Chapter 436: Chapter 432: Heavenly Fire Red Lotus Chapter 436: Chapter 432: Heavenly Fire Red Lotus “Shii”

A wisp of crimson flame immediately separated from the lotus petal and silently entered the rabbit's body.

The lively gray hare became stiff, then completely motionless, void of breath. Its originally vibrant fiery-red eyes became dull, as if its spirit had been sucked away in an instant.

“This flame can indeed kill the spirit! What is this flame, to have such power?” Shen Luo was surprised in his heart.

However, he didn't let his guard down and used another gray rabbit to test the capability of the crimson flame, the situation was the same as the first one.

Two consecutive tries made Shen Luo unshakeably confident about the capabilities of this lotus petal flame, recalling the wealth of knowledge about flames he had seen in his mind.

“Crimson color, lotus petal shape, capable of killing the spirit, could this flame be the rumored Red Lotus Karmic Fire among the ten heavenly fires!” He suddenly remembered a book he had read that recorded the information and pictures of Heavenly Flames. The information about the Red Lotus Karmic Fire recorded in it was very similar to the lotus petal flame in front of him.

Shen Luo looked over and over at the flame in front of him, finding them more similar the more he looked.

“It can't be wrong. This lotus petal flame, whether in appearance, color, or effect, is exactly the same as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire recorded in the classics! Moreover, it is rumored that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire is born deep in the underworld, and this flame came exactly from the underworld.” He muttered to himself, his face full of excitement.

He needed Spirit Fire to refine the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. He dared not hope for any rank, but sought everywhere without success. He didn't expect that during this mission to the underworld, he had obtained a clump of heavenly fire rumored in the books.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire has an enormous killing power towards the spirit, and ghosts are all soul bodies, making the Red Lotus Karmic Fire a natural nemesis to ghosts, ten times more powerful than the Gold Sun Spirit Fire of human quality. It's exceedingly suitable for refining the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

Now that all the conditions for refining the Pure Yang Sword Embryo have been met, Shen Luo plans to prepare a little more before starting to refine the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

He closed the stone box, put it away, then took out the Apricot-Yellow Flag and Green Short Axe, running the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique to begin refining them.

One day and one night later.

Within the small courtyard, thunderous noises sounded in mid-air, as if a series of thunderbolts had exploded!

The Green short axe was suspended in mid-air, several green thunders shot down from it, hitting a stone table and chairs in the courtyard.

The stone table and chairs immediately exploded into fragments, looking as fragile as tofu under the green thunder.

“Good!” Shen Luo took back the Green short axe into his hand, his face showing delight.

The power of the Green Thunder isn't small, much larger than the Small Thunder Talisman, but it's still a bit short compared to the Thunderfall Talisman.

However, using the Green Short Axe to generate green thunder for attack is far more convenient, as long as the mana is sufficient, it can continuously emit green thunder, unlike the Thunderfall Talisman, which also requires drawing of talismans and capturing of thunder, making it more cumbersome and difficult.

Shen Luo put away the Green Short Axe, took out the Apricot-Yellow Flag, and slightly tested it. Its power was also extraordinary.

He was still injured and did not continue to try. He put away the Apricot-Yellow Flag, turned around and went back to his room to heal his injuries.

After three more days, Shen Luo's injuries had mostly healed. During this period, Zhou Tie brought him some shocking news.

The Treasure Hall in Chang'an City was surprisingly involved with the Evil Cult Refining Body Altar. After the investigation by the Great Tang Dynasty Government, several stewards and elders were arrested, confirmed to be members of the Refining Body Altar.

The Master of the Treasure Hall was furious. He apologized to the Great Tang Dynasty Government and thoroughly investigated all members of the Treasure Hall. As a result, the whole of Chang'an City was in uproar, and other merchant associations were also terrified.

Shen Luo was shocked when he heard this news and secretly admired Cheng Yaojin's audacity.

The power of Treasure Hall is indeed formidable, they move as they wish, truly worthy of the reputation of being one of the fierce generals who fought side by side with the founding emperor of this dynasty.

However, the connection between Treasure Hall and the Refining Body Altar made Shen Luo somewhat worried. He was not sure whether Ma Xiuxiu was involved in this matter. After all, it was because of this woman's invitation that he had gone on that mission.

From the bottom of his heart, however, he still hoped that Ma Xiuxiu had nothing to do with this matter, as he still needed her connections to refine the elixir he wanted to make.

He decided to investigate carefully two days later, after his injuries had completely healed.

At this moment, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

Shen Luo raised an eyebrow and got up to open the door, and saw a white figure standing sweetly outside the door — it was Ma Xiuxiu.

“Miss Ma, why are you here?” Shen Luo was startled, although there were many questions in his heart, he first invited Ma Xiuxiu into the house.

“Master Shen, I have specially made this trip to apologize, I wanted to help you refine the elixir, but I unintentionally put you in danger, please forgive me.” Ma Xiuxiu said, giving a deep curtsy, without waiting for Shen Luo to question her.

“This matter is all because of Hu Yong. Miss Ma does not have to take the blame.” Shen Luo waved his hand dismissively.

“Be that as it may, it is because of me that you, Master Shen, got involved in danger. I feel very guilty for this. The alchemy master also feels very sorry towards you and has asked me to apologize on his behalf.” Ma Xiuxiu said sincerely.

“No harm done. I hold no grudges, and I wish for you, Miss Ma, to convey this sentiment to him.” Shen Luo said with a light smile.

“Master Shen, although you may not care, we cannot act as if nothing happened. To make up for our mistake, the alchemy master said that he would like to refine the elixir for you free of charge.” Ma Xiuxiu said.

“Is that the truth?” Shen Luo's face lit up with joy.

“I wouldn't lie to you, of course. However, the alchemist needs to discuss some details about the process of refining the elixir with you in person. When would you be available?” Ma Xiuxiu asked with a teeth-revealing smile.

“I am available now.” said Shen Luo.

Ma Xiuxiu was still freely moving about, which naturally revealed some truths. Although it could not completely dispel his doubts, it wouldn't affect the actual implementation of refining the elixir, which is a matter related to his lifespan.

In addition, he had been observing the girl's demeanor since she walked in the door, she didn't seem to be acting, which naturally dispelled most of his doubts.

“Let's go then.” Ma Xiuxiu said with a smile.

There was a carriage parked in the courtyard. The gray-robed man who drove the carriage walked up and bowed to Ma Xiuxiu and Shen Luo.

Shen Luo glanced at the man and nodded slightly. The man had also been the driver of Ma Xiuxiu's carriage during the auction.

The two of them got into the carriage and they arrived in a district in the northern part of the city an hour later.

This place was as quiet as Changping Alley, but it was not as messy. The ground was clean and tidy, there were no fallen leaves or weeds to be seen, everything was exceptionally neat. The buildings here were all tall and magnificent, they were clearly the residences of the wealthy.

“This is Yanshou Alley, next to the Imperial City. Master Dan Yangzi's residence is just ahead.” said Ma Xiuxiu.

Dan Yangzi , was the name of that alchemist.

“Master Dan Yangzi's residence truly has its own unique flavor.” Shen Luo said with a smile.
