Chapter 279 Huge Debt

Xiao Zhen controlled the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and swallowed up a purple fourth-level beast fire in one go.

Xiao Zhen suddenly trembled all over. It turned out that he had absorbed a large amount of flames. The energy in his body began to break through and reached the three-star Dou Huang level.

Looking at the remaining flames, Xiao Zhen revealed a faint smile. He did not take other elixirs to help improve his cultivation because there was no need. With his current physique, before reaching the level of Dou Zun, as long as he had enough energy, he could break through.

After swallowing so much flames today, Xiao Zhen didn’t know what level of cultivation he could reach.

There is still most of the flame left in the room, and because Xiao Zhen started absorbing from a low level, those sixth-level beast fires will be the next feast.

After watching the fire-swallowing feast, Fa Ma felt that his three views were shattered. His disciples' cultivation level increased by several stars just by swallowing these flames. In the blink of an eye, they reached the same level as him, a five-star Dou Huang!

"Senior, is the technique you gave me so powerful? This kid didn't even hit a bottleneck and broke through by swallowing the flames!"

Fa Ma looked at Yao Chen beside him and spoke with emotion.

Yao Chen shook his head. He had also been startled by Xiao Zhen's rapidly rising cultivation level. However, after using his soul power to investigate further, he finally found some clues.

Xiao Zhen's body seemed to have been baptized by something. His vitality was surging. There was also a hidden medicinal power in his body that constantly helped him to break through his cultivation level. This also led to the fact that he almost encountered no bottlenecks!

Yao Chen wondered in his heart, could this kid have eaten an eighth-grade or even ninth-grade elixir? Judging from the strange medicinal power, it was definitely not something that an ordinary elixir could possess.

Yao Chen certainly didn't know that poor Antarctic Immortal, at such an old age, had spent countless years of hard work to create such a Seven-Star Pill, but in the end, before it could even get warm, it went into Xiao Zhen's stomach.

After swallowing the last sixth-level beast fire, Xiao Zhen's cultivation had reached the seven-star Dou Huang. This was when he was suppressing it intentionally, otherwise it would not be impossible for him to directly reach the nine-star Dou Huang!

Fa Ma looked at the spacious room. There were only a dozen or so third-order flames left, standing there alone.

"Our guild has accumulated thousands of flames over the years! I didn't expect that almost all of them would be consumed today!"

Xiao Zhen also felt a little embarrassed. After all, there were originally a lot of flames here, and except for the dozen or so that he really didn't like, he swallowed up all the others.

Yao Chen smiled comfortingly and said, "It's just a little flame. These are consumables anyway. Why worry so much?"

Xiao Zhen rolled his eyes at Yao Chen. Beast fire cannot be obtained by just finding any magical beast.

In order to obtain beast fire, one basically needs a third-level magical beast. Of course, some second-level magical beasts with special talents may also be able to produce fire in their bodies.

These beast fires are all transformed from the origin of the monsters, and the origin is very important to the monsters. If you want the monsters to obediently give up their origin, it is better to kill it directly and take it out by force.

Xiao Zhen smiled awkwardly and said, "Teacher, why don't you just put it on my account this time? When I refine more pills later, I'll use it as compensation for the guild!"

Fa Ma nodded and began to calculate the losses.

“The price of a third-level beast fire is about 8 gold coins.

The price of a fourth-level beast fire is about 30 gold coins.

The price of a fifth-level beast fire is about 75 gold coins.

The price of a sixth-level beast fire is about 150 million gold coins.

If you add it all up, not counting the small changes, you owe the guild about 5000 million gold coins!"

"This... is really a huge sum of money!"

Xiao Zhen was also secretly surprised, but fortunately he was mentally prepared.

This huge sum of money is enough to overwhelm any family in the imperial capital. Even the wealthy Mittel family would probably kneel on the ground and cry poor.

Yao Chen comforted him, “Xiao boy, don’t be too nervous, 5000 million is just a small number.

You should know that you are now a sixth-grade alchemist. Even if you take into account the cost of materials, you only need to refine 20 to 30 sixth-grade pills to almost pay off this debt!"

"Twenty or thirty pills, do you think they are just cabbages grown in the field? With my current level, even if I don't eat or drink for the whole day, even if the success rate is 100%, I may not be able to make ten pills in one day!"

Yao Chen waved his hands, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Then work for a few more days. You are idle anyway, and you spend the whole day communicating with your women. It's time to work hard!"

Xiao Zhen cursed inwardly a few words. Yao Chen was also an old and disrespectful guy. Fortunately, he would send this old guy away before exercising every night, otherwise he would have to watch a big show.

Fa Ma did not continue to think about the huge loss, but smiled and said:

"Young people should pay more attention to their health and be more restrained. Even if you have a high level of cultivation, you can't do this recklessly, otherwise your body will collapse!"

Xiao Zhen curled his lips. How come his teacher got involved? And he was such a frivolous old man. If he listened to these things every day, wouldn't he become frivolous as well?

Xiao Zhen did not say what was in his mind, otherwise the two old guys would definitely sigh and wonder how young people could be so shameless.

Yao Chen looked at the sky outside, shook his head and said, "It's getting late, Xiao boy, we should go back!"

Xiao Zhen nodded, and finally did not forget to bow to his mentor.

"Teacher, give me ten days. By then, I will definitely use the elixir to make up for the guild's losses."

Fa Ma waved his old hand and smiled gently, "No hurry, no hurry, there is still plenty of time, it doesn't matter if you come in a month!"

Then Fa Ma turned his gaze to Yao Chen and asked nervously, "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to listen to your guidance again."

Yao Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course there is no problem. When you are free in a few days, we can meet again!"

The reason why Yao Chen gave Fa Ma so much face was, firstly, because the other party respected him so much, and secondly, he was now a soul body and needed a lot of medicinal herbs to restore his soul.

As the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma must have a way to get a large amount of such medicinal materials.

Xiao Zhen had already given Yao Chen a lot of soul-related medicinal herbs, but he always felt that it was not enough. Although these were enough for him to recover to the peak of his soul, when fighting, others consumed their fighting spirit, but he consumed his soul.

When Fa Ma heard that the old senior Yao Chen was willing to teach him, a smile immediately appeared on his face. His alchemy skills had been stagnant for a long time. If he could get guidance from this senior, he might be able to reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist in a short period of time.

After Xiao Zhen left the Alchemist Guild, Yao Chen began to use soul transmission to ask some questions.

"After absorbing so much flames, how has the Burning Technique changed?"

Xiao Zhen: "The Burning Technique has already reached the advanced level of the Profound Stage, but the next Earth Stage is a real big threshold. It would be difficult to break through if I just rely on these Fire Stages."

Yao Chen also agreed and said, "Indeed, it seems that you should prepare to go to the Black Horn Region next."

Xiao Zhen also chuckled and said, "That's perfect. I've heard that place is very chaotic. Now is a good time to go and see it for myself!"

Yao Chen reminded: "You'd better be careful, otherwise you might capsize in the ditch!"
