Song Lian's sudden words made Ye Chen feel as if things had finally turned around.
"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Song." Ye Chen said gratefully.
Of course, the other party did this for a reason. At the very least, Ye Chen must remember this favor.
However, Song Lian's expression remained serious as he reminded him, "Young friend Ye, there's no need to be like this. Although I can tell you the location of the secret place, I still have to remind you..."
"That place is a maze valley deep in the mountains. If you go too deep, you can easily get lost. Back then, Lu Laogui invited me to explore with him, wanting to see what was there, but after going too deep, we actually got lost.
For a whole month, we ourselves didn't know how we got out of this situation, so I'd better remind you to be careful."
After hearing the reminder, Ye Chen felt heavy-hearted.
It seems that the place is not a good place... But according to Song Lian, it does look a bit like some ancient ruins.
"Originally, I thought it was some special place where a meteorite fell..." Ye Chen muttered to himself, but he also took it to heart and prepared to consider carefully whether to take the risk.
After putting this matter aside for the time being, in the next two days, Ye Chen, Song Qing and Dan Xuan, the three young talented alchemists, couldn't help but start to compete with each other.
After all, they are all young people. Although they admire each other's talents and abilities, no one will consider themselves inferior to others.
Just like Song Qing, although Ye Chen was better at refining medicine, he was still very dissatisfied in other aspects...
"How about, Brother Ye, how about we have a competition of playing with fire?" Song Qing said to Ye Chen eagerly.
As an alchemist, playing with fire is basic.
Of course, Song Qing's so-called playing with fire did not mean relying on fire beasts to fight directly like he did in the Fire Dragon Mountains.
The alchemists' control over fire also enables them to possess very good alchemy fire skills!
The art of Danhuo requires very high precision control of flames, and the strength of the flames is also very important.
As for the latter, although Song Qing knew that Ye Chen's nameless silver flame was very powerful, he believed that his own Blue Sea Ghost Flame was not weak at all.
As for the control of fire, that is Song Qing's forte, so he wants to suppress his "little brother" Ye Chen in this regard, so that he can restore some of his confidence that has been completely crushed.
"Playing with fire?" Ye Chen looked at Song Qing, who was eager to try, with amusement. It seemed that this guy was still a little unwilling to accept it...
But, playing with fire compared to yourself?
You don't know the horror of cheating!
"Okay, I'm actually quite confident in my fire control."
Dan Xuan, who was standing next to them, looked at the two of them with interest and said with a smile, "How about this? I'll be the referee for Brother Ye and Brother Song, how about that?"
Ye Chen and the other person naturally nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them came to a small square in the Danxuan courtyard.
Standing opposite each other, Song Qing couldn't help but raise his hand first, and a dark blue flame like a stream of water appeared on his palm. The terrifying temperature of the blue sea flame reflected on his face, making Song Qing's face seem a little unreal.
Danxuan, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and looked a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, someone with Song Qing's background would possess such a powerful flame.
This wasn't because Danxuan was judging people by their weaknesses, but rather because a pharmacist family like the Song family could only be considered to be in the middle or lower ranks in the Dan Domain...
Even if such a family really has a talented alchemist, there is still a big gap in many hardware conditions compared to those from big families.
This is determined by your innate conditions and cannot be changed just because you want to.
Like the flame that is so important to alchemists...
For ordinary alchemists, they can only rely on their own fighting spirit to condense the flame. In this way, not only is the flame temperature insufficient to better refine high-level medicinal materials, but the consumption of refining medicine will also be very high, making it impossible for the alchemist to support the terrifying time of refining high-level pills before he is strong enough.
Although the Douqi Continent possesses special existences such as strange fires, obtaining them depends purely on luck. Not to mention ordinary people, even the five major families in the Dan Realm have not obtained even one so far.
It is precisely because of this that beast fire has become the favorite of alchemists and one of the most important conditions.
The five major families have alchemists of high enough levels, so they can hire Dou Zong or even Dou Zun level strongmen to collect powerful beast fire for them. In this way, accumulated from generation to generation, the types and strengths of beast fire they can possess are unimaginable to ordinary people.
As for the Song family where Song Qing was, Danxuan also knew something about it.
It is just an ordinary alchemist family. The strongest person in the family is only a sixth-grade senior alchemist. Such a level cannot attract truly strong people.
After taking a deep look at Song Qing who was controlling the Blue Sea Flame, Danxuan couldn't help but raise his position in his heart.
Compared with Song Qing's Blue Sea Flame, although Ye Chen's spark seemed to be stronger, it was not too surprising for Danxuan.
After all, as early as when Ye Chen showed his talent in alchemy, his special flame had already been displayed in front of everyone from the five major families, so it was also recorded carefully.
Seeing that Ye Chen was ready, Song Qing no longer hesitated. His eyes were filled with a fiery fighting spirit. With a thought, the dark blue flame in his hand began to fall from his palm to the ground like a stream of water...
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He didn't expect that the other party's flame had such magical properties.
The dark blue sea flames covered the ground under Song Qing's feet, and then under his control, it bombarded Ye Chen like a raging storm.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be unconcerned about the raging waves. Silver sparks suddenly surged in the palm of his hand, and finally turned into two silver lines, like two spiritual silver snakes, moving quickly up and down, completely protecting it.
A breath later, the blue waves crashed onto the silver reefs.
The liquid-like blue flames continuously invaded the sparks around Ye Chen, trying to break through the latter's defense.
Although this silver spark was not as turbulent as the blue flame, it firmly blocked the invasion of the blue flame, leaving the latter with no room to escape.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled. From his ten fingers, lines of fire emerged, like tiny threads. They then entangled with each other, instantly forming a flexible long whip that billowed with silver flames...
He just shook his long whip and swung it on the ground, directly tearing the dark blue "sea level" on the ground, and then turned it into the purest fire and dissipated in the air.
