Chapter 646: Ye Lingyue's Natal Dan Fire
The little boy Long Baobao said that both the Unusual Fire and the Star Fire were divided into several grades.
Colors in the ascending order were white, blue, cyan, red, purple and black.
The fire was inborn or purified and improved after birth. Long Baobao's natal Star Fire was blue. As he grew up and improved his cultivation, the color of his Unusual Fire would change from blue to cyan. In the future, it would even turn into red or purple symbolizing an even higher level.
The Unusual Fire which Ye Lingyue used the Black Cauldron to swallow just now was light green and cyan. It should be a mid-grade cyan fire.
The cyan fire was a mid-grade Unusual Fire but it was not swallowed directly by Ye Lingyue. Only after the Black Cauldron did the eventual purification could the natal Dan Fire be acquired for the Fire-Swallowing Method.
After the Cyan Hell Fire was swallowed, Ye Lingyue stayed long in the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix until the Black Cauldron finished the purification.
After the purification was completed, Ye Lingyue felt a stream of warm energy over her limbs and bones, the energy coming from the Spirit of Fire.
She was eager to know what new Dan Fire she would get after the first Unusual Fire was swallowed.
Ye Lingyue used her god sense and there jumped out a flame in her palm.
The fire was just as big as a bean and it was different from the earlier Cyan Hell Fire and the Blue Star Fire of Long Baobao. The natal Dan Fire in Ye Lingyue's hand was somewhat pale.
"..."
Instantly, Ye Lingyue was like a deflated balloon.
She could not help cursing her fate. She had spent a long time and 9 of her Soul Reaping Chains were snapped. How come the result was the white Dan Fire?
The lowest-grade one?
Just when Ye Lingyue was deeply disappointed, she found that the pale flame seemed to be different from the ordinary white flame.
The pallor was mixed with a hint of turbidity. It was grey rather than pale.
Which grade did the grey fire belong to?
Was it because the Black Cauldron contained black and white breaths that her natal Dan Fire ended up like this?
Ye Lingyue's mouth twitched as if in a cramp.
Luckily, Ye Lingyue soon accepted the fact. After all, the Dan Fire could also be upgraded. The Black Cauldron could swallow the Unusual Fire and she only needed to look for the Unusual Fire or alchemists' Dan Fire constantly. In the worst case, she could still cultivate her natal Dan Fire to a grade beyond the cyan fire.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingyue felt a lot more relieved.
After getting out of the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix, Ye Lingyue found that she had been staying there for a whole day. She entered the matrix after noon yesterday and now it was the deep night after she finished cultivating the grey fire.
Fortunately, there was still time to meet Bo Qing. Ye Lingyue hurriedly changed her clothes and took Little Squeak with her.
Long Baobao obediently waited in his own room. The little boy even dressed himself in a night suit, looking like a stealthy thief. Little Squeak was full of black fur. The two looked quite cute when standing together.
There was no curfew in the City of Mercenaries. At this moment, the streets were still ablaze with lights. Some mercenary soldiers were rushing back to report on completion of their tasks.
Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao soon arrived at the city gate.
It was unknown whether Bo Qing had fled away from Wu Chong's grip.
Ye Lingyue took several steps. Outside the city gate, a slender figure was leaning on the wall. It seemed that the person had been waiting for long.
The damned man Wu Chong.
There was a bruise on the corner of Bo Qing's eye.
Yesterday Bo Qing ran away so awkwardly. He wondered whether the guy called Wu Chong had the dog nose. Even though he used the Breath-Holding Dan Pill, Wu Chong could still find him. Moreover, one of his eyes was badly bruised by Wu Chong.
In order to meet Shisan, Bo Qing spent a whole day treating his bruised eye with boiled eggs.
Just when Ye Lingyue moved closer, Bo Qing turned around with an enchanting smile.
"Shisan."
"Is what you have written on the paper true? You have really found the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo? You have seen it?" Ye Lingyue came straight to the point.
It was all dark and the winds were blowing heavily. If she was not 100% sure that Qiankun Zijin Bamboo could be found in the mountain, she would not sillily follow Bo Qing into the remote and thickly forested mountain.
There were no ferocious spiritual beasts around the City of Mercenaries but Zizhu Mountain was different.
It was said that a great many sinister alchemists and bandits had gathered there.
"I have never seen it." Bo Qing continued smiling in an attractive way.
He had the Qiankun Bag but had never seen the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo used to make the bag.
Bo Qing was the typical person who had only eaten the pork but never seen the pig run.
Ye Lingyue felt speechless and turned around, ready to leave.
"Shisan, don't get angry with me. Although I have never seen it, I am pretty sure that it is no other than the bamboo. Similarly, when I first met you, I knew that I would fall in love with you." Fearing that Ye Lingyue would not believe him, Bo Qing hurried to grab her hand.
The grab stimulated Bo Qing. Ye Lingyue's hand was slender and felt soft and sweet.
Bo Qing kept holding Ye Lingyue's hand, reluctant to loosen his grip.
Ye Lingyue pondered for a while.
Bo Qing was born to be more sensitive to treasures than others.
"The big brother who is more attractive than women. Men and women are different and you cannot grab Sister Black's hand." The innocent voice of the boy interrupted Bo Qing's fancy.
Bo Qing lowered his head and found that Ye Lingyue did not come alone. She had taken two little creatures with her.
Long Baobao who was dressed in black and Little Squeak that was all black.
Now the two cute creatures were both staring at the "wolf claw" of Bo Qing holding Ye Lingyue's hand.
Bo Qing mumbled and could only let go.
He had believed that there would only be him and Shisan. How come these two creatures also appeared?
His eyes and attention were fixed on Ye Lingyue alone. Hardly could he notice anyone else.
After weighing up the pros and cons, Ye Lingyue still decided to follow Bo Qing.
"Pretty brother, I have short legs. Could you please carry me into the mountain?"
After walking a while, Long Baobao found it hard to catch up.
Long Baobao remembered Bo Qing. During the escorting mission, Bo Qing was also in the team and he was the captain of Drinking Blood.
Different from others, Bo Qing seemed to detest children. All along the way, he did not even talk to Long Baobao, let alone carrying the boy.
Today, however, Bo Qing was obviously a little different. He kept giggling at Sister Black all the time.
Bo Qing had intended to refuse flatly.
Unexpectedly, Long Baobao suddenly said.
"Tonight, if Brother Di is here, he will surely carry me. His shoulders are broad and feel quite comfortable."
These words seriously angered Bo Qing.
His shoulders were also broad. Wu Chong could never match him.
"Little Creature, jump on. I will surely make you feel much more comfortable than the damned Ghost Emperor."
Long Baobao smoothly climbed onto the back of Bo Qing. In the deep night, the figures of three people and one beast gradually disappeared in the mountain with lush vegetation.
