Chapter 76: Man-Made Earth Fire Shocks the Nine Heavens!
The hundred-zhang fire column rushed straight into the sky, yet it only lasted for a few breaths before it seemed to be suppressed by a force.
On Green Bamboo Peak.
Clad in the Golden Yang Robe, Lin Xuan stood by the side of the fire column. He cast several seals with his hands, and the gushing trend of this crimson fire column gradually calmed down.
Lin Xuan sealed the Earth Fire inside the Earth Fire Vent. To the naked eye, it looked like a magma pool with a range of several zhang. Even separated by restrictions, it still emitted intense high temperatures.
"Big liar, this move of yours is amazing—creating Earth Fire through human effort!"
Nearby, Xiao Yu, who had been observing for a long time, determined that the Earth Fire Vent posed no threat. She then curiously flew over, speaking with considerable amazement.
The only place in the Nine Heavens Holy Land that possesses Earth Fire is Artifacts Peak. That Earth Fire Well was also gradually constructed based on a natural Earth Fire Vent.
"This is incredible. This Earth Fire is a type of Spirit Fire, and it is an excellent object for nourishing magical treasures. In the future, we can draw out a branch of Earth Fire and rent it out in exchange for high-grade spirit medicines. Then, I won't have to worry about not having spirit medicines to eat!"
Xiao Yu secretly marveled while simultaneously calculating in her heart.
"Big liar, you aren't thinking of building an artifact refining chamber in this place, are you?"
Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something and asked him.
"Refining artifacts, refining pills, or refining some war treasures that crush the Demon Race's airships—all are possible!"
Lin Xuan replied.
"You know artifact refining and alchemy, and even war treasures that simply crush the Demon Race's airships. How did I not know you were so capable? I want to make a suggestion: we can rent out this Earth Fire using high-grade spirit medicines as the rental method. This method is simply wonderful!"
Xiao Yu excitedly spoke her mind. In an instant, she even saw Tier Four, Tier Five, and even Tier Six spirit medicines flying all over the sky, burying her entire self.
However, after waiting for a moment.
Yet Lin Xuan was still fiddling with something around the Earth Fire Pool.
He seemed to be planning the specific construction scheme for a house. However, looking at the area he marked out, Xiao Yu felt he was not building a house, but rather a rectangular palace occupying tens of mu in the surrounding area.
"Hmph, you as a Holy Son, why refine artifacts? I really don't understand. Wouldn't it be fine to let those old stubborns from Artifacts Peak do it? Renting out Earth Fire for spirit medicines is such a good idea; it's simply perfect!"
Xiao Yu looked at Lin Xuan, who was directly ignoring her, and her small face was filled with anger.
"Hmph, even if you want to refine artifacts or pills, you still need a pill furnace. The highest grade pill furnace magical treasure in our Nine Heavens Holy Land is only that Tier Seven Pill Furnace on Artifacts Peak!"
Xiao Yu said angrily.
Rumble...
Just as her voice fell, Lin Xuan seemed to intentionally anger her. He directly summoned the Twin Dragon Earth Fire Cauldron he had drawn. A pill furnace two stories high descended from the sky and smashed fiercely onto the ground.
The pill furnace, weighing nearly a million jin, caused the ground within a radius of several li to tremble the moment it smashed onto the ground.
The position landed exactly on the Earth Fire Pool.
Xiao Yu froze for a moment, standing angrily in place with her hands on her hips. Her small eyes looked the Twin Dragon Earth Fire Cauldron up and down, as if she were thinking about how to move this big guy away to further develop her grand plan.
And subsequently.
Lin Xuan, who was overlooking and measuring in mid-air, finally spoke slowly.
"Nowadays, the Demon Race dares to openly throw space nodes into our Human Race's territory just by finding any excuse. The ceasefire treaty between the Human and Demon Races has basically been voided. If it were not for the many Human Race great powers on the border lines jointly setting up formations, and the older generation of Tribulation Crossing Realm experts of the Human Race guarding it, the Demon Race, and even the Demon Beast Race, would have already torn off all pretenses with us!"
