Chapter 279: Hong Haier, Fire Spirit Body
Inside the Banana Cave, there was another world.
Niu Mowang had managed Mount Cuiyun for many years, and the cave dwelling was repaired quite grandly.
With ten-thousand-year spiritual wood as the door, a pair of bull horns cast from divine iron hung on both sides, each as tall as an adult, entirely pitch black, faintly revealing demon power, and was still a magic treasure.
Su Chen followed Niu Mowang through the front hall, the middle hall, and all the way to the inner residence.
Niu Mowang hadn't stopped talking, from the strange phenomenon on the day Hong Haier was born to the time the child smashed the cradle with one slap when he was a month old, the pride in his tone couldn't be hidden.
"Old Niu has lived for tens of thousands of years; what treasure haven't I seen? But the first time I saw this kid, I knew, this son of mine will be extraordinary in the future!"
As the two were talking, they arrived at the door of the inner residence, and a woman came out to greet them.
She was wearing a light purple long dress, her face was beautiful and dignified, and her temperament was calm. Seeing Su Chen arrive, she bowed slightly.
"Brother Su Chen."
"Sister-in-law." Su Chen cupped his hands in salute, "Years have passed, and Sister-in-law's style is still the same."
Princess Lady Tie Shan smiled faintly: "Brother Su Chen is even better than before. My Old Niu has been nagging about you for many days, fearing you wouldn't have time to come."
"Hey, you woman, when did I nag—" Niu Mowang's old face turned red, and he immediately grabbed Su Chen's arm, "Don't talk nonsense with her, go, let's see my son!"
Su Chen was pulled into the inner room by Niu Mowang.
On a tiger-skin soft couch, a white and fat kid was lying, his two small legs kicking vigorously.
His round face, his skin white with a hint of red, and a pair of dark, rolling eyes turning around curiously.
Su Chen's gaze fell on the baby's brow center.
There was a pale red pattern there, shaped like a flame, appearing and disappearing.
Ordinary people couldn't see anything, but Su Chen activated his Dharma eyes, and a completely different scene was reflected in his pupils.
Inside this baby's body, the fire element spiritual meridians in the five internal organs were naturally connected, and the meridian direction was completely different from ordinary people.
Every spiritual meridian naturally fit the trajectory of the fire element law's operation, and fire element spiritual energy was faintly flowing spontaneously in the acupoints all over his body.
This was the symbol of a natural Fire Spirit Body.
Su Chen withdrew his Dharma eyes, and his heart was clear.
No wonder Hong Haier could cultivate Samadhi True Fire in the Flaming Mountain in the original work; this child was born for fire, and this kind of constitution was extremely rare.
"How is it?" Niu Mowang put his hands on his hips, his chin raised high, with a proud expression.
"Brother Niu." Su Chen looked at him and said, "This son of yours is indeed extraordinary; he is a natural Fire Spirit Body."
Niu Mowang was stunned, then laughed: "Not bad! Brother Su Chen, let me tell you, the day this kid was born, all the fire-attribute spiritual energy within a hundred miles surged toward Mount Cuiyun,"
"Don't interrupt." Princess Lady Tie Shan walked in from behind and looked at Su Chen, "Brother Su Chen, the two of us are troubled because of this; neither of us cultivates the fire element Dao, and we don't know how to teach him in the future."
Princess Lady Tie Shan said, looking at her son who was babbling on the couch with a gentle gaze.
Niu Mowang scratched his head, laughed twice, and reached out his fan-sized hand to tease his son.
Hong Haier grabbed his index finger, with no small strength, pulling it toward his mouth.
"Speaking of this Fire Spirit Body." Su Chen opened his mouth, "I do have a treasure here that is extremely suitable for my nephew."
"Brother, why be polite, you came, what are you bringing..."
Niu Mowang's words were halfway through, and Su Chen had already taken out that special jade box from his storage space.
The jade box was not large, entirely milky white, but there was a restriction sealed on the box body.
Niu Mowang's words got stuck in his throat.
He sensed an extremely pure fire element aura emanating from the jade box.
Princess Lady Tie Shan's expression also changed slightly.
"This is..." Niu Mowang's gaze fixed.
Su Chen opened the jade box.
