My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 315 - 312: Earth Vein Fire

The monkey held the animal skin with both hands: "The Poisonous Pill fears fire. As long as it is burned by fire, the Poisonous Pill will dissipate on its own... After much hesitation, I finally decided to leave the Poisonous Pill inside my body, to serve as a trump card. If I encounter danger in the future, I will self-destruct the Poisonous Pill, perishing together with the enemy."

"Afraid of fire?" A sharp light flickered in Gao Fei's eyes: "Is this the method to cure the poison?"

"I've finished reading…" The monkey put down the animal skin, looking pitifully at Gao Fei: "This time I really finished! I definitely didn't deceive you!"

"Go stand over there. Without my command, you are not allowed to leave or act recklessly." Gao Fei waved his hand.

"Oh." The monkey lowered his head and obediently walked to the side.

Gao Fei pulled up a chair to sit down, and then contacted Xuan Jizi with his mental power: "You heard all that, didn't you?"

"I heard it."

"Based on your experience, is it reliable to use fire to cure the poison?"

"Fire is the most magical and also the most terrifying thing in the world. It can bring you light but also disaster. Since ancient times, many powerful beings have been researching flames, classifying them into many types—some with great power and some with less."

"Just give me a straight answer. Can fire cure the poison or not?"

"We can try, but…"

"But what? Stop beating around the bush and speak up quickly."

"The poison is inside your body, how are you going to use fire to cure it? Besides, the poison has already spread to your internal organs. Using fire to cure it will surely damage them."

"I can't worry about that now!" Gao Fei shook his head: "As long as it can cure the poison, I can endure any suffering."

"Alright then, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further," Xuan Jizi said.

...

At last, he had found the method to cure the poison.

The stone hanging in Gao Fei's heart finally settled.

Introducing fire into one's body was extremely dangerous; the slightest carelessness could cause great harm, or even result in death.

Gao Fei had chosen this method only because he had been driven to desperation.

Choosing this method came with a chance to survive; without it... he could only wait for death. Anyone who wasn't a fool knew what to choose.

"Monkey, come here." Gao Fei gestured to the monkey.

"What do you want me for?" The monkey walked over, trembling with fear.

"Get some rest." Gao Fei struck a palm towards the monkey's head.

"Smack!"

The monkey's eyelids flipped, and he fell backward to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

"Sleep well for a few days. By the time you wake up, the poison in my body will have been cleared."

Gao Fei sealed the entrance to the cave dwelling with a huge stone, then turned back to the secret chamber, sat down cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself.

"Have you really decided?" Xuan Jizi's voice echoed in his mind.

"Do I have any other choice?" Gao Fei retorted: "This is my only chance to live, and I definitely cannot give it up."

"Calm your mind and remember clearly the incantation I told you... When division emerges between heaven and earth, with the first light appearing, the earth gives birth to a flame..." Xuan Jizi said slowly.

Gao Fei listened quietly, committing it to memory.

An hour later, Xuan Jizi asked: "How is it? Have you remembered everything?"

Gao Fei nodded: "I have, without missing a single word."

"Go and train. This is the Fire Control Technique. I learned it from an ancient tome, which is tattered and incomplete. It records many mystical spells, but unfortunately, the tome is so damaged that many of the incantations are illegible. Only the incantation for the Fire Control Technique is relatively intact."

"Fire Control Technique! Just by the name, it sounds powerful!" Gao Fei laughed.

In the following time, Gao Fei concentrated on training the Fire Control Technique.

Several days later, Gao Fei succeeded. He opened his palm and silently recited the spell.

"Bang!"

A flame appeared in the palm of the hand, radiating a burning heat.

"What a magical fire control technique," Gao Fei exclaimed. "To be able to condense fire through fire control technique is truly marvelous." Gao Fei drew all the True Qi stored in his dantian and shielded every part of his body with it.

"Go!"

With a gentle flick of his wrist, Gao Fei sent the flame from his palm flying into his mouth, and then it flowed down his throat into his body...

"Ouch... It's killing me..."

Even though his mouth was protected by True Qi inside and out, he was still scorched by the flame, causing unbearable pain.

After the flame entered his body, it began to move erratically inside him, causing trouble everywhere it went. Gao Fei exerted an immense effort, akin to the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, to finally restrain the flame, and then he manipulated it to burn the poison in his system.

A moment later.

Gao Fei's expression turned ugly. "It's no good, the fire doesn't pose any threat to the poison."

"The fire's power is too low," Xuan Jizi said.

"Low? Do you mean to say that if we changed to a kind of flame with a higher temperature?"

"Yes."

"Which fire should we change to?"

"As far as I know, in this world, the highest temperature flame is Samadhi Fire. It is said to be a flame developed by the Grand Supreme Elder, and its power is extremely terrifying," said Xuan Jizi.

The Grand Supreme Elder too? Gao Fei slightly twitched his mouth. Does Elysium also have legends of the Grand Supreme Elder?

"The Grand Supreme Elder is an immortal from the heavens, second only to the Heavenly Emperor in status."

"Heavenly Emperor? How do you know there's a Heavenly Emperor in the heavens?"

"Just guessing. Any place is bound to have a leader, and the leader of the Immortal Realm must be someone of the Heavenly Emperor level," Xuan Jizi explained.

"I often hear you guys talk about the Immortal Realm, how wonderful it is. It's gotten me quite interested; I really want to see the Immortal Realm for myself," Gao Fei mused.

"Take your time, you're still young, there's plenty of time to strive for it. If you're lucky, maybe you really can visit the Immortal Realm and enjoy yourself," reassured Xuan Jizi.

"Enough chit-chat. Let's get back to the point. Where can we find Samadhi True Fire?" Gao Fei urged.

"I don't know..." Xuan Jizi shook his head. "The Samadhi True Fire is very spiritual. Capturing it is almost impossible. I've read in ancient texts that Samadhi True Fire is a kind of flame from the Immortal Realm and practically does not exist in the Mortal World."

"So much talk, and it all amounts to useless chatter," Gao Fei snorted. "Aside from Samadhi True Fire, what other flames are hot enough to help me detoxify?"

"Li Fire," two words escaped Xuan Jizi's lips.

"Li Fire?" Gao Fei was taken aback. "What is Li Fire? The name sounds very strange."

"Li Fire is a special flame that exists within the Great Mountain Marsh. It has a very high temperature, second only to Samadhi True Fire. Of course, that's just my personal opinion," Xuan Jizi imparted.

"Where can we find Li Fire?"

"Didn't I just say? Li Fire can be found in the Great Mountain Marsh."

"The range you've given is too broad, it's difficult to search. Can you narrow it down?"

"I cannot..."

"Aside from Li Fire, are there any other flames?"

"Yes, there's another type of flame called Earth Vein Fire, which also has a high temperature, but it's far less compared to Samadhi True Fire or Li Fire."

"Earth Vein Fire? Can it detoxify?" Gao Fei asked.

"I don't know. We'll have to try and find out," said Xuan Jizi.

"Is Earth Vein Fire easy to find?"

"As the name implies, Earth Vein Fire exists underground."
