Chapter 1988: Chapter 963: Mysterious Fire Sect, Mysterious Yin Cult (2)
At this moment, Qing Nu stood on the stone platform of the Mysterious Fire Sect, eyeing a Lingzhi of a dark red color, resembling crystal jade.
“What keen eyes you have, fellow Daoist. This is our sect’s Mysterious Fire Lingzhi, nurtured for three thousand years within the subterranean fire veins before taking shape. It emerged as a Rank-4, and now this one is at Fourth Rank Superior Grade.”
The Golden Core Cultivator from the Mysterious Fire Sect, named Hong Xiu, began to introduce her sect’s product to Qing Nu in detail. When Chen Mobai saw this Mysterious Fire Lingzhi, he understood Qing Nu’s intention.
This item could substitute for the Sun Holy Fruit as the main ingredient for the Infant-Feeding Elixir. However, perhaps due to insufficient potency, it could only be refined into one pill.
Fortunately, there were three such lingzhi placed on the Mysterious Fire Sect’s platform, signifying their vast resources.
“Do you have any of Fifth Rank?” Qing Nu asked, clearly wanting to go straight to the top.
“We do, but it has already been reserved by my master as an offering, potentially to be exchanged for the Three Lights Divine Water.”
Hong Xiu hesitated but spoke frankly. This time, their master and disciple came to the Beidou Conference mainly to trade for Infant Forming Spirit Medicine.
“What a pity that is…”
In Chen Mobai’s opinion, a Fifth Rank Mysterious Fire Lingzhi could undoubtedly be traded for Three Lights Divine Water. This item was likely to end up in the hands of the Star Heaven Dao Sect.
Nevertheless, this can be seen as good news, as there will still be opportunities for exchange in the future if it’s in the hands of Star Heaven Dao Sect.
Were it with the Mysterious Fire Sect, Chen Mobai did not believe that the Five Elements Sect had the strength to conduct such a business with a Great Holy Land across continents.
Ultimately, Qing Nu purchased a Fourth Rank Superior Grade Mysterious Fire Lingzhi. Because there were many available, Hong Xiu didn’t hesitate for a price comparison and directly exchanged one for a Nirvana Dan.
“Qingqing, come help take a look!”
However, because the Nirvana Dan produced by Danxia Pavilion didn’t have much reputation in the Southern State, Hong Xiu called over a young female alchemist from the adjacent booth to appraise it.
This young girl named Qingqing looked lively but had somewhat coarse skin, evidently from years of alchemy and exposure to fire. She wore a white alchemical robe with a large ‘Medicine’ character embroidered in flame patterns on the cuffs.
Chen Mobai had just obtained information on the major Holy Lands of the Five Continents and Four Seas through Ye Qing and Zhang Pankong and knew that this was the mark of another major sect, the Medicine King Sect in the Southern State, holding a similar status to the Dao Morale Sect in the East Continent.
“Ultimate grade without Dan Poison…”
The young female alchemist named Qingqing widened her eyes in shock upon opening the bottle to appraise it.
Having refined elixirs all her life, she had only managed to refine Rank-1 Elixirs into ultimate grade without Dan Poison.
The Nirvana Dan before her was undoubtedly a Third Rank Superior Grade Elixir. Achieving this in the Medicine King Sect was something only a few Supreme Elders could do, and even then, it depended on luck.
“After consumption, it can help a cultivator purify most of their internal Dan Poison. If one has no Dan Poison, it can be used to enhance their Body Forging Realm.”
This young female alchemist named Qingqing was quite skilled and appraised the Nirvana Dan’s effects clearly.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist!”
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiu immediately realized she had profited and quickly took the most potent Fourth Rank Peak Mysterious Fire Lingzhi from the platform, handing it to Qing Nu.
“These materials are quite good too, they could be used to refine a decent Fourth Rank Weapon…”
At this moment, Chen Mobai also examined the other items on the Mysterious Fire Sect’s platform, paying particular attention to the artifact refining materials. Most of them being fire attribute, he liked them very much. Besides upgrading his Haotian Mirror, he could also refine some Lifebound Artifact Embryos to stock the Xiao Nanshan Store in the East Land, to uphold his ‘one masterpiece per year’ rule as an artifact master.
“Senior, are you also an Artifact Refiner?”
Hong Xiu, upon hearing this, looked at Chen Mobai with a slightly appraising glance.
The Mysterious Fire Sect was the foremost artifact refining sect in the Southern State. In the past, when Yi Yuan True Monarch refined the Primordial Clock, the honored Southern Province’s Great Virtue who assisted was originally from the Mysterious Fire Sect.
“I know a thing or two.”
Chen Mobai was very humble.
“Our master has come to the East Continent this time, besides the Three Lights Divine Water, to invite an East Continent’s artifact refining grandmaster to refine a Fifth Rank Magic Artifact. If you are available, you may discuss with him upon his return. If your artifact refining skill is impressive, our sect is willing to present a Fifth Rank Mysterious Fire.”
Hong Xiu spoke, as Mysterious Fire Sect was renowned for its “Mysterious Fire,” a type of Acquired True Fire capable of elevating to the Sixth Rank.
Besides magic duels, it also holds great effects in artifact refining and alchemy, a True Fire coveted by countless artifact refiners and alchemists in the Tianhe Realm.
The Southern State’s Medicine King Sect’s fame was largely due to their alchemists using Mysterious Fire.
Chen Mobai, possessing Stat Fire, was not particularly interested in Mysterious Fire.
However, obtaining one for Qing Nu’s alchemy would be very beneficial.
Since Qing Nu practiced Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques, if fire was needed during alchemy, aside from Chen Mobai’s Stat Fire, there was only the Hearth Spirit Flame within the gourd. If she acquired Mysterious Fire in the future, she could independently refine high-rank elixirs even without Chen Mobai.
“I will look forward to exchanging insights with Master Yuanhuo at that time.”
The Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Mysterious Fire Sect was known by the Dao title “Yuanhuo,” as Chen Mobai had learned from his conversations with Hong Xiu.
“May I know how to address Senior?”
Hong Xiu took out a jade slip, with Chen Mobai’s address and other information already noted, only lacking his name.
“Five Elements Sect’s Chen Guixian!”
