The Tagor Desert is home to a strange fire.
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame ranks nineteenth on the list of extraordinary flames.
This fire was born deep within the earth, and was forged, fused, compressed, and sculpted countless times by the earth's fire...
It takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus.
It was the first strange fire of heaven and earth that Xiao Yan obtained.
The original text states that the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame has the power to ignite volcanoes.
However, Liu Xi guessed that the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame also had the effect of body tempering and assisting Xiao Yan in fusing with other strange flames.
Otherwise, why would the Buddha's Wrathful Lotus resemble a lotus? That's hard to explain...
Liu Xi certainly wouldn't dare to covet the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.
He has neither the Burning Technique nor a system, nor is he a Battle King, Battle Emperor, or Battle Master.
With his current strength as a fighter, trying to steal the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame would be like an old man hanging himself, courting death.
However, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame no longer wanted to.
The lotus seat and lotus seeds, and the willow mat, still need some thought.
Liu Xi planned to take these two exceptional snake women under his wing and lead them to sense the aura left behind by Queen Medusa in the cave.
The blue scales can also sense it.
But it's always better to be prepared.
I'm not the main character, what if I don't encounter Qinglin?
What if Qinglin is unwilling to help me?
More roads mean more choices.
"Galio, bring those two top-tier snake women back to me. When they do, I'll refine a few pills to boost your strength."
Liu Xi immediately presented Galeo with the terms for the exchange.
Upon hearing this, Galeo was overjoyed. Brother Liu Xi was indeed a kindred spirit among us.
"Okay, Brother Liu Xi, I'll tell my father and I'll definitely help you get those two top-notch snake women back!"
Galeo responded enthusiastically, almost rushing back to inform his elderly father.
"Brother Liu Xi, do you want both snake women?"
Galeo rubbed his hands together again and asked tentatively.
He actually wanted one too, a top-tier snake woman. He, Galeo, had lived for so many years and had never even touched one.
"What, you want it too?"
Liu Xi gave him a cold glance.
"Uh, I don't want them, I don't want them, they all belong to Brother Liu Xi..."
Galeo quickly put on a smile.
This Brother Liu Xi doesn't seem to be a good brother who knows how to share.
"Um."
Liu Xi nodded in satisfaction.
Sharing, just kidding, can women be divided?
They all belong to him, Liu Xi!
"Brother Liu Xi, um... what kind of pills are you planning to refine to enhance my strength?"
Seeing that the chance of getting the perfect snake woman was hopeless, Galeo turned his attention to the issue of elixirs.
"Why ask so many questions? Just do my job well, and I'll reward you handsomely!"
Liu Xi glanced at him and said with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, Brother Liu is right."
Galeo dared not refute, and could only lower his head and obediently comply.
"Brother Liu Xi..."
Galeo couldn't stay still; he'd barely shut up for a few minutes before he was about to start talking again.
However, this time, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of mocking insults.
"Zhou the Cripple, are you crazy? You want to sell this piece of junk for five hundred gold coins?!"
"Five hundred gold coins, even a level one magic core wouldn't cost that much."
"Zhou the Cripple, you're just obsessed with money!"
"What ancestral prescription? Bah! It's just a tattered animal hide with no legible writing on it!"
"Let's go, let's go. Don't let this guy fool you. If his prescription were really that amazing, he wouldn't have become a cripple!"
"..."

A large crowd was surrounding a middle-aged father and daughter who looked dejected and weathered, mocking and ridiculing them.
Even worse, he spat several times at the middle-aged father and daughter.
However, despite the ridicule and sarcasm of these people, the down-on-his-luck middle-aged man, though anxious, remained unmoved.
"I'm telling the truth. My ancestor accidentally saved a master alchemist, and that master alchemist, to express his gratitude, personally passed this to my ancestor..."
"This is a prescription for making medicine. It's only 500 gold coins, really not expensive. Please, please buy it..."
The down-on-his-luck middle-aged man tried his best to explain himself, even invoking his title as an alchemist.
However, the people around him laughed even louder when they heard what he said.
"Hahaha, Zhou the Cripple, what kind of daydream are you having? What kind of status do alchemists have? Who would dare to provoke them? They are surrounded by powerful warriors. Do you really need your ancestors, who have no powerful figures at all, to come and save them?"
"That's hilarious! He picked up some tattered animal hide from who-knows-where and dares to pass it off as a master alchemist's recipe? If it were a real recipe, why don't you go to the Mittel Auction House and sell it to Master Gu Ni? What use would it be to us?!"
"This guy's brain is broken. Not only is he lame, but he's also mentally challenged. It's just a pity that his daughter is still so young!"
"..."
These people don't believe a single word a down-on-his-luck middle-aged man says.
The alchemist's prescription is so precious, how did it end up in the hands of this cripple?
This tattered animal hide is so illegible that you can't even read the words, yet it's supposed to be a medicine recipe!
Are you kidding me?
"Let me see this animal hide!"
However, there are indeed some stubborn individuals who insist on seeing through the animal hide.
Just as everyone was about to make a sarcastic remark or offer some words of advice,...
After seeing the person speaking clearly, they all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Ah, alchemist!"
"It really is an alchemist! No way, could this tattered animal hide that Zhou the Cripple is selling actually be an alchemy recipe!?"
"What a young and handsome alchemist!"
"Shut up, don't disturb the alchemist!"
"..."
The person who came to examine the torn animal hide was none other than Liu Xi, who was strolling through the street.
He was originally using his soul power, hoping to find a bargain in the market of the Jia Lie family.
Unexpectedly, when I passed by here just now, I actually felt a pulse of soul power.
Then, tracing back to the source, one sees the tattered animal hide in the hands of the down-on-his-luck middle-aged man.
"ah!"
The down-on-his-luck middle-aged man stared blankly at Liu Xi, his mouth agape in shock, unable to react for a long time.
"You cripple, are you deaf? Hand over that tattered animal hide you're holding to my brother Liu Xi for a look!"
Before Liu Xi could even urge him on, Galeo, who was standing next to him, became impatient.
He snatched the tattered animal hide from the down-on-his-luck middle-aged man's hand and gave him a good scolding.
Liu Xi: "..."
That's outrageous!
No wonder he was almost beaten to death in the street by Xiao Yan in the original story.
Clap clap clap!
Galeo, carrying the tattered animal hide, slapped it a few times with his hands.
Then, with a fawning expression, he handed the tattered animal hide to Liu Xi.
"Brother Liu Xi, please take a look."
Liu Xi: "..."
Damn it, what a sycophant.
Liu Xi glanced at him indifferently, then gave a soft "hmm" and took the tattered animal hide.
"Um?"
As soon as Liu Xi got his hands on the tattered animal hide, he sensed a faint and weak soul force inside.
"Could it really be a scroll of alchemy recipes?"
Liu Xi immediately became somewhat interested.
"Galeio, buy it!"
Instead of immediately using his soul power to scan it, Liu Xi casually flipped the tattered animal hide into his storage ring.
