Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 279 - 274 Acquired Fire Seed

Upon learning that Ding Huan was the person who had rescued her at Purple Garden Mountain, Liu Yinyu’s attitude immediately underwent a change.

Now that Ding Huan said he needed her help, she did not hesitate to say,

"Ding Sect Master, please tell me, as long as it’s within my power, I will definitely do my utmost."

At that moment, she even regretted not giving Ding Huan enough support in the meeting hall just now.

Had she known Ding Huan was her rescuer, if Shi Qi Qiu dared to make a move against Ding Huan, she would have dared to take action against Shi Qi Qiu too.

Fortunately, Ding Huan remained dominant from beginning to end and easily pulled Shi Qi Qiu down from his high horse, even killing Shi Chuncang.

Ding Huan nodded slightly, at least he had not rescued the wrong person; this Liu Yinyu knew how to be grateful.

Since that was the case, there was no need to hide anything:

"Palace Master Liu, you’ve seen the performance of that old guy Shi Qi Qiu today.

I reckon this bastard is already bursting with rage. This kind of guy has been self-righteous for too long. If he doesn’t take revenge, he’ll have nightmares just trying to sleep..."

Liu Yinyu couldn’t help but feel amused by Ding Huan’s words.

Still so young, eh? Speaking his mind so directly, without any beating around the bush.

How nice would it be if she could also live as freely as Ding Huan, doing whatever she wanted to do, saying whatever she wanted to say?

"So my guess is, this old guy must be eyeing me. The moment I leave Wanbao City, he will ambush and try to kill me."

As Ding Huan spoke, Liu Yinyu seemed to understand something; she looked at Ding Huan:

"If Ding Sect Master needs me to accompany you to the Taoist Realm, that’s not a problem, and I can even invite a few friends to join us."

Ding Huan laughed heartily:

"If it were just a trip, I wouldn’t need to ask for Palace Master Liu’s help."

What a joke, asking Liu Yinyu for help just to have a bodyguard?

Liu Yinyu stared blankly at Ding Huan and finally understood his intention; he planned to counter-kill Shi Qi Qiu when ambushed.

No wonder Ding Huan dared to kill Shi Jiantian and raised his gun in the meeting hall against Shi Chuncang; the man’s boldness knew no bounds.

Despite how Ding Huan had killed Shi Chuncang with a single shot, she was certain that at best, Ding Huan was merely at the early stages of the True God Realm.

Shi Qi Qiu, however, was a mighty Level 7 Immortal. For a Level 7 Immortal to ambush and attempt to kill someone at the early stages of the True God Realm, and for that person, instead of finding a way to hide, to think about counter-killing—

Did he not understand the difference between an Immortal cultivator and a True God Realm cultivator?

Even with her added strength, they would not be enough for Shi Qi Qiu to kill; she was merely a Level 2 Immortal herself.

What’s more, it was very possible that Shi Qi Qiu might invite accomplices.

"Ding Sect Master, What I’m about to say may be hard on the ears, but with our combined strength, killing Shi Qi Qiu is simply impossible.

I’m not afraid to die—it’s just that such an endeavor is doomed to failure," Liu Yinyu shook her head.

Ding Huan replied:

"Palace Master Liu worries too much. I didn’t ask you to kill him. I will be the one to act; Palace Master Liu only needs to help detain this old guy for a moment."

Liu Yinyu looked at Ding Huan speechlessly:

"Ding Sect Master, first, I can’t hold him back. With my Level 1 Immortal strength, facing Shi Qi Qiu at the late stage of Immortal, I could only last for barely a dozen breaths.

Secondly, Shi Qi Qiu might invite companions, making it even less likely for us to be his match."

Ding Huan’s tone became serious:

"Palace Master Liu, you only need to hold Shi Qi Qiu back for a few breaths, not a dozen. Secondly, it’s unlikely that Shi Qi Qiu will invite companions."

Ding Huan was one hundred per cent sure that Shi Qi Qiu would not invite companions. Shi Qi Qiu was after his storage ring and the treasures he had obtained.

Inviting companions would only expose his own loot. How could Shi Qi Qiu monopolize the spoils then?

Liu Yinyu fell silent for a long while before speaking:

"Alright, I agree. But I need to tell you, I’m not afraid of dying, but I can’t afford to die now. So if I have no other choice, I may have to use a Forbidden Technique to escape, and I won’t be able to take you with me."

"No problem."

Ding Huan said without any hesitation, though inwardly he somewhat despised Liu Yinyu.

You’d use a Forbidden Technique to escape? If you could really do that, you wouldn’t have been nearly killed by Shi Jiantian at Purple Garden Mountain.

"Ding Sect Master, you can cultivate in the room on the left; it has the most abundant Spiritual Energy," Liu Yinyu decided to let Ding Huan use her room.

Ding Huan stood up:

"I won’t be cultivating here. I need to refine a few Magical Treasures and will need to rent an Artifact Refining Workshop."

Refining artifacts was just a ruse; Ding Huan intended to craft a slew of talismans to crush that old bastard Shi Qi Qiu.

The talismans he had were mostly Level 6, and he only had one Level 7 Hell Vine Talisman.

Now, he wanted to craft a batch of Level 7 talismans.

He just couldn’t believe that after locking Shi Qi Qiu down with a Level 7 Hell Vine Talisman, he could throw out a bunch of Level 7 Killing Trap Talismans, and Shi Qi Qiu would still be able to jump to the heavens?

Level 7 materials were scarce, and just the purchasing materials for crafting Level 7 talismans could bankrupt Ding Huan.

