[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained an extra chance by consuming 5000 emotion points!]
You can choose either of the following two options!
Option 1: Forged Purple Pot (Reshapes flames, reduces their threat level, and increases their grade)
Option 2: Spirit Concealment Jade Armor (Applied to the forehead, it blends into the surrounding environment, making one invisible)
"Both are very good..."
Nie Yuan scanned the information on the two items. The invisibility effect of the Spirit Concealment Jade Armor was simply too good for treasure hunting.
They can take things away silently.
After hesitating for a second, Nie Yuan still chose the Forged Purple Pot.
There is no other reason.
What attracted him to this pot was its ability to control and enhance the flame.
He was already worried that since the strange fire was from the world of Dou Qi, it might not be effective against cultivation techniques from the upper realm.
That was a relief.
Just as its name suggests, the Forged Purple Teapot is a deep purple teapot with numerous patterns on its surface.
Nie Yuan held it in his hand; it was icy cold and didn't seem like something that could be associated with flames.
"Let's see if we can refine battle qi."
Nie Yuan suddenly realized that his fighting spirit was of the fire attribute, which should also fall under the category of flames.
Nie Yuan opened the lid of the pot and poured his fighting spirit into it, the flames of which were orange-red in color.
But once inside the pot, it emitted no light at all.
The purple pot is like a bottomless pit.
Nie Yuan was somewhat horrified. He had poured almost all of his fighting spirit into it, but it still couldn't be filled.
Finally, Nie Yuan stopped.
It wasn't that the purple pot couldn't hold it all; it was that he truly had no more drops left.
whoosh—
After the lid was closed, the surface of the calcined purple pot shone with luster, and the sound of bellows being pulled could be heard from inside.
The surface temperature of the pot increased significantly, but it was still within an acceptable range, and Nie Yuan held it without putting it down.
Before long, a burst of flames emerged from the spout of the pot.
Without a second thought, Nie Yuan decided to draw the flames into his body.
The next second...
"Cough cough..."
Nie Yuan coughed violently, his face flushed red, and he tore open his clothes, revealing his chest as if it were on fire, emitting a red glow, and the bones under his skin were clearly visible.
"What's going on? The battle aura has become many times more violent than before!"
Fortunately, he realized something was wrong and stopped absorbing the rest. Nie Yuan felt a wave of fear afterward.
If he absorbs it all, he will definitely be seriously injured.
Looking at the fire-attribute battle qi that had gathered together, Nie Yuan frowned.
What happened to reducing the threat of fire?
Nie Yuan opened the lid with a puzzled look and was surprised to find that there was actually flame battle energy inside.
The fighting spirit he felt was extremely powerful and pure, yet posed no real threat.
With a thought, Nie Yuan easily absorbed the fiery battle qi back into his body.
"I understand. The flames it separates out are the impure parts, and they will be more violent than the previous flames."
Silently comparing the before and after, Nie Yuan suddenly realized that his internal energy had improved, but not by much.
"It seems that its left and right sides are more like uncontrolled flames than internal battle qi."
Nie Yuan played with it for a while, then suddenly his ears twitched as he heard footsteps approaching outside. He quickly put away the Forged Purple Pot.
Just after he dispersed the flames on the ground, a sound came from outside.
"Sect Master, I am Gu He. Please come out and meet me."
Guhe stood outside the tightly closed door with his hands clasped in front of him.
He glanced up slightly, saw no movement, and was about to speak again.
Before coming, he had already asked and confirmed that Nie Yuan was here. *Squeak*
The door opened from the inside, and Nie Yuan came out.
"Elder Gu, is there something you need from me?"
He looked at Guhe with some surprise.
Gu He said, "Sect Master, what you did today went too far. The Sect Master has always been thinking of you. How could you do such a thing in front of her?"
Nie Yuan was taken aback. "Elder Gu, did you come here specifically to talk to me about this?"
"Sect Leader, I don't mean to criticize you."
Gu He's tone softened, "To be honest, the sect leader came to the capital today to help me seize the strange fire, and the sect leader is so dedicated to doing so."
"It's also because they know I possess a different kind of fire, which allows me to refine the Calamity-Breaking Pill, helping you break Queen Medusa's sealing spell."
"There's no need."
Nie Yuan didn't want to accept this favor; he had already broken the sealing spell, he just hadn't said it out loud.
Gu He didn't quite understand. "Sect Master, the Sect Leader is such a good woman, why are you targeting her? Is it really as you say, that the Sect Leader did something to wrong you?"
"Elder Gu, you have overstepped your bounds. This is not something you should be asking about. Besides, if you want to know, you can go to her directly."
Nie Yuan frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face.
Gu He sighed and said, "The sect leader and I are about to go to the temple of the snake people. It is a place full of dangers. Sect leader, you should be able to understand. If the sect leader is not at ease at this time, and something happens to him, it will be a loss for the entire sect."
"So what? Elder Gu, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Nie Yuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Sect Master, I hope you can return to the sect and sit down for a proper talk with the Sect Master."
Gu He speaks frankly.
He didn't want Yun Yun to go to the Snake-Man Temple with a grudge in her heart, as that would easily lead to impulsive actions.
Moreover, in this matter, the sect leader cried so bitterly, making Nie Yuan seem more like a heartless man.
Nie Yuan was speechless.
So Gu He came all this way because he was thinking of Yun Yun's sake.
No wonder the dignified Pill King was willing to become an honorary elder of the Yunlan Sect; he was really eager to curry favor with them.
It's a pity that you old man don't understand at all that Yunyun has never appreciated your kindness.
It's thanks to me that I blocked part of the way for you.
Otherwise, if you get dumped by Yunyun at the wedding, you'll probably be even more heartbroken.
Nie Yuan pondered for a moment.
In the Jia Ma Empire, Gu He still has some use to the Yunlan Sect, so it's best not to break ties with him.
He patted Gu He on the shoulder, "Elder Gu, instead of wasting your energy, you should think about yourself first. As far as I know, strange fire is not so easy to refine. Are you ready?"
Hearing this, Gu He was stunned. He didn't expect that Nie Yuan would not only not be angry, but would still consider the issue from his own perspective.
At the same time, he was also reminded.
"Sigh, I've tried refining several batches before, and I was just about to succeed. I was planning to buy some more medicinal herbs."
Guhe's expression darkened.
"Elder Gu, do you need any more materials?"
Nie Yuan's eyes brightened.
He had the materials, originally intended for refining the strange fire, but now that he had the Forging Fire Purple Pot, he didn't need them at all.
It would definitely not be worthwhile to return something worth over a million gold coins to the sect.
After all, I borrowed the money, so I definitely have to pay it back.
Nie Yuan immediately said, "Elder Gu, I happen to have some here, but I bought it myself. How about I sell it to you?"
"Sect Leader, you bought some too?"
Gu He was somewhat surprised. Did the sect leader really want to compete with him for the strange fire?
But then again, the sect leader's strength was sealed at the Great Dou Master level, so even with the materials, he lacked the ability.
Seeing that Nie Yuan actually took out the materials, Gu He bought them all without saying a word.
For him, time is more important than money.
