Each pomegranate seed is an explosive talisman, and when unleashed, it can rival the full-strength strike of an ordinary Jin Dan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if used this way, it is undoubtedly a waste of heaven's treasures!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pomegranate seeds can be used as fire cores, combined with other corresponding fuels, to preserve special fire seeds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the first time I've seen such a large pomegranate.

After checking it, he took out a talisman, stuck it on the surface of the pomegranate, and then stuffed the pomegranate into his storage belt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Nongying couldn't help but feel lucky: \"I didn't expect this ape king to have such a trump card. Now it seems that our accidental intrusion into the cave avoided a life-and-death battle with the Fire-Melting Demon Ape King, and we were still very lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Jin Dan cultivators from the Zheng family stared at the pomegranate, their gazes lingering, as if glued to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them transmitted their voices privately: \"These pomegranate seeds can be used to refine weapons in many places.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, I've already thought of at least thirty types. Its effect must be very good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Fire-Melting Demon Ape King sent out the pomegranate, it turned back and called out a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Jin Dan subordinates immediately turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a dozen breaths, they returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading Fire-Melting Demon Ape was holding a giant flame high with both arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flame was the size of a carriage, generally deep red, but a touch of pitch black flashed in the flame from time to time. And at the tip of the flame, a black thick smoke was often emitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth Fiend Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a large flame, this is a Nascent Soul level resource!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth Fiend Fire not only has terrifying firepower, constantly emitting high temperatures, but also possesses the intense toxicity of fire fiends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Used for alchemy, the limitations are very large, at most used to refine things like Fire Poison Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it can be used to refine weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flame alone, in some aspects of weapon refining, surpassed the Heaven-grade weapon refining room mastered by the Zheng family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Jin Dan cultivators from the Zheng family stared straight at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flame was extremely tempting to them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire-Melting Demon Apes do not practice cultivation arts, relying on the natural growth of their physical bodies, as well as constant tempering in nature during the growth process, to reach the Jin Dan level of combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have no magic spells to isolate the high temperature of the Earth Fiend Fire, and can only resist it through special body structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jin Dan level demon ape holding the Earth Fiend Fire gradually couldn't bear it, its face twisted by the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It supported it to the limit and handed the fire ball to the companion behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After its companion took over, it held it for a while, but couldn't bear it either, both hands were roasted to a burnt smell, and it could only hand the Earth Fiend Fire to the third companion behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this, the three Jin Dan level Fire-Melting Demon Apes relied on relaying to send the Earth Fiend Fire to Ning Jiufan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Ning Jiufan stuck thirteen talismans in a row, only then barely sealing the Earth Fiend Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the eager gaze of the two Jin Dan cultivators from the Zheng family, Ning Jiufan put the Earth Fiend Fire into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji couldn't help it, coughed, and transmitted his voice to Ning Jiufan: \"Brother Ning, don't forget the main purpose of our trip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when the Fire-Melting Demon Ape King wanted to continue sending treasures, Ning Jiufan took the initiative to reach out and point to the mechanical demon general in the small pile of spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire-Melting Demon Ape King tilted its head, a bit confused, but after Ning Jiufan indicated it repeatedly, it dragged the mechanical demon general out and handed it to Ning Jiufan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon apes' gifts were far from over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Ape King sent six more heavy gifts to reward Ning Jiufan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the demon apes began to drive people away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji had achieved his goal and had no motivation to stay in such a dangerous environment, so he immediately led the Jin Dan cultivators and left the demon ape nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned along the original path, arrived at the top of the volcano, and saw Meng Kui again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Meng Kui was located in the smoke at the top of the mountain, he had investigated a lot about the experiences of the people inside Fire Persimmon Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the cultivators leave, his expression was indifferent, but he felt very sorry in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this trip, the Jin Dan cultivators could be called safe despite the danger, without a single casualty, which made Meng Kui's hopes fall through quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiufan held onto the mechanical demon general and did not hand it to Zhu Xuanji immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>",2089,"2026-06-17T23:33:09.460Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9900b4b4a72a2a49d5961e5cbbbf9dca3a457c83d59d8490232cd3dff8ae245e","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-214","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-212",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
