BXBX NOVEL Chapter 933 - Violet Qilin’s Fire
"Soon. Probably after he finishes visiting this place." Feng Yuxiang said.
"What?! That\'s less than a week!"
"Yes… That\'s why I don\'t recommend you quit being an Alchemist. Unless you ascend with him, you won\'t be able to help him. After all, it\'s not like he can come down here every time he needs some pills from you."
"Furthermore, you\'re very talented in Alchemy. It would be a waste of talent if you stop now."
Wang Xiuying sighed, "I guess so…"
"You know, as a phoenix, I was born with the talent to control flames, and I have over 100,000 years of experience. You, on the other hand, are a human with less than 20 years of experience. If you continue being an Alchemist, I have no doubt you\'ll eventually surpass me in the future."
Wang Xiuying nodded with a serious expression on her face, "Then I will continue to practice Alchemy with a new goal in mind— to surpass you and stand by Yuan\'s side as his number one Alchemist in the future."
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "And I will start studying Alchemy seriously so that I can continue being his Alchemist. I won\'t go easy on you."
"I would never ask you to go easy on me, or that would make this entire thing meaningless. After all, we both want the best for Yuan."
Feng Yuxiang nodded, "Now then, if I want to study Alchemy, I will need some manuals. Does the Alchemy Store sell them?"
"Yes, they do, but they will only sell them to disciples of the sect. If you want some manuals, you can take mine. I no longer have any use for them since I\'ve already memorized everything." Wang Xiuying retrieved over 20 manuals and scrolls on Alchemy and medicine, placing them before Feng Yuxiang.
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "In exchange for your manuals, I will give you some treasures. What do you want? Weapons? Rare ingredients?"
"It\'s okay, I don\'t need any payment. These manuals aren\'t that expensive, either. They cost less than 1,000 gold coins together."
"I don\'t like owing debt to anyone. Even if they\'re worth one gold coin, I will pay for it." Feng Yuxiang shook her head.
She started searching inside her spatial ring the very next moment.
A few moments later, Feng Yuxiang retrieved a pill-sized clear marble that contained purple flames.
"I will give you this for the manuals." Feng Yuxiang handed this fiery marble to Wang Xiuying.
"What\'s this?" Wang Xiuying asked as she accepted the marble.
"This marble contains fire from a Violet Qilin, a powerful and rare magical beast known for their natural fire mastery. If you consume this treasure, you will gain the magical beast\'s talent, which will greatly boost your control of most flames out there, including Alchemy Flames."
"Wow… Are you sure you want to give me this treasure? It looks and sounds very expensive. How much would a treasure like this cost?" Wang Xiuying asked out of curiosity.
"Somewhere between 50 to 60 million spirit stones, I guess."
"F-Fifty million spirit stones?!" Wang Xiuying exclaimed in a shocked voice.
"This treasure is way too valuable! My manuals are only worth 1,000 gold coins at most!"
Feng Yuxiang shrugged and said, "Consider this as an investment."
"An investment? For what?" Wang Xiuying raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner.
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "While I don\'t like owing debts, I love it when people owe me."
"In the future, if I need something from you, just remember this debt you owe me. That\'s all."
"That sounds very suspicious. Like a loan shark. You won\'t ask me to do something ridiculous, right?" Wang Xiuying said in a doubtful voice.
"Who knows."
Wang Xiuying swallowed nervously. However, despite such a suspicious deal, she could not refuse the Violet Qilin\'s fire.
\'Since she is Yuan\'s friend, I can trust her… probably. And this treasure is just too good. I will definitely regret it for a very long time if I don\'t accept it.\'
After pondering for a moment, Wang Xiuying gave up and said, "Fine, I owe you."
"Anyways, how do I use this treasure? Do I just swallow it?"
Feng Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, swallow the entire thing. If you break the marble, the fire will explode and kill you."
"T-That\'s incredibly dangerous! What if it explodes after I swallow it?!"
"Don\'t worry, the marble won\'t break that easily, and once it\'s in your stomach, it will slowly release the Violet Qilin\'s fire, but you will see results immediately. Also, your stomach will feel like it\'s on fire for the next few days, but it won\'t hurt you. Once you absorb all of the Violet Qilin\'s fire, your control with fire will significantly improve, almost as though you\'d suddenly gained 1,000 years of experience."
"I understand. Thank you for the explanation and for this treasure." Wang Xiuying gently placed the marble in her mouth and swallowed it.
She could immediately feel her stomach\'s temperature increasing, and it was actually quite comfortable.
A few moments later, Wang Xiuying could no longer resist her curiosity and started playing around with her Alchemy Flame, and to her absolute shock, she could immediately see improvements just like Feng Yuxiang said.
"This is amazing! I can\'t believe how much I have improved already!" Wang Xiuying was jumping in joy as she danced around the room with her Alchemy Flames.
"If you\'re already this impressed, just wait until you finish absorbing the treasure." Feng Yuxiang said.
And she continued, "Of course, you will need way more than this treasure to beat me."
"Thank you! I will definitely repay this debt!" Wang Xiuying suddenly approached Feng Yuxiang and embraced her tightly.
"H-Hey! Who said you can hug me?! Only the Young Master is allowed to be intimate with my body!" Feng Yuxiang quickly pushed her away.
Wang Xiuying didn\'t mind being pushed away and even laughed.
"What a weird girl…" Feng Yuxiang shook her head inwardly.
