Chapter 132 "Collecting Dan Fire"

Qin Mian continued to capture the flames while descending, and before reaching 50 meters, he had captured five groups of lower-grade and two groups of intermediate-grade artifact-level flames. However, problems followed suit.
In order to remove the magma, a large amount of yuan force is needed. By this point, more than 40% of his yuan force has been consumed. Initially, he speculated that by collecting a portion of the artifact-level flames, the temperature of the magma would decrease slightly. However, upon reaching this point, he discovered that the effect was not significant.
By practicing the "Heavenly Primordial Technique," he absorbed a large amount of fire elemental energy and opened up another acupoint, reaching a total of 126. However, his heat resistance did not increase much.
Returning to the ground, he walked back and forth along the crack for tens of meters, finally making up his mind: to collect the elixir fire of the artifact level within a range of 50 meters front and back.
After absorbing three high-grade elemental stones, he started implementing the new action plan...
塞离跑回英豪帮总部，向帮主普元汇报了捅出的篓子情况，汇报完后一脸紧张地看着对方。
Pu Yuan's face turned fierce for a moment, then he seemed conflicted for a while, and finally stared at Sai Li with a menacing gaze: "Before you did this, didn't you find out that his master is in the fused state?".
Sai Li cried and said with a sad face, "Time is tight, the task is heavy, and I didn't investigate all of this. Generally speaking, there are no masters until one reaches the Transcendent Realm. Who would have thought that he is actually a named disciple in the Unity Realm and was accepted when he was only in the Innate Realm."
Pu Yuan stared at him intently, with an expression that seemed like he wanted to devour him.
After a while, he shifted his gaze and asked casually, "Do you think those two nascent soul talismans he had were real?"
Sai Li answered cautiously, "There is a faint sense of pressure, but it's difficult to prove. However, given his strength, he doesn't really need to use any auxiliary methods to deal with an early Infant Transformation stage opponent."
When one has not experienced it, one does not know what despair is. He experienced this legendary despair firsthand.
After a while, he saw Puyuan remaining silent, so he cautiously said, "Master, we only have three days and our inventory has only one orb of high-grade pill fire. Should we go look for it, buy it, or ask the Qinglong Sect for it?"
Puyuan gave him a sideways glance: "Go to Qinglong Sect and ask for it, do you dare? Things that are taken in, can they still be taken out? Bring people with you to find it, bring people with you to buy it. In short, get rid of this menace."
塞离眼珠一转：“要不，我们联系一下暗花楼或者别的杀手组织，在方便的时候将他杀了。”
普元冷哼：“杀了就不用赔偿他丹火了吗？杀了他就能把赔偿的丹火拿回来吗？如果做不到，为何还要花那样的元石？”
Turned to look at him directly: "You said the eighth-level transmortal who was shot by him was an assassin?"
Saili nodded vigorously: "Our people took off the storage ring from that person. Besides a sword, 1000 high-quality elemental stones, and a bottle of medicinal pills, there was nothing else, it's completely standard equipment for an assassin."
Pu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go and do it quickly. We can't offend these juniors. It's better to suffer a loss than to be in trouble. In the future, we should be more cautious and not offend everyone."
After waiting for Sai to leave, he leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself, "Assassin, should I kill this Qin Mian, or someone else, or just pass by?"
"Why would someone come in here to kill Qin Mian? Don't they know that the space inside is small and could easily fall into a formation? And if they are killing someone else, who would it be? Is it someone from my Hero Help? As for passing by, that's impossible. Nobody would consider this place a normal passage."
"It seems that either they came to kill Qin Mian, or they came to kill someone in the Hero's Help..."
The news of Bronze Conceal 27 being shot quickly spread to the courtyard, where Junior Administrator Fox Yi stood with a hunched posture next to Intermediate Administrator.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.)
Shi Hudin looked serious and said, "It's understandable to say that Qin Mian wanted to assassinate a cultivator from the Heroic Sect from a distance. But I always feel that something is fishy about this."
虎丁的脸色也不轻松：“确实很蹊跷。不过要说他能看清隐铜27也不大可能，他没透露出任何特异眼的迹象；要说掌握空间法则，那是更加不可能，现在只是一个先天境而已。”
Fox Yi sighed, "We've suffered heavy losses in this business. We have already lost a team of Ming irons, a shadow iron, and now another hidden copper."
Tiger Ding waved his hand, "There's no need to dwell on that. It hasn't been easy for anyone. What we need to focus on now is how to complete the task and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future."
Hu Yi said with a frown, "Whether it's luck or a real problem, he has already demonstrated the combat power of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I think Hidden Bronze is no longer sufficient to complete the mission. The next level needed for the assignment is either Hidden Silver or Bright Silver. However, only the headquarters can mobilize such ranks, so I kindly request Hu Lao to personally arrange it."
Tuding instantly showed a look of confusion.
Hidden Silver, usually at the Early Nascent Soul stage, and there are very few with exceptional talents at the peak of the 9th level of the Mortal Transcendence stage. Bright Silver, on the other hand, are all at the Mid Nascent Soul stage, and there are even some with slightly lower levels at the Late Nascent Soul stage. With such levels, they should be able to deal with cultivators at the Mid Nascent Soul stage and above.
Do we really need to send someone of such level for a late innate stage Qin Mian?
But he has already defeated a 2nd-layer Yuanying stage cultivator. Regardless of whether it was him who killed Yin Tie and Yin Tong, they both died during their mission against him.
No matter what the situation, it is indeed necessary to send someone of this level.
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about this anymore, I'll report to headquarters."
