Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 373
Chapter 373 Borrow Earth Fire
Ye Feng personally sent the four elders down to Jurassic Peak. As the four of them thanked him, Ye Feng returned to Jurassic Peak.
Behind them were ten core disciples. Each of them revealed expressions of reverence. They could no longer see through Ye Feng. In their eyes, the Ten First Elder were basically high above them, far beyond their reach. Today, they had completely subverted their minds. The Four First Elder were extremely polite to Ye Feng, and even a little complimentary.
“Hu!”
After returning to the mountain peak, Ye Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He finally sent them away and finally calmed them down.
“I want to go out. You guys watch the mountain!”
Ye Feng returned to rest briefly and prepared to leave Jurassic Peak.
“Send Senior Brother Ye respectfully!”
At this moment, the ten of them had long since respected Ye Feng as a god. They had advanced to a direct disciple, killed Ma Ruli who was ranked in the top fifty, fought against the first person of the Saint Son without losing out. The four First Elder had come to meet each other, and they were very complimentary. These signs showed that Ye Feng had already established himself among direct disciples.
After leaving Jurassic Peak, Ye Feng went to Xuan courtyard, met some old friends, and then rushed towards Dan Temple.
Ye Feng had two goals. First, to turn the spirit herbs on his body into spirit pills. Second, to go to the Library Hall to search for information about the space debris.
There were only these two paths in front of him. Ye Feng went to the alchemy temple in the daytime and read books in the library in the evening.
He was not a disciple of the Pill Monastery. In order to enter and refine pills, he had to obtain the approval of the Pill Monastery Master. In the entire Heavenly Spirit Academy, only the Pill Monastery had Earth Fire.
The only person that Dan Guan Ye Feng knew was Leng Xue. If he wanted to borrow Earth Fire to refine pills, Ye Feng could only find Leng Xue first and let her come forward to see if she could help him borrow Earth Fire.
On the way to the Pill Monastery, many disciples saw Ye Feng and were polite. Not to mention whether they recognized him or not, just because Ye Feng wore the clothing of a direct disciple, they were respectful.
“Junior Brother, may I ask which way I should go to find Senior Sister Leng Xue?”
The Heavenly Spiritual Academy was incomparably huge. What Ye Feng knew was only a general location. He had never been to many places. This was the first time he had visited the Pill Monastery. He did not know that the complicated terrain inside was normal.
Because of the earth fire, the earth veins here were very unstable, so when the buildings were built, they were very irregular, and it was easy to get lost.
“If you’re looking for Senior Sister Leng Xue, then you’ve found the right person. I’ll take you there. Senior Sister Leng should be refining pills in the Fire Lotus Lake now!”
This disciple was very polite and led Ye Feng to a distant mountain peak.
After walking for about an incense stick of time, Ye Feng felt that the temperature around him was getting higher and higher. He could only use some ice true energy to block this heat wave.
The disciple leading the way beside him did not have a trace of sweat on his body. It was very normal. Ye Feng was very puzzled. He was at the Heavenly Martial Realm and felt very hot. Why could a small inner sect disciple withstand such a heat wave?
“Senior Brother, are you very puzzled why I can’t feel the heat wave?”
This disciple glanced at Ye Feng and saw the puzzlement in his eyes.
Ye Feng nodded. He was indeed interested.
“Look, it’s this thing!”
A palm-sized green jade appeared in the disciple’s hand, sparkling and translucent, emitting bursts of cold air.
“Frost Spirit Stones!”
Ye Feng recognized it at a glance and finally understood why they were not afraid of the heat wave.
This type of Frost Spirit Stone was extremely peculiar. A fingernail-sized Frost Spirit Stone was a treasure in the Mortal Dimension. If worn on one’s body, it could be used as a summer shelter.
In the Mortal Realm, it was a treasure, but it was not worth much in the cultivation world. According to what Ye Feng knew, the Heavenly Spirit Academy had a small Cold Spirit Range in a certain mountain range, and the Cold Spirit Stones extracted were enough to maintain the academy.
The closer he got to the mountain peak in front of him, the more intense the heat wave became. The forehead of this disciple started to sweat. However, he was still able to insist that Ye Feng channeled out the True Ice Qi and wrapped it around himself. There was no special feeling.
Entering the bottom of the mountain peak, Ye Feng saw many special buildings. Each building was round, as if it was covering something.
Ye Feng knew that under every strange building was an earth fire opening. The higher he went, the denser the power of the fire became.
“Senior Brother, I can only lead you here. Up there is the core disciple area. Furthermore, I can’t withstand the heat waves above. Senior Sister Leng Xue is in the third building. You should be able to find her when you enter!”
This disciple was sweating profusely, and his pill temple was divided into several grades. Inner sect disciples could only go below the mountain peak, because if they went up, the power of fire would devour them.
Only core disciples could enter the middle of the mountain peak and barely withstand the power of the earth fire.
As for the mountain peak, it was rumored that even direct disciples would not be able to last for long. Only a few antiques from the Pill Monastery were refining pills on it. The flames there were even more terrifying. Ordinary people would be roasted to meat jerky when they went up.
“Thank you so much. This is just a small token of gratitude!”
Ye Feng threw out thousands of True Spirit Pills and then walked towards the mountain peak.
There were quite a few buildings in the lower half of the mountain peak, mainly because there were more inner sect disciples. Compared to the other hall entrances, there were fewer disciples of the Pill Monastery. The main requirement for pill refinement was talent. Furthermore, pill refinement was time-consuming and energy-consuming, delaying cultivation.
