Chapter 2011 - 2000: Dazzling Flames
These fire sources might be from the Life Palace, heavens, or lightning.
For these sources other than natural fire, alchemists have given them a unified name—Heavenly Fire.
Heavenly Fire, also known as Divine Fire, possesses a quality that is more naturally fiery.
If an alchemist has natural fire himself, his alchemy accomplishments will definitely surpass those of similarly ranked alchemists.
"No wonder Elder Mu Xu became the first alchemist of the Golden Core Hospital. He truly possesses Heavenly Fire."
Surprised, Nangong Shouhong suddenly awakened.
However, when he returned before the Emperor, his heart was suddenly filled with a thread of unease.
Mu Xu having Heavenly Fire gives a significant advantage.
Coupled with his hundreds of years of experience immersed in Dan Dong, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t possibly defeat him.
Thinking of this, Nangong Shouhong couldn’t help but glance at Elder Peng. Suddenly, a piercing coldness appeared in his eyes.
Seeing Nangong Shouhong’s sudden change in expression, Elder Peng couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.
Perhaps no one in the Golden Core Hospital knows that the Violet Flower Mu Xu possesses Heavenly Fire.
But as a half-disciple, he has long been aware of it.
Precisely because of this, today he will invite Violet Flower Mu Xu for battle.
At that time, even if the two alchemy masters in front fail, Violet Flower Mu Xu will ultimately control the situation.
"Oh, it seems Young Master Ao also has such a flame!"
Seeing Violet Flower Mu Xu release Heavenly Fire, Nangong Mengyu abruptly floated to the surface.
But she knew that when Ao Cangsheng and Li Haobi tried alchemy, they also released such flames.
Just surprised, Nangong Mengyu didn’t tell Nangong Shouhong.
"Child, let’s go!"
Holding Heavenly Fire, Violet Flower Mu Xu smiled.
"Very good!"
Ao Cangsheng nodded.
Then, he saw his right hand slightly tremble, and a jet of black flame instantly jumped onto his index finger.
Originally, many people were staring at Mu Xu.
But when Ao Cangsheng kindled his flame, everyone in the hall glanced at him.
"Heavenly Fire?"
At this moment, in many people’s hearts, they couldn’t help but lament.
Because no one expected Ao Cangsheng to possess Heavenly Fire.
"How can he have fire?"
Seeing the strange black flame, Elder Peng and Nangong Shouhong simultaneously felt stunned.
Only, this time, one person is shocked, the other surprised.
However, no one noticed. At this moment, Mu Xu from the fourth suddenly grew bigger.
"Holy Fire?"
Unlike others, when Violet Flower Mu Xu saw the black flame, the first two words floated to mind.
"Child, you are flame, but the Emperor extinguished Karma Fire?"
After a moment of astonishment, Violet Flower Mu Xu’s voice began to tremble.
Ao Cangsheng nodded: "Big brother, you must see the flame. It was the Emperor who extinguished the fire."
"Wow——"
Hearing this, the elders’ expressions changed again.
"Emperor’s Annihilation Karma Fire? It seems not natural fire, but Holy Fire, right?"
This time, all the elders couldn’t help but exclaim.
Besides natural fire and natural fire, there is also a relatively rare fire along Dan Dong, which is the Divine Fire.
Because Divine Fire is rare, few possess it. Therefore, no one intentionally categorizes this flame.
Until Lucerne revealed the mystery in Ao Cangsheng’s hand, the audience began to realize this.
They naturally knew what the Emperor’s Fire was.
For alchemists, even those of a lower level have heard of this rare flame.
But this Emperor extinguished the Karma Fire, the third existence on the Divine Fire List, difficult to see over the millennium.
No one expected today the power of the Third Divine Fire in the Purple English Palace.
"Excellent! I didn’t expect your son to bring a Magic Fire. It seems this competition is getting fiercer."
Then he quickly conveyed a message to Nangong Shouhong.
Hearing this, Nangong Shouhong’s face was filled with stagnation.
Because he had never thought about it before.
Until this moment, Nangong Menghuan asked, Nangong Shouhong suddenly remembered the arbiter of this competition was Elder Mu Xu.
