't know how to assemble and construct them, so he just let it continue to pile there.
He took out a seed of an unknown vine, walked out of the room, dug a shallow hole in the center of the Stele Forest in Lu'an City, and dropped the seed in.
Afterwards, he said hello to Monk Zhiliao and headed towards Rongcheng with Chi Jiao. He planned to go shopping in Rongcheng to see if he could gather the ingredients for brewing Bixue Wine.
Su Rui and Chi Jiao were both dressed in Taoist attire, but they both looked like teenagers now, and they were a beautiful sight walking on the street.
Since Jiangjia Village was not far from Chengdu, and Su Rui was not in a hurry, the two of them walked slowly.
Along the way, we met many villagers going to Chengdu and merchants driving donkey carts and ox carts to the city. It was quite lively.
Occasionally, you can see knights with long swords and long knives on their waists, looking exhausted after all the travels. When Su Rui sees them, he sometimes thinks that if he didn't have the golden finger of Longtu Bagua, perhaps his future fate would be the same as theirs, becoming a wandering knight or a wanderer.
However, the direction of many roads is unknown. Who knows whether the road ahead will lead to beautiful scenery or a dirty cesspool!
Seeing a simple tavern under a big tree on the side of the road, Su Rui took Chi Jiao over and planned to sit down, drink a bowl of wine, and listen to some gossip.
Who knew that before he even sat down, he saw someone overturning the table next to him. It was a group of ferocious martial artists who were dissatisfied with the tavern owner for being too slow in serving the wine, so they rolled up their sleeves and started cursing, ready to beat him up.
This tavern was already shabby, with only an elderly shopkeeper and a patched-up eight or nine-year-old boy serving as waiter. How could the drinks be served quickly?! This group of people were clearly looking for trouble.
Su Rui's good mood was immediately ruined by this group of people, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He had originally thought of using the Purple Swan Sword to kill all of these guys, but he thought that would be too murderous, so he cast a spell and used gold bricks to hit each of these guys, knocking them all unconscious. He then threw them into a dry ditch on the side of the road to avoid hindering the business of the tavern.
After doing this, Su Rui patted his sleeves and sat down.
"Boss, please bring me the rest of the wine! I want all the rest of your wine!"
"Sir, this is all the wine we have!"
The old shopkeeper threw a wine gourd over. After Su Rui caught the gourd, he saw the old shopkeeper transformed into a majestic old man in brocade robes, and the boy rolled on the ground and turned into a sika deer with gorgeous dragon horns on his head.
Su Rui was a little stunned. He didn't feel any breath from the man and the beast in front of him just now. He thought they were just ordinary civilians.
"Are you going to Rongcheng?"
Su Rui was stunned again upon hearing this. It turned out that this person wasn't a human, but a cultivator of the divine system. After he refined the Black Mountain Divine Seal and the Grain Mountain Divine Seal, he had kept them in his Niwan Palace, with almost no aura emanating from them. He didn't know how this old man had identified him.
"I'm just about to go into the city for a stroll and buy some materials for making wine. I wonder who the deity is..." Su Rui asked.
"Your Highness, the Judge of the City God of Rongcheng, greets the Mountain King!" The old man bowed his head and performed the etiquette of a respectful person.
Strictly speaking, Su Rui, a mountain god who was not authorized by the imperial decree of the Xitang Dynasty, belongs to a different system from the gods of Xitang. In comparison, Su Rui is more like a wild god, although his rank is not low.
"Judge, there is no need to be polite. Just treat me as an ordinary cultivator!" Su Rui bowed in return.
"As you say... This is your first time in Rongcheng, right? Do you need some guidance from me?" The old man seemed respectful, but his eyes were clearly filled with vigilance.
"Don't worry, Judge. If I want to go into the city and cause trouble, you can't stop me!" Su Rui pointed at Chi Jiao and said directly.
"I hope the mountain king won't make things difficult for me!" There was a hint of pleading in the old man's eyes.
"Okay, just follow me!" Su Rui said helplessly.
He unceremoniously picked up the wine gourd that the judge had thrown to him, opened the stopper and took a sip. The wine was surprisingly mellow and had a scent of peach blossoms.
"The lamp of auspicious snow is shining on my chest, and my eyes are half drunk with peach blossom wine. Is this peach blossom wine?" Su Rui's eyes lit up, he reached out to wipe the wine overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and asked.
"This is the fine wine that I have collected for ten years. What do you think of its taste, Mountain God?" the judge said with a smile.
"Anything else? I want to take some back to my uncle..."