"Moreover, the Demon Race is more than one grade higher than us in refining war treasures. The five Inner Sect Elders who died this time were all because of the Demon Race's airships. And what I want to refine is a war treasure that can surpass the Demon Race, turning their advantage into a disadvantage!"
Lin Xuan spoke to Xiao Yu with a calm tone.
Behind that Purple Sky Artifact Refining Record, ten thousand types of war treasures were recorded, all left behind by that Extraterrestrial Expert whom Lin Xuan had killed in the past.
Furthermore, beside each type of war treasure, the specific artifact refining technique to be used was noted, all in extreme detail.
"Hmm, I think it's better to draw out a few more small branches, or perhaps draw out another Earth Fire Vent!"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and nodded with a solemn expression.
However, Lin Xuan just glanced at her and said nothing more.
If an Earth Fire Vent were drawn out at another place on Green Bamboo Peak, the entire Green Bamboo Peak would be affected, damaging its foundation.
And at this time.
The news of an Earth Fire Vent appearing on Green Bamboo Peak was passed on by several disciples from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand. Finally, the entire Nine Heavens Holy Land knew that Earth Fire had actually appeared on Holy Son Lin's Green Bamboo Peak.
Yet everyone knew that there was no Earth Fire Vein beneath Green Bamboo Peak.
That was to say, that Earth Fire was artificially opened up by Holy Son Lin.
For man-made Earth Fire, if the other party were a fire-cultivating Tribulation Crossing Realm Ancestor, they would barely be able to shape a man-made Earth Fire through the ability to seize the creation of heaven and earth. Although the effect is weaker than the real thing, it is already considered rare.
However, it was said that the disciples who passed by Holy Son Lin's Green Bamboo Peak recognized the aura of that Earth Fire.
On Artifacts Peak.
Everywhere one looked, there were artifact refining chambers. Outside the towering Artifacts Peak, several airships a hundred zhang long were even docked.
Inside the Council Hall.
Three individuals, all clad in fire-avoidance robes, gathered around a square wooden table and discussed heatedly. In front of the stone table lay a stack of blueprints, which depicted the anatomy of many components of the Demon Race's airships.
There were also many complex Demon Race formations, and they were struggling with the functions of these Demon Race formations.
Mostly, they were speculating and thereby substituting the formations they were familiar with and could engrave to conduct experiments again and again, yet every time was a failed experiment.
To completely replicate such a Demon Race airship was simply too difficult.
Suddenly.
The door to the Council Hall was suddenly pushed open.
A thin man with a hurried look rushed in and bowed respectfully, saying: "Elders, according to reports from subordinate disciples, Holy Son Lin on Green Bamboo Peak has created an Earth Fire Well, shocking a radius of a hundred li!"
"Holy Son Lin created an Earth Fire Well?"
The dissatisfaction on the three people's faces instantly dissipated.
Their eyes were all replaced by a touch of joy.
If this matter were true, they could completely request Holy Son Lin to create another Earth Fire Well for their Artifacts Peak. That would increase their Artifacts Peak's progress by more than double!
"Let's go, let's go; we will personally pay a visit to Holy Son Lin. Since Holy Son Lin ascended to the position of Holy Son, we haven't properly visited him yet!"
Wei Mingxuan, one of the three, hurriedly called out.
The other two also nodded in agreement. They all knew the power of Earth Fire; even Void Refining Realm cultivators with non-fire attribute spiritual roots could not enter the Earth Fire.
Although Holy Son Lin had some deeds that truly made them admire him, they had never heard that Holy Son Lin possessed such ability to seize fortune!
Seeing is believing. Regardless, the three of them very tacitly stopped their arguing and prepared to go visit Lin Xuan