Ding Huan wasn’t concerned because he had thousands of feet of Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths, which could still be used to refine talismans.

"This is still a level 9 material. If he adds some Combat Soul Crystals, no matter how many Shi Qi Qius come, he’d crush them to death.

The reason he asked Liu Yinyu for help was twofold. The first was the worry that he wouldn’t be able to summon his talismans in time to be restrained by Shi Qi Qiu.

Although the possibility was slim, Ding Huan felt it was still necessary to take precautions.

He needed Liu Yinyu to take action, just to distract Shi Qi Qiu for a few breaths.

The second reason was his concern for Shi Qi Qiu’s potential escape. Having resolved to kill Shi Qi Qiu, he had to prevent any chance of escape.

Material like level 9 Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths couldn’t be refined with his True Fire, he could only look for Earth Fire in the Artifact Refining Workshop.

"Do you plan to refine artifacts?" Liu Yinzhu looked at Ding Huan, puzzled.

Ding Huan replied, "I’m not refining artifacts. I’m just going to borrow Earth Fire to craft some items."

Upon learning that he only needed Earth Fire, Liu Yinyu immediately said,

"Go to the Thunder Rhythm Pill Workshop. This workshop has a very strong Earth Fire. Among all the Earth Fires in the Ascension Realm, it ranks within the top three, maybe even the first."

…

Thunder Rhythm Pill Workshop.

The business of this pill workshop was just average, mainly due to its slightly remote location and the more expensive pills compared to other places.

When they heard Ding Huan was coming to borrow the Earth Fire, the workers at the workshop were not at all surprised.

It could be said that one-third of the business of the Thunder Rhythm Pill Workshop came from renting out the Earth Fire; there were too many people like Ding Huan coming to rent it.

Renting Earth Fire at the Thunder Rhythm Pill Workshop wasn’t cheap.

The deposit was one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones, with a daily fee of ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones.

Ding Huan didn’t hesitate and immediately took out the deposit of one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones to rent a room with Earth Fire in the workshop.

The room Ding Huan rented was number three with the character ’甲,’ and upon entering, he was quite satisfied. Although ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones a day was not cheap, the place was worth it.

The Earth Fire room was at least a hundred square meters or more, with an Earth Fire Port in the middle of the Alchemy Room. In a corner of the room, there was also a Big Pill Furnace.

If you were conducting Alchemy without bringing your own furnace, this Big Pill Furnace could be used free of charge.

Ding Huan began to set up Prohibitions. He planned to craft talismans here for a period and didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone, nor did he want anyone to know what he was doing.

He set up one level 7 defensive array, invisibility, Protecting Arrays, and more.

Once he had done this, Ding Huan planned to take out all his materials and also prepare to cut a segment of the Green Crystal to make talismans.

While organizing his materials, his Divine Will brushed across a gray-brown box in the Star House.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that he was crafting talismans now and planning to use all the materials he could, he really wouldn’t remember this gray-brown box in an instant.

He had obtained this box during his time in the Star Nebula, from the body of a cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm.

Initially, when Hao Wudao of the Nine Sounds Sect pursued Liu Yinzhu, Ding Huan intercepted him with an array and slaughtered Hao Wudao, acquiring this gray-brown box.

When he first got the box, Ding Huan felt a formidable aura inside and didn’t dare to open it.

After some calculation, he was even more reluctant to open it, so he had been left it within the Star House.

Now his cultivation had reached the Star Transformation Realm, maybe it would be alright to open this box.

Still, Ding Huan made some calculations.

The results still showed some risks, but within a manageable range.

Ding Huan decided to set up several more defensive Prohibitions before cautiously opening the gray-brown box.

As soon as the box opened, a wildly fierce and scorching aura swept forth, and Ding Huan quickly energized the defensive Prohibition.

Boom!

The aura slammed into the Array, rocking Ding Huan’s Prohibition unsteadily.

Ding Huan watched, shocked, as what was inside was nothing more than a small seed the size of a pea.

The seed kept leaping through the Void, but the violent aura gradually calmed down and weakened.

This is...

Ding Huan looked at the weakening pea-sized seed with curiosity, pondering what it could be.

Just at that moment, information about the seed suddenly appeared in his mind…

Ding Huan was overjoyed. That leather scroll truly was powerful, having always provided him with tremendous help.

Postnatal Fire Seed, condensed in the Innate, just lacking adequate destiny and Fire Element for birth.

After enduring endless eons of nurturing, absorbing the postnatal Fire Element, it formed itself into a Fire Seed.

Compared to the Innate Spark, it lacked something innate, yet it was definitely a top-tier treasure for cultivators…

The achievement of the Postnatal Fire Seed depended on the one who obtained it, how well they could nurture it to a certain level.

The natural Prohibition of the Postnatal Fire Seed was fragile. Once broken, the Fire Essence Qi had to be upgraded immediately; otherwise, it would degrade due to contamination and gradually revert to a common Fire Seed.

Without the nourishment of the elemental Fire Qi of heaven and earth, the common Fire Seed would continue to degrade until it vanished.

Ding Huan was shocked; no wonder the fire aura in his hand kept weakening – it was degrading on its own.

But he was so unprepared; how could he know that Hao Wudao, a minor cultivator from the Primordial Soul Realm, would possess such a heaven-defying object?

Fire Seeds weren’t easy to come by; encountering one was a huge stroke of luck. Ding Huan did not want to let this Fire Seed face Annihilation."
