The earth cracked open, and a dragon corpse slowly rose to the surface.
Seeing that the dragon corpse was still there, Gao Fei felt relieved; he had truly feared it might have been stolen by soone.
"This place is rarely frequented by anyone, making it perfect for dissecting the dragon corpse," Gao Fei decided. He would dissect the dragon corpse right here in this desolate mountain, and not leave until the dissection was finished.
After dragging the dragon corpse to a flat area and settling it in place, Gao Fei extended his left hand, palm facing up, and softly commanded, "Co forth!"
"Sss!"
A spark suddenly burst forth from the palm of Gao Fei's hand, and at the mont of its appearance, it seed as though the sky brightened a bit.
"This is..." The ntal power of the old man from the Bronze Coffin transmitted from within the storage ring, "This spark looks very much like Li Fire... no, wait, it is Li Fire! Of course, it is Li Fire indeed!"
Gao Fei smiled faintly and answered with his ntal power, "Senior has great eyesight, recognizing Li Fire at a glance."
"Where did you get it from?" the old man from the Bronze Coffin asked excitedly, "As far as I know, Li Fire has been extinct for a long ti, hasn't it?"
"I also ca across Li Fire by a lucky coincidence," Gao Fei explained briefly the process of how he obtained Li Fire: "Looking back now, I really was lucky to have obtained the legendary Li Fire."
"Your luck is truly enviable! Li Fire is an extraordinary fla of heaven and earth, ranking just below Samadhi True Fire. With Li Fire in your possession, you can walk sideways in the Mortal World without fear of anyone hurting you."
"Not to hide it from Senior, I still haven't refined Li Fire; it simply doesn't obey my commands now."
"Then what are you waiting for? Why aren't you hurrying to refine it? If I had gotten my hands on such a treasure, I would have refined it already and certainly not have delayed until now."
"I want to refine it too, but I simply haven't been able to find the ti," Gao Fei responded with a wry smile.
"I've been worried about not knowing which thod to use to break open the dragon corpse's body, but now it's great, with Li Fire, I can break it open," said the old man from the Bronze Coffin: "Even if the dragon corpse is incredibly tough, it won't withstand the burning of Li Fire. Li Fire is known as the number one fire in the Mortal World, and even in the Immortal Realm, Li Fire is exceptional." He paused for a mont before continuing, "When I was young, I was fortunate enough to encounter a spark of Li Fire. So many people desperately fought over it, and with my low cultivation at that ti, I could only stand aside and watch the excitent..."
"What happened in the end?" Gao Fei asked curiously: "Who ended up getting that spark of Li Fire?"
"Nobody got it."
"What happened?"
"That spark of Li Fire had awakened its own spirituality and thoughts. It intentionally revealed itself to incite a fight among everyone, and then, taking advantage of the chaos, it escaped."
"Ah? It escaped? Quite clever indeed."
"That was the only ti I ever saw Li Fire! It's an unforgettable event in my life! I had thought that I would never see Li Fire again in my lifeti, but unexpectedly, I have encountered it in your hands, which is really unimaginable," exclaid the old man from the Bronze Coffin: "Li Fire is an extraordinary treasure of heaven and earth, only those with Great Fortune can attain it."
"Senior flatters ."
"No, I'm not flattering you; you truly possess a Great Fortune. Not only did you obtain Li Fire, but you also secured the dragon corpse. Whether it be Li Fire or the dragon corpse, both are things that everyone dreams of obtaining. With so many formidable experts watching, yet it was you, a re Nascent Soul Cultivator, who walked away with them in the end. If that's not Great Fortune, then what is?"
"Senior, don't say anything more; if you do, I'll start floating away," Gao Fei pleaded.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic," said the elderly man from the bronze coffin, offering his guidance. "Refining Li Fire is not easy, but, fortunately, the Li Fire in your hands has not yet developed intelligence. With so extra effort, it can still be refined. When you refine Li Fire, you must be patient and not rush. Take it slowly and communicate with Li Fire sincerely, so it can sense your goodwill. All things in the world, including the most ordinary plants, have spirituality; if you treat them well, they will naturally reciprocate."
Gao Fei nodded vigorously. "I understand."
"Good, go ahead and refine the Li Fire, I won't disturb you," urged the elder from the bronze coffin.
Gao Fei sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and reached out with his heart to communicate with the Li Fire. At first, it did not go smoothly; the Li Fire resisted him, seemingly unwilling to be subdued by Gao Fei. He kept his patience, slowly influencing the Li Fire with his sincerity.
The sun slowly set, and the moon along with Xingxing gradually appeared... As the sun rose in an instant, darkness retreated, and the land was enveloped in brightness, the moon and the stars slowly faded...
Day and night continued to interchange, with the sun governing the day and the moon controlling the night, each with its own duty, neither interfering with the other.
Days went by in this manner. Gao Fei remained stationary on the ground, his hair and clothes gathering dust. A dazzling fla hovered before him...
After many days of refining, the Li Fire's resistance to Gao Fei lessened, and in recent days, it had clearly begun to show goodwill towards him. Judging by the situation, with a few more days of effort, he should be able to refine the Li Fire completely, and then Gao Fei would be able to control it as he wished.
Gao Fei cald his mind and stabilized his emotions, not allowing any fluctuations to occur. He was on the verge of success and could not afford any mistakes, lest he beco utterly dispirited.
Another ten days passed in a blink.
Gao Fei was covered in even more dust, and the Li Fire floating in front of him shone brighter.
"Whoosh!"
The Li Fire suddenly emitted an exceedingly dazzling light that illuminated half the sky. The light appeared quickly and vanished just as swiftly, lasting only a second! After the light faded, the Li Fire voluntarily flew above Gao Fei's head and started circling it, each circle casting a thin halo of light. These halos were distinct, one layered upon another, encircling Gao Fei completely. From a distance, Gao Fei looked like a glowing statue.
The halos radiated heat, refining Gao Fei's body, his face expressing pure enjoynt.
It was delightfully warm; he felt extrely comfortable!
The halos persisted for an full hour before gradually dissipating, with the Li Fire still hovering above Gao Fei's head.
"Phew..."
Gao Fei opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "Finally done refining. It nearly exhausted ." Having kept the sa position for nearly a month, even the resilient Gao Fei had reached his limits. He extended his hand and called out, "Li Fire, co here!"
"Swish!"
The Li Fire swiftly drifted over and settled in the palm of his hand. Before landing, it had contained its intense heat, not wanting to harm Gao Fei. Considering that the Li Fire was the foremost fire of the Mortal World, scorchingly hot, if it hadn't restrained its temperature, Gao Fei's entire hand would have certainly been ruined.
Gao Fei cradled the Li Fire in his palm, a smile playing on his lips: "Not bad! Very obedient!" After refining the Li Fire, Gao Fei felt as though he had ford a kinship with it, an indescribable sensation beyond the reach of words.
