When Zhou Yang heard these four words from Ma Shaoyang, even though he had guessed beforehand, he was still surprised.
He knew only too well how valuable "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire" was.
Back then, he sold 255,000 low-grade spiritual stones for a portion of "Kanyuan Spiritual Water" that was worth less than "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire".
Now Ma Shaoyang suddenly said that there was news about "spiritual fire from heaven and earth", how could he not be surprised?
"Are you sure it's the heaven and earth spirit fire? Do you know what kind of heaven and earth spirit fire it is?"
He asked with an excited voice as he looked at Ma Shaoyang, his face full of surprise.
Hearing his question, Ma Shaoyang said in a low voice with a look of embarrassment: "Senior, please forgive me, but this junior has little knowledge. I can only tell that the flame is the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. As for what kind of spiritual fire it is, I don't know."
It’s clear.”
Zhou Yang waved his hand in an unusually kind manner and said, "It doesn't matter. Just tell me the shape, color and location of the flame."
"Junior understands."
Ma Shaoyang nodded, and immediately spoke out the specific information about the "spiritual fire of heaven and earth".
While Zhou Yang listened to what he said, he compared it in his mind with the "Spiritual Fire Illustrated Book" he had purchased from the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, and quickly locked in the information on one of the "Spiritual Fires of Heaven and Earth".
"The color is blue and purple, like a lotus rooted in the earth's fire lava... That's right, this is the [Purifying Green Lotus Fire]!"
Zhou Yang murmured to himself, his face suddenly filled with a smile.
The "Purifying Green Lotus Fire" may not be as powerful as many kinds of heaven and earth spirit fires in terms of fighting skills, but its role in alchemy is incomparable to 90% of the heaven and earth spirit fires.
The word "pure destruction" contained in its name actually points out the true meaning of this heaven and earth spiritual fire.
If an alchemist can refine this kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire, then at least in terms of material purification, he will be far behind other alchemists who use earth fire and real fire to refine elixirs.
This is a difference in hardware that cannot be made up by experience and technology.
The purification of materials is also recognized as the most difficult level in alchemy!
As long as an alchemist does a good job in purifying materials and has poor talent in other aspects, it will not affect his ability to become a good alchemist.
This is different from refining weapons.
After all, elixirs are for human consumption, and any slight difference in quality will lead to the failure of elixir refining, or the efficacy of the elixir will be greatly reduced, or even lead to poisoning of the person taking the elixir.
But as for the magic weapon, even if the tempering of the material is a bit poor, as long as the forbidden method is successfully deployed, it will only affect the power of the magic weapon and reduce the defense of the magic weapon itself.
This shows how valuable "Purifying Green Lotus Fire" is to alchemists.
"I agreed to this deal, but I can't give the Foundation Establishment Pill to you now. I have to wait until you take me to the place where the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was discovered. And you can also tell me in detail now. In addition to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire,
, what danger is there!"
Zhou Yang suppressed his excitement and looked at Ma Shaoyang with a serious face as he made the promise.
If that kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire is really the "purifying green lotus fire", then giving Ma Shaoyang a foundation-building pill is really not a big problem.
When Ma Shaoyang got his promise, his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he recounted truthfully how he discovered the existence of the spiritual fire that day and how he was forced to leave.
It turns out that the location of the heaven and earth spiritual fire that is suspected to be the "purifying green lotus fire" is the place where Ma Shaoyang originally found the "earth fire Ganoderma lucidum", which is an underground fire abyss in the vast sea of sand.
This underground fire abyss does not exist in the open air, but is located in an underground cave. According to Ma Shaoyang, the underground cave is huge. He has discovered it for decades, but half of the underground cave has not yet been explored.
.
This is of course because there are many powerful monsters in the underground cave, which hindered his exploration, but the huge area of the underground cave itself cannot be ignored.
And near the location of the heaven and earth spiritual fire that is suspected to be the "Purifying Green Lotus Fire", there happens to be a fourth-level mid-level monster "Fire Lin Beast" living there.
It was precisely because of the existence of this "Fire Lin Beast" that Ma Shaoyang was unable to collect the heaven and earth spirit fire himself, and could only use the news to find Zhou Yang in exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.
Otherwise, even if he really didn't know the value of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, he would not think that the majestic Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was only worth one Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Okay, I understand the situation. You wait on Chihu Mountain for a while. After I explain some things, I will follow you to the underground fire abyss!"
After listening to Ma Shaoyang's story, Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, he made a decision on the spot.
Immediately, he first found Zhou Guangxiang, who was practicing in another first-class cave, and told him that he was going out with Ma Shaoyang, asking him to be more vigilant and guard the family's spiritual mountain when he was not in the family.
