Chapter 61 Blood Lotus Pill, Preparation Before Devouring the Strange Fire
"Congratulations, host! Completed the sign-in at the deep end of the Yang Yuan Stone vein!"
"Reward obtained: Blue Lotus Heart Fire!"
The sudden sound of the system left Lin Yan stunned. He halted his steps, his expression filled with astonishment. Pinching his own cheek, he felt a pang of pain, and his lips curled into a broad smile.
"This is... a Strange Fire? Damn! What incredible luck!" Lin Yan couldn't contain his excitement and blurted out.
Moments ago, he had almost given up hope, thinking he had wasted his time. But now, everything changed in an instant!
One moment, he felt hopeless, but the next, fortune knocked on his door!
Lin Yan had unexpectedly obtained the Strange Fire he had long desired through a sign-in, and it was the Blue Lotus Heart Fire that perfectly met his current needs.
"Now, I can refine pills!"
"Hahaha!" Lin Yan burst into laughter, unable to contain his joy.
"Young man, what's going on? Did the disappointment of not finding the Strange Fire hit you hard?" The sudden change in Lin Yan's reaction startled the Medicine Elder. He looked at Lin Yan with surprise and tried to comfort him.
"Elder, I just signed in again," Lin Yan explained, managing to suppress his inner excitement.
This revelation dumbfounded the Medicine Elder. He stood there for a moment, then burst into laughter. "In that case, let's go immediately," he said eagerly.
"Once I write down the prescription, we'll find the ingredients, refine the pill, and devour the Strange Fire!" The Medicine Elder's excitement grew evident, especially when he mentioned devouring the Strange Fire.
Though it wasn't him who would be devouring it, both Lin Yan and the Medicine Elder had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Therefore, both of them were extremely excited.
They quickly left the Yang Yuan Stone vein and returned home. Once there, the Medicine Elder wasted no time in informing Lin Yan about the necessary preparations for devouring the Strange Fire, without any sugar-coating.
"Young man, to devour the Blue Lotus Heart Fire, you need three items."
"Firstly, a high-quality ice attribute spirit object is required. It's necessary to cool down during the devouring process; otherwise, the body won't be able to withstand the temperature of the Strange Fire."
"But you don't need to worry about that. I have it," the Medicine Elder reassured Lin Yan, taking out a piece of blue ice jade from his storage ring. "This is Thousand-Year Ice Jade I obtained in my youth. I never thought it would come in handy here."
"Secondly, we need a Soul Absorber."
"This is an extremely rare natural treasure. It's only occasionally found in high-level Soul Stones. Don't be fooled by its size; the value of this item is astonishing. Even I had to put in a lot of effort to find it before when I was devouring a Strange Fire."
The Medicine Elder then took out the Soul Absorber from his storage ring—a thumb-sized stone with a smooth surface, emitting a faint blue light that pulsated like a living creature.
Lin Yan looked at these two items in astonishment. He hadn't expected the Medicine Elder to have everything, like a Doraemon's magic pocket, where he could find anything he needed.
Feeling a bit emotional, Lin Yan said, "Elder, you have quite a treasure trove. I'm impressed."
"It's just some collections from my youth," the Medicine Elder said proudly. "But for the last item, you'll have to contribute."
"It's called the Blood Lotus Pill."
"It's a fifth-grade pill. Without its protection, you won't be able to get close to the Strange Fire, let alone devour it."
"So, I'll give you the prescription later. You find the materials needed, and I'll refine it for you."
Lin Yan nodded and received the Blood Lotus Pill prescription from the Medicine Elder.
While the pill required only a few materials, each one was extremely rare. Lin Yan decided to check the medicine room first but found none of the required ingredients.
He hurried back home and sought out Lin Zhentian. After explaining the situation, Lin Zhentian promised to find the three materials, understanding the importance of Lin Yan's advancement.
Lin Zhentian immediately called Lin Xiao, Lin Mang, and Lin Ken, briefing them on the situation. With a solemn expression, he emphasized the importance of obtaining the materials, ensuring there would be no room for error.
After Lin Xiao and his brothers agreed, they set out to find the materials.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhentian couldn't sit still and headed towards the Blade Mercenary Guild.
"Lin Brother, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Lin Zhentian, Luo Cheng, the guild master, greeted him warmly.
"Guild Master Luo, I have a personal request, and I hope you can assist me. If you do, the Lin family will be forever grateful," Lin Zhentian said with a serious expression, seeking Luo Cheng's help.
Luo Cheng became even more puzzled.
What kind of matter could make the usually proud Lin Zhentian come to him for help?
He didn't dare to delay and quickly said to Lin Zhentian, "Please, tell me what you need. If it's within my ability, I will definitely not refuse."
