Chapter 17 Devouring Beast Fire
"You" Jialebi's face twitched and he angrily shouted, "Xiao Zhan, don't be complacent. Don't think I can't do anything to you just because I don't have evidence. The castration of my son Jiale'ao must be related to your son Xiao Yan and that girl named Xiao Xun'er."
"Then wait for you to produce evidence before you accuse me. I also wanted to say that my son Xiao Yan's fighting spirit disappeared because of your son." Xiao Zhan said with a satisfied look on his face.
"You are so cruel, Xiao Zhan. We have a grudge against each other now." Galeb clenched his five fingers so tightly that his bones crackled.
"Okay, okay, you're just talking and not doing anything. Do you want to raise the price? If not, I'll buy it." Xiao Zhan yawned and said impatiently.
"Add, why not? I'll offer 60,000." Galibi was overwhelmed by anger. He waved his hand and directly increased the price by 10,000.
"Add ten thousand. It's a relief that you can afford it. I'll give you eighty thousand." Xiao Zhan yawned again and said lazily.
"One hundred thousand." Without even thinking, Galeb offered a sky-high price.
However, as soon as he said this, he regretted it.
No matter how precious the Peiyuan Spirit Liquid is, it is still a second-grade elixir after all. Looking across the entire Douqi Continent, I have never heard of any second-grade elixir worth 100,000 gold coins.
"You win." As expected, everyone knew that Xiao Zhan was deliberately trying to anger Jialebi. It was just that Jialebi was so angry that he didn't know it.
Jialebi's face was a little stunned. Under Obapa's gloating eyes, he just reacted and realized that he was fooled.
"Xiao Zhan, you are so cruel." After leaving these harsh words, Jialebi turned his head to look at the auction table, urging the auctioneer to complete the auction. In
a remote corner, Xiao Se didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Recalling the original work, he took it for granted that Xiao Yan's disappearance of fighting spirit would lead to Xiao Zhan's misfortune. He didn't expect that there is always someone stronger among the strong, and it turned out to be Jialebi's misfortune. It's a good thing for Xiao.
Returning to the treasure appraiser again, under the awed gazes of Gu Ni and the middle-aged man, Xiao Se took the gold card and the ring containing the medicinal herbs and left the auction house.
He staggered along the way and found an empty corner. After making sure that Ling Ying was not monitoring him, he took off his black robe, put it into his ring, and then returned to the stone chamber under the waterfall in the back mountain of the Xiao family.
Inside the stone chamber.
With the help of Long Kui's soul power, Xiao Se's fighting spirit cultivation and soul realm were both raised to above the Grand Fighter level. Without any surprise, he was able to refine the third-grade elixir, the Ice Spirit Pill.
The next day, early morning.
Xiao Se spent a whole night adjusting his physical and mental state to its peak.
"Brother, do you really want to swallow this beast fire? Although this thing is not a threat to Long Kui, brother only has the strength of a one-star fighter, and it is still very dangerous to swallow it." Looking at the jade bottle containing beast fire in front of him, Long Kui said with some concern.
"Don't worry, according to the method remembered by the remnant soul of the Dan Emperor, as long as I have the help of the Ice Spirit Pill, I will at most suffer a little physical pain." Xiao Se said with a smile.
In fact, Xiao Se was also unsure, because using the Ice Spirit Pill alone to subdue the beast fire would require the skill to reach the intermediate level of the Profound Rank or above to be foolproof. Xiao Se's skill was only at the low level of the Yellow Rank now, and his endurance and strength were far from enough.
But he couldn't care less now.
The future is unpredictable. The more strength you have, the greater the chance of saving your life.
"But."
"Long Kui, if you can't even bear this little risk, then how can I become stronger, protect you, or stay with you forever?" Xiao Se replied firmly.
"Yeah." Moved by Xiao Se's belief, Long Kui raised her beautiful white chin slightly, turned into a blue light, and drilled into the magic sword pattern in Xiao Se's right hand.
The moment she entered the magic sword space, the gentle and virtuous blue nightshade instantly transformed into the fiery and flamboyant red nightshade, muttering softly: "Brother...Longkui will not let anything happen to you."
Beast fire is not as spiritual as strange fire, so there is no need to absorb spirits. You only need to open up a small space in the fighting cyclone that is large enough to accommodate the fire to subdue it.
It's easier said than done. In the original novel, Xiao Yan only used the companion purple crystal source to cultivate a very weak fire, and he was worn out and almost died. However, the beast fire in Xiao Se's eyes was taken directly from the body of a fifth-level monster, the Fire Devouring Dragon. Even the Dou Wang strongman dare not touch it easily.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Se sat cross-legged on the cold ground, slowly closed his eyes, formed the Burning Seal with both hands, and sensed the fighting energy with his soul power.
Following the method in memory, he began to open up a small space within the fighting cyclone within his body.
Half an hour later, Xiao Se suddenly opened his eyes, "It's done."
He took out the jade bottle containing the Ice Spirit Pill, unplugged the bottle, tilted the bottle mouth, and a snow-white pill the size of a longan rolled out and fell into Xiao Se's palm.
He put it to his nose and sniffed it, then put it into his mouth.
As the pill melted in his mouth, it immediately turned into streams of ice energy, flowing into Xiao Se's limbs and meridians, and condensed into a light layer of frost in his body.
He slowly exhaled a breath of cold air and murmured, "Success or failure depends on this time. I hope I can make it through it."
Picking up the jade bottle containing beast fire and feeling the sudden increase in temperature in his hand, Xiao Se gritted his teeth, pulled out the cork, put the bottle mouth close to his lips, and swallowed the fire directly.
As soon as the fire entered his body, Xiao Se cried in pain, just like when he swallowed the hot glutinous rice balls right out of the pot without chewing them and was burned to death.
As the saying goes, if the skills are not enough, you can make up for it with pills.
This time, Xiao Se prepared five Ice Spirit Pills.
Enduring the severe pain, Xiao Se took out another Ice Spirit Pill and put it in his mouth, and then he felt much better. He activated the fighting spirit in his body, assisted by his soul perception, and gradually guided the beast fire into the fighting cyclone space.
It took a long time to subdue the beast fire. Two hours had passed unknowingly, and Xiao Se's Ice Spirit Pill had been used up.
"Just a little bit more. Just a little bit more."
Enduring the burning of the beast fire in his body, Xiao Se tried his best to guide the beast fire into the fighting cyclone space.
Just when Xiao Se was about to be unable to bear it, the magic sword pattern on his right hand suddenly flashed a dazzling blood-red light.
Affected by the blood-red light, the small part of the beast fire that had not yet entered the Dou Zhi Cyclone space, as if attracted by some kind of suction, suddenly drilled into the space.
Even the burned meridians in Xiao Se's body were repaired in an instant.
Beast Fire, successfully subdued.
"Longkui, is that you?"
Collapsing on the ground powerlessly, Xiao Se murmured softly.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The light of the magic sword pattern on Xiao Se's arm turned from red to blue, and blue nightshade emerged from it.
Seeing Xiao Se collapsed on the ground, he hurriedly helped him up.