Then Zhou Yang found Taoist companion Xiao Ying, told her the whole story, and told her not to leave Chihu Mountain during this period of time, and to study more about refining the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
That's right, after Zhou Yang obtained the heaven and earth spiritual fire that was suspected to be the "Purifying Green Lotus Fire", he planned to hand it over to Xiao Ying to refine it in order to improve her alchemy skills.
He already has the much more powerful "Qian Yang True Fire", and the "Purifying Green Lotus Fire" does not have much effect on him.
But if Xiao Ying refines the "Purifying Green Lotus Fire", she will probably be able to try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill right away, and she will even be promoted to a third-level high-grade alchemist with the help of this heaven and earth spiritual fire.
After all, when it comes to talent in alchemy, Xiao Ying is definitely the most talented person he has ever seen. Maybe even the ancestor of the Chen family may not be as talented as her in alchemy.
When Xiao Ying heard that Zhou Yang was going to take the risk to collect the "Purifying Green Lotus Fire" for herself, she was moved and worried at the same time. She couldn't help grabbing his arm and whispered: "Zhou Lang must be careful, I am concubine."
I would rather not have that [Purifying Green Lotus Fire] than see you hurt a finger, Zhou Lang!"
Zhou Yang held the Taoist couple's jade hand tightly, patted it gently, gave him a reassuring look, and then said with a sassy smile: "Don't worry, madam, it's just a [Fire Lin Beast], it can't hurt my husband, so you can
Good news is waiting for me at home!"
"Well, I am at home waiting for Zhou Lang to return victorious!"
Xiao Ying nodded slightly, looking at him with admiration in her eyes and nodding vigorously.
After bidding farewell to his clansmen and his wife, Zhou Yang left the gryphon to sit on Chihu Mountain, and he and Ma Shaoyang rushed to the underground cave he mentioned with his sword.
The two set out from the Chihu Mountain Oasis and flew westward for about two to three thousand miles before finally landing on a flat sandy land.
"Senior, please see, the cave is located under the sea of sand here. We need to go down a thousand feet from a cave over there before we can reach the depths of the underground cave."
As soon as the two landed, Ma Shaoyang pointed to the endless yellow sand desert in front of him and explained to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the sandy land was extremely flat. There were not many sand dunes within hundreds of miles visible to the naked eye, which was very different from the undulating sand dunes in other places.
"I'm very curious. Since the underground cave is located thousands of feet underground, how did you discover it in the first place?"
Zhou Yang retracted his gaze and looked at Ma Shaoyang with a hint of curiosity and asked.
Since Ma Shaoyang planned to take him to the underground cave, he naturally had nothing to hide about it, so he immediately replied: "Senior clearly knows that the reason why this junior discovered that place is because he was chasing a second-level high-grade monster there.
When I was looking for the Fire Lizard, I discovered an underground passage opened by a demonic beast, and that’s how I discovered the location of the underground cave.”
"I see."
Zhou Yang nodded, not surprised.
This kind of discovery of secret treasures while chasing monsters is indeed very common in the world of immortality, because monsters often choose places with strong spiritual energy to live, and places with strong spiritual energy are naturally prone to produce treasures.
Moreover, many reptile monsters like to dig holes everywhere. In many cases, these monsters discover and exploit some secret realms and treasures hidden deep underground.
Immortal cultivators often discover the secret realms hidden deep underground by discovering these monsters on the ground and then chasing them down.
It was luck that Ma Shaoyang was able to discover that underground cave, and things like this may happen every day in the world of immortality.
This is also the charm of the world of cultivating immortals, and the hope of countless casual cultivators. Often, discovering a secret realm that no one has discovered can make a low-level casual cultivator become rich overnight, and then open the ladder to a higher realm.
Of course, more often than not, those casual cultivators who discovered the secret realm leaked the information because they were not strong enough or were not careful enough, and ultimately lost their lives and benefited others in vain.
This is also the cruelty of the world of immortality.
Ma Shaoyang actually took a risk when he approached Zhou Yang to trade, because Zhou Yang could completely kill him by crossing the river and destroying the bridge after arriving at the destination, without paying him any compensation at all.
This kind of thing is also very common in the world of immortality.
However, through these years of inquiring, he gradually got to know Zhou Yang's personality. After several contacts, Zhou Yang gave him the impression that he was very decent, not like the kind of ruthless person who would burn bridges by crossing rivers, so he finally decided to do it.
I chose to believe Zhou Yang.
Of course, he didn't leave anything behind.
When he went to find Zhou Yang, he had already arranged for one of his sons to go to other oases to avoid trouble.
If he didn't go back afterwards, but Zhou Yang did.
His son would spread the news of "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire" throughout the immortal world, and expose Zhou Yang's ugly face of crossing the river and destroying the bridge, ruining his and the Zhou family's reputation, and no longer being trusted by any casual cultivators.
Any big family or sect must have a good reputation. No matter how many dirty things they do in private, they still have to maintain a good reputation on the surface, so that the largest group of casual cultivators in the world of immortality can feel at ease with them.
