Kapitel 78: Chapter 78: Untitled
Both parties got what they wanted.
Wei Yang quickly adjusted his mood and didn't dwell on it further. Even if he did suffer a small loss, it was still acceptable. At the very least, Wei Yang got what he wanted, and his expenditure, to be honest, wasn't much. The only tangible things he offered were the Green Lotus Core Flame and an advanced Xuan-class flying combat technique. As for the information about two types of Heavenly Flames, he made use of the information gap, trading it three or four years in advance for great benefits. It was akin to getting something for nothing. Otherwise, if he waited for three to four years until Xiao Yan arrived at the Black-Corner Region, the information would be worthless. During the transaction, both parties had their calculations, but they were satisfied with the results. No one could say who won or lost; they each got what they needed.
The only guilt Wei Yang felt was towards Xian'er. Due to his choice, Xian'er could only achieve a high-level Earth grade effect after converting to the Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique. Admittedly, he was selfish in this matter. However, Wei Yang chose not to explain it to Xian'er, keeping it to himself, thinking to make up for it later.
Above the magma lake, a streak of red-gold flame swiftly darted across the sky like lightning. With keen eyesight, one might faintly discern a blurry black silhouette wrapped in the flame — it was Wei Yang. At this moment, he was using a movement Dou technique. It was a low-level Earth grade movement Dou technique known as Flaming Fire Step. His body moved like a swift flame, agile and elusive. Now, Wei Yang could barely manage it proficiently.
Wei Yang, transformed into a streak of light, flashed rapidly in the void until he finally stopped and revealed himself, suspending in the air with Dou Qi wings gently flapping behind him. He opened his palms, and from each rose a dark red flame that swirled and eventually transformed into a small dark red flame dragon, coiling around his palms animatedly and lifelike. These dragons emitted an unusually powerful aura despite their petite form. This was the second level of the Nine Dragons Flame Controlling Technique, Double Dragons. Wei Yang frowned slightly as he observed the small flame dragons in his palms. A fourth-level peak beast flame indeed had its limitations and lacked the spiritual essence that a Heavenly Flame possessed. This made it difficult for him to cultivate the flame-controlling technique to the second level, finally forming the Double Dragons after two months of hard work. Using this fourth-level beast flame, he always felt something was missing.
Wei Yang recalled the battle with the Twin-headed Flame Spirit Snake, which unleashed numerous massive flame pythons. Using snake flames to form a dragon shape lacked the intimidation needed. After all, the Nine Dragons Flame Controlling Technique was modeled after the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame, incomparable to a mere fourth-level beast flame. The difference between them was akin to heaven and earth. Wei Yang glanced down at the magma below. They had been here for three months without any sight of the Twin-headed Flame Spirit Snake. Perhaps it was still hiding in the magma's depths to recover from injuries, or perhaps it sensed Wei Yang and Xian'er's arrival and decided to hide.
"A cunning beast," Wei Yang chuckled, having no intention of disturbing it. He lifted his gaze towards a particular direction. "Tsk, the Heavenly Flame needs to be arranged soon," Wei Yang murmured. Using a fourth-level beast flame for the Nine Dragons Flame Controlling Technique felt like using a small horse to pull a large cart. Wei Yang glanced once more at the distant platform where a white silhouette stood, his eyes showing a hint of a smile. Soon. Xian'er's transition to the new technique reached a critical stage, nearing success. Once completed, they would head to the depths of the Endless Desert. What would that unknown Heavenly Flame be? The prospect was exciting!
Wei Yang's willingness to give up the Green Lotus Core Flame stemmed not only from its unsatisfactory power but also largely because of the unknown Heavenly Flame. Its existence allowed him to decisively forgo the Green Lotus Core Flame. Now, it was imminent. Wei Yang whispered softly, "Just a few more days. Once Xian'er successfully transitions, we'll depart immediately."
Mor City, approximately a hundred miles from Rock Desert City, was a yellowish city somewhat larger than Rock Desert City, bustling with commerce. At dusk, as the day's heat gradually faded and the cold of night set in, it marked a transition between hot and cold. In the desert, this brief moment offered pleasant coolness, bringing comfort and relaxation. Many residents ventured out to enjoy the rare coolness. The scorching days and chilly nights made this short period truly pleasant weather.
Walking alone down the streets, hands behind his back, Wei Yang enjoyed the casual ease. His visit to Mor City aimed at purchasing auxiliary herbs. Since they planned to embark in a few days to find the Heavenly Flame, preparing Blood Lotus Pills in advance was essential. He already had Na Ling and Ice Spirit Cold Spring. The only thing left was the Blood Lotus Pill. He already possessed the main ingredients: Blood Lotus Essence and Ice Spirit Flame Grass, as well as a third-level water-elemental magic core, only missing two auxiliary herbs. But that posed no issue since they were common and easy to purchase.
Xian'er hadn't come with him, as she was at a crucial point in her technique transition and couldn't leave.
After sourcing the two herbs he needed from several stores, Wei Yang also bought a few herbs that caught his eye. By the time he strolled the streets again, the sky had darkened, and the temperature was dropping rapidly. The streets had fewer people, no longer bustling like at dusk, becoming more desolate.
"It's about time, no need to wander; I should head back," Wei Yang thought. Such small places as Mor City rarely offered valuable herbs that could catch his discerning eye as a top-tier alchemist. Finding several on this trip was already quite fortunate. Deciding thus, Wei Yang took a turn, strolling down a sparsely populated street leading toward the city's east gate.
Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on Wei Yang's lips. Why did this world never lack fools looking to die? Someone was tailing him! Though he hadn't unfurled his soul perception, his soul's strength and keen instinct let him sense a dark figure following him closely. A flicker of killing intent crossed Wei Yang's eyes. He quickly turned his steps into a secluded alley, then slowly turned around, speaking indifferently, "Show yourself."
Soon after, a small figure cloaked in a worn-out black robe hesitantly emerged. A somewhat timid voice came from under the robe, "Sir, are you looking for something or seeking to buy some item? I am familiar with Rock Desert City and can guide you in exchange for a small reward or some food."
