Chapter 493: Chapter 485: There’s Always Soone Stronger_1

Both the Ice Lotus and the Fire Lotus are extrely rare and special herbs found between heaven and earth.

Master Mo Yang’s Plants Illustrated Handbook records it very clearly, the Fire Lotus only grows in environnts where geothermal heat is incredibly intense. Basically, it’s only possible for a Fire Lotus to appear at the mouth of a volcano or in the underground where high-temperature magma still exists.

The Ice Lotus is even rarer.

Many people think that the Ice Lotus must grow on the perpetually snow-covered peaks of high mountains or in other ice- and snow-bound lands. In fact, Master Mo Yang recorded two Ice Lotuses, one of which was found in an underground dark river and the other at the bottom of a well known as Lock Dragon Well.

If one seeks the Ice Lotus in the snow atop mountains or in the lands of extre cold, it will be like trying to draw blood from a stone.

Qin Niu had managed to collect both the Ice Lotus and the Fire Lotus, which was in itself a great opportunity and a huge stroke of fortune.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to use these two special herbs.

After obtaining the Ice Lotus, aside from letting the War Bees harvest its pollen for honey-making, he did not explore the other abilities of the Ice Lotus. The Fire Lotus was even more negligently handled; he simply threw it in an underground cave in the mountains, leaving it under the care of the Fire Phoenix.

Now, having unexpectedly discovered that the dicine King Sutra could incorporate the Ice Lotus, he firmly grasped this chance and was intensely exploring the changes brought about by refining the Ice Lotus.

The fire poison in his left arm could no longer pose any threat to him.

He was now confident that even if more fire poison invaded his body, he would be able to suppress and then completely purify it, using the chill of the Ice Lotus.

However, this fire poison was indeed extrely domineering and difficult to cleanse.

The Ice Lotus spun continuously in the alchemy stove, which he had assud would completely refine and dissipate it. But that didn’t happen; the alchemy stove was just constantly drawing energy from the Ice Lotus.

It felt as if the entire Ice Lotus had rged with the alchemy stove.

At this mont, the Ice Lotus existed in a very special state.

Should he also refine the Fire Lotus, he believed there would be even greater gains.

Not to drag his feet, he went directly from the backyard to the mountain, speeding towards the location of the cave.

In order to save ti, not long after entering the mountain behind his house, he summoned the Fire Phoenix.

“Carry to the cave!”

Qin Niu said to the Fire Phoenix and directly leaped onto its back.

“Hold on tight!”

Although the Fire Phoenix had ford an equal contract with Qin Niu, it was still his pet. Plus, it was only with Qin Niu’s wholehearted assistance that it had been able to undergo Nirvana and beco a phoenix; out of gratitude to Qin Niu, it was quite loyal to him.

It spread its wings and soared into the sky, then carried Qin Niu at an extrely fast speed over the mountains and forests, arriving at the cave in the blink of an eye.

One could still see the traces where the lava had spewed forth.

They had solidified and turned into new rocks.

All the vegetation in the area had been burnt to death.

“Master, why is there a cold and icy aura in your body? There seems to be a very strange fiery aura as well.”

The Fire Phoenix cocked its head and examined Qin Niu with curiosity.

“Feel the fire poison in my left arm.”

Qin Niu stopped using the Ice Lotus’s chill to suppress the fire poison, and it imdiately began to grow stronger within his body.

This fire poison was extrely sinister.

“This is the Samadhi True Fire! Has master been injured by a powerful human?”

The Fire Phoenix asked in surprise.

“One of my friends was injured by an enemy who used a technique called Raging Fla Palm, imbuing fire poison into my friend’s body. When I tried to examine the injury, my wood-based cultivation technique reacted with the fire, drawing the poison into my own body.

Fortunately, I used my Ice Lotus to suppress the fire poison.

However, this fire poison is extraordinarily sinister. As soon as I remove the Ice Lotus’s cold suppression, it flares back to life and rages within my body once more.”

Qin Niu knew that the Fire Phoenix was the ancestral master of playing with fire.

Its ability to easily identify the fla as Taiyin fla suggested that it probably knew the origin of this fla.

“Taiyin fla is cold and domineering, igniting upon contact with blood. Its kind is not easily extinguished. If the master’s cultivated technique is of the wood attribute, it might cause the fla to burn even faster. It’s a pity that I have cultivated Taiyang fla, which is the exact opposite. My fla is just as domineering, capable of burning everything in the world and suppressing all sorts of Yin and evil things, but it’s practically powerless against Taiyin fla.”

There are specialties in every craft.

After listening to the Fire Phoenix’s explanation, Qin Niu ca to understand that there were actually two types of flas.

“Is there a way to eradicate this Taiyin fla?”

“Naturally, there is a way. Though I cannot deal with Taiyin fla, it cannot harm . And my Taiyang fla can injure those who cultivate it. The strand of Taiyin fla within the master’s body is of a lower level and its power is much weaker than the true Taiyin fla.

Using the Fire Lotus, the master can easily extract the fire poison from within.”

The Fire Phoenix offered him a solution.

He had originally co to the mountain to refine the Fire Lotus, and this conviction now grew even stronger.

He had not expected that a Fire Lotus could be used to remove fire poison.

According to Qin Niu’s understanding, a Fire Lotus being of fire, he had not anticipated using it to counteract fire poison. Instead, he intended to use it to balance the Ice Lotus’s cold energy.”

“So flas have strengths and weaknesses too?”

When Qin Niu asked this, he felt that he hadn’t thought it through.

The flas that the Fire Phoenix used to emit were ordinary, but now it could spit True Fire, which was much more powerful than before.

There must be different levels of flas.

“Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning are the four most special powers in nature. There are many types of fires, including the Nether Fla that burns souls and the Taiyang fla that can burn all things, the cold and domineering Taiyin fla, and the mysterious Black Fla that devours everything…

The strength of a fla should never be asured simply by its temperature alone.

For example, the True Fire I can now unleash is much hotter than ordinary flas, but it still ranks very low among Taiyang flas.

According to the Fire Phoenix inheritance I’ve received, the Samadhi True Fire of your human cultivators is very strong.

Even more powerful is the True Fire of the Golden Crow.

If our Phoenix clan cultivates to the utmost level and obtains various opportunities, there is a chance to cultivate the Five-colored Divine Fla, also known as Five-colored True Fire or Five-Fold Samadhi Fla. This fla ranks just below the True Fire of the Golden Crow.

As for the Taiyin fla, if cultivated to the utmost, it can beco Taiyin Extre Fla. It is said to be eternally inextinguishable, and its main feature is that it only burns intangible things like blood, True Qi, poisonous miasma, and so on.”

The Fire Phoenix imparted to Qin Niu so profound knowledge about flas.

He had thought the Phoenix clan was the strongest at fire control in the world. But according to the Fire Phoenix, they were not as proficient as the Golden Crow clan.

“Is the strongest fla in the world the True Fire of the Golden Crow controlled by the Golden Crow clan?”

“Of course not. There is no such thing as the strongest fla. Rumor has it that the Chaos Fla is even more formidable than the True Fire of the Golden Crow. In the future, once the master becos stronger, you will certainly encounter many powerful flas.”

The Fire Phoenix seed particularly eager when ntioning the Chaos Fla.

From its intent, it seed that once Qin Niu’s strength grew in the future, it wished for him to take it to see the wonderful world outside.

It dared not show itself in front of human powerhouses now, fearing it might be hunted.”