A fingernail-sized fire seed lay quietly in the box, six colors intertwined, radiance flowing endlessly.
Although the fire seed was small, the law power contained within it caused the temperature of the entire inner room to rise by several degrees.
Hong Haier on the couch suddenly quieted down, his eyes staring straight at that fire seed, and the flame Dao mark on his brow center lit up spontaneously.
"Six-Ding Divine Fire?!" Niu Mowang's voice suddenly rose.
"On the way to the Banana Cave, I passed by the eight-hundred-mile Flaming Mountain and curiously went in to take a look." Su Chen's tone was flat, "I discovered a furnace brick from Taishang Laojun's Eight-Trigrams Furnace in the core of the mountain belly, and the Six-Ding Divine Fire's fire spirit was bred inside the brick. I subdued the fire spirit and incidentally condensed a wisp of fire seed from it."
Su Chen said it lightly.
But Niu Mowang's expression had already changed.
That Flaming Mountain was not far from his Mount Cuiyun.
He had been there more than once; with his cultivation base, he could only go deep to the place near the core of the Flaming Mountain, and if he went further in, even he couldn't withstand that fire element law power.
Later, he let Princess Lady Tie Shan use the Banana Fan to suppress the fire, barely reaching the mountain belly, and saw the furnace brick lying in the crater, but he tried several times and failed to collect it.
And Su Chen not only went to the core of the Flaming Mountain alone but also collected that furnace brick and condensed the Six-Ding Divine Fire seed.
Niu Mowang looked at Su Chen, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He remembered that when the Demon Alliance was established, Su Chen was only a Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator, needing them, the several Great Sages, to cover him.
Now...
"Brother Su Chen." Niu Mowang took a deep breath, "This Dao practice of yours is probably already above Old Niu's."
"Brother Niu, you speak too seriously." Su Chen handed over the jade box, "To others, this fire seed is just a fire element supreme treasure, but to Hong Haier, who has a natural Fire Spirit Body, it is a foundation made in heaven. When he achieves success in cultivation in the future, using his Fire Spirit Body to ignite this fire seed, he will have the opportunity to refine this Six-Ding Divine Fire into a supernatural power and go further on the fire element Dao."
Princess Lady Tie Shan took the jade box.
"Brother Su Chen, this gift is too heavy." She looked up at Su Chen, "This..."
"Sister-in-law, just keep it." Su Chen smiled, "My nephew calls me Uncle, so it is only right and proper for an uncle to send a meeting gift."
Niu Mowang was silent for a moment and slapped Su Chen on the shoulder.
"Good brother!" Niu Mowang's voice was like a bell: "Old Niu has never misjudged a friend in his life!"
He turned his head and roared at the door: "Someone! Go and move that jar of ten-thousand-year spiritual marrow wine from the warehouse! And bring out all the best wine and dishes; today Old Niu wants to drink until we are both drunk with Brother Su Chen!"
Princess Lady Tie Shan carefully put away the jade box and said to Su Chen: "Brother Su Chen, give me the Monkey Wine you brought, and I will have someone prepare it together."
Su Chen handed the Monkey Wine he brought to Princess Lady Tie Shan, and she took it and went to arrange the banquet.
Once Princess Lady Tie Shan left, Niu Mowang pulled Su Chen to sit down and began to reminisce.
"Brother Su Chen, where have you been all these years? How did your cultivation base rise so fiercely?"
"Walked around, the opportunity was pretty good."
"Just this?"
"Just this."
Niu Mowang stared at him, muttered "Your kid's mouth is tighter than a clam shell," and stopped asking.
The wine and dishes were all served, and the two sat opposite each other drinking.
As the Monkey Wine entered his throat, Niu Mowang hummed comfortably, poured three bowls in a row, and then remembered the business.
"By the way, the other brothers will be here soon. Jiao Mowang sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying he can arrive the day after tomorrow. Shi Tuo Wang and Mihou Wang left later, estimated it will take another four or five days. Yu Rong Wang is the slowest, but he will make it in time for the first birthday banquet."
Su Chen nodded and picked up his wine bowl.
"Then let's wait for them to arrive and have a good reunion."
The two clinked bowls, and the wine splashed everywhere. ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
