Chapter 495 - 492: The Number One Flame in the Mortal World
"Congratulations to you," the thoughts of the Bronze Coffin Elder transmitted from the storage ring, "You've refined the Li Fire!"
"Thanks to the guidance of my senior, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to refine the Li Fire in such a short period of time."
"There's something I forgot to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Li Fire has a pretty badass ability, guess what it is?"
"I can't guess, just tell me quickly."
"Li Fire possesses the ability to devour other flames," the Bronze Coffin Elder said no more ambiguously, "Except for the Samadhi True Fire, it can devour all other flames."
Gao Fei's eyes lit up, "That's awesome."
"Well, of course it's awesome, it's the Li Fire we're talking about."
"Besides devouring flames, does it have any other abilities?"
"You'll have to discover those on your own; as the number one fire of the Mortal World, it certainly possesses exceptional capabilities. Oh, and there's one more thing I need to remind you of."
"Please, go ahead, senior."
"Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to reveal the Li Fire. If others see it, they will definitely try to snatch it from you. With your current level of cultivation, you're not yet capable of protecting it."
"I understand. I will treat the Li Fire as my ace in the hole, not to be used unless it's absolutely necessary."
"All right, enough with the idle chatter; hurry up and use the Li Fire to dissect the Dragon Corpse," the Bronze Coffin Elder instructed, "Start by breaking open the abdomen to extract the Dragon Pill. I only need the Dragon Pill; everything else is yours."
Gao Fei stood up, approached the Dragon Corpse, and began to burn it with the Li Fire. True to its reputation as the foremost fire of the Mortal World, the power of the Li Fire was incredibly terrifying. After only a short while, the abdomen of the Dragon Corpse showed dark marks, and a burnt stench wafted through the air, choking Gao Fei into a coughing fit.
After an hour.
A large hole had been burnt into the abdomen of the Dragon Corpse, a cubic zhang in size, allowing a person to enter and exit.
Gao Fei withdrew the Li Fire, then leaped into the Dragon Corpse. After rummaging around inside for a while, he emerged with a silver-colored bead, "Senior, this should be the Dragon Pill, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the Dragon Pill! It's definitely the Dragon Pill!" the Bronze Coffin Elder exclaimed excitedly: "Quick, quick, hand me the Dragon Pill."
"Okay." Gao Fei swiped his hand over the storage ring, and a bronze coffin appeared before him, the lid already opened. Gao Fei stepped forward and placed the Dragon Pill into the coffin.
"Whoosh!"
A shadowy figure darted into the Dragon Pill.
"Hahaha... Yes, yes!!" the Bronze Coffin Elder's thoughts emanated from within the Dragon Ball, "I'm going to take a good sleep inside the Dragon Pill, and I don't know when I'll wake up. Don't come looking for me during this time... I'm leaving you the Bronze Coffin as a token of my gratitude."
"Alright, I will take care of the Bronze Coffin on the senior's behalf. Once you awaken, I will return it to you," said Gao Fei.
"No need for you to return it. I said it's a gift for you, and I will not take it back. Oh, and there's one more thing I need from you."
"Please say it, senior. I will do my best to fulfill it as long as it's within my capabilities."
"Take good care of the Dragon Pill, make sure not to lose it, and especially do not let anyone else snatch it away."
"No problem! I will take good care of the Dragon Pill! I absolutely won't lose it, Senior, rest assured," Gao Fei promised.
"I'm going to sleep." So-called sleeping was actually cultivating, as the old man in the bronze coffin did not have a physical body and could only hide in a safe place, using sleep as a means to cultivate.
The Dragon Pill slowly floated up, flew out of the bronze coffin, and landed in Gao Fei's palm.
Gao Fei examined the Dragon Pill in his hand, his eyes flashing with amazement, "So this is the Dragon Pill! It indeed looks extraordinary!" After admiring it for a moment, Gao Fei placed the Dragon Pill into his storage ring. The Dragon Pill also had another name called "Dragon Ball." Some people were accustomed to calling it Dragon Pill, while others were used to calling it Dragon Ball, but in fact, they referred to the same thing, essentially the inner core of a true dragon.
In the following time, Gao Fei began to dissect the dragon corpse, starting with the dragon head, taking down its horns, then moving to the dragon whiskers, claws, tendons, skin, tail...
It took him a full three days to finish the task.
"A weight off my mind," Gao Fei sighed with relief. The dragon corpse couldn't be minimized and stored in the storage ring, so it had to be placed in a hidden location. This was risky, as it could be discovered by someone any day... Now it was better, the dragon corpse was dissected into pieces, which could be stored in the storage ring.
After cleaning up the scene, Gao Fei flew away. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, Gao Fei's flying speed had greatly increased.
Half an hour later, Gao Fei returned to the military camp.
"My lord, you've returned," Chen San and Liu Qing came up to greet him quickly.
"Has everything been alright at the military camp while I was away?" Gao Fei asked casually.
"All is well," Chen San replied.
"Take this and distribute it," Gao Fei handed a storage bag to Chen San.
Chen San was startled, "What is this?"
"Something good. I guarantee you'll be thrilled once you see it," Gao Fei said, walking away with his hands behind his back and a swagger in his step.
"What is it? So mysterious!" Chen San opened the storage bag to see, "Holy shit! It's... woo woo..." Chen San's mouth was suddenly covered, swallowing the rest of his words. Chen San shook off Liu Qing's hand, "What are you covering my mouth for? Trying to suffocate me?"
"There are many people in the military camp with prying eyes; you better be careful what you say, it'll be trouble if someone hears," Liu Qing said.
"You have a point." Chen San skillfully put away the storage bag and then turned to leave, "Let's go find a place to divide it."
Liu Qing followed quickly.
What exactly was in the storage bag that excited Chen San so much? You might have guessed by now, right? Yes, the storage bag contained dragon whiskers, dragon skin, dragon tail, and some dragon meat. These items were treasures, and of course, Chen San would be thrilled.
...
In the quaint room filled with curling incense smoke, a faint fragrance permeated the air.
Gao Fei sat on a chair, carefully organizing his treasures...
The Thousand Transformations Stone could morph into various magical artifacts; the bronze coffin was a defensive-type Spiritual Treasure. Li Fire was the number one fire in the Mortal World, the Drug-absorbing Bug could absorb all kinds of potent poisons, and there was also a life-saving talisman... Eighteen steles of unknown origin, thirteen black spheres... along with a large amount of Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Grass, dragon horns, whiskers, claws, and so on.
His spells included: Heavenly Demon Transformations, Immortal Buddha Finger, Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance, among others.
Carefully counting, Gao Fei owned quite a lot of items, truly like a great tycoon.
If these treasures were to be ranked, the Demon God Heritage would definitely come first, as Gao Fei's achievements today were all thanks to the Demon God Heritage! The Thousand Transformations Stone would come second, followed by Li Fire in third place, while the bronze coffin, black spheres, life-saving talisman, Heavenly Demon Transformations, and Immortal Buddha Finger all tied for fourth place. There was no need to rank the remaining items.
One thing filled Gao Fei with puzzlement, and that was the eighteen steles. He had researched them for several days but still couldn't ascertain the origins of the steles. The one thing he was certain of was that they were no ordinary items.
