Chapter 328: Eliminating Evil for the People (4)
“I need to use this.” Old Zao held a pitch-black ore in his hand.
“Is this black crystal ore?” Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully.?Why is this black crystal ore different from the ones I’ve seen before?
“This is a black crystal ore core I obtained by chance. It’s extremely hard, and my flame can’t melt it, so I need your help,” Old Zao explained.
“Oh, then let’s begin!” Leng Ruoxue said.
“Okay. Lass, use your flame to light the furnace for me.” Old Zao sat cross-legged in front of the furnace.
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue released a small flame at her fingertips and threw it into the furnace. But the small flame melted the furnace in the blink of an eye…
“Ah! My furnace!” Old Zao exclaimed loudly, his heart aching.?Boohoo… This was my best furnace! Wait, wasn’t the girl’s flame a divine flame??My master passed down this furnace, so it should be able to withstand divine flames!
“Lass, let me see your flame again,” Old Zao said doubtfully.
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue released a small flame from her fingertips and handed it to Old Zao.
Old Zao jumped up in shock. “Hot, so hot. Lass, keep your flame away from me.”
Leng Ruoxue helplessly moved the flame away. “Is this far enough?”
“Yes .” Old Zao widened his eyes and carefully observed the small flame that was only the size of a fingernail. This flame… seemed to be a little different from the last time he saw it. It seemed to be hotter. The flame used to be red with purple, but the purple wasn’t obvious. But now, the proportion of purple seemed to be getting larger, and it had become a little more transparent.?Could… could the flame have evolved?
After observing for a long time, Old Zao asked uncertainly, “Lass! Has your flame evolved?”
“Yes, it has already evolved twice,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. The reason her flame evolved was entirely due to her Heaven Defying Art. Moreover, her flame could evolve every time she cultivated to another level of the Heaven Defying Art. But her flame would only be in the most perfect state when she cultivated to the fifth level of Heaven Defying Art. If she cultivated her Heaven Defying Art to the ninth level, her flame would be in the most extreme state.
“Uh!” Old Zao was speechless. He had lived for so long, and this was the first time he had heard that flames could evolve. Not only did this little monster’s flame evolve, but it had actually evolved twice.?This was so infuriating! I don’t want to live anymore! Boohoo…
“Lass! You destroyed my furnace!” Old Zao said with a long face.
“I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s because your furnace isn’t sturdy,” Leng Ruoxue said somewhat guiltily.
“Not sturdy? This furnace belonged to my master’s master’s master’s master’s master’s master’s… It was handed down generation after generation. We used it for thousands of years, and it was always fine, but you destroyed it all at once. Boohoo… I don’t want to live anymore. I don’t have the face to see our old ancestors from my artificing lineage anymore. Boohoo…” Old Zao wailed while praying in his heart.?Lass! Hurry up and say it! Compensate me!
Leng Ruoxue looked at the crying Old Zao with a face full of black lines. She was speechless.?Wasn’t it just an artificing furnace? Why does it seem like his relatives died? Alas! Does he have to go that far!
“Alright, stop crying. I’ll compensate you with one.” Leng Ruoxue surrendered.
“Really? Then I want a good one,” Old Zao said, pushing his luck.?Hehe, I was waiting for this sentence. This girl has so many good things!?Therefore, he had to seize the opportunity.
“Don’t worry. My trashiest ones are better than yours,” Leng Ruoxue said honestly. Among the things her master had left her, there were also many artificing and alchemy furnaces. But they had been piled in the utility room, and she had no time to organize them.
“Hehe, let’s go get it now!” Old Zao said impatiently.
“Let’s go!” The three of them left Old Zao’s artificing workshop and headed straight for the purple bamboo house.
“Eh, Xue’er, you finished so quickly?” Leng Qingtian, who was sitting on a stone bench, asked curiously.
“No. My flame melted Old Zao’s furnace, so I have to compensate him with one,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“Little Girl! Don’t fall for Old Zao’s trick! The quality of Old Zao’s furnace was probably too poor!” Old Man reminded.
“Nonsense. It was the artificing treasure passed down for generations in my lineage. How could the quality be poor?” Old Zao stomped his feet in anger.
“You also said it was passed down for generations. It must have been used for too long and became a little old.” Old Man deliberately argued.
“Bullshit! I’ve never heard of an aging furnace.” Old Zao was so angry that he clenched his teeth. He really wanted to go up and bite him ruthlessly, but he couldn’t beat him.?Boohoo…
“Lass…” Old Zao knew that he couldn’t do anything to Old Man, so he looked at Leng Ruoxue pitifully, hoping that the girl could uphold justice for him.
“Don’t you want a furnace? Come in and choose quickly!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. She couldn’t do anything to these two bickering old men.
“Oh, let’s go quickly,” Old Zao urged while looking at Old Man provocatively.
The three of them walked into the purple bamboo house. Leng Ruoxue led Old Zao into the utility room and pointed at the various artificing furnaces placed randomly by the wall. “Choose yourself!”
“Hehe, Lass, I won’t hold back then!” Old Zao’s eyes lit up as he drooled. Then he rushed toward the furnaces…
Leng Ruoxue and Freak found a random place to sit down not far from Old Zao.
Old Zao was half lying in the pile of artificing furnaces, looking left and right. But he didn’t know what to choose because in his eyes, every single one of these furnaces was top-grade and the favorites of artificers!?Boohoo… I want every one of them. What should I do??He was very conflicted…