However, he was thinking in his mind, how should I report it?
It is already hard to accept that someone in the late stage of Innate Realm can defeat someone in the 2nd stage of Nascent Soul Realm, and now both Ming Tie, Yin Tie, and Yin Tong have died because of him. How can we explain the correlation among them clearly?
Forget it, let the facts be stated, and the decision should still be made by headquarters.
Although the deaths of Yin Tie and Yin Tong seem to have little to do with him, they actually died during the mission. I hope headquarters don't underestimate it, and the next task executor needs to be very careful... very, very careful.
Qin Mian went up and down several times in the crack, finally descending to a depth of one hundred meters. The 127th acupoint also opened, leaving only one left to achieve the transcendent realm.
However, he knew that opening this acupoint was not easy. The next focus was on the unity of essence, energy, and spirit.
However, he felt that the time was not ripe for integrating his qi and spirit, so he had not considered these things for now. He just wanted to collect the spirit-level pill fire and the dao crystals below, and also take out the eleven storage rings below.
When flying back to the ground to regain the Force, he saw three Transcendent Realm experts on one side looking at him.
Seeing that he only glanced at them, one of the experts at the 7th level of the Transcendent Realm smiled and asked, "Young friend, did you gain anything?"
Qin Mian responded lightly, "The fire of pill at the level of magical artifacts."
Another person at the 7th stage showed disdain, "For someone at the Precelestial Realm, being able to obtain magical artifacts at this level is already pretty good."
Qin Mian ignored them and started to restore his energy using two top-grade elemental stones.
Can't believe that as soon as the amazing item appeared, three people immediately showed envy in their eyes.
A cultivator in the congenital realm who can restore their energy using amazing primordial stones must either be an outstanding member of a sect or the son of a prominent family, and it is likely that they possess a lot of wealth. If we can obtain their storage ring, the rewards should be significant.
In such a remote place, who would even notice if someone was killed or robbed?
The three of them pounced like hungry wolves.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.)
。
Just then, Qin Mian opened his eyes and coldly looked at them, saying, "Don't have thoughts you shouldn't have, or else you will die here. If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around, of course, you can also try it."
After speaking, he closed his eyes without caring and continued to absorb the top-grade elemental stones.
The three of them became uneasy when they saw his appearance.
This posture clearly showed that he didn't care about them at all.
Is it a bluff or a genuine ability to not take it seriously?
After a brief exchange of messages, two of them took out communication jade cards and transmitted messages outside, and soon received a reply.
"The entire He Xi Zong ruins are now talking about one thing. The Heroic Alliance fell into the hands of a Pre-Celestial Realm expert named Qin Mian today. There have been quite a few casualties among the Pre-Celestial Realm and Transcendent Realm experts, and the Deputy Chief of the Heroic Alliance, Sai Li, was also defeated. The Heroic Alliance even voluntarily proposed compensation to avoid further losses."
"This one is also at the Precelestial Realm. Could he be Qin mian? Let's ask, ask carefully."
"It should be this Precelestial Realm. They are all very young, similar in height, and equally handsome. That person also has two Precelestial Realm companions, one at the Postcelestial Realm and one at the Revered Heaven Realm. When we came over, those four were constantly watching us, so it should be them."
"Yes. The temperature here is too high. Only powerful practitioners of the Innate Realm can withstand it... It seems that he was right."
"Let's go. We only have three at the 7th stage of the Mortal Realm, not the 7th stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."
"I really want to give it a try and see if he is the one, Qin Mian."
"If you want to try, try it after we leave."
“……”
Seeing the three people quietly leave, the corners of Qin Mian's mouth slightly curl up.
Such monks are more willing to listen to advice and not easily lose their lives, which is good.
As the high-grade Fu Qi Dan Huo in this paragraph was collected, the temperature of the magma began to gradually decrease, and Qin Mian, who had been absorbing the energy inside the magma, went deeper and deeper into the magma...
After one day, he collected all the low-grade spiritual fires, and the temperature of the magma slightly decreased; after three days, he took away the medium-grade spiritual fires, and the temperature of the magma dropped again; on the sixth day, he finally took in the high-grade spiritual fire and also collected nine pieces of fire pathway crystals and eleven storage rings.
He didn't leave immediately, nor did he clean up his storage ring. Instead, he took out a top-grade spiritual weapon-level Danhuo and merged it with the original Danhuo.
The fusion of the two Danhuo was quick, and the final color was still ethereal blue. The temperature didn't increase much compared to this top-grade spiritual weapon-level Danhuo, indicating that the original Danhuo didn't contribute much energy.
Actually, he could completely abandon the original Dan fire and just use this one, but that Dan fire has been with him since he was thirteen years old and he has developed an emotional attachment to it. He is unwilling to abandon it and wants this Dan fire to accompany him on his journey of growth.
After incorporating the Dan Fire into his body, he was once again amazed to find that his body underwent another significant transformation. His meridians became stronger, his dantian expanded, and he could continuously absorb energy. The body was still gradually being remodeled…
Looking at this result, he remembered the helplessness of his sister Qinzhi at that time. She used to think that she could advance to the mortal realm at any time, but now she doesn't feel that way anymore.
Using the system to measure it, his excited heart cooled down again.
The energy of the fire element in the Five Elements is still insufficient!
He glanced at the Dan Fire in the storage ring and thought about integrating all of them, but after calculating, he could only reluctantly give up this idea.
Even if all is melted, the energy is still not enough.
It seems that I need to leave Canxing as soon as possible and search for higher quality elixirs in the outside world.