This competition is precisely between Mu Xu and Ao Cangsheng.
If Violet Flower Mu Xu cheated, no one in the audience could refute him.
Just like that, Nangong Shouhong’s heart was determined; it started to waver for a while.
"Let’s wait and see, I think Mr. Mu Xu, you shouldn’t do this."
Nangong Shouhong forced a smile to reassure his daughter.
"Shh——"
While they spoke, suddenly a sound broke through the air in the hall.
Instantly, everyone saw two black pills quietly appearing in the empty space.
"Please take a look!"
After taking the pill, Ao Cangsheng respectfully handed it to Violet Flower Mu Xu.
"Child, you should know this is a competition between us. Aren’t you afraid I’ll cheat intentionally?"
Violet Flower Mu Xu chuckled, gazing at Ao Cangsheng’s path.
Once these words appeared, not only the elders’ expression continuously changed, Nangong Shouhong also displayed a puzzled look.
He didn’t expect Violet Flower Mu Xu to break the window paper himself.
"I believe you won’t do such a thing."
Ao Cangsheng smiled lightly, once confident.
"What’s wrong with the upper level? Can’t the upper level do dirty deeds?"
Violet Flower Mu Xu stared at Ao Cangsheng, strangely said.
This time, Ao Cangsheng just smiled, without speaking.
"If you really want to cheat, what can you do?"
Seeing Ao Cangsheng laugh without speaking, Violet Flower Mu Xu chuckled and asked again.
"That generation of young people can only admit defeat!"
Ao Cangsheng reluctantly smiled and said.
"Hum, what a plant! You brat, this is exactly to my taste!"
Violet Flower Mu Xu laughed, no longer continuing to tease Cangsheng.
Seeing Violet Flower Mu Xu’s action, Nangong Shouhong let out a breath.
After teasing Ao Cangsheng, Violet Flower Mu Xu reached to take the pill.
When Violet Flower Mu Xu was ready to test the medicine, all in the hall opened their eyes to observe Violet Flower Mu Xu.
After a long while, Violet Flower Mu Xu raised his head in praise, "The Yangtze River’s waves push forward; the floating world’s new replaces the old, I am not as good as you!"
Hearing this, many elders in the hall couldn’t help but change color.
Especially Elder Peng’s face grew even darker.
He didn’t expect Violet Flower Mu Xu to finally say such a thing.
None here are stupid. They naturally understand Mu Xu’s meaning.
As an elder, even if Violet Flower Mu Xu lost, he couldn’t directly say his alchemy is inferior to Ao Cangsheng.
He could only use this somewhat cryptic phrase to comment on the outcome of the competition.
On the left side of the hall, Nangong Shouhong’s father-daughter duo heard this and gasped in surprise.
It seems their persistence wasn’t wrong, and Ao Cangsheng didn’t disappoint their expectations.
Before this, they both let out a relieved breath.
"Child, your talent in alchemy is truly excellent. Are you interested in finding a master?"
After observing Ao Cangsheng’s pill, Violet Flower Mu Xu suddenly smiled and said.
Hearing this, Nangong Menghuan’s eyes revealed a hint of excitement at the moment.
Naturally, she understood the meaning behind Violet Flower Mu Xu’s words, clearly intending to accept Ao Cangsheng as an apprentice.
You know, Violet Flower Mu Xu is the first in the Golden Core Hospital and half a master of Elder Peng.
An alchemy master like him, many people wish to worship him, but none have received Mu Xu’s treatment.
However, at this moment, Violet Flower Mu Xu himself opened his mouth, planning to take Ao Cangsheng as an apprentice. This is just the luck of falling pie from the sky.
"Mr. Ao, promise him! Promise him!"
As Violet Flower Mu Xu’s voice fell, Nangong Mengyu hastily told Ao Cangsheng, reminding him not to miss this opportunity.
"I am fine, sir. I understand. It’s just that younger generations are accustomed to freedom and autonomy. Some don’t wish to be bound by others, so I’m not planning to worship anyone."
Ao Cangsheng chuckled lightly, neither low nor high.