Regarding the Divine Martial Continent, most people still chose martial cultivation, followed by pill refining. There were also some people who had both, but their cultivation speed would definitely slow down a lot.
However, some geniuses were able to concoct many top-grade pills with the aid of pill refining. They consumed large amounts of spirit pills every day, and their strength increased very quickly.
This was the saying that there were advantages and disadvantages. Although refining pills took time to cultivate, the advantage of refining pills was that they could obtain a large number of miraculous pills and quickly increase their strength.
After spending a cup of tea time, Ye Feng walked to the middle of the mountain peak. He felt waves of hot air coming from under his feet. The buildings not far away were all specially treated. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to maintain such a high temperature.
Entering the circular building, there was a large empty space in the middle, and there were rows of rooms circling around the entire building. It was estimated that there were disciples refining pills in each room.
At this time, a disciple pushed open the pill refining room and walked out. His face was dejected, and there was a layer of black ash on his face. Ye Feng guessed that the pill refining had failed.
“Senior Brother, may I ask if Senior Sister Leng Xue is here?”
Ye Feng was still very polite and did not have any pride.
This disciple was getting annoyed and was about to explode. Seeing that Ye Feng was a direct disciple and was about to curse, he suddenly stopped and almost shrunk his neck.
“Senior Sister Leng is in the fifth room. You can see it when you turn around!”
This disciple was only a core disciple, so when he encountered a direct disciple, he could only obediently lower his head.
“Thank you!”
Ye Feng didn’t care either. He followed the direction that the disciple pointed at and walked to the left. He turned a corner, and there were rows of pill refining rooms. They were much better than the ones on the periphery just now.
Just as he was standing in the fifth pill refining room, Ye Feng knocked on the stone door, not daring to speak loudly, so as not to disturb the pill refining inside.
After waiting for more than ten breaths of time, the stone door slowly rose and a young girl appeared in front of Ye Feng.
“Ye Feng, why are you here!”
Leng Xue wiped away the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of surprise.
“Can’t I come and see Senior Sister Leng?”
Ye Feng teased.
“Of course, please come in!”
This was a pill refining room dedicated to Leng Xue. The decoration was very elegant. After entering, it exceeded Ye Feng’s imagination.
Not only was there a pill refining room, there were also bedrooms and cultivation rooms. Everything was complete. Apart from the heat waves coming from the pill refining room, the other two rooms were very cool and there was no heat seeping into them.
“Tell me, why did you suddenly come to my place? Is there something you want to see me about?”
Leng Xue cleaned her face and sweated off the sweat. Compared to her sister, Leng Xue was more easygoing. Although her appearance wasn’t as good as her sister’s, their personalities were completely different.
“Cough cough, I won’t hide anything. I really have something to ask you!”
Ye Feng was a little embarrassed. Up until now, Ye Feng had really not begged anyone else. This was the first time.
‘”Senior Brother Ye, you are too outsider. If you treat me as one of your own, don’t be polite. Furthermore, I still owe you a favor. If it weren’t for you, I would have died in the illusion long ago. Don’t say anything about helping, just say it out loud. As long as I, Leng Xue, can do it, I will never refuse!”
Leng Xue no longer addressed him as Junior Brother Ye. After all, Ye Feng was already a direct disciple.
They had lived and died together in the illusion. Otherwise, Ye Feng would not have rashly come looking for Leng Xue.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I came here this time to borrow your Earth Fire!”
To be honest, Ye Feng had the rules of the academy. If an ordinary disciple wanted to enter the pill temple to refine pills, he had to apply. He had to obtain the approval of the pill temple. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a mess? Even direct disciples had to abide by the rules.
“What do I care? So you want to refine pills? That’s not simple. I have basically all the pills you want. Even if I don’t have any, I will ask the Monastery Master for a few for you!”
Leng Xue smiled. She did not expect that Ye Feng was here to borrow the Earth Fire.
“Thank you Senior Sister Leng, but I want to refine a few pills myself, how dare I trouble Senior Sister!”
Ye Feng did not lack medicinal pills. He only had quite a few spiritual medicines with him. He did not lack resources now. It was a pity that he had obtained the Merit Hall to exchange for them. Therefore, Ye Feng planned to try refining pills himself. Furthermore, he also had a few types of medicinal pills. Even if he went out to exchange them, he might not have them.
“How about this! That’s easier. You can refine it here!”
Leng Xue freed up her pill refining room and lent it to Ye Feng.
“Thank you, Senior Sister!”
Ye Feng stood up and was very polite.
“Senior Brother, why are you being so polite to me? You’ve embarrassed me. I still have this ability. Senior Brother, don’t thank me for all the work you’ve done.”
Leng Xue’s face was flushed with embarrassment, and Ye Feng could not say anything.
“Senior Brother, if you need any materials, you can just tell me. Last time, I obtained quite a few spirit medicines in the illusion, but I still have quite a bit left. I guess senior Brother also came here to turn those spirit medicines into pills!”
Leng Xue was smart and quickly knew why Ye Feng had come.
“That’s right, I do want to refine those spirit medicines into pills!”
Ye Feng did not conceal anything. He was still very polite to his friends and believed them very much.
“Alright then, I won’t delay your refining of pills. If you need anything, you can call me at any time!”
After saying that, Leng Xue brought Ye Feng into the pill refining room. It was about a hundred square meters in size, and there was something similar to a flame stone in the middle. The earth fire was transmitted from here.
“I won’t disturb Senior Brother’s pill refining anymore. I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need anything!”
After Leng Xue finished speaking, she closed the stone door of the pill refining room so as not to disturb Ye Feng.
