Chapter 36: This head, what is the price? (Seeking flowers!)

So-called special flames.

Naturally, they had to surpass ordinary flames.

For example, beast fire inside some demonic beasts, essence fire inside volcanoes, and so on.

Additionally, there was another kind of flame that made countless alchemists crazy.

Named Heaven and Earth Strange Fire!

They were born with powerful strength, far exceeding beast fire and essence fire.

Some could even give birth to intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation.

Although alchemists were not as good as those genius martial artists in terms of combat.

But if they could master such a flame, it would produce unimaginable amplification for both alchemy and combat.

An alchemist who possessed Heaven and Earth Strange Fire would not be weaker than a martial artist in combat power, and might even be stronger than the vast majority!

It was just that Heaven and Earth Strange Fire was quite rare.

And it was violent by nature!

Some were difficult to subdue even if encountered, and if forced into the body, it would directly cause the body to explode and die!

So for most alchemists.

Beast fire was actually the best choice!

The flame quality was high.

And it possessed a certain ferocity, which could be used in combat.

"When Senior Sister comes, I can ask where I can get beast fire."

Meng Zhangqing's eyes flickered.

The 'Fire-Controlling Sun-Burning Art' could only accommodate one kind of flame, and it could not be easily changed.

So in terms of choice, one had to be extremely cautious.

"But now I can improve the attainment of the 'Fire-Controlling Sun-Burning Art'."

Meng Zhangqing withdrew his thoughts.

After adding Kong Linxue as a friend, he also triggered an extra reward.

Three Profound-grade martial technique attainment improvement cards!

It was completely enough to raise the 'Fire-Controlling Sun-Burning Art' to the perfection level.

And he would still have one left over.

To cultivate the 'Fire-Controlling Sun-Burning Art', one had to at least reach the minor achievement level to take beast fire into the body and turn it into alchemy fire.

Otherwise, there would be great danger.

But if one reached major achievement, the danger would be much smaller.

As for perfection.

That was almost completely without danger.

Even some extremely strong beast fires could be forcibly accommodated.

"System, improve the 'Fire-Controlling Sun-Burning Art'!"

"Ding!"

"Consumed two Profound-grade martial technique attainment cards!"

"Improvement complete!"

The moment the words fell, more cultivation technique comprehension surged into his mind.

It took about a moment before he absorbed it all.

"'Fire-Controlling Sun-Burning Art' Perfection!"

As a high-grade Profound cultivation technique, the difficulty of cultivation was naturally extremely high.

People like Kong Linxue and Elder Feng had only practiced it to minor achievement.

And he had already reached perfection.

If the people from Medicine King Peak knew about this, they would probably come over and shamelessly snatch him.

Smiling and shaking his head, Meng Zhangqing dispersed his distracting thoughts.

He didn't choose to be lazy and rest.

Instead, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Cultivation was like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat.

This retreat was relative; after all, everyone was progressing, and if you stayed in place, wasn't that retreating?

――

The next day.

The first sun broke the dawn, and the rosy clouds filled the sky.

Meng Zhangqing finished his cultivation and walked out of the room.

The spirit of a martial arts cultivator was relatively abundant, and they could cultivate hard for many days before feeling mental fatigue.

There were many things to do today.

First was to go to the Mission Hall to turn in the mission.

Perhaps because the sect's secret realm was about to open, the inner sect road, which had been somewhat deserted, began to have more people coming and going.

Meng Zhangqing even saw many people with quite good attributes.

When he was in the outer sect, he would definitely have gone to make friends.

But now, there was no need, because his panel could already be said to be very good.

Second-grade root bone, superior comprehension, and three types of talents, etc.

Unless they were better than him, there was no value in making friends.

Soon, Meng Zhangqing arrived at the Mission Hall.

There were more people here than before.

It was just a pity that he still didn't see any True Transmission disciples; it seemed his previous thought was correct, True Transmission disciples would not come to the Mission Hall.

"Soon, it won't be long before I can also step into the Sea-Opening realm."

Meng Zhangqing's eyes were firm.

Ever since he witnessed the power of true qi yesterday, he felt more and more urgent in his heart.

That style, that lethality, who could resist its temptation?

Using the difference between heaven and earth to describe the gap between Qi-Opening and Sea-Opening was not an exaggeration at all.

Collecting his thoughts, Meng Zhangqing looked at the attributes of the people around him as usual.

Although they were all quite good, it was still the same sentence: they were of no great help to him.

Perhaps when he reached the True Transmission level.

There would be a significant change.

Arriving at the counter.

It was still the same Mission Hall disciple.

"Turning in a mission."

Meng Zhangqing took out the token belonging to the Heavenly Copper Hand, which was still stained with blood.

"It's you!"

The Mission Hall disciple recognized Meng Zhangqing, "You actually completed it!"

When Meng Zhangqing chose this mission, he had specifically tried to persuade him for a long time, so he had a deep impression.

He had thought this person would come back injured and dejected.

Who would have thought that not only was he unharmed, but he had also killed the Heavenly Copper Hand!

"It seems you are not a simple character."

The Mission Hall disciple praised, taking the token.

"Overpraised, the person was just careless."

Meng Zhangqing smiled slightly.

"That's also possible."

The Mission Hall disciple's heart stirred slightly.

That would explain it.

After all, the Heavenly Copper Hand was a top-tier mission in the hall, a powerhouse at the seventh level of the Qi-Opening realm; how could a fourth-level Qi-Opening realm cultivator kill him without injury?

He must have been careless and was ambushed.

"The mission reward is three thousand contribution points."

"If you want to exchange for things, you can go to the Elixir Hall, Hidden Martial Pavilion, etc., next door."

The Mission Hall disciple gave Meng Zhangqing three special blue iron plates.

One plate represented one thousand contribution points.

"Wait, I have something else."

Meng Zhangqing touched his storage ring.

A white cloth-wrapped object suddenly appeared in his hand.

Dripping with blood.

Placing it on the counter, he removed the white cloth, revealing Beiqianke's unwilling face.

The Mission Hall disciple was so scared that he hurriedly retreated several steps.

Including the disciples around who were waiting to accept or turn in missions.

After all, a human head suddenly popped out.

Anyone would be scared.

"Ghost Finger Beiqianke's head, what is the price?"

The plain voice fell, and the somewhat noisy Mission Hall suddenly fell into silence.
